Point Clear Neighborhood To Seek County Zoning

Fairhope, Alabama

Area to be included in pink.

OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS

A new group has formed to request the county commission to permit a voter referendum to enact land use zoning in a neighborhood south of city limits currently within part of unincorporated, un-zoned county Planning District 17 (See enabling legislation below); if approved the new area will become Planning District 19.

The area is currently within Fairhope's extra-territorial planning jurisdiction: the city's planning commission hears subdivision requests only.

Tracy Frost is listed as the president of the Battles Road Preservation Group Llc.; attorney Adam Milam is the  agent.

Frost: "On behalf of a group of interested and concerned residents, I am respectfully informing the Commission of our plans to petition for the formation of a planning district based on Title 45, Chapter 2, Article 26, Part 2 and Subpart 1 of the Code of Alabama. Per our discussions with the county planning department, the proposed district boundaries would be outlined as shown on the attached map ... ."

The affected area is roughly south of Old Battles Road, north of CR 32, and west of CR 3 (not including bayfront areas in District 26 where zoning already exists); see the map a the top for exact boundaries.


PETITION NEXT STEP

The next step will be to identify and obtain signatures of at least 10% of registered voters living in the area; then a referendum date will be set by the Judge of Probate. 

Enabling legislation.
