The Hall County Commission on Thursday approved a rezoning request allowing for the construction of 52 homes off Winder Highway in South Hall County.
Applicant Ponderosa Land Holdings, LLC sought to rezone a 31.64-acre track on the west side of Winder Highway near its intersection with Plantation Drive to Planned Residential Development, which the commission approved unanimously.
Two people spoke in opposition to the rezoning during a public hearing prior to the vote Thursday. Both voiced concerns related to traffic and road safety, particularly in relation to traffic from the nearby World Language Academy.
Commissioner Kathy Cooper said she felt that the development would not have a major impact on traffic.
"It's not a very big development," Cooper said. "I don't think the impact of 52 houses is going to be detrimental to that area."
Cooper said the homes are estimated to have a value of over $400,000.
