The Maumelle Planning Commission will meet at 6:30 p.m. this evening at City Hall in a regularly scheduled meeting.
The complete agenda can be viewed by clicking here.
The most notable item of business is the city’s proposed Gateway Park that would be built at the site of the old fire station and court complex at the intersection of Maumelle Boulevard and Millwood Circle
Gateway Park was also discussed at the last City Council meeting and now goes to the Planning Commission before going back to the Council for final approval.
The address for Gateway Park will be 101 Millwood Circle and three things will be discussed at tonight’s meeting.
1) Proposed Amendment to Master Land Use Plan
2) Proposed Amendment to Master Zoning Map
3) Proposed Conditional Use Permit
As laid out in the Planning Commission packet, the old municipal building would be demolished to allow for the park that would feature an area for food trucks as well as green space, a community stage and it would also connect to the proposed greenway bicycle trail. The area covers 2.81 acres of land that also runs parallel to the city’s busy street, Maumelle Boulevard.
Existing trees would remain as a buffer, as well as a trail that would run parallel to the Boulevard.
The request by the city was described as “reasonable” as the park would also become the front porch into the Town Center Commercial District as well as the greenway.
Planning staff had a “Do-Pass recommendation” for the project and noted that the park was in conformance with the city’s Maumelle Forward plan.
The report from planning also noted that the Pulaski County Brownfields program, that helps cities dispose of hazardous materials, would help “remediate asbestos and other contaminates found on site.”
