The City Council approved a resolution authorizing agreements for services related to the Pelham Sports Parks renovations, phase two. This project involves renovating field one and redoing dugouts and fences for fields two, three, and four of the baseball and softball complex.

Pelham City Council Considers Return to Single-Evening Meeting Schedule
The City Council considered Ordinance Number 399-08 for the first reading, proposing to amend the city's Code of Ordinances regarding the meeting schedule of the Pelham City Council. This ordinance aims to repeal Ordinance Number 399-007 and return to a meeting format where regular council work sessions and regular council meetings are held on the same evening, specifically on the first and third Mondays of each month at 7 p.m., with provisions for rescheduling due to holidays or conflicts. The ordinance is set to become effective immediately upon adoption and publication and will be implemented starting August 3rd, 2026 [cite: 193-213].
Pelham Council Reviews Rezoning of 247 Acres Near Oak Mountain State Park Road
The City Council heard the first reading of an ordinance (135-269) to amend the zoning ordinance by rezoning approximately 247 acres near Oak Mountain State Park Road. The proposed change is from A1, R1, R3, and B1 to PUD R. The applicant is Brooks, Harris, Harris Doyle Holmes. This rezoning is a significant land use decision with potential impacts on development and community character [cite: 216-220]. A council member expressed concerns about the lot design and its impact on schools and infrastructure, suggesting PUD R is appropriate but questioning the specific lot sizes and density [cite: 221-318].
