Council overturns planning commission to allow limited outdoor storage at 4100 Wagon Wheel
Summary
After discussion of a site plan and a verbal agreement about paving scope, Springdale City Council voted 6-2 to overturn the planning commission and approve an appeal that allows the applicant to limit paving north of a proposed fence at 4100 Wagon Wheel Road.
Springdale City Council on Tuesday voted 6-2 to overturn a planning commission decision and approve an appeal that narrows the city’s paving requirement at 4100 Wagon Wheel Road.
The applicant had agreed to pave parking and drives on the front and side of the site but proposed to keep two rear buildings and an enclosed area for occasional outdoor storage laid as gravel and not permanently paved. Planning staff said the applicant committed to paving everything from the proposed fence forward and would show the paving on the site plan required for final approval.
Why it matters: The council’s action allows a property owner to use part of the lot for outdoor equipment and materials storage without full paving of the rear portion, subject to conditions, and it reverses the planning commission, which failed to approve the variance at its hearing. The lot lies in an area that had recent rezoning activity earlier in the meeting; the council had approved a related rezoning (R25-22) for other Wagon Wheel parcels earlier in the agenda.
Sharon Tromberg, director of planning and community development, explained the applicant had agreed to pave required parking in front and near the fence line and that the fence would be located so the paved drive aisle maintained a 24-foot clear drive. Planning staff said the applicant must show the paving on the non-large development plan before receiving final approvals.
A motion was made to overturn the planning commission denial and approve the appeal; the motion carried 6-2.
Ending: The council’s approval was recorded as an overturn of the planning commission decision; staff said the applicant must include the agreed paving on the site plan for final signoff and that failure to show the paving would require further council review or denial of final permits.
