New Zoning Advisory Committees Appointed By County

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

Districts 8 and 37.

TO DEVELOP ZONING MAPS

According to Alabama code Section 45-2-261-08, the county commission appointed advisory committees for new planning districts 8 and 37 where zoning referendums were successful on February 15th.

Clarice Hall-Black, Vickie Graham, Mike McKenzie, Owen Edwards and Gary Wolfe were appointed to the district 8 committee.

Elizabeth Wilson, Gina Todia, Rebecca Teel, Leslie Stejskal, and William Eringman for district 37.

Meetings will be at the Fairhope Satellite Courthouse beginning later this month and last until the new zoning ordinances are adopted for the districts by the county commission.

The applicable law also appoints members of the adjacent municipality's planning commission to the advisory committees as ex officio members (non voting). That has not yet been done, as far as we know.

Section 45-2-261.08 Appointment of advisory committees.

In each district wherein the qualified electors vote to become subject to the planning and zoning authority of the Baldwin County Commission as provided in Section 45-2-261.07, the Baldwin County Commission shall appoint an advisory committee from that district to work with and assist the planning commission in formulating and developing regulations, ordinances, and zoning measures for the district. Each advisory committee shall consist of five members who shall be qualified electors of the district and who shall reflect as nearly as practical the diversity of land use in a district. The members of each district advisory committee shall elect a chair. Upon the adoption of zoning ordinances and regulations for the district by the Baldwin County Commission pursuant to the terms of this subpart, the services of the district advisory committee shall terminate and the committee shall be abolished. In any district which is contiguous to one or more municipalities, a member of the municipal planning commission of each contiguous municipality shall serve in an ex officio capacity on the advisory committee.
