SP-289 is a request for a Specific Use Permit for an events center to be placed in an agricultural zoning district. The unplatted property is located one-quarter mile north of New Orleans Street, east of 1st Place.

The conceptual site plan includes two driveways along 1st Place and 182 parking spaces. The required platting will require dedication of right-of-way necessitating a modified site plan.
