Jim Grambling, representing owner Carrington Morehouse, said the applicant held an expanded neighborhood meeting and mailed certified notices to properties within 400 feet. The application included a conceptual rendering and an initial estimate of about 60 units for the site; Grambling and staff cautioned that floodplain constraints, required detention and grading will likely reduce the eventual unit count and require a detailed site plan.

City planning staff found the proposal met rezoning criteria and recommended approval subject to city-engineer sign-off, stormwater/drainage manual compliance, floodplain regulations and a final site-plan review before redevelopment. Commissioners and staff reviewed LiDAR and floodplain mapping during the pre-meeting and noted the floodplain and floodway extend into the lot, which will require building elevation adjustments and a detention pond; the commission discussed that these features could materially reduce achievable density without significant fill or grading.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval with stipulations; on a voice vote the commission issued a favorable recommendation and advised the applicant to submit the item to City Council for final action. Staff noted the applicant will need to demonstrate compliance with floodplain elevation requirements (including freeboard) and design a detention system as part of any future site-plan submittal.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jonesboro - Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on 2025-01-14 5:30 PM - Jan 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The MAPC recommended rezoning about 5.5 acres east of 1006 Warren Street from R1 to RM-12 residential multifamily, with commissioners noting floodplain and detention constraints that will affect unit counts and site design.","taxTitle","Jonesboro, Craighead County, Arkansas","taxId",3532,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6672831,"MAPC backs rezoning at 2926 Wood Street; LUO limits several commercial uses",374,1658000,2032000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2113792-0fbf886357b3d84a2dc6a94d88a03f35&start=1658&end=2032","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2113792-0fbf886357b3d84a2dc6a94d88a03f35/thumbnail_1658000.jpg","/articles/6672831/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/MAPC-backs-rezoning-at-2926-Wood-Street-LUO-limits-several-commercial-uses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672831-60e431ce5f5f285d75c765b7b2c3eb2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201168&Signature=JZ6~mGT78AgMBMVcxNSkdOOpKrwlf8I13TgVdbFZxvZPuCL1TxUQBEmAPvv92KgSOYNfK8sMgTWkjf3lKbS8fUqf3PgUnUyY9MRQ6zFifF0e048Mljv-uhGsaaGYLPUsckbe-R2EhcQCd-E6dfuLOwS73JlmEs08Rnw5LCdwBsZ0yNiKMByEug3a5sum~rNN7H0Tq53rgonyCPPxv628pTqCShCWB1tcbMN61synJZxaE49dczTg3cZNNY~uR2HM0UjB6TC4rFwe5F7ChSmeZjUL815czk4xG1gWxn~71ecd2NoOJpqDtyy7xp1iTHVHXEHvqht76LUd-AJzJkrmWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Jan. 14 recommended rezoning 2926 Wood Street from R1 single-family to C3 general commercial with a limited-use overlay for 0.81 acres. The overlay would prohibit specific uses including gas fueling stations, off-premise billboards, vehicle repair, certain animal care uses and adult entertainment.

Horizon Land Surveying’s Danny Burns said the church’s intent is to rezone that portion of property for potential future sale; no specific development plan was presented. City staff concluded the application met the six rezoning criteria and recommended approval with stipulations addressing engineering, stormwater, floodplain compliance and the specific LUO prohibitions.

At least two nearby residents spoke. Robert Rubinstein said he and other neighbors received certified notice but had limited information and questioned why a noncommercial 501(c)(3) entity would rezone land for commercial uses; he described past rezoning attempts nearby and said he worries about incremental commercialization of the area. Sherry Cartwright said she received only a certified letter and had not been contacted directly; she noted children’s bus stops and pedestrian crossings near the parcel and expressed concern about added traffic.

Commissioners reviewed the future land-use map and staff noted the area shows as “high intensity” on the land-use map. Commissioner Little moved approval subject to staff conditions; the motion passed on a voice vote. Staff advised the applicant to place the item on the City Council agenda for final action before the city deadline.","Our Savior Lutheran Church’s request to rezone 0.81 acres at 2926 Wood Street to C3 with a limited-use overlay received a favorable recommendation, with the LUO prohibiting several commercial uses; some nearby residents raised concerns about notice and future uses.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6672835,"MAPC recommends rezoning at 55100 Stadium Boulevard to I2 with conditions",116,1501000,1617000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2113792-0fbf886357b3d84a2dc6a94d88a03f35&start=1501&end=1617","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2113792-0fbf886357b3d84a2dc6a94d88a03f35/thumbnail_1501000.jpg","/articles/6672835/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/MAPC-recommends-rezoning-at-55100-Stadium-Boulevard-to-I2-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672835-0c1a506860d5a85b24d1320212a8650d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201168&Signature=X0Gf5URXfq8TL-TjyxhSzQek0a-OheR8k2ybAVwyNO~gUIh17Lg6kgCcQORv1VofGWyLDmgntcMgp-26fKLxDmILszZE6QTdt0KKaBZDZk4ulfu7ZroIEH~E0k1sDcv6b9aGTOo0Tp411gxJcAYsefba~aU09K6X4zkiluAKGzmxFtEJkEge8M~oUqk24HzwLZXfsxxKiNdSq3IEM1r0MRtlM7iA7mN9MmrGqzsCcI4Tt9Hec2~sjbhA0atHaXQWzhwZaKWhh5SSrN4j2bRK1BDbPElH8Kav2UIGHf8mMQMwohpb2KyRv848jnDIxk4iMkGvqFsnSJo-N97GMXjJHQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted Jan. 14 to recommend rezoning 55100 Stadium Boulevard from R1 single-family medium density to I2 general industrial for a 6.5-acre parcel.

Owner Wes Thornton told commissioners the rezoning aligns the parcel with adjacent lots the owner already rezoned and that the LUO would include the same restriction prohibiting an RV park. City staff recommended approval after finding the application met the six rezoning criteria and proposed standard conditions, including compliance with city engineering requirements, the stormwater drainage design manual and floodplain regulations; a final site plan requirement; and review for any future change of use.

The commission un-tabled the item from the Dec. 10 agenda and then approved the recommendation by voice vote. Staff instructed the applicant to get on the City Council agenda before Thursday at 10 a.m. for final action.

Thornton said the request covers a 1.55-acre lot north and an adjacent 1-acre lot south and requested the same LUO restriction used on those parcels. No public opposition was offered during the hearing. The rezoning recommendation carries stipulations intended to ensure any redevelopment meets engineering and environmental standards.","Westcott Enterprises received a favorable recommendation from the MAPC to rezone 1.5 acres at 5622 South Caraway Road from R1 to C3 with a limited-use overlay prohibiting RV parks and subject to standard engineering and site-plan conditions.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6672843,"Jonesboro planning panel denies conditional-use request for Elmhurst Drive storage facility",616,44000,660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2113792-0fbf886357b3d84a2dc6a94d88a03f35&start=44&end=660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2113792-0fbf886357b3d84a2dc6a94d88a03f35/thumbnail_44000.jpg","/articles/6672843/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Jonesboro-planning-panel-denies-conditional-use-request-for-Elmhurst-Drive-storage-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672843-ff4e3d816bad0912c3f6a950cb4bfceb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201168&Signature=PYB5u7IZE4kng5LVmiVTgjh5kbw6oCktbX8cHAvj3CVgxIJcR4Vuu4M57Zcar9YqRjpS-mwFH7QL6SYOqljeM2j5qvpKYjy2W0EHABiQm9p39i6vFgV9OTAc7ylJWVtcGvwKl~iGrcDmR~FbW5mNmKXhujPLtk8ay-pa6PAO1ZYZsxjj2Y8Cfi1-bFnWTdCnyMYLD~kENx4yubZLKJd6yh6FkDwCLRekvucXpGKdh33znSZJLi2Zngn6YssKuA7o3zbtGUBliDoLiq-VrCrFbIlYctgwEILy6TnOby1LUk1x5P1NIwnrflMJe53CoJ-H1XembStq8EqNSaR-qLJeQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Jan. 14 denied a conditional-use permit request from Glenwood Limited Partnership to develop a storage facility on a 6.18-acre parcel along Elmhurst Drive.

The request would have allowed climate-controlled and non–climate-controlled storage units in the city’s C3 general commercial zoning district. The commission rejected a motion to approve the conditional use following public comment and discussion about traffic, design changes from an earlier approval and site access.

The applicant’s representative, Barrett Davidson of Davidson Engineering, told the commission the project had been previously approved Feb. 27, 2024, but the legal description of the parcel changed after the developer shifted the site westward when a new street extension (referred to in the meeting as “Naughty Pine Lane” / Elmhurst extension) was designed. Davidson said the revised plan also changed the mix of climate-controlled units to an approximate 60/40 ratio of climate-controlled to non–climate-controlled space and reduced some building square footage after updated market analysis and construction cost estimates.

Resident Patty Lack urged denial, citing traffic and safety concerns along Elmhurst and nearby intersections and said local police reports showed 60 accidents in the area over two years. Lack also said Arkansas Department of Transportation staff had not received permits related to proposed roadway work and she worried the project would open before planned Harrisburg Road widening and other street improvements.

City staff presented standard conditions that would accompany approval, including that all required local and statewide permits and inspections be obtained and that any development over 75,000 square feet receive site plan approval from the MAPC. Commissioners questioned why the project differed substantially from the large “big-box” style facility previously approved and whether the altered design addressed traffic and visual impacts.

A motion to approve was made and seconded; the chair called for an aye/nay voice vote and later stated, “So it looks as all the conditional uses failed,” reflecting that the motion did not carry. No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript. City staff advised the applicant the decision could be appealed to city council or the applicant could wait six months to resubmit.

Commissioners and the applicant discussed possible next steps: the applicant asked what changes would be required to obtain support, and staff said detailed design features would need to be revised and would be considered at a future submittal if the applicant reapplied or appealed.

The commission’s denial leaves intact previous conditions from the February 2024 approval only as historical record; because the legal description changed and no construction began within the required timeframe, the commission treated the conditional-use request as a new matter.","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission declined a conditional-use permit for a proposed climate-controlled and non–climate-controlled storage facility at Elmhurst Drive after public safety and design concerns and changes to the previously approved site plan were raised.","actionData","errors"]
