Zoning Approved For 120 Townhomes, New Businesses On US 280
The Hoover City Council on Monday night approved zoning of 15.7 acres along U.S. 280 for homes and businesses.
HOOVER, AL — More than 15 acres along U.S. 280 has been re-zoned by the Hoover City Cuncil to make way for a major construction project. The property directly across from the Walmart Supercenter will be the site of 120 townhomes and three commercial buildings, according to a Hoover Sun report.
The area is not entirely within the Hoover city limits and the developer, Signature Homes, has asked that the city annex the property into Hoover. The Hoover City Council on Monday night set a public hearing for March 7 to consider the annexation request.
Jonathan Belcher of Signature Homes said the residential portion of the development is expected to be a $40 million project. Some local residents objected to the project, citing potential traffic issues that add to the existing congestion neat Highway 119 and along U.S. 280.
