The Fayetteville City Council is expected to vote Thursday after council members hear a second reading of a zoning amendment that would permit the sale of vehicles such as mobile homes, recreational vehicles and boats in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zoning district by special exception.

Council members will also vote on an off-street parking and loading amendment related to the M-1 zoning district.

The request to amend the M-1 zoning district came from the Planning and Zoning Commission last year when commissioners asked to have vehicle sales added to the M-1 zoning district.

At that time, vehicle sales were allowed by special exception in the Highway Commercial (C-3) and High Intensity Commercial (C-4) district but not in M-1.

Gasoline and diesel fuel sales, motor vehicle repair facilities, garages, tow services, body shops and paint shops are all currently allowed in the M-1 district.

Pertaining to off-street parking, the amendment requires that all vehicle display and storage areas be on paved parking areas, that advertising conform to the sign ordinance and servicing and maintenance follow prescribed guidelines.

The board will also consider an agreement with Georgia Power Co. for the installation and maintenance of streetlights on Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard.
