Board previews Pea Ridge small-area plan and several annexation and rezoning cases
Summary
Planning staff previewed the Pea Ridge Small Area Plan (up for adoption) and multiple annexation and rezoning cases from Canton and Ball Ground, including a 48-acre Canton annexation proposing 167 units and a Ball Ground annexation proposing two 80,000-sq-ft light-industrial buildings.
Staff summarized the Pea Ridge small-area plan (scheduled for adoption) and several annexation and rezoning items that will appear on the evening agenda. The Pea Ridge presentation will be submitted as an amendment to the county comprehensive plan; staff said they would provide the presentation that ERC delivered last month to facilitate public comment. Chair and commissioners flagged that the plan does not make a definitive recommendation on desired zoning for parts of the area and asked for clarity on whether annexation into Canton was part of the community preference.
Planners previewed a Canton annexation application for roughly 48 acres proposing 167 units (about 40 townhomes and 112 detached homes), a commercial tract and a future light-industrial tract. Commissioners raised safety concerns about the Ball Ground Highway intersection and suggested making road improvements a condition of approval. Staff also reviewed a Ball Ground annexation seeking light-industrial use and buffer variances; the proposal includes two ~80,000-square-foot buildings, outdoor storage, and stream buffers that will require review.
