APPENDIX A – ZONING 28
ARTICLE 6 – GENERAL PROVISIONS 29
Attachment A 30
The Zoning Ordinance of the City of Prattville is amended to read as follows: 31
Section 67. - Multifamily housing projects Development. 32
In the case of a multifamily housing project consisting of a group of two (2) or more 33
buildings to be constructed on a plot of ground of at least four (4) acres not subdivided 34
into the customary streets and lots and not to be so subdivided or where existing or 35
contemplated street and lot layout make it impracticable to apply the requirements of 36
this ordinance to the individual buildings in such housing projects, the application of such 37
requirements to such housing projects shall be done by the Board of Zoning Adjustment 38
with the advice of the Planning Commission, in a manner that will be in harmony with the 39
character of the neighborhood, will insure substantially the same character of occupancy, 40
a density of land use no higher and a standard of open space at least as high as required 41
by this ordinance in the district in which the proposed project is to be located, and will 42
provide layout design and public utilities in harmony with the general requirements and 43
minimum standards of design of the subdivision regulations of the municipality. 44
In no case shall the Board of Zoning Adjustment authorize a use or a building height or building 45
area prohibited in the district in which the housing project is to be located. 46
A. Multifamily developments with buildings containing five or more dwelling units are subject 47
to the following standards and to administrative site plan review to assure that the layout of 48
buildings, open spaces, circulation, drainage and infrastructure is in harmony with the 49
equivalent standards of the City Subdivision Regulations. 50
51
B. Definitions. For the purposes of this Section, the following terms are defined as 52
follows: 53
1. Articulation, articulated. Changes in the depth along the building façade 54
such as attached columns, wall recesses, horizontal banding, cornices, etc. 55
to provide depth and variety to the façade. 56
2. Fenestration, fenestrated. The pattern of window and door openings on a 1
façade. 2
3. Low Impact Design. A site planning and engineering design approach to 3
managing stormwater runoff that emphasizes conservation and use of natural 4
features, infiltration, and on-site storage and treatment involving landscape 5
elements integrated into the design of the site. This approach uses engineered 6
small- scale hydrologic controls to replicate predevelopment hydrology through 7
infiltrating filtering, storing, evaporating, and detaining runoff close to its source. 8
4. Open Space, Improved. Open space that has been created or modified, 9
including but not limited to parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, ball fields, 10
plazas, landscaped green-spaces. 11
5. Pervious pavement. Paving materials that allow water to penetrate into the 12
ground below, including concrete paving blocks, concrete grid pavers, 13
perforated brick pavers and similar paving materials. This shall not include 14
compacted gravel. 15
6. Rain garden. A planted depression or hole that allows stormwater runoff 16
from impervious surfaces to be absorbed into the ground. 17
7. Swale. An open, grassed or vegetated channel used to partially treat 18
stormwater, attenuate flooding potential and convey stormwater. 19
C. A Site Development Plan must provide for, at a minimum: 20
1. Convenient vehicular servicing of the buildings, satisfactory circulation of 21
traffic in the parking areas and appropriate access management. 22
2. A preliminary plan or engineering report providing for the site grading, storm 23
drainage, sanitary sewerage and water supply. 24
3. Suitable access points adjoining public streets serving the proposed 25
development, which must be properly illuminated to reduce traffic hazards. 26
4. Waste collection facilities must be provided and must be the 27
responsibility of the property owner or manager. 28
D. Site Development Standards 29
1. The arrangement of buildings, open spaces, parking areas and drives must be 30
suitable to existing topography to avoid extensive grading. 31
2. Barracks formations, in which buildings and parking areas are arranged and 32
concentrated in a dense, rectilinear pattern are discouraged. Where rectilinear 33
arrangements are proposed, courtyards or similar improved open spaces must 34
be integrated into the arrangement of buildings and parking areas. Multifamily 35
buildings may not be surrounded on all sides by parking and driveways. 36
3. Multifamily buildings must be oriented toward streets, interior drives and 37
improved open spaces, not adjacent properties. A multifamily building may be 38
aligned along a parking area provided it is also oriented toward a street, interior 39
drive or improved open-space. 40
(a) Building entrances must face and be clearly visible from streets, interior 41
drives or interior open space. This does not apply to entrances to individual 42
dwelling units. 43
(b) Building entrances must be accessible from the street, interior drive or open 44
space they face. 45
4. Building spacing. Buildings must be spaced no less than the sum of their 46
lengths divided by three ((A+B)/3), as shown in Figure 67-1. In no case may 47
buildings be placed closer together than 20 ft. Required building spacing is 48
measured perpendicularly from the longer of the two building walls at the 49
closest point between the two buildings. 50
51

ii. 1 space per bedroom for each unit of two or more bedrooms 6
iii. One visitor parking space per four units 7
iv. For age-restricted senior units, 1.25 spaces per one-bedroom unit and 2 8
spaces per unit of two or more bedrooms 9
(b) Minimum parking stall size shall be 9.5’ x 20’. The travel aisle or lane 10
between rows of 90° stalls shall be a minimum of 24’. Single lanes or angled 11
stalls with one-way aisles may be reduced a commensurate amount that will 12
still provide adequate travel and maneuvering area. 13
(c) Visitor parking requirements may be reduced when approved on-street 14
parking is available along the property frontage and by only the amount of 15
approved on-street parking spaces contained within the frontage of the 16
multifamily property. 17
(d) Off-street parking must be located to the side or rear of buildings, and may 18
not extend forward of the front building line. When located to the side of 19
buildings and adjacent to a public street, off-street parking areas may not 20
occupy more than 30% of each perimeter public street frontage. The 21
Director may waive these requirements when off-street parking is located 22
forward of the front building line on adjoining properties on both sides of the 23
multifamily site; however, these requirements may not be waived where the 24
site fronts on a local street or on the same frontage as an adjoining 25
detached single- family dwelling. 26

required by the City Building and Fire Codes and subject to review by the City 10
Engineer. 11
(h) Private drives that provide access from a public street to off-street parking 12
areas must comply with the dimensional standards in Table 67-1 below. Where 13
parallel parking is provided, each parking lane must be at least 7.5 ft wide 14
measured from face of curb. Trees, in accordance with the species and size 15
types in Section 149, Table 1, must be provided on both sides of the drive and 16

(a) At least 20% of the site must be permanently reserved as open space. All 22
common open spaces and recreational areas must be well maintained in a 23
safe and orderly condition. If any proposed structure has three residential 24
stories, then at least 25% of the site must be permanently reserved as open 25
space. 26
(b) At least 50% of the required open space must be improved and maintained 27
as open space for the use of residents and guests. Improved open spaces 28
should be consolidated into one or a few central locations to assure 29
accessibility and usability and must be oriented to receive adequate sunlight. 30
(c) Improved open space must be graded and sodded, at a minimum, to 31
accommodate use by residents, and must be adequately drained to prevent 32
ponding. 33
(d) Open space and recreational areas are counted toward the improved 34
open space requirement as follows: 35
i. Required setback areas do not count unless they otherwise meet the 36
standards of this Subsection. Spaces must be large enough to support 37
leisure and recreational activity; no dimension may be less than 15 ft. 38
ii. Gazebos, pavilions and similar open structures provided for the use of 1
residents are permitted in improved open spaces. 2
iii. Covered porches, decks, or patios may be counted toward no more than 25% 3
of the required open space. To qualify, such spaces must be at least 35 sf in 4
area with no dimension less than five feet. Such spaces may not be counted 5
when they are completely inset into the building; they must project at least two 6
feet beyond the wall plane. 7
(e) If one or more of the following amenities, or similar amenities as approved by 8
the Director, are provided, then the minimum overall open space required in (a) 9
above may be reduced by 4% (i.e. from 20% to 16% or 25% to 21%): 10
i. Tennis, volleyball or basketball court 11
ii. One or more areas improved for lawn bowling, shuffle board, pickle ball, 12
bocce ball or similar activity with a combined area of at least 1,600 sf 13

least 600 sf; each must be furnished with benches or other seating and at 19
least one structure must be furnished suitably for outdoor dining 20
v. Community garden of at least 1,600 sf 21
vi. Children’s playground area of at least 1,600 sf outfitted with swings, 22
slides and/or similar play equipment; seating must be provided in or 23
adjacent to the playground 24
The combined area of the proposed amenities must total at least 50% of the 25
improved open space requirement and must be maintained in accordance with 26
the approved site plan. 27
(f) Developments containing 100 or more units must include one or more of the 28
approved amenities listed in (e ) above totaling at least 35% of the improved 29
open space requirement. 30
(g) Amenities provided to meet the requirements of (e) or (f) above may be 31
subsequently changed to another amenity type listed provided the total area 32
of such amenities is not reduced below that in the approved site plan. Any 33
subsequent change to an amenity type not listed must be approved by the 34
Director. 35
7. Stormwater Management. Stormwater retention or detention facilities must be 36
integrated, to the greatest extent practicable, into the design of parking areas 37
and open spaces as landscape amenities and should include low impact 38
design techniques such as swales and rain gardens. The use of cisterns to 39
capture stormwater for on-site irrigation is also encouraged. Stormwater 40
management facilities located within an open space may only be counted as 41
improved open space if it is designed so that it need not be fenced and is 42
landscaped and useable by residents. 43
8. Service, Loading and Waste Collection. Each development must be provided 44
with a service area or areas for waste collection. Each such area must be 45
located behind the front building line and away from public views but must be 46
conveniently accessible to vehicles collecting such waste and to residents. 47
The location of such areas must minimize negative visual, noise, odor and 48
other impacts to adjoining streets, on-site dwellings and adjacent 49
developments. Each such area must be paved with concrete and screened by 50
an opaque fence or wall at least as tall as the waster container and as otherwise 51
approved by the Director. The enclosure must have an opaque gate or closure 52
that will be kept closed when not being accessed. 53
9. Fire Protection. 1
(a) No portion of any building may be located farther from a fire hydrant than 2
may be reached with 500 ft of hose. 3
(b) If the adopted fire prevention and protection codes are in conflict, 4
then the more restrictive requirements will prevail. 5
(c) Every multifamily building must be accessible to fire trucks equipment as 6
required and approved by the Fire Department. Provided adequate 7
clearance, such access may be located along an interior drive, within a 8
parking lot or within any open area adjacent to each building. The 9
acceptable distance between buildings and the fire truck access area must be 10
determined by the Fire Department based upon building height and design. 11
E. Pedestrian Access Standards. A pedestrian circulation system meeting the 12
following standards must be provided: 13
1. Walkways must connect the pedestrian circulation system to adjacent public 14
streets. 15
2. If not already provided, a publicly accessible sidewalk at least five feet wide 16
must be provided along all public street frontages. 17
3. Walkways must connect the main entrances of all buildings. For buildings 18
fronting on a public street, a public sidewalk may be counted toward this 19
standard. Walkways must be provided that connect building entrances to 20
parking areas and common areas and facilities. 21
4. Walkways must be provided to connect to any public trails or similar bicycle-22
pedestrian facilities adjoining the site. 23
5. Materials Standards for Pathways. 24
(a) Walkways must be of concrete or masonry pavers and at least five feet 25
wide except that walkways serving no more than four units may be four 26
feet wide. 27
(b) Except as provided in Item c below, walkways must be clearly defined and 28
designed so as to be separated from vehicular use areas through the use of 29
raised curbs, elevation changes, bollards, landscaping, different paving 30
materials or similar methods. Striping alone does not meet this requirement. 31
If a raised path is used it must be at least four inches high. Bollard spacing 32
must be no further apart than five feet on center. 33
(c) A vehicular drive may be counted toward pedestrian access if the drive 34
provides access to 16 or fewer parking spaces and is surfaced with paving 35
blocks, bricks, or other special paving. 36
F. Privacy and Security Standards. 37
1. When a multifamily building is located adjacent to a public street, any stairway 38
must be enclosed within the building or otherwise screened from public street 39
views. For street-facing buildings, upper floor units must be accessed from 40
within the building interior or from an exterior walkway that overlooks an interior 41
courtyard or similar common area. 42
2. Separation must be provided between windows of ground floor dwelling 43
units and adjacent walkways, parking areas and common open spaces, 44
including: 45
(a) A horizontal separation at least ten feet deep including a landscaped bed 46
containing at least one row of evergreen shrubs with a mature height of at 47
least three feet; and/or 48
(b) Vertical separation so that the bottom edge of a ground-floor window is at 49
least five feet above the grade of the adjacent walkway, parking area or 50
open space. 51
Developments are encouraged to raise the ground floor of residential buildings at 1
least 30 inches above the adjoining sidewalk or parking area to enhance privacy. 2
Wherever the ground floor is so raised, the minimum horizontal separation in (a) 3
above is reduced to six feet. 4
3. Entrances and porches of individual units must be set back at least seven feet 5
from walkways and at least twelve feet from the curb line of any driveway or 6
parking area. If the entrance or porch level is at least 30 inches above the 7
adjoining grade, the minimum setback from walkways is four feet and the 8
minimum setback from the curb line of driveways and parking areas is nine 9
feet. 10
G. Lighting Standards. Lighting should eliminate adverse impacts of light spillover; 11
provide attractive lighting fixtures and layout patterns that contribute to a unified 12
exterior lighting design; and provide exterior lighting for safe vehicular and 13
pedestrian access to and within a development. 14
1. Pedestrian Lighting. Pedestrian-level, bollard lighting, ground-mounted 15
lighting, or other low, glare- controlled fixtures mounted on building or 16
landscape walls must be used to light walkways. 17
2. Lighting Height. Light poles and lighting structures may not be taller than 20 18
feet. 19
3. Building-Mounted Lighting. Building-mounted lighting must be limited to 20
accent lighting used to illuminate architectural features and entrances, with a 21
maximum height of 20 ft. 22
4. Illumination Areas. Exterior lighting must be designed to a minimum average 23
level of one foot candle along all pedestrian areas and driveways and 24
throughout parking areas. Exterior lighting must be maintained in accordance 25
with the approved site plan. 26
5. Spillover Glare. Light fixtures must use full cut-off lenses or hoods to prevent 27
glare and light spillover onto adjacent properties, buildings, and roadways. 28
H. Architectural Standards. 29
1. Four-sided design. All building elevations must reflect consistent design, 30
textures, colors, and features. All walls must be articulated and fenestrated to 31
provide visual interest. 32
2. Building Articulation. All buildings must include the following architectural 33
design features at intervals of no more than 30 ft along all facades facing a 34
street, open space or parking area: 35
(a) Vertical building articulation. Minimum depth and width of articulation is 36 36
inches and four feet, respectively, if corresponding with a change in color or 37
building material and/or roofline. Otherwise, minimum depth and width of 38
articulation is ten feet and 15 ft, respectively. Porches and projecting balconies, 39
including those that are partially recessed, count toward this requirement. 40
(b) Articulation of the “base, middle and top”. This typically includes a distinctive 41
design for the portion of the elevation along the foundation and ground floor, 42
consistent articulation of middle floors, and a distinctive roofline. 43
3. Diversity of Building Types. Multi-building developments must provide different 44
architectural designs to achieve visual interest and variety, particularly where 1
multiple buildings front on the same public street. 2
Changes in building colors or reversal of facade designs are not sufficient to comply 3
with this standard. To meet this requirement, changes must include a combination 4
of at least two of the following: vertical articulation (meeting the requirements of (a) 5
above), fenestration, building materials, and roof design. 6
4. Accessory structures. Accessory structures must reflect the same design and 7
finish as principal buildings. 8
5. Roof Design. 9
(a) Multifamily buildings must have a minimum 5:12 roof pitch. Alternative roof 10
designs will be considered provided design elements are included to help the 11
building and its roofline fit into the site’s context. 12
(b) Pitched-roof buildings must incorporate variations in the roofline. The 13
maximum length of any 14
continuous roofline is 40 ft. The use, alone, of dormers and/or gables is not 15
sufficient to comply with this requirement. 16
17
18
Left: Continuous roofline exceeds 40 ft. Right: Acceptable variation in roof design. 19
(c) Eaves must extend beyond the supporting wall at least 16 i nches. 20
I. Building Details and Materials. 21
1. Changes in material should occur at the horizontal divisions between the base, 22
middle and top and on inside corners. “Heavier” materials, such as masonry, 23
should be used on the base. 24
2. Exterior Finishes. Building facades must incorporate a coordinated color 25
scheme consisting of matte finishes. A “coordinated color scheme” includes a 26
limited number of complementary colors that are used throughout the 27
development; and in the case of developments with multiple buildings, primary 28
façade colors may alternate from building to building provided trim colors, 29
materials and/or other design features visually tie together individual buildings. 30
Neutral or earth tone colors are recommended. Gloss finishes may be used for 31
trim and accent. Fluorescent and metallic paints are prohibited. 32
3. Windows 33
(a) Transparent windows facing the street are required. At least 15% of each 34
street-facing facade must be fenestration. All other facades must have a 35
minimum fenestration area of 10%. 36
(b) Windows must be recessed or project at least two inches from the wall plane 37
or window trim must be used at least four inches in width with color that 38
contrasts with the base building color. Exceptions will be considered where 39
the design includes other distinctive window or facade treatment that adds visual 40
interest to the building. 41
4. Preferred Building Materials. Building exteriors must be constructed from high 42
quality, durable materials as follows: 43
(a) Brick or other masonry. When used for the facade of any building, concrete 44
blocks must be split, rock- or ground-faced and may not exceed 25% of the 1
masonry area of the facade. To add visual interest, the use of specialized 2
textures and/or colors used effectively with other building materials and 3
details are encouraged. Plain concrete block or plain concrete may be used 4
only as foundation material if the foundation material is not revealed more 5
than three feet above finished grade at the foundation wall. 6
(b) Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) and similar troweled finishes 7
(stucco) must be trimmed in wood, masonry, or other approved materials 8
and may not be used adjacent to grade. 9
(c) Horizontal wood and cementitious siding. Composite boards manufactured 10
from wood or other products, such as hardboard or plankboard, may only 11
be used when the board product is less than nine inches wide. 12
5. Prohibited Materials. The following materials are prohibited in locations visible 13
from the public right-of-way and adjoining properties: 14
(d) Plywood siding (including T-111 or similar plywood), except when used as a 15
component in board and batten siding 16
(e) Highly tinted or mirrored glass (except stained glass) as more than 10 percent 17
of the building facade 18
(f) Corrugated fiberglass 19
(g) Crushed colored rock/crushed tumbled glass 20
(h) Noncorrugated and highly reflective sheet metal 21
6. Vinyl may be used as a trim material. Vinyl siding is permissible as an accent 22
material comprising no more than 30% of any building façade and only when the 23
board size is less than six inches wide. However, vinyl siding it may not be used 24
adjacent to grade. Vinyl siding cannot be painted, which limits opportunities for 25
changing building colors as part of future renovations. 26
7. Corrugated metal siding is permissible as an accent material comprising no 27
more than 30% of any building façade. 28
8. Chain link fencing must be vinyl coated and may not be used forward of the front 29
building line. 30
J. Landscaping. Screening must be provided to conceal certain site elements, 31
including but not limited to, mechanical equipment, loading and waste collection 32
areas, from public view. In addition to any required parking lot landscaping, 33
buffers and screening, landscaping must include the following: 34
1. Foundation Planting. All street-facing elevations must have landscaping 35
along any exposed foundation. The landscaped area may be along the 36
outer edge of a porch instead of the foundation. This landscaping 37
requirement does not apply to portions of the building facade that provide 38
access to the building. Foundation landscaping must meet the following 39
standards: 40
(a) The landscaped area must be at least three feet wide. 41
(b) There must be at least one three-gallon shrub for every three lineal feet of 42
foundation or the minimum spacing necessary for healthy growth as 43
recommended by a landscape professional. 44
2. Landscaping techniques include the following: 45
(a) Preserve existing trees and native vegetation whenever possible. 46
(b) Use plants that require low amounts of water, including native drought-47
resistant species. 48
(c) Use low-impact design techniques, including pervious pavement, swales, and 49
rain gardens, to manage stormwater in parking lots. 50
(d) Locate trees along street frontages at appropriate spacing so that, at 1
maturity, ground floor entrances are clearly visible from the street and 2
sidewalk. 3
(e) Plant a mix of evergreen and deciduous plants to maintain year-round color 4
and interest. 5
(f) Install shrubs, grasses and other non-tree vegetation, as appropriate, for 6
ground cover in landscaping beds, open spaces and other unpaved areas. 7
3. An irrigation method must be included in the landscaping plan. Underground 8
irrigation systems should be used whenever possible to avoid drought loss. 9
K. Additional Standards 10
1. Traffic Impact Study and Plan. A traffic impact study and plan, prepared by a 11
traffic engineer, must be furnished together with the Site Plan if required by 12
the City Engineer. The study must be prepared in accordance with generally 13
accepted standards for traffic studies. The traffic study must show, in detail 14
reasonably satisfactory to the City Engineer, the effect that the proposed 15
development will have on the area adjacent to and near the site. The study must 16
make recommendations with respect to what additional traffic controls will be 17
needed adjacent to or near the site as a result of the traffic generated by 18
proposed development. The developer must pay the cost of any such signals 19
and/or devices, if the City Engineer considers them necessary. 20
2. Drainage Study and Plan. For each development, a drainage study and plan 21
must be furnished as part of the Site Plan. Such study must be prepared by a 22
Professional Engineer. The plan must show, in detail, reasonably satisfactory 23
to the City, the effect that the proposed development will have on the site and 24
the land adjacent to and near the site. The plan must include drainage, 25
grading, excavation, topography, erosion and sedimentation, stormwater 26
detention and floodplain management controls. The plan must provide for such 27
structures and devices as may be required by the City’s stormwater rules and 28
regulations. 29
L. Site Plan Requirements. In addition to the site plan requirements in Section 10, 30
the following must be provided as necessary to determine compliance with the 31
applicable standard: 32
1. Dimensions between buildings and calculations, Subsection D, Paragraph 4. 33
2. Parking calculations in table form, Subsection D, Paragraph 5. 34
3. Open space plan (as separate sheet or as part of landscaping plan), specifying 35
all required improved and other open spaces with overall dimensions, area (sf) 36
for each, proposed use and improvements, including a table with areas and 37
percentages, Subsection D, Paragraph 6. 38
4. Location and amount of dedicated storage space, Subsection D, Paragraph 10. 39
5. Pedestrian circulation plan, with dimensions, materials in relation to open 40
