Summary
The commission approved rezoning requests for the Stanley, Hahn and Lett properties, a planned industrial development site plan, ratified interim payments and approved a county property purchase; the board also paid $12,375,687.22 in invoices.
The Baldwin County Commission on Dec. 16 approved several zoning and development items, ratified interim payments, authorized a county property purchase and paid $12,375,687.22 in invoices.
In a series of votes the commission approved: Z25-56 (Stanley property rezoning from BCZ to RR for a 2-acre residential request), Z25-57 (Hahn property rezoning to neighborhood commercial B2 for about 3.3 acres), and Z25-59 (Lett property rezoning to B3 allowing a drive-through restaurant on about 2.1 acres in Lillian). Each rezoning was presented by county planning staff and received motions and voice votes in favor.
The commission also approved PID20-501 ("Pallet 1"), a planned industrial development site plan near the Wilcox Exit. Staff said the applicant will add two open-sided canopies to cover pallet storage and relocate parking to improve the site; staff recommended approval with a condition that future expansions return for site plan review.
