North - Single -Family, zoned R-2
South - Commercial, zoned R-2
East - Single -Family, zoned R-2
West - Church, zoned R-2
STAFF ANALYSIS
The property at 8801 Doyle Springs is occupied by
mini -storage units, a nonconforming use. The owner would
like to do away with the nonconforming status because he is
thinking of selling the business, and the future owner will
probably construct some additional units. increasing the
number of structures or expanding the use is prohibited by
the zoning ordinance because of the nonconformity. The
land must first be rezoned to an appropriate district and,
in this case, a Conditional Use Permit will be needed
should the C-3 be granted for the property in question.
"Mini -warehouse" is listed as a conditional use in the C--3
district.
There are a total of five structures on the property and
three of the buildings contain storage units. The property
has 205 feet of frontage on Doyle Springs Road and a depth
of 261 feet.
Because of the area being annexed to the City, most of the
properties are still zoned R-2. Within the last several
years, some commercial rezoning$ have occurred to the west,
and Arkansas Electric Cooperative reclassified their large
holding to 0-3 and I-2 in 1990. The land use is typical

nonresidential uses. 8801 Doyle Springs abuts a commercial
use on the south and single family residences on the east
and north. There are a number of nonconforming uses found
in the area, especially on Baseline Road. There are also
some vacant parcels.
The Geyer Springs East District Plan shows the recommended
commercial line along the north and east property boundaries
of the site under consideration. Therefore, a C-3
reclassification is a viable option for the location and
conforms to the established commercial zoning in the area.
(A mini -warehouse business on Baseline Road, one block to
the west, is in the process of being rezoned to C-3 by the
Board of Directors.) For this segment of Baseline and the
areas identified for commercial use on the plan, the City
has determined that C-3 is the appropriate level of
commercial zoning.
