Planning staff recommends approval of Park St. plans

Plans for three duplex homes and a single-family residence on Park Street have been recommended for approval by the Gainesville planning staff.

Candler Development Services is asking for the rezoning of about two-thirds of an acre from Residential One (R-I) to Residential Two (R-II). The tract is between Park Street Place and St. Charles Place.

The proposal goes before the Gainesville Planning & Appeals Board Tuesday. Its staff is recommending conditional approval of this rezoning based on the Comprehensive Plan and the adjacent industrial uses.
