Some Mobile Planning Commission members on Thursday raised concerns about a plan to construct a six-story office building in the southeast corner of the Civic Center property.
The Planning Commission could vote at its meeting next week on a rezoning proposal that would allow for the construction of taller buildings on the site. Mayor Sandy Stimpson’s administration is pushing a plan for an office building that would be home to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The plan also would include a parking garage for the federal agency’s employees and the public.
James Barber, the mayor’s chief of staff, told the commission that there are many decisions still to be made. “It’s been characterized that we’ve already decided to move forward with the Populous plan and, you know, that some of this stuff was all like a done deal,” he said. “And that’s actually not true.”
Commission member Kirk Mattei said he believes there is broad agreement on certain aspects of the Civic Center.
