BACKGROUND:
The proposed area comes out of the Stephens Area Neighborhood Action
Plan. It is the intent of the Steering Committee to recognize and
preserve any sector of employment within the study area.
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.
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, the Steering Committee came to a
conclusion that the community is not only made up of general retail
services, but also businesses that may require light industrial
uses. Therefore, in order to permit these various uses such as
woodwork shop, furniture repair store, financial institution, or
photography studio, it must dedicate potential sites for these uses.
Many of these uses may require deliveries and being located near
Asher Avenue would allow easier access.
The Steering Committee has proposed a classification of Mixed
Commercial and Industrial (MCI) for the property in question. It
wants to establish a diversity in uses that would incorporate
commercial and industrial to provide a modern, efficient, and well-
designed industrial facilities within a "park -like" setting. The
proposed property is in a appropriate location and provides
sufficient space to meet the needs of the neighborhood.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were 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 were all notified through the
Steering Committee.
All five of these neighborhood associations are very active in the
Stephens Area Neighborhood Action Plan and are in support of the
change. Staff has received one letter in opposition.
