For the Valdosta
four public hearings tonight at 5:30 PM,
see first the LAKE videos of the Planning Commission Work Session and Regular Session.
That
cemetery rezoning is quite controversial.
The housing resolution may be related to proposed joint city-county nonprofit for rehab housing in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity.
Also, Valdosta has a new website, apparently as of yesterday; follow this link for more about that and an online survey.
Here’s the agenda. Continue reading
The Lowndes County cases
are the ones the County Commission is reviewing
this morning in their Work Session.
GLPC recommended approval for all of them, with conditions on one,
REZ-2016-03 Jacob Eckwahl on US 41 South.
See also the GLPC agenda and the LAKE videos of the 19 Jan 2016 GLPC Work Session. Below are the LAKE videos of the 25 Jan 2016 GLPC Regular Session, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading
Not on
the agenda,
they started with
a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan.
Expecting from

the Planning Commission and staff in their usual spots.
See separate post.
Here are the LAKE videos with some notes, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading
The owner of
a parcel on US 41 South wants to rezone
from R-10 back to Estate Agriculture.
That Lowndes County case is the opposite of the Hahira case that wants
rezoning
from single-family to multi-family,
and there are many other cases in between, plus
another cemetery case!
Here’s the agenda for Monday’s Regular Session, and also for last Monday’s Work Session, even though it doesn’t say that.

The Zoning Board of Appeals
last Tuesday
denied
>
the proposed cemetery: it turned out not only neighbors didn’t want it,
many of the family members didn’t, either.
Here is
the LAKE video of the entire meeting, including
the return of the name badges (still undecided), and some new cases
(
sign variance denied in an unusual three-way split vote,
house variance approved,
and
parking approved with conditions),
including
another Valdosta sanitary sewer variance (approved with conditions).
First, ZBOA’s own summary of the votes, then the video.
