SECOND ADDITION
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motions:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution Number 2019-005 entitled a Resolution Approving A PUD
Amendment to Exhibit 7 of The Outlets at Albertville Second Addition Planned Unit
Development Agreement and The Introduction of The Crossing Church on Lot 1 Block 1 Outlets
of Albertville Second Addition Located Within the City of Albertville
BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Commission met and held a public hearing on
January 8, 2019 to consider PUD Amendment requests of The Crossing Church.
The City of Albertville was approached by The Crossing Church and the Outlets of Albertville to
discuss allowing the church to lease two commercial tenant bays in the Outlets of Albertville
Second Addition (The Promenade Mall east of County Road 19). Currently, the list of allowed
land uses for this PUD does not include any commercial assembly uses such as conference
centers, banquet halls, theaters, etc. As such, churches are not allowed within the PUD. In order
to accommodate the church's request, the term "Hospitality Business" must be added within the
PUD Agreement.
Upon review of the staff report and hearing public testimony, the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council approve the PUD Amendment to Exhibit 7 for Lot 1, Block
1 in the Outlets at Albertville Second Addition, allowing for "Hospitality Businesses" to be
added to the list of allowed uses and approval of the introduction of The Crossing Church based
on the narrative and plans dated December 18, 2018 and subject to the conditions outlined in the
planning report.
At the January 14, 2019 meeting the City Council met to consider this application. While
supportive of some limited expansion of land use in the Outlet Mall Promenade; they expressed
some concerns with adding Hospitality Business into the PUD that was designed for retail uses.
The Council's concern related to number, size, traffic and parking of Hospitality Businesses and
their relationship to other businesses in the Outlet Mall.

KEY ISSUES:
• The introduction of Hospitality Businesses to the PUD agreement will expand the range
of commercial uses within the Outlet Promenade. This will give the property owner
greater flexibility in attracting tenants to this part of the mall. The council is concerned
that without proper regulations on the number or size of a Hospitality Businesses in this
area the use may overwhelm the site and other business moving the promenade away
from the original retail intent.
• The City Council is supportive of the PUD amendment, with regulations that address the
number, size and duration of Hospitality Businesses in the Outlets Promenade to provide
a balance between the retail and hospitality business and to insure proper functioning of
the overall site.
• The proposed PUD amendment will allow Hospitality Businesses as an Interim Use with
regulations that limit the number, size and duration of these uses on Lot 1, Block 1
Outlets of Albertville Second Addition. These regulations will be applicable to any
future Hospitality Businesses interested in coming into the Outlets Promenade. As an
interim use with conditions the City can work with the Hospitality business to resolve
land use or operation issues to insure that the use is compatible with the balance of the
mall tenants and surrounding land uses.
• The PUD Amendment will apply only to the Promenade because the western malls are
governed by a separate PUD agreement with its own list of allowed uses. In this respect,
the requested amendment is geographically limited.
• The Hospitality Businesses allow for commercial assembly land uses (i.e. conference
centers, banquet halls) under RLUAIPA, these assembly uses would also permit a church.
• The church wishes to lease two existing tenant bays. They offer Sunday services, Sunday
kids' ministry, Wednesday night group meetings and periodically fellowship groups and
bible studies. .
• The introduction of the church to the Promenade Mall will change the building use from
a retail use to an assembly use. The building will require a building and fire code review
to outline the building modifications required to accommodate this change in building
occupancy. Building permits shall be obtained for building modifications.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice was published,
and a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission for the PUD Amendment. The
Commission recommended that the City Council approve of the Amendment to the PUD
Agreement.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to the
PUD Amendment.
