So this will be the Urban (orange) and Suburban (green) layout of Mobile once they pass the UDC


Basically the new UDC will change little, except for the creation of the Urban Section. Which WILL allow for higher density in those areas

Here's a few comparisons
R-1 Urban Vs Suburban
Suburban - lot size: 7,200 Square feet
Coverage of lot: 35% maximum
Front yard: 25 feet minimum (jesus)



Urban - lot size: 6,000 Square feet
Coverage of lot: 50% maximum
Front yard: 5 feet minimum


R-2 Urban Vs Suburban
Suburban - lot area minimum: 8,000 square feet
Density: 10 units/acre
coverage: 40%
Front yard: 25 feet


Urban - lot area minimum: 4,000 Square feet
Density: 20 units/acre
Coverage: 50%
Front Yard: 5 feet




R-3

Suburban - lot area minimum: 10,000 square feet
Density: 25 units/acre
Coverage: 45%
Front yard 25 feet
Landscape Percent: 15%


Urban - lot area minimum: 4,000 square feet
Density: 30 units/acre
Coverage: 50%
Front Yard: 10 feet

Landscape Percent: 10%

All have 25 unit/acre maximum (both Urban and Suburban)

Coverage: 50% (both)
Urban: minimum front yard: 10 Feet (maximum: 45)
Suburban: minimum front yard: 25 feet



Urban Landscaping min: 5%

Just read the Peninsula Overlay for the UDC and I like it. A lot of focus is taken for biking, which makes sense as the Peninsula is currently the "it" place for biking in the city. Any multifamily creations or expansions must have 1 short term bicycle parking space for every 10 units. Anything built or redesigned for non-residential uses must have 2 short term bicycle parking space if it is between 0-6,000 Sq Ft and if its larger, then it must increase by 1 parking space per 6,000 sq ft



Also include in the Overlay is that all developed non-residential lots can only have a certain amount of the land to be impervious (such as concrete or asphalt)
examples:


0-5000 sq feet: Maximum Impervious Coverage: 40%


10,001-20,000: Maximum Impervious Coverage: 30%


Greater than 43,560: Maximum Impervious Coverage: 20%

Did they target that central area to be more dense commercially or am I just making that up? The area around BC Rain

Their future land use for DIP corridor in the peninsula is Mix Commerical Corridor. Which seem to be for more suburban commercial buildings rather than urban (rear lot buildings vs front lots building) which is rather counterintuitive of the biking infrastructure

Looks like the goal is to keep the Peninsula as suburbia, which I have mixed feelings about

Yeah I don’t know if they really have a choice. Everything there is so spaced out that you pretty much have to use a car to go anywhere. It almost has a rural feel with how large the plots of land are. Some of those commercial areas need to be bulldozed and just start over tho

Maybe the plan is to turn the peninsula into west Mobile? I'm a big thinker so I think that the coastal areas of the peninsula should have midrise apartments/ condos with the bay view. Ultimately I feel that it will become another west Mobile which is fine.

My guess its because so much of the Peninsulais lower in elevation compared to rest of the city, it's highest elevation is like only 45 feet, though the average looks to be like 21 feet
