PLANNING HEARING
Item No. 1 - Deltic Farm and Timber Rezoning
NAME: City of Little Rock
Deltic Farm and Timber
LOCATION: Upper Rock Creek Valley
(north of Kanis /Denny Road)
REQUEST: To rezone the property to
various districts through
the Extraterritorial Zoning
Jurisdiction.
STAFF REPORT:
Deltic Farm and Timber has discussed filing a petition to
annex 3,000 acres west of the corporate limits. This land
area encompasses part of their ownership as well as other
landowners.
The staff has been discussing the annexation and has some
concerns about service delivery to this area and other
potential annexation areas west of the Deltic ownership.
During the annexation discussion period, the River Zoning
Law was amended which allowed the rezoning of the Deltic
property. This rezoning of the property would permit the
development of the land without annexation at this time.
The procedures of enacting the River Zoning Authority are
still being worked out at this writing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff will present their recommendation at the hearing.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Jim Lawson presented recent changes in the Deltic request
for zoning. Revisions presented to the Planning staff on
March 9 changed an "0 -1" request to "R -2" and reduced the
number of commercial acres in the northern portion of the
area. A motion to zone the area in conformance with a
request dated March 9 was made and seconded. The vote was
10 ayes, 0 noes.

PLANNING HEARING
Item No. 2 - Amendment to the I -430 Land Use Plan - Autumn
Road Area
NAME: City of Little Rock
LOCATION:
Autumn Road at the Rock Creek
Parkway
REQUEST: Amend I -430 District Land Use
Plan along the Rock Creek
Parkway west of Shackleford
Road and east of Bowman Road.
STAFF REPORT:
An amendment to the I -430 Plan was discussed recently in
conjunction with a rezoning request in the Autumn Road area
north of the Rock Creek Parkway. The office rezoning
request generated a discussion of whether there would be an
Autumn Road intersection with the Rock Creek Parkway. The
determination was made that there would be an intersection,
and an amendment to the Master Street Plan was approved to
create the intersection.
The adopted I -430 Plan (see attached drawing) showed the
area north of the Rock Creek Parkway as single family. The
single family designation was based primarily on the Master
Street Plan which classified Autumn Road as a residential
street with a cul -de -sac before it reached the parkway. Now
that Autumn Road has been designated as a collector which
intersects with the Parkway, more intense uses are
plausible.
In the December 11, 1986, meeting
Birchwood residents, various land
discussed. The residents seemed

designation south of the parkway.

Option 2 (see drawing) calls for multifamily north of the
parkway and office south of the parkway. The residents did
not want multifamily adjacent to their area. They felt
office would make a better neighbor.

The 65th Street East District Plan is a land use plan for an
area east of University Avenue, west of Arch Street Pike,
