This committee is made up of approximately 40 property owners, business owners and developers. Early in the year 2000 the Planning Commission had a rezoning request before them along the Asher Corridor. The Planning Commission asked the Asher Corridor Committee to make a recommendation on the rezoning request and also asked if the committee could review the land use plan and the zoning classifications along Asher. The Asher Corridor Committee's goals were to recognize existing uses and to confine Industrial uses to the south side of Asher whenever possible. The Asher Corridor Committee developed a set of Land Use Plan changes that more accurately reflected the existing land uses and their goals. The changes were scattered along Asher Avenue between University and the Asher/Roosevelt split. In August 2000 the Planning Commission approved these changes, and the Board of Directors approved them in October 2000. In November 2000 the Asher Corridor Committee reviewed the zoning patterns along Asher. Staff identified property owners in the Asher Avenue area using Pulaski County Assessor records. One hundred and seventy-four potential rezoning letters were sent to property owners by certified mail explaining the Zoning changes and requesting a response if they were interested in rezoning their property. Included in this certified mailing was a business reply envelope for the property owner to return a response. Staff received the following requests from the property owners to rezone their properties: FILE NO.: Z-6966, Z-6967, Z-6968 6966-1 location: southwest corner of Asher and Taylor land use
