BACKGROUND
This land use plan amendment originated with the rezoning
application for the Westside Junior High School rezoning to
PRD (Planned Residential Development). The Land Use Plan
amendment was from Public Institutional to Multi -Family.
Staff considered the following items when reviewing the
expanded application: The Children's Hospital Master plan of
October 1999, the current property ownership in the area, the
existing uses in the area, and the last time the Land use plan
was reviewed in the area (late 1980's). After researching the
previous items, staff recommended expanding the application to
the following area:
Area 1: This proposed change is located in the 1600 block of
Daisy Gatson Bates Drive on the north side of the street. This
property is shown as Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Plan
while the proposed change is to Public Institutional. This
property is mostly owned by the Arkansas Children's Hospital
and is shown on their Master Plan as open space.
Area 2: This proposed change is located in the 1300 block of
Marshall Street and is the Westside Junior High School. This is
the original application and is currently shown as Public
Institutional on the Future Land Use Plan. The proposed
change is to Multi Family.
Area 3: This proposed change is located in the 1100 block of
Battery Street on the east side of the street. This block is shown
as Mixed Office Commercial on the Future Land Use Plan and
the proposed change is to Public Institutional. This property is
owned by the Arkansas Children's Hospital, currently used as a
parking lot and is shown on their Master Plan as parking and
research offices.
Area 4: This proposed change is located in the 1000 block of
Battery Street on the east side of the street. This land is shown
as Mixed Office Commercial on the Future Land Use Plan
while the proposed change is to Multi -Family. This property is
owned by the Little Rock Housing Authority and is the site of
the Jesse Powell Towers, a high-rise residential development.
Area 5: The Proposed change is for the entire block bounded by
Maryland, Summit, I-630, and Schiller Streets; the western half
of the block bounded by 9th, Summit, 10th, and Schiller
Streets; the entire block bounded by 10th, Summit, 11th, and
Schiller Streets; the entire block bounded by 11th, Summit,
12th, and Schiller Streets; the northeast quarter of the block
bounded by 12th, Summit, 13th, and Schiller Streets be
amended to Public Institutional. This area is shown as Single
Family and Mixed Office Commercial on the Future Land Use
Plan. The proposed change is to Public Institutional. All
property in this area is owned by the Children's hospital with
the exception of the Half block owned by Maurice Parker at
900-918 South Summit. The hospital's master plan shows
offices and parking to the north and residential buffering to the
south.
Originally, the eastern half of the block bounded by 9th,
Summit, 10th, and Schiller Streets that is owned by Mr. Parker
was included in the amendment. Upon his request to be
removed from the application, he was removed. His property is
shown on the hospital's master plan as offices and parking.
Area 6: This area is located on the east side of Marshall Street
from I-630 to W. 10t' Street and on the north side of W. I 01
Street from Marshall Street to the northeast corner of W. 10th
Street and Bishop Street. These properties are shown as Mixed
Office Commercial on the Future Land Use plan and the
proposed change is to Public Institutional. Children's Hospital
and Immanuel Baptist church and is used mostly for parking.
