Votes at a glance: Springdale City Council approves multiple rezones, waivers, contracts and resolutions
Summary
City Council voted unanimously on a package of ordinances, rezones, waivers and resolutions, approved the CDBG action plan and tabled two appeal items to April 22.
The Springdale City Council on March 25 approved a series of ordinances, resolutions and motions. Most items passed by voice vote with 5‑0 tallies; several ordinances will take effect in 30 days because the mayor could not cast an emergency‑clause vote as the sixth vote.
Key outcomes at a glance:
- Rezoning R25‑11 (3446 Wagon Wheel Road, agricultural to general commercial): passed 5‑0; effect in 30 days unless applicant requests an emergency clause at the next meeting.
- Rezoning R25‑12 (8692 East Wagon Wheel Road, agricultural to low‑medium density single‑family residential): passed 5‑0; effect in 30 days.
- Rezoning R25‑14 (5720 East Wharton Road, annexed tract to general commercial): passed 5‑0; effect in 30 days.
- Rezoning R25‑16 (1600 West Graham Road, agricultural to institutional for an existing church): passed 5‑0; effect in 30 days.
- Replat RP25‑02 (Lot 7 and 8, Butterfield): accepted; passed 5‑0; applicant requested to move effect to earlier meeting if needed; council accommodated timeline options.
- Sidewalk waivers W25‑06 (4255 Kelly Road) and W25‑09 (116 Suttle Drive): each approved with option 1, votes 5‑0.
- Items 9 and 10 (an appeal and related request): tabled to April 22 at applicant request; motions carried 5‑0.
- Resolution adopting the 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) action plan: passed 5‑0.
- Mutual‑aid fire agreement between the City of Springdale and the City of Tyetown: approved 5‑0.
- Ordinance amending ordinance 6037 to correct the named manager on a private‑club permit for Raise the Bar Foundation (required for ABC licensing): passed 5‑0; staff said they will return with an emergency clause in two weeks to expedite licensing.
Procedural and scheduling items included approving minutes, moving the April committee meeting to March 31, and a motion to adjourn. Most ordinances with emergency clauses could not be made effective immediately because the mayor may be the sixth vote to waive readings but cannot cast the emergency‑clause vote; applicants were given the option to return in two weeks to request an emergency clause so the ordinance would take effect sooner.
