Planning commission approves new RV campsite special use permit on Shepherd Hills Expressway
Summary
On April 1, 2025, the Branson Planning Commission approved a special use permit allowing an RV campsite with about 14 spaces at 2802 Shepherd Of The Hills Expressway, subject to three conditions including platting the property before building permits and an expiration date of April 1, 2026.
BRANSON, Mo. — The Branson Planning Commission on April 1 approved a special use permit to operate an RV campsite at 2802 Shepherd Of The Hills Expressway, allowing approximately 14 RV spaces, a small office and an on-site manager apartment.
Planning staff said the parcel is zoned community commercial and that a campground or vehicle park is allowed there by special use permit. Staff presented a conceptual site plan and recommended approval with three conditions: compliance with all applicable city, state and federal requirements; platting of the subject property prior to issuance of a building permit; and an expiration clause stating the permit will be null and void if conditions are not acted upon by April 1, 2026.
The commission voted 6-0 to approve the permit. Applicant representatives — identified in the meeting as owners from 5 Star Hospitality and the owner “Jim” — and technical consultants from Great River Engineering were present for questions, according to staff.
In its presentation, planning staff said the vacant, relatively flat parcel has access to water, sewer and other utilities and sits adjacent to a hotel and apartment complexes. Staff said the proposed RV park is consistent with the City’s 2030 preferred land-use map, which designates the area as community commercial, and that the development will undergo standard reviews by planning, public works, engineering, fire, stormwater and building divisions before permits are issued.
Commission discussion included a clarification question about whether the conditions shown in the proposed resolution were required to be stated during the vote. A commissioner asked, “Now when we vote on this, do we need to state that it has to have those conditions or is it just No.” A staff member answered that the conditions are included in the resolution.
Staff emphasized that the property must be platted prior to building permits and that if the conditions are not acted upon by April 1, 2026, the permit will lapse. No public opposition was recorded in the transcript.
Action taken: the commission approved the special use permit by a 6-0 roll-call vote. The recorded votes show six “yes” votes and zero “no” votes.
