Rezone On Oconee County Planning Commission Agenda Includes Proposal To Modify Historic Property
The Oconee County Planning Commission will review a proposal for a mixed-use development that includes a historic home.
A rezone request that would convert three pieces of property that front on Hog Mountain Road just west of Butler’s Crossing into a mixed use development with both retail stores and offices is before the Oconee County Planning Commission for review Monday night.
The property currently contains three houses, one of which is being used as a business, and abuts residential and agricultural properties at the rear.
The house currently being used as a business is designated as historic and either will be extensively remodeled or removed to accommodate a restaurant, according to the rezone proposal
The Yarn House, 2411 Hog Mountain Road, is the current tenant.
The proposal is to add three additional commercial structures, including one facing Hillcrest Drive, and three office buildings at the rear to separate the businesses from the residential and agricultural properties.
