    \r\n

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

    \r\nThis case represents a change in zoning on a ~126 acre property from\r\nLow Density Residential (R-1) zoning to Suburban Density\r\nResidential (R-10) (~112.4 acres) and General Commercial (C-G) (13.7\r\nacres) zoning. The main motivation for the request is to allow for\r\nan increased residential density on the residential portion of the\r\nproperty and for speculative commercial marketing on the commercial\r\nportion of the property. For reference, a comparison chart of the\r\nvarious zoning districts and most of their allowable uses has been\r\nattached. The subject properties possess road frontage on multiple\r\nstreets: Marion Avenue (US Hwy 41), 4-H Club Road, and Long Pond\r\nRoad, Marion Avenue (US Hwy 41) is classified as a state maintained\r\narterial1<\/a><\/sup><\/small>\r\nor collector2<\/a><\/sup><\/small>.\r\nBoth 4-H Club and Long Pond are\r\nclassified as local roads3<\/a><\/sup><\/small>.\r\nWhile the dominant majority of the\r\nsubject properties are within the unincorporated area of Lowndes\r\nCounty, a large portion of the roads that access the properties are\r\nwithin the City of Lake Park and under the jurisdiction of GDOT.\r\nConcerning the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Character Area Map, the\r\nsubject property is within the Suburban Area Character Area and is\r\nalso within the Urban Service Area. Per Comprehensive Plan guidance,\r\nR—10<\/a><\/sup><\/small> zoning and\r\nC-G zoning are both listed as permitted zonings within a Suburban\r\nArea. The following factors should be considered in this case: the\r\nadjacent City and County R\u00bb10 zoning, the adjacent lot sizes, the\r\nadjacent Lake Park City limits, the presence of County Water and\r\nSewer services, the presence of Lake Park Water services, the\r\ncomparable size of the proposed commercial acreage4<\/a><\/sup><\/small>,\r\n the potential\r\ninvestment in improvement of the subject property, the potential\r\nimpacts onto the adjacent roadways and services in the area5<\/a><\/sup><\/small>,\r\nthe\r\nprotected water resources affecting the subject properties (~12\r\nacres of Wetlands and the presence of the Medium Recharge Area), the\r\nfact that once the type and scale of the development are further\r\nspecified that a Georgia Department of Community Affairs Development\r\nof Regional Impact (DRI) may be triggered6<\/a><\/sup><\/small>,\r\nand that if approved, a traffic study will be required when\r\nconstruction plans are turned into Lowndes\r\nCounty Engineering.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

    1<\/a><\/sup><\/small> Road classifications are determined by the Lowndes County Thoroughfare Plan. Typical traffic flow capacity of an arterial\r\n

    \r\nis in excess of 6,000 AADT. Per GDOT definition the Annual Average\r\nDaily Traffic (AADT) is the average number of vehicles that pass by\r\na counter during a 24-hour period in a certain year.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

    2<\/a><\/sup><\/small> Typical traffic flow capacity of a collector is between 1,500 and 6,000 AADT.\r\n

    3<\/a><\/sup><\/small> Typical traffic flow capacity of a local road is less than 1,500 AADT.\r\n

    4<\/a><\/sup><\/small> 13.7 acres of commercial zoning is similar in size to the Camping World footprint (~12.8 acres), Sam’s Club footprint\r\n(~14 acres), or just over 1\/2 of the Lake Park Outlets footprint\r\n(~23.3 acres).\r\n<\/p>\r\n

    5<\/a><\/sup><\/small> Preliminary estimates on the potential expected residential development density of the subject property are estimated at\r\nbetween 300-337 single-family lots.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

    6<\/a><\/sup><\/small> Should this request be approved, please plan on additional time before the planing process and the additional information\r\nneeded for the completion ofthe Part 1\r\nand Part 2\r\nDRI Forms\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.dca.state,0a.us\/DRI\/<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

    \r\nThe TRC reviewed this application and recommended\/noted the\r\nfollowing:\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\nRecommended\r\nConditions with\r\n(Source)\r\n<\/th>\r\n1. All lots shall front interior roads. (Engineering)\r\n
    \r\nOther Comments\r\nwith (Source)\r\n<\/th>\r\n Planning found this request overall consistent with the\r\n Comprehensive Plan.\r\n<\/table>\r\n

    \r\nAt the August regular GLPC meeting the Planning Commissioners\r\nultimately recommended to table the request for 1 month (Until the\r\nSeptember GLPC Meeting) by a 4-3 vote. Planning Commissioners\r\nFolsom, Rountree, and Sandlin voted against the motion, During the\r\npublic hearing portion of the request the applicant and the property\r\nowner spoke for it and 6 people spoke against it.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

    \r\nSince the last GLPC meeting two major updates are worth noting\r\n

    \r\nOne,\r\nwith the impacts of Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Irma the initially\r\nscheduled LCBOC public hearing for the case on September 12th was\r\ncancelled and rescheduled for September 26th.\r\n

    \r\n Two, after the GLPC\r\nmeeting, conversations between the agent, property owner(s),\r\nconcerned parties, and County leadership continued about the various\r\nquestions, benefits, and issues surrounding this case Ultimately,\r\none of the results of those communications are the below 5 proposed\r\nconditions For reference, should the below conditions be utilized,\r\nplease note that as of the date of this coversheet the property\r\nowner(s) have agreed to them,\r\n

    \r\nProposed Conditions (County Leadership and AgenUProperty Owner(s))\r\n<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    1. All lots shall front interior roads.\r\n
    2. The minimum lot size shall be 14,520 sqft (This lot size\r\nequates to 3 lots per acre or 1\/3 acre lots)\r\n
    3. Manufactured homes or mobile homes are not allowed.\r\n
    4. Two-family dwellings or duplexes are not allowed\r\n
    5. The 13.7 acre tract proposed to be rezoned to General\r\nCommercial (C-G) zoning will instead be rezoned to Suburban Density\r\nResidential (R-lO) with the above 4 conditions.\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
