Fairhope Council to Weigh Fourth Extension of Residential Development Moratorium

An ordinance on the June 29 agenda would extend Fairhope's pause on higher-density residential and subdivision applications — in place since February 2025 — by one month, through Aug. 16. That is a shorter step than the city's earlier extensions, even though the zoning overhaul behind the pause isn't expected to take effect until 2027.
