They are 8. to rezone, 9. to approve a planned development, and 10. to annex the property into the City of Hahira.
It’s that middle item that staff recommends further steps for: Continue reading →

All four cases got recommendations from the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC)
for approval by the Valdosta Mayor and Council.
However, all but the first and last were on split votes, and the last had one Commissioner recuse himself.
It took the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC)
about an hour to consider the Valdosta and Lowndes County rezonings.
Each case had quite a few citizen speakers and much Commissioner discussion.
