Planning commission approves Woodridge Place Phase 4 with sprinkler stipulation
Summary
The Jonesboro planning commission approved the preliminary plat for Woodridge Place Subdivision Phase 4, a 27‑lot addition, but required residential fire sprinklers on all new lots because the subdivision has only one access road.
The Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on June 9 approved the preliminary plat for Woodridge Place Subdivision Phase 4, a 27‑lot addition that the applicant said fits the surrounding development. Darren Williams of McAllister Engineering described the phase as another stage of an ongoing subdivision and said no rezoning is requested.
City planning staff recommended approval but included one stipulation: because the proposed subdivision has a single way in and out, all new lots must be required to have residential fire sprinkler systems. After brief questions from commissioners, the panel moved, seconded and voted to approve the preliminary subdivision with the staff stipulation.
The action was procedural and did not change existing zoning. Staff noted further design standards and technical reviews will continue during the final‑plat process. The commission did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript; the chair announced that the preliminary subdivision was approved and moved on to the next agenda item.
