Planning Commission schedules rezoning hearing for June 9


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.
