B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS & HISTORY
Previous Requests:
May not be exhaustive
3/7/2006: Rezoned by Council from FAR to B-2
7/2/2019: Rezoned by Council from B-2 to R-4
2/18/2021: Rezoning request for entire 38 acre area from R-4 to B-2
before Planning Commission; motion failed.
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 City requested the Planning Commission to rezone the entire 38+/- acre area from R-4 to B-2 at the
1/21/2021 meeting where a public hearing was held. The request was postponed and a work session held to
discuss further. The request was voted on at the 2/18/2021 and the motion failed by a vote of three in favor, and four against the motion to rezone. As of this report, the request has not appeared before the City Council.

D. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/STAFF COMMENTS:
The subject site has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Mixed Use-Transitional.
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.”
