PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
FILE NO.: Z-6646
The East End Civic League and Hanger Hill Neighborhood
Associations, all owners of property within 200 feet and all
residents within 300 feet were notified of the rezoning
request.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is located in the I-30 Planning District. The plan
recommends Industrial for this property and adjacent
properties to the east and west. The I-2 zoning request
conforms to the adopted Plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .41±
acre tract from R-3 Single Family to I-2 Light Industrial.
The property is currently occupied by a vacant, boarded,
single-family structure. There are no immediate plans for
development of the lot, although it is owned by the same
individual who owns the two I-2 zoned lots adjacent to the
west. These adjacent I-2 zoned lots are occupied by
Electric Motor Service Company.
The property is located within the large, East Little Rock
Industrial district. With the exception of properties
directly to the south, there are no residential properties
in the area. Surrounding zoning and uses range from one 0-3
zoned lot to the east to large wholesaling and manufacturing
businesses on properties which are zoned I-2 and I-3
Industrial. I-3 is the predominant zoning in the area with
substantial areas of I-2 extending to the west and
southeast. A small, R-3 zoned residential neighborhood is
located south of this site. East 16th Street is the
dividing line between the industrial zoning and the
residential neighborhood. A new office/warehouse Planned
Development was recently approved on property on the east
side of Boyce Street, to the east of this site. The
