The busy stretch

of Ga. Highway 74 near Redwine Road will probably get a little busier

after the Fayette County Commission voted to rezone the property last

week.

The County

Commission decided to rezone the 6.6 acre tract from Agricultural Residential

to Office Institutional.

Ann Hayes,

was representing Kenneth and Cynthia Reynolds, who requested the property

be rezoned to Community Commercial.

"In 1986,

when they bought the property, it was commercial on the land use map,

but changed to residential in 1994," she said.

Hayes also

explained a 24-acre site across the street from the property was rezoned

commercial by the commission in the last two years.

"I live

off Redwine Road and would love to see a bank and drugstore nearby,"

she said.

Both the Planning

Commission and the county's staff recommended O-I for the property.

Commissioner

A.G. VanLandingham asked if Hayes could accept the office zoning category.

When she said she could, he made a motion to rezone it O-I.

"It's

just not as destructive as commercial," he said.
