The Southaven Mayor and Board of Aldermen convened on April 15, 2025, to discuss significant developments in the city, including a proposed residential project and a subdivision application.

The meeting's highlight was the approval of a conceptual design for a new residential development, which includes townhouses and a park expansion. Alderman Flores made a motion to rezone the area for this development, emphasizing its alignment with the city’s comprehensive plan and the unanimous recommendation from the planning commission. The proposed townhouses are expected to be high-quality homes priced around $400,000, with strict maintenance requirements for homeowners to ensure upkeep.

Concerns were raised about the potential impact of the development on future park expansions, particularly regarding tennis facilities. Some board members acknowledged the importance of maintaining options for future recreational space while also recognizing the quality of the proposed development. Ultimately, the board voted in favor of the motion, allowing the project to proceed.

In addition to the residential development, the board reviewed a subdivision application for the Angel Commercial Subdivision, located on the north side of Goodman Road. This application aims to separate the commercial properties from the residential portion, facilitating a clearer development process. The adjustments will create two distinct lots, streamlining the subdivision's layout.

The decisions made during this meeting reflect the board's commitment to balancing residential growth with community needs, ensuring that Southaven continues to develop in a thoughtful and organized manner.
