Subject: 1 of 1,070 Print all In new window File No. Z -4816-B and LU16-03-01: Rezoning from R-2 to C-1 at 6100 and
6108 Cantrell and Land Use Plan Amendment
Dear Mr. Dana Carney:
I am one of the property owners whose house, located at 6112 Cantrell, is located directly adjacent to
the lots located at 6100 and 6108 Cantrell, which have requested to be rezoned from R-2 to C-1. I am
strongly opposed to the rezoning as well as the Land Use Plan Amendment.
Rezoning these lots has negative impacts on three levels: it affects me as a property owner, it affects
the infrastructure of the Heights, and it affects Little Rock's flow of traffic at a very highly congested
intersection.
I have made a substantial investment to my home and do not want to see the value of my property decrease. The exposure to
increased levels of noise, light, and traffic as a result of a restaurant would have a negative effect on my property value.
The traffic will be a nightmare. If the lots were to be rezoned and the restaurant built, a customer
waiting to turn left into the restaurant parking lot from University will cause vehicles to stack,
potentially into the intersection of Cantrell Road. Currently, there are no driveways to businesses
directly
If these lots are rezoned, what happens in the future for the Heights? Sure, one can design a
structure and say this is going to work. What I don't believe has been thoroughly considered is how
this structure will affect future zoning decisions within this neighborhood.
For many years the rezoning of those lots has been denied and for good reason: in order to maintain the integrity and
intimacy of the Heights neighborhood.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Lauren Ratley
