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.
