Here is the agenda.

The board packet materials are on the LAKE website, with images of each page below.

Except Lowndes County did not send the Minutes of the previous GLPC meeting. I will remind them.

We do not yet have the packet materials for the Lake Park case, because we had the wrong address for the Lake Park planner. I’ve now sent a request.

Update 2025-08-08: Packet: 2 small rezonings, Comprehensive Plan, USGS Gauges, GDOT for Shiloh Road, Civic Center Hurricane Repair @ LCC 2025-08-11.

The Greater Lowndes Planning Commissioners unanimously recommended approval of all the items before them, some with staff-recommended conditions.

Including the Valdosta Land Development Regulations (LDR), which Valdosta still has GLPC review, even though Lowndes County no longer has GLPC review for its Unified Land Development Code (ULDC).

But see Gretchen’s comments on 6. REZ-2025-13 ENCC.

Crossroads Baptist Church wants to expand at 3001 Country Club Drive and the City of Valdosta is entertaining some LDR text amendments.

The two Lowndes County rezonings are both to bring their properties into conformity or compliance.

These are on the agenda for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) this evening.

Videos: Loch Laurel Road subdivision tabled; Pine Grove Road townhouses passed; TIA Orr Road Extension @ LCC Regular 2024-09-10

Update 2024-09-29: One Lowndes County Case, six Valdosta cases @ GLPC 2024-09-30.

They tabled the Loch Winn Farms subdivision until it could be heard by the Planning Commission.

But they passed the Pine Grove Road Townhouses, without any Planning Commission review.

I guess the Planning Commission doesn’t matter if it’s in the Lowndes County Commission’s preferred development corridor in what staff call Central Lowndes County. Also, nobody spoke against, and Jack Langdale spoke for.

Commissioner Demarcus Marshall asked for a timeline for 6.a. Orr Road Extension, P.I. 0016273 TIA Project Agreement. Answer from County Engineering Services Director Chad McLeod: late 2025 bid process.

One citizen spoke: William Cary, about plastic recycling, saying Waste Management will no longer pick up plastic.
