BY JOSHUA SILAVENT jsilavent@gainesvilletimes.com Heeding concerns from area residents and city planning staff, the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board on Tuesday unanimously recommended denying a rezoning request needed for the development of a drive-thru restaurant and small retail outlet at the intersection of Thompson Bridge Road and Virginia Circle. City Council will vote on the matter when it meets Dec. 2. David Johnson, a local cardiovascular doctor, is asking the city to rezone three properties, two of which have homes on the lots, at the intersection from residential development to neighborhood business.
