CITY COUNCIL COVER SHEET
November 6, 2015
ZC 15.14 Public Hearing to consider the request of Hutchison, Moore and
Rauch, LLC to amend the Colony at the Grand TR (Tourism Resort)
District. The property is located on the north side of Battles Road,
just west of the intersection of Section Street and Battles Road.
STAFF INTERPRETATION:
The subject property is located in the City of Fairhope and is zoned TR (Tourist
Resort) District. This property contains approximately 184.6 ± acres. The
applicant is proposing to modify the previously approved TR District, known as
the Colony at the Grand.
An additional 1.9 acre Low Rise (LR) area is proposed to come into the existing
approximate 184.6 acres, which will result in a total acreage of approximately
186.5 acres. The additional acreage added is proposed to be the Azalea at the
Colony Subdivision, which will be annexed into the City and consist of six (6)
single family lots that conform to the minimum lot and layout standards outlined
in the TR District Regulations for the Colony at the Grand. The additional land is
contiguous with the TR District; per the TR District provisions in the Zoning
Ordinance, the subject 1.9 acres can be added to the existing Land Use Map.
The only other portion of the subject TR District amendment includes an
approximate area of 34.4 acres (a 29.2 acre area and. an additional 5.2 acre
area) that was previously dedicated as Mid -Rise Zone and is now proposed to be
a Low -Rise Zone.
It appears that this change will add a bit more consistency to the development as
a whole, and it is in character with the surrounding, existing development. It
appears a reduction in overall density for the entire Colony at the Grand TR
District will occur as a result in changing a substantial amount of Mid -Rise
acreage to Low -Rise acreage.
All aspects of the Colony at the Grand TR District shall remain as is, unless
otherwise specified in the subject application.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On November 2, 2015, with an 8 to one 1 vote, the Planning Commission
recommended the City Council approve the proposed amendment to the Colony
at the Grand TR district.
Respectfully Submitted for Consideration,
/?Z la ✓ cY.
