acres and is proposed to be rezoned WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban, which would allow for
a maximum density of two (2) dwelling units per acre. The existing zoning district would allow
for a similar density. The intent of the rezoning is allow the property owner to develop the subject
21 acres cohesively with the adjacent 34 acres that are zoned WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on July 19, 2018 and voted 6-0 to
recommend approval.
