Plans to redevelop the Lanier Plaza shopping center on Thompson Bridge Road were dealt a setback Tuesday night. After hearing concerns from several residents about the impact of increased traffic and the pending eviction of small businesses in the shopping center, the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board voted 4-2 to recommend denial of a rezoning needed so the redevelopment can proceed. “I don’t support the development in any way,” said planning board member Dexter Stanley.
