Highway 52 commercial rezone

The council finalized rezoning the corner of Highway 52 and Racquet Club Parkway to general commercial. Leaders stressed this isn't approval of any specific project — a gas station or anything else still needs separate votes, especially on how traffic gets in and out.

Harris Doyle Homes rezoning off State Park Road

A 247-acre tract near Oak Mountain State Park could become roughly 180 homes under PUD-R zoning. Councilmembers worry the lot sizes are too small, worry about what could be built there under existing zoning if the plan is denied, and want better coordination with the school system. A vote could come at the next meeting.
