Planning commission approves site plan for proposed Jonesboro Sportsplex at 1925 Race Street
Summary
The City of Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved a 180,125-square-foot site plan for a proposed Jonesboro Sportsplex at 1925 Race Street, with a conditional use permit to be considered at the next meeting.
The City of Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on March 25 approved a site plan for a proposed Jonesboro Sportsplex at 1925 Race Street.
The plan, submitted by Associated Engineering LLC, proposes a roughly 180,125-square-foot structure on land zoned R-1 (single-family medium-density). The commission chair opened the item for staff comment; the city planner said the application package had been reviewed and that a conditional use permit will be the next step at the commission’s following meeting.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the site plan during the meeting; the chair announced, “Ayes have it. Site plan is approved.” The approval was made with the stipulation that the applicant obtain conditional use approval at the next meeting, as the planner indicated that conditional-use review remains outstanding.
The planner told the commission that staff had completed its review of the submitted materials and that “we still have 1 more step. That will be a conditional use permit. That will be at our next meeting.” No specific timeline for the conditional use hearing was given in the meeting record.
The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript excerpt for this motion; the chair simply announced approval. The conditional-use permit, when heard, will determine whether the proposed uses associated with the Sportsplex meet the city’s zoning and overlay requirements.
No public comments on the Sportsplex were recorded in the meeting excerpt.
