The proposal is to utilize the property for a truck sales and service facility which requires an "I-2" classification. The site is along a portion of I-30 that has a number of different types of land uses with a similar zoning pattern. This tract abuts "R-2," "C-3," "C-4" and "I-2" properties and various land uses. The immediate area is made up of auto dealerships, some retail use and a large trucking facility that is directly to the east. Along I-30 at other locations, the zoning mix is "C-3," "C-4" and "I-2" is common and appears to be the trend for properties with I-30 frontage, especially in southwest Little Rock. The proposed use is compatible with the immediate area and its impacts, if any, should be minimal. 2. The site is a long narrow track with two structures on it. From the frontage road to the rear of the property is over 700'. 3. There are no right-of-way requirements or Master Street Plan issues associated with this request. October 30, 1984 Item No. 13 - Continued 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this time. 5. There are no legal issues. 6. The property was part of the I-30 annexation that occurred in 1979. There is no documented neighborhood position on the site. 7. The Suburban Development Plan identifies the area for stripped development which is normally associated with the "C-4" zoning district. Areas along I-30 with this land use designation tend to be more of a mix of commercial and light industrial uses with "C-3," "C-4" and "I-2" being the recommended classifications. Because of the existing land use pattern in the area, staff feels the rezoning is appropriate for the location and supports the request. Along I-30 where there this mix of zoning districts has taken place, no major problems or concerns have developed. The remaining "R-2" tracts in the immediate vicinity will probably be reclassified to either "C-4" or "I-2." STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the application as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. After discussing the case briefly, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the application as filed. The vote - 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
