Planning Commission recommends denial of asphalt plant extension; subdivisions approved
The Alexandria Planning Commission voted unanimously on June 22 to recommend denial of a five-year extension for an asphalt plant and to recommend approval of a commercial-to-residential conversion, among several land-use decisions now heading to the City Council for final action.
Planning Commission — June 22 (Decided)
The commission took the following votes, all 6-0:
- **Recommended denial** of a five-year extension for an asphalt plant under Special Use Permit #2026-00018.
- **Recommended approval** of a commercial-to-residential conversion under Special Use Permit #2026-00019.
- **Approved** a subdivision at 114 E. Raymond Ave.
- **Approved** a subdivision at 311 Clifford Ave.
- **Deferred** a street vacation request at Ramsey St & E. Alexandria Ave at the applicant's request.
- **Approved** minutes of the June 2, 2026 meeting.
These are recommendations; the City Council holds final authority on special use permits and subdivisions.
