Overview

Code type
euclidean
Naming convention
letter-code

Mobile's UDC uses letter-code district names with no dimensional meaning encoded (R-A, R-1 through R-3, R-B, H-B, B-1, T-B, LB-2, B-2 through B-5, CW, MM, ML, MH, I-1, I-2, PD). The Downtown Development District (Appendix A) is a transect-based form code (T-3 through T-6, SD-WH, SD) applied only to the historic downtown area — a hybrid: euclidean base + downtown transect. Sub-districts (Urban / Suburban / Conservation) apply different dimensional standards within the same base district. Active area-plan overlays: Africatown (Art. 11), Peninsula (Art. 12), Spring Hill (Art. 13), Historic District (Art. 14), Historic Avenue (Art. 15, amended June 2025).

Worth knowing
  • mobile-udc-subdistricts: Mobile's UDC uses Urban/Suburban/Conservation sub-districts within R-1, R-2, R-3, B-1, LB-2, B-2, B-3 districts. Each sub-district has distinct dimensional standards. Sub-district designation is shown on the Zoning Map. Records must specify sub-district for accurate dimensional lookup — this profile presents both sub-district values where they differ.
  • mobile-udc-ddd-separate-code: The Downtown Development District (DDD) operates under Appendix A as an entirely separate transect code. Article 3 development standards (landscaping, parking, lighting, buffers) do NOT apply in the DDD per Sec. 64-3-1.A.b. The parking exemption zone within the DDD (Beauregard/Mobile River/Eslava/Water) is also excluded from Article 3 parking per §64-3-12.A.1.c.
  • mobile-udc-springhill-article3-exclusion: Spring Hill Overlay (Article 13) properties are excluded from Article 3 development standards per Sec. 64-3-1.A.a. Article 13 governs instead.

State preemptions

AL-11-52-75.1 (group home zoning)applies
Qualifying condition
Mobile's UDC establishes multi-family districts: R-3 (Urban and Suburban, up to 30 du/ac Urban), R-B (Residential Business, mixed residential/commercial up to 10 du/ac), and mixed-use overlays within the DDD (T-3 through T-6). Per Ala. Code §11-52-75.1, group homes serving ≤10 unrelated persons with intellectual disabilities or mental illness must be permitted in multi-family districts statewide, subject to 1,000-ft lot-line spacing. Mobile population 203,416 (2024). Threshold: all AL municipalities with MF districts. Applies.
Source
Ala. Code §11-52-75.1; UDC Sec. 64-2-7 (R-3); Alabama-demographics.com 2024 population estimate
Effect
Group homes ≤10 unrelated persons (ID/MI) must be permitted by right in R-3 and MF-permitting zones; 1,000-ft lot-line separation is a state floor that local ordinance cannot waive.
AL-HB281-2025 (Act 2025-331 — BZA appeal procedure)applies
Qualifying condition
Procedural preemption applying to all Alabama municipalities. Mobile BZA appeals filed after June 1, 2025 follow the new 30-day window, de novo circuit court review, no automatic stay. Universal application — no population threshold or opt-in required.

Effect
30-day appeal window from BZA decision; de novo review in circuit court; no automatic stay on issuance of permit pending appeal.
AL-ACAMP (Alabama Coastal Area Management Program)applies
Qualifying condition
Mobile is in Mobile County — one of only two Alabama counties (Mobile + Baldwin) within the ACAMP jurisdiction (Ala. Code §§9-7-10 through 9-7-22). Coastal development activities within the ACAMP area require independent ADCNR/ADEM Coastal Section permits in addition to local zoning approval. ACAMP does not preempt local zoning dimensional standards but adds a concurrent permitting requirement for regulated coastal activities.
Source
Ala. Code §9-7-10; zoning/us/alabama/overlays.json (AL_ACAMP_COASTAL_9_7_10)
Effect
Seawalls, bulkheads, jetties, groins, dredge/fill, and shoreline stabilization require ADEM/ADCNR Coastal Section permit. CZMA §307 federal consistency review may apply to federal actions.
AL-FLOOD (NFIP/ADEM floodplain)applies
Qualifying condition
Mobile participates in NFIP (mapped SFHAs per FEMA FIRMs in Mobile County — Mobile Bay, Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Three Mile Creek, Dog River, Fowl River watersheds). Local flood damage prevention ordinance required under 44 CFR §60.3. Mobile Code Ch. 17 is the flood damage prevention ordinance. Universal in mapped SFHAs.
Source
44 CFR §60.3; zoning/us/alabama/overlays.json (AL_FLOOD_DAMAGE_PREVENTION_NFIP); UDC Art. 11/12 cross-references to Ch. 17
Effect
Lowest floor of new residential construction in SFHA must meet BFE. No increases in floodway BFE permitted. Local ordinance Ch. 17 governs; ADEM NFIP coordinator provides model ordinance.
AL-AIRPORT-HAZARD (§4-6-8)applies
Qualifying condition
Mobile is home to Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) and Brookley Aeroplex (BFM / Coast Guard Air Station Mobile). Properties within FAA Part 77 imaginary surfaces subject to airport hazard permit requirement and height caps under Ala. Code §4-6-8 and 14 CFR Part 77. Trigger: city has airport influence zones.
Source
Ala. Code §§4-6-1 et seq.; zoning/us/alabama/overlays.json (AL_AIRPORT_HAZARD_ZONING_4_6); FAA Airport Influence Zone maps
Effect
Airport hazard permit required before new construction/substantial alteration in regulated airport hazard area. Height capped at FAA Part 77 surfaces in approach/clearance zones.
AL-HISTORIC-PRESERVATION (§§11-68-1 et seq.)applies
Qualifying condition
Mobile has adopted a Historic District Overlay (UDC Article 14) consistent with Ala. Code §§11-68-1 et seq. (Historic Preservation Commissions). Mobile is a Certified Local Government (CLG) and one of the state's notable historic preservation cities per the Alabama overlays file. Mobile has designated local historic districts subject to the HDO (Sec. 64-14-1).
Source
UDC Art. 14, Sec. 64-14-1; Ala. Code §§11-68-1 et seq.; zoning/us/alabama/overlays.json (AL_HISTORIC_PRESERVATION_11_68)

AL-MOBILE-BAY-NEP (CWA §320 — non-regulatory)applies
Qualifying condition
Mobile is in the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (NEP) watershed (CWA §320, 33 U.S.C. §1330). The Mobile Bay NEP CCMP ('The Waters We Share') is a non-regulatory partnership document. Watershed includes Mobile and Baldwin counties. Not a zoning preemption — local governments voluntarily incorporate CCMP recommended practices into stormwater/riparian ordinances.
Source
zoning/us/alabama/overlays.json (AL_MOBILE_BAY_NEP_COORDINATION); CWA §320; Mobile Bay NEP CCMP
Effect
Non-regulatory. CCMP recommended practices (stormwater LID, riparian buffers, living shorelines) may be voluntarily incorporated by ordinance. No federal land-use controls imposed.
Non-applicable laws (4)
AL-STR (short-term-rental local control)does_not_apply
Qualifying condition
No statewide STR preemption enacted as of 2026RS adjournment (April 9, 2026). Alabama imposes lodging tax on rentals <180 days (Title 40) but has no state STR licensing or operational preemption. Mobile has adopted its own STR ordinance. Local Chapter 52 authority retained.

Quirks & notes

  • mobile-udc-subdistricts: Mobile's UDC uses Urban/Suburban/Conservation sub-districts within R-1, R-2, R-3, B-1, LB-2, B-2, B-3 districts. Each sub-district has distinct dimensional standards. Sub-district designation is shown on the Zoning Map. Records must specify sub-district for accurate dimensional lookup — this profile presents both sub-district values where they differ.
  • mobile-udc-ddd-separate-code: The Downtown Development District (DDD) operates under Appendix A as an entirely separate transect code. Article 3 development standards (landscaping, parking, lighting, buffers) do NOT apply in the DDD per Sec. 64-3-1.A.b. The parking exemption zone within the DDD (Beauregard/Mobile River/Eslava/Water) is also excluded from Article 3 parking per §64-3-12.A.1.c.
  • mobile-udc-springhill-article3-exclusion: Spring Hill Overlay (Article 13) properties are excluded from Article 3 development standards per Sec. 64-3-1.A.a. Article 13 governs instead.
  • mobile-udc-tb-parking-caps: T-B (Transitional Business) has maximum parking caps rather than minimums for commercial uses: retail/office capped at 1 per 200 sf; restaurants at 1 per 75 sf. Excess spaces must use alternative paving surface. Drive-thrus prohibited in T-B. Hours restricted (retail 6am-10pm; restaurants 6am-12am) per Sec. 64-2-24.3.
  • mobile-al-template-bleed-v1: Previous v1 record (prior to this V2 regen) showed confirmed template-bleed: all 7 listed districts (R-1 through I-2) had identical dimensional values (min_lot_sf=5000, max_height_ft=35, lot_coverage=0.5, far=0.5, parking=2, front=25, side=25, rear=10), and cited non-existent section codes like '§64-2-B1'. The actual UDC has 20 base districts with substantially different values per district.
