Staff received two comments from neighborhood residents, one for and one against. 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."
