Well, it wasn’t all that brief, because
3. REZ-2017-11 Dasher Johnson & Howell Roads
for an office far away from any similar zoning
was contentious and almost 40 minutes long,
with a split vote against, although later
the Lowndes County Commission passed the rezoning anyway.
Second longest was 4. CU-2017-05 206 East College Street (B&B) at almost nineteen minutes. Everything else sailed through.
Below are links to each LAKE video with a few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also the agenda, which post has some background on 3. REZ-2017-11.

3. REZ-2017-11 Dasher Johnson & Howell Roads, 44.97 (part 2)
Video. The main point of opposition by citizens and Planning Commissioners was the precedent: on what grounds would the Planning Commission oppose any other rezoning like this anywhere if they recommend for this one?
The vote was 5:2:1 to recommend against, with McLendon and Gladwin opposing the motion, and Rountree abstaining.
Nonetheless, the Lowndes County Commission passed the rezoning anyway.
