The City Council rejected the Lane Parke rezoning proposal. Keep an eye on the upcoming planning meetings to ensure the developers respect our neighborhood standards moving forward.
September 23, 2013
Final supporters
We are in favor of responsible re-development on this property, but not until many issues have been resolved, including such issues as:
- Size. Lane Parke II more than quadruples the current space in the Western shopping center.
- Green space of 25%. Lane Parke includes less than 5% public green space.
- Traffic congestion. Two intersections have been downgraded to "D" in our nationally recognized Village.
- Safety and the ability to expand Lane Parke Road in the future. All buildings along Lane Park Road, totaling over 1 1/2 football fields in length, come to the property line.
- Unworkable phasing of Phases I and II. During the two year construction of Phase II, there would be only 1 entrance/exit into the shopping center; it is on Lane Park Road.
- Passage of zoning provisions in February, 2008 contrary to the July, 2007 recommendation of the Planning Commission.
- No evidence of economic viability of the project.
- Current and expected public expenditure of moneys on the project.
- Concerns raised by Cahaba River Society about storm water analysis.

We are approaching 500 signatures and need to push harder to ensure the City Council hears our message loud and clear. Post the link to your Facebook page right now and text three neighbors who live in the village. This momentum is our best tool to stop the current Lane Parke rezoning plan.

WE NEED GREEN SPACE! 5% is a joke. This plan ignores everything that makes this town special.
Keep the village scale. Scale it back or forget it.
Too big for our village. We moved here for the small town feel not to have a massive complex tower over our streets.
Mountain Brook should be about charm and community not just packing in as much retail as possible. Please listen to the residents!
The traffic is already a total nightmare at peak hours. Adding all this density is just asking for a major accident to happen.

Ridiculous scope. It feels like they just want to maximize profits without caring one bit about how we actually have to live here.
