Summary of Request:
Applicants, Clifford M . Street, Jr . and Kendall Charles Street, as co-trustees of the Street Living Trust, request
the subject property be rezoned from R-1, Low Density Single Family Residential District to Highway
Transitional District ("HTD"). The property consists of four (4) parcels (PPINs: 267236, 257637, 356677, and
356679) totaling+/-3.5 acres. The parcels straddle the entrance to Huntington Woods on Farringdon
Boulevard, off of South Greeno Road (US Hwy 98). There is one (1) parcel located north of Farringdon
Boulevard and the rest are situated south of Farringdon Boulevard. See below.
Applicants contend that the property is better suited for commercial/business use, which is the intent of the
Highway Transitional District, rather than as residential use . Moreover, some of the parcels are taxed as
commercial by the Baldwin County Revenue Commission. Applicants would like the opportunity to
potentially build office space(s) on the parcels justifying their request. This is merely the rezoning request
and there are no imminent plans for development at this time .
Site History:
Three (3) of four (4) of the parcels are currently vacant. The southernmost parcel has a well-established ice
machine located on its South Greeno Road facing side . The ice machine was placed on the southernmost
parcel prior to the R-1 zoning designation and was more or less grandfathered in . See below.

However, commercial use beyond the ice mach i ne has not come to fruition.

Dimension Standards: Article V, Section l (S){b) calls for the following setbacks in the HTD, all of wh ich can be
accomplished in each of the four (4) parcels.
b . S etba cks
i .Front Setback shall be2O ·.
ii .Rear Setb ack hall be 20·.
iii .Side. s etbacks shall be 10 ·.
Maximum building heights of 30' or 35' shall be applicable to any buildings on the parcels.
Parking shall be located behind the front building line if and when buildings are anticipated.
Per subsection (e), any stand -alone single use or tenant retail building shall not exceed an 8Kft2
footprint.
Subsection (f) states that "all lands within twenty (20) feet of the boundaries of U.S. Highway 98 ,
Alabama Highway 104, and Alabama Highway 181 ... are required to be reserved by owners or
developers ... as greens pace and tree protection zones ... " If there is no other vegetation beyond grass at
the time of development, then new landscaping and plantings shall be installed at the time of the
development . Said landscaping and plantings shall be approved by the City Horticulturalist.
The City of Fairhope Tree Ordinance considers the HTD as commercial/bus i ness regardless of the ac t ual
use .
Pursuant to Article II , Section C(l) "Zoning Amendments," subsection (e) "Criteria" t h e applicat io n shall be
reviewed based on the following criteria:
(1) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Response: The current Comprehensive Land Use Plan (c i rca 2016) supports a village concept with
village centers containing the highest intensity of business uses with commercial nodes located on
Greeno Road, Highway 181, and Section Street. The preferred plan places village centers at North
Village (current Fly Creek PUD), Greeno Road, intersection of Fairhope Avenue and Highway 181, and
downtown, with downtown considered the ultimate village center. The nearest v i llage nodes are
located at Greeno Road and Twin Beech Road and Greeno Road and County Road 32 . An additional
node is at Section Street and County Road 34 . The "subject" property is triangulat ed among the
aforementioned commerc ial nodes . See below.
The subject property is not appropriate for a full -blown commercial node; however, staff does believe
the property is appropriate for HTD by definition and location.

2016 Comprehensive Land Use Plan -Preferred Use Land Map
(2) Compliance with the standards, goals, and intent of this ordinance;
Response: Currently, all the parcels are zoned R-1. R-1 is most likely not the best use for smaller
parcels that directly front a major highway since R-1 is a more appropriate designation for larger
parcels. Moreover, "screening" is an important attribute that runs throughout this ordinance and HTD
requires the first twenty (20) feet of the parcel from the highways be vegetated beyond that of just
grass; whereas, R-1 does not. Also, HTD is transitional and these parcels ease the transition from busy
highway to the resi dential subdivision beh in d them.
(3) The character of the surrounding property, including any pending development activity;
Response: Each parcel fronts S. Greeno Road (US Hwy 98). Each parcel is backed by the Huntington
Woods subdivision . Parcels north of the stand-alone northern parcel are zoned R-1 . There are two (2)

(4) Adequacy of public infrastructure to support the proposed development;
Response: There is no proposed development at this time. At least one (1) parcel {ice machine) is
energized. Future development project{s) shall confirm the adequacy of the public infrastructure.
(5) Impacts on natural resources, including existing conditions and ongoing post-development
conditions;
Response: The Applicants have no known plans of construction or redevelopment at this time.
(6) Compliance with other laws and regulations of the City;
Response: Rezoning complements the Tree Ordinance. At the time of any redevelopment all applicable
laws of the city will be applied . If granted, any use within HTD zoning will be allowed 'by right '.
(7) Compliance with other applicable laws and regulations of other jurisdictions;
Response: At the time of redevelopment all applicable laws will be applied .
(8) Impacts on adjacent property including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential physical impacts,
and property values; and,
Response: Applicants do not have any immediate plans for development. Nonetheless, the parcels are
situated in an area that fits the bill for HTD by definition. If the property is developed commercially there
very well may be potential impacts; however, any future building permits will be reviewed by staff prior
to any construction and development shall follow all of the appropriate setbacks, footprints, and buffers .
In addition, since the parcels front a major highway then ALDOT will also weigh in on any future
development plans .
(9) Impacts on the surrounding neighborhood including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential
physical impacts, and property values.
Response: Since this is a straight rezoning request where a solidified future use and/or site plan is not
yet even fully contemplated then it is impossible for staff to determine any specific impacts on the
surrounding neighborhood although it is reasonable to assume that there will be some impacts with
any future development. Nonetheless, any future development will have various approval processes
where these concerns and more will be thoroughly vetted .
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of ZC 22.16 .

Case ZC 22 .16

SENT FROM AN EXTERNAL ADDRESS
Hello,
With the Thanksgiving Holiday, there really was not enough time to properly draft a response
to the letter recently received regarding the above requested rezone.
However, as an impacted homeowner, as well as a representative of the almost hundred
member HOA , we are VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED to this zoning change! None of our key
concerns , such as traffic and the safety of our children , have changed. In fact , they have been
increasingly exacerbated by the additional traffic due to residential development behind ours
and the overall influx of area development. In addition , commercial driveways would not be
feasi ble off Farringdon as it is a tree lin ed entrance that we maintain. Placing the entrances off
of Highway 98 would only add to everyone's nightmare of school traffic as it is across the
street from the main high school entrance . Keeping the current zoning is the only common
sense choice .
Thank you for your consideration,
Jacqueline Turner
Erik Perrin, Huntington Woods Resident
Mr. Perrin called on November 28 th• 2022, to voice his opinion regarding Case ZC 22 .16, the rezoning of
the Street property to HTD . He stated that he was not against the rezoning, he would like to the see the
property develop, but did ask that the ingress/egress for the lots be located on Greeno Road rather than
Farringdon Boulevard and entrance to the Huntington Woods Subdivision. He added that there is a lot of
traffic from Old Battles Village being developed .
