The Benton Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary approval for the 163‑lot Dobbs Creek subdivision on conditions including phased grading, engineering sign‑offs and consideration of neighbors' requested privacy fencing.

The commission approved minutes, multiple site plans and rezoning requests (including 1218 River Street to heavy industrial and a final plat for Winchester Way), adopted code definition updates and recommended R1 for the Dobs Creek annexation; several sign and variance items failed for lack of motion or representation.

After extended public comment on traffic, creek impacts and neighborhood character, the Benton Planning & Zoning Commission voted 6–0 to recommend R1 (larger‑lot) zoning instead of the previously proposed R2 for the annexed Dobs Creek parcel; the recommendation goes to City Council for final action.
