See your one this morning, ladies and gentlemen.

We are down in the hands of our capable city clerk, Miss Lisa Carroll.

This is the pre-meeting of the Mobile City Council Tuesday, July the 14th.

We have approval of minutes from July 7th.

Any issues anyway.

No, sir.

Okay.

Appeals, we have requests for wave the noise ordinance on October the 18th from 10 a.m.

until 4 p.m.

on McGill Avenue.

Okay.

Public hearings.

This a public hearing to consider the proposed rezoning of property located at 2609 and 2651 Spring Hill Avenue, 152, 157, and 159 Mobile Street and 144 Highland Avenue from R1 and B3 to B1.

Public hearing.

Today's a public hearing to consider the proposed rezoning of property located at 4630, 4700 4960 Dolphin Island Parkway from B3 to B3 to remove a previous condition of the rezoning.

Public hearing to consider the application for the rezon of property located at 5101 Moffat Road from B2 to B3.

Vice President.

Yeah, these these next two are mine.

This one, 5101 Moffat Road.

They are looking to put in a used car lot with some light mechanical.

The I watched the planning commission meeting on May 21st to, you know, just get a little bit more background.

The building that they are looking to use because he said they wanted to remodel the building that's there.

It's been vacant since 2000.

There apparently was some kind of an attempt by the city at one point to maybe put it on nuisance abatement.

Something happened.

But at any rate, the building has been sitting there and it's it's pretty much a blighted condition.

So they say they will come in, they will clean up the lot, and they will remodel the building for an office, three roll up car bays.

And then they will have the cars that they want to sell parked out.

I'm not sure exactly where.

When I watched the meeting, it was really unclear uh exactly what they were going to do with the site, but at any rate, they're going from asking to go from a B2 to a B3.

This sits it's a small strip of I say small, but it's a strip of property that uh Moffitt is on one side and overlook is on the other, because you kind of can cut through from Moffat to Overlook and get to university from that area.

So everything around it is primarily a B2 across Moffat, and there is a daycare center and residential.

So the planning commission recommended denial.

Didn't really have much to say about it when you when you watch the meeting.

So I'm sure we'll hear from the applicant today to see what they you know have.

We can ask some questions about exactly what it is they're looking to do, exactly what the site plan will look like because again it was kind of unclear um during the meeting.

Okay.

All right, now Clark.

Public hearing to consider the proposed rezoning of property located at 5361 Moffat Road from R1 to B3.

And this is another one.

It's like, you know, you get two in a row.

Um, this one is an R1, surrounded by R1 on the east side, the west side, and then back of it on the south.

If you remember some time ago, there was a subdivision that was um planning to go in, and the uh applicant wanted to put in a street that cut through a neighborhood and went to this subdivision, and the neighbors were opposed to it because it would go through their neighborhood.

And at any rate, uh the planning commission denied it, we denied it, but they went to court and it was overturned.

So just giving you some background on the on the area there, but um the applicant here uh wants to put in a realty office.

Um a realty office in and of itself would be kind of light, light impact.

The problem is that she is applying for a B3 because of what she wants to do on the site, which would include some moving vans and also putting in a storage building in the back.

She also wants to increase the size of the the house by over another thousand feet plus.

So um, there's just a lot of questions about that.

And the neighbors who I've talked to said they went to the neighborhood meeting, um, thinking it was about the subdivision next door that they had been opposed to what was happening there.

So at any rate, um, I think there was some confusion about that.

Um the neighbors did not understand what a B3 was, what it means, uh, or the fact that you know she wanted to park these big moving vans and build a storage building and back.

So I think there's some learning going on within the neighbors.

Um the woman is very, very nice.

Um certainly putting in a realty office with the everything she would need to stage a house and help her clients is a great idea.

It's just going from an R1 to a B3 is not necessarily a good idea, in my opinion.

So anyway, we'll hear from everybody today and be able to ask them some questions.

Today is the public hearing to revoke the business license of 1172 West Interstate Service Road South.

At um Atlanta 72 West Interstate Service Road South.

Presentation of petitions and other communications to the council, Reggie Hill requests various investigations, rules, economic development, and public safety.
