\r\nThe agenda sheet<\/a> says “the applicant’s conceptual site plan is attached.”\r\nBut of course we the taxpaying, traffic-affected, and water-drinking public don’t get to see it.\r\n

\r\nWhy the Lowndes County Commission considering rezoning for a subdivision\r\nthat its own staff says doesn’t fit the Comprehensive Plan Character Area,\r\nis outside the Urban Service Area, would add significant traffic, and many neighbors spoke against it, plus the Planning Commission recommended denial?\r\nThe Commission tabled in October<\/a>, and again in November<\/a>, when\r\nCommissioners asked for an update, but now staff says, “There are no updates to the overall case status.”\r\n

\r\nIf they can’t deny this one, what rezoning can they ever deny?\r\n
