ZC 24.04 Rezoning 53 N. Church Street from R‐2 to B‐3(b) July 1, 2024
Summary of Request:
Owner/applicant, Kathryn Mull, requests the subject property be rezoned from R‐2, Medium Density Single
Family Residential District to B‐3(b), Tourist Resort Commercial District. David Martin is an authorized agent
for the case. The property is located at 53 N. Church Street. Subject Property is not within the Central Business
District (“CBD”). Applicant desires to keep the single‐family home and build a garage with an accessory
dwelling unit to be utilized as a short‐term rental, which is allowed in B‐3b, but not in R‐2. See Ordinance No.
1336.
Article III, Section A(13):

ZC 24.04 Rezoning 53 N. Church Street from R‐2 to B‐3(b) July 1, 2024
Comments:
The subject property currently has six (6) bedrooms and five (5) bathrooms as a single‐family home. The
subject property is a lone parcel sandwiched between R‐4 Low Density Multi‐Family and B‐3b zoning, both of
which allow short term rentals. It backs up to R‐2 zoning. Applicant desires B‐3b zoning so that they may
build a garage with an accessory dwelling unit to rent as a short‐term rental. Subject property is across the
street from the CBD, which also allows for short term rentals.
As with any request for a zoning map amendment, we must consider the initial desire, as well as how the
property may be utilized in the future. Staff feels a single‐family home, with a unit above the garage used as
a short‐term rental, is appropriate for the neighborhood. However, conversion of the house into a six‐unit
rental, for example, would be a change in use and require appropriate reviews.
A Re‐Zoning Request is considered a Zoning Map Amendment and the application is reviewed pursuant to the
Criteria in Art. II, Section B(1)(e).
(1) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Response: The 2015 Comprehensive Plan states that downtown Fairhope is the ultimate Village Center.
The subject property is adjacent to the central business district. Adjacent properties are zoned R‐4 and
B‐3b. Being adjacent to downtown, and considering the adjacent uses, Staff feels this request meets
the form, function, and design standards because it is a source for both tourists and locals.
(2) Compliance with the standards, goals, and intent of this ordinance;
Response: Meets. Some allowable uses are not ideal for this location and use changes will be vetted
accordingly. For example, office space or outdoor recreation would not be ideal for this location although
they are both allowed uses within B‐3b.
(3) The character of the surrounding property, including any pending development activity;
Response: Meets. The only development activity currently considered is an additional detached garage
with a second‐story rental unit. Required buffers and twenty (20) foot setbacks provide protection from
adjacent residential property. Future changes in use should be carefully reviewed for impacts to the
character of the surrounding property.
(4) Adequacy of public infrastructure to support the proposed development;
Response: Meets. Already an existing structure with utilities. If Applicant plans to add more units, or
separate the existing single‐family resident into multiple units, then that may require additional
demands on infrastructure.
(5) Impacts on natural resources, including existing conditions and ongoing post‐development
conditions;
Response: Meets. This zoning change will not negatively impact natural resources or current/future
conditions. The Zoning Ordinance and Tree Ordinance already provide protections to adjacent residential
property by way of setbacks and landscape buffers.
Page 33 of 263

ZC 24.04 Rezoning 53 N. Church Street from R‐2 to B‐3(b) July 1, 2024
(5) Compliance with other laws and regulations of the City;
Response: Meets. Any future development is subject to all applicable laws of the
City.
(6) Compliance with other applicable laws and regulations of other jurisdictions;
Response: Meets. Any future development is subject to all applicable laws.
(7) Impacts on adjacent property including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential physical impacts,
and property values; and
Response: By restricting some of the more intense uses staff does not anticipate any significant issues
relating to this criterion currently. Subject property is the lone R‐2 on either side of this block of Church
Street; whereas, the rest of the properties are zoned R‐4, B‐3b or B‐2.
(8) Impacts on the surrounding neighborhood including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential
physical impacts, and property values.
Response: With the existing regulations, as well as restricting some of the more intense uses, staff does
not anticipate any significant issues relating to this criterion currently. However, changes in use should
be considered carefully. For example, Church St does not have on‐street parking. Additional units would
need to accommodate parking on‐site if the use were approved.
Uses allowed in B‐3b from Table 3‐1 of the Zoning Ordinance are summarized below.
Dwelling
Single‐Family (‘By‐right’)
Two‐family (‘By‐right’)
Multifamily/Apartment (‘Permitted on Appeal and subject to special conditions’)

ZC 24.05 Rezoning Lot 1 of Rockwell Place from R-1 to B-2 July 1, 2024
Comments:
The subject property is 11.79 acres. The subject property, proposed to be zoned as B-2, will most likely be subdivided
again creating commercial lots. At that time the infrastructure will be studied more and a condition of this approval is
that when the subject property is further subdivided then each subdivided site will have a mandatory Site Plan Review.
This property is located between the Encounter Commercial Subdivision to the direct South and the Harvest Green
East PUD to the North. Directly East are the Rockwell Place Apartments.
The aforementioned developments plus the Publix at Planter’s Pointe across AL Hwy 181 required significant road
infrastructure that is still in play (Rockwell Blvd off of Hwy 181).

RE: Bid No. 24-053-2024-PWI-010 John Martin Nature Center
Richard,
As the architect of record for the John Martin Nature, I attended the bid opening pm
August 1, 2024 and offer the following summary and recommendations. Bids were
received from the following 3 contractors by the deadline on August 1, 2024.
Dyas Construction Management LLC
J Payne Organization, LLC
Klarman and Day General Contractors LLC
The bid tabulation is attached below. Bid Alternate #1 was for a screened porch
addition and Bid Alternate #2 was for standing seam metal roofing in lieu of asphalt
shingle roofing.
General Contractor Base Bid Bid Alternate #1 Bid Alternate #2
Dyas Construction
Management LLC
$862,235.47 $35,000 $20,000
J. Payne
Organization LLC
$826,200.00 $26,300 $78,800
Klarman and Day
General
Contractors LLC
$1,140,242.00 $98,200 $55,000
All bids were complete, including the required bonds, grant funded items checklist and
acknowledgement of addenda. J.Payne did not include three quotes for two of the
grant funded items in their bid form, but based on the grant requirements, that could
be addressed after award.
Page 119 of 263
W A T E R S H E D, Building Sustainability 302 Magnolia Avenue Fairhope, AL www.watershed.pro 251.929.0514
The base bids from J.Payne Organization and Dyas Construction Management LLC are
within 5% of each other, which gives us some confidence in the accuracy of the bids.
However the bids for add alternate #2 are unbalanced. Since the standing seam metal
roof is not essential to the use and function of the Nature Center, we recommend
removing Bid Alternate #3 from consideration.
The numbers for the Base Bid and Bid Alternate #1 are still well outside of FY2024 +
the requested FY2025 Budgets. However, the building includes 5,558 SF total area
under roof. There are significant cost drivers associated with rehabilitating and
upgrading the overall building envelope, including a fire sprinkler system,
reinforcement of the load path, and HVAC replacement. Based on what we are seeing
with similar projects in this region, we feel that the overall investment would yield a
good value to the city, and will serve the new park well, with room for future expansion
within the envelope.
It may be possible to seek out cost savings with the GC who is awarded the contract,
but that kind of value engineer effort rarely results in cost savings greater than 10%.
There’s a consensus among the team that a rebid would likely result in the same or
potentially higher costs.
Considering the above information, we respectfully recommend that the City of
Fairhope award this project to J. Payne Organization LLC, for the low bid amount of
$826,200, and accept Add Alternate #1 for $26,300.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Dunn Bryant, AIA
