Petitioner: Horace W. Powell
Mr. Brass presented the zoning amendment request of the petitioner to rezone property at 918 Gaddis

stated that he does not plan to put a business on the site, it will be used for rear access to his current
adjacent business.

done extensive improvements to their property which is currently rental property with the same tenant

approved by City Council, resubmission of an entirely new plat with a different zoning designation
would have to be reviewed.
Chairman Smith opened the floor for public comments.
Gerald Cimis, 141 N. Chestnut Street, spoke in opposition to the request stating that Code requires a
preliminary plat to be in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance, but zoning has not been established
yet. (Comments attached).

Water/ Sewer: The proposed site is serviced by existing water mains & can
be serviced by a sanitary sewer line.
Staff Comments:
This proposed rezoning is not reflective of the Comprehensive Plan goal of maintaining established
residential districts. The future land use map for this property recommends a low-density
residential classification that is cohesive to the existing site conditions. At present, this site consists
of a single-family residential dwelling on a minor residential street. It shall be noted that this
property is directly adjacent to a B-2 zoning district to the south and west. However, there is sharp
contrast in site conditions of the adjacent commercial properties. For example, the B-2 zoning
district to the west and south take frontage and access from US 31/Memorial Drive & Main Street.
Both of these corridors serve as major arterial streets and have site characteristics of commercial
strip development. In all, the intensity of rezoning this parcel from R-2 to B-2 would diminish the
value and character of an established residential neighborhood, would not be appropriate for a
minor residential street, and is not reflective of the goals and future land use of the City of Prattville
Comprehensive Plan.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Austin Brass,
Senior Planner
Site Visits Conducted: July 2019
Recommendation: Denial, rezoning of 918 Gaddis Ave from R-2 to B-2 is not
reflective of the goals and future land use of the City of
Prattville Comprehensive Plan.

Water/ Sewer: The proposed site is serviced by existing water mains & can

Staff Comments:
This proposed preliminary plat consists of subdividing one 3.26 acre +/- lot into two lots. Lot 1 of
the proposed preliminary plat will contain 1.96 +/- acres. Lot 2 of the proposed preliminary plat
will contain 1.30 +/- acres. The current use of this lot serves as a used appliance retail shop that is
a permitted use by-right in a B-2 (General-Business) zoning district. With this proposal, lot 1 will
serve the existing appliance retail shop, and lot 2 will serve as a vacant parcel. As there are no
setbacks, minimum building lines, and minimum lot size requirements in a B-2 zoning district,
subdividing of these lots will not create a non-conforming parcel.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Austin Brass,

Site Visits Conducted: July 2019
Recommendation: Approval, subdividing of this property does not create a non-
conforming lot in a B-2 zoning district. Plat contingent upon

C. ANALYSIS:
Street Connectivity: No new access points off existing public streets are shown
in the preliminary plan. Access points are shown in phases
one & two coming off of Moses Road & Martin Luther King
Drive, with a stub out street at Powell lane for a future
connection. Access for this proposed phase will be from
phases one & two streets via Dawson’s Mill Blvd. &
Dawson’s Mill Lane.
Water/Sewer: The proposed site is serviced by existing water mains. A
sewer connection is proposed by an easement located at the
southwest section of Phase 3 allowing the development to
have access to sewer.
Staff Comments:
This proposed preliminary plat consist of a 13.68 acre site subdivided into 66 single-family
residential lots. This proposed preliminary plat is being reviewed under the R-5 zoning
classification for lot width, size, and building lines. As this property is not annexed into the city
limits of Prattville, the developer had requested a pre-zoning allowed by state statute before
annexation. As the Prattville City Council has final authority to approve annexations and rezoning,
this proposed preliminary plat is reviewed contingent to Council action on annexation and zoning.
Per the proposed plat, each lot will have a minimum width of 45’ with variation of lots ranging
