Michael Moran, the applicant, said he intends to redevelop the former police site into a one-story, high-end restaurant with about two-thirds of the site converted into a passive public park. \"This was my attempt to try to customize a development to fit what I understood to be, the majority of the city's wishes,\" Moran said, describing outreach and a prior City Council approval of the concept.

Moran and Michael Schalles of Chambliss King Architects described site plans and said the city requested a one-story building and an income-producing asset. Commissioners asked about valet and parking arrangements; Moran said he has a verbal agreement with the Aloft hotel owners to use an upper-deck parking area and that he intends to formalize arrangements if the project proceeds.

Staff explained that the requested C4 zoning classification permits food and beverage uses (no drive-through), general retail, health and fitness studios, certain medical and professional offices, personal services and indoor sport facilities, and that the requested zoning would be consistent with the city’s adopted mixed-use land-use plan. Staff also reported that notices were mailed to owners within 500 feet; planning staff received one supportive email from a condominium resident and no expressions of opposition.

In separate votes, the commission approved the resurvey (recorded as 20250704) by a 6-0 vote and then voted 6-0 to recommend RZ250705 to City Council. The rezoning recommendation and the resurvey now proceed to the next steps in the city’s review and approval process.","The Planning Commission approved a resurvey and voted 6-0 to forward a positive recommendation on a rezoning request for the former Homewood Police Department site, where developer Michael Moran proposed a one-story, high-end restaurant and a passive public park.",{"_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},6745776,"Homeowner’s amended plan for 124 South Pointe Drive approved by Homewood Planning Commission",227,97000,324000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5354693-5b6b3fb3f4f0a18ce7bdae41cdf7ac56&start=97&end=324","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5354693-5b6b3fb3f4f0a18ce7bdae41cdf7ac56/thumbnail_97000.jpg","/articles/6745776/Homewood-City/Jefferson-County/Alabama/Homeowners-amended-plan-for-124-South-Pointe-Drive-approved-by-Homewood-Planning-Commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6745776-92ca944b3d76c23803afcff8818cd8f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139147&Signature=bHYpV1R6koohcfK8XlerDBBjKptsgxEAaSqDYR71kJsbd2oS~VKC0P7c~298rBqseaVmQqfpiHILkZPmbDDifmsUGvwxZN4lDCD7nkmrNbatODsPhpfWrHTOwN8BaBImO1uOifMP5dzY~710UCBgrWxadrZADLnTVDYwAP-ji6g8Wmotd3vyHRV-DEaBVSeGIlw8K9WWix5gxffIVYuc1BpK~LrsQL-Zg2GyRmiV4-xlwgimXNkz3gQXpIrKCLxDPt-4rv8nJnlPMTdGVJtEHfu2o5XX0VknheMh2IkniBWCHB~H1A82flzw-uUboUYxZ58mWw4ww4yqCxdHwRZSvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Homewood Planning Commission on a unanimous vote approved D250701, an amended development plan to reinstate a covered rear porch at 124 South Pointe Drive.

Matthew York, homeowner of 124 South Pointe Drive, told the commission he removed the porch cover from an earlier plan to speed permitting after the family expanded and later sought to amend the plan to add the cover back. \"They found that there would be no, no increase in any risk associated with the impervious area coverage,\" York said, describing a survey he requested to assess impervious-area impacts.

York said he had contacted nearby neighbors and received digital support from about 25 residents, and offered to submit the signed digital record to staff. Commissioners confirmed the proposal met the MPD height and setback requirements except that a variance from the MPD setback would be required if it were an NPD lot; staff advised the proposal met other MPD standards.

No members of the public spoke on the case during the public hearing. After staff and the applicant answered a brief set of questions, a commissioner moved to approve D250701; the motion was seconded and passed in a roll call with all voting yes.

The commission’s approval restores the covered portion of the rear deck shown on the applicant’s amended survey. No additional conditions beyond the submitted amended survey and the usual permitting requirements were noted on the record.","The commission unanimously approved amended development plan D250701 to reinstate a covered rear porch at 124 South Pointe Drive after the applicant submitted an amended survey showing no increase in impervious-area risk and digital neighbor support.","actionData","errors"]
