BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background:
An election was held on June 6, 2023, to determine whether or not Planning and Zoning District 14 should come under the Planning and Zoning jurisdiction of the Baldwin County Commission. In the election, 656 yes votes and 365 no votes were cast therefore, the Planning and Zoning District 14 will be placed under the planning and zoning jurisdiction of the Baldwin County Commission. On June 13, 2023, the Honorable Harry D’Olive, Jr., Judge of Probate, certified the results of the election.
Pursuant to Section 45-2-261.08 of the Code of Alabama, the Baldwin County Commission must now appoint an advisory committee from the new district to work with and assist the Baldwin County Planning Commission in formulating and developing regulations, ordinances, and zoning measures for the district. The advisory committee must consist of five members who are qualified electors of the district and who reflect, as nearly as practical, the diversity of land use in the district.
Planning and Zoning staff sought out possible committee members from the community. Interested individuals were asked to complete a form and return it to Planning and Zoning staff.
Planning and Zoning Staff confirmed the voter registration status of interested individuals.
After the committee members have been appointed, Planning and Zoning staff will schedule committee meetings beginning in late July 2023. Early plans are to hold meetings on Thursday mornings from 9 AM to 11 AM at the Baldwin County Central Annex until a zoning map and ordinance is ready for presentation to the Commission. Below is a tentative meeting schedule. The five individuals recommended by staff have confirmed their availability under the proposed schedule.
• Thursday, July 20, 2023, 9 AM to 11 AM
• Thursday, July 27, 2023, 9 AM to 11 AM
