Council discusses future Cahaba Heights businesses
During a March 9 meeting, the City Council approved the rezoning of several properties along Dolly Ridge Road from residential to neighborhood mixed-used.
One property is located at 4300 Dolly Ridge Road near Manor Brook Drive. Owners Troy and Barbara Peters are seeking to build a 2400 square foot orthodontic office. The owners proposed five spots to be accessed off of Manor Brook Drive as well as constructing the beginning of a shared parking facility with a neighboring parcel. The parking proposed meets the minimum parking requirements for a medical office. The design is being prepared by Pressnell Engineering.
The second property is located directly adjacent to Cahaba Heights Elementary School on Dolly Ridge Road. The owners have submitted two development plans for a future dermatology practice. The preferred plan builds on the previously approved design to the building to the south. The second plan shows a distinct break to the building to the south with slip parking in the front.
