Ga. company denied special business license

A request for a special use business license has been denied for tire and oil change firm Kauffman Tire Inc. in Conyers, Georgia. The city council refused to let the business develop a 1.75 acre track in a mixed-use village overlay district. According to the Rockdale Citizen, the Planning Department and Conyers-Rockdale Planning Commission said that the business did not fit in with the mixed-use zoning district. Nearby residents had also complained about the request. Conyers' director of planning and inspection services, Marvin Flanigan, told the news provider: "Based on the uses existing in the mixed-used development area, there are no auto uses at all in that district, and based on that fact that it is inconsistent of all the other retail uses in the area and potential uses, we felt it was not capable and fit in with what's there." Echoing these concerns, councilman Vince Evans explained that the area where Kauffman Tire had been proposed to set up was designed to have a "village feel" and be more pedestrian-friendly.
