Blackshear City Council discussed and/or voted on the following during their monthly work session Tuesday, January 6 and regular meeting held Monday, January 12. The change of the regular meeting to Monday was previously announced.
Public hearing: The Blackshear City Council held a legally mandated public hearing to give citizens the opportunity to make statements for or against two different rezoning proposals.
The first rezoning request was filed by NGC Properties, wanting to rezone a 1 acre parcel on Grady Street from single family to multi-family for apartments. The second rezoning request was filed by Alison Byrd, wanting to rezone three parcels totaling slightly less than one acre from single family to multifamily, also for apartments. No one spoke either for or against the rezoning requests, which had both been previously recommended for approval by the Joint Planning Advisory Board. Both rezoning requests received their first reading during the following regular session of the council.
