Residential Low Density represents single-family houses, including patio and cluster homes at a density of no more than 6 units per acre. Suburban Office represents low intensity development of office or office parks in close proximity to lower density residential. Public Institutional represents public and quasi -public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community. Mixed Use represents a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur. Light Industrial represents like warehouse, distribution or storage uses or industrial in a `park -like' setting. The application is requested to modify the City Land Use Plan to be more consistent with the recently developed and accepted University District Revitalization Plan. MASTER STREET PLAN: University Avenue and Asher Avenue -Colonel Glenn Road are Principal Arterials on the Master Street Plan. 12th Street, Fair Park Boulevard and 36th Street are Minor Arterials on the Master Street Plan. Cleveland, Boyle Park Road, 19th Street, 28th Street, 29th Street, 32nd Street and Bryant Street are Collectors. The primary function of a Principal Arterial is to move vehicles and goods through and within the area —long distances. The primary function of a Minor Arterial is to move vehicles and goods within the area — short distances. The primary function of a Collector is to move vehicles and goods from local streets to the arterial network. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to sites. August 26, 2010 ITEM NO.: 10 (Cont. BICYCLE PLAN: FILE NO.: LU10-09-02 There are Class I Bike routes shown along Rock Creek through Boyle Park to Mabelvale Pike and along the north branch of Fourche Creek from Mabelvale Pike east and along Coleman Creek through the UALR campus. 28th Street from University to Fair Park Boulevard and 29th Street from Fair Park Boulevard east are shown as Class II Bike Routes. Class II Bike routes are shown on 12th Street and Fair Park Boulevard through the amendment area as well as the Boyle Park Road from Boyle Park to University Avenue and 32nd Street through the UALR campus. A Class I route is a separate right-of-way and pavement for the use of bicycles. A Class II route is within the street right-of-way and provides a minimum four -foot lane for the sole use of bicycles. A Class III route is within the street right-of-way and the bicycles and motor vehicles share the travel lane. According to the Master Parks Plan, this entire area is within eight -blocks of a park or open space. Boyle Park, First Tee (Stephens Youth Golf), University, Oak Forest and Curran Conway Park are within the area. There are also several elementary and middle schools in the area with play -ground facilities. HISTORIC DISTRICTS: There is no city recognized historic district within the area of the amendments. ANALYSIS: At the May 28, 2009 meeting of the Little Rock Planning Commission the University District Partnership Revitalization Plan was presented. The Commission unanimous approved a resolution of support at that meeting. The University District Partnership Steering Committee had worked for over a year with residents, property owners, interested groups and a consultant team to develop the revitalization plan. As part of the document produced with this effort and presented to the Commission in May of 2009, there was included recommendations for the future development of the study area. The future land use plan recommendation in the University District Revitalization Plan is slightly different in a few areas from the City of Little Rock Future Land Use Plan. Staff reviewed the differences between the two documents in the fall of 2009. A map illustrating the areas of difference was created. Staff and representatives of the University District met to discuss the differences and a 'package' of land use changes was developed in January 2010. 2 August 26, 2010 ITEM NO.: 10 (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU10-09-02 Ownership of the tracts where changes were suggested was identified and the owners were notified in mid-June of a meeting June 29, 2010 to review the amendment package. Just fewer than 100 notices were mailed for this meeting. There were approximately a dozen phone contacts and a few emails. All these contacts were informational except for one property owner who felt the southwest corner of University Avenue and Colonel Glenn Road should have the same designation as the other corners of that intersection. At the meeting on June 29th, approximately half-dozen individuals attended. All the comments and questions were informational, though one owner who is zoned 1-3 Heavy Industrial implied they would prefer remaining Industrial. Staff and representatives of the University Partnership met in early July to discuss the comments received and agreed to a final package of changes to present to the Little Rock Planning Commission. A letter was sent to ninety property owners notifying them of this hearing and that their property was part of the package of changes. Staff believes the changes are generally minor in nature with many allowing the property owners additional future use options. From the meeting and contacts there does not appear to be any opposition to the 'package' of changes. To more easily understand the changes they will be reviewed by seven areas. Starting with the area in the northwest — Cleveland and 12th Streets. There are two changes proposed. The amending Public Institutional to Suburban Office for the area east of Cleveland between 12th Street and Northmoor Drive. This is an office building and parking lot, zoned 0-3 General Office. The other change is from Suburban Office to Residential Low Density along Charlotte Drive south of Northmoor Drive. This land is zoned 0-3 General Office but has two residential developments of duplexes and some vacant land. Theses changes reflect the current and likely future uses of the land. The next area is along the east side of University Avenue from Look to past 16th Street. The Land Use Plan shows Park/Open Space for the Coleman Creek drainage shed. However, the area is zoned C-3 General Commercial and has commercial and office buildings located on it. The change would be from Park/Open Space to Commercial. This change reflects the current and likely future use of the land. The City block bounded by 29th and 30th Streets, between Harrison and Tyler is shown for Public Institutional Use. The proposed change is to Residential Low Density. The current zoning is R-3 Single -Family and there are single-family homes on the lots. Since the City normally does not show areas for Public Institutional use until the use is either approved via zoning or built, this area would not normally be shown for Public Institutional use. The next area proposed for a change is along the south side of 32nd Street between Irving and Monica Drives. The change would be from Residential Low Density to Public 3 August 26, 2010 [TEM NO.: 10(Cont.)FILE NO.: LU10-09-02 Institutional. There is a Methodist Church on this land, thus the current and future likely use of the land is as a church — Public Institutional. A large area from 36th Street to University Avenue along both sides of Colonel Glenn Road is proposed to change from Commercial to Mixed Use. Most of this land is currently zoned C-3 General Commercial, with one tract of C-4 Open Display Commercial on the north side and three larger areas of C-4 along the south side. Most of the uses are retail commercial in nature, however there is a church and some office uses as well. The University District Revitalization Plan recommends this area for Mixed Use. This is to encourage some residential and more office to locate in the area, partially to help make the over all area more densely populated to help support the areas already zoned for commercial use. Mixed Use allows commercial, office or residential use or any mix of the three uses as long as the Planned Zoning District process is used for re -classifications. Since the area is already zoned commercial (C-3 or C-4) a rezoning to a different commercial classification is not likely. A development that included a mix or is designed similar to that suggested in the University District Revitalization Plan is likely to require a Planned Zoning District. Along the north side of Asher Avenue between University Avenue and Fair Park Boulevard two areas are shown changing to Public Institutional. The first is from University Avenue to Coleman Creek and is from Commercial to Public Institutional. This is a commercial center and out parcels. UALR currently owns over 95 percent of this land and has converted some of the center to University uses. The area is currently zoned C-3 General Commercial. The second area is along the west side of Fair Park Boulevard north of Asher Avenue. It is currently zoned 1-2 Light Industrial and shown on the Plan for Industrial use. UALR has purchased this land and removed the previous uses. The Campus Plan for UALR shows both these areas as part of the campus for UALR. The final areas are south of Asher Avenue either side of Mabelvale Pike. There is a small area southwest of 33rd Street and Polk currently zoned 1-2 Light Industrial and used as a warehouse distribution. The change would be from Industrial to Light Industrial for this two -block plus area on the Land Use Plan. A larger area east of Mabelvale Pike south of Asher Avenue shown for Industrial is also proposed for Light Industrial on the Land Use Plan. This area is zoned 1-2 Light Industrial and has several warehouse distribution and trucking uses as well as small vehicle repair uses. The current and likely future use of these areas is Light Industrial.
