ITEM NO.: 10.1 FILE NO.: LU00-03-02
Name: Land Use Plan Amendment - West Little Rock
Planning District
Location: 2001 N. Arthur Street
Request: Single Family to Mixed Use
Source: Stanley M. Gray
PROPOSAL / REQUEST:
Land Use Plan amendment in the West Little Rock Planning
District from Single Family to Mixed Use. Mixed Use
provides for a mixture of residential, office and
commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning District is
required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if
the use is a mixture of the three. The applicant wishes to
develop the property for a residence and an office.
EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is currently zoned R-2 Single Family and is
approximately .16+ acres in size. The applicant's property
is completely surrounded by residential property occupied
by single family homes zoned R-2 Single Family.
FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS:
On June 20, 2000 a change took place in the 200 block of N.
McKinley Street from Single Family to Suburban Office one
mile south of the applicant's property.
On March 16, 1999 multiple changes took place northeast of
the Markham Street / University Avenue intersection one
mile south of the applicant's property.
On November 7, 1996 multiple changes took place south of
Cantrell Road along Indiana and Bryant Street one mile west
of the applicant's property.
The applicant's property is currently shown as Single
Family on the Future Land Use Plan. All of the
neighboring property is also shown as Single Family on the
Future Land Use Plan.

MASTER STREET PLAN:
There are no streets or bikeways shown on the Master Street
Plan that would be affected by this proposed amendment.
Kavanaugh Boulevard at this location is a local street.
PARKS:
The Park System master Plan shows an open space located on
Cantrell Road between Garfield Street and Normandy Lane.
This park would not be affected by the proposed amendment.
CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
The applicant's property is located in an area not covered
by a neighborhood action plan.
All of the neighboring properties to the north have
accessory structures located in the back yards. None of
the accessory structures are readily visible from Arthur
Street. The applicant's garage is visible only from
Kavanaugh Boulevard. The exterior of the applicant's
accessory building is currently compatible with the other
accessory structures located in the neighborhood. The
accessory structures in this neighborhood are typical of
Single Family properties in this neighborhood. The area
under review is isolated from other land use areas in the
neighborhood compatible with the applicant's request. The
applicant's property is also two blocks from the nearest
collector street (University Avenue) and one block from the
nearest principal arterial (Cantrell Road).
GHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood
associations: Andover Square R.A., Apache Crime Watch,
Briarwood N.A., Evergreen N.A., Heights N.A., Leawood N.A
Meriwether N.A., Normandy -Shannon P.O.A., Overlook P.O.A.

ITEM NO.: 10.1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU00-03-02
received two comments from area residents: one in support
and one neutral.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is not appropriate. The proposed
amendment would allow an intrusion of an incompatible land
use in an area completely surrounded by Single Family land
uses.

Brian Minyard, City Staff, made a brief presentation to the
commission.

Development would be tied to the applicant only. Monte

10.1. See item 10 for a complete discussion concerning the
Short Form Planned Commercial Development.

plumbing to the garage located on his property.
