Planning Commission Meeting 5-14-26

The City of Hot Springs Planning Commission held a meeting on May 14, 2026, where they approved the installation of wall signs at the Hot Springs School District with specific conditions regarding placement and lighting. The commission also recognized the service of departing members Janice Davis and Rick Rameck. A significant agenda item was the approval of a plan development application by Moore and Williams LLC to add three single-family dwellings at 333 Leonard Street in the RN2 zone. This project, described as a "pocket neighborhood," aims to provide attainable housing with energy-efficient features and community spaces, aligning with the city's housing strategy. The commission recommended approval with conditions related to development plan adherence, engineering requirements, and utility plans. The Board of Directors will make the final decision on this development. Additionally, the commission celebrated the completion of updates to the city's sign code, which reinstated certain size and height limits for pole signs. No new procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
