You wrote to my clients on August 10, 2016 regarding a proposed change to the City of Little Rock's Future Land Use Plan which would, if approved, change the Land Use Plan designation for my client's property from Light Industrial (LI) to Service Trade District (STD). The Case number is LU 16-02-04. They have authorized me to send this letter addressing their position regarding the proposed changes. My clients are against the proposed change for the following reasons: 1. They understand and acknowledge your letter's statement that this proposed change would not change the zoning or currently allowable uses of the property. However, this property is being actively marketed for sale and they prefer for the Light Industrial designation to remain in effect because it is more in line with the zoning classifications that fit the most likely use and development of this land. The current zoning of R-2 is not realistic for this property and is already in conflict with the Future Land Use Plan. Therefore, a change in zoning for this property is very likely in the future. The Planning Commission and planning staff often refer to and base recommendations and decisions on the Future Land Use Plan when considering requests for zoning changes. The LI designation is more likely to be consistent with a zoning change requested in the future by a buyer of my clients' property. 2. The Land Use Plan Definition for STD is more narrowly defined than that for LI and it clearly envisions an office component within any development of the property, which is less realistic than the industrial uses mentioned in the Land Use Definition for LI. 3. The Land Use Definition for STD makes clear that a Planned Zoning District will be required for any development not wholly office, which is not an automatic requirement with Ll. While it's possible that a PZD would be utilized to achieve a zoning change under LI, it's not an absolute requirement. A "wholly office" development of this land is not likely, so effectively this proposed Land Use Plan change would make a PZD a necessity for development of this property. 4. Because of its proximity to the interstate highway and the extensive commercial and industrial development to the east, west, and north of the subject property, Light Industrial has always seemed a very appropriate Land Use designation for this property, and still does. Each Office is Independently Owned and Operated. Walter Malone, AICP September 9, 2016 Page 2 Because of the reasons stated above, the owners of this property do not think the property development patterns in the area warrant a Land Use Plan change for their tract of land, and they respectfully ask that the property retain its current Light Industrial land use designation. Sincerely, Jeffrey R. Hathaway, CCIM, SIOR President Malone, Walter From: Per m> Sent: _a Se tember 08, 2016 10:30 P To: Malone, Subject: Future Land Use Plan To whom it may concern: In regards to the cities future land use plan in the area of Alexander, as owner/taxpayer of three parcels of land located on the eastbound service road of 1-30, 1 am NOT in favor of the "Future Land Use Plan" changing from MCI to STD. The area is and has been commercial/industrial for years. Such a change can have drastic impact on the current businesses that are generating significant tax dollars for the city. In a letter dated 8/10/2016 the city of Little Rock mentions, the fact that the service road is one directional will limit the commercial traffic. A statement of that nature indicates lack of knowledge and research. Its rare to find bidirectional service roads inside most city limits. Additionally Commercial Businesses in our area on 1-30 are thriving. The Service Trade District will not be beneficial in our area. The city needs to consider alternative locations for developing Service Trade and continue to improve support for the current Commercial/Industrial Trade.

Westerman'; 'Lewis Mahoney' Subject: 11610 Vimy Ridge Road Walter, Thanks so much for speaking with me this afternoon about the City's Future Land Use Plan as it pertains to the above address. Although I do understand that the change in the current Land Use Plan would not impact zoning, my clients and I do have a concern that it could impact our ability to market and find the appropriate user for the building based on perception alone. As an example and as I mentioned, we are currently working with an international company that has expressed an interest in and toured this facility on numerous occasions. This would be their first investment in the U.S. and any such change in the City's Land Use Plan for this property could likely eliminate it from consideration. This is a project that we have been working on for months with the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, the Governor, Mayor Stodola and the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, it would likely make any manufacturing user very nervous about occupying the building for a long period of time, which I know is not the intent of this effort because these companies tend to employ many people and have a significant economic impact of the City and the region. Again, I appreciate you spending time with me on the phone this afternoon and respectfully request, on behalf of my clients, that the address of 11610 Vimy Ridge Road be removed from the Future Land Use Plan. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.
