UDC Next Steps
After the informal comment period for Version 3 and the subsequent edit period, draft Version 4 will be released. At that time, the formal hearing and adoption process begins. Regarding the adoption of the new zoning code, Alabama state law requires at least two public hearings – one with the Planning Commission and one with the City Council.
How is it that I, and probably many others, are just now hearing about this plan? Please send me the information in some form that makes sense. What I see here does not make sense to me because I am not familiar with what has been happening. I cannot even find a map showing the changes even when I click on what should give me a map. I just get some more stuff that is not understandable to me. One that I clicked on, gave me Shayla Beaco’s email and not the map. I had to sent her and email asking for the map. Also, I cannot get hold of her at the number listed and leave her a message because her message box is full.. That should be the first thing she does every morning, noon, and evening.
