Videos: Solar parking denied, signs and dwelling design approved @ ZBOA 2014-11-04

Dr. Urbonas withdrew half and tried the other half, but got it denied 5-1, because Valdosta’s LDR doesn’t account for solar parking lots. Everything else was approved 6-0, including nomination of officers.

The agenda is on Valdosta’s website and here is the meeting summary followed by a video playlist.
