Food Pantries 2022-09-18

Jane Fleming Osborn advises:

Food pantries (outdoor boxes attached to buildings or freestanding
in an agency/business yard) in this area are up to fourteen.

If you have been blessed, consider refilling the shelves with non
perishable foods, personal hygiene items and toiletries to help
people experiencing homelessness.

But the main topic, with a Public Hearing, is food trucks.
That Zoning Text Amendment didn’t fare very well with
the Planning Commission Monday.
But of course GLPC is only advisory, and Hahira can decide whatever it wants.
Expect at least the same speakers tonight as you can see in the

LAKE videos of that Planning Commission meeting
.

Thanks to Hahira City Clerk Lisa Mashburn for Continue reading

Videos: Senior living, pool, Hahira food trucks @ GLPC 2018-04-30

Yes, it was food trucks Hahira wants

to change in its Zoning Ordinance
,
and that was the long item, at 42 minutes in Monday’s Planning Commission
meeting.
Neighbors Barry Robinson and Gretchen Quarterman spoke about it at the
Planning Commission,
as did the food truck owner,
and I bet on all of them being at the
Hahira City Council tonight, especially given that the Planning Commission recommendation was not favorable.


The Planning Commission spent less than 18 minutes on the

two rezonings

for

a senior living residential housing complex
in Valdosta.
The request for

a Planned Development on Gornto Road
took about as long.

Below are Continue reading

,
and

two rezonings

for

a senior living residential housing complex
which would
have access on Ashley Street, Emory Street, and University Drive,
