As a result of docketing, the county Planning Department will launch an environmental review of the UGA request, and may review the potential use of the property for a bottling operation. The city has agreed to provide Tethys as much as five-million gallons of water a day for their plant.
Once the environmental review is complete, the UGA request will go to the county Planning Commission to vote on, after which the request would end up back at the County Commissioners.
In April, the County Commissioners heard from dozens of people during a public hearing, most of whom oppose the bottling plant and the UGA request.
