An organization that helps young adult men overcome social disorders remains optimistic of getting city permission to house them in a historical building on Green Street. Plans by Brightstone Transitions to operate an office and residence for up to eight young men ranging in age from 18 to 24 received an unexpected setback earlier this month. Despite a favorable recommendation from planning staff, the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board voted 4-3 to recommend denying the group’s zoning petition.
