FILE NO.: Z-7091
FT. NEW STREET: 0 LF
CENSUS TRACT: 22.03
On October 4, 2001 the Planning Commission approved a rezoning of this 11.67 acre
property from R-2 and 0-3 to "PRD" Planned Residential District. The PRD zoning was
approved by the Board of Directors on November 20, 2001 (Ordinance No. 18,593). The
PRD was approved to allow an independent living apartment facility including a 210,000
square foot four (4) story building with 190 parking spaces. The building was to contain 126
apartment units. The plan also included 15 independent living villas along the east portion of
the overall property. This PRD project was never developed.
September 9, 2021
ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-7091
The property owner does not wish to pursue the previously approved PRD development, and
is requesting that the PRD zoning be revoked and the property be restored to its original
R-2 and 0-3 zoning.
Approximately 10 acres of the property was previously zoned R-2 and approximately
1.67 acres was zoned 0-3 (south portion). The applicant is proposing a single family
residential preliminary plat for the property, which is a separate item on this agenda.
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site and all neighborhood associations
registered with the City of Little Rock were notified of the public hearing.
Staff is supportive of the requested PRD revocation. Staff views the request as reasonable.
The property is in an area containing a mixture of uses and zoning, with multifamily
developments to the north and west, office and multifamily zoned property to the south, and
a single family subdivision across Grassy Flat Creek to the east. Staff believes the proposed
PRD revocation and restoration of the property to its original R-2 and 0-3 zoning will have no
adverse impact on the general area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the PRD revocation request
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 9, 2021)
The applicant was present. There were no persons present registered in support or
opposition. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the
"staff recommendation" above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on
the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff, including all staff comments
and conditions. The vote was 9 ayes, 0 nays and 1 absent and 1 open position.
