is shown as Park/Open Space. The rest of the property
surrounding Area 1 is shown as Single Family.
Area 2 is shown as Multi -family on the Future Land Use Plan. All
of the property surrounding Area 2 is shown as Multi -family
except for a piece of property at the northwest corner that is
shown as Single Family.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Reservoir Road is shown on the Master Street Plan as a Minor
Arterial. The Master Street Plan lists the Reservoir Connection
West Bikeway as a Class I Bikeway connecting Reservoir Road to
Reservoir Park.
PARKS:
The Little Rock Parks and Recreation Master Plan shows Reservoir
Park on the east side of Reservoir Road as an existing park. The
proposed amendment will not affect Reservoir Park given that it
is in recognition of existing uses. The Parks and Recreation
Master Plan also shows a 100 -Year Floodplain, and a Potential
Greenbelt, along the banks of Grassy Flat Creek. The plan
recommends the preservation of open spaces in flood plains to
connect create Greenbelts that will serve as green space
corridors throughout the city.

CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
Both study areas are located in an area covered by the Reservoir
Neighborhood Action Plan. These amendments are a result of the
neighborhood planning process.
ANALYSIS:
Both areas recommended for change are located in a built out
residential area. The two properties are centrally located on a
street that serves as the main access for the surrounding
neighborhoods. Both of the properties in question are churches
oriented towards, and accessed from, Reservoir Road. In both
cases the recommended changes to Public Institutional would
recognize existing land uses. Any future development of this
property as a result of this amendment should consider the
impacts of such changes on the traffic patterns and drainage of
this area. However, any impacts on traffic or drainage will be
minimal due to the size of the properties in question. Reservoir
Park and the open space along Grassy Flat Creek will not be by
the land use plan changes proposed. This proposed amendment
recognizes existing land uses at the properties in question.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations:
Birchwood Neighborhood Association, Beverly Hills Property Owners
Association, Colony West Homeowners Neighborhood Association,
Echo Valley Property Owners Association, Rainwood Cove Property
Owners Association, Santa Fe Heights Neighborhood Association,
Sturbridge Property Owners Association, Treasure Hills
Neighborhood Association, Walnut Valley Neighborhood Association,
and Heights Neighborhood Association. Staff has not received any
comments from area residents or neighborhood associations at this
time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is appropriate.
