There were only a few new items in front of the Dothan Planning Commission at this month’s meeting. Development plans for a new Quality Inn near Southeast Alabama Medical Center and the re-approval of plans for Highland Hills Apartments, to be located at the intersection of Flowers Chapel Road and Brannon Stand Road. The plans for Highland Hills were approved a year ago, but since the project has yet to be started, plans had to be re-approved before they expired.

By far the most discussion was over a rezoning request for a property located at the corner of Kent Drive and Ross Clark Circle. For all intents and purposes, the property is unusable as a residence because of traffic and noise. However, residential zoning is across the street and next door, making rezoning the property to office usage something the Planning Commission was unwilling to do. There was a call for a new zoning for transitional properties such as this by the commission.

Other items approved were the recommendation for rezoning of 9.4 acres between South Oates Street and Hodgesville Road to B-2 district, and 52 acres on the east side of the 2500 block of Ross Clark Circle to B-2 district.
