Council to vote on denying P25-205 mixed-use plan at Pearl and Glenwood

Jackson’s Town Council is teeing up an unusually blunt land-use move on June 1, a straight up-or-down vote to deny Development Plan P25-205 for a 46,096-square-foot mixed-use building proposed at 145 W. Pearl Ave. and 65 S. Glenwood St. The motion in the packet is to deny the plan “based on an inability to make the required Development Plan findings” under the Land Development Regulations (LDR Section 8.3.3.C), which is the formal way of saying the Council cannot legally check the boxes it has to check to approve it, according to the Town Council Regular Meeting Agenda Packet.

This proposal has already had one procedural pause. Staff told Council in March that the applicant was using the one-time continuance allowed under the LDRs to push the item to a later meeting (first to May 18), and it is now landing on the June 1 agenda. If Council denies the development plan, the applicant’s next step is typically either an appeal (if available under the code) or a redesigned proposal that can meet the required findings, rather than a simple “try again next week” re-vote, per the same packet.
