Mr. Barrett moved to establish the findings of fact stating that 1) the proposed Temporary Parking Lot is an allowable use-on-appeal, and is not a prohibited use in a B-2 district; 2) development of the proposed use at 124 S Memorial Drive is in the public interest and meets the spirit of the City of Prattville Zoning Ordinance; and 3) the proposed use will not cause substantial adverse impact to adjacent or nearby properties or uses.

SUBJECT SITE: 124 S Memorial Drive
REQUEST: Use-On-Appeal/ Temporary Parking Lot

USES AND ZONING: South: Prattville Baptist Health Parking (B-2)
East: Prattville Baptist Health (B-2)
West: Single-Family Residential Dwelling/ Water Tower (R-2)
DEVELOPEMNT STATUS & HISTORY:
Previous Requests/Approval: July 9th, 2017- Variance approved for frontage
landscaping and elimination of berm requirement.
January 27th, 1976- Use-on-appeal approved for
operation of hospital in B-2 zoning district.
Conditions of Previous Approval: N/A
ANAYALIS:
Analysis. Below is the staff assessment of the three general question applicable to uses-on-appeal:
1. Is the proposed temporary parking lot an allowable use-on-appeal, and not a prohibited
use in a B-2 district?
The requested use is an allowable use-on-appeal. It is NOT a prohibited use in a B-2 district
as a temporary use.

Planning Department Staff Report
Use On Appeal #200114-03 1-14-20 Page 2
2. Is development of the proposed temporary parking lot for Baptist Health Services in the
public interest? Does the proposed development meet the spirit of the City of Prattville
Zoning Ordinance?
At present, the site is an undeveloped area at the rear of the Prattville Baptist Hospital
directly adjacent to an existing parking area that fronts along Wetumpka Street. As part of
a capital improvement project for the hospital, the hospital will commence construction of
a new geriatrics unit located over an existing parking area at the front elevation of the
hospital facing Memorial Drive. For this new construction project, an entire parking area
will be eliminated, whereas the petitioner wishes to offset this parking with a new
“temporary asphalt parking lot” at the rear of the hospital as depicted in an attached site
plan. 73 (9 x 18) parking spaces will be added within the proposed temporary lot.
3. Does the proposed temporary parking lot cause substantial adverse impact to adjacent or
nearby properties or uses?
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Recommendation: Conditional Approval, contingent upon proposed church meeting all the City of
Prattville development regulations & codes for Zoning/Fire/Building/Engineering
& Storm water, and that parking lot be removed within an 18 month timeframe of
temporary use permit approval.

The provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in which item 1 is requested is referenced in section
described below: Section 71. - Residential district requirements.
Accessory Structures Space and Height
Regulations
Section 69.3. -
Accessory
structures.
(2) Residential zones (not including multi-family zones)
a. Accessory structures shall be located in back or side yards at least ten feet
(10') behind the front building setback or the front plane of the primary
structure, whichever is greater;
b. Accessory structures shall be located at least ten feet (10') from the
primary structure and five feet (5') from other accessory structures;
c. The cumulative area of accessory structures on a parcel shall not exceed
fifty percent (50%) of the gross floor area of the primary structure;
d. Accessory structures shall not be located closer than five feet (5') to
property lines;
e. Exterior materials or cladding shall be similar to and complement that of
the primary structure. An exception to this shall be the allowance of one
metal sided structure no larger than 200 square feet located in a rear
yard;
f. Accessory structures shall not be used as a dwelling unit;
g. Residential zones with specific accessory structure requirements (e.g., R-
5) for locations and setbacks shall be followed in those zones.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicants request is for a proposed open frame carport structure and is depicted in the attached site
plan submitted with an initial accessory structure permit application. Per the applications hand drawn site
plan, there is an existing legal non-conforming accessory structured listed as “shop” on the property. The
applicant intends to add an additional open frame carport directly in front of this existing accessory
structure aligning with the non-comforting structure. In sum, the addition of this 420 sq.’ carport does not
follow the current zoning ordinance specifically, not meeting the side lot line requirement of 5’ for
placement of accessory structure, and being closer than 5’ from the existing accessory “shop” building on
the property.

Mr. Stephens,
I am writing in regards to our conversation of December 17th in regards to the rezoning of the lot on the corner
Durden Rd. and Lexington Ln. As we discussed, placing a structure on the lot will cause excessive water run off,
erosion and flooding of adjacent properties particularly lot number 15 (812 Durden Rd) owned by Mr Lawrenzo
Wright , and lot number 16 owned by Drs Mary and Rene Llera.
As the covenant reads Mr. McNeal would have to set the structure 100 feet from the road. This will place the
structure on a 40 foot drainage easement. We know that placing a structure on any part of this lot will severely alter
the water flow. Therefore it will cause water flow alteration leading to flooding damage, or erosion to adjacent lots
especially at 810 and 812 Durden Rd. The flooding may lead to damage to driveways and structural damage to
buildings. The lot in question was terraced in such a way as to slow and diffuse water flow.
This is why I oppose the rezoning of the lot on the corner of Lexington Ln and Durden Rd.
In a separate email I will send you videos of water flow through the lots number 15 and 16 of Crosswind
subdivision. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you with.
Sincerely
Rene Llera MD
