Rezoning request for two Culver Road parcels denied after petitioner absence and public opposition
Summary
The commission denied a petition to rezone two parcels at 2835 and 2837 Culver Road from SFR‑2 to NC after the petitioner failed to appear; a nearby resident argued against rezoning for storage and recommended denial or referral to the zoning board of adjustment.
The Tuscaloosa Planning and Zoning Commission voted against a rezoning request for approximately 0.56 acres at 2835 and 2837 Culver Road after the petitioner failed to appear at the hearing.
Staff presented the continued petition to rezone the two single‑family residential parcels from SFR‑2 to NC to allow business uses. Because the petitioner did not attend the meeting, the commission noted it had the right to proceed to a vote. A nearby resident, Paul Rollins (5226 Greenview Drive), spoke in opposition and asked the commission to deny the rezoning and suggested the petitioner could pursue a use‑specific request or apply to the board of adjustment instead.
Commissioners who had questioned the request at prior meetings reiterated concerns and then voted on the matter; a motion before the body failed and the commission declined to approve the rezoning. The chair noted the petitioner is precluded from returning the same rezoning request to this body for six months following a denial.
