Land Use Plan Amendment in the Chenal Planning District from

category provides for shopping center development with one

to Public Institutional about 1 mile southeast of the
property in question at 715 Wellington Village Road.
On September 1, 1998 a change took place from Single Family
to Multi -family in an area east of Chenal Valley Drive about
of a mile northeast of the study area.
On September 1, 1998 a change took place from Multi -family

about 2/3 of a mile northeast of the area under review.
On May 6, 1997 multiple changes took place on the east side
of Chenal Parkway and along Rahling Road within a 1 -mile
radius of the property in question.
On September 19, 1995 multiple changes took place on the
west side of Chenal Parkway north of Kanis Road resulting in
the current future land use designations for the property in
question.
The property in question is currently shown as Multi -family,
Park/Open Space, Single Family, and Community Shopping. The
property to the north is shown as Low Density Residential,
Neighborhood Commercial, and Single Family. The property to
the east is shown as Commercial, Community Shopping and
Office. The property to the south is shown as and Single
Family. The property to the southwest is shown as Single
Family. A strip of Park/Open space is located along Rock
Creek to the west.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
Chenal Parkway is shown as a Principal Arterial on the
Master Street Plan. Rahling Road is shown on the Master
Street Plan as a Minor Arterial. The Master Street Plan
shows Rahling Road continuing to Lawson Road as a Principal
Arterial. In addition, the Master Street Plan also shows a
Class I Bikeway running along Chenal Parkway from Bowman
Road to State Highway 10.
The Park System Master Plan shows a proposed neighborhood
park close to Rock Creek near the southwest corner of the
area under review. Development of Community Shopping uses
is likely to increase the traffic in the area. Any
development of this site should address increased traffic,
impacts on the floodway of the creek and the ecological

balance of the natural area affecting the proposed
neighborhood park.
CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
The property under review is not located in an area covered
by a City of Little Rock recognized neighborhood action
plan.
ANALYSIS:
The area of review is located in a developing area near the
city limit west of Chenal Parkway. Most of the developed
land in the immediate area consists of shopping centers and
office parks. The residential subdivisions in the
surrounding area do not front on the arterial streets. Most
of the surrounding land remains
undeveloped.
The current future land use plan was implemented to match
the uses that were included in a Planned Commercial
Development that was to include residential, shopping, and
open space uses. The proposed development was never
constructed and the Planned Commercial Development was
partially revoked and this portion of the property reverted
to its original zoning. The land uses shown for the
property in question does not match the current zoning.
