There is a park facility (War Memorial Park) located to the

CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN:
The Capitol View/Stifft's Station Neighborhood Action Plan
contains two goals relevant to these requested changes. The
first goal concerns community preservation goal which
indicates the desire to involve all segments of the
neighborhood in identifying, protecting and enhancing key
structures and places. The second goal, private investment
goal is to promote private investment in the neighborhood.
Action statements which will assist in the development of
these goals are to review the future land use plan to
identify possible areas for changes and to amend the future
land use plan to reflect public institutional uses in the
area and to reduce the intensity of uses allowed on the
eastern edge of the neighborhood. Also action statements
to support the change are working with UAMS to stabilize the
western edge of the neighborhood, requesting UAMS allow the
neighborhood to be involved in future campus plans, working
with UAMS to stabilize the western edge of the neighborhood
and continued communication by UAMS and the neighborhood on
acquisition and development plans.

ANALYSIS:
FILE NO.: LU00-09-03
The area is currently developed as UAMS facilities and/or
under UAMS's ownership (9 lots of the 123 lots are currently
not owned by UAMS). The change would recognize existing
ownership patterns and development in the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
After reviewing the comments received from property owners
who had not ""sold" to UAMS (and comments received from the
Med Center), staff has determined the change from
Neighborhood Commercial and Mixed Use to Public
Institutional would hinder development potential for area
property owners. Staff supports the withdrawal request.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(AUGUST 17, 2000)
The item was placed on the Consent Agenda for withdrawal.
The vote was 8 ayes, o noes and 3 absent.
