97.24Acres
Pending

Greenbrier Pkwy E / Huntsville-Brownsferry Rd S

The largest single rezoning of the cycle, a 97.24-acre tract east of Greenbrier Pkwy and south of Huntsville-Brownsferry Rd, went to public hearing before Huntsville City Council on 05-28 under Ordinance No. 26-302. It rezones the land from Highway Business C-4 District to Residence 2 District.

What this means

This is commercially zoned land converting to residential. If it passes, roughly 97 acres that were on the books for highway business become Residence 2, so the read here is future residential inventory where commercial was planned, not commercial growth. The matter is still listed as pending with no passage recorded.

47.19Acres
Approved

Swancott Rd S / Rabbit Lane E

A 47.19-acre parcel on the south side of Swancott Rd and east of Rabbit Lane passed on 06-25, rezoned from Residence 1-B District to Residence 2 District.

What this means

Both districts are residential, so this is not an exit from residential use. It is a change in the residential standard governing the tract, which is where lot and density rules live. For 47 acres, that is the difference between one build-out pattern and another.

24.67Acres
Pending

University Dr N / Providence Main E

A 24.67-acre annexation with zoning to Highway Business C-4 District, north of University Dr and east of Providence Main St, was introduced 05-28. On 07-09 Council passed the resolution setting its public hearing, and that hearing is on the agenda for 08-27.

What this means

The 07-09 vote scheduled the hearing, it did not decide the matter. The annexation is still listed as unfinished business, so the C-4 zoning is not yet in effect. The date to watch is 08-27.

39Days out

The Leading Indicator

The University Dr / Providence Main public hearing is 39 days out, set for 08-27.

Council passed the resolution setting that hearing on 07-09. The hearing itself is on the 08-27 agenda, and the 24.67-acre annexation and its C-4 zoning are not in effect until it clears. That is a known, dated decision point on land near your office, and it is on the calendar before it reaches any listing feed.
