Update 2025-02-10<\/strong>:\r\nPacket: 4 Lowndes County rezonings @ GLPC 2025-01-27<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThe most contentious item at the recent GLPC meeting,\r\nat almost half an hour,\r\nwas\r\n\r\n8. CU-2025-02 Perma-Fix of South Georgia 1612 James P Rodgers Circle<\/a>.\r\nSeveral people spoke against it, including\r\nGretchen Quarterman at 14 minutes<\/a>.\r\nThe Planning Commissioners voted 4:5 to recommend denying that Conditional Use application,\r\nbut then they voted 5:4 to recommend approving.\r\n

\r\nThe Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) merely advises.\r\nThe actual decision will be at the \r\nThursday, February 6, Valdosta City Council (VCC) meeting.\r\nValdosta has no agenda posted yet for that meeting:\r\n
\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.valdostacity.com\/city-council\/agendas-minutes<\/a>\r\n

\r\nLAKE has sent in an open records request for the VCC board packet.\r\n

\r\nAnother long Valdosta City case was\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n9. VA-2025-01 James Warren (202 Denmark Street) Rezone 0.73 acres from R-6 to C-C<\/a>.\r\nThe Commissioners unanimously recommended approval.\r\n

\r\nThe two parts of the Hahira case took a while due to being complicated:\r\n\r\n12. \/13 Lemaka Holdings<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nTwo county cases also took a long time:\r\n\r\n3. REZ-2025-01 Hurtado Property, Bethany Drive ~6.4 acres R-A to R-1<\/a>,\r\nwhere there were already flooding concerns from previous development.\r\nOnly the property owner spoke for.\r\nSeveral citizens spoke against.\r\nEight Planning Commissioners voted to recommend denial; Franklin Bailey voted against the motion.\r\n

\r\nAnd\r\n\r\n6. REZ-2025-04: River Run Farm, 6490 River Run, Naylor, Ga ,27.12 ac. C-C to R-21<\/a>, near the Alapaha River,\r\nwhich got a recommendation to approva with a condition of only 9 lots,\r\non a split vote which may have been 7:2; it was difficult to see or hear.\r\n

\r\nThe county cases will be decided by the Lowndes County Commission on Tuesday, February 11.\r\n

\r\nAll the other cases got unanimous recommendations of approval from GLPC.\r\n

\r\nBelow are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,\r\nwith a few notes by Gretchen Quarterman,\r\nfollowed by a LAKE video playlist.\r\n

\r\nSee also\r\nthe agenda<\/a> and the\r\nboard packet materials<\/a> for the Valdosta and Hahira cases.\r\n

\r\nLAKE is still waiting for Lowndes County to send the board packet materials\r\nfor those county cases, after LAKE sent the request on January 27.\r\n
