Applicant seeks business zoning for outdoor micro‑wedding venue in Danielsville
Summary
An applicant wants to rezone 6.8 acres at 1045 Crawford W Long Street from AR to Business for an outdoor-only micro-wedding venue limited to 50 guests, with additional site requirements including a paved driveway apron, 10 parking spaces and a privacy buffer along one property line.
Casey McGirt, applying for Justin Dejarnett, asked Madison County to rezone a 6.8-acre parcel at 1045 Crawford W Long Street in Danielsville from AR to Business to operate an outdoor-only micro-wedding venue.
Planning staff told the commission the venue would be limited to outdoor micro weddings with a maximum capacity of 50 people; staff said an existing house on the property would be used only as a bridal suite and not for overnight occupancy, with a maximum of 10 people permitted there. Staff summarized site requirements and said, “A minimum of 10 parking spaces with wheel stops are required,” and that the driveway apron must be paved though the drive itself may remain gravel because the use is not retail.
Staff also reported the parcel was previously zoned Business until a 2023 application by Curtis Whittzel changed it to AR to facilitate a residential sale. Staff said the proposed Business zoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan for the South Madison character area and with nearby business-zoned parcels. Planning staff noted additional conditions would include perimeter landscaping, and where the property adjoins a residential lot an 8-foot solid privacy fence or a tight evergreen hedge would be required on that side only.
No vote or motion was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; commissioners asked clarifying questions about the property’s character-area mapping and access. The item was presented for the June 17, 2025 public hearing.
