Jasper Planning Commission | June 23, 2026

The Jasper Planning Commission meeting held on June 23, 2026, primarily focused on two key agenda items related to property zoning and signage variances. The commission discussed a rezoning request by Whitehead Investment Properties LLC to change a 67-acre parcel from neighborhood commercial (C1) to general commercial (C2) to accommodate existing and future commercial uses, including a cabinetry business and a commercial industrial controls company. The staff recommended approval of this rezoning, which aligns with the surrounding area's commercial zoning and uses. The second item involved a variance request by Champagne Toasters LLC for additional signage beyond the limits set by the city sign ordinance for a new convenience store. The commission debated the appropriateness of allowing more than two wall signs and a "flyby" sign, considering consistency with existing code and precedent. Ultimately, the commission voted against recommending approval of the signage variance to the city council, citing failure to meet hardship criteria and concerns about sign area limits. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were taken, but the discussions impact future commercial development and signage regulations in Jasper.
