[Rezonings]
Rezonings

Here are the candidates for Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County:

HISTORY, FACTS AND ISSUES: The term of Dr. Brian Griner on the Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County will expire on August 1, 2022. The Authority has submitted the names of Dr. Brian Griner, Mr. Bo Lovein, and Mrs. Suzanne Mathis for consideration. They have all expressed an interest in serving on the Authority.

The term of Dr. John Roan on the Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County will expire on August 1, 2022. The Authority has submitted the names of Dr. John Roan, Mr. Hayden Hancock, and Mrs. Suzanne Mathis for consideration. They have all expressed an interest in serving on the Authority.

The agenda is quite vague about where each of the rezonings is. The agenda sheet starts:

HISTORY, FACTS AND ISSUES: This request represents a change in zoning on the subject property from Estate Agricultural (E-A) zoning to Crossroads Commercial (C-C) zoning. The general motivation, in this case, is for the development of approximately two acres of the subject property for “future commercial use,” per the letter of intent. The subject property possesses road frontage on Madison Hwy, a State maintained minor arterial road. Concerning the Comprehensive Plan Future Development Map the subject property is in the Urban Service Area and depicted as an Agricultural/Forestry Character Area. Per Comprehensive Plan guidance, C-C zoning is listed as a recommended zoning within an Agriculture/Forestry Character Area.

Here is the likely location of REZ-2022-13 Hunter Property, Madison Hwy, E-A to C-C, County Water & Septic, ~7ac:

Parcel Number 0097 032
Location Address MADISON HWY
HUNTER LEWIS FRANKLIN & JAMES WALLACE HUNTER;
240 14TH AVE S, JACKSONVILLE BEACH, FL 32250

The Tax Assessors map has no Beasley on River Road. But there is a clue in the agenda sheet for REZ-2022-14 Ben Beasley, River Rd. R-21 to R-A, County Water & Septic, ~13acres:

HISTORY, FACTS AND ISSUES: This request represents a change in zoning on a portion of the subject property from R-21 (Medium Density Residential) to R-A (Residential Agricultural) zoning. The original parcel was 17 acres and includes two existing residential dwellings that were subdivided into a 1-acre and 3-acre tract earlier this month. If approved, the applicant intends to utilize Family Ties and further subdivide the ~13-acre tract to create up to 5 additional lots. Per ULDC Section 4.04.04 “Lots created as a result of the Family Ties Land Division are exempt from the subdivision standards set forth in Section 4.04.00, the water/sewer connection requirements in Chapter 4 and Chapter 6, and the platting requirements set forth in Chapter 10, provided that the lots are conveyed to a grandparent, parent, spouse, stepparent, adopted parent, sibling, child, stepchild, adopted child, or grandchild of the owner(s) of the parcel to be divided (parent parcel).”

There was no County Commission meeting earlier this July, but the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission meeting on June 27th included “REZ-2022-14 Ben Beasley, 4374 River Road, Map/Parcel# 0144-041, ~12.9 Acres, Current Zoning: R-21 (Medium Density Residential), Proposed Zoning: R-A (Residential Agricultural)”. So this is probably where the current rezoning is:
