Along this section of Stagecoach Road, a high percentage of
the land is still undeveloped. To the west, there are
several single family units in an area of nonresidential

Item No. 2 - Z-5191 (Continued)
Rezoning 7.7 acres out of the total ownership of 20 acres to
"1-2" is not an issue because the Otter Creek District Plan
identifies the area on the south side of Stagecoach Road for
light industrial uses. Staff feels that an "1-2"
reclassification is appropriate for the proposed land use
pattern and supports the request. The remainder of the
tract is shown to be in the floodway and identified as
floodway on the survey.
When the owner filed the application, he submitted a survey
for the total ownership of 20 acres which includes the
floodway but indicated that he only wanted the area outside
the floodway to be reviewed. Since the 20 acre tract is
under one ownership and represented on one survey, Staff is
taking the position that the entire acreage needs to be part
of the request being considered. Because of this, Staff is
recommending that the floodway area of 12.3 acres be rezoned
to "OS" and dedicated to the City which is in Keeping with
the Board of Directors' policy (Ordinance No. 15,435)
regarding floodways. The floodway cannot be developed and
some of it is shown on the Master Parks Plan as Priority Two
Open Space.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Stagecoach Road (Arkansas State Highway No. 5) is classified
as a minor arterial which has a right-of-way standard of
90 feet. The existing right-of-way of 60 feet is deficient,
so dedication of additional right-of-way will be required.
Dedication of the entire floodway through the rezoning
action.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of 111-2" for the area outside the
floodway and "OS" for the established floodway which is to
be dedicated to the City.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (July 11, 1989)
Staff informed the Commission that the item needed to be
deferred because of the notice deficiency. A motion was
made to defer the issue to the August 8, 1989 meeting. The
motion was approved by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 nays and
5 absent.
