Jonesboro council gives first reading to rezoning at 5905 E. Johnson Ave.
Summary
On April 15 the Jonesboro City Council gave first reading to Ordinance 25-011 to rezone 5905 East Johnson Avenue from single-family (R-1) to general commercial (C-3); no public comment or substantive council debate was recorded and the measure will return for further readings.
On April 15, 2025, the Jonesboro City Council gave a first reading to Ordinance 25-011, which would rezone the property at 5905 East Johnson Avenue from R-1 (residential single family) to C-3 (general commercial).
The ordinance text was read aloud during the meeting. An unidentified council speaker read the title: "An ordinance rezoning property located at 5905 East Johnson Avenue in Jonesboro, Arkansas from R1 residential single family to C3 general commercial and for other purposes." No members of the public were in the chamber to speak on the item, and the council recorded no additional discussion before the item was set to proceed to its next reading.
Rezoning would change the parcel's allowable uses from single-family residential to broader commercial uses; the council did not take a final vote on adoption at this meeting. The ordinance will return to the council for subsequent readings and any further public input required by city procedure.
The council had earlier approved the consent agenda and moved through new business items with limited discussion; no documents providing a staff recommendation or zoning analysis were presented in the public record included with the meeting transcript.
Votes at the meeting were procedural: the motion to suspend rules and read Ordinance 25-011 by title only carried by voice vote, and the item was advanced to the next reading.
No timeline for final action on Ordinance 25-011 was given during the meeting.
