The request, presented by John Heasley of Associate Engineering and representatives for Hammerhead Consulting and Greensboro Village, sought to bring roughly 33.28 acres (applicant descriptions referenced 22.5 acres plus 10.5 acres and other related acreage) into the TCO. The change would allow the applicant to apply the Greensboro Village pattern book rules for mixed-use, multifamily and single-family development. Applicants said portions of the land are under contract and that sewer extensions are planned; city staff and developers discussed sewer design, easement agreements and phasing. The developer's representative said the sewer across the north would be designed and submitted to City Water and Light for review and that the sewer work could be completed by the end of the year, based on verbal easements from neighboring property owners.

Public comment included a request from neighboring property owner Graham McDaniel for a minimum 50-foot buffer of existing trees and for interior parking locations rather than parking adjacent to his property. Commissioners rehearsed earlier discussion from a pre-application meeting and pressed developers on ownership, sewer timing and whether the current proposal materially differed from a rezoning request the commission rejected six months earlier. Developers said the current request does not increase multifamily beyond the capped percentage in the Greensboro Village pattern book and that the proposed relocation of 10 acres of multifamily to commercial would reduce, not increase, multifamily density on the site.

Developer representatives and counsel offered four volunteer stipulations to address neighborhood concerns; staff added those to the record. The stipulations read into the record included:

- Amend the pattern book prior to council approval to conform to a 70% residential / 30% multifamily ratio in the plan book and design guidelines;
- Provide a minimum 50-foot buffer of existing trees on the west side of the multifamily parcel and keep interior parking within the development rather than adjacent to neighboring parcels;
- Move 10 acres of multifamily from the northeast corner of Greensboro and redesignate that 10-acre tract on the southeast parcel as multifamily while the northeast 10 acres become commercial;
- No multifamily building permits for the 10-acre tract shall be pulled until sewer permits have been approved and pulled by City Water and Light;
- Build the proposed 55+ community in alignment with the concept presented (trails, clubhouse and internal green space) and include the concept drawings in the packet to City Council.

Commissioners discussed the enforceability of stipulations, the role of the pattern book and the limits of commission control after rezoning: staff and counsel clarified that an approved pattern book and the rezoning follow to council for final action and that the planning department enforces site-plan and permit compliance. Several commissioners asked for the concept plan in a council-ready PDF to attach to the rezoning. The commission voted to approve the rezoning with the listed stipulations and to forward it with a favorable recommendation to City Council; the applicant was instructed to update the pattern book and submit the plan with the rezoning packet for council consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jonesboro - Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on 2025-04-08 5:30 PM - Apr 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted April 8 to bring multiple tracts into the Greensboro Village Town Center Overlay, approving the rezoning contingent on a set of voluntary stipulations addressing buffers, sewer timing and pattern-book changes.","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},6610112,"Planning commission recommends rezoning at 5905 East Johnson Avenue to C-3",121,668990,790875,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2904609-e7c1820f0478ab6986dfa7b7c98112eb&start=668&end=790","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2904609-e7c1820f0478ab6986dfa7b7c98112eb/thumbnail_668990.jpg","/articles/6610112/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-at-5905-East-Johnson-Avenue-to-C-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610112-a66878b346f00549dcbe297864fa7068/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164126&Signature=C14Hgx7-GL-iM32HQUM0ELLneFyt1r6AGm8hxqIUuOk2xPHlXs~tQskTo5-POj0qc7dpEtYrRAqMNfgaXwFfcwY1Z~OhOXocbX4w-MIh~NpXnm~H9b7vHx1fExCKEDxy8ZI6YI5PS3MU1jOQ~A33v80UDOzktVTPB1-kfsB9DC-yUDXT8wS3-2lD6G8aSkP-dsuhFto08lL~1GLH2ATEra~vwUqgqeMrJna5yhnMWKwLcV4XIzxxRFeZ3YjCzg-2gQzMb8VXb0gP4eIc1Vy5Afvtq3akY4UCBN3YcgxBXtTd-ZzlEbDahzt7mP0Pt5s0fv9ojgDXzevhghGbZALh7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on April 8 recommended approval of a rezoning request for one acre at 5905 East Johnson Avenue, moving the property from R-1 single-family medium-density to C-3 general commercial.

Applicant Ang Vu spoke to the commission and said the rezoning would allow future commercial development that he believes aligns with surrounding growth and the city's comprehensive land-use plan. City staff reviewed the application and recommended approval with stipulations including satisfaction of city engineer requirements, compliance with the stormwater drainage manual and floodplain regulations, submission of a final site plan meeting all ordinance requirements before redevelopment, and adherence to any overlay district standards.

No members of the public appeared to comment. A commissioner moved to approve the request and a second followed. The commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation to City Council; staff advised the applicant to place the rezoning on a City Council agenda before Thursday at 10:00 a.m. for final action.","Commissioners recommended approval of a rezoning request for 1 acre at 5905 East Johnson Avenue from R-1 to C-3, subject to standard site-plan and engineering stipulations.",{"_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},6610116,"Planning commission removes conditional-use requirement for Jonesboro Sportsplex site plan",132,524095,656135,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2904609-e7c1820f0478ab6986dfa7b7c98112eb&start=524&end=656","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2904609-e7c1820f0478ab6986dfa7b7c98112eb/thumbnail_524095.jpg","/articles/6610116/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Planning-commission-removes-conditional-use-requirement-for-Jonesboro-Sportsplex-site-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610116-3d6af279040bad60604e0576b042a657/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164126&Signature=HtfxP9C3RXKQoA5dTVbKG5a2-L7iCpI8t5ubD9-XvPeKQY0novFladx1ES7tvlBnSPIc24ZHXt808dVREgMb9SJC1DwFR~ji6y154oaHiLzYelSxtFFHHGE1wE~D52JHmECqziC~zXdG9z3sUaYJ4c5xNsmHItfDTKTbrqQqmwY~qCzlwTigJRI67VTmQpA7ojMj6oXU-bohP73xkmejW2ero-xxfiJ6fc7vhtIcMUvG5Wg6kxapngLn6Im0-~tYmwPe4rPikjVzMgJ6vDUKPi2pbzfn-DB1g~WZrodExenew8Psq2CIoNHoMl4C8bZI9vyoHwIJkcUmHZRDiV3Odw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on April 8 voted to remove a previously imposed conditional-use requirement for an amended site plan for the Jonesboro Sportsplex at 1925 Array Street.

Staff and the applicant explained that the proposal was initially classified under “government services” but recreational uses are excluded from that definition and better fit the town's park classification. The change affects whether the project needs a conditional-use permit; commissioners were asked to consider removing that condition so the project could proceed under park standards. City staff noted AMP funding may be used for parks under state law.

Associate Engineering LLC presented the amended site plan for a proposed complex of approximately 180,125 square feet in an R-1 single-family medium-density zoning district. Commissioners discussed the classification change and the relevant review process. Commissioner Styling moved to remove the conditional-use requirement; Commissioner Monroe seconded. The motion passed with a majority vote and the applicant subsequently indicated they would withdraw the conditional-use request.

Staff said the development will continue through the normal review process and that final site-plan approval will remain subject to ordinance requirements and engineering review.","The commission agreed the Sportsplex proposal fits the Park classification and removed a conditional-use requirement, allowing site-plan review to proceed under park use rules.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6610119,"Planning commission approves 81,856-sq.-ft.

The project proposes a structure of approximately 81,856 square feet in the C-3 General Commercial District. Todd Butler of Ozark Civil Engineering presented the plan and told commissioners that completing the sidewalk to the east side had been a challenge but “we got that done today.”

City staff said the submittal was before the commission because the building exceeds the 75,000-square-foot threshold and will undergo full staff review before final approval. Commissioners asked whether a different development would require a new review; staff confirmed the approval applies only to this facility and a different project would need separate review if it exceeded the threshold.

Commissioner Dennis Zilber moved to approve the site plan; Commissioner Haley seconded. There were no recorded opposing votes and the motion passed.

The commission did not record additional conditions beyond the standard staff review that will follow. The project will return to staff-level review for engineering, drainage and other ordinance compliance before building permits are issued.","The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved a site plan for an 81,856-square-foot Reliance Health facility at 1625 West Parker Road in the C-3 General Commercial District with no recorded opposition.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6610103,"Commission grants motion to reconsider conditional-use hearing for 5500 Stadium Boulevard; rehearing set for April 22",122,4535175,4657605,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2904609-e7c1820f0478ab6986dfa7b7c98112eb&start=4535&end=4657","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2904609-e7c1820f0478ab6986dfa7b7c98112eb/thumbnail_4535175.jpg","/articles/6610103/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Commission-grants-motion-to-reconsider-conditional-use-hearing-for-5500-Stadium-Boulevard-rehearing-set-for-April-22","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610103-e0525f201c6da743666c12247bf7e027/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164126&Signature=KvU~o-ptspzwGanXigGoRjyAQY02sDSknUpCmFq1uraXhG8BDnxztnzX-3Y73l4fHtPyJkrBOxBhUxxJr1aXDf6RmkCdvg2cibYXixP3X1r2urjDexXlI2cSaVA3IMaP220hanB3xXR6GdcgJNf7P37nVwpz2u-jb-E4ZhlV6NU2UJII05VTjWWBy7BAFLlHP0bo1kk~Vie9XcfdO88PMprzeBbcqXqfK6wPVjJ62HO6jGJwJOlmPkSOqTZqq3ebSjDBonsH5hJb16OK66mD-IeACx2kLcNYRwbH7B~aRSQHjUVF-kcQii9HkN6~USElDuCAwTXAt2aXcvxGbGrWgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the end of the April 8 meeting, a commissioner moved to reconsider the conditional-use matter for 5500 Stadium Boulevard after the applicant asked to be reheard.
