Shackleford Road, approximately 400 feet south of Hermitage Road), is requesting to rezone the property from "O-3" General Office District to "0-2" Office and Institutional District. The rezoning is proposed in order to develop a hotel on the property. A conditional use permit has also been filed (Item 9.1 on this agenda) for the proposed hotel development. The property is occupied by a small paved parking lot within the southeast portion of the site. There is a shared access drive (with Financial Centre III development) from S. Shackleford Road, which runs along the south property line. The general area is occupied by a mixture of office and commercial uses. Financial Centre III office development is located immediately south, with a furniture store and hotel further to the south. There is a bank and additional office developments to the north. A restaurant is located immediately west, with small scale offices along Office Park Drive. A large office development (Arkansas Farm Bureau) is located across S. Shackleford Road to the east.

FILE NO.: Z-7 Staff is not supportive of the requested 0-2 rezoning. Staff does not feel that 0-2 zoning is appropriate for this 0.7425 acre site, with 132 linear feet of street frontage along S. Shackleford Road. Section 36-280(e)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum site area of two (2) acres for 0-2 zoning, with a minimum of 200 feet of frontage on at least one (1) abutting boundary street. Additionally, the 0-2 zoning district has increased setbacks from side and rear property lines as compared to the 0-3 district. Given the small size of the property, staff feels that it will be very difficult to develop without requesting variances. Therefore, staff feels that the property should remain zoned 0-3. F.
