At its Dec. 22 meeting the Homewood City Council set three public hearings for Jan. 26 at 6 p.m.

Mayor Anders read the notices into the record: the first hearing will consider condemnation at 1625 26th Avenue South; the second will consider an amended development plan for Homewood Community Church to permit construction of a two-story building totaling 30,797 square feet and related parking and landscaping on property currently zoned GERD; the third will consider an amended development plan for Brookdale University Park to permit construction of a pickleball court on the south rear side of the Brookdale Senior Living facility on an existing paved parking area.

Each item was introduced by staff (identified in the agenda as Mr. Pew) and will be heard at a public hearing on Jan. 26 at 6 p.m., when the public will have an opportunity to comment and councilors will consider whether to approve or amend the proposals.

Why it matters: the hearings cover property actions that could change land use and site layout for a church and a senior-living campus, and a potential condemnation that could affect property ownership and neighborhood character.

What’s next: the council will conduct the public hearings on Jan. 26 at 6 p.m.; the council may vote on those items following the hearings or schedule them for a later meeting.
