# Pulaski County Administrative Site-Plan Review Procedure
The county's written site-plan-review instrument produced in response to request item 4: the **Pulaski County Site Plan Review Application / Checklist** (`pulaski_county_site_plan_application_4-1-24.pdf`) keyed to the Pulaski County Subdivision and Development Code, plus a **sample status letter** (`Site Plan Status letter sample.pdf`).
## What's inside
- The site-plan checklist enumerating §6.3 A–Y and §6.4–6.10 requirements (letter of application, survey seals, legal description, drainage/SWPPP, setbacks, watershed/NPDES items, etc.).
- A completed instance of the checklist for the Coushatta filing is preserved as `145th Street Data Center Site Plan.docx` (dated 2/2/24, engineer Andrew Rike, Harbor Environmental).
- The "status letter sample" is, by example, a **Batesville Pike RV Park** site-plan-review notice (2024-08-29) — included only to show the county's status-letter *format*, not as a data-center record.
## Key takeaways
- **Site-plan review in unincorporated Pulaski County is a staff-level administrative process.** The checklist is completed and signed by the Plan Review Coordinator; the standard review notice carries the field **"PLANNING BOARD APPROVAL MEETING DATE: N/A."** There is no zoning approval, public hearing, or quorum-court step in the ordinary path — consistent across the Coushatta notice, the AVAIO notice, and the RV-park sample.
- **Approval is "subject to meeting staff requirements."** The recommendation line on the completed checklist reads "Approval subject to meeting staff requirements," with technical staff/county-engineer comments (boring detail for the sewer line under 145th Street, driveway-culvert sizing, etc.) handled administratively.
- **This is the mechanism the data-center controversy targets.** It is the same administrative path that let a hyperscale campus advance with no public review (see [[AVAIO Project Leo Large Site-Plan Package]], staff "sees no need for a public review"), and it is what the [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Refers Five Data-Center Measures to Planning Board|five referred measures]] and the [[2026-05 County Judge Executive Order Pauses Data-Center Planning Applications|intake pause]] aim to change.
## Concepts invoked
- [[Site plan review]] — this document is the underlying procedure.
- [[Pulaski County Zoning and Land-Use Authority]] — why administrative review is the only gate.
