Planning staff told commissioners the PD revocation satisfies criteria in city code for revoking planned developments and that the property — currently vacant but containing an existing foundation built circa 2006–2008 — is suited to a combination of commercial and residential uses. \"Staff recommends approval of this application with one condition, and that is that the approval is contingent upon the approval of the rezoning of the subject property,\" planning staff (Jennifer) said.

The rezoning application showed a proposed pattern of CC along Highway 65 frontage, transitioning to NC and then MDR toward the Branson Hills Golf Course. Planning staff said buffering requirements and a required L‑2 buffer between MDR and NC will apply. The applicant, represented by Todd Chandler of Great River Engineering, indicated a portion of the site is proposed for a flooring store on the east side of the property.

Neighbor Gary Leach of 159 Yale spoke in support. \"We're very excited about the possibility of something real being put there,\" Leach told the commission, saying neighbors had long watched the parcel and welcomed redevelopment.

Action: The commission approved repeal of ordinance 2007‑087 / PD‑07‑005 and voted 7–0 to recommend rezoning the property to CC, NC and MDR. Staff noted a follow‑up minor subdivision will be required to align parcels with the proposed zoning districts.

What happens next: The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for consideration. Approval is conditioned on the rezoning and on completion of a minor subdivision to parcel the property consistent with the new district boundaries.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Branson - Planning Commission - Regular Meeting - 9/2/25","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission voted 7–0 to repeal PD ordinance 2007‑087 for the Branson Ridge Winery and Marketplace and recommended rezoning 648 Sunrise Drive to Community Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial and Medium Density Residential, contingent on a minor subdivision to align lot lines with the new zones.","taxTitle","Branson, Taney County, Missouri","taxId",52005,"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},6130717,"Planning commission approves vacation of remnant right‑of‑way at 218 S.

Planning staff presented the application and said the right‑of‑way appears on a 1970 plat that included a note indicating the strip was to be vacated, but staff could not find an ordinance confirming that vacatur. Staff said the remnant is roughly 25 feet wide by about 140 feet long and that the city mailed notices to nearby property owners and contacted utilities; \"There were no objections to this vacate,\" staff told the commission.

Brad Ferguson of Great River Engineering is the applicant; Todd Chandler represented the applicant at the hearing. Staff recommended approval to provide a clear title for the planned renovation work.

Action: The commission approved the street‑vacation request by a 7–0 roll call vote.

What it means: The approval clears an outstanding title issue for the parcel and removes an ambiguous right‑of‑way notation from older plats. Staff said major utility providers, the fire department and Public Works registered no objections during the public‑notice process.

Next steps: The city will record the approved vacation ordinance and proceed with standard title‑clearing and permitting processes for the property owner’s renovation plans.","The commission voted 7–0 to vacate a 25‑by‑140‑foot remnant of Maywood Street adjacent to 218 South Old County Road to clear title for renovation work at the Branson Manor senior living facility; utilities raised no objections.",{"_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},6130722,"Planning commission postpones Elevate Branson hearings after zoning questions and stop‑work orders",1038,992000,2030000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736368-eb09ee4657557ae8b348a01d16886eae&start=992&end=2030","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736368-eb09ee4657557ae8b348a01d16886eae/thumbnail_992000.jpg","/articles/6130722/Branson/Taney-County/Missouri/Planning-commission-postpones-Elevate-Branson-hearings-after-zoning-questions-and-stopwork-orders","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6130722-ee757065d98daf0547b06929f2588561/orig.mp4?Expires=1776236322&Signature=QRnGFlqNXws63304VpvGlLl~BUGFB2GjJsrXhyBtD98DyVxQkjC8FmpoiCIduwf2LMJHiLisHhsG2eMINHeCe~o24E5fk5sbrLV~Dto2-wetf-HJBnB7A2a8GVmgIJoq4waYJpqp3F7O-Mc7yCVW2JOWe0umsdeN87dK69KvMNQgM7kqEk7lHYZcPjhoNs6LsXrG37bLHbnD43r0dO5oOs~cOFMb9LB2yBy0kpP3fMnYe4La6QLMesFQ0IsxYp-NQiGIQc~QX00QWdkAlOq6fmfpzjLH1eLkjM1iMnmvGMAm9eE17laqAqhQOdrflNNY1rDDdwEo5Gvgu-ioqNnWOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Branson Planning Commission members on Sept. 2, 2025, voted unanimously to postpone public hearings on Elevate Branson’s preliminary plat and plan development to Oct. 7, 2025, after staff and building‑services officials said outstanding zoning clarifications and permit issues remain unresolved.

The continuances came after planning staff said revised plans were still outstanding and the item needs review by the Park Board on Sept. 16 before it returns to the commission. \"We do request a continuance, please,\" planning staff told the commission. Todd Chandler, a representative of Great River Engineering speaking for applicant Brian Stallings of Elevate Branson, said the applicant had received late comments and was seeking confirmation that parts of the property could proceed under the city’s HDR (High Density Residential) zoning instead of a planned development.

Why it matters: The developer and staff disagree about whether proposed tiny homes and associated commercial buildings can proceed under the existing HDR zoning or require a planned development (PD). That distinction affects review requirements, permitted uses and how the property must be platted.

Planning staff and the applicant said the core issues are (1) whether the tiny‑home parcel meets HDR requirements and (2) outstanding platting for property that was never formally platted. \"Apparently the property was never platted,\" Chandler said, noting that platting a single five‑acre parcel could be a faster route than combining four parcels into one PD plat.

Building Services Director Norm Teague told the commission the department had been seeking submissions from Elevate for months and had issued stop‑work orders after construction began without permits. \"In early May ... we issued 4 stop work orders for the tiny homes,\" Teague said. He added that inspectors later found additional foundation work and that the department issued three more stop‑work orders. Teague described multiple meetings with the applicant and other city staff and said it was only on the preceding Friday that staff were told Elevate was withdrawing pursuit of the PD.

Commissioner Seitz said the repeated continuances were a concern and asked whether the issues could be resolved by Oct. 7. Chandler and Stallings said they hoped to resolve outstanding questions and submit a revised plat by the filing deadline to meet the Oct. 7 hearing. \"We would just have to revise our preliminary plat to show, basically just platting that 5 acre parcel,\" Chandler said.

Action: The commission voted 7–0 to postpone both the preliminary plat and the plan‑development public hearings to Oct. 7, 2025. The plat — if refiled — will return to the planning commission after Park Board review and is scheduled for first reading and public hearing before the Board of Aldermen on Oct. 28, 2025, if moved forward.

The record: Planning staff said the project history stretches back several years with multiple staff and attorney changes, and that internal review was ongoing. Teague said Building Services had repeatedly offered assistance but required formal submittals before permits could proceed.

Next steps: The applicant said it will seek confirmation on HDR eligibility and refile a simplified plat for the five‑acre portion. The commission set Oct. 7 as the next hearing date for both items.","The Branson Planning Commission postponed public hearings on Elevate Branson’s preliminary plat and plan development to Oct. 7, 2025, after staff flagged missing revised plans, unresolved HDR‑zoning questions and multiple stop‑work orders for unpermitted construction.","actionData","errors"]
