STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this
undeveloped 23.8± acre tract from R-2 Single Family to R-7
Mobile Home Park District. The property is part of a
larger, 41± acre total, site which is proposed for
development as a 125 lot mobile home park. The western 18±
acres of the development are located in the City of
Alexander. A site plan review for development of the mobile
home park is item no. 14 on this agenda, S-1243, Alexander
LLC Mobile Home Park Subdivision Site Plan Review. Access to
the property is through Alexander, off of County Line Road.
The property is located at the very southwest corner of the
City of Little Rock. The Alexander city limits abut the
site to the west. The properties adjacent to the north and
east are undeveloped. An area of floodway is located along
the northern boundary. The main line of the Missouri -

the railroad to the south. The railroad and floodway
isolate this site from other properties in the City of
Little Rock.
The Otter Creek District Land Use Plan recommends Mobile
Home (MH) for the site. The R-7 rezoning request conforms
to the adopted Land Use Plan and the Chicot West/I-30 South
Neighborhood Action Plan.
That portion of the property which lies within the
regulatory floodway will be zoned OS, Open Space. Of the
23.8± acres proposed for rezoning, approximately 7+ acres
lie in the floodway.
Staff believes the rezoning request to be appropriate. The
proposed R-7 zoning conforms to the adopted Land Use Plan
and Neighborhood Action Plan and is compatible with
surrounding uses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-7 zoning with
that portion of the site which lies within the regulatory
floodway to be zoned OS.
