Arrowhead Centre Master Plan

OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — The $385 million Arrowhead Centre redevelopment plan took another step forward on Thursday, when the Osage Beach Board of Aldermen gave initial approval of the 226-acre development’s Planned Use Development (PUD) plan, which establishes zoning changes for the project.

The city will break ground on the development at a ceremony at 11 a.m. today (Friday) at the former site of Dogwood Hills Golf Resort on Route KK.

City Planner Cary Patterson said the Arrowhead Centre PUD calls for residential, commercial and mixed use zoning to accommodate 200-400 living units, which will include independent and assisted senior living, an apartment complex, a skilled nursing facility and restaurants, a hotel, retail and office space.

“This is the biggest landmass development ever in the city of Osage Beach,” Patterson said. “With 200-400 dwelling units as part of the development, it builds in a customer base for the developer and everyone else in Osage Beach.”

Gary Mitchell, president of Arrowhead Development Group, said the construction on the first part of the project – the nursing home and assisted living facility – will begin in 2016.

“We’re getting ready to move some dirt here soon,” Mitchell added.

The Board of Aldermen in July approved tax increment financing for the project. The next major decision before the city likely will be a transportation study.

Olivarri asked Mitchell when he plans to conduct a traffic study. Mitchell said the company already has contracted to do the study, which will be done as the project develops.

Patterson said the study will need to be done 45 days before the final plat is submitted by the developer.

“The traffic study will certainly be the next large-scale decision to come in for review,” he said.

In other business, the board:

  • Gave final approval to an ordinance to establish a primary seatbelt law in Osage Beach, which means police can stop vehicles and issue seatbelt citations without an accompanying violation.
