The Snellville City Council voted recently to zoning and land use changes to allow Brannen Development Co. to construct a 72,000-square-foot, three-story, controlled air, self-storage facility on 2 acres at 2387-97 Lenora Church Road. A portion of the property at 2387 Lenora Church Road contains a partially built 48,000-square-foot vacant steel structure that shares parking with Carlin Vision.
The property had been designated within the city’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map for office/professional, but the developer stated a study of the market does not show a demand for medical or office/professional in the area. In documents filed with the city, Brannen Development Co. noted “for over 10 years, this partially built structure has become a source of vandalism and shelter for local transients.”
Approval came with conditions including a requirement the storage units may not be used for manufacturing, retail or wholesale selling, office or other business or service use or for human habitation.
