Vee -Esther Armstead
Denise Armstead
7603 Jamis-on Road
Rezone from "R-2" to "C-3"
Private club
3.9 acres
Vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Vacant and single family, Zoned "R-2"
South - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
East - Vacant, Zoned "R-2"
West - Office and industrial, Zoned "1-2"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request is to rezone the site from "R-2" to "C-3" for a
private club. The property is located south of 1-30 and in
an area that is either zoned "R-2" or 111-2." Predominate
land uses in the area are office, light industrial, and the
City of Little Rock's Maintenance facility. There is a
single family residence on the property directly to the
north and some of the land is vacant. To the south on
Jamison Road, there is a small single family pocket, but it
is somewhat removed from the property in question and will
not be impacted by the "C-3" rezoning.
Even though the apparent direction of the area is light
industrial because of the existing zoning and land use, a
"C-3" reclassification should not have any effect on the
area or future development patterns. Staff feels that a
11C-3" rezoning is a reasonable option for the property and
supports the request. The Geyer Springs East District Plan
shows the general vicinity for industrial uses and, in the
past, the City has usually supported a mix "C-3," 11C-4," and
111-2" for similar areas. There appears to be some floodway
involvement in the rear of the property so this area will
have to be zoned "OS" and dedicated to the City.
Engineering will have to confirm the floodway area and
determine the exact amount of dedication.

Item No. 2 - 2-5039 (Continued.)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of "C-3" and "OS" for the
established floodway.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (August 9, 1988)
The applicant, Denise Armstead, was present. There were no
objectors. Staff reported that the City's Engineering
Office estimated that the floodway was the eastern 860-880
feet of the site. Ms. Armstead addressed the Commission and
said that she had problems with the floodway, specifically
the size and having to dedicate so much land area. Jerry
Gardner of the City's Engineering Staff discussed the
floodway and said it could not be filled and that it had to
be left in its natural state; no construction of any type
was allowed in the floodway. Various individuals made
additional comments about the floodway and required
dedication. Ms. Armstead told the Commission that she would
like to use some of the floodway area for the proposed
development. A motion was made to recommend approval of
11C-3" and OS for the established floodway subject to
dedication of the floodway area to the City. The motion was
approved by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes and 5 absent.
