The Hoover City Council adopted ordinance 25-26-85 following a short public hearing and a roll-call vote that split the council 4-3.

City Attorney introduced the ordinance as an amendment to the city's zoning ordinance (ordinance number 263) to change the property at 900 Concourse Parkway from split planned industrial and planned office space to planned office space. The council opened a public hearing and, after hearing no public comments, closed the hearing and moved to vote.

Roll-call votes were recorded as follows: Council Pro Tem Driver ' Aye; Council Member Schulz ' Nay; Council Member Smith ' Aye; Council Member Lovell ' Nay; Council Member Murphy ' Aye; Council Member Santa Claus McClinton ' Nay; Council President Middlebrooks ' Aye. With four ayes and three nays, the motion carried.

The council then noted a first reading for ordinance 25-26-86, an intergovernmental agreement with Jefferson County concerning donation of city-owned property for right-of-way and a temporary construction easement, which will return later for further action.

Next steps: ordinance 25-26-85 was adopted; staff will proceed with any required implementation steps for the rezoning.
