Commission rescinds July approval for former Homewood police station resurvey after council inaction
Summary
The Homewood Planning Commission voted 6‑0 on Aug. 5 to rescind its July 8 approval for the resurvey and subdivision of the former Homewood Police Station property after the City Council did not act on the companion rezoning.
The Homewood Planning Commission on Aug. 5 voted 6‑0 to rescind its July 8 approval for a resurvey and subdivision of the former Homewood Police Station site located at 183320 Ninth Avenue South.
A commissioner moved to rescind the commission’s earlier action on case RS25‑07‑04, citing the city council’s decision not to act on a companion rezoning and the absence of any contract on the property. Another commissioner seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 6‑0 vote.
According to the motion on the record, the July 8 approval had provided for subdividing the former police station parcel into two lots to facilitate redevelopment. The rescission was made “in recognition of the decision of the city council not to take action on a companion rezoning of the subject property” and because there is no longer a contract tied to the property, according to the motion language read into the record.
The commission’s action formally withdraws its prior approval and returns the matter to its pre‑approval status; the transcript does not specify next steps for the property or any prospective buyer or developer.
The rescission vote was recorded as: Commissioner Wilcott — yes; Commissioner Respiento/Rispinto — yes; Commissioner Henninger — yes; Commissioner Andress — yes; Commissioner Gulas — yes; Commissioner Armstead — yes. The motion carried 6‑0.
