North Hall development tied up in court
Lawsuit challenges rezoning for apartments
Placeholder Image
An 83-acre development in North Hall County that includes plans for a large apartment complex sits in limbo as the parties await a judge’s ruling on whether a lawsuit challenging a rezoning decision by the Hall County Board of Commissioners will be dismissed or allowed to move forward. Jeffrey and Hart Payne, whose property is adjacent to the site near the intersection of Price and Thompson Bridge roads, filed the lawsuit in Hall County Superior Court in March. Defendants include the county government, the commissioners, county Planning Director Srikanth Yamala and Riverbrook Village Partners LLC. Before the economic downturn, the developers planned to build 45 townhomes, which had neighborhood support.
