Not a whole lot on the agenda for this month’s meeting of the Dothan Planning Commission, continuing the trend.
A request for approval of development plans for the business/office section of Grove Park were tabled until September. In addition to the questions about traffic and parking, it seems the property in question was not platted correctly when the original subdivision was done.
The recommendation was made to rezone 10.63 acres near the intersection of East Main Street (U.S. Highway 84 East) and North Beverly Road. The parcel is actually part of a larger parcel already zoned for business. This area is experiencing a lot of commercial growth recently, as two new strip centers have been built in the last few years just up the road near Southeast Alabama Medical Center, and SAMC is working on plans to develop their large parcel of land across Main Street from this parcel.
The Planning Commission also recommended to the City Commission the creation of a special type of Office zoning. There has been a need for this change and it was brought to the forefront at the June meeting when a rezoning request was turned down for a property on Kent Drive.
While not on the Planning Commission schedule this month, expect to see development plans for a couple of new shopping centers near the intersection of West Main Street and John D. Odom Road in the near future. The Dothan Eagle has a few details of what may be in the works for this area.
