C. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
D. EVALUATION/COMMENTS:
Proposed Use: The applicant is requesting to rezone 0.68 +/- acres (three parcels) located west of First
Presbyterian Church of Prattville. The proposed rezoning is a single-family residential R-3
and the parcels are currently vacant with an outbuilding present on the center parcel.
Street Connectivity: Street Connectivity consists of 3rd Street and Chestnut Street
Water/Sewer: Water and Sewer is available
E. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The subject site has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Mixed-Use Commercial.
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 is in the
Mixed-Use Commercial zone and surrounded by General Business to the South, West, and East. Single-Family
Residential is located to the north. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment to R-3 Single-Family meets the general
fabric of the area.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
The applicant is requesting to rezone three parcels from B-2 (General-Business) to R-3 (Single-Family Residential).
The parcels are located directly west of First Presbyterian Church of Prattville. The three parcels are approximately
0.68 acres and are primarily vacant with an outbuilding located on the center parcel. B-2 (General-Business) zoning
is located to the south, east, and west and the land uses consist of single-family, place of assembly, and general-
business. The FLUM map shows the subject parcels are in the Mixed-Use Commercial zones. Considering the
location and context of these parcels, and the surrounding land use, staff feels that rezoning to a single-family
residential zone is appropriate. This rezoning should also include a removal from the Downtown Overlay District.
This overlay district is primarily for business and institutional uses.
Reviewed by: Tommie Williams, Planner
Recommendation: Approval. (Zoning Map Amendment requires final approval from the City
Council with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.)

PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
The applicant is submitting a master plan that will subdivide 115.62 acres of property zoned R-3 (Single-Family
Residential) located east of Highland Ridge Subdivision into 315 residential lots. The typical lot shown on the
plan will comply with the underlying zoning. The county line lies within this development and the applicant has
ensured that enough land is established on either side to conform to the lot requirements listed in the
Subdivision Regulations. The applicant has added a stub out to the north and the street connection to Old Farm
Lane has been increased to 50 feet. The proposed connection to the Exchange N goes to a signalized
intersection on Cobbs Ford Rd.
A Master Plan is a conceptual plan showing the entire development site and all component stages or phases, and
expresses the overall development concept for the site at build-out (Subdivision Regulations § 3.3).
