Lawrence. There are times, perhaps, when these harsh words penned early in the Law- rence career would seem to apply in such an unlikely place as Little Rock, Arkansas; U. S. A. Little Rock is not as pretty as it was only a decade or two ago, taken in its entirety, and if the city hasn't yet had its "tragedy of ugliness" of 49th century England, it will, it will. Unless, that is, somebody or same agency, starting with the city Board of Directors.- begins a vigorous and" sus- tained effort to preserve and encourage esthetic qualities of an appealing urian life. What has really brought this whole subject to mind is a rezoning application for a small piece of property on tree - lined Broadway. Details' of the contro- versy that has arisen over the commer- cial zoning request have been docu- mented in these columns as well as the news columns on several occasions this summer. Some points raised in the issue, however, may bear repeating, for what has happened to the Broadway area in recent years and what can hap- pen in the°next few years in many re- spects cgliid be considered a microcosm of the whale city. Urban uglification, the very, WQrst,kind that gets built. e,the grain f �� city, is insidious, The Broadway case, perhaps, can bring the 'reality home4iot only for thecitMboard# ,.but also for all other elements`ef"m� munity leadership. > 1 1 1 BROADWAY has been a zoning battle- ground- for a decade, starting with a re- zoning application for property ig9*g 2100 block that was occupied by a large two-story frame house. The case went all the way to the state Supreme Court and in the end the property was rezoned from residential to commercial. Other cases have followed, with the key case coming on -a piece of property in the 1700 block about eight years ago. With the state Supreme Court approving than piece of commercial zoning, the gates were then pretty well thrown open by a Planning Commission and city adminis- tration no longer willing to resist. The situation often seemed apropos to the words of Richard Babcock, writing in The Zoning Game, Once the jargon is stripped away, says Babcock "zoning administration is exposed as 'aprocess Under which isolated social and political units engage in highly emotional afteTea- tions over the use of land, most of.which are settled by crude tribal adaptations of medieval trial by fire, and a few of which are concluded by confused ad hoc injunctions of bewildered courts." One effect of the series of spot zonings in the Broadway area has been to make A ambles of an extensive plarmning study drawn in the early '608 by Little Rock planners covering 93 square blocks immediately south of the central business district. Zoning was perhaps the foremost consideration in the effect the study had, but there are important differences between planning and zon- ing. Planliifng can anticipate needs—not only economic needs (often the only basis for rezoning requests) but also so- cial, political and, perhaps most impor- tant, esthetic needs of the entire neigh- borhood or community affected. Louis Wirth, the late eminent sociologist, phrased it about as well as anyone: planning does not necessarily mean regimentation. It does not mean dictk torship.

Demolition is scheduled to start as 7:30 a.m. today. The city also issued Wednes- day a building permit to: allow construe .of a 7-Ele*'n Store And ano r retail outlet on the. p r.o p e ,g t y. Don Kirkpatrick owner of the property, said con- struction would begin as soon as the property was cleared The property was rezoned July` If from D apa -F co;nmercial over the objection.. of grounding property owners, W§9 later formed a Broadway, ?�ALMborhood kssociation, w ch has as one of its purposes th preservation of the area -for re 'dential use. George Bartsch, chairman of the Save Broadway Committee of the Association, said several of the residents would be at the site; when demolition started. He sail there were no definite pians fo etion. Area property owners, one of whom is Bartsch, filed suit Man - day in Pulaski Chancery Court seeking to have the city enjoined from issuing a building permit. A hearing on whether to issue the injunction is set for Septem- ber 6. Don R. Venhaus. director sof the city's Community Develop. meat Department, said the dem- olition and building permits were issued because the re- quests were legitimate. The Property is properly zoned for commercial use, he said and the city received no communicatn from any court telling it not to issue the permits. The permits were processed jug as other permits ars,. Ven - haus said. The building permit' showed that application was made August 16. The building permit said the structure would be 49 feet wide and loo feet long. Kirkpatrick said in an interview Wednesday that half the building would be leased as a 7-Elei>en Store and the other half will be leased to another retail sales outlet. The new construction will have a better appearance than the old house that is there now, Kirkpatrick .said. He said there would be all new sidewalks and new curbs. He said the property would be graded down almost to street level and that trees would be left wherever possible. Some trees will have to be removed For driveways, he said. The building will have a plate glass front, and will have old- fashioned bricks, he said. The building ,permit put the cost of construction at $60,000. Burks' Wrecking Corporation is listed as the demolition con- tractor. Kirkpatrick bought the prop- erty from the Henderson estate. E. DeMatt Henderson, executor of .the estate, represented it be- fore the Planning Commission and Board of Directors in seek- ing the rezoning. The city planning staff reluc- tantly recommended the rezon- ing of the property when. it came before the Planning Commis- sion, saying that was the only recommendation it could make in fig -ht of recent rezonings by the courts on Broadway to F commercial. The staff suggested that a band use study be made of the entire area. The Board, some time after it rezoned the Property, requested that the staff ask the Planning Commission again for a land use study, and the Commission di- rected the staff to develop such a'study. It sbogld be completed in less than two months. Residents have said that if a coMtnercial zoning was p3+crper ford3road:way in 1964, wit'Oe first tract on Broadway . z6ft,d to F commercial by the state Supreme Court, conditions have changed. The Association has hired a lawyer and said it would chal- leage in court the validity of the ordinance rezoning the property at 1803 Broadway.

Bartsch of 401 West 18th Street, chairman of the Save Broadway Com- m i t t e e of the Broadway Neighborhood Association, who with his wife and two other women filed a petition in Pulaski Chancery Court to stop commercial building on the site, was expected to dis- cuss the settlement at a press conference this afternoon, Wright said. Bartsch could not be reached for comment this morning. A hearing on a temporary injunction to bar commercial Buildings at, site until the comnoer . could be affirm enied by the state Mme Court Was scheduled before Chancellor John T. Jernigan at 9 a.m. to- day, but it was cancelled min- utes earlier. The city Board of Directors rezoned the property from D - Apartment to F -Commercial at the request of E. DeMatt Henderson, a lawyer, on July 18. The association sub- sequently was formed to fight the rezoning and other com- mercial zoning on Broadway. Henderson sold the land to Donald Kirkpatrick after the city rezoned it and the chan- cery petition named Kirk- patrick and the city as the de- fendants. Steele Hays, the lawyer who represented Kirkpatrick, said the building would go ahead on schedule. A house at the site was razed last week. The Broadway Neighbor- hood Association had been so- liciting donations to pay legal fees in the matter. The city Planning Commis- sion has undertaken a study of the neighborhood to see what zoning is most suited to it. Broadway Groff 0 Settles.

Comm n Kittle Rock's Planning has responded affirmatively to the suggestion of the city directors that the planning staff be directed to make a land use study of the Broadway area Oi the central city. It is an encouraging step toward economic and social stabili- zation of the area, but the pertinent deci- sion-making piss has only just begun. It has been nine years since the city planning staff, which operates at the iirection of the Planning Commission, has made an intense, comprehensive study of the land uses in the neighbor- hood. interesting changes have been taking place since then. It is an area in xansition, but what is done now will de- termine in critical measure whether, in p e r h a p s oversimplifi-ed terms, the Broadway area will become another ex - un le of urban disaster or urban renais- ce I Broadway itself is about in the middle of the study area, which is bounded by Roosevelt Road, Lxard, Fourteenth and Louisiana Streets- Despite the changes and some deterioration that have al- ready occurred in the neighborhood many stately old homes set among tow- ering trees remain. The Govermor's Man- iion is in the area. A significant new de- velapment on Broadway itself is a high- rise public housing project for the el- derly. At the south end is a good deal of commercialization. The north end won't be. far from the Wilbur Mills Freeway, downtown, and the campus of Philander Smith. College. At one time the area was devoted almost exclusively to single- family uses. commercialization is a fairly recent development even at the south edge. It was sanctioned and en- couraged by commercial rezoning deci- sions of the state 'Supreme Court in the mid -'60s. During that period, some of the area has given way to multiple -fam- ily uses, encouraged in part by the com- prehensive zoning plan adopted after the land use studies in 1963. ,Another trend has been developing in the last four or five years and in other respects it has been contrary t things that have been happening. Young couples seem to be discovering the charm of large old houses in the area; many have invested substantAutime and money in renovating the 'homes. Through all the changes of the years, the Broadway area has seamed to resist all -white or all -black racial patterns. Today, the racial composition of the neighborhood population is more black than ever before, but many of those per- sons attracted to the neighborhood have been white. In the early '60s, for a time, it appeared that the area would be caught up in the classic pattern of white flight; some of this happened, to be sure, but later on whites came back. In any ,event, the area is racially integrated., and people are getting along with a min- imum of racial hangups. This delicate balance of social and economic stabilization can be greatly aided by the actions and attitudes of the city government. A new and compre- hensive study of the area is basic. Changes that we have mentioned, and others dealing with traffic volumes, ac- tual uses and the like, demonstrate a need for new zoning patterns avoiding the strip or spot commercial zoning; that existing court rulings and recent City re- zondng decisions endorse. Neighborhood residents who ar'e op- posed to any more commercial zoning g the recent commercial rezon- se at 1803 Broadway into the caPerhaps the new evidence of developed over the last nine years will demonstrate to the courts the lack of need for any more commercial zoning. In the meantime, thoughtful study by the planning staff, leading to a new and comprehensive land use and zoning pat- tern of the neighborhood, can give the Planning Commission and city Board of Directors fresh perspective on how the area now fits into the total pattern of city development. It is cliche by now but nonetheless true that Little Rock gener- $11y stands at a point of development that older, larger American cities did a generation or more ago,. How the city leadership handles the Broadway issue now and in the coming months will be vital to the quality of life Little Rock will be offering the coming generation. 20A s ",RKN SAIS GAZETTE.

Thus the stage is set for another court test of a rezoning matter in the "Broadway area" of near downtown -and this time around—assum- ing the case is appealed—there may be Opportunity to raise new issues for even- tual decision of the state Supreme Court. From the strict legalistic point of view there may be some justification for the city board majority's decision The property is in an area where boards in the pact have tried to hold the line against commercial stripping, only to be overruled in appeals to the courts. On the basis of that record a certain justifi- cation would seem to emerge for the board's. decision in the immediate case. More substance, however, is involved in the 1803 Broadway rezoning case than legal- precedents that may he outdated. The "Broadway areas"—including the Governor's Mansion—may be at one of those tedious junctures that experience here and elsewhere has shown to be crit- ical to shaping how a city is to develop —66r in a sense, if it is to continue devel- oping at all. Some cities, or parts of them, enter into a sort of living death when unwise planning decisions are made. What has changed .about the "Broad- way area" in the 10 years or so since the Supreme Court's decision that led to the spate of commercial rezoning applica- tiohs in the '60s is that the whale prem- ise has shifted. In more recent years, many young couples have come to rec- ognize the potential for a rich residential life in renovating the stately old homes set among the large trees. By moving into 'the neighborhood a n d Investing MO omen there they have demon- strat at there are other viable —even desirable ---- uses of the neighbc)rhood than merely strip or spot Commercial uses. The "Broadway area" has begun to stabilize in the racial context and it can continue to move in that direction if there can be a more thoughtful applica- tion of municipal judgment. Other, related, factors also come into Play, giving a basis for opposing the 1503 Broadway rezoning and taking the issue into court once more. Perhaps that is what the group of "Broadway area" res- idents who opposed the rezoning will now decide to do. In the meantime, there is plenty that the city government can do, if the city board will show some leadership in that direction. What the city board needs to. do at this point is order a restudy of the. whole "Broadway area," taking into ac- count the changing condil'ions and atti- tudes, and formulate a plan of zoning and development that will enhance the al- ready blooming Effort to stabilize the neighborhood.

The Property in dispute is 803 Broadway street, which now has a residence on it. The owner, DeMatt Hender- son, has requested the city to rezone the Property from "D" Apartment to'IF" com- mercial so a small con- venience foodstore can be built. The residents, however, de- cided to unite and oppose the rezoning by attending the city Planning Commission meet- ing at 2 p.m. today on the see- ohd �or of City Hall. Ri d Nicholson, moder- ator the neighborhood meeti* was elected spokes- man far the residents. The meeting was orderly and many Persons gave their opinions about the rezoning. One resident, Mrs. George Bartsch, received applause when she said Broadway and surrounding streets used to be a beautiful residential area, but that rezonings to commercial use were ruining the beauty of the area.. "We don't need a junkie little store," Mrs. Bartsch said. she told the crowd that an "F" zoning would also at, low the owner to pat in gas pumps on the lot. 'If Broadway all starts go- ing commercial, we'll lose it (our residentoal area)," she said. monis Barber, chief of the city planning division, told the residents that an "F" zoP- ing %Nas first granted to a 11A on Broadway in 1963. Barber said there have been 22 other rezoning changes on Broad- way sine then, and that he could not remember any .or- ganized opposition—to any of them. Barber said he prefers to see Broadway rezoned had, to ail "D" zoning. {A zoning allows single resi dences, duplexes and any thing up to an apartment. If a lot is zoned IF", then the pos. sible uses for that Property expand. An 'IF" lot can have a residers o, duplex, apart- ment or commercial business on it). Barber brought charts to s t h e neighborhood meeting showing the traffic count on j Broadway. He said the "F" z ding was first granted to a Madway lot because studi in 1963 showed that 16,000 vehicles I traveled on Broadway daily i b e t w e e n 17th Street and 1 Roosevelt Road. The latest i study, he said, shows that 10,- 1 600 vehicles use Broadway 1 each day. ARKANSAs DmocRAT Little Rock, Ark. ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST YEAR An Independent pally and Sunday Newspaper 4 X A.

McCORD, Editorial Page Editor 1 Page 4A •' • • Friday, July 14, 1912 Save old Broadway ` The section of Little Rock along Broadway be- tween 15th and Roosevelt was once as fine as any part of the city. It retains enough stately old houses and majestic trees to be impressive despite the encroachment by commercial development. Now the city Planning Commission has en- courage# the further degradation of the neighbor- hood by recommending that the lot at 1803 Broad- way be rezoned from residential to commercial to F allow a convenience food store to be built on the site. If the city Board of Directors follows the rec- ommendation, the trees and house would be re- placed by concrete and neon. One argument for the rezoning is that most other applications for commercial rezoning along Broadway have been approved. That is, strip zon- ing — extending commercial into residential neighborhoods — once started, must be continued. If you make one mistake, then you must continue to make that mistake., in other words. Forever and e v e r, ' t i 1 death do us part, in other words. Another, argument is that the courts would rezone it commercial anyway. That has been true in the past. But people have become more concerned about the blighting effect of strip zoning, and that has an effect on the courts. In a similar case involving property beside MacArthur Park, a chancery court judge upheld the city board's refusal to allow additional commercial de- velopment. The neighborhood has changed since the Su- preme Court ruling that set the pattern for the previous rezonings on Broadway. Young couples y are buying the old houses and renovating them. The freeway has reduced traffic along Broadway by half, making it less desirable for business, and there will be even less traffic when the other free- ways are finished. Furthermore, only about half of the property already rezoned commercial has ac - ti ally been developed. commercially. In approving the rezoning, the Planning Com- mission went against its own staff's recommenda- tion. The staff recommended that the whole area be re-evaluated with a view to dezoning the un- developed commercial property :to residential. It paid, however, that there would- be no, choice but to rezone commercial if that was not done. Among the residents of the neighborhood who would be harmed by the commercial development is the governor: The mansion adjoins the piece of property in question. But the residents of that neighborhood are not the only ones who would lose if commercial development is allowed to continue. The whole city would be lessened by the degrad- ation of such a fine old neighborhood.

WCORD, Editorial Page Eatitor Page 4A • 11.0.0 Thursday, July 20, 1972 ' No regard for .roadway The Little Rock Board of Directors has con- firmed the city Planning Commission's pessimism. The commission decided that Broadway was doomed and recommended rezoning a -residential lot commercial. Despite strong and valid opposi- tion, the board voted 4-3 Tuesday to follow the commission's recommendation. The first cause of the pessimism was a decision by the city government a quarter-century ago to turn Broadway into a commercial strip. At that time it was a magnificent residential section. As a result of the decision to allow commercial devel- opment in their midst, the residents of the stately old houses began to look elsewhere, and future residential development in that area seemed im- practical. This started -the flight to the west that is turn- ing downtown into the low-income section. And that decision by the city fathers -,a quarter-century ago is the real cause for the Supreme Court deci- sion in 1963 that commercial development on Broadway could not be denied — a decision that has resulted in 21 of the last 23 requests for rezoning to commercial being approved. But 11 of the 21 have not been developed com- mercially. And in the period since the court decision a freeway was built, reducing the traffic count on Broadway from 19,000 to 9,600, with a further re- duction to come when other freeways are opened. So the trend toward'commercial is not gaining mo- mentum. In fact, the resistance to commercial devel- opment is the force that is gaining momentum. Young professional people are moving into the area along Broadway north of 14th. Petitions op- posing the rezoning (at 1803 Broadway) got 274 signatures. One was the governor's wife, the man- sion being in the neighborhood. A similar rezoning beside MacArthur Park was denied by the city and upheld in chancery court. But both the PYanning Commission and the city board ignored the strong protests, to go along with the belief that the neighborhood is doomed to We much prefer the optimism of the growing band opposing the rezoning. They believe the area can at least be preserved in its present pattern, with many fine old houses and big trees inter• mingled with the apartments and businesses. And, if the city planning staff's recommendation that the area be studied for dezoning were followed, it could very well move back toward its former ele- gance. But that kind of action takes vision where- as a majority on both the commission and the board have evidenced only reaction. (City direc- tors Sandy Keith, Bill Walters and Charles Bussey were the dissenters on the board.) So all that is left is, appealing the rezoning to see if the Supreme Court will now reverse its 1963 precedent. We recommend such an appeal. The dailies that aren't there We do not agree at all with the Fort Smith city official who said he would like to see the state's freedom of information law modified to permit private meetings of that city's governing body. However, we do have some sympathy with his statement that what his town needs is two news- papers so that diferent points of view can be expressed. With the shutting down of the Boston Herald Traveler a few months ago and the merger of the Daily News with the Evening Star in Washington, D.C. last week, New York is now the only city in the United States with more than two independent- ly -owned daily newspapers. The disappearing daily is not as noticeable in other countries that have fewer labor problems, less competition for the advertising dollar and more citizens who are inter- ested in world affairs., For instance, Mexico City still has a dozen daily papers, London has eight and Paris has at least six. Little Rock is the smallest city in the country that still has two independent dailies that are lo- cally, owned. We think this is important, and it's gratifying to hear from a government official -- even a disgruntled one - that he does, too. Black Elk speaks Benjamin Black Elk, a genuine Sioux, offered some campaign counsel to his fellow South Dako- tan and Democratic Presidential Nominee George McGovern the other day when the candidate was posing modestly for pictures in front of the faces of famous American Presidents carved into Mount Rushmore. "Be like a postage stamp," Black Elk told McGovern. "Stick to it till you get there." Only one problem with the advice. Postage stamps usually get licked.

TAYLOR 716 PYRAMID LIFE BUILDING LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 Mr. DeMatt Henderson Pyramid Life Building Little Rock, Arkansas Dear DeMatt: July 5 c INVESTMENTS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT I have just learned of the hearing about the rezoning of your property at 18th and Broadway and as I am out of town I am dictating this letter over the telephone to my secretary for her to sign and deliver to you. As an owner of residential property on Broadway for many years I have found that the residential nature of our property suf- fered because of the heavy influx of tourist and commercial travel on Broadway. Over the years this caused many of the resi- dents to move away from this area and buy homes in more appropri- ate residential districts. Unfortunately, the majority of the residences that have been left on Broadway have been allowed to deteriorate to the point that I feel it will be impractical to reconstitute this area as a desirable residential district. I feel that the volume of traffic on Broadway indicates the appro- priate use of the properties from now on will be commercial with possibly a few multi -family dwellings strategically locateda I believe the courts have seen the reasonableness of this position inasmuchas in practically every case I know of where the property owners have gone to court to have their properties rezoned commer- cial the courts have sided with the property owner and have allowed the commercial zoning. I am a firm believer in historical preservation and am a member of the Qaapaw Quarters Association and have participated in the preser- vation and restoration of old houses, and particularly those of historical value, in that area but I do not consider South Broadway to be in the same category. Best personal regards, Yours very t a(harles M. Taylor CMT/mb Tract No. 3 - Z-2595 - 1803 Broadw From: "D" -Apartment District To "F" -Commercial District The Staff's recommendation was read as follows: "The Staff recommends APproval of application in view of previous approval actions of the Commission involving properties located on Broadway. The Staff continues to believe that the Com- mercial zoning on Broadway between Roosevelt and 15th should be re-evaluated and dezoned. Should the Commission choose not to pursue dezoning, there is' no choice but to rezone the tract in question "F" as requested. In that connec- tion the applicant should be reminded of the provisions of the City Code of Ordinances pertaining to the cutting of trees in the public right-of-way." Mr. Richard Nicholson, 2123 Broadway, was present and stated that he represented a neighborhood group from Arch, Spring and Broadway area of 70 people who voted against rezoning this property to "F" Commercial. They desire to preserve one of the most historical areas in Little Rock as a pleasant place to live. He - stated that any further zoning would contribute to making this area like Roose- velt and Asher. There is a lot of interest in young people moving back into this area and making it a nice place to live. Mrs: George Bartsch, 401 West 18th Street, stated that she objected to commercial zoning as the neighborhood had a potential of young couples moving back into this area and preserving the homes and would divert flight to suburban areas. Mrs. Marion Ross, 2000 Arch Street, said she objected to commercial zoning because the neighborhood had become an integrated one and if it became a com- mercial district, some of the people would move and cause the area to become a slum neighborhood. Mr. John Bilheimer, Attorney, objected to rezoning the property commercial. He said traffic has reduced on Broadway, young people are now moving back and there is evidence of the area changing back to residential. He also stated that there isn't any need of a convenience store at this location because of the cheaper prices at nearby food markets within walking distance of this area. Mr. DeMatt Henderson, representing the estate, stated that old-time residents did not object to commercial zoning in this area. The proposed use for this property is a convenience store. He also stated that it would be impossible for apartments to be built on this land because of the lack of parking space. A petition containing 54 signatures in objection was submitted and three letters in objection from: 1. Mrs. Dale Bumpers - Governor's Mansion 2. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnston - 2122 Broadway 3. Mr. Steve Strauss - 4 Sunset Drive A motion was made for approval of the application, which was seconded and passed. - 3 - THIS COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE MUST ACCOMPANY THE REZONING APPLICATION (FILL IN or CROSS OUT words or -lines not appropriate) 1.
