A rezoning requested by a Dothan church failed Tuesday following a tied vote by the Dothan City Commission.
Calvary Baptist Church requested 14.6 acres owned by the church off Montgomery Highway be rezoned from light industry and a single-family low-density residential zoning to a residential zoning with a higher density, allowing for smaller lots and more homes.

The property in question is on the other side of Montgomery Highway from the church, a wooded lot that stretches from Montezuma Avenue to Park Avenue. It is sandwiched between commercial properties fronting Montgomery Highway and a residential neighborhood. Slivers of land connect the property to Montgomery Highway and Park Avenue.
“It won’t be like the houses all around us,” Anderson said. “There’s only going to be one entryway into that, and I have trouble getting out onto the Montgomery Highway now. … You need to consider our feelings that live in the neighborhood, and you need to consider how congested it’s going to be. I love my house, and I don’t want it to be devalued.”
