Mr. Rigsby introduced the zoning amendment of property located at 1089 S. Memorial Drive. He stated that the property has a split zoning designation due to its proximity to South Memorial Drive. It appears an approximately 300 ft buffer was established creating B-2 General Business zoning along S. Memorial Drive. He stated that the remaining back portion of the parcel (~60%) is zoned R-2 Single Family Residential. James Ray, petitioner, presented the zoning amendment request for property located at 1089 S. Memorial Drive. He stated that he purchased the property for the existing business and was not aware of the split zoning. He stated that there are no plans for residential use and would like for the entire property have the B-2 zoning. Chairman Smith opened the floor for public comments. There were none to speak. The public hearing was
closed. Mr. Hayden introduced a resolution recommending approval of the rezoning for 1089 S. Memorial Drive from
B-2 and R-2 to B-2 and moved for its approval. Mr. Gardner seconded the motion. The vote was called. The motion to approve passed unanimously.

C. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
D. EVALUATION/COMMENTS:
Proposed Use: The applicant is requesting to rezone a 5.1 +/- acre parcel located on the east side of Old
Highway 31, partially behind Pigg Enterprises, from split zoning of B-2 (General Business)
and R-2 (Single Family Residential) to B-2 (General Business).
Street Connectivity: Parcel has frontage on Old Highway 31.
Water/Sewer: Public water and sewer are available to this site.
E. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The subject site has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Low-Density Residential.
On April 15, 2021, the Planning Commission adopted an updated Prattville Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land
Use Plan and Map in Land Use + Transportation section (pg. 40) of the document shows the subject parcel in Mixed-
Use Residential and Medium-Density Residential FLUM zones and surrounded by Medium Density Residential and
Mixed-Use Residential to the North and East and Commercial to the West and South. The proposed Zoning Map
Amendment to B-2 General Business meets the general fabric of the area.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
This property has a split zoning designation due to its proximity to South Memorial Drive. It appears an
approximately 300 ft buffer was established creating B-2 General Business zoning along S. Memorial Drive. The
remaining back portion of the parcel (~60%) is zoned R-2 Single Family Residential. The FLUM zone for this parcel
is also split between Mixed-Use Residential and Medium-Density Residential, however, borders Commercial. The
S. Memorial / Hwy 31 Corridor, including this parcel, is made up primarily of commercial land uses and the proposed
zoning of this parcel will maintain that general fabric of the area. The proposed zoning map amendment will eliminate
the current split commercial/residential zoning of this parcel and will create a uniform parcel zoned B-2 General
Business.
Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner
Recommendation: Approval. Zoning Map Amendment requires final approval from the City
Council with recommendation from the Planning Commission.
