Public Institutional includes public and quasi -public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community such as schools, libraries, fire stations, churches, utility substations, and hospitals. 4. The west side of Junior Deputy Road at Monette Drive. A change is from Park Open Space to Suburban Office. The Suburban Office category shall provide for low intensity development of office or office parks in close proximity to lower density residential areas to assure compatibility. A Planned Zoning District is required. 5. The area between Interstate 430 and Shackleford Road, north of 36th Street. A change is from Mixed Office Commercial to Mixed Use. Mixed Use provides for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a mixture of the three. July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 6. The area on both sides of Old Shackleford Road, north of 36th Street. A change is from Service Trades District to Mixed Use. Mixed Use provides for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a mixture of the three. 7. The north terminus of Dover Drive. A change is from Public Institutional to Residential Medium Density. Residential Medium Density accommodates a broad range of housing types including single family attached, single family detached, duplex, town homes, multi -family and patio or garden homes. Any combination of these and possibly other housing types may fall in this category provided that the density is between six (6) and twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. 8. The area on both sides of Shackleford Road, north of Colonel Glenn Road. A change from Light Industrial to Service Trades. Service Trades District provides for a selection of office, warehousing, and industrial park activities that primarily serve other office service or industrial businesses. The district is intended to allow support services to these businesses and to provide for uses with an office component. A Planned Zoning District is required for any development not wholly office. 9. The northwest corner of Colonel Glenn and Allard Roads. A change from Residential Low Density to Public Institutional. Public Institutional includes public and quasi -public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community such as schools, libraries, fire stations, churches, utility substations, and hospitals. 10.

A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a mixture of the three. 11. An area east of Stagecoach Road, south of Susie Lane. The change is from Neighborhood Commercial to Office and Residential Low Density. The office category represents services provided directly to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, medical) as well as general offices which support more basic economic activities. Residential Low Density provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 units per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes, but may include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than 6 units per acre. 12. West side of John Barrow Road, between 31St and 32nd Streets. A change from Public Institutional to Residential Low Density. Residential Low Density provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 units 7 July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 (Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 per acre.

Residential Low Density provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 units per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes, but may include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than 6 units per acre. 17. Two areas, one on both sides of 65th Street, west of Geyer Springs Road and the other west of Geyer Springs Road, between Big Oak Lane and Forbing Road. The first area is a change from Industrial to Light Industrial. Light Industrial provides for light warehouse, distribution or storage uses, and/or other industrial uses that are developed in a well-designed "park like" setting. The second area changes from Commercial and Industrial to Mixed Use, north of Myerson Drive, and Industrial to Commercial south of Myerson Drive. Mixed Use provides for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur.

ANALYSIS: The Planning and Development staff began reviewing this area at the beginning of 2012. The existing development pattern, as well as existing zoning and recent re-classification actions were reviewed. After field visits and staff discussions, letters were sent to all neighborhood associations in the area and other neighborhood stakeholders asking for suggested changes in the area. Little comment was received from this contact. A package of changes was developed by Staff and affected property owners identified. All the affected property owners were contacted about the possibility of changing the Land Use Plan designation of their property. Staff received numerous phone calls and email responses to that letter notifying them of the proposed changes. Most contacts were informational only, one contact was not positive. One was in opposition, expressing concerns about the limitations the change might place on future property owners of their land. The final package of changes was developed and property owners together with neighborhood associations were contacted about the public hearing to consider the changes. Staff believes this package of changes is a 'clean-up' to more accurately reflect the current and likely future development pattern in the area of the changes. This resulting 'package' of changes should create a more accurate Future Land Use Plan that all can use, whether public or private. Area 1 is along the north side of Kanis Road at Labette Drive. The area is zoned and partially developed for a church. The eastern portion is still wooded. There is a retirement mid -rise and rehabilitation facility to the north. These properties are zoned various office classifications (0-1, Quiet Office District, 0-2, Office & Institutional District, and 0-3, General Office District) as well as R-6 (High-rise Apartment District). To the west is zoned C-3 (General Commercial District) with single-family homes located on the land. To the south and east the zoning pattern is generally residential, R-2 (Single Family District). Much of the land is wooded, however a single- family subdivision is under development to the south. Immediately to the south is a Planned Office District of a rehabilitation center. The site is partially developed and zoned for a church and its campus, with the undeveloped land to be part of that campus. Thus Public Institutional reflects the existing and likely mid-term use of the land. 5 July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 (Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 2. Area 2 is east side of John Barrow Road between Labette and Kanis Road. It is currently undeveloped with 0-3 (General Office District). To the south is a large church zoned R-2 (Single Family District) with a Conditional Use Permit for the church. To the east and west are apartment complexes. The zoning to the west is R-5 (Urban Residential District) and to the east is MF -12 (Multifamily 12 -units per acre District). To the north is shown Commercial on the Plan with commercial businesses as well as zoned C-3 (General Commercial District). The area of the amendment has been acquired by the church to the south and a portion is currently used for parking for that church. Thus a change to Public Institutional would more accurately reflect the current and likely future development pattern. 3. Area 3 is west side of John Barrow Road, between Morris Manor and Labette Drives. Both of these areas are developed. The site is developed with a public library and is zoned Planned District Office (PDO). To the west is MF -12 (Multifamily 12 -unit per acre District) with an apartment complex on the land. To the north is 0-3 (General Office District) and Planned District Residential (PDR). The office is developed with a business and the PDR is wooded and undeveloped at this time. To the east across John Barrow Road the land is C-3 (General Commercial District) and 0-3 (General Office District) and is wooded. Since the site is developed with a library, Public Institutional would best represent the current and likely mid-term future use of the land. 4. Area 4 is west side of Junior Deputy Road at Monette Drive. This area is owned by Baptist Medical Center. This had been a site for a proposed park to go with the police sub -station to the north. However in the last few years the parks development has been centered on parkland to the south closer to 36th Street and Colonel Glenn Road. The current zoning is Planned Office District that has expired (the previous zoning was 0-3 (General Office District). To the north and west is zoned 0-3 (General Office District) and partially developed with medical related offices. The remaining land is wooded and undeveloped. To the east and south is R-2 (Single Family District) with single-family homes. The likely future development pattern for this site is additional medical related offices. 5. Area 5 is between Interstate 430 and Shackleford Road, north of 36th Street. The site is zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and is a large commercial center. The southern portion is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and is wooded. To the west across Interstate 430 is a single family subdivision that is zoned R-2 (Single Family District). To the north across Interstate 430 is zoned 0-3 (General Office District) and 0-2 (Office and Institutional District). It is mostly developed with office buildings, though a small portion remains undeveloped. To the east across Shackleford Road is zoned OS (Open Space District) and is Camp Aldersgate. To the south are various commercial zoned tracts and some R-2 (Single Family District) 0 July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 (Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 undeveloped land. Some of the commercial zoned land is developed but much is wooded and undeveloped. Over seventy-five percent of the area is already developed as a commercial center, making Commercial use the most likely mid-term land use pattern for the area. 6. Area 6 is on both sides of Old Shackleford Road, north of 36th Street. Most of the land is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and is undeveloped wooded lands. The eastern most portion of the area is zoned various forms of commercial zoning and has several small businesses located on the land. To the east is 0-3 (General Office District) land across Shackleford Road, currently wooded and undeveloped. To the west is wooded undeveloped R-2 (Single Family District) land. North of the area in question is zoned Planned Commercial District and is a large commercial center. South of the site across Colonel Glenn Road is vacant wooded R-2 (Single Family District) land. The use pattern developing along Shackleford Road is retail and commercial in nature. With the existing street pattern, development pattern as well as topography and drainage ways in the area, a pattern that would allow a mix of uses and the flexibility to work with the existing land would be most appropriate for this area. 7. Area 7 is at the north terminus of Dover Drive. The site is wooded and undeveloped. The zoning is an expired Planed Office District (POD), with an underlying MF -18 (Multifamily 18 -units per acre District). To the north is MF -18 zoning with a rehabilitation center located on the site. To the west is MF -12 (Multifamily 12 -units per acre District), with an apartment complex on the site. To the east is single-family neighborhoods zoned R-2 (Single - Family District). South of the site is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) with a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a church, that is located on the site. Since the proposed public quasi -public use proposed in 2001 did not happen, a more accurate designation for this land is to reflect the existing zoning that would allow for a multifamily development to occur on the site. 8. Area 8 is on both sides of Shackleford Road, north of Colonel Glenn Road. The majority of the area is zoned industrial (1-1, Industrial Park District and 1-2, Light Industrial District), with R-2 (Single Family District) either side of Shackleford Road at Colonel Glenn. The 1-1 areas are developed as warehouse showroom developments. There is a mini -warehouse development zoned Planned Commercial District (PCD). The R-2 areas are currently vacant tracts of land, with only a couple of the former houses remaining. To the north is a large mobile home park, east of Shackleford Road and wooded undeveloped land in the remaining areas. East of Shackleford Road is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and west of Shackleford Road is zoned MF -12 (Multifamily 12 -units per acre District). To the west is C-2 (Shopping Center District) with a radio station and event N July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 [Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 center. To the south are vacant R-2 (Single Family District) land and 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and a Planned Office District (POD). The 1-2 land has a landscape company on it, with the POD partially developed with office warehouse showroom development. To the east is R-2 (Single Family District) and 1-2 (Light Industrial District) land. The R-2 land has houses on it and the 1-2 is vacant land. Most of the land in the area of the Plan change is office warehouse or mini -warehouse, thus the likely future development pattern of this area is consistent with Service Trades District. 9. Area 9 is the northwest corner of Colonel Glenn and Allard Roads. The site is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) with a Conditional Use Permit for a church, which was recently built on the site. To the north and east is zoned R-2 and R-3 (Single Family Districts). The land to the north is wooded and undeveloped. The land to the east is wooded and partially developed with homes. To the west is undeveloped wooded, 1-2 (Light Industrial District) land. South of the site is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and Planned District Commercial. There is a business on part of the land and houses on some of the land. The most likely future development pattern is a continuation of the present pattern. The likely future use of the site is to continue as a church, thus a Public Institutional designation would be appropriate. 10. Area 10 is south of Colonel Glenn Road from Brodie Creek to Stagecoach Road. This is a portion of Colonel Glenn Road where homes had dotted a county road. Colonel Glenn has become an arterial with higher traffic and will be widened to double its current width. Nonresidential uses have started to appear along the road. The western portion of the area is predominantly R-2 (Single Family District) with both homes and business uses. The eastern portion is zoned C-3 (General Commercial District) and C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) with retail businesses and an agriculture co-op business. To the south is a large tract zoned R-2 (Single Family District) with a Conditional Use Permit for a church, which exists on the site. To the west is a single-family subdivision zoned R-2 (Single Family District). To the north is both R-2 zoning and office (0-3, General Office District and Planned Development Office). Two churches exist in the R-2 area as well as a couple of homes. The area is changing and some nonresidential use is appropriate. The Mixed Use designation will allow some conversion but at the same time with the Planned District process assures that change will be reviewed to protect the remaining residential, as well as allowing for truly mixed use developments. 11. Area 11 is east of Stagecoach Road, south of Susie Lane. This area had been shown as Neighborhood Commercial due to the non-residential zoning of vacant land. The southern portion has been reclassified to Planned District Residential (PDR) and is part of a larger residential development. The northern portion remains zoned 0-3 (General Office District) and A July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 vacant. To the north, east, and west is zoned R-2 (Single Family District). To the north and east are single-family subdivisions. To the west is a large church development. South of the area is a PR (Park District) tract along Brodie Creek. The recent zoning and development of the PDR is recognized by the change, as is the existing zoning of the vacant tract just south of Susie Lane. 12. Area 12 is along the west side of John Barrow Road, between 31St and 32nd Streets. This had been the site of a church, which has been removed. The land is zoned R-3 (Single Family District) with no Conditional Use Permit. To the north, south and west is R-3 zoned land. The land is undeveloped to the north and south and only partial developed to the west (with a couple of homes). To the east across John Barrow Road is an expired Planned Commercial Development. There has been more residential than non- residential activity in the area and the site is zoned for single family, based on this a change to Low Density Residential for the site has been recommended. 13. Area 13 is southeast of Colonel Glenn Road and Marborough Street. The area is a fire station and church, with zonings of 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and 0-1 (Quiet Office District). To the south and east is R-2 (Single Family District) land with houses. To the north and along Colonel Glenn to the west are Planned Commercial Districts with businesses on them. The current and likely future use of the area is for Public Institutional - a fire station and church. 14. Area 14 is south of Baseline Road, on both sides of Sibley Hole Road. The area is wooded and undeveloped. There is 1-1 (Industrial Park District), expired Planned Commercial District and expired Planned Industrial District. To the north is R-2 (Single Family District), Planned Industrial District and 1-2 (Light Industrial District) zoning. Most of the area is undeveloped land, are a few homes and a complex of State Highway Department buildings toward the western edge. In the center there is a 'You Pull It' business. To the east is a church zoned R-2 (Single Family District) with a Conditional Use Permit for the church. To the south is 0-3 (General Office District), and an expired Planned Commercial District. The western half is undeveloped partial wooded land. The eastern area is offices and businesses. To the west is a mini -warehouse and outdoor entertainment area with zoning of 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and Planned District Industrial. This area has not seen any development in recent years. To move the Mixed Office Commercial area all the way to Baseline Road and leave the large area north of Baseline for Service Trades District appears appropriate. 15. Area 15 is east of Mabelvale Pike, north of the Interstate 30/Baseline Road interchange. The area is owned and used by the State Highway Department. The land is zoned R-2 (Single Family District). To the east is July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 R-2 (Single Family District) land with the main campus of the Highway Department. To the south is C-3 (General Commercial District), C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) and Planned Commercial District land with hotels and retail uses. To the north is 1-2 (Light Industrial District) land partially developed. East of the area is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and C-3 (General Commercial District), with a business and former mobile home park. Since the State owns and uses the land, the appropriate use would be Public Institutional. 16. Area 16 is northwest of Mabelvale Pike, north of Mabelvale Circle. This is an area that has not seen any development in years. The land is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and has one home on it. To the north, east, and south is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and is generally wooded and undeveloped. There is a large floodway for Fourche Creek along the north side for this area. To the southwest is 1-2 (Light Industrial District) land that is undeveloped. Since there has been no activity and there is significant amount of zoned vacant industrial land, the recommendation is to move the non-residential line back to the zoning line. Moving the Residential Medium Density area southwest that buffers the single-family, and as a result moving the Residential Low Density area similarly. 17. Area 17 is two areas, one on both sides of 65th Street, west of Geyer Springs Road and the other west of Geyer Springs Road, between Big Oak Lane and Forbing Road. The first area is zoned 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and is mostly auto related businesses and mini -storage. To the north is C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) and has retail and commercial businesses. To the east is Planned Industrial District and C-3 (General Commercial District), with a food distribution business, retail and a mobile home park on the land. To the south is 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and has large warehouses and some manufacturing. To the west across the main Union Pacific Railroad tracks is C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) and Planned Commercial District zoning, with retail uses. Light Industrial is more appropriate than Industrial to represent the current and likely future development pattern of this land. The second area is west of Geyer Springs Road from Big Oak Lane to Forbing Road. To the west, north, and south, the zoning is 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and Planned Industrial District, with a tree service, warehouse and manufacturing facilities. To the east across Geyer Springs is zoned C-3 (General Commercial District) and developed retail and commercial. The northern part of this area is zoned C-3 (General Commercial District) and 1-2 (Light Industrial District). The commercial area is used for multifamily and some retail use, while the industrial land is vacant. This area is currently shown as Commercial and Industrial respectively on the Plan. Based on current use and likely future use of this land, Mixed Use is a more appropriate designation. The southern section, 10 July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 (Co FILE NO.: south of Meyerson Drive is zoned 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and has several commercial businesses and a house located on the land. Based on the lot size, current use of the land and surrounding uses a more appropriate future use would be Commercial for this area. 18. Area 18 is northwest of 65th Street and Battle Road. The zoning is 1-2 (Light Industrial with an existing business. To the north and west is a Planned Industrial District) for a food distribution company. To the east is C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) for a commercial business and to the south is C-3 (General Commercial District) for a business. Light Industrial is consistent with the existing use and zoning of the site. 19. Area 19 is northeast of 65th Street and Battle Road. The zoning is C-4 (Open Display Commercial District), 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and Planned District Industrial. There are several commercial businesses in the area. To the north is a single-family subdivision zoned R-2 (Single Family District). To the west is 1-2 (Light Industrial District) with a business. To the east is C-3 (General Commercial District) with a business. To the south is I- 2 (Light Industrial District) with businesses. This area has been shown as Mixed Commercial Industrial. With changes in today's economy and development patterns Service Trades District is intended to be support for other industrial and business areas, this area is consistent with this. 20. Area 20 is two areas, one east of Scott Hamilton Road at 69th Street and the other southwest of 69th and Murray Streets. Both sites are zoned 1-2 (Light Industrial District). The one on Scott Hamilton is the Job Corp site and is both a housing and training facility. The other at 69th and Murray is a fire station and training facility for the City of Little Rock. Both are surrounded by 1-2 (Light Industrial District) land and various warehouse, distribution and light fabrication facilities. These are both relatively new public facilities and are likely to remain in place for many more years. 21. Area 21 is east side of University Avenue, south of Fourche Creek. The zoning is Planned Commercial District and the use is a church. To the north is zoned C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) and is a golf driving range. To the west across University Avenue is C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) and is undeveloped. To the east is C-3 (General Commercial District) and is undeveloped. To the south is a single-family subdivision zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and undeveloped. There is a church on a portion of the area and that church has a proposed expansion on to the remaining land. 22. Area 22 is northeast of David O Dodd Road along Waters Edge Road. The land is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and is a partially developed single- family subdivision. To the north, south and east is R-2 (Single Family District) land. To the north and east the land is undeveloped and wooded, while to the south is a single-family subdivision. To the west is an expired 11 July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: $ Cont. FILE NO.: LU12-01 Planned District Residential and R-2 (Single Family District) land that is undeveloped. The area is a developing single-family subdivision and the likely future use of the area is single-family. 23. Area 23 is north of Interstate 30, on both sides of Warehouse Road. The area is zoned C-3 (General Commercial District), C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) and 1-2 (Light Industrial District). There are various types of businesses from attorney office to motorcycle sales and flooring sales to warehouse distribution. To the north is zoned R-2 (Single Family District) and is a single-family subdivision. To the east are C-3 (General Commercial District) and C-4 (Open Display Commercial District) with businesses located on the land. To the west is R-2 (Single Family District) where a former mobile home park existed and a non -conforming business. To the south across Interstate 30 is 1-2 (Light Industrial District) and C-3 (General Commercial District). There are various businesses located on this land. The area has been shown as Mixed Commercial Industrial, due to changes in the economy and development, a change is appropriate. This area once was `Highway Commercial' uses but with today's economy and development pattern a more likely future development pattern for the area is Service Trades District. 24. Area 24 is east of Stagecoach Road at Shackleford Road. The zoning of the land is R-2 (Single Family District). There is a 'You pull it' facility and an old motel used for apartments located in the area. To the north, east and south is R-2 (Single Family District) land. To the north and south are houses, east of the site is vacant land (platted for houses). West of the area are two Planned Commercial Districts with structures on them. This site had been shown as Neighborhood Commercial with two non -conforming uses. The uses are still in place. The land across Stagecoach Road has been zoned and developed and is on the Plan as Service Trades District. Based on the changes over the last several years and current use pattern, Service Trades District is more appropriate than Neighborhood Commercial. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Brownwood Terrace POA, Geyer Springs, John Barrow, Kensington Place POA, Meadowcliff Brookwood, Pecan Lake POA, South Brookwood Ponderosa, Stagecoach Dodd, Tall Timber POA, Twin Lakes A POA, Twin Lakes B POA, Town and Country, Upper Baseline, Wakefield, Westwood, West Heights Place, and Westbrook were also notified. Letters were sent to over 150 property owners in the area. Staff has received several informational calls from area residents as a result of the initial mailing in May. These were mostly informational. From the second 12 July 19, 2012 ITEM NO.: 8 (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU12-01 mailing to over 140 property owners and the same neighborhood association was mailed on June 22, Staff has received less than half a dozen contacts. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: This package of amendments is designed to make the Future Land Use Plan more representative of current and likely mid-term future uses for this area. Staff believes the changes are appropriate. 13
