City of Conway Council Meeting | July 20, 2026
Published: Jul 20, 2026
Resident Urges Deferral of Rezoning Due to Unresolved Infrastructure Issues
Collins, a resident of 313 Country Club Drive, urged the council to defer the second reading of the rezoning for the Riverwood at Sherwood Forest subdivision, citing ongoing infrastructure issues related to the development. They stated that four public streets have been disrupted for over two years due to infrastructure requirements mandated by the city's unified development ordinance for turn lanes. Collins detailed problems with incorrect grading, grass seed planted to hide issues, improperly draining catch basins, silt pollution, damaged driveways, and inadequate drainage, requesting a new ordinance for timely remediation with penalties.
Downtown Resident Proposes Solutions for Parking Ordinance Hardships
Elizabeth Godwin addressed the council regarding the current parking ordinance, stating it creates an unintended hardship for downtown residents. She highlighted the lack of designated parking, limited unrestricted public spaces, and the recent closure of a public gravel lot. Godwin proposed implementing a residential parking permit system, similar to Myrtle Beach, and suggested clearer signage, potentially with QR codes, to better communicate parking rules and penalties. She requested the council direct staff to study residential parking permits and review current signage.
First Reading Approves Annexation of Highway 501 and Garner Lacy Road Properties for Redevelopment
The council approved the first reading of an ordinance to annex approximately 1.75 acres at the intersection of Highway 501 and Garner Lacy Road, including properties at 101 and 103 Garner Lacy Road. The parcels are contiguous to city limits, require city services, and are intended for integration into a larger redevelopment project. The requested zoning is highway commercial, which will be considered by the planning commission. Staff recommended approval.
First Reading Approves Annexation of 2899 East Highway 501 for Redevelopment
The council approved the first reading of an ordinance to annex approximately 10 acres at 2899 East Highway 501. This property is part of a larger redevelopment project involving surrounding properties, though not contiguous to others being considered separately. The requested zoning is highway commercial, which the planning commission will review. Staff recommended approval.
First Reading of Annexation for 124 Quail Run Approved
The council approved the first reading of an ordinance to annex approximately 0.131 acres at 124 Quail Run, located within the Quail Creek Village subdivision. Annexation is requested to facilitate a date change on the city utility service account, with the property being surrounded by similar residential zoning and contiguous to city limits. The requested zoning upon annexation is R1 (low to medium density residential), consistent with the future land use map and adjacent city-zoned parcels. Planning commission will hold a public hearing on the zoning.
