Valdosta packet items @ GLPC 2015-11-30

Within hours in response to an open records request she took over the telephone,

Valdosta City Clerk Teresa Bolden sent PDF of the packet materials for the
six Valdosta items for tonight’s GLPC meeting, at no charge,
including all the maps.
See below those six Valdosta items linked into a copy of

agenda:

a

funeral home,
a

radio station,
a

church accessory,
a

community commercial rezoning,
an

amendment to a Planned Development,
and

City of Valdosta sign regulations changes.

The change to the

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant
remains invisible, because, since it’s in the

Lowndes County part of the agenda,
the City of Valdosta can’t divulge it.
The materials for the county

subdivision rezoning after the old US 41 N widening.
and the

Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments
are also linked into the agenda below.

MAZ, Tillman Crossing, Withlacoochee River WWTP, 7 * Valdosta @ GLPC 2015-11-30

An invisible change to Valdosta’s

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Already

a subdivision rezoning after the old US 41 N widening.
And still going in its third year, the

Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments,

with

updates last week,
including
the Chamber’s latest position,
all on top of
the previous updates.
Those are just the

Lowndes County cases on the

agenda tonight for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).

The six
Valdosta cases
include
a

funeral home,
a

radio station,
a

church accessory,
a

community commercial rezoning,
an

amendment to a Planned Development,
and

City of Valdosta sign regulations changes.

MAZ and Tillman Crossing Packet Updates @ GLPC Work 2015-11-23

Updates about Moody, Tillman Crossing, and the Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant,

for tonight’s Planning Commission meeting, received after last week’s GLPC Work Session.
I would post tonight’s GLPC agenda, but it’s not on the county’s website.

See the surprise addition in this update of

REZ-2015-20 City of Valdosta WWTP, about which details were not included: “The proposed site plan
is the same one that was presented to you with your paperwork last
night.”
So if you’re not a Planning Commissioner, you don’t get to see what the City of Valdosta is proposing for its new Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Another item is apparently known by several names: Continue reading →

Updated Packet for Moody Activitiy Zones (MAZ) @ GLPC Work 2015-11-23

Details of massive revisions to the proposal for changes to the Moody Activity Zoning Districts,

sent by County Planner Jason Davenport to the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) and the Lowndes County Commissioners on 11 November 2015,
in advance of the GLPC’s 23 November 2015 Work Session and 30 November 2015 Regular Session.
He copied LAKE due to an open records request from Gretchen Quarterman.
The whole thing is

on the LAKE website.

Especially interesting are two slides apparently intended to finally the question on everyone’s mind of which developers are these changes for?

Why are we here?

Lake Park dwelling in commercial zone, 4 Valdosta, 4 County @ GLPC 2015-09-28

I’d guess the Lake Park case will breeze through tonight.
The cases are more complicated, a couple with multiple parcels,
and the
Lowndes County cases are all big: 18-43 acres.
Here’s the

GLPC agenda
that appeared on the county’s website Friday without anybody having to ask!

Videos: 3 small rezonings: Dasher, Lowndes, Valdosta @ GLPC 2015-08-31

Vice-Chair Jody Hall presided,
sounding like he’d been practicing and it paid off at the 31 August 2015 Planning Commission meeting.

Nobody spoke for or against the

agricultural rezoning
in Lowndes County and the Planning Commission recommended it,
but it may be more controversial than it looks now that

the Lowndes County Commission agenda item and packet for Tuesday
indicates it’s apparently related to that

$16,915 the county agreed to pay to upgrade a water line near the
Lake Alapaha subdivision.

The owner spoke for the

automobile repair shop
in Dasher with nobody against,
and it was unanimously recommended.

Nobody spoke against

the office rezoning
in Valdosta. There was some Commissioner discussion of nearby neighborhoods.
It was recommended 6-2 for R-15.

Here’s

GLPC agenda,
with links the the LAKE videos below, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading →

3 small rezonings: Dasher, Lowndes, Valdosta @ GLPC 2015-08-31

An

automobile repair shop
in Dasher,
a

agricultural rezoning
in Lowndes County,
and

an office rezoning
in Valdosta, in
the

GLPC agenda
that appeared on the county’s website after Gretchen called to inquire.

Videos: MAZ tabled + 2 small rezonings @ GLPC 2015-07-27

Once County Planner Jason Davenport admitted the
MAZ ULDC text amendments
weren’t ready (as he had indicated might happen at the same morning’s

County Commission Work Session),
and the Planning Commission recommended tabling it 4:1,
the meeting was very brief, even with the

SGRC Transportation presentation (which they weirdly heard after
adjourning the meeting, even though it was on the agenda).
The

David Brown Melody Lane rezoning
and the

Ron Borders Bemiss Road rezoning
flew through to 5:0 unanimous recommendations, with three Planning
Commissioners absent.

The

county rezoning
isn’t on the County Commission agenda yet,
and they will probably table the ULDC
MAZ item at its meeting 5:30 PM tonight.

MAZ again + 2 small rezonings @ GLPC 2015-07-27

Planning Commission agenda is finally on county’s website

after this morning’s Lowndes County Commission Work Session,
which included

an item saying “The current public hearing/meeting timeline
is as follows: July 27th GLPC and July 28th LCBOC.”
Is it a public meeting if there’s no public agenda until a few hours before?

Yes, the notorious
TXT-2015-01 Moody Activity Zoning Districts (MAZ) ULDC text amendments
are back on

the GLPC agenda,
along with two small rezonings.
Plus
an SGRC Transportation presentation.

Videos: Moody MAZ, Agriculture, Church @ GLPC 2015-06-29

At a very well attended June 29th meeting,
the notorious

TXT-2015-01 Moody Activity Zoning Districts (MAZ) ULDC text amendments

got tabled again by the Planning Commission,
but the Lowndes County Commission could take them up anyway at their
meeting a month later.
The Valdosta-Lowndes Chamber of Commerce did oppose these changes in person
(both their President and Chairman)
after

voting a resolution of opposition.
Meanwhile, LAKE has laid out the board packet item from last time so you can get an idea of what’s going on and why, including links to the LAKE videos of the previous GLPC and Lowndes County Commission meetings where these MAZ changes were discussed.
