Planning board approves replacement asphalt plant at Highway 231 site
Summary
The planning board approved a major development request for ASC Ventures 1 LLC to replace an asphalt batch plant at 730–732 Highway 231, finding the site is in a heavy-industrial area and staff recommended approval; vote was 5-0.
The Panama City Planning Board unanimously approved a major development request on May 11 for ASC Ventures 1 LLC to replace an existing asphalt batch plant at parcels listed as 730 and 732 Highway 231.
Staff said the site is in a heavy-industrial zoning district and recommended approval. A representative for the applicant described the proposal as an upgrade to a more stable batch plant to meet regional demand and said existing landscaping required by the original development order would remain.
The board debated no substantive compatibility issues and moved to approve the request. The motion passed on a 5-0 roll call.
The approval is a planning-board recommendation where required development orders and technical-review committee (TRC) steps will still apply for any construction permits and environmental or operational mitigations.
