Board approves side-setback variance to regularize Tractor Supply building
Summary
The board approved a variance to accommodate an existing building on the Tractor Supply site that sits closer to the south property line than current code allows; the applicant said it is not a new addition but an existing condition being regularized.
The Jonesboro Planning Board approved a side-setback variance for the proposed Tractor Supply site to bring an existing building into compliance with current setback requirements. Jake Butler, representing the developer, said the building was constructed long ago and simply does not meet the current 10-foot setback standard "it's just the existing building right now that's not in compliance," and the requested variance would regularize that condition rather than add new structure.
Board members asked for clarification on the building location and sight lines; staff confirmed the structure was built under older rules and that the variance request is intended to match the existing footprint. A motion to grant the setback variance was made and passed on a roll-call vote. The board recorded the approval and staff will note the variance on the site plan and in permit records.
