Planning and Zoning Committee Meeting 8.25.26

The Planning and Zoning Committee of the City Council met on August 25, 2026, to discuss updates to the southern area rezoning map, specifically changing two areas from multi-family (D5) to single-family residential (D3) zoning in the Forest Park neighborhood. The committee reviewed concerns from the community regarding historic condo buildings and legal non-conforming structures, ultimately supporting the neighborhood's preference to maintain single-family zoning to protect existing structures. The meeting also included the appointment of Ezra Lee to the Design Review Board for a three-year term. Additionally, staff provided updates on upcoming public hearings for rezoning plans in Prattville and the Southern area, noting previous advertising oversights and steps to ensure proper notification going forward. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
