Oconee County Commissioners have started the process of rezoning 33 acres at the intersection of the Oconee Connector and Mars Hill Road.
This land was previously proposed for a shopping center with a Publix as the main store, but the Board rejected the request in 2022 due to traffic concerns, leading to a lawsuit from the property owner, Deferred Tax LLC.
The 33 acres will be divided into four parts, with the largest portion zoned as B-2 Highway Business District and another part zoned as B-1 General Business District, with B-2 being the more intense category.
The two parcels facing Mars Hill Road are planned to be zoned as OIP Office Institutional Professional District.
