The Snellville City Council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. June 11 at City Hall on a request by Main-McGee Investment, LLC, for a conditional use permit for property at the intersection of Henry Clower Boulevard and State Route 124/Scenic Highway to renovate and reopen the former Sims gas station. The applicant is also requesting variances from the buffer, landscape, and tree ordinance, as well as sections from the city’s zoning ordinance and development regulations.
The triangular property contains a single concrete block building, canopy, fuel pumps and related parking. The New London Plaza, the only adjacent property is just to the north. Originally developed in 1986 as a gas station, the station closed in Oct. 2011 and has been vacant ever since.
Though the property is currently 0.54± acres, a portion of the property that forms the corner of the intersection is being taken by GDOT for work related to the ongoing Displaced Left-Turn Intersection improvement at Scenic Highway and US-78/Main Street. The land being taken equals roughly 0.05 acres, leaving the remaining property approximately 0.48 acres in size.
If approved, the permit will most likely be issued with conditions related to landscaping, sidewalks and signage.
