BACKGROUND The proposed Land Use Plan amendments are in the River Mountain, West Little Rock, Heights Hillcrest, Downtown, I- 630, Boyle Park, I-430, 65`x' Street West and Port Planning Districts from Low Density Residential, Commercial, Multi- family, Industrial, and Single Family to Park/Open Space and Public Institutional. Park /Open Space includes all public parks, recreation facilities, greenbelts, floodplains, and other designated open space and recreational land. Public ` Institutional includes public and quasi -public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community such as schools, libraries, fire stations, churches, utility substations and hospitals. This amendment has eleven parcels which may or may not be shown on the 1983 Park System Master Parks Plan, but are shown on the new 2001 Little Rock Parks and Recreation Master Plan. These areas are not shown as either Park / Open Space or Public Institutional on the Land Use Plan. The proposed zoning on all eleven parcels is to the new Park zoning category. With the adoption of the new master plan for parks, these changes bring the Future Land Use Plan into accordance with each other.
