The Local Agenda: City planning board takes up Thompson Bridge-Virginia Circle proposal
Placeholder Image
The Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board will meet today to vote on a proposed drive-thru restaurant and small retail outlet at the intersection of Thompson Bridge Road and Virginia Circle. 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. Gainesville planning staff has expressed concerns about the development, saying portions of the proposal do not meet the city’s comprehensive plan.
