The Planning Boundary for the City of Little Rock has changed therefore the Future Land Use plan should reflect the changes. EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING.- These ONING: These areas are in the portion of the Planning Boundary that we do not zone. The first area which is on both sides of Frazier Pike near Harper and Damsite Roads is mostly agricultural with a small grouping of homes along Harper, Young and Levee Roads. The second area is more varied in use. Near Pratt Road and 1-530, there is a school, a factory site, and some additional non-residential uses along with vacant land. FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS: August 6, 2013, Changes were made along Arch Street Pike at Pratt Road and north of Pratt Road which were over two miles for the site. PLANS (Master Street Plan, Land Use Plan, Parks Plan, etc.): The portion of each Plan that covers the area no longer within the Planning Boundary shall no longer be in effect. It may be used for representational purposes only (or should be removed from the appropriate 'Plan'). The area of coverage for any and all planning efforts by the City of Little Rock would be reduced by the amount of change from the current Planning Boundary to the new proposed Planning Boundary. October 31, 2013 ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont. ANALYSIS FILE NO.: LU13-03 The changes to the Planning Boundary are described in the following two paragraphs. These changes have been approved by the Planning Commission and City of Little Rock Board of Directors earlier. The first area is on both sides of Frazier Pike Road was removed from the Planning Boundary on October 1, 2012 per Ordinance 20,638 as a result of an application that concerned a Water Improvement District. The Frazier Pike Facilities Board requested their area be excluded from Little Rock's Planning Area so that they could use less costly rural design standards for improvements within the district. The second area on both sides of 1-530 was a result of a legislative change in the maximum area of planning boundaries that can be practiced by different cities of different sizes. Arkansas Act 186 of 1957 which permits cities of the first and second class to approve a planning area of five miles for subdivision review was recently changed by the State Legislature. Now, the maximum distance for a city our size is three miles as stated by Act 1053 of 2013. Portions of this area lay outside of the three mile radius from the city limits, therefore to be in compliance with state law, the Planning Boundary was moved inwards towards that city limits. This was approved by the City of Little Rock Board of Directors on August 6, 2013 per Ordinance 20,754. On both of the areas described above, there is a portion of the Future Land Use plan that is shown outside of the planning boundary. Since Little Rock no longer has jurisdiction in these areas, they should be removed from the plan. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: There are not any neighborhood associations in the area to send notices. We have not sent notices to property owners since we do not zone this area. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes the change is appropriate.
