Lilburn Planning Commission unanimously approves rezoning of 249 Poplar St. to R-1
Summary
The City of Lilburn Planning Commission voted unanimously on May 28, 2026, to rezone 249 Poplar St. (about 1.8 acres) from Office & Institutional (O/I) to R-1 Low Density Residential after staff found the property's use consistent with single-family housing and recommended approval without conditions.
The City of Lilburn Planning Commission voted unanimously on May 28, 2026, to rezone 249 Poplar St. — a parcel the staff describes as approximately 1.8 +/- acres and recorded as District 6, Land Lot 134, Parcel 020B, owned by the Estate of Nellie Faye Black — from O/I (Office and Institutional) to R-1 Low Density Residential. Planning Director Reid Turner told the commission that the property's use has remained single-family residential and that staff found no conflicts with the legal standards for rezoning, concluding the change aligns with the comprehensive plan and downtown master concept goals.
The item, listed as RZ-2026-01, was presented by Reid Turner, with City Planner Matthew Ferreira also recorded as staff present. The property owner approached the podium to confirm a desire to revert the zoning to residential to match longstanding single-family use; no members of the public spoke in opposition during the public comment period. Board member Michael Delashmit moved to approve the rezoning, Board member Beanie Danos seconded, and the motion passed with all present voting in favor. The commission adjourned at about 7:40 p.m.
