Notification PARTICIPATION sent to the property owners and the following neighborhood associations: Capitol Hill Neighborhood Association, Forest Hills Neighborhood Association, Love Neighborhood Association, Pine to Woodrow Neighborhood Association, and Stephens Area Faith Neighborhood Association. BACKGROUND The proposed area comes out of the Stephens Area Neighborhood Action Plan. Early in 1998, the City of Little Rock together with leaders of five Stephen's area neighborhood associations joined to discuss the development of the Stephen's Area Neighborhood Action Plan. All involved viewed the collaboration as an opportunity to unify and revitalize the Stephen's area. BACKGROUND CONTINUED On March 9, 1998, the entire Stephen's community - consisting of residents, property owners, business owners, and civic leaders were encouraged to attend a Town Hall meeting at the Garland Elementary School. The purpose of the meeting was to solicit neighborhood -wide support for the development of a plan. During these neighborhood meetings, residents and local merchants wanted to develop incentives that encouraged economic development throughout the plan area. The Steering Committee met one evening and toured some of the local businesses and held their meeting at the businesses. As a result of these incentives, the Steering Committee and local merchants have proposed a small business corridor along 12t' Street. The committee feels that 12" Street has the potential to become a viable small business corridor. Properties along 121" Street are currently zoned R4, R5, 03, or C3. 12"' Street and Woodrow Street are shown as Minor Arterial on the Master Street Plan.
