Board approves variance for day‑care redevelopment at 6109 Howells Ferry Road
Summary
The board approved a variance request tied to a revised site plan for a day‑care facility at 6109 Howells Ferry Road after staff confirmed prior variances had expired and the application must be treated as a new request.
The Mobile City Board of Adjustment approved a variance Monday for a redevelopment project at 6109 Howells Ferry Road that will house a day‑care facility, after staff confirmed prior variances had expired and the application required a new review.
Claude Hall and Melody Hall, property owners, were represented by Jackson of Roe Engineering. Jackson said the primary change triggering the new variance request was a revised parking layout: the applicant added parking islands and changed the number and arrangement of parking spaces to meet Unified Development Code standards. Staff explained that previous variances had lapsed because approvals were site‑plan specific, so the board was reviewing this as a new application.
No public comments were received either in writing or in the hearing. A board member moved to approve the variance subject to findings of fact; the motion carried.
The approval lets the applicant proceed with the revised site plan and site‑work that includes revised parking islands and internal sidewalks; the staff noted remaining permitting steps including land‑disturbance review.
