He shall prepare the content of a public notice, and ensure that the notice is published in a newspaper of general circulation with the city at least fifteen (15) days before the public hearing. (2) Hearing and Recommendation by the Planning Commission. The planning commission shall conduct a public hearing on the proposed amendment, hearing both the proponents and opponents, if any. Following the public hearing, the commission shall determine its recommendation (s) regarding the proposed amendment, and make such known to the city council. (3) Action by the City Council. After receiving the recommendation of the planning commission, the city council may approve the amendment as submitted; may approved a revised version they deem appropriate; refer it back to the planning commission for further study and consideration; table it; or deny it. If the city council action does not take place with six (6) months after the planning commissions public hearing, the amendment process must begin anew. (b) Change in District Boundary. A change in a district boundary, also referred to as a map amendment or a rezoning, may be proposed by the city council, the planning commission, or by a property owner or his legal agent. Such amendments shall be considered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. (1) Application Submittal. A complete application for change in district boundary or map amendment, hereafter referred to as a rezoning, shall be submitted to the city planner in a form established by him, along with a non-refundable processing fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00). Applications shall be filed by the 17 th of the month in order to be placed on the planning commission agenda for the subsequent months meeting, which is held on the second Tuesday thereof.

(4) The board of adjustment shall further make a finding that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this zoning ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. (5) In granting any variance, the board of zoning adjustment may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards that it deems necessary or desirable.

(2) Determine the amount of parking required for a use not listed herein. (3) Vary the parking regulations by not more than twenty-five percent (25%) where it is conclusively shown that the specific use of a building would make unnecessary the parking spaces otherwise required by this ordinance.

In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the board or a court of record on application, and notice to the person from whom the appeal was taken. (d) Time Limit on Permits. No order permitting the use of a building or premises, or the alteration or erection of a building shall be valid for a period longer than sixty (60) days unless such use is established or the erection or alteration is started within such period and proceeds to completion in accordance with the terms of a building permit.

Compatibility with surrounding property shall be insured to the maximum extent practicable Planning & Zoning Department * 300 S. Church St., 3rd Floor, Jonesboro, AR * (870) office * (870) fax

32 Article V Conditional Uses Sections: Nature and Description Development Standards and Review Guidelines Procedure for Authorizing Effect of Approval Sec Approval Criteria. Certain uses may or may not be appropriately located within various districts due to their unusual or unique characteristics of operation and external effects. Given their unusual character, analysis and judgment of the consequences of each development and use must be given so as to provide for such reasonable conditions and protective restrictions as are deemed necessary to protect the character and integrity of the area in which uses are proposed to be located. Such uses are listed under the various districts herein as conditional uses, and may be located in the district or districts so designated only in accordance with the procedure described herein. Sec Development Standards and Review Guidelines. All development shall be designed in such a way as to minimize any potential negative impact on the surrounding area. Special attention shall be given to buffering commercial developments from adjacent single-family areas. Design of the internal traffic circulation system, ingress and egress, off-street parking, loading and pedestrian-ways shall be sensitive to such conditions as safety, convenience, separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, general attractiveness, and the proper relationship of different land uses. Landscaped areas shall be provided to protect water quality, and reduce erosion, heat and glare. Such areas shall be maintained in an attractive condition. Existing trees on a development site shall be retained where possible. Screening, open space, or other buffer may be required to give adequate separation between uses which are not compatible and shall also be provided for the beautification and enhancement of the property. In carrying out the purpose of this section, the following development standards and design specifics shall be subject to review and approval. The appropriateness of these standards shall be determined for each specific conditional use location. (a) The proposed use is within the provision of conditional uses as set out in this Ordinance. (b) The proposed use conforms to all applicable provisions herein set out for the district in which it is to be located. (c) The proposed use is so designated, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected. (d) The proposed land use is compatible with and will not adversely affect other property in the area where it is proposed to be located. (e) The size and shape of the site, including the size, shape and arrangement of proposed structures, as well as signage related thereto, is in keeping with the intent of this Ordinance. (f) The proposed ingress and egress, internal circulation system, location and amount of off-street parking, loading and pedestrian-ways are sufficiently adequate, and not inconsistent with requirements of this Ordinance. (g) The proposed landscaping and screening of the proposed use are in accordance with provisions of this Ordinance. (h) Safeguards proposed to limit noxious or offensive emissions, including lighting, noise, glare, dust and odor are addressed. Sec Procedure for Authorizing. The following procedure is established to integrate properly the conditional use with other land uses located in the district. These uses shall be reviewed and authorized or rejected under the following procedure: (a) Application. An application shall be made by the property owner and filed with the city planner, upon forms prescribed for that purpose, accompanied with the appropriate fee established by the City Council to defray processing costs. The application shall be accompanied by graphic representation showing the location and proposed use of the site, along with such other descriptive material necessary for decision-making. Such may include, but is not limited to: preliminary site plans showing pro- Planning & Zoning Department * 300 S. Church St., 3rd Floor, Jonesboro, AR * (870) office * (870) fax

33 posed uses and structures; proposed ingress and egress to the site, including adjacent streets; proposed off-street parking and landscaping; lighting and signage; a preliminary plan for provision of sanitation and drainage facilities; and proximity of adjacent uses and buildings. Each application shall be verified by at least one of the owners of the property proposed to be changed, attesting to the truth and correctness of all facts and information presented with the application. The filing deadline for inclusion on the planning commission agenda shall be the 17th day of the month preceding the planning commission meeting. Should the 17th fall on a weekend or holiday, the next following workday shall be the filing deadline. (b) Notice. Upon determining that an application is proper and complete, the city planner shall insure that the matter is set for public hearing before the planning commission. The city planner shall be responsible for insuring that, pursuant to law, at least fifteen (15) days notice of the time, place, and subject of such hearing is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. The applicant shall present evidence to the city planner, at least ten (10) days prior to the required public hearing, that all property owners within two hundred feet (200') of the boundaries of the subject property have been notified of the proposed use, and of the time, date, and place of the hearing. Such evidence shall consist of postmarked, certified receipts and/or return receipts and/or dated, signed acknowledgments of receipt of notification; and shall be accompanied by a plat map showing the location of those properties, the owners of which the applicant certifies have been so notified. (c) Planning Commission Review and Action. The planning commission shall review conditional use permit applications at it regularly scheduled monthly meeting, at which time interested persons may appear at the required public hearing and offer information in support of or against the proposed conditional use. Following the public hearing, the commission may approve the application as presented, approve it with conditions, table it with cause for not to exceed one (1) month, deny the application, or refer it to the city council for final disposition. Approval shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the authorized membership of the commission. In approving such conditional uses, the planning commission shall impose such conditions and restrictions upon the premises as it deems necessary to reduce or minimize the adverse effects of the use. Compatibility with surrounding property shall be insured to the maximum extent practicable. In no case shall the planning commission or city council authorize reduction from minimum requirements of this Ordinance relating to height, area, setbacks, parking, or landscaping. In addition, no conditional use authorized by the planning commission or city council shall be subsequently considered in connection with a variance request to the Board of Zoning Adjustment. If the planning commission disapproves or denies a conditional use application, the reasons for such action shall be given to the applicant with fifteen (15) days from the date of the decision. The applicant may appeal such commission action, or any condition(s) placed upon application approval, to the city council within thirty (30) days of the commission s action. The appeal shall be in writing to the City Clerk, and shall specifically state why the planning commission s findings and decision was arbitrary, capricious, and inappropriate. If denied, no application for such use or similar use shall be permitted involving any part of the same property for a period of six (6) months. Sect Effect of Approval. No building permit shall be issued for any building or structure not in conformance with the site plan and all other conditions imposed in granting a conditional use permit. The construction, location, use, or operation of all land and structures with the site shall be in accordance with all conditions and limitations set forth in the approval. No structure, use or other element of any approved site plan shall be eliminated, significantly altered, or provided in another manner unless an amendment to the conditional use is approved. The procedure for amending a conditional use permit shall be the same as required for the original approval. Substantial work or construction under a conditional use permit must be commenced within one (1) year, or Planning & Zoning Department * 300 S.

34 the permit shall terminate. Conditional use permits shall be valid for an unlimited period unless a lesser period shall be provided in a particular permit. Upon the expiration of the time limit specified in the particular permit, the property owner may request that the permit be reviewed by the planning commission, which may extend it for an unlimited period or for an additional period of years. Once any portion of the conditional use permit authorization is utilized, all such conditions pertaining to such authorization shall become immediately operative. All conditions relating to or limiting the use, status, or operation of the development, after issuance of an occupancy permit, shall be complied with by the applicant or his successors or assigns. Failure to do so shall constitute a violation of this Ordinance, and cause for revocation of the conditional use authorization. Provided sufficient site information is submitted with the approved development plan, the planning commission may waive otherwise mandated site plan review requirements. *************************************************************************************** Conditional Use Permit Checklist Conditional use permit applications shall provide the following information and format: l.
