Following a unanimous denial by its Planning Commission, the Lilburn City Council deadlocked at 2 in favor and 2 opposed to the rezoning request that would have allowed Dar-E-Abbas to construct a 20,000-square-foot mosque on four acres at U.S. 29 and Hood Road. The tie vote equals a denial and rejection of the rezoning application.
The issue will now proceed back to federal court for a judge to decide.
