Each meeting of the Dothan Planning Commission seems to get shorter and shorter. There were a grand total of four business items on Wednesday’s agenda, and the meeting was over in about 20 minutes.
Items approved include a recommendation to rezone 0.87 acre at the corner of Third Avenue and Trim Street from M-1 (manufacturing) to R-50–S (residential). Pending rezoning approval by the Dothan City Commission, this parcel will be divided into six residential lots for home building. The other two items, both approved, were the expansion of an animal hospital on South Oates Street and re-plat of a small parcel on North Herring Street.
A proposed new zoning, designated O-2A, was presented to the commission by the planning office. The new zone could by used in situtations similar to a denied request last month, where residential property adjoins high traffic, more commercial areas. The home or property that was looked at last month is on the corner of Ross Clark Circle and Kent Drive. It is basically uninhabitable as a residence because it is so close to a major roadway, but the neighbors objected to it being rezoned because current zoning left too many possibilities of businesses that could locate there. This new zoning would fix a problem that effects several areas around Dothan.
The Dothan Eagle has some more details on the proposed O-2A zoning. The Planning Commission will vote on this next month, and if approved, it will go to the full Dothan City Commission for a vote.
