     The City of Holiday Island chose to engage in Planning and Zoning, granted by Arkansas statutes, having the authority to plan and enforce development regulations within the Holiday Island planning area.  One of the first things the City Planning Commission has done was to establish a Planning Area map that includes all property within the municipal boundaries.  The Planning Area is the region for which the Planning Commission will prepare plans, ordinances, and regulations, that will need approval by the City Council. 

.

     Following the adoption of the Planning Area map, the Land Use Plan and the Road & Street Map

were adopted.  The map illustrates the current roads and streets within Holiday Island and various features.  

.

     The next step in planning was to establish land use Zoning Regulations that the City will use to determine how

new construction, development and uses, both residential and commercial, fits within Holiday Island.

.

     The Planning Commission conducts Public Hearings and Regular Meetings for considering changes to the

Planning and Zoning Regulations, Conditional Use Permit Applications, Rezoning Applications, Incidental Subdivision Applications

and other developments of land.
