PROPOSAL / RI~
A Land Use Plan amendment in the 65th Street West Planning District changing from Single
Family to Office. Total acreage for the proposed amendment is approximately one-third of an
acre (0.34±). Office represents services provided directly to consumers (such as legal, financial
and medical) as well as general offices that support more basic economic activities.
CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is currently zoned R-2 Single Family and is shown on the plan as Single Family.
All tracts adjacent to the site are also zoned R-2. Across Stagecoach Road is a convenience store
that is shown as Neighborhood Commercial. Directly south of the site across Stagecoach Road
is David O. Dodd Elementary School. To the east, west and north of the site area single family '
homes. The homes along Stagecoach Road are in good repair and sit on large lots. The ho=s (N"01�
'-
on David O. Dodd is a stable area of older homes.
RECENT -AMENDMENTS:
March 17, 1998, a change was made from Multi Family and Single Family south of Talley Road
adjacent to I-30 to Services Trades District.
A change was made from Parks / Open Space, Multi Family and Single Family on the west side
of Shackleford Road north of Stagecoach Road to Services Trades District.
A change from Multi -family and Parks / Open Space on the east side of Shackleford Road north
of Stagecoach Road to Office and Public Institutional.
December 19, 1995, a change from Single Family along both sides of Stagecoach Road east of I-
430 to Commercial, Mixed Use and Park/Open Space.
May 7, 1991, the area shown as Neighborhood Commercial was reduced at the intersection of
David O. Dodd and Stagecoach and at the intersection of Stagecoach and Shackleford.
MASTER STREET PLAN:
David O. Dodd and Stagecoach Road are shown as a Minor Arterials on the plan. Stagecoach
Road is currently a two lane road. There are no plans to widen the road within the next five to
ten years with current development patterns.
BACKGROUND:
This is a section of Little Rock which has not changed much in the last decade. There has been
no indication of any major changes in the next few years. The roads are not proposed for
widening and thus no change should be expected in the next five or more years. Under these
conditions, the existing single family character, the 'neighborhood' can be expected to continue.
The amendment presented is a result of an enforcement case. The current occupant has
converted a house to an office. However, both to the north near Colonel Glen and south nea
f are vacant available areas either zoned or shown on the Plan as appropriate. No evidence has
been presented to show why the Plan should be changed to increase the amouof non-
residential use in the area. ems, u
