PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
The site is not located on a CATA Bus Route.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site, all
residents within 300 feet who could be identified and the John
Barrow and Sandpiper Neighborhood Associations were notified of
the proposed rezoning.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site lies within the I-430 Planning District. The adopted
Land Use Plan recommends CS Community Shopping for this site and
the surrounding area bounded by Shackleford, Kanis, Centerview
and a line north of the buildings that front onto Executive
Center Drive. Several properties within this overall CS area
have been developed as offices. CS is more appropriate for
larger scale, shopping center developments, not small tracts
such as the subject property. The requested C-3 zoning is
compatible with uses and zonings in this immediate area west of
Shackleford Road. Staff does not believe a plan amendment is
necessary.
The property now lies within the larger area covered by the
updated John Barrow Neighborhood Action Plan. The property does
not lie within the area covered by the original action plan
which was adopted on June 18, 1996. As a component of their
Plan update, the members of the steering committee are
considering expanding the boundary of the plan from I-430 west
to Bowman Road. Work on the updated action plan has been put on
hold for several months because many of the committee members
have been involved in work on Vision Little Rock.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this undeveloped,
wooded, 1.12± acre tract from "C-2" Shopping Center district to
"C-3" General Commercial. No immediate development has been
proposed for the site.

The tract lies on the south side of Kanis Road, one lot west of
Shackleford Road. A convenience store with gas pumps and a car
wash is located on the PCD zoned property adjacent to the east.
A hotel and a large, furniture store are located in the C-3
zoned area north of the site, across Kanis Road. The
undeveloped, C-2 zoned properties west and south of the site are
heavily wooded. The 0-3 zoned properties across Kanis Road to
the northwest contain single family homes. Other uses in the
immediate area around the intersection of Kanis and Shackleford
include the Farm Bureau office campus, a restaurant, a church,
numerous office buildings and a new hotel which is under
construction. The proposed C-3 zoning is compatible with uses
and zoning in the area.
The I-430 District Land Use Plan recommends CS for this site and
the larger area immediately south of Kanis, west of Shackleford.
CS is a more appropriate designation for areas to be developed
as a large scale, multiuse development. This larger CS
designated area is developing with a mixture of office and
commercial uses. The applicant's requested C-3 zoning continues
this pattern. Staff believes the C-3 zoning for this 1.12± acre
tract meets the intent of the Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the C-3 zoning request, as filed.
