What had been the site of a longstanding Chevron gas station at one of East Cobb’s busiest intersections may soon house an oil change business.
Valvoline Instant Oil Change has requested a site plan revision from the Cobb Board of Commissioners to develop the acre lot for a 2,088-square-foot oil facility.
Those plans are scheduled to be heard by commissioners on April 19 (you can read the filings here).
Filings with the zoning office indicate the facility will have three bays and will have right-in and right-out access only on Roswell Road (see rendering at the bottom).
There also will be landscaping a trash enclosure and 15 parking spaces.
Since rezoning isn’t required, the application doesn’t have to go to the Cobb Planning Commission. But county commissioners must approve changes to site plans.
Commissioners approved general commercial rezoning for the property in 1999, and it’s been the site of gas stations since the early 1970s.
The Chevron station closed in late 2020, and was demolished in early 2021, not long after we stopped in and snapped the above photo.
The Valvoline filings and county property tax records indicate that the two parcels making up the 0.95 acres have a combined appraised value of $822,240.
The owner of a 0.89 acre tract in that assemblage, Ruth McLaughlin, also owns 0.71 acres directly behind it that’s valued at $1.24 million.
