Summary
A developer wants to build a 55-and-older senior living community on 12.3 acres now zoned single-family. Part of the site sits in a floodplain, which limits density, and the applicant noted a similar RM-12 rezoning nearby cleared the council unanimously last year despite nothing being built yet. Aging residents in Jonesboro could gain more senior housing options if it moves forward.
