Planning commission recommends rezoning for former Lexington Place Nursing Home to commercial
Summary
The Jonesboro planning commission unanimously recommended June 23 that the former Lexington Place Nursing Home on Browns Lane be rezoned from R-3 to C-3; staff said the application met all six rezoning criteria and recommended approval with standard engineering and stormwater conditions.
The Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted June 23 to recommend rezoning the former Lexington Place Nursing Home property on Browns Lane from R-3 (multifamily residential) to C-3 (general commercial), forwarding the recommendation to the City Council.
John Easley of Associated Engineering, speaking for Halsey Real Estate, presented the application and noted the parcel is currently the only residentially zoned site in an otherwise commercial area. City planner (staff) told the commission the application met all six rezoning criteria and recommended approval subject to standard conditions: compliance with city engineer requirements, the stormwater drainage design manual and floodplain regulations, submission and Planning Department approval of a final site plan before any redevelopment, and planning-department review of any future change of use.
The chair opened the public comment period and no members of the public spoke. A commissioner moved to approve the rezoning and another commissioner seconded; the commission then took a roll call vote and recorded affirmative responses, issuing a favorable recommendation to the City Council.
The planning commission’s recommendation carries standard predevelopment conditions and requires the applicant to meet the City Council ordinance deadline to place the item on the council agenda for final action.
