44 Dewey Rd, Lilburn, GA 30047

Mixed-Use District

The MU district is intended to accommodate creative mixed-use development along Lilburn's arterials in appropriate locations to promote redevelopment of under-utilized properties and support the transitioning of these areas from primarily low density residential to complementary groupings of mixed-use buildings and sites that include community and neighborhood scale retail and services, professional offices, varied housing options, and open space. Mixed-use development provides a compatible mix of non-residential uses with housing opportunities within the immediate area, either in the same building or in proximity, while maintaining a healthy living environment for the residents of the district.; The MU district is also intended to encourage flexible, innovative and creative concepts in site planning; the efficient reuse of land in transitioning areas; a stable multiple-use environment that is compatible with adjacent uses and established neighborhoods; and walking and bicycling through improved connectivity.; This type of development can accommodate a variety of housing options and densities; however, a mix of housing types and densities alone does not constitute a mixed-use development.; The MU District is specifically applicable to properties within the Character Areas identified as Old Town Overlay and Lawrenceville Highway Overlay depicted on the Lilburn 2019 Comprehensive Plan Character Area Map. All properties within these Character Areas and others that support a mix of highly compatible uses within a single development, are eligible to apply for rezoning to the Mixed-Use Zoning District.
