Summary

The commission recommended rezoning 3+/- acres at 1510 S. Juniper St. from R-2 to PO to allow a Gulf Coast Therapy office; staff required a wetland delineation prior to development and a nearby resident voiced no opposition.

The City of Foley Planning Commission unanimously recommended rezoning a roughly 3-acre parcel at 1510 S. Juniper St. from R-2 (Residential Single Family and Duplex) to PO (Preferred Office District) during its March 18 meeting.

A resident, Wesley Cowan, attended the public hearing and said he lives north of the property but did not oppose the rezoning. A representative of Gulf Coast Therapy (not named in the minutes) said the practice has operated in Foley for 12 years, plans to provide one-on-one therapy with approximately two therapists, will not operate on holidays or weekends, and is preparing to make the rear of the building the main entrance; the representative said they would discuss fencing options with the neighbor. City Planner Miriam Boone told the commission that staff recommended approval and that a wetland delineation would be required prior to any development.

Commissioner Calvin Hare moved to recommend the requested rezoning to the Mayor and Council; Commissioner Phillip Hinesley seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

The minutes do not record any conditions beyond the wetland delineation requirement and the commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Mayor and Council for final action.
