Lilburn Council to vote on $745,000 property purchase, SPLOST investment July 13
Lilburn’s City Council on July 13 will consider several financial and property moves, including the purchase of a commercial building on Lawrenceville Highway for $745,000 and the investment of $4 million in unspent SPLOST funds. The council will also vote on accepting land from the Downtown Development Authority and extending the city’s waste-collection contract through 2029.
Council meeting and work session July 13
Both the council’s work session and regular meeting are set for July 13. The work session is typically a discussion forum, while the regular meeting includes formal votes. Highlights on both agendas include:
- **Purchase of 4844 Lawrenceville Highway** for $745,000. The city says the price was negotiated down from an initial $850,000. The purpose is to improve the gateway to Old Town.
- **Investment of $4,000,000 in unspent SPLOST proceeds** into the Georgia Fund 1 local-government investment pool.
- **Acceptance of Tracts 1 and 3 at 57 Railroad Avenue** from the Downtown Development Authority. The transfer would reduce the DDA’s debt by $176,243.
- **Approval of a change order and contract extension with Georgia Waste Systems**, adding bulk collection, expanding recycling, and extending the agreement through Dec. 31, 2029.
All items are on the consent agenda for the regular meeting, meaning they are expected to be passed in a single vote unless a council member pulls an item for separate discussion.
Planning Commission reviews comprehensive plan, zoning changes
At a June 25 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the city’s 2026 Comprehensive Plan Update. The board was scheduled to review final revisions before submitting the plan to the state. The commission also considered two zoning amendments: one adjusting rules for non-commercial livestock and fowl quantities (Section 723), and another modifying the duration and frequency of temporary use permits (Section 731).
Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so no official decisions are available.
