D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
This request is located in the 1-430 Planning District. The Land Use Plan
shows Suburban Office for this property. The applicant has applied for
0-3 General Office for a small office park.
This area is a small portion of a large `office park'. The request does not
require a change to the Land Use Plan.
City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan:
The property under review is not located in an area covered by a City of
Little Rock recognized neighborhood action plan.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Westrock Partnership, owner of Lot 1, Westrock Office Addition, is
requesting to rezone a portion of the lot from "O-1" Quiet Office District to
"O-3" General Office District. The rezoning is proposed for future office
development of the property.
Lot 1, Westrock Office Addition is a total of 8.127 acres in area. The south
200 feet of the lot (2.948 acres) is zoned "OS" Open Space. The applicant
is proposing to rezone only the north 5.179 acres of the lot from 0-1 to
0-3. No change is proposed for the OS zoned portion.
The property is currently undeveloped. There are existing office uses and
undeveloped office property to the north, east and west. There are single
family residences to the south, south of the OS zoned area.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Suburban
Office. The proposed 0-3 zoning does not require a change to the Land
Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested 0-3 zoning. The property is located
along the southern perimeter of a very large area of office zoning, south of
Kanis Road and west of Shackleford Road. The majority of this area is
zoned 0-3. Staff feels that 0-3 zoning for the north 5.179 acres of Lot 1,
Westrock Office Addition will not be out of character with the overall area.
With the 200 foot strip of OS zoning within the south portion of the lot, the
proposed 0-3 zoning should have no adverse impact on the residential
property to the south, or the other surrounding properties.
