N&R reports City of Greensboro planning staff has recommended rezoning 6 acres on the corner Friendly Avenue and Hobbs Road for retail use, which once again will draw protests from nearby residents.
Next up— the city’s Zoning Commission and then—if necessary— the City Council.
Tom Terrell, attorney for the Atlanta-based developer, says his client has “gone above and beyond” in appeasing neighbors with the offer to leave at least 115 feet of land undeveloped and build a 13-foot wall.
“There is no other development in the Piedmont Triad that I am aware of where a developer has offered to construct a 13-foot tall wall adjacent to a residential area,” Terrell tells the N&R.
