proposed Downtown District zoning
On November 12, 2019, the Homewood Planning Commission considered a proposed amendment to the Homewood Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map to provide for a new zoning district entitled “Downtown District,” which would regulate and ensure that development projects in downtown Homewood implement the Heart of Homewood Downtown Master Plan to promote walkable, compact downtown development. The commission voted 3-2, with one member abstaining, to recommend the rezoning to City Council.
The City Council Public Hearing will be held on December 9, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at Homewood City Hall located at 2850 19th Street South, Homewood, Alabama to consider the final report and recommendation from the Planning Commission and the possible approval of the Downtown District ordinance and the Zoning Map.
At the public hearing, all persons who desire shall have an opportunity of being heard in favor of or in opposition to the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map of the City of Homewood.
A written protest by any property owner to whom notice is given to the proposed change in zoning classification may be filed with the City Clerk of the City of Homewood at 2850 19th Street South, Homewood, Alabama 35209 one (1) day prior to the public hearing. Protests must be signed by the property owner making such protest and only one protest shall be allowed for each separately assessed unit of property.

April 2019 - The Homewood Downtown Code draft one was released to the public for critique. During the week of April 23-25, 2019, the consultant team presented the draft code, collected community edits, and answered questions about how the code will operate. The team met with members of the Homewood community, downtown property owners, developers, builders, architects, the Chamber of Commerce, City Council, Planning Commission, and city staff for extensive working sessions.
January 2019 - The process has begun to update the zoning and signage code for the downtown area, in accordance with the Downtown Homewood Master Plan recommendations. View the recommendations report below, and related Homewood Star articles.
