Work session previews rezoning of Hickory Road site for 17 single‑family homes
Summary
At a Holly Springs City planning work session, staff and commissioners previewed a rezoning request by e c New Vision, Georgia, LLC to convert roughly 3.97 acres on Hickory Road from light industrial to Traditional Neighborhood Development to allow about 17 single‑family units; fire access and connections to adjacent subdivisions were flagged for follow‑up.
Unidentified Speaker 1 opened the Holly Springs City planning work session and introduced Item A (MA082025), a rezoning application from e c New Vision, Georgia, LLC for roughly 3.97 acres off Hickory Road to change from Light Industrial (LI) to Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND).
Unidentified Speaker 2, who described the applicant as the developer behind nearby cottages on Redbud Lane and Arthur Drive, said the concrete plant on the site "will be going away" and that the rezoning would permit additional single‑family housing. "They're just proposing to rezone it to TND for additional single family housing, 17 units, which would be 4.28 units on that side," Unidentified Speaker 2 said during the work session.
Commission members pressed staff on site‑plan issues. The city engineer and staff have requested that the applicant provide internal access into the adjacent subdivisions and remove the Hickory Road entrance; that change would remove a buffer requirement between the neighborhoods, staff said. Commissioners also asked whether the project's internal street layout met fire‑access standards, with one member noting that a street "looks like it's too far back up to the fire truck" and that "the fire marshal will weigh in on that." Staff indicated the fire marshal and city engineer will review those technical details as the application proceeds.
The work session was procedural: Unidentified Speaker 1 reiterated that this meeting is for review and comment only and that "final decisions and recommendations will not be made at this meeting." The rezoning will proceed to a publicly advertised hearing where the applicant and members of the public may speak, and any formal recommendation or vote will occur at a later date.
What happens next: staff will provide the planning commission with updated site‑plan materials, responses from the city engineer and fire marshal, and additional access/connectivity details before the item returns for public hearing and council consideration.
