Surprisingly the longest item on this (possibly) longest-ever Planning Commission agenda was

5. CU-2020-01 Verizon Wireless, conditional use cell tower at Country Club,
clocking in at almost an hour, accounting for almost a third of the more than three-hour meeting, and getting a denial recommendation on a split vote of 6:3:1.

Second longest at more than forty-two minutes was

6. CU-2020-02 Natalie Bailey, 4019 Forrest Run Circle – Halfway House,
resulting in a very unusual unanimous recommendation for denial.
The actual decision will be made at the
Valdosta City Council meeting tonight.

Usually church requests sail through, but

13. HA-2020-01 Providence Missionary Baptist Church, 707 West Park Street,
took more than sixteen minutes, largely to everyhone acting as a committee designing an access ramp which turned out to already be there.

Pete’s Otto had it pretty easy at nine minutes
Pete’s Otto was previously at GLPC
in
January 2017 about establishing its business,
and
at the Valdosta-Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA)
in
in July 2019 about setbacks.
