Planning Commission reviews 22-acre rezoning, Parks Board receives master plan update
Local government boards considered a slate of land-use, housing and recreation matters over the past two weeks, though no final votes were published for any of the meetings. The agendas included a request to rezone 22 acres for institutional use, a parks master plan update and a housing voucher program review.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission met July 1 with a packed agenda centered on growth and infrastructure. A public hearing was held on a request to rezone 22 acres at the southeast corner of South Dunbridge Road and Expressway Drive (parcels B07-511-210003005000 and others) from Interstate Commerce to Institutional. The commission also took up proposed updates to the city’s access management policies in Chapter 156. Three subdivision plats on the 800 block of South Mitchell Road, submitted by Progress Point Properties, were reviewed along with requests for waivers. Additionally, the panel considered an annexation and interim zoning for 0.84 acres at 1200 Sand Ridge Road, and construction plans for two fire stations at 1215 W. Newton Road and 447 Campbell Hill Road. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so no decisions have been confirmed.
Parks & Recreation Board
On June 23, the Parks & Recreation Board received a series of department reports. Discussions focused on the current status of the city’s Master Plan, along with reports from the Bowling Green Parks & Recreation Foundation Board, the natural resources manager, the aquatics & fitness manager, and the recreational coordinator. No votes were scheduled, and minutes remain unpublished.
Bowling Green Housing Agency
The Housing Agency met June 24 to review procedural items, including a report on tenants leaving the voucher program and a status report on the program itself. The agenda also covered approval of minutes, bills and communications, along with officer roll call. As with the other recent meetings, minutes are not yet available.
Coming up
The Board of Zoning Appeals will meet July 8 to consider three variance requests. Applicants are seeking an exception to allow an 18-foot-8-inch commercial building height at 1187 South Main Street, a 72-square-foot monument sign at 1058-1072 North Main Street, and a driveway measuring 9 by 3.3 feet at 1723 Wexford Drive.
