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.

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.
