The proposal to build a gas station at the corner of Government Street and Broad Street has officially been rejected.
The Mobile Architectural Review Board (ARB) turned down the application from Murphy USA, which had planned to replace the old CVS building with a six-pump station.
Despite multiple meetings and suggestions from the ARB’s design committee, the board felt that the company didn’t make enough changes to align with the historic neighborhood’s character.
Board Says Changes Weren’t Enough
Initially, Murphy USA proposed an eight-pump gas station, but the final plan reduced that number to six.
Even with this adjustment, the board found that not enough had been done to make the project fit the area’s standards.
Although Murphy USA attempted to reduce the visibility of the station from the street and incorporate design elements more in line with the neighborhood, the board still felt the overall proposal hadn’t changed much.
