Council adopts rezoning for small parcel at 1603 Trailer Lane to allow two mobile-home lots
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025-O9 to rezone a parcel at 1603 Trailer Lane from U-1 (utility) to R-5B (mobile-home park); city officials said the change is tied to a water project and will permit two additional mobile-home spaces within the existing park.
The Irondale City Council adopted Ordinance 2025-O9 on April 15 to rezone property at 1603 Trailer Lane from U-1 (utility) to R-5B (mobile-home park).
Councilman Cochran explained the parcel sits inside an existing trailer park and that the zoning change will allow the property to be transferred or used by the park in exchange for an easement needed by the city’s water project. A resident who said he lives nearby asked whether an environmental study had been done; city staff and the presenter said the lot is within the current park footprint, sewer service is available, and that only two additional mobile homes would be allowed on the parcel. The resident’s questions about environmental reports and construction standards were referred to city engineers for technical detail.
Council members moved to consider and adopt the ordinance immediately; the motion carried on a recorded vote. The ordinance change will allow the park to use the lot consistent with residential lot-size and permitting requirements and is tied to ongoing water-infrastructure work specified by the presenter.
