On Wednesday October 3, the Birmingham Planning Commission recommended the Woodlawn Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Plan for approval by the City Council. Several residents and business people showed up to give their support for the revitalization initiative, which would be bolstered by creation of the Redevelopment District. The Commission also recommended approval of a set of zoning changes with the plan.
Final approval of the Woodlawn plan and zoning initiative is now in the hands of the City Council. City planning staff, KPS and the Woodlawn Foundation will meet with the City Council's Planning and Zoning Committee October 10 at 4pm to review the plan and rezoning in advance of the Council's public hearing in November. The date of the public hearing will likely be determined at the Council meeting on October 17.
