FOLEY, Ala. — Nearly 1,000 voters in Planning and Zoning District 21, which encompasses unincorporated areas south of Magnolia Springs, east and north of Bon Secour Bay and west of State Highway 59, will decide Tuesday if planning and zoning measures will be implemented.

The election will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Vernant Park Baptist Church, 10891 Vernant Church Road, in Foley, according to Baldwin County Probate Judge Adrian Johns.

A public testing of machines and a poll workers’ school will be Monday at 6 p.m. at the Foley Satellite Courthouse in the Probate Office lobby.

The one-question ballot states: “Do you favor the area of Planning and Zoning District 21 being subject to the planning and zoning jurisdiction of the Baldwin County Commission?”

About half of the county’s 30 planning and zoning districts have been activated by elections.

If approved by voters, a 180-day, temporary moratorium will be instituted regarding land use and structures.

During that time, an advisory, five-member planning and zoning committee of residents from all walks of life will be established to prepare a zoning map and comprehensive development ordinance for adoption by the commission.

During the process, the Baldwin County Planning and Zoning Department will review the documents, public hearings will be held and the Baldwin County Commission will make the final implementation decision.
