A Public Hearing will be held on Monday during the City Council meeting to discuss Samford University's proposed Bulldog District.
The Bulldog District would include two new residential "villages" on the southwestern portion of campus. The villages would together contain three student residential halls designed to address the university's enrollment growth.
Samford requested height variances for all three — Stadium Village, West Village East and West.
On June 5, the Board of Zoning Adjustments approved one variance (Stadium Village) and denied the others.
Other items on Monday's council agenda include:
