G. Fendley Delta - Coleman Inc. 4221 Richards Rd. North Little Rock, AR 72117 Dear Mr. E. G. Fendley, Enclosed is a copy of your item that is a part of the agenda for the October 14, 1999 Planning commission meeting. If there a.re any questions, please call me. Sincerely, Brian Eyard rs Planner II encl. \BRIAN\LU9915-03 DOC October 14, 1999 ITEM NO.: 6 FILE NO.: LU99-15-03 Name: Land Use Plan Amendment - Geyer Springs West Planning District Location: 8806 Mabelvale Pike Re est: Single Family to Light Industrial and Park/Open Space. Source: E. G. Fendley, Delta - Coleman Inc. PROPOSAL / REQUEST: Land Use Plan amendment in the Geyer Springs West Planning District from Single -Family to Light Industrial. Light Industrial provides for light warehouse, distribution or storage uses, and/or other industrial uses that area developed in a well-designed "park like" setting. Park/Open Space includes all parks, recreation facilities, greenbelts, flood plains, and other open space and recreational land. The applicant wishes to develop the property for industrial uses. Prompted by this Land Use Amendment request, the Planning Staff expanded the area of review north to include previously zoned I-2 land and the Fourche Creek floodway. EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING: The original application is a vacant wooded tract of land currently zoned R-2 Single Family and is approximately 19.54± acres in size. The zoning of the expanded area is R- 2, R -7A Mobile Home and I-2 Light Industrial. The undeveloped property to the north and west of the expanded area is zoned R-2. The Arkansas State Highway Department headquarters occupies the property to the south in an R-2 zone. The partially developed property to the east of the area is zoned I-2 and is currently developed as such. FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS: The proposed amendment area is shown as Single Family on the Land Use Plan. Park/Open Space is shown on the north side. A Public Institutional area is shown recognizing the Arkansas State Highway Department headquarters, which lies south of the proposed amendment. A Light Industrial area is October 14, 1999 ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU99-15-03 shown to the east while a Commercial area is shown to the south and east. Single Family areas lie to the west of the proposed amendment. On June 15, 1999, A change was made from Single Family to Suburban Office and Service Trades District on Baseline Road immediately west of the Arkansas State Highway Department headquarters about a half -mile southwest of the applicant's property. On December 6, 1994, a change was made from Park Open Space to Commercial at Baseline and I-30 about a half -mile southeast of the applicant's property. MASTER STREET PLAN: Mabelvale Pike is shown as a collector street on the plan. As part of the I-30 widening and one way access road conversion, new overpasses are proposed for Mabelvale Pike and Baseline Road to cross I-30. PARKS: The Master Parks Plan does not show any existing or proposed parks for this area. CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN: There is no recognized neighborhood action plan for this area. ANALYSIS: The proposed amendment lies in a wooded area south of the Fourche Creek. The current plans for improvements to I-30 will involve the construction of two new overpasses/underpasses for I-30 at Baseline Road and Mabelvale Pike. The changes for Baseline Road and Mabelvale Pike at I-30 may increase access to the area. In addition, the recent land use plan amendment on Baseline Road next to the Arkansas State Highway Department headquarters will intensify land uses in the area. The proposed amendment was not expanded further west in order to not preclude the possibility of residential development expanding north from an existing neighborhood towards Fourche Creek. The proposed amendment would also recognize the I-2 zoning to the north of the applicant's property. 2 October 14, 1999 ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.) NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: FILE NO.: LU99-15-03 Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Yorkwood N.A., Pinedale N.A., Santa Monica, N. A., Allendale N.A., Town and Country Estates N.A., Shiloh Homeowners, Chicot N.A., Rob Roy Way N.A., legion Hut N.A., Mavis Circle N.A., and Deer Meadow N.A. Staff has received four comments from area residents: two from property owners in the expanded area that is not in support of the change, another resident that was not in support and one that was neutral. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes the proposed amendment is appropriate. A change to Light Industrial coupled with the expansion of Park/Open Space would more accurately reflect the floodway along Fourche Creek and existing zoning in the area. 3 OCT -01-1999 08:49 DASSAULT FALCON JET TO: BRIAN MINYARD FROM: HAROLD WESSON WILLL4X TULLY FAX #: 501/ 371-6863 501 301 2055 P.01i01 FACSIMILE TRANSMITTAL FACSIMILE # 501/301-2055 TELEPHONE # 501/562-2471 DATE: 9 / 30/ 99 SUBJECT: FORMAL REQUEST TO ATTEND -------------------------- Dear Mr. Minyard, This is a formal request to verbally express our objection to land use plan amendment LU99-15-03, as land owners of the ajoining properties, at the city of Little Rock zoning committee meeting scheduled for October 1414.
