Overton neighborhood...................

Application to pre-zone territory proposed for annexation from A-1 (Agricultural District-Shelby County) to C-2 (General Commercial District-City of Birmingham) to construct a multi-family residential development, filed by Arlington Properties representing the owner, Hanna Family Partnership, for the property located at 4641 Highway 280 and situated in the SW¼ of Section 36, Township 18-S, Range 2-West. *(35242).

Property and Abutting Land Uses

The subject property sits on approximately 18.94 acres of land, currently located outside the City limits of Birmingham in Shelby County. The current use of the property is a landscape nursery. Properties to the south, east and west of the site are commercial, zoned CC-2 (Contingency General Commercial District). Property to the north is vacant and is zoned Agricultural (Shelby County).

Applicant’s Proposal

The applicant is proposing to build a luxury, multi-family community that will contain 272 rental units. The development will offer a “resort-style” setting, targeting empty nesters and young professionals. Units will have high end finishes, including quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Amenities will include a resort pool, outdoor pavilion with fireplace and televisions, full-service fitness center, “we-work” space, and coffee café. The site will also include a pet park as well as buffers between the adjacent properties. The development will retain all stormwater on site and will utilize an existing 477’ lake. Interior roads will be private as well as trash pickup. Since family units will not be the target audience for this development, the applicant does not expect a significant impact on the school system.

^ I'm having trouble placing this. When I search "4641 Highway 280" in Google Maps, it shows up at the intersection of Riverview Rd and Cahaba River Road, where you would turn in to go in the back way to Target or those apartments over there. Is it down that same road?

[TimCity2000]

answered my own question... the article says it's "behind Courtyard 280 and near Motel 6."
