State Route 119 Overlay District Adopted March 27, 2017
Recognizing the impact of the appearance of major corridors and their importance to the local economy, one of the primary recommendations in the Alabaster Forward Comprehensive Plan was that the City establish an overlay district and design guidelines along the State Route 119 corridor in Alabaster.
The executive summary is a condensed version of the plan designed to give the reader an idea of the "big picture" and key points of the full comprehensive plan document.
""The Comprehensive Plan for the City of Alabaster is a statement
of goals and objectives documenting the current vision for the City's
future. It is a statement of today’s values, ideals, and aspirations to
guide the City's Leadership as they make decisions affecting
the future development. A comprehensive plan is both a process
and a document.
It has three fundamental parts: 1. A consensus vision of the future: What quality of life, or image,
do we want our city to reflect? 2. A
strategy to pursue the vision: How
do we get there? 3. An
action plan to achieve the vision: How
do we get started?
As
Alabaster continues to grow and change over the coming years, the master
plan will serve as a guide for public officials, developers, and citizens, all
of whom are instrumental in reshaping the community and raising the quality of
life for the City’s current and future residents. Input and recommendations
will be sought from local stakeholders and citizens on topics such as
housing, community and civic facilities, transportation infrastructure and
services, economic development, and other pertinent matters." Mayor Handlon, City of Alabaster
