Hartselle’s City Council has set a hearing date for a proposal to limit portable storage units in the city.
The proposed ordinance would limit the time portable shipping containers used for storage could be left at a site.
The public hearing is set for Nov. 28. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m.
The proposal was prompted by complaints about large containers left at homes. The containers include tractor trailers or other large shipping containers that are used as storage.

There are several other public hearings set for Nov. 28 as well:
