An 11-acre mixed-use campus with a bakery, coffee shop, market, event center, teaching labs and underground parking. It's the biggest project of the night and could become a major destination — plus a trailhead connection to Hillmore Park.
Traffic safety at the Scotney supper club site
Neighbors pushed for access via the Mobile station's stoplight instead of the approved Sage Street access; three traffic engineers and the county backed the applicant's plan, and the CUP passed 5-3.
Swan Creek Supper Club project

The council continued the CUP to June 22 pending final documents.
Indoor entertainment facility at Interchange North
A proposal by David Scotney for an indoor entertainment facility/restaurant at Interchange North and Center Street drew ten public speakers. The council put the decision off to June 22 to get complete zoning documents and roadway change details.

Bloomfield Holdings' subdivision plan and the Symphony Bay Phase 8 plat both cleared the Council, with aldermen adding more trees and a bush buffer to soften the development.
