Baldwin County Planning and Zoning Commission approves slate of subdivisions and site plans
Summary
At its Dec. 4 meeting the Baldwin County Planning and Zoning Commission approved multiple preliminary plats, replats and site plans — ranging from two-lot resubdivisions to a 10‑lot subdivision and telecom tower — and welcomed a new commissioner and a new natural resources planner.
The Baldwin County Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 4 approved a series of subdivision replats, preliminary plats and site plans, including several two-lot resubdivisions and a 10-lot preliminary plat, and heard a presentation on a proposed 300-foot telecommunications tower.
Staff presented multiple subdivision and replat items across planning districts. Highlights included CPD25-02 (Cottages on the Cove), SC25-53 (resub of Lot 2A, Deering Acres), SC25-55 (Vulvecki split), SC25-56 (Willis Division of Riverside Farm Estates), SC25-57 (T and K resub), SC25-58 (Northern Pines, a 10-lot subdivision), SPP25-29 (resub of Lots 27 & 9 of CC77) and SRP25-19 (Herring Court replat on Ono Island). For each case staff outlined zoning, utilities, drainage narratives and any wetlands findings and recommended approval; commissioners moved, seconded and approved each item by voice vote.
In the site-plan portion of the meeting, staff recommended approval of CSP25-08, a Black & Veatch telecommunications site plan to replace an existing 240-foot tower with a 300-foot self-supporting tower in the Loxley area (M-1 zoning). Frank Dalio spoke as the applicant representative; staff noted the use is permitted in M-1 and recommended approval with conditions, and the commission approved it by voice vote.
Also on the agenda was CSP25-40, a 2,000-square-foot Swinson office/warehouse on about 1.59 acres in Planning District 12 (B-3 zoning). Neighbors asked questions about lighting and visibility; staff explained lighting must be downward-directed and that a 30-foot landscape buffer is required on applicable sides of the site. The commission approved the site plan subject to staff conditions.
During the meeting commissioners welcomed new member Doug Lipscomb and staff introduced James Howard as the county’s new natural resources planner, who will work on the county master plan and conservation inventory. The commission adjourned until Jan. 8, 2026.
A full list of approved cases and their disposition is below.
