The approvals covered an off-premises retail beer license, an off-premises retail table wine license and a Class 2 package lounge retail liquor license.
City staff introduced the applications as ABC application 25-037 a and b, and said all reports had been filed with the city clerk. Officer Champion of the Tuscaloosa Police Department told the council the police department had no objection to the applicant.
The applicant identified himself as Johnny Jones of 3641 Lorna Road, Hoover, Alabama, and confirmed the filings represented a change of ownership. During the hearing council members briefly asked whether a package store already existed at the location; Jones and staff said the request was a change of ownership and that the applicant operates other stores.
No members of the public spoke for or against the applications. The council voted to approve the three licenses; the meeting record shows the approvals were recorded and the clerk announced the licenses were approved.
The transcript reflects some confusion in how the applicant’s name and the corporate applicant were stated at different points in the hearing; the city clerk and police reports were described as filed with the clerk’s office. Officer Champion’s statement that the police department had no objection was recorded on the public record.","The council approved three ABC license applications for Momentum Investments Inc., d/b/a Shop and Go, at 1800 Crescent Ridge Road NE after police reported no objection and the applicant confirmed the filings were a change of ownership.",{"_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},6152262,"Council approves rezoning of roughly 4 acres on Highway 69 South to Highway Commercial",105,596000,701000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5499331-c52d02787c5d8ca522477c05698fd209&start=596&end=701","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5499331-c52d02787c5d8ca522477c05698fd209/thumbnail_596000.jpg","/articles/6152262/Tuscaloosa-City/Tuscaloosa-County/Alabama/Council-approves-rezoning-of-roughly-4-acres-on-Highway-69-South-to-Highway-Commercial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152262-eb74874c8d30a00292d22d926e983e28/orig.mp4?Expires=1775579084&Signature=FwPAH0h3aCr7ZVnm8exxSjyAjjMsSWhdEsHLQWCP5azryMr9yvrtZWsMvqUC7v4tsDmwMkd0uPN~Pe2jQZZHsGa7Bc995aEkNF8k75UEHTL3TBANM2GjrYgE8u1ydzuEq7bHe8qaiBLEDzZAKO2X2Bl5MMzOh-oUhdqqFKGhm~lR5Kny2RUNLpd0kk95vswfTGsCF9zL95B4HTQ8tb0Bmm00OiCr2URHxoeVUXWUG1HAimMtFhf24dvE~GTiY8HrvcxaIJig5ZLcm~JWLpotGf2Ps1Y-slP8zfWh-V5TwGDjY6SAf3QVLLZq8EwmeeZOctg-5hf920TeVYNUxaghLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tuscaloosa City Council on May 19 adopted a zoning amendment to rezone approximately 4.03 acres north of 9710 Highway 69 South and south of 9200 Highway 69 South to Highway Commercial.
City staff presented the request from Huffman Real Estate Services, saying the property will be subdivided into four lots and that, if rezoned, the parcels will be annexed into the city for development. Staff said the request conforms to the city's future land-use framework, which identifies the area as corridor commercial, and that the planning commission unanimously recommended approval.
Jimmy Duncan of Duncan Coker Associates represented the applicant at the hearing and told council members that the applicants are from Baldwin County and that two of the four lots are tentatively planned for quick-service restaurants. \"I think they're tentatively, two of those four lots are quick service restaurants,\" Duncan said.
No members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning at the public hearing. After brief council questions, the council voted to adopt the zoning amendment; staff noted that annexation would come back to the council if rezoning was approved.
The rezoning approval allows the applicant to proceed toward annexation and site development processes under city codes and applicable permitting.","The council adopted a zoning amendment to rezone about 4.03 acres north of 9710 Highway 69 South to Highway Commercial; city staff said the request conforms to the future land-use framework and the rezoning was unanimously recommended.",{"_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},6152267,"Tuscaloosa council adopts demolition order for property cited with 40 housing code violations",242,319000,561000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5499331-c52d02787c5d8ca522477c05698fd209&start=319&end=561","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5499331-c52d02787c5d8ca522477c05698fd209/thumbnail_319000.jpg","/articles/6152267/Tuscaloosa-City/Tuscaloosa-County/Alabama/Tuscaloosa-council-adopts-demolition-order-for-property-cited-with-40-housing-code-violations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152267-515fa1f2d83237244680140c69fb675a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775579084&Signature=EfmU3whQgpITpLAugG3b2RRKzt4Dqnj2u--qD3v~8jozDkHKyMfdt27yFwFmRr3p0koOiY2DB-Gyx6VhgZmwXWq3Q4Z3upd7P2T9dAJTfnJMFgD8Ya9CNhNfJFz2uh0cEShhejBBbgTPEywEV52x-cE2X-lQCwJGr4D~HZ9up4W6TUzvDKtGDidMkMQLf46Esllq4gFoOWp2zA~-x8FZVyqCNz5KHVdi480WBWfAXx-xXAG50fJGvDFmMfcF8rCGo4Ebi4JaNdd4AUZWQ6h16hd0okbubOhZ1xuAWc7BHb0l~W2pR-9Mr09dV9MfKRU1byq-Ao5zfyde5VrP0uDgwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tuscaloosa City Council on May 19 adopted an order to demolish the building identified in the meeting record as 260320 Second Street after city staff said the property had 40 housing-code violations.
City staff told council members the property was condemned on 05/19/2025 and that the condemnation covers the primary house and all accessory structures. The staff presentation said the owner had been contacted and warned that if the city carries out demolition, the cost of demolition will be billed back to the owner and, if unpaid, could become a lien on the property and ultimately lead to foreclosure.
The owner, Felicia Gory of 1300 Hargrove Road, Apartment 41B, spoke at the meeting and said she could not afford a full reconstruction and that her family’s priority was to keep the property. “My main concern is not to lose this property,” Gory said. She asked whether the family would have time to remove personal items; a city staffer told her property owners receive notice and that demolition is not immediate.
A city staff member described the usual timing and notices: owners receive mailed notice, and after utilities are disconnected the property is scheduled for demolition; even then, the staff member said owners can expect roughly two to three weeks’ lead time before demolition, with the longer administrative timelines possibly extending to 30 to 90 days depending on circumstances.
Council discussion included confirmation that the order would not result in immediate demolition and that staff would stay in contact with the owner about the schedule and next steps. The council then voted to adopt the demolition order.
Council and staff remarks included a reiteration that demolition costs are billed back to the owner and that unpaid costs can produce a lien on the property.
The adopted order directs city staff to proceed with the condemnation process under the city’s established procedures; the meeting record did not list any additional mitigation funding or relocation assistance for the owner.","The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to adopt a demolition order for the property identified in the meeting record as 260320 Second Street after staff said the structure had 40 housing-code violations; the property owner asked for time to remove belongings and was told there would be notice and a period to vacate.","actionData","errors"]
