Planning Commission Approves Extension Requests for Angel Brook and McFarland Subdivisions
The City of Mobile Planning Commission convened on September 18, 2025, to address several key agenda items concerning subdivision applications and extension requests. The meeting began with a brief inquiry into public interest regarding application number 2 for a rezone at 72117221 Cottage Hill Road, which was subsequently withdrawn, leading to no further discussion.

The commission then moved on to two extension requests for the Angel Brook Subdivision located at 2301 McFarland Road. The first request involved an extension for a previously approved 108-lot subdivision covering just under 40 acres. The applicant confirmed that construction was nearly complete and agreed to the eight listed conditions for the extension, which, if approved, would last for one year. No public comments were made regarding this request.

The second extension request at the same location pertained to a 48-lot subdivision, also valid for one year, with 16 conditions attached. Again, there were no questions or comments from the audience, allowing the commission to proceed without delay.

Next on the agenda was a new subdivision application for the Sunset Creek subdivision at 3520 Spanish Alley, which involves the resubdivision of lots 1 through 3 over 7.5 acres. The applicant expressed agreement with the ten listed conditions, and no public input was recorded.

The commission then addressed a subdivision application on the south side of Wood Alley, west of Green Street. The applicant requested a waiver for a condition requiring a 60-foot wide street, proposing instead to create a 30-foot wide street. The discussion highlighted the narrow nature of the existing alley, with commissioners expressing familiarity with the area and leaning towards supporting the waiver due to the impracticality of widening the street. No public comments were made on this item either.

The final agenda item involved a subdivision at 655 Congress Street and 260 North Washington Avenue, known as the Timberland Park at Downtown North Subdivision, which includes the subdivision of five lots over 0.39 acres. The applicant was present, but no further details were discussed in the transcript.

Overall, the meeting progressed smoothly with no significant public opposition to the applications and extensions presented. The commission's decisions will be crucial in shaping the development landscape of Mobile, with follow-up actions expected as the applications are processed.
