A rezoning request for an auto and truck body repair shop on Walker Parkway, near the Ellis Road/Ga. Highway 85 intersection, will be reviewed by the Fayette County Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday.

The commission meets at 7 p.m. at the County Administrative Complex.

Thomas Houser and Fairy Houser Mell also will ask that 2.96 acres on Ga. highway 138 at Ga. Highway 314 be rezoned from a residential to a commercial category to allow a convenience store/gas station, plus retail shops.

Ronnie Alley and Jimmy Alley Sr. are asking for a change from a commercial zoning category to M-1 industrial for the 1.32-acre parcel.

Also on the agenda will be Mukut Gupta's request for a zoning change to allow 28 homes on 40.5 acres on Old Senoia Road.

W. R. Clifton and D. B. Scroggins Jr. will present their request to change the zoning of one acre on Hewell Road to allow a single home. The property's current zoning would require a minimum lot size of five acres.

Clifton also will ask the commission to approve adding four tenths of an acre to lot 26 of The Links subdivision, phase two. The parcel is currently zoned for five-acre lots and would have to be rezoned in order to attach it to the building lot.

The Planning Commission will make its recommendations concerning the proposed rezonings to the County Board of Commissioners, which will hear the requests July 27 at 7 p.m. at the County Administrative Complex.

Planning commissioners also will review a preliminary plat for The Links, phase three, calling for seven homes on 7.7 acres. The property is already zoned to allow that number of homes, and the Planning Commission's decision on the preliminary plat will be final.
