Council approves rezoning for Arrow Landing Phase 1 to allow duplexes and patio‑home sales
Summary
The council rezoned a frontage parcel on South Jefferson Avenue from limited commercial (CL) to RS‑2 residential to permit the Arrow Landing Phase 1 subdivision entrance and duplex/patio‑home construction; the ordinance becomes Nos. 7,083.
The Lebanon City Council voted to rezone the phase‑one entrance for the Arrow Landing subdivision at the 2400 block of South Jefferson Avenue from CL (limited commercial) to RS‑2 (residential), approving Council Bill 68‑40 on second reading and adopting Ordinance No. 7,083.
City planning staff said the rezoning is required to allow single‑family homes and duplexes in the front piece along Jefferson. A developer presenting the project said phase 1 includes 50 lots to be built as duplexes, creating 100 individual units that the company plans to sell as patio homes—each duplex will be split and sold so a buyer can purchase one side.
The developer described road and access plans: the phase‑one entrance will connect to the existing neighborhood road network and the overall subdivision will include multiple exits to address neighborhood concerns about limited access. The developer said lots adjacent to Highway 5 were intentionally made larger, with houses pushed to the east to provide larger side yards for buffer and privacy.
Council raised questions about gates, fences and the size of lots facing Highway 5; the developer said there are no planned gated entrances and that the plan was designed in part to respond to neighborhood input. The developer also said the company plans to phase later connections to Ozark and additional exits in later phases.
A motion to approve the rezoning passed on second reading; the roll call recorded unanimous affirmative votes, and the ordinance was adopted as No. 7,083.
Councilmembers and staff noted the rezoning is intended to increase density and housing supply in that area while addressing neighborhood circulation concerns. The developer said the phase will be followed by additional phases and that the company intends to sell units to homeowners and investors.
