Meeting to talk housing in Hoschton, Braselton

The cities of Braselton and Hoschton will hold joint council meetings at 6 p.m. March 22 in the Historic Braselton Gymnasium, 4825 Highway 53 in Braselton. The purpose of this meeting is to simultaneously consider requests for annexation and de-annexation of land to/from each municipality.

Braselton will consider the de-annexation of about 2.37 acres fronting the south side of Henry Street while Hoschton will consider annexation of the same property. The property owner and applicant, LSH Development, LLC, is seeking the change in annexation and zoning for a multi-family residential development. The property’s current zoning in Braselton allows for single-family homes. A site plan for the proposed MFR zoning has not been received. Braselton has already voted to approve the annexation contingent on Hoschton approving the de-annexation.
