Commission forwards rezoning request for 1601 Granger Drive to City Council
Summary
The planning commission voted April 14 to recommend approval of RZ2607, moving 1601 Granger Drive from RM-8 to RS-5 with conditions; the applicant was instructed to seek City Council consideration.
The City of Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on April 14 recommended that City Council approve rezoning request RZ2607 for 1601 Granger Drive, forwarding the application with standard staff stipulations.
The application, submitted for applicant William Conrad, was presented by engineer Jeremy Bevel of Crafton Tool, who described the property as a 0.44-acre tract and said the "ultimate plan is put 2 single family homes on each lot" (as stated in the transcript). The city planner told commissioners the rezoning request met the six criteria for rezoning and recommended approval with stipulations similar to those applied to other rezoning petitions: the site must satisfy city engineer requirements, comply with the stormwater drainage design manual and floodplain regulations for new construction, and submit a final site plan meeting ordinance requirements for planning department approval prior to redevelopment; future changes of use will also require planning review.
There was no public comment recorded on the item. A motion to recommend approval was moved and seconded; the commission recorded a favorable recommendation and the chair noted the item should be placed on the City Council agenda for final action.
The commission’s recommendation is advisory; City Council will make the final zoning determination on RZ2607.
