The Alexander Planning Commission has scheduled a public hearing to
receive input from residents and property owners on a rezoning
request for the vacant lot located at the northeast corner of East
2nd Street and Main Street. The property is across from
Fire House 2.
At
a special meeting, held May 19, planning
commission members
heard a proposal presented by Jonathan Hope, of Hope Consulting in
Benton, to rezone the vacant property to multi-family housing (ie.
apartments).
Currently,
the property is zoned for
single-family
detached dwellings, duplexes, manufactured homes, modular
homes, and prefabricated homes.
Hope
is representing Heritage
Homes
& Development
of
Central
Arkansas.
The
developer is currently constructing three multi-family structures in
Alexander on property surrounded by East 1st
Street, A.C. Wallace and East 2nd
Street. When completed the three single-story buildings will house 14
apartments. This new project will consist of two single-story
buildings housing a total of nine apartments built in the same style
as the other project.
The
rezoning hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 PM in the
courtroom at city hall. Following the public hearing the planning
commission will begin its regular June meeting in which committee
members will decide whether to recommend to the city council approval
of the rezoning request. The public is encouraged to attend.
Due
to the adherence of Federal
and State
guidelines for social distancing during the ongoing CoVid-19
pandemic
seating is limited. Face masks are optional.
