SU-16-10 — Distillery with tasting room (in addition to existing brewery) in Lawrenceville, GA
This case seeks to add distillery operations to an existing brewery on a 0.85-acre parcel in the LM zoning district with no building expansion or external modifications. Approval would allow a craft spirits producer and tasting room as a complementary use to the established brewery operating under the original SU-16-10 permit since 2016. For developers, this demonstrates that compatible mixed-beverage manufacturing uses can be compatible with light industrial zoning in downtown revitalization areas.
