The Gainesville City Council will vote tonight on a proposal to build a drive-thru restaurant and small retail outlet at the intersection of Thompson Bridge Road and Virginia Circle. While recent changes to the proposal include additional landscaping buffers, and allow for entrance-only access off Virginia Circle, city planning staff still recommended denying the rezoning request out of concerns it is “inconsistent” with the city’s comprehensive plan and future development map. The planning and appeals board has twice recommended denial.
