development in close proximity to a neighborhood, providing goods
and services to that neighborhood market area.
CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is currently zoned R2 and is approximately 1/5 of an
acre in size. The property is currently shown as Suburban Office
on the Land Use Plan. Immediately to the south is a C.U.P. for a

Commercial lies to the north.
RECENT AMENDMENTS:
November 4, 1998, a change from Office to Suburban south of
Preston Road on the west side of Chicot (which includes this
proposed amendment site). This action was part of the
Neighborhood Plan.
STER STREET PLAN:
Chicot Road is shown as a Principal Arterial on the plan and is
built to a four -lane cross section.
BACKGROUND:
This site was included as one of the changes in the Chicot West
I-30 South Neighborhood Action Plan. This area was shown as
Office on the Land Use Plan and was changed to Suburban Office.
This site has a history of non-residential uses. In the past, an
office was located in the structure with a commercial use, most
recently being an insurance agency and a hair salon sharing the
building. This site has lost its non -conforming status. The
applicant proposes to change the use of the entire building to a
hair salon.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 6, 1998)
Brian Minyard of Staff presented the item and stated that the use
could be permitted in Suburban Office with a C.U.P. request. That
request would make the Land Use Plan Amendment unnecessary.

Suburban Office -- would have more range of uses and more intense
or obtrusive to the neighborhood. She also asked for an
explanation of Suburban Office.
Walter Malone, of Staff explained that the C.U.P. was on the
Subdivision agenda four weeks from today and explained further.
Commissioner Hawn asked if they could suggest to the applicant to
defer for six weeks concerning the Land Use Plan. Discussion
followed about the applicant withdrawing the application.
Chairman Lichty asked one of the applicants to step forward and
ask to withdraw the application. The applicant asked to withdraw
the application. Chairman Lichty apologized for the commission.
Commissioner Hawn made a motion to withdraw the item and waive
the time requirements for withdrawal. The motion was seconded
and approved with 8 ayes, 0 nays and 3 absent.
