PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
FILE NO.: Z-6798
All owners of property within 200 feet of the site, all
residents within 300 feet and the Birchwood Neighborhood
Association were notified of the rezoning request.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The property lies within the I-430 Planning District. The
adopted Land Use Plan recommends Mixed Office and Commercial
for this site and the abutting properties, extending south
to Kanis Road. This 0-3 General Office rezoning request
conforms to the adopted Plan. The property is within an
area not covered by an existing or proposed Neighborhood
Action Plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this .55±
acre tract from "R-2" Single Family to 110-3" General Office.
The property currently contains an older, site -built, single
family home and a small mobile home. No specific
development plan has been proposed. The applicant/future
owner is Central Arkansas Land Development, LLC who built
and is located in the new office building adjacent to the
north of this site.
The property is located in an area of diverse uses and
zoning, although those properties closest to the site are
occupied almost exclusively by office and institutional
uses. A small office building and a multi -story medical
office building are located on the 0-3 zoned properties to
the north. The 0-3 zoned property to the south is occupied
by an office use which fronts onto Kanis Road. The
undeveloped property to the rear (west) of the site is the
rear yard of property which fronts onto Kanis Road.
Kidsport Fitness Center and Pinnacle Point Hospital are
located on the POD and C-3 zoned properties across Autumn
Road to the east. A nonconforming office use is located on
the R-2 zoned property to the southeast, also across Autumn
Road. Staff believes the requested 0-3 zoning is compatible
with uses and zoning in the area.
