B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS & HISTORY
Previous Requests/Approval: 3/7/2006: Rezoned by Council from FAR to B-2
7/2/2019: Rezoned by Council from B-2 to R-4
A developer, on behalf of the property owner, appeared before the Planning Commission at its
4/19/2019 meeting requesting the rezoning from B-2 to R-4. His stated intention was to rezone
the eastern 30+/- acres to R-4 and leave two outparcels along Old Farm as B-2. During the
meeting, it was presented that plans were for approximately 180 units. The Commission voted to
recommend the rezoning to R-4, however the submitted legal description and map included the
entire 38+/- acre parcel to be included in the R-4 request. The ordinance presented to the
Council included the legal description of the whole parcel, and was voted on and approved to
rezone to R-4 at the 7/2/2019 Council meeting.
At the 8/15/2019 Commission meeting, a preliminary plat was presented to the Commission that
would subdivide the 38+/- acre parcel into three parcels (two parcels along Old Farm Lane and
one 30+/- acre parcel for the proposed apartments). It was stated that the intention was to request
rezoning of the two Old Farm Ln lots to be rezoned back to B-2. The Commission voted to
approve the plat. No further rezoning requests for this property have been received.

Transitional.
CITY OF PRATTVILLE
Planning Department Staff Report
Rezoning
Page 4
On January 21, 2010, the Planning Commission adopted an updated Prattville Comprehensive Plan.
The Future Land Use Plan and Map in Section 2.2 of the document shows the subject parcel as
“Mixed-Use Transitional”.
Mixed-Use Transitional is “designed specifically to support a broad range of redevelopment types
while limiting additional retail that might soften the existing market,” and “is geared towards
creating a model of development and redevelopment that augments and supports the existing retail
corridor on Cobbs Ford Road.” Suggested uses are “office, housing (of a variety of densities),
hospitality, institutional, light industrial, flex office and greenspace, among others. Retail might be
accommodated, but at a very limited scale, and of a purely local-serving variety.”
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Scott Stephens, City Planner
Site Visits Conducted: January 2021
Recommendation: Approval with Conditions. Staff recommendation is to rezone
Lot A and Lot B to B-2 which will allow uses to support the retail
corridor. Allow Lot C to remain R-4 or consider rezoning to O-1
or B-1.

This developer proposes to subdivide approximately half of the approximately 50.9 acre parcel into an approximately

Road. Sketch does not show connectivity for future development to the North, South or East. Additionally, applicant
has proposed to rezone this portion of the property to R-3 Single Family Residential. The property is currently zoned
F.A.R and at this time, applicant proposes to keep eastern portion of property FAR.

D. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/STAFF COMMENTS:
The subject site is not part of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) because it was not incorporated at the
time of the current FLUM.
On January 21, 2010, the Planning Commission adopted an updated Prattville Comprehensive Plan. The
Future Land Use Plan and Map in Section 2.2 of the document shows the subject parcel as bordered by
“Mixed Use – Transitional” and “Commercial”. This land use is consistent with the surrounding
development and the surrounding FULM designation of Mixed-Use Transitional.
From Comprehensive Plan:
Mixed-Use Transitional. This is a very targeted land use category, designed specifically to support a
broad range of redevelopment types while limiting additional retail that might soften the existing market.
The two primary applications would be the Old Farm Lane corridor, and Home Place. The designation
is geared towards creating a model of development and redevelopment that augments and supports the
existing retail corridor on Cobbs Ford Road. Acceptable uses would include office, housing (of a variety
of densities), hospitality, institutional, light industrial, flex office and greenspace, among others. Retail
might be accommodated, but at a very limited scale, and of a purely local-serving variety.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner
Site Visits Conducted: February, 2021
Recommendation: Approve. This proposed rezoning meets the general fabric of the
area. R-3 residential is consistent with the intent of the Mixed-Use
Transitional FULM designation surrounding subject property. It
will not cause in adverse hardships on adjacent property owners.

Staff Comments:
This preliminary plat proposes to subdivide existing 1.89 acre parcel at the northwest corner of South Memorial Drive
and East Main Street into two parcels of 1.12 acres (Lot 1) and 0.77 acres (Lot 2). Currently lot 1 houses a vacant
former Rite-Aid building and parking lot. Lot 2 houses a multi-tenant strip shopping center and a financial institution
on the corner of the intersection. This preliminary plat proposes to separate the former Rite-Aid building from the
remainder of the strip shopping center and bank building. Proposed preliminary plat has been reviewed by City
departments and meets building, zoning, and fire standards.
