Update 2025-05-19: Packet: Lowndes County materials @ GLPC 2025-05-19.

I suppose it’s a coincidence that two different requests for “a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a reinstated machine and welding shop in a Highway Commercial (C-H) zoning district” about two Valdosta blocks apart are on the agenda for Monday’s Planning Commission meeting.

There’s one Hahira case for “Special Exception for a financial institution in R-P zoning”.

And two Lowndes County cases, one for 10 acres from E-A to R-A, and the other for 1.9 acres from C-G to C-H.

Here is the agenda.

The board packet materials for the Valdosta and Hahira cases are on the LAKE website, because Valdosta and Hahira City Planner Matt Martin sent them.

The Lowndes County materials are not, because I miscalculated the date of the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) meeting as May 26 when it is actually May 19, so the LAKE open records request was scheduled to go out this Tuesday. I have sent an open records request to the county for the May 19 meeting. Meanwhile, the county already sent the minutes from the previous GLPC meeting, and those are on the LAKE website.
