West - Vacant and mobile home park, the City of

STAFF ANALYSIS
The request is to rezone approximately one acre in far
southwest corner of the city from C-3 to R-2. The site is
adjacent to Alexander Road and abuts the City of Alexander
along the north property line. At this time, the land is
vacant, but is being cleared for a single family
development. (A residential plat is in the process of being
reviewed by the Planning Commission, which includes acreage
in both Little Rock and the City of Alexander.)
Zoning in the area (for properties in Little Rock) is R-2
and R -7A. There is no zoning in the City of Alexander.
Land use is more mixed than the zoning and includes single
family, mobile home park, churches and several small scale
commercial uses. Currently, all the nonresidential uses are
found in Alexander.
In 1981, the property in question was rezoned to C-3. The
request also included land to the north that was rezoned to
I-2. Since the initial rezoning in 1981, the I-2 area has
been reclassified to R -7A. The application involved a total
of ten acres in Little Rock with the balance of the
ownership in the City of Alexander.

ITEM NO.: 1 Z -3572-A Cont.
Rezoning the site to R-2 conforms to Otter Creek District
Plan and is the appropriate action to take at this time. The
site does not lend itself to a quality C-3 development, and
the parcel should have never been rezoned to a commercial
district in the first place. The reclassification will not
have an adverse impact on any of the surrounding properties.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Alexander Road is classified as a minor arterial. The
existing right-of-way is deficient and dedication of
additional right-of-way will be required. The right-of-way
standard for a minor arterial is 45 feet from the centerline.
