Columbiana council approves package of rezones and annexation for multiple parcels
Summary
Council approved a bundled package rezoning several unzoned parcels to residential classifications, including annexation of a Queen Road parcel; a developer said the changes will allow subdivision into single-family lots and utilities were confirmed.
The Columbiana City Council voted to approve a package of rezoning ordinances and the annexation of a parcel on Queen Road, the council confirmed during its regular meeting.
The council suspended its regular meeting to hold a public hearing on several properties proposed for pre-zoning from 'no zoning' to R‑1 (single-family residential) and RMH (manufactured home residential) where applicable. A representative of Top Wing Partners told the council the company owns 57 acres on Queen Road and is seeking annexation and rezoning to subdivide part of the parcel into eight residential lots. The representative said the site has a six‑inch water line and adequate pressure for fire hydrants and that the company is coordinating driveway approvals with Shelby County.
After no speakers opposed the rezoning requests in the public hearing, councilors agreed to bundle multiple rezoning items (the Queen Road parcel, 489 and 526 Washboard Road, 355 Washboard Road, and 265 Highway 343) into a single vote. The motion to accept the zoning requests and the Queen Road annexation passed on roll call. The transcript records affirmative roll‑call responses for the members listed in the record.
