The Mobile City Planning Commission convened on November 20, 2025, to review a diverse agenda of subdivision plats, planned unit development (PUD) modifications, rezoning applications, and holdover requests. The meeting covered both public hearings for new items and deliberations on holdovers from the previous month. Commissioners addressed technical queries regarding traffic studies, right-of-way dedications, and zoning classifications, with several applicants requesting and receiving holdovers to refine their proposals for the December 18th meeting. Recusals were noted for Commissioners Harry Brislin and Kenny Nichols during their respective conflict items.

Recognize again if you want to recognize again. Is it again? Want to recognize before or after the people. Hey. I'm super. Did you take it? No. Eh. It's a maybe. A maybe. Depends on the conversations that get sparked. We do have some suggestions for holdover till December. Good afternoon. Welcome to the November twentieth, twenty twenty five planning commission meeting for the City of Mobile. I'd like to take a moment to review our general operating procedures. This meeting is divided into two sessions, public hearing and deliberation. In our public hearing sessions, an agenda item is called. Only four people may speak for an agenda item and four people against. Each speaker is limited to five minutes, subject to questions by the commission. At one minute, a speaker will hear a warning beep prompting you to summarize your comments. After opposition speakers have finished, an applicant will be allowed a two-minute rebuttal. If you do intend to speak, we invite you to come to the bottom of the stairs, speak into the microphone in the podium, and provide your name and your address for the record. Direct all your comments to this commission only and not to the applicant, the staff, or the audience. After hearing all applications, the commission will then go into deliberation where we will discuss each application with input from the staff as necessary, but with no input from the audience. Occasionally a commissioner may recuse themselves from discussing and voting on a given application. That doesn't mean they are directly involved with the application or the applicant, but depending on the circumstances, ethical rules may require the recusal, even if there is only the slightest appearance of a conflict of interest. If a regular member recuses, a supernumerary will be voting in their stead. A reminder, the planning commission makes final decisions on subdivisions with appeals of these decisions to the circuit court. The planning commission is strictly a recommending body for rezonings, conditional use permits, and planned developments. At this time, if you would do me a favor and turn your cell phones and electronic devices to the silent or the vibrate position, commissioners and staff, please turn on your microphones when speaking. Kirk Mate, Miss Jennifer Denson. Mr. Harry Brislin. Here. Mr. Larry Dorsey. Mr. Chad Anderson. Here. Mr. Matt Anderson. Mr. Nick Amberger. Here. Mr. Josh Woods. Here. Mr. Kenny Nichols. Here.
