Planning Division:
The request is in the West Little Rock Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows
Office (O) for the requested area. The Office category represents services
provided directly to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, medical) as well as general
offices which support more basic economic activities. The application is to change
the property from O-3 (General Office District) to PCD (Planned Commercial
Development) District to allow for use of the property for the sales of medical
equipment and C-3 uses.
Surrounding the application area, the Land Use Plan shows Office (O) to the south
and east. Public Institutional (PI) use is shown to the north across Rodney Parham
Road. To the east beyond the Office area and to the west are Commercial (C)
areas. And south of the Office is Residential Low Density (RL) and Residential
High Density (RH). The Office (O) category represents services provided directly
to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, medical). Much of this area is development
with small professional office uses. The Public Institutional (PI) category includes
public and quasi-public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community
such as schools, libraries, fire stations, churches, utility substations, and hospitals.
This area, across Rodney Parham Road, is an Elementary School, Post Office and
an extension office. Commercial (C) category includes a broad range of retail and
wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and general
business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the
trade area that they serve. The Commercial area to the east is a retail center with
a mix of uses while the area to the west is several small commercial uses then a
larger grocery and restaurant. The Residential Low Density (RL) category
provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per
acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by conventional
single family homes, but may also include patio or garden homes and cluster
homes, provided that the density remain less than 6 units per acre. This area is an
existing single-family subdivision with homes. The Residential High Density (RH)
category accommodates residential development of more than twelve (12)
dwelling units per acre. The area is an apartment complex.

Master Street Plan:
To the north is Rodney Parham Road and it is a Minor Arterial on the Master Street
Plan. To the west is Sunnydale Drive which is a Local Street on the Master Street
Plan. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and
their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area.
Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and
pedestrians on Rodney Parham Road since it is a Minor Arterial. The primary
function of Local Streets is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets
that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than
duplexes are considered as “Commercial Streets”. These streets may require
dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and
exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class II Bike Route shown on Rodney Parham Road. A
Bike Lane provides a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
