Summary
On second reading the council approved rezoning 48.06 acres at 2051 Alabama Highway 169 from R‑1 to C‑3. The ordinance passed on roll call during the meeting.
The Opelika City Council approved on second reading an ordinance to change the zoning and map designation for 48.06 acres at 2051 Alabama Highway 169 from R‑1 to C‑3.
The ordinance for second reading was presented by staff, a motion to approve was made and seconded, and the council approved the ordinance on a roll call vote.
Why it matters: The rezoning changes allowable land uses on a large parcel along a state highway and may enable commercial development consistent with C‑3 zoning. The council did not provide detailed site plans or specific development proposals during the meeting; additional permits and applications will be required for future construction.
Next steps: Any future development will follow local permitting and review processes under C‑3 zoning and may return to council for related approvals.
