What this means now
The story
The City of Lavonia Planning & Zoning Commission took up an ordinance to repeal and replace several articles of the city's zoning ordinance, Chapter 102, covering zoning districts, district requirements, and permitted and prohibited uses, and to add new articles including light industrial and government zoning districts and definitions. The commission approved the ordinance on a motion by Laurie Whitworth, seconded by Pam Stone, with all members in favor.
The Lavonia City Council then placed the same zoning ordinance rewrite on its agenda. At a first reading and public hearing, the council approved the zoning ordinance amendments on a motion by Michael Shulman, seconded by Michael Schulman, with the motion carrying unanimously.
