The GSC comment to the city will be that the uses listed above should be disallowed in the areas shown, OR allowed only after public input and a special review process by the planning commission and the city council.

This document was developed after a review of the 9-14-17 release of the Draft Chart of Permitted Uses. These are priorities, based on GSC member input,  listing the most intense uses having the greatest potental for negative impact in our neighborhoods and on Government Street.  

The map and the list of Uses show us what can occur on our street in our traditional, residential, historic neighborhoods.  These Uses are proposed to be "by right," which means they can be placed in our area without approval, without city review of impact on residents, and without public input.

The new definitions for these Uses have not been released, but at this time, the GSC position is that we oppose these uses on our street because, as presented in the draft,  they do not align with our vision for Government Street or the Map for Mobile principles we support.
