The Lilburn City Council recently approved the rezoning of approximately four acres at 313 Luxomni Road to allow the property owner to lease the inventory/overflow parking area and first floor building space to a full-service auto center including repair, towing, and impound lot.
The property was redeveloped in 2014 as an auto auction center with a 12,400-square-foot building to be used for office and warehouse space, and an expansion of the same owner’s nearby auto sales business.
Approval comes with conditions including inoperable vehicles, damaged vehicles and vehicles awaiting repair must be enclosed in the building or within the impound parking area and screened from public view. Vehicles leaking fluids must also be stored in the building with approved oil/grit separator. No body or paint repair or major vehicle overhaul/conversions, dismantling or salvage may occur.
In addition, the tow service impound parking area must be secured with a minimum 6-foot fencing with a gate to access the stormwater management facility. If a chain link fence is utilized, it must be vinyl coated black, brown or green in color.
