Mixed Use provides for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning Development is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a mixture of the three. The applicant wishes to build a temporary lodging, offices and social services facility. Prompted by this Land Use Amendment request, the Planning Staff expanded the area of review to include area between the Union Pacific tracks and Thayer Street and extending from the applicant's property south to 12th Street. With these changes, the entirety of the Commercial on the north side of 12th at Jones Street would be eliminated. The entire area of Park/Open Space between 10th and 11th Streets west of Thayer Street will also be eliminated. The area was expanded to 1) remove a remnant of Light Industrial that would be between Single Family and Light Industrial, 2) Recognize existing commercial zoning that was shown as Light IndustrialandIndustrial3) remove a remnant of Park/Open Space and 4) allow for a transition for the remainder of the 1100 block of Thayer.

FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS: On July 16, 1999, changes were also made from IMF to Office on the north side 7th Street two blocks north of the expanded area and from IMF to Single Family at 6th Street and Appianway Street. In addition, various changes were made from Multi -Family to Neighborhood Commercial and from Multi -Family and IMF to Mixed Use along Pine and Cedar Streets near the UAMS campus. On April 20, 1999, a change was made from Single Family to PI in the 1700 block of Pine Street five -blocks south and ten blocks west of the expanded area. Changes were made from Single Family to Mixed Use on 12th Street between Woodrow and Pine Streets, at 11th & Elm Streets, 12th and Elm Streets located twelve blocks west of the expanded area.

FILE NO.: LU99-08-10 MASTER STREET PLAN: 12th Street is shown on the Master Street Plan as a Collector Street. 10th, 11th, Jones, and Thayer Streets are shown as local streets. PARKS: Fletcher Park at I-630 and Woodrow St. is shown as a Neighborhood Park on the Park System Master Plan. CITY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN: The area under review is not covered by a city recognized neighborhood action plan. ANALYSIS: At an earlier time, industrial enterprises located along this section of the railroad tracks for the obvious transportation reasons. Other industrial buildings lie along these tracks, but no notable development has occurred in the recent past. As market forces change, this site has become less and less desirable for industrial infill, even though it is zoned I-2. Mixed Use would provide for redevelopment in an area where the conforming industrial development would likely not happen. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Community Outreach Neighborhood Organization, Capitol Hill Neighborhood Association, Central High Neighborhood Association, East of Broadway Neighborhood Association, Meadowbrook Neighborhood Association, South End Neighborhood Association, South End Neighborhood Developers, South Little Rock Community Development Association, and the Wright Avenue Neighborhood Association. Staff has received thee comments from area residents. All three comments were neutral. 3 November 11, 1999 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 12.1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: LU99-08-10 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes the change is appropriate to change to Mixed Use to provide flexibility for, and review of, future development in the area. 4 i Jo j - j j'JOJLIU 113 -6 0 FO 10 lone 3 DER am L --v Original Amendment Are IMM 130 0 NOD LJ a 0 20b .M ta 130, r 13 EP - F21 0 a 10 KD TITH quo moo CID &Ouse OCT GEI Pi oLU Plan Amendment Case # LU99-08-1 0 2514 W 11th LI, 1, C & PK/OS to MX Cr: 10 TRS: TINR12W4 o CJ Li rj� C, J 10 lone 3 DER am L --v Original Amendment Are IMM 130 0 NOD LJ a 0 20b .M ta 130, r 13 EP - F21 0 a 10 KD TITH quo moo CID &Ouse OCT GEI Pi oLU Plan Amendment Case # LU99-08-1 0 2514 W 11th LI, 1, C & PK/OS to MX 0 200 400 Feet Item# 12.1 Cr: 10 TRS: TINR12W4 PD: 8 Ward: 2 0 200 400 Feet Item# 12.1 cr: 10 TM: TINR12W4 0 200 400 Feet Vicinity Map War& 2 Item 12. 1 rl12El 43 vaLD tD FODLi Cl LJ 11TH �j RA LIZ cr: 10 TM: TINR12W4 0 200 400 Feet Vicinity Map War& 2 Item 12. 1 rl12El 43 vaLD tD cr: 10 TM: TINR12W4 0 200 400 Feet Vicinity Map War& 2 Item 12. 1 rl12El vaLD tD FODLi cr: 10 TM: TINR12W4 0 200 400 Feet Vicinity Map War& 2 Item 12. 1
