Development inside the City of Mobile is governed by the Unified Development Code (UDC), formally Ordinance 64-26, which combines the city's zoning ordinance and other land development regulations into a single document. The UDC is administered and enforced by the Planning and Zoning Division of the Build Mobile Department, which is also the staff for the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Adjustment.

The Mobile City Council adopted the Unified Development Code on July 12, 2022. It went into effect in the first quarter of 2023, following adoption of the updated Subdivision Regulations on January 19, 2023. The UDC consolidates and modernizes the city's prior zoning ordinance and land development regulations into one unified code that implements the recommendations of the Map for Mobile comprehensive plan.

No. According to the city, adoption of the UDC did not change the existing zoning district assigned to any property, and no revisions to the zoning map were proposed as part of the UDC. The UDC continues to use the existing zoning district names. It does add supplementary overlays for specific areas, including Africatown, the Peninsula, Spring Hill, Historic Districts, and the Downtown Development District.

The Mobile City Planning Commission reviews land use matters such as subdivisions and rezoning applications; its meetings are held in person and live streamed, beginning at 2 PM on each meeting date. The Board of Zoning Adjustment is a separate seven-member quasi-judicial body that hears applications for variances from the zoning ordinance and appeals of interpretations made by the Planning Division staff. Both bodies are staffed by the Build Mobile Planning and Zoning Division.

Zoning and land use in Mobile are guided by Map for Mobile, the city's comprehensive plan, originally adopted on November 5, 2015. The City Planning Commission adopted an updated Map for Mobile on August 15, 2024, which included a citywide update to the Future Land Use Map, the Major Streets Plan, Priority Investment Areas, and a reorganization of the plan's goals and policies. The UDC is the tool intended to implement these recommendations.
