PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
FILE NO.: Z-6811
All owners of property within 200 feet of the site and the
Johnson Ranch and Aberdeen Court Neighborhood Associations
were notified of the rezoning. There are no residences
within 300 feet of the site.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is located in the Pinnacle Planning District. The
Land Use Plan was amended on November 16, 1999 (Ordinance
No. 18,138) to Office for this site. The amendment was
instituted by the applicant as the required prerequisite to
this rezoning. The 0-3 request conforms to the recently
amended Land Use Plan. The property is not within an area
covered by a neighborhood action plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 8.64±
acre tract from "R-2" Single Family to "0-3" General Office
District. The property is currently occupied by an older,
single-family residence and several outbuilding. The
structures are located on the southern half of the property.
The northern half is currently wooded. No specific
development is proposed for the site at this time.
The property is located on the west side of Patrick Country
Road, approximately 1,100 feet north of Cantrell Road (Ark.
Hwy. 10). The surrounding area is rural in nature,
characterized primarily by large tracts of undeveloped land.
The R-2 zoned property to the south is occupied by a church.
The portion of the church property nearest the applicant's
tract is currently wooded and undeveloped. A conditional
use permit has been approved showing future phases of the
church being built in this area. Across Patrick Country
Road to the east is "The Ranch", a mixed use development.
The MF -18, R-2 and 0-2 properties east of Patrick Country
Road are undeveloped and mostly wooded. "The Ranch" is

being developed by this applicant. The R-2 and 0-3 zoned
properties to the north and west of this site are wooded and
undeveloped. These 100± acres to the north and west are
also owned by the applicant.
On November 16, 1999 the Pinnacle District Land Use Plan was
amended to Office for this site. This 0-3 General Office
rezoning request is the appropriate follow-up action to that
plan amendment.

uses and zoning in the area and conforms to the recently
amended Land Use Plan.
