All Valdosta cases: 2 small and 1 big annexation and rezoning @ GLPC 2024-07-29

On Bemiss Road, the storage facility and the “event center called the “Enchanted Hall” that specializes in weddings, quincenaras, and family reunions, with an anticipated overall seating capacity of about 160 people,” seem unremarkable in next week’s agenda for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).

For the Southern Gateway annexation and rezoning south of the airport, you can see a pond in the Aerial Location Map.

No WRPDO map was included in either packet.

The Lowndes County Tax Assessors map does not show floodplain there.

However, VALORGIS shows the whole area as Aquifer Recharge Zone.
