West - Industrial, zoned I-2
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone 3.2 acres on
Sibley Hole Road from R-2 to I-2, and the proposed use is
heavy equipment sales and service. The site is situated on
the south side of I-30 and has street frontage on three
sides, the north, south and west. Sibley Hole Road borders
the land on the west and south sides. The property was
wooded at one time, however, it has been cleared and some
site work has taken place in anticipation of the acreage
being developed for the industrial user.
Zoning of the general vicinity includes R-2, C-4 and I-2.
The property in question is surrounded by R-2 and I-2 land.
Land use found in the area includes single family, a church,
commercial, a funeral home and industrial. A major user
that is located directly across Sibley Hole Road is Central
Arkansas Tractor Sales and Service, an industrial operation
that is similar to what is being proposed for the property
under consideration. Vacant tracts of land are found on
both sides on I-30. (The site identified by Z-4822 is the
property that was reviewed and denied by the Planning
Commission and the Hoard of Directors for the "Fishing
Hole".)

ITEM N 2 Z-5657 (Cont.)
The adopted plan, Geyer Springs West, shows the area west of
the creek for light industrial uses. Therefore, the
proposed I-2 reclassification conforms to the City's land
use plan and staff supports the request. The creek is
identified on the plan as part of a "open space corridor",
which should provide a buffer area between this property and
the R-2 lands to the east. Because of the property's
location and the existing land use, the I-2 rezoning should
not have an impact on the area.
ENGINEERING COMMENT
Sibley Hole Road is classified as a collector and the Master
Street Plan standard is 30 feet from the centerline.
Dedication of additional right-of-way will be required
because the existing right-of-way is deficient.
