Patchen Wilkes Unit 1, Phase 2

Case No. PLN-MJSUB-25-00003 2:05

The Commission took up a discussion item regarding Patchen Wilkes Unit 1, Phase 2, a major subdivision proposal. Rory Keeley was among the key speakers presenting on the item.

The discussion centered on a revised street layout for the subdivision, along with an increased number of proposed lots. The updated plan calls for 115 lots, plus one additional lot designated for the Homeowners Association (HOA).

The technical advisory committee had previously reviewed the proposal and recommended approval subject to conditions. The Commission's discussion reflected that prior committee recommendation.

Following the presentation and discussion, the Commission voted to approve the request, consistent with the committee's recommendation and the conditions attached to it.

Locust Hill Shopping Center

Agenda Item: PLN-MJDP-25-00012 | 6:47

The Commission took up a discussion item regarding the Locust Hill Shopping Center, specifically concerning a revised building and parking layout along with the proposed addition of a double car drive-through.

Key speaker Tony Barrett presented or addressed the item before the Commission. The discussion centered on the proposed revisions to the site plan, including how the updated building and parking configurations would function alongside the new drive-through element.

Despite the item ultimately receiving approval, the process was not without complication — the committee had previously recommended postponement due to unresolved compliance questions. The nature of those compliance concerns is not fully detailed in the available record, but they were significant enough to prompt the committee-level recommendation to delay action prior to the Commission's consideration.

The Commission ultimately voted to approve the item, moving the Locust Hill Shopping Center proposal forward notwithstanding the earlier postponement recommendation.

Enterprise Industrial West Unit 1

Agenda Item: PLN-MJDP-25-00025 13:05

Tony Barrett was the key speaker during this item. The discussion centered on the proposed multi-family development and the accompanying rezoning request necessary to move the project forward.

A primary concern raised during the discussion involved stormwater management, which emerged as a significant obstacle to the project's advancement. Due to these unresolved stormwater concerns, the committee recommended postponement of the item rather than moving it toward approval.

The item was ultimately postponed, consistent with the committee's recommendation, pending resolution of the stormwater management issues associated with the development.

Patchen Wilkes Unit 2

Case No. PLN-MJDP-25-00027 1:38:35

Key speaker Brandon Gross addressed the Commission on this item. The discussion centered on outstanding questions regarding the intended uses of the development, as well as concerns that the application contained incomplete information necessary for a thorough review.

Due to these unresolved questions and the incomplete nature of the submitted materials, the item had previously been flagged by committee, which recommended postponement rather than moving forward with a decision. The Commission followed that recommendation, and the item was postponed.

No final action was taken on the merits of the proposed development at this meeting.
