Freight line rezoning reviewed by Planning Commission @ GLPC 2019-02-25

After Gretchen called Lowndes County yesterday,

last month’s GLPC agenda

magically appeared on the county website, along with a

2019 tab
for it to appear in.

In addition to a motel, an events center, and an office in
CITY OF VALDOSTA CASES,
the county rezoning
before the Lowndes County Commission
today,

REZ-2019-04 Southeastern Freight Line
,
was

reviewed by the Planning Commission last month
:


The TRC considered this request. Zoning found this request
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. There were no other
objectionable comments.

Staff found

the request overall consistent with the Goals and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, however, inconsistent with the
Character Area Map and offers the following condition: The use of
the property shall be limited to the principal use of a terminal for
freight by truck and accessory uses incidental and subordinate to
such a facility.

The GLPC heard this request at their February regular meeting and
recommended for its approval with the condition offered by Staff by
a 7-0 vote. For reference, the applicant’s agent was present to
answer any questions and no one spoke against the request at the
public hearing.

I would like to commend Lowndes County for the website redesign.
The new image at the top now looks like a respectable government,
with pine trees subtly illustrating the region,
instead of the old advertisement for four-wheelers.
Plus it loads in less than an eon, so we can get to the useful links
such as to agendas.

Here is

last month’s GLPC agenda
