Provo Planning Commission approves Lower Kingston preliminary plat amid zoning amendment discussion

The Prattville City Planning Commission convened on April 23, 2025, to address key developments and zoning amendments within the city. The meeting began with a discussion on the preliminary plat for Lower Kingston Plat 1, presented by Alabama Land Surveyors Incorporated. This proposed development is situated at 614 and 624 Lower Kingston Road. Following a public hearing held on March 20, 2025, the commission moved to approve the preliminary plat. A motion was made and seconded, but the decision was postponed to the next meeting, scheduled for the third Thursday of the month at 3:00 PM. It was noted that while postponed items will not receive public notices, they will be posted on the city website for public access.

The next agenda item involved a zoning amendment request to rezone property on Doster Road from FAR (Future Agricultural Residential) to M-2 (Heavy Industrial). The petitioner for this amendment was Bridal Department Group, represented by BSI Incorporated. The proposed site is currently designated for multifamily residential use and is adjacent to light industrial areas, making the request reasonable. The commission opened the floor for public comments, inviting community members to express their views on the zoning change.

Overall, the meeting highlighted significant developments in Prattville, with the commission focusing on facilitating growth while ensuring community input in the planning process. The next steps will involve further discussions on the postponed preliminary plat and the zoning amendment, with opportunities for public engagement in future meetings.
