Votes at a glance: Paulding County planning commission actions

The Paulding County Planning Commission took several formal actions at the meeting:

• Election of officers: Motion to table the election until the February meeting passed (motion by Mister Seale, second by Miss Fitzgerald). The transcript records the result as "5, 0, and 1." The item will return at the Feb. 24 meeting.

• Minutes: The commission moved to approve the minutes from the Dec. 25, 2025 meeting (motion by Mister Anderson). The transcript does not record a clear tally for this vote.

• Stanton Porter (Application 2026-01 SPSA): The commission tabled the request to remove stipulation number 7 (the ban on coin-operated amusement machines) so staff and the applicant can provide store operating hours and policy information on loitering. A motion to table carried; the transcript records the vote as "5 0 and 1." The item will return Feb. 24.

• Fitzpatrick rezoning (Application 2026-01-Z): Motion to approve was made by Mister Steele and seconded by Mister Wilkes; the commission approved the application. The transcript contains unclear tally language ("All in favor, 8 5 0 and 1"); official minutes should be consulted for the exact vote count.

• Adjournment: A motion to adjourn passed and the meeting was closed; the transcript records the adjournment vote as '5 0 1.'

Notes: Several votes in the audio transcript contain garbled or ambiguous numeric language. This summary reports motions and outcomes as recorded in the meeting audio; for official vote tallies and ordinance language consult the county's adopted minutes and staff files.
