Huntsville Planning Commission OKs zoning for 3 ‘attainable’ housing developments

Huntsville community leaders are looking for ways to increase affordable housing options for the city’s workforce.

Two developments in the Limestone County portion of the city and one in north Huntsville may be part of the solution. The Huntsville Planning Commission approved zoning for the three at its Nov. 21 meeting.

The two Limestone County developments are near major employers including Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, Polaris and the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Greenbrier. The north Huntsville development is near Toyota Motor Manufacturing and other employers in the North Huntsville Industrial Park and potential future employers along the Northern Bypass that is under construction.

Enfinger Development is the developer of the two Limestone County developments. Diltina is involved with the north Huntsville development.

The largest of the developments is a recently annexed 94.82-acre site south of Swancott Road and west of Rabbit Lane called the Hargrave Development. The commission approved Residence 2 and Residence 2B zonings for the property.
