Overview:

The Zoning Advisory Committee (ZAC) is a subcommittee of the Birmingham Planning Commission whose principal purpose is to advise the City Council directly on changes to the Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning District map. The Committee recommends decisions on matters related to the physical development of land, restriction of uses, and the pattern of development for property within the city limits of Birmingham. For purposes of rezoning property from one zone district to another, or amending the text in the Zoning Ordinance, the ZAC is an advisory committee only. The City Council, the legislative body of the City, has the final authority for approval.

  • Dr. Nyesha Black, Chairwoman
  • Patty Pilkerton
  • Stephen Schrader
  • J. Charles Jordan II
