Commissioners OK rezoning for 40 townhomes near Buford Highway in Sugar Hill
Summary
The board approved rezoning 4.14 acres along Buford Highway to allow 40 townhomes at roughly 9.66 units per acre; the action followed a unanimous planning commission recommendation and no speakers in opposition.
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 28 approved rezoning of roughly 4.14 acres along Buford Highway (addresses in the record: 1064–1078 and 1094 Buford Highway) from R‑75 to RTH to permit a townhouse subdivision of 40 units, a density the applicant cited as 9.66 units per acre.
Planning staff told the board the proposal conforms to the unified plan’s “neighborhood traditional plus” future land‑use designation and that staff and the planning commission recommended approval with conditions. The applicant, Mushtaq Musa, said the development would include an open detention area and single access from Buford Highway; he also said the pre‑application meeting and traffic study were completed and that the planning commission approved the request unanimously.
No speakers appeared in opposition during the public hearing. The board moved to approve the rezoning with the planning commission’s recommended conditions, and the motion carried by voice vote.
Next steps: the approval allows the developer to advance through site‑plan and permitting steps subject to the board’s conditions. The applicant said the homes are planned “for sale.”
