The West Homewood Community Development Review Committee (West Homewood CDRC) is a board incorporated by the City of Homewood on April 28, 2015 to review development proposals and recommend public improvements in the West Homewood District along West Oxmoor Road from Oxmoor Boulevard to Oak Grove Road, including Scott Street.

The committee is made up of Mayor Scott McBrayer, city engineer Vanessa McGrath, fire marshal Rusty McCombs, a Homewood City Council representative, and a Homewood Planning Commission representative.

The committee is empowered to review subdivision and new construction proposals for conformance with the zoning code and form-based design requirements passed by the City Council and outlined in the "West Homewood District Illustrative Plan". The guidelines aim to gradually transform the district into an attractive, pedestrian-friendly commercial "village". The CDRC can grant "warrants" for minor deviations from the guidelines.

The first project to fall under the CRDC's jurisdiction was a proposal to renovate and expand the Econo Lodge
