Summary of Proceedings

Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Meeting - August 11, 2026

The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission of Jonesboro met on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at 5:30 PM. The meeting included the approval of previous minutes, consideration of a preliminary subdivision, and a rezoning request. Both agenda items were approved with stipulations.

Approval of Minutes

  • The minutes from the July 28, 2026 meeting were approved unanimously with no changes.

Discussion Items

  • Untabling of PP-26-11 (The Woods at 141): The item had been tabled at the previous meeting. A motion to untable passed unanimously.
  • Preliminary Subdivision – The Woods at 141: George Hammond of Civil Logic, representing Nick Shaft, presented a four-lot subdivision on West Thomas Green. The plan was revised to include shared driveways (single driveways serving lots 1/2 and lots 3/4) due to roadway classification. Staff confirmed compliance with subdivision code. The applicant requested preliminary and final approval simultaneously, which was permitted by the city planner. A motion for approval with stipulations requiring notations on the plat regarding shared driveways passed unanimously (all commissioners present voted aye).
  • Rezoning RZ-26-12 – 1411 Southern Ridge Blvd: Jeremy Bevill requested rezoning of approximately 7.5 acres from PD-M Multi-Family to PD-M Commercial (Block E, Southern Hills PUD). Staff recommended approval with three stipulations (satisfy city engineer requirements, stormwater and floodplain compliance, submit final site plan). The applicant clarified the change maintains mixed-use character of the PUD and reduces multifamily acreage. Commissioners discussed potential developability of remaining narrow strips, but the applicant stated no further commercial rezoning is planned in this area. The motion for approval with stipulations passed unanimously.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No public comments were offered for the rezoning item when the floor was opened.

Key Outcomes

  • PP-26-11 The Woods at 141: Approved for preliminary and final plat with stipulations regarding shared driveway notations.
  • RZ-26-12 (Bevill): Approved for rezoning from PD-M Multi-Family to PD-M Commercial with three staff-recommended stipulations. The applicant was advised to place the item on the city council agenda by Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
