A rezoning request needed for the development of a drive-thru restaurant and small retail outlet at the intersection of Thompson Bridge Road and Virginia Circle will be heard again tonight after changes were made to the proposal. 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. The Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board denied the request late last year, heeding concerns from area residents that the commercial development would be too invasive in the local neighborhood.
