Planning commission recommends rezoning 13.86 acres at Kathleen Street and Pacific Road for future subdivision access
Summary
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended rezoning 13.86 acres from AG-1 to RS-7 to create a second ingress/egress for an adjacent subdivision and to incorporate the land into a Phase 2 plan for Phillips Family Investments LLC.
The City of Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning 13.86 acres at Kathleen Street and Pacific Road from AG-1 (agricultural) to RS-7 (single-family residential) to allow the land to be incorporated into Phase 2 of a nearby subdivision and to provide a second ingress/egress.
Garrett Dunham of Fisher Arnold represented Phillips Family Investments LLC, saying the parcel was purchased to provide a second ingress/egress to the subdivision immediately east and to be incorporated into the larger, previously approved phased plan. City planning staff recommended approval with conditions: the site must meet city-engineer requirements, comply with the current stormwater drainage design manual, and satisfy flood-plain regulations. Final site-plan review and planning-department approval will be required before redevelopment.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval and approved the request by voice vote; the transcript does not record individual vote tallies or the names of the motion’s maker and seconder. Staff reminded the applicant to schedule the item on the City Council agenda by the Thursday 10:00 a.m. slot and to coordinate with planning staff for next steps.
The rezoning recommendation is procedural: it authorizes a change in zoning to enable subdivision access and to fold the parcel into an approved phased plan; detailed engineering and site-plan conditions remain subject to subsequent review.
