Dothan proposing regulations to guide grand vision for Highway 84 East Corridor

Designers presented regulations to the public to guide growth, and enforce its plan, along the busy highway while reminding people of the city’s grand vision of a suburban dreamscape that promotes new businesses and is friendly to pedestrians.

It also promotes greater diversity of land uses and building typologies resulting in districts containing access to daily needs in close proximity to each other, including places to live, work, recreate, eat, shop, and socialize. New planning and zoning regulations, in the form of overlay districts, are intended to be the framework for areas with the potential of commercial and residential development.

“One of the big focuses is kind of to deregulate things a little bit,” Frank Breaux, principal city planner, said. “Another big piece is to keep it simple.” The proposal also states that the goal is to prioritize the design and form of buildings and de-emphasize the specific use of the building in an effort to support market adaptation.
