Planning Commission approves limited B-2 rezoning at 3701 Atlanta Highway for boutique, insurance and education uses
Summary
Patricia Thomas requested rezoning of 3701 Atlanta Highway from AO2 (office) to B-2 A (commercial) restricted to boutique retail, insurance services, educational workshops and health fairs; the planning commission moved and unanimously approved the restriction.
Patricia Thomas asked the Montgomery City Planning Commission to rezone one lot at 3701 Atlanta Highway from AO-2 (office) to B-2 A (commercial) so she can relocate Patricia’s Boutique and associated insurance and community-education activities.
Thomas said she operates Patricia’s Boutique and an insurance brokerage; she plans daytime retail hours and monthly community events (including “Chat and Choo” and occasional Bible-study or community-leader talks), educational workshops teaching seniors to use smartphones and apps, and health fairs.
Commissioners asked whether she would accept limits on future uses. Thomas agreed to limit the B-2 A zoning to the specific uses she requested — boutique retail, insurance services, education workshops and health fairs — and stated her planned hours (Tuesday–Friday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–2 p.m.). A commissioner moved to approve the rezoning with those restrictions; another commissioner seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The commission’s action restricts the property’s commercial zoning to the uses Thomas described; any future different use would require further review or a zoning change.
