IN BRIEF: Conyers city council approved rezoning and a special use permit at the Wednesday night meeting to allow a tire store on Ga. Highway 138 next to Wendy's.

The permit for the SF Discount Tire already required building sidewalks and four feet of landscaping space since the acre-sized lot which is located in an overlay district which has been the focus of land planning and development efforts by the city. The city council added a requirement for split board fences with brick pillars. Currently, a former restaurant building sits on the lot but will reportedly be torn down. Several other automotive parts stores are located on Ga. Highway 138 nearby.
