# Homewood Planning Commission Meeting - October 6, 2026

The City of Homewood Planning Commission met on October 6, 2026. The commission approved a resurvey creating two lots at 215 West Valley Avenue; the applicant described a possible small restaurant, but development plans were not part of the decision. Staff and commissioners noted unresolved sign compliance issues at the property, including an unpermitted sign and a damaged sign, which must be addressed before subsequent permitting. The commission also approved a resurvey at 117 Morris Boulevard, incorporating portions of a vacated alley into adjoining lots while retaining a utility easement; the vote was 5–0.

For 4832 Green Springs Highway, the commission considered changes to conditions on the property, including reducing the required buffer from 20 feet to the standard 10-foot landscaped buffer and allowing full vehicle access onto Raleigh Avenue. The buffer change passed 6–0. The full-access change received a split vote and did not pass. Discussion focused on traffic, pedestrian safety, neighborhood impacts, and a proposed Dutch Bros drive-through; the applicant cited a traffic study estimating 65 trips during the 7–9 a.m. peak period and described a proposed sidewalk. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
