Staff presented the site plan and noted the property is currently undeveloped and zoned B-2. John McFinnegan, a nearby resident, sought clarification because earlier materials included a master-plan graphic for a larger 42.6-acre area; staff and the applicant clarified that the commission was only considering the immediate 1.91-acre lot at this meeting. \"So this is more of a master plan... All they're petitioning is to subdivide Brothers, which would be... this right of way and lot 1, the 1.91 acres,\" staff explained.

With no other public opposition, a motion to approve the preliminary plat was moved and seconded and the commission voted in favor. A commissioner used a point of privilege to thank City Engineer Paxton Reese for his assistance. The preliminary plat approval is recorded in the meeting minutes as approved by the commission; any final plat and development will be subject to subsequent departmental reviews and applicable permits.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3-20-2025 Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Prattville Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for HD and D Highway 31 Commercial Plat 1 on March 20, 2025, which subdivides a 1.91-acre parcel on South Memorial Drive adjacent to Sheila Boulevard for commercial development.","taxTitle","Prattville, Autauga County, Alabama","taxId",52840,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264765,"Commission recommends rezoning on Doster Road from FAR to M-2",192,3218520,3411245,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095850-313a44930d7949d23df2e536b10fd09f&start=3218&end=3411","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095850-313a44930d7949d23df2e536b10fd09f/thumbnail_3218520.jpg","/articles/6264765/Prattville/Autauga-County/Alabama/Commission-recommends-rezoning-on-Doster-Road-from-FAR-to-M-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264765-e2d45beb9070c4d5493818ceb07dc1c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437876&Signature=cMLl8XjINFDlUPo7gMByQZa~ISSMygmaOSc4JqGsqy9GYh728E5hqJ1ImbmzW~xP5spgnfCDQ62cfLqBLLizx6PFzqo0bmrnoeQtU6dvJbekJSkXmmTLBCRkjYTIYLihXgVUhDhJ2u52YJsLsuW8lFCqF~UgXcs3AqSduQjwsaO~vrU3KBXjZvb~nkhZQyGJiyUo7gnmbrcH9EoUxckExjdRoUbu0KhiUTyiMndhNSzxIYiWR1Uual6I36TLKUusvTm2plrbagbh60OwcMQFVUJewpKkrCMPtRwBT83THMmMfC0HSkhn-tAE0R6MJVubhNosXFHuw0W-60CQmvUKJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On March 20, 2025 the Prattville Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning an approximately 6.24-acre parcel on Doster Road from FAR to M-2 (multifamily/residential) following a public hearing. The petitioner on the application was Blake Rice of BSI Incorporated.

Planning staff presented maps showing the site, which is adjacent to light industrial and identified on the future land-use map for multifamily residential. One member of the public, Laurie Davis of 1338 South Memorial Drive, asked for confirmation of the project location after staff acknowledged an earlier mailing had included an incorrect map in some notices. Staff confirmed the correct parcel location for the hearing.

With no further public opposition, a resolution recommending rezoning as requested was read and moved; the commission voted and the motion carried (chair: \"Motion carries\"). The commission's recommendation is advisory and would be transmitted to the City Council for final consideration if the petitioner pursues that step.","The Prattville Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning about 6.24 acres on Doster Road from FAR to M-2 (multifamily) on March 20, 2025; the petitioner was Blake Rice of BSI Incorporated and no speakers registered formal opposition at the hearing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264770,"Planning commission postpones Lower Kingston Plat 1 after neighbors raise drainage, demolition concerns",1789,1304135,3093555,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095850-313a44930d7949d23df2e536b10fd09f&start=1304&end=3093","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095850-313a44930d7949d23df2e536b10fd09f/thumbnail_1304135.jpg","/articles/6264770/Prattville/Autauga-County/Alabama/Planning-commission-postpones-Lower-Kingston-Plat-1-after-neighbors-raise-drainage-demolition-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264770-d1e44ae10222ecb15f326fbc3fb2460a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437876&Signature=CBsxIRuZ0KrqEWVews30ZeSF1Dz78SiChbL5-CbUXKolJWRV6f8~FXAOK-bXLeiQoVFGyUh8CKqDzj-8Y0BBtyQBXfhQFjyQhNC-x5QngLM-6k0pjy1royev5CDFA5sOiE99ROhKtEthwvYSkoCVtQpuTssTb0sdMvIUskCTwKBmxCEkWkjgidIdbzCtiw1wYahy6ih9hft2bnmpkF3Xd4LqIMQ8sWngDAunIF6dmIZ~PO0D9dLUNqlxiEoy5jfVGjj7nggQ93CY4MvLnToqohpkMe6b47a88UdxPFTvaM5R-z-JHJOdVdRoC2iyambT34pD3-H~mDm6XtPyIPsrdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prattville Planning Commission on March 20, 2025 postponed action on the Lower Kingston Plat 1 preliminary plat after residents and the developer discussed demolition, floodplain and drainage issues and engineering staff described permit requirements.

Planner Bria Hudson presented the plat, noting portions of proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2 are in FEMA Flood Zone A and must comply with FEMA requirements and city permits. Resident Harvey Russell of 588 Lower Kingston Road said he had seen demolition work without permits and asked the commission to delay approval until elevations and survey information were complete. \"If you don't know your own plan, you can't approve a plan,\" Russell said, asking the commission to vote no until a full plan is available.

Developer Dustin Woodley described proposed four \"tiny\" houses of about 768 square feet each and said the surveyor had shot elevations and planned to set the front two lots outside the floodplain. Woodley said he and Russell had been communicating and offered options such as a ditch or berm between properties to manage runoff. City Engineer Paxton Reese told the commission that for a four-lot residential subdivision of this scale the city would not require stormwater detention and that departmental review occurs again at final plat, but added that larger impervious-area developments (for example commercial sites or extensive paving) would trigger detention requirements.

After discussion a motion to postpone the item to the next meeting carried. The transcript shows commissioners requested the petitioner provide finished elevation, drainage details and permit documentation when the item returns. The petitioner agreed to meet with neighbors and bring engineering details to the next meeting.

Separately in the meeting record staff read a resolution template that stated the preliminary plat was approved; however the active vote and subsequent statements in the transcript confirm the commission postponed the item to the next meeting and will revisit the plat when the petitioner provides the requested engineering and drainage details.","The Prattville Planning Commission postponed action on the Lower Kingston Plat 1 preliminary plat on March 20, 2025 after neighbors raised concerns about demolition without permits, floodplain impacts and drainage; the developer agreed to provide additional elevation, survey and drainage details at the next meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264774,"Prattville planning commission fails to recommend rezoning of Davis Street parcel",571,189700,760875,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095850-313a44930d7949d23df2e536b10fd09f&start=189&end=760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095850-313a44930d7949d23df2e536b10fd09f/thumbnail_189700.jpg","/articles/6264774/Prattville/Autauga-County/Alabama/Prattville-planning-commission-fails-to-recommend-rezoning-of-Davis-Street-parcel","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264774-5fdd012b68f159ad69e8a3c0c2304796/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437876&Signature=eXtUAV2~uWEQlsNN61y7PKxCbaan9MujBDHbQHllwXqAvzcploXqM-iu1HpA2ylsjZKHXhfCAhba7MTLxNL8z1wLw7~q4A5sf278d3RMVddqKKoAestzDouFp9dtdSBznxhrP0t5Uh4KWIyhl5GGFLfovVcEV2JSjJDYES3OBmNA~hkTWsGQHAfSjOG5b7Bn3wQiK14M1MusWk1t6xUnXQFOkccjianSvYqElDdsgG83OnFW2tMFMzbhxnnvyh~~0fglOBK3QAsm30FL3e~tLWoNoDFTSJ~I84-~4NdwU-3oW-cYtwSDcMhvZJMaVzEE5ThW134yD8yE4V1TSjGL7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prattville Planning Commission on March 20, 2025 declined to recommend rezoning an approximately 2.2-acre property at the corner of Davis Street and Dozier Avenue from R-2 single-family residential to B-1 neighborhood business following a public hearing and discussion.

The commission heard from Jevon Bowens Thomas, who said he lives at 947 Davis Street and urged commissioners to consider safety for children and residents near the site. \"There are kids that have been almost hit,\" Thomas said, and added he feared harassment after speaking to the commission previously. The petitioner, Larry Webb, told commissioners he has lived in the neighborhood for 35 years and described plans to build a metal building he would rent to owners of RVs or for light shop uses.

Commissioners questioned traffic, permitted uses under B-1 and the lot size. Planning staff said B-1 allows personal or business offices by right and certain repair or parking uses by special exception; manufacturing and heavy industrial uses would not be allowed in B-1. One commissioner said the southern side of Davis had been intended to remain residential and warned that zoning to business can allow a broader range of uses than the petitioner described.

After discussion the body moved a resolution recommending rezoning; the motion did not carry. The transcript records the motion failed (chair: \"Motion failed\"). The commission did not record a roll-call vote with individual yes/no tallies in the hearing record.

The public hearing and discussion are on the record; the commission's recommendation is advisory. The petitioner and opponents may pursue further steps with the City Council or through other administrative procedures noted in the planning process.","After a public hearing with neighborhood concerns about traffic and student safety, the Prattville Planning Commission did not recommend rezoning a roughly 2.2-acre parcel at Davis Street and Dozier Avenue from R-2 (single-family) to B-1 (neighborhood business) on March 20, 2025.","actionData","errors"]
