The Oconee County Planning Commission will hold public hearings on four different rezoning requests tonight, including one that will have impact on everyone who uses the already busy intersection of Hog Mountain Road and U.S. 441.
ABE Consulting, on behalf of property owner Toccoa 85 LP, is asking the county to rezone 1.7 acres, with frontage on and access to both Hog Mountain Road and U.S. 441, to allow development of a small commercial shopping center.
The project is being called Ray’s Corner, reflecting the historic name of the intersection.
Also on the agenda is a rezone for two fast food restaurants on Hog Mountain Road just west of Butler’s Crossing, a request to rezone just less than 30 acres on Mars Hill Road at the intersection of Mars Hill Road and SR 316 for a supply business, and a rezone request for an office and showroom in Bogart.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the courthouse in Watkinsville.
