Samford scales back South Campus plans, proposes two 6-story student dorms HOMEWOOD, Ala. (WBMA) — A redevelopment proposal for Samford University's South Campus is moving toward a Homewood City Council public hearing, but the project is significantly smaller than an earlier plan that included hundreds of apartments and a large hotel. The Homewood City Council on Monday set an Oct. 12 public hearing for Samford's final development plan. The proposal has already received a favorable recommendation from the Homewood Planning Commission, although that recommendation is not binding on the City Council, according to Homewood Mayor Jennifer Andress. The current proposal calls for two six-story student dormitories on Samford-owned property near the university's track. Andress said the proposed buildings would be located between the creek and track and near the Daxko office building. “So it would kind of be in that row there, two, six-storey dorms with a little bit of retail in the bottom, just strictly for the students, coffee shops and kind of light retail for that,” Andress said. The limited retail component is a significant change from the broader redevelopment previously considered for the area. An earlier version of the South Campus proposal included 435 apartments and a large hotel, according to Andress. “The proposal before was a lot more impactful on that area,” Andress said. “There were apartments, there were 435 apartments. There was a very large hotel.” Those elements are no longer part of the proposal now moving toward the City Council. “So this is something that is scaled back according to their proposal that we will be looking at on October 12th,” Andress said. The South Campus redevelopment has gone through multiple rounds of review as Samford considers the future of property across Lakeshore Drive from its main campus. The current final development plan covers Samford property at 600 and 601 University Park Place and 1601 Parkview Lane. Andress said she will not take a position on the development before the public hearing. Both the Samford proposal and a separate West Homewood development known as The Woods received favorable recommendations from the Planning Commission and are scheduled for public hearings before the council on Oct. 12. “Anyone can come and speak and sign up and come to the microphone and tell us your thoughts on both of those projects,” Andress said. The public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 12 at Homewood City Hall.
