Summary

The Feb. 12 Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Commission hearing approved several subdivision and a special‑use permits, recommended denial of two rezoning requests, and heard a withdrawal of a proposed supervised group home.

The Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Commission moved through a packed Feb. 12 agenda, approving multiple subdivision petitions and a special‑use permit while recommending denial of two zoning changes and recording the withdrawal of a group-home rezoning.

Subdivisions: The commission approved a sequence of subdivision cases on voice votes: S250093 (Quentin Finley) — a two‑lot resurvey at 619 Pinewood Avenue, Hueytown; S260001 (Steven Allen) — Normans Meadows (six lots) approved with an exception to allow Lots 5 and 6 to be recorded without road frontage; S260002 (Wesley Higginbotham) — Brian Higginbotham subdivision approved with a waiver of a 1‑acre minimum for Lot 2; S260003 (Jeffrey Wright) — one‑lot Jacob Perris subdivision approved at 8218 John Goggins Road; S260004 (Abel Mateo Hernandez) — Zamudio’s addition to Lindsay Loop approved; and S260005 (Lauren Carter) — Carter Family Subdivision (two lots) approved.

Special use: The commission approved a staff‑recommended special‑use permit to allow a second owner‑occupied mobile home for in‑laws on a 5.35‑acre lot at 8810 Mountain Street N in Pinson (case 26001MS/MISC250757).

Zoning denials and withdrawal: The commission recommended denial of Z240056 (John Kane) — a request to rezone land at 2132 Bone Dry Road to a PR7 conservation development for 30 lots — citing lack of secondary emergency access and forwarding that recommendation to the Jefferson County Commission. The body also recommended denial of Z250034 (Yasmin She Ming) to rezone property at 2940 Shannon Winona Road to I‑1 light industrial, with staff saying the request was incompatible with the future land‑use designation. Separately, applicant Terrence Ingram withdrew his application for Z260002, a proposed Institutional‑3 supervised residential home for youth at 4531 Embry Road, after substantial neighborhood opposition.

Next steps: Recommendations will be transmitted to the Jefferson County Commission for final decisions on zoning items; subdivision and special‑use approvals proceed according to county permitting processes.
