\r\nACTION REQUESTED 0N: REZ-2016-06 Lowndes County CAC, Skipper Bridge Rd\r\n
\r\n\r\nR\u2014A to O1, Well and County Sewer, ~1 acre<\/span>\r\n

\r\nHISTORY, FACTS AND ISSUES:\r\n

\r\nThis case represents a change in zoning on ~1 acre property from\r\nResidential Agricultural (R-A) zoning to Office Institutional (OI)\r\nzoning. The main motivation behind the request is to allow for the\r\nrelocation of the Lowndes County Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC)1<\/sup><\/small>. \r\nFor reference, in 2015 the CAC in partnership with the LCBOC was\r\nawarded a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) related\r\nto the subject property. Ultimately, the CAC’s current plans are to\r\nrelocate from their existing main office in the VSU area to a newly\r\nconstructed facility on the subject property. In order to finalize\r\nplans for the development and construction of the new facility a\r\nrezoning is needed to allow for the proposed use. The subject\r\nproperty possesses road frontage on Skipper Bridge Rd and Stafford\r\nWright Rd, This section of Skipper Bridge Rd is classified as a\r\ncounty maintained major collector2<\/sup><\/small>.\r\nTypical traffic flow capacity of\r\na major collector road is between 3,000 to 6,000 AADT3<\/sup><\/small>.\r\nStafford\r\nWright Rd is currently classified as a county maintained unimproved\r\nlocal road. Typical traffic flow capacity of a local road is between\r\n750 to 1,500 AADT. It should be noted that plans are currently\r\nunderway to pave Stafford Wright Rd within the next 12-18 months.\r\nConcerning the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Development Map the\r\nsubject property is within the Urban Service Area and a Suburban\r\nArea Character Area. Per Comprehensive Plan guidance 01 zoning is\r\nlisted as a permitted zoning district within a Suburban Area\r\nCharacter Area. With this request the following factors should be\r\nconsidered: 1) The precedent set for other properties in the\r\nsurrounding area with the approval of OI zoning, 2) The potential\r\nfor commercial\/institutional development to the south, 3) The\r\nlocation of the subject property at an intersection and 4) The\r\npotential effects on the residence to the north (~250′ away from the\r\nproposed northern property line).\r\n<\/p>\r\n

1<\/sup><\/small> http:\/\/caclowndes.org\/\r\n

2<\/sup><\/small> Road classifications are determined by the Lowndes County Thoroughfare Plan.\r\n

3<\/sup><\/small> Per GDOT definition the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is the average number of Vehicles that pass by a counter during a 24-hour period in a certain year.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
