The proposal is to develop a mobile home subdivision on the tract to be rezoned and the property that is located in Alexander. The total tract is approximately 27.5 acres with 109 proposed. Thirty-five of those lots are located within Little Rock, the 8.7 acres to be rezoned. The location is suitable for the proposed development and should help provide affordable housing for the residents of Pulaski County. 2. The site is heavily wooded and relative flat. There is a slight slope with the northeast corner being the low point. 3. Alexander Road is shown as a minor arterial which requires 80 feet of right-of-way. The existing right-of-way is only 60 feet, so dedication will be required. 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this time. 5. There are no apparent legal issues associated with this request. December 13, 1983 Item No. 26 -- Continued 6. The property was rezoned from "R-2" to "I-2" in 1981. The proposed use was to be an industrial park. The plan received endorsement of the Alexander City Council because part of the tract was within the city limits of Alexander. There was some objection to the industrial reclassification from certain adjacent property owners. A preliminary plat for the subdivision has been approved. 7. The Suburban Development Plan was amended after the "I-2" rezoning to show an area for light industrial uses. The plan originally showed single family. Staff views the location as appropriate for the "R -7A" request. The City of Alexander also supports the proposal.

A motion was made to recommend approval of the application as filed. The motion was passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent. A December 13, 1983 Item No. 26 - Z -3572-A Owner: W.V.
