ANALYSIS:
The City of Little Rock has annexed areas along Pride Valley Road west of Kanis
Road at the request of property owners. This has resulted in an approximately
740 foot `gap' along Pride Valley where County rather than city maintenance and
public safety services are provided. The area requesting annexation would
reduce this `gap' by half. Only two homes along the north side of Pride Valley
from just west of Zanzibar east to Kanis Road (over nine tenths of a mile) would
be outside of the City if this annexation request is approved.
The area requesting annexation has a home on it currently is partly wooded and
includes a portion of the floodway /floodplain of Rock Creek. The applicant has
proposed a 34 lot single - family development using the Planned Development —
Residential process. The Planned Development includes a large tract along the
north for the Flood plain /floodway of Rock Creek.
To the west is an office complex within the current city limits with a large about of
office zoned land still wooded and undeveloped. To the east are two single -
family homes which will continue to be outside the corporate limits of Little Rock.
Beyond that is a partially developed `professional office' development within the
City limits of Little Rock, all along the north side of Kanis Road. South of the

ITEM NO. 8: (Cont.) FILE NO. A -330
requesting area is a large tract owned by one family who wish the property to be
left in its current condition. To the east of this property is a single - family
subdivision and elementary school within the limits of Little Rock. To the west,
south of Pride Valley Road are three - tracts with single - family homes on them
outside the limits of Little Rock.
The areas south of Pride Valley Road are zoned residential, R -2 Single Family as
is the site annexing. There is a Planned Development — Residential to the
southeast with single - family homes. To the west is 0-2, Professional Office with
an office building and to the east are Planned Commercial Developments with a
mini - warehouse development, and office uses (partially developed).
Rock Creek flows just north of the annexation area and touches the northeast
corner. The floodplain /floodway of Rock Creek is within the annexation area,
covering the northern portion of the area requesting annexation. This portion is
proposed for open space in the approved Planned Development for the site.
The site is in three ownerships (within the same family) currently, but is proposed
as a single subdivision. Thirty -four (34) homes are proposed along a cul -de -sac
from Pride Valley Road. This new subdivision will change the existing
topography and tree cover on this site. There is an existing wastewater line
along Rock Creek to the north and water line along Pride Valley Road to the
south. As part of the development of the subdivision the developer will have to
extend these services to the new development.
The Pulaski County Judge in his Annexation Order has included all public streets
and right -of -way abutting the annexation area. The City's annexation ordinance
will be in conformance with the Pulaski County Judge's Order and include
adjacent street rights -of -way into the City of Little Rock. This would add
approximately 335 feet of Pride Valley Road to the City.
The closest fire station (Station 20) is located at 300 Oak Meadow Drive. From
this station via existing streets is just approximately 1.7 miles to the annexation
area. Station 19, 17000 Chenal Valley Drive, is the next closest station with runs
of approximately 2.4 miles to the annexation area. Areas both to the east and
west already must be serviced from these two stations. With land both east and
west of the annexation area within the city limits; current police patrols would
already naturally pass this property. The Little Rock Police have reported they
have no concerns or issues with that request.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval of the annexation as requested.
