Dear Mr. Minyard,
I would like to thank you and Vince Hustead for taking time to provide
valuable information to me regarding U -Liner Mid America's application for a
"Land Use Admendment" on Pleasant Hill Road.
fully understand the applicants desire to expand their business and their
need for permission from the City of Little Rock due to their
"non-comformance" status in regards to the annexation.
I am not opposed to the applicant erecting two new buildings on their
current property. However, I am strongly opposed to any land use admendment
that would result in, or increase the possibility of re -zoning the
surrounding area from R2 to Industrial.
There are many single family homeowners in this area. I am optimistic that
the City of Little Rock will be very careful to protect our property values
and will continue to promote future residental development by ensuring the
current R2 zoning remains in effect.
Hopefully, an admendment can be granted in such a manner that will allow the
applicant to build the new buildings on their current property while
ensuring the surrounding area remains zoned a single family residental (R2).
Should you desire additional information, please contact me on 455-4105.
Regards,
Gary D. Briggs

Re: Request to "Amend land use plan from SF to I" at 13701 Pleasant Hill Road
During the development of the Chicot West/1-30 South Neighborhood Action
Plan residents of the represented Neighborhood Associations voted to restrict
future industrial zoning away from the industrial corridors along 1-30 and the
Union Pacific Railroad. Those residents also conceded that existing industrial
zoning should remain in place, if the owners so wished; and that non-
conforming industrial uses should be allowed to continue to operate.
The current zoning request comes from one of the two properties currently
zoned R2 but "grandfathered" at a higher usage level along Pleasant Hili. Road,
I am opposed to the requested land use plan change. As an alternative, I
would like to suggest the applicant be granted a PID to allow continuation of
the existing use. This would allow the applicant to add the needed structures to
the property without subjecting this predominantly residential neighborhood to
unrestricted industrial development.
Respectfully submi ,
