Planning Commission
Commission to discuss proposed zoning amendments including taller highway signs
The Kechi Planning Commission will discuss proposed amendments to the Kechi Zoning Regulations, including creating an Administrative Adjustments process, increasing maximum highway sign height from 30 to 35 feet, and adding a Planned Development Overlay District. Unfinished business includes review of the Kechi 2040 Comprehensive Plan and two Kechi Corner LLC cases (a rezone and a variance) that remain on hold. No new public hearings or decisions are scheduled; this meeting is largely for discussion.
- Proposed Administrative Adjustments would allow the Zoning Administrator to approve minor zoning modifications (e.g., up to 20% reduction in setbacks) without Planning Commission action.
- Proposed amendment to increase maximum highway frontage sign height from 30 to 35 feet in C-3 and I-1 districts, with potential further increase via Administrative Adjustments.
- Proposed creation of a Planned Development Overlay District (PDO) to allow flexible land-use and design standards for mixed-use or atypical properties.
- Z-2025-07 – Kechi Corner LLC rezone from C-1 to C-2 remains on hold per applicant request.
- BZA-V-2025-03 – Kechi Corner LLC variance for setback and parking reductions recessed since October 2025.
