B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS & HISTORY
Previous Requests/Approval: No previous action
C. ANALYSIS:
Proposed Use: The applicant is requesting a zoning designation of B-2 (General
Business). The applicant has stated that this request is being made for a
restaurant. No details were given on specifics of the restaurant including
ingress/egress, general location, and footprint of proposed building area.
Street Connectivity: No new access points are proposed within the submitted survey exhibit in
support of this rezoning. The majority of the tract has frontage along US
HWY 82. As an Alabama Department of Transportation maintained
highway corridor, controlled access points allow for no future
ingress/egress connections other than the existing access point’s currently
placed, if any. A submitted survey in support of this rezone indicate a
portion of the property located at the NW corner of Washington Ferry Rd
& US Hwy 82 as being acquired for future state right-of-way in anticipation
for improvements to US HWY 82. A portion of right-of-way is also
indicated as being acquired nearest to the property line along Washington
Ferry Road to the intersection of Washington Ferry Road & Robinson Street
(an unimproved city street) located at the NE corner of the parcel (see staff
comments).

Water/ Sewer: The proposed site can be accessed by an existing sanitary sewer line located
parallel to the east side of Washington Ferry Road. Access to this sewer line
would require coordination underneath the existing road right-of-way as the
property is located on the west side of Washington Ferry Road.
Furthermore, there is no direct sewer line access along US HWY 82, and
near the Jensen Road & US HWY 82 intersections. Water is available on
site.

D. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/STAFF COMMENTS:
The subject site has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Low-Density Residential.
This 2.7 acre section of property located at the NW corner of US HWY 82 & Washington Ferry Road has an
estimated 100 +/- feet of no access right-of-way from the north edge of US HWY 82 to the south property line.
This tract has multiple road frontages with Robinson Street at the north, Johnson Street at the west, and Washington
Ferry Road at the east. Note that the petitioner has submitted a site survey indicating the potential purchase of right-
of-way from ALDOT at the NE corner of the parcel at the Robinson Street & Washington Ferry Road intersection.
After right-of-way improvement are made, access to this parcel would be inadequate to existing gravel city streets,
Robinson Street at the north & Johnson Street to the west.
This subject site has a future land use classification of Low Density Residential as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
Low density residential refers to single family homes on single lots, usually at least one-sixth of an acre or larger. In
most cases, single-family residential districts will abut other single-family district land uses and greenspace.
Rezoning this property from R-2 (Single-Family Residential) to B-2 (General Business) would be contrary to
consistency in following with the Comprehensive Plan. This changing of land-use intensity for business would
create a commercial node along gravel city streets that is intended for access to existing single-family dwellings
therefore, the basic infrastructure needs of this location and residential future land use classification do not support
this rezoning request of B-2 (General Business) for the 2.7 acre tract.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner
Site Visits Conducted: July, 2020
Recommendation: Denial. This proposed rezoning does not meet the Future Land
Use Classification of the Comprehensive Plan, as this guiding
growth policy recommends a Low-Density Residential future
land classification for the subject property. The rezoning of these
parcels to B-2 (General Business) would be inconsistent with this
guiding principle in following with the Comprehensive Plan. It
shall be noted that the applicant has stated that is of the intention
to rezone said property for a proposed restaurant.
