Episode Details

Tuscaloosa City Council just approved a zoning change for 4.6 acres on Hargrove Road East, shifting it from SFR-1 to SFR-4 to allow for more residential options — but not for any specific project like the previously proposed 24 townhomes. Neighbors fear increased traffic on 34th Ave E and Hargrove Rd, citing concerns that an earlier traffic study may have been skewed by students being away. The developer defended the study, calling it compliant and accurate, while acknowledging they’ve missed recent community meetings. They also argued the rezoning could unlock affordable housing for younger buyers. Despite the Planning and Zoning Commission previously opposing the change, the council voted 4-2 to move forward — meaning future development proposals will still need approval and updated traffic analysis. What’s actually built? Still TBD.
