Z-9669: R-2 to C-3 19300 Lawson Road
Planning Division: The request is in the West Fourche Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for the requested area. The Residential Low
(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. The application is to rezone from Single
Family District (R-2) to General Commercial District (C-3) allowing for the future
development of this land for commercial use. There is an accompanying application to
amend the Land Use Plan Map to Commercial (C).
Surrounding the application area, the L and Use Plan Map shows Commercial (C) to the
east and across Marsh Road to the east of the site following the north side of Lawson
Road and Mixed Commercial and Industrial (MCI) following the south side. The
Commercial (C) category provides for 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 Mixed Commercial and Industrial (MCI) category provides for a mixture of
commercial and industrial uses to occur. Acceptable uses are commercial or mixed
commercial and industrial.
Residential Low Density (RL) is shown to the west and north of the site. Across Lawson
Road to the south is outside of the City Planning Jurisdiction; therefore, there is no land
use plan designations or zoning for this land. Within this land, one tract directly across
the street to the south is a petrol station. The other is a single-family residence.
To the north of the application area, the land is zoned Single Family District (R-2) that has
a single-family dwelling. The Single Family District (R-2) provides for conventional single-
family development with a minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet. This district is the default
zoning used by the City of Little Rock for un -zoned areas. To the east the land is zoned
General Commercial District (C-3) and is wooded and undeveloped. The General
Commercial District provides for development of a broad range of general sales and
service uses. To the west the land is zoned Planned Commercial Development (PD -C).
This PD-C was approved for a sod farm and to allow auto repair on the land.
This land is currently zoned Single Family District (R-2) and has an existing developed
single-family structure and an accessory structure on the land.
Master Street Plan: To the south is Lawson Road and it is a Minor Arterial 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
Lawson Road since it is a Minor Arterial. This street 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 Lawson Road. A Bike Lane
provides a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
Historic Preservation Plan: There are no existing historic sites on or adjacent to this land.

(RIH) category accommodates residential development of more than twelve (12) dwelling
units per acre. This tract directly south is currently zoned Multi-Family District (MF-6) and
is a development of condos. The multifamily districts are established to provide suitable
areas for medium-density residential development.
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. The tract southwest of the application area
that shows Public/Institutional (PI) is currently zoned R-2 with a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). A church has been approved for the site. The Arkansas Highway 10 and a large
rock retaining wall service as a significant visual divide between the applicant area and
the uses to the south. The application site is zoned Single Family District (R -2) and is an
existing single-family dwelling.
Master Street Plan: To the south of the site is Cantrell Road/Highway 10 and it is a
