The property is currently zoned R2 and is approximately 3.2 acres

Family classification. St. Paul United Methodist Church lies on
Pinnacle Valley Road to the east of the site and in shown as
Public Institutional.

area recently. This area was reviewed in the Highway 10 Plan of
1986 and the Little Rock General Plan of 1989.
