Planning Commission approves five rezonings, BikeFest permit and C3 zoning cleanup; denies drainage-easement waiver
Summary
Bentonvilleplanning commissioners approved five rezonings, a conditional use permit for BikeFest 2025 and an ordinance narrowing permitted uses in the C3 mixed-use district, and denied a request to reduce a 20-foot drainage easement at NW Seventh and C Street.
The Bentonville Planning Commission on March 4 approved five rezoning requests and a conditional use permit for BikeFest 2025, and adopted an ordinance removing certain auto-oriented uses from the C3 mixed-use zoning district. The commission denied a waiver request to reduce a 20-foot drainage easement at NW Seventh and C Street.
Why it matters: The rezonings change the permitted uses and zoning classifications for multiple parcels in Bentonville; the C3 amendment removes drive-through restaurants and gas stations from the C3 category, a change staff said is intended to preserve walkable, mixed-use character where C3 can now apply outside downtown. The drainage-easement denial preserves the city's standard access for future maintenance of drainage infrastructure.
