High-Density Development Withdrawn in Holly Springs

HOLLY SPRINGS, GA -- A proposal to annex and rezone land in Hickory Flat to build hundreds of homes is apparently off the table.

Parks Huff, the attorney for applicant FR-Peachtree, LLC, withdrew their applications without prejudice during the Holly Springs City Council's work session on Monday, said City Manager Rob Logan.

Logan said the proposals to annex and rezone the land "will not be coming back for a vote."

"Mr. Huff indicated that the project was not economically feasible for his client," Logan added.

FR – Peachtree, LLC originally petitioned Holly Springs to annex about 86 acres and rezone about 180 acres to Planned Development Residential for build 454 age-targeted homes in a private, gated community near the intersection of Stringer Road and S.R. 140.

Logan added Holly Springs Community Development Director, staff and elected officials had been working with the applicant for the past several weeks to modify their site plan to limit the density of the proposed project, eliminate the courtyard model homes and improve the amenities offered in the plan.
