Greenwood Drive Commercial Rezoning and Neighborhood Impact
Residents living near 6201 Greenwood Drive raised heavy concerns about noise, traffic, and safety regarding a proposal to rezone a long, narrow residential parcel to neighborhood commercial for a construction yard.

Gulfshores Joint Venture PUD Rezoning
A developer wants to rezone property on St. Bartholomew Avenue to build a mix of housing styles, including single-family homes and townhomes with smaller lot sizes. Commissioners reviewed traffic access and fire safety to ensure the project meets city standards.
