Olive Branch planning commission extends recording deadline for Henley Industrial final plat with truck-stop vesting condition
Summary
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to extend by one year the time to record the final plat for Henley Industrial Subdivision, adding a condition that uses as a convenience store with pumps or a truck stop are subject to vested-rights rules and require the final plat be recorded by Sept. 30, 2025 to remain vested.
The Olive Branch Planning Commission on a unanimous vote extended by one year the deadline to record the final plat for Henley Industrial Subdivision, while adding a condition tying truck-stop uses to the city—s vested-rights provisions.
Planning staff told commissioners the two-lot, 9.89-acre plat at the intersection of Newcraf Road and Old Highway 78 was approved previously and that the applicant is now adding a stormwater management easement to Lot 1 for a proposed truck stop. Planning staff recommended a one-year extension to record the final plat, subject to four standard staff conditions and an added condition clarifying vested-rights treatment for convenience stores with four pumps or truck stops.
The added condition states that “the use of any of the lots as a convenience store with 4 pumps or as a truck stop is subject to vested rights provisions regarding such uses as stipulated in Article 9, Section 11 of the zoning ordinance of the City of Olive Branch, including the requirement that the final plat must be recorded by 09/30/2025.” Planning staff said that if the final plat is not recorded by that date, the developer would need to obtain a conditional-use permit from the Board of Zoning Adjustment before developing the site as a truck stop.
Commissioner Stratton moved to approve the one-year extension subject to staff conditions; Commissioner Singh seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
The extension preserves the applicant—s ability to proceed under the previously approved plat and creates a clear procedural trigger tied to the city—s vested-rights provision for truck-stop uses. If the developer misses the Sept. 30, 2025 recording deadline, the city indicated the matter would return to the Board of Zoning Adjustment for conditional-use review before a pump-equipped convenience store or truck-stop operation could proceed.
Next steps: with the extension in place, the applicant may record the plat within the extended period. If the plat is recorded by the stated date, staff indicated the lot would remain vested for the permitted use; if not, the conditional-use route would apply.
