Preliminary Plat: Batts Retreat Plat #1 Location: Ridge Trail Petitioner: Rachael & Josh Batts This item was held at the previous meeting and sent to committee for further review. Chairman Smith provided the report from the committee meeting stating that subdividing the property would meet the qualifications of the zoning district and meets the subdivision regulations. Mayor Gillespie stated that he could not support the subdividing of the lots because the flag shape lot being created and the use intended for the existing neighborhood was for 5 acre or larger lots, and referenced the subdivision regulations, Article V, Section F (1), which states that lot sizes should adhere to the type of development or use intended. Chairman Smith stated that flag shaped lots are not prohibited in the subdivision regulations. Mrs. Carpenter stated that as a member of the subcommittee for the Batts property she is not in favor of flag lots because it would set a precedent that she is not comfortable setting. After their discussion, the vote was called. The motion to approve failed for a lack of six affirmative votes as recorded. Favor: Mr. Jackson, Councilman Cables, Mr. Hayden, and Chairman Smith. Oppose: Mrs. Carpenter, Mr. Gardner, and Mayor Gillespie. Mr. Gardner stated that in past proposals of flag lots the Planning Commission has denied approval and he could not support approval of the proposed flag lot on Batts property. 2.

He stated that the proposed lot is less than 4 acres and is located south of the current Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions building. Mr. Stephens presented the staff report of the preliminary plat of Center 4 Pain Plat 1. He stated that the property is zoned B-2 for general business. He stated that the property is near a stub from Medical Center Drive to the rear and the city would like to see future connections to Tyner Trail, and that any future subdivision of this existing land would need a sketch or master plan. Chairman Smith opened the floor for public comments. There being none, the public hearing was closed. Mr. McBrayer addressed the future connections that they hope to implement. Mr. Jackson introduced a resolution recommending the approval of the preliminary plat of Center 4 Pain Plat 1 and moved for its approval. Mr. Gardner seconded the motion. The vote was called.

Zoning Amendment: R-2 (Single Family Residential) to B-2 (General Business) Location: Highway 82 and Washington Ferry Road and Johnson Street Petitioner: W. T. Stanfield William Terry Stanfield, 138 Pierce Lane, petitioner, presented the rezoning request of property located on Highway 82 and Washington Ferry Road, near Johnson Street. He stated that the 2.7 acre lot would be developed for restaurant use. Chairman Smith opened the floor for public comments. There being none, the public hearing was closed. He stated that he had reservations about rezoning the property to B-2 without a potential sketch plan to show the proposed use of the property. Mr. Gardner introduced a resolution recommending the rezoning of the Stanfield property on Highway 82 and Washington Ferry Road and Johnson Street and moved for its approval. Mrs. Carpenter seconded the motion. Mr. Stephens provided the staff report for the proposed rezoning request. He stated that in November 2019 the property on the south side was similarly requested for a zoning amendment to B-2, but the council approved the rezone to B-1. He stated that the majority of the tract has frontage along US HWY 82. As an Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) maintained highway corridor, controlled access points allow for no future ingress/egress connections other than the existing access points currently placed. He stated that the petitioner has submitted a site survey indicating the potential purchase of right-of-way from ALDOT at the NE corner of the parcel at the Robinson Street & Washington Ferry Road intersection. After right-of-way Approved 8/20/20 Prattville Planning Commission July 16, 2020 Minutes Page 3 of 3 improvement are made, access to this parcel would be inadequate for commercial use to existing gravel city streets, Robinson Street at the north & Johnson Street to the west. After their discussion, the vote was called. Mrs. Carpenter moved to amend the rezoning request to B-1. Councilman Cables seconded the motion. The motion to amend passed unanimously. After no further discussion, the vote was called. The amended motion to approve passed unanimously. 6.

After no further discussion, the vote was called. The motion to approve passed unanimously. Miscellaneous Business: Chairman Smith stated that the Commission needs to address the issues of concern with flag shaped lots and better define the direction they want to go in dealing with them. Mr. Stephens presented the Commission information regarding how the county and other surrounding counties and municipalities address flag lots. He stated that at the discretion of the Chairman, to form a committee to address flag shape lot or the staff can gather and prepare the information for review at the next meeting. Chairman Smith left it to the staff to prepare the information for the Commission to review at the next meeting. Mr. Stephens also presented to the Commission an excerpt of the 2015 International Fire Code as adopted by the City of Prattville. He stated that Section D107 deals with the number and distances of required access roads for residential developments. He stated that this is a good concept and asked that the Commission give consideration to either adopting this section as part of the subdivision regulations or some language that will address access roads. Chairman Smith asked that the staff would prepare this information for review by the Commission at the next meeting.

BACKGROUND Case No. ZN 2020-03 Applicant/ Owner: William Terry Stanfield Representative: Same as above Property Location: US Highway 82, surrounded by Washington Ferry Road, Robinson Street, and Johnson Street Property Identification Number: Autauga County: 19052130000120000 Property Size: 2.7+/- acres Current Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Designation: Low-Density Residential Current Zoning District: R-2 (Single Family Residential) Requested Zoning District: B-2 (General Business) Existing Land Use: Undeveloped / Vacant Land Rezoning W.T. Stanfield Property CitizenServe #20-000630 ZMA20-000002 Page 2 of 4 B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS & HISTORY Previous Requests/Approval: No previous action C. ANALYSIS: Proposed Use: The applicant is requesting a zoning designation of B-2 (General Business). The applicant has stated that this request is being made for a restaurant. No details were given on specifics of the restaurant including ingress/egress, general location, and footprint of proposed building area. Street Connectivity: No new access points are proposed within the submitted survey exhibit in support of this rezoning. The majority of the tract has frontage along US HWY 82. As an Alabama Department of Transportation maintained highway corridor, controlled access points allow for no future ingress/egress connections other than the existing access point’s currently placed, if any. A submitted survey in support of this rezone indicate a portion of the property located at the NW corner of Washington Ferry Rd & US Hwy 82 as being acquired for future state right-of-way in anticipation for improvements to US HWY 82. A portion of right-of-way is also indicated as being acquired nearest to the property line along Washington Ferry Road to the intersection of Washington Ferry Road & Robinson Street (an unimproved city street) located at the NE corner of the parcel (see staff comments).

Stanfield Property CitizenServe #20-000630 ZMA20-000002 Page 3 of 4 Water/ Sewer: The proposed site can be accessed by an existing sanitary sewer line located parallel to the east side of Washington Ferry Road. Access to this sewer line would require coordination underneath the existing road right-of-way as the property is located on the west side of Washington Ferry Road. Furthermore, there is no direct sewer line access along US HWY 82, and near the Jensen Road & US HWY 82 intersections. Water is available on site. Differences between R-2 (Single-Family Residential) and B-2 (General Business). R-2, Single-Family Residential District: Permitted uses within the R-2 zoning district include the following:  Single-Family Residential Dwellings USES PERMITTED: Single-family dwellings. (See: regulations common to all MINIMUM YARD SIZE: Front Yard: 35 feet; Rear Yard: 40 feet; Side Yard: 10 feet. MINIMUM LOT SIZE: Area in Square Feet: 10,500; Width at building line: 75 feet. MAXIMUM HEIGHT: 35 feet; 2½ stories. MAXIMUM BUILDING AREA PERCENT: 25% OFF STREET PARKING CAR SPACES: One. B-2, General Business District: Permitted uses within the B-2 zoning district include the following:  Motel or Hotel  Restaurants  Filling stations  Major auto repair  Shopping Center/Retail  Offices Rezoning W.T. Stanfield Property CitizenServe #20-000630 ZMA20-000002 Page 4 of 4 D. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/STAFF COMMENTS: The subject site has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Low-Density Residential. This 2.7 acre section of property located at the NW corner of US HWY 82 & Washington Ferry Road has an estimated 100 +/- feet of no access right-of-way from the north edge of US HWY 82 to the south property line. This tract has multiple road frontages with Robinson Street at the north, Johnson Street at the west, and Washington Ferry Road at the east. Note that the petitioner has submitted a site survey indicating the potential purchase of right- of-way from ALDOT at the NE corner of the parcel at the Robinson Street & Washington Ferry Road intersection. After right-of-way improvement are made, access to this parcel would be inadequate to existing gravel city streets, Robinson Street at the north & Johnson Street to the west. This subject site has a future land use classification of Low Density Residential as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Low density residential refers to single family homes on single lots, usually at least one-sixth of an acre or larger. In most cases, single-family residential districts will abut other single-family district land uses and greenspace. Rezoning this property from R-2 (Single-Family Residential) to B-2 (General Business) would be contrary to consistency in following with the Comprehensive Plan. This changing of land-use intensity for business would create a commercial node along gravel city streets that is intended for access to existing single-family dwellings therefore, the basic infrastructure needs of this location and residential future land use classification do not support this rezoning request of B-2 (General Business) for the 2.7 acre tract. PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner Site Visits Conducted: July, 2020 Recommendation: Denial. This proposed rezoning does not meet the Future Land Use Classification of the Comprehensive Plan, as this guiding growth policy recommends a Low-Density Residential future land classification for the subject property. The rezoning of these parcels to B-2 (General Business) would be inconsistent with this guiding principle in following with the Comprehensive Plan. It shall be noted that the applicant has stated that is of the intention to rezone said property for a proposed restaurant.
