RAPID GROWTH CONCERNS
Facing continued rapid growth, the trend of zoning referendums in unzoned areas of the county around Fairhope continues with the county commission's approval of boundaries for a proposed new district 38, generally to run just west of Greeno Road beginning at CR 32 ... and then south of Highway 98 all the way to Week's Bay (see above map).
A group of Barnwell-area residents led by CR 3 resident Lisa Atchley initiated the effort; 10% of registered voters there must sign a petition to the judge of probate in favor, then a voter referendum will be set for later in the year. If approved by voters, a five person committee will then be appointed to develop the new zoning map.
This one would be the fourth new county zoning district in the area since 2020 when district 19 was overwhelmingly approved by Pt. Clear-area voters. Districts 37 and 8 followed earlier this year and are now awaiting final approval/enactment by the county commission.
The organizing group cited "preserving existing agricultural and equestrian uses" as reasons for wanting zoning.
