Oconee County Planning Commission To Discuss Medical Complex, RV Storage, Tenant Farm Dwelling
The Planning Commission on Monday night will consider three different rezones before the county.
The Oconee County Planning Commission is scheduled to take up three rezone requests Monday night, the largest of which in terms of financial impact is likely to prove the least controversial.
After asking that its request be tabled in October, Oconee Medical Holdings LLC is seeking approval tomorrow of a rezone of a little more than 14 acres at Jennings Mill Road and Virgil Langford Road for construction of Phase III of Three Sixteen Professional Quarter.
If approved, the medical and general office complex will stretch from SR 316 to Jennings Mill Road. Developers are estimating the value of this third phase alone at $30 million.
The Commission also will evaluate a rezone request from property owners Herbert E. Michael and Mark Selvidge to construct an enclosed and canopy parking facility for recreational vehicles and boats on five acres at the northeast corner of New High Shoals Road and Union Church Road.
Finally, the Planning Commission will review a request from Samuel F. Border to divide his 15 acres on SR 15 south of Watkinsville into two lots, one for a single-family home and the other for what had been built as a tenant house.
The Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners rejected a similar plan in 2012 when nearby residents objected.
