13 November 2006
City Attorney Marion E. (Tut) Wynne suggested looking at various subdivision
covenants for guidance in this matter.
2. Short Tenn Rentals - Another growing issue — A growing number of single
family homes are being turned into short tern rentals.
Bed and Breakfasts are only allowed to operate within B-3a code zoning.
From the Lodging Ordinance
There is hereby levied and imposed, in addition to all other taxes of every kind
now imposed by law, a privilege or license tax upon every person, firm, or
corporation engaging in the business of renting or furnishing any room or rooms,
lodgings, or accommodations to transients in any hotel, motel, inn, tourist camp,
tourist cabin or any other place in which rooms, lodgings, or accommodations are
regularly furnished to transients for a consideration, in an amount to be
determined by the application of the rate of for (4%) percent of the charge for
such room, rooms, lodgings, or accommodations, including the charge for use or
rental of personal property and services furnished in such room. The tax shall
not apply to rooms, lodgings or accommodations supplied for a period of thirty
(30) continuous days or more in any place
Staff requests guidance from the City Council regarding Short Term Rentals.
Gulf Shores - Policy on short-term rentals — Gulf Shores does not have any policy on short-term
rentals. It would be very difficult to enforce. (AB).
Orange Beach — Policy on short-term rentals — No specific policy on short-term rentals. When a real-
estate company handles rentals, a lodging tax is imposed on the renter. In a place like Bear Point,
individual homeowners rent their homes out; a lodging tax is likely not imposed on the renter. There are
no special districts that address short-term rentals.
Mobile — Policy on Short-term rentals — No policy.
Single Family - Another growing issue — The number of persons living in one
residence.
From the Zoning Ordinance - Family: One (1) or more persons occupying a single
dwelling unit and using common cooking facilities, provided that, unless all members are
related by blood, adoption or marriage, no such family shall contain over five (5) persons, but
that such family may also include gratuitous guests and servants in addition.
Mr. Mims stated to keep in mind that certain language such as ..... include gratuitous
guests and servants in addition, make it difficult to enforce certain ordinances.
Gulf Shores — Policy on what constitutes a "single family" — No more than 4 unrelated people are allowed to live
in a single dwelling unit. The term "unrelated" is not specifically defined in any policy or regulation.
Orange Beach — Policy on what constitutes a "single-family" — They adopted the 2003 International Property and
Maintenance Code. Only so many people per square foot, per bedroom, in Section 4 of the 2003 International
Property and Maintenance Code. A minimum of 70 square feet of bedroom space per person.
a%%
13 November 2006
Mobile — Policy on what constitutes a "single-family" — A group of people related by blood or marriage. No
more than 4 unrelated people living under one roof (per unit). There are also building code provisions that would
limit the number of people under one roof based on buildings' square footage.
Staff requests guidance from the City Council regarding single-family issues, and
requests updating this ordinance.
Moratorium Issues —
Mr. Mims stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission will adopt the revised
Comprehensive Plan at their next scheduled meeting and will forward it to the City
Council for the January 2007 meeting.
1. The issues with duplicating regulations of the city and county are being
worked on.
2. Subdivision Regulations — the first workshop will be held on Tuesday,
November 21, 2006.
Impact Fee — Sometime in December 2006, the first meeting will be held
regarding impact fees. An ordinance must be written, studied, and adopted.
Mr. Mims stated that the moratorium will end December 261" at 5:00 p.m., and the
City Council must think about if the moratorium needs to be extended for a short
period of time. Mr. Mims stated that the City would be pushed to get all the reports
and publications done regarding the moratorium issues before December 26, 2006.
The City is going to need more time to get everything done and done right, Mr. Mims
suggests that the City Council look at extending the moratorium for 60 to 90 days.
Mr. Mims requests to work with Hand Arendall and City Attorney Mr. Wynne to
write a resolution requesting an Attorney General Opinion on how to handle Condos
and Apartments within the Planning Jurisdiction and how to regulate family
subdivisions, family members who deed their property to other family members.

Council President Gentle announced that an e-mail was received from Brooks
DeLaney requesting, RLF Baldwin Properties, LLC request to zoned M-2 General
Industrial District concurrent with annexation into the City of Fairhope, be pulled
from the agenda. A Public Hearing was held October 23, 2006.
A Public Hearing was held as advertised on a proposed ordinance to amend
the Zoning Ordinance No. 1253. Councilmember Quinn introduced in writing
Ordinance No. 1321, an ordinance to zone the property of Point Clear Development,
LLC, as R-5 High density Dwelling Residential District, concurrent with annexation.
This property is located at 18160 South Section Street, Fairhope, AL. Parcel Contains
40.7077 acres, more or less. 05-46-09-29-0-000-061.000. Battles Point
Condnminium_
Jonathan Smith with the Planning Department addressed the City Council and explained the
proposed ordinance.
STAFFINTERPRETATION:
The subject property is located in Baldwin County and is un-zoned. The property contains approximately 40.70±
acres. The applicant is requesting an initial zoning of R-5 (High Density Dwelling Residential District) concurrent
upon Conditional Annexation.
The applicant has agreed to cap the maximum allowed density for the property at five (5) units per acre.
The applicant has presented staff with a conceptual site plan for the property. The conceptual plan includes a
multi -family development with an approximate density of 4.8 units per acre. Amenities shown on the conceptual
plan include: an elaborate network of pedestrian circulation paths, Gazebos, an abundance of open space, a pool
and a "preliminary common building".
Immediately to the East, the site abuts the Huntington PUD (Planned Unit Development). The Huntington PUD
consists of 175 acres and 540 lots, which brings the overall site density to approximately three (3) units per acre.
South of the site is un-zoned County land. The "Cottages at Point Clear" multi -family development with a density
of 3.6 units per acre, and The Meadows subdivision, which consists of 71 lots on 34.6 acres are also located just
south of the site. West is Section Street, un-zoned County land, and single-family residential homes. Un-zoned
County Land lies to the North.
The issues associated with this request are as follows:
Density: Staff believes that the density for the subject site should be capped at five (5) units per acre. A
maximum density of five (5) units per acre will provide a gradual density buffer from Section Street to the
Huntington PUD development, and if the project were to proceed being un-zoned in the County, the applicant
could potentially build approximately six (6) units per acre.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The application was heard at the October 02, 2006 Planning Commission Meeting.
The Planning Commission recommends the Council approve the R-5 (High Density Dwelling Residential District)
zoning request contingent upon the following condition:
1. Maximum allowed density for the subject property shall be five (5) units per acre.
Respectfully Submitted for Consideration,
Jonathan I. Smith, Planner - City of Fairhope

consideration. Seconded by Councilmember Christenberry, motion passed for

A Public Hearing was held as advertised on a proposed ordinance to amend
the Zoning Ordinance No. 1253. Councilmember Christenberry introduced in writing
Ordinance No. 1322, an ordinance to amend the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
for North Village at Stone Creek (Ordinance No. 1301). This property is located
north of Stone Creek Subdivision, west of State Highway 181 (aka County Road 27),
Fairhope, Alabama. Parcel Contains 63.61 acres more or less. 46-07-26-0-000-
002.000. North Village at Stone Creek.
Jonathan Smith with the Planning Department addressed the City Council and
explained the proposed ordinance.
C�IT�YI►i��777���lrL�]:F
The subject property is located in the City of Fairhope and is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development).
This property contains approximately 63.61± acres. The applicant is proposing to modify the previously
approved North Village at Stone Creek PUD.
The proposed major modifications consist of transferring residential density from the commercial phase
of the project to the residential phase of the project, increasing the Western project buffer along
Highway 181 by 45 feet (from 90 feet to 135 feet), reducing the number of mini -storage units in the
development, adding a clubhouse and pool, reducing the number of commercial buildings and
transferring the mini -storage unit phase of the project to the Northwestern -most phase.
The 30 residential units that were above retail in the previously approved PUD have been incorporated
into the large residential phase to the East. Essentially, the applicant is proposing to take the mixed use
out of the commercial phase and transfer/increase the density for the residential phase. Overall
residential density for the project will not increase. The approved PUD and the Modified Site Plan both
show a total of 110 residential units.
In the previously approved PUD, the mini -storage phase was located between the Northwestern -most
phase of commercial and the large Eastern phase, which consists primarily of residential units and
retention ponds. Twelve (12) mini -storage buildings were approved in the original North Village at
Stone Creek PUD; the applicant is now proposing eight (8) mini -storage buildings, and the impervious
area of the mini -storage buildings appears to have been reduced.
Overall impervious area for the project has been decreased from 17.28 acres (27%) to 14.36 acres
(23%), and Total Upland Common Area has been increased from 20.23 acres to 23.15 acres.
3995
13 November 2006
Ten (10) commercial buildings, excluding the mini -storage buildings, have been approved; the applicant
is proposing to reduce the number of commercial buildings from ten (10) to six (6).
Immediately abutting the property to the South is the existing Stone Creek PUD development, to the
North lays un-zoned County land and R-2 property zoned in the City of Fairhope; to the West is State
Highway 181, and to the East is un-zoned County land.
The issues associated with this request are as follows:
Buffers: The applicant should provide an eight -foot opaque fence inside of the 20 foot landscaped buffer on the
North and East sides of the mini -storage building phase. The applicant has agreed to leave all existing vegetation
in the proposed 135-foot buffer between the mini -storage building area and State Highway 181.
• Per the applicant, ALDOT is planning on increasing the Highway 181 Right of Way in this particular
location by approximately 80 feet on the East side, therefore, a 55-foot natural buffer will end up
separating the site from the State Highway 181 Right of Way.
Traffic: ALDOT has required the applicant to provide a "left in and deceleration lane" into the site from State
Highway 181.
Mini -Storage Buildings: Staff recommends incorporating an architectural fagade into the South and West sides
of the mini -storage buildings that could potentially be seen from Highway 181 and the main entrance into the
project.
Wetlands: Staff believes that all buildings in the development should be setback from the wetlands a minimum of
20 feet.
Planning Commission: The Planning Commission heard This Case on October 02, 2006; staff made the
following recommendations:
Staff recommends approval contingent upon the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall provide and 8-foot privacy fence inside of the 20-foot buffer on the North
and East sides of the mini -storage building phase.
2. Architectural facades shall be incorporated into the sides and faces of the mini -storage
buildings that can be seen from Highway 181 and the main entrance into the development.
3. All buildings in the development shall be setback from the wetlands on the site by at -least 20
feet.
4. All materials used for site grading and building pads shall be in compliance with the City of
Fairhope's Red Soil and Clay Ordinance.
The Planning Commission approved the application with conditions two (2) and four (4). Conditions one
(1) and three (3) were not deemed necessary by a majority of the Commission and were omitted from
the Planning Commission's recommendation to the City Council.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve the project contingent upon the
following conditions:
1. Architectural facades shall be incorporated into the sides and faces of the mini -storage
buildings that can be seen from Highway 181 and the main entrance into the development.
2. All materials used for site grading and building pads shall be in compliance with the City of
Fairhope's Red Soil and Clay Ordinance.
