Hathaway, Jr. Location: Rock Creek Parkway, 1/4 Mile East of Kanis Request: Rezone from Unclassified to "MF -18" and "O-3" Purpose• Multifamily and Office Development Size: 40.28 acres + Existing Use: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Unclassified South - Vacant, Office/Industrial, Unclassified East - Multifamily, Zoned "PRD" West - Church, Unclassified STAFF REPORT: The request is to rezone a 40 -acre tract at the west end of the Rock Creek Parkway to "MF -18" and "0-3." The acreage breakdown is as follows: 110-3," 11.96 acres and "MF -18," 28.32 acres. No specific plans or development concepts have been provided. The property is currently unclassified because of 'being outside the City limits. This property is part of the Suburban Development Plan which currently recognizes the land for single family use only. . Based on the current plan, staff cannot support the rezoning as proposed. The plan shows multifamily for the land to the east, classified "PRD," and further to the west, there is an area shown for commercial and some low to medium density residential development. This location would be the intersection of Kanis and the proposed Outer Belt West arterial. If the property is annexed into the City, it appears that a "PUD" would be more appropriate for the site because of its location and the existing "PRD" to the east. As has been stated earlier, the property is outside the City limits. An issue that will have to be resolved prior to•the .r June 25, 1985 Item No. 12 - Continued rezoning being accomplished is whether the City limits will be extended beyond the current line. This line was established as the "official annexation boundary line" by a Board of Directors resolution. One final item is that this area will be included in the new planning effort that the City will undertake for west Little Rock. Both land use and future City limits will be addressed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the 110-3" and "MF -18" as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Jim Hathaway, the applicant was present. There were no objectors in attendance. Mr. Hathaway spoke and presented an aerial photo of the area which he described in detail. There was a long discussion about land use and the street system. Mr. Hathaway said the "MF -18" density for the property was chosen because of various physical constraints• such as utility easements. He indicated that no formal study or plan had been prepared for the site. Jim Lawson of the Planning staff then spoke. He discussed current plans for the area. He said that a "PUD" was more appropriate for the site because of the location. He also made reference to the City limits line and the Board of Directors' resolution regarding future City boundaries. Mr. Hathaway said that "MF -18" was a good density and that there would probably be office development in the future. Mike Batie of City Engineering said the proposed collector through the property was good. Mr. Lawson described the proposed "west belt" intersection with K anis and said that "MF -12" and "0-2" would be another possible zoning configuration for the land. There were additional comments made about development in the area and annexation of the property. The Planning Commission voted on the request as filed. The vote - 4 ayes, 0 noes, 5 absent and 2 abstentions (Jerilyn Nicholson and Jim Summerlin). The item was deferred due to the lack of six affirmative or negative votes.

There were no objectors in attendance. The staff presented commentary on the land use review performed during the past two months. It was pointed out that of the several plan options that were available the one chosen is compatible with the applicant's request. The area of this application is located such that it provides a gradual increase in use intensity between the low density apartments on the east and the planned commercial corner to the west.
