Council holds public hearing on one rezoning, approves second rezoning for Coosa River Parkway parcels

The Wetumpka City Council held a public hearing on Ordinance 2025-5, a request to rezone a 1.14-acre parcel on Coosa River Parkway, and later approved a separate rezoning of a 0.42-acre parcel on Coosa River Parkway.

At the start of the public hearing on Ordinance 2025-5, which concerned a 1.14-acre parcel described as part of the north half of the northwest corner of Section 13, Township 18 North, Range 18 East, no members of the public spoke in favor or opposition. The council then moved on to consider a related rezoning item involving a 0.42-acre parcel in the same section.

Councilmember Brown moved to approve the second rezoning item when the council entertained a motion; a second was recorded and the council adopted the rezoning by voice vote. The meeting transcript records the motion as: “I move we approve this rezoning,” attributed to Councilperson Brown, followed by the chair’s statement that the rezoning had taken place.

The transcript identifies the zoning change in both items as from R‑H (residential holding) to B‑2 (business). The ordinance numbers referenced in the meeting were Ordinance 2025-5 (the 1.14-acre parcel) and a subsequent rezoning item described on the agenda as a separate submission; the council treated both items as second-time agenda items before moving forward.

The meeting record does not specify detailed conditions placed on the rezoned parcels, any site-specific restrictions, or subsequent permit steps. Timing for formal recording of the ordinances and any administrative follow-up were not stated in the transcript.
