favor). Notices were sent to the following neighborhood

Ridge, Hillsborough N.A., Marlow Manor N.A., St. Charles

BACKGROUND
This section of the city has seen major growth in the past ten
years. With this growth, large areas of land have been changed
from the original Multi -family classification to more intensive
uses, such as commercial and office. Currently, there is a
supply of land that has been classified on the Land Use Plan to
these more intensive uses and has not been developed. These
areas should be developed before more land is changed to the
more intensive uses.
BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
The item was presented to the Commission by Staff. He
briefed the Commission on meetings with the applicants that
occurred since the printing of the agenda. At the time of the
printing of the agendas, Staff could not support the change to
Commercial on the site. However, with the stipulation of the
required PZD on the property, Staff could support the
amendment.
The property is currently zoned 02 and is approximately 3.5
acres in size. To the north is undeveloped pastureland zoned
MF 18 and shown as MF on the land Use Plan. Th the east of
the site, across Kirk Road, is a Texaco Station and other C3
property shown as Commercial. To the south is the new Kroger
and proposed shopping center that is shown as Mixed Office
Commercial and a PCD. To the east is the Highland Valley
United Methodist Church zoned R2 CUP in a Public
Institutional Land Use classification.
This site is included and is on the western boundary of the Rock
Creek Neighborhood Plan. The plan states in an objective of
the "Office and Commercial Development Goal" to "Encourage
Little Rock, not only tin the rock Creek Neighborhood but also
citywide, to adhere to the adopted land Use Plan. Encourage a
policy of reviewing the entire plan comprehensively and
thoughtfully every three to five years and making plan
amendments extremely rare."
