City Council Considers Controversial Rezoning for Spa Delivery Service
In a recent city council meeting, a proposal to rezone a property at 1600 Highway 33 from A1 (Agricultural) to M1 (Light Industrial) was discussed. The request, made by Anthony M. Cobaugh, aims to develop the site for office and warehouse use to support a spa delivery service.

Andre Bitas from the City of Pelham provided an overview of the request, noting that the planning commission had previously voted 5 to 2 in favor of the zoning change during a hearing on August 8. Cobaugh, who addressed the council, emphasized that the property is situated next to a B1 zone and is not suitable for agricultural use due to its topography, which features a significant hill.

Cobaugh clarified that the intended use of the property would be for office space and storage of equipment related to his business, specifically for moving hot tubs. He reassured the council that the operation would not involve any questionable activities, stating, \"Nothing very nefarious. Just, just basic business use.\"

The council opened the floor for public comments, inviting supporters of the rezoning to express their views. The outcome of this proposal could significantly impact local business operations and zoning regulations in the area.
