The Bryant City Council has called a special meeting tonight at the Boswell Center to hear the second readings of two ordinances.[more]
The Council will read an ordinance ammending the comprehensive zoning ordinance of Bryant to rezone certain property from C-2 and R-2 to C-2 for JOCON on Boone Road.
The second ordinance concerns the comprehensive zoning of certain property from R-1 to C-2 for a Dollar General story off of Highway 5.
"I've got a customer who wants to put in an engineering business," said Robert Jones of JOCON, Inc., who requested to rezone property from R-2 and C-2 to C-2 highway commercial at 507 Boone Road, south of Tanglewood Street. The property itself has been used for an industrial business for many years.
"We are submitting an application for the zoning of the property we have owned for 12 years," Jones said in a letter to the Commission. "Half of it was re-zoned at the time of purchase and we would like to rezone the balance of the area to C-2, the same as the south half."
It was also imperative in the last City Planning Commission meeting that Paxton Singleton's request to rezone property from R1 to C2 at 9415 Highway 5 North had to be passed by the Commission and read three times at the last City Council meeting. Singleton's request for a replat of lot 109 into a Dollar General store on 9415 Highway 5 north was passed, as was the preliminary plat approval for Hickory Hill subdivision and Stonehill Phase 4, which is seven lots in the Stonehill Estates.
The Council did not read either ordinance three times during the last City Council meeting and this special session was called to give the ordinances their second reading before next week's November City Council meeting.
