MASTER STREET PLAN:
FILE NO.: LU99-19-01
Chenal Parkway is shown as a Principal Arterial and Kirk Road is
shown as a Collector on the plan. This section of Chenal is
currently a four lane undivided road, but final plans for the
roadway will include medians similar to the other sections of
Chenal.
PARKS:
This site is near the western edge of the Rock Creek Park that
lies within the median of Chenal Parkway.
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.
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN:
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."
