Walter,
nm 1l
The owners of 1300, 1320, and 1400 Brookwood Drive are strongly opposed to the land use
change from Industrial to Service Trades District. We do not want anything to do with a land
use category requiring a zoning amendment to a Planned Zoning District.
Some 15+ years ago, I developed a comparable property under a Planned Development district.
The pain to comply throughout development and thereafter after completion has deterred me
from undertaking addtional developments in Little Rock.
Please consider our opposition and leave the Industrial zoning in place. We see no positives in a
change to Service Trades and the negatives are too onerous.
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: Medium density
As the letters mentioned your property is zoned R-4, two -unit residential. This will not change and this is
what controls how you may develop your property. You may by zoning have one or two -units on the lot.
Most of the existing structures are duplexes.
The future Land Use Plan does not matter if you are okay with the current zoning and use. If however
you want to change the zoning of your property the Land Use Plan is something the City uses to help
decide if you should be granted your request to rezone the property. Residential Medium Density allows
for zoning classifications up to 12 units per acre. This is consistent with your current zoning and use.
Residential High Density says uses at high density more like apartments is appropriate for zoning. We
are saying with this change that the current zoning is as dense as the area should be zoned and used.
So unless you wish to redevelop your property to a high density residential that would require a re -zoning
of your land, then you should be okay with the proposed change.
If you have additional questions please let me know.

Subject: Medium density
Walter,
I'm receiving letters that my property is switching to a Residential Medium Density zone. This is the
third letter concerning the change and not sure what this means to the future of my property. Can
you list the pro and cons on having property in a Medium vs. High density zone?
Thanks,
John Zahnen
