The property is zoned Residence 2-B, which permits residential, assisted living, multifamily, office, and hotel use. Portions of the site are within the Slope Development District (SDD), a special overlay district intended to preserve the natural landscape and limit development density. These areas are classified by the intensity of their slope with Lower Slope being less steep than the Upper Slope. Development restrictions are less severe in the Lower Slope District versus the very restrictive Upper Slope District. In addition to its extensive frontage on Airport Road, one of Huntsville’s most desirable thoroughfares, the site has pedestrian sidewalk access at its northern end that exists between the Publix-anchored retail center and an office building. Alternative northern vehicular access route could potentially be gained across an adjoining owner’s property that would connect to Seven Cedars Drive, which connects to Whitesburg Drive.
