Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and
their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the
urbanized area. Kanis Road may require dedication of right-of-way and
may require street improvements. The property is only accessible from
Kanis Road, a Minor Arterial, so curb cuts should be minimal.
Existing or proposed Class I, II or III bikeways are not in the immediate
vicinity of the development.

The applicant's property lies in the area covered by the Birchwood -Walnut
Valley Neighborhood Action Plan. The Infrastructure goal is to "Maintain

E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Central Arkansas Land Development, LLC, owner of the 1.19 acre
property at 11700 Kanis Road, is requesting to rezone the property from
"R-2" Single Family District to "04" General Office District. The rezoning
is proposed for future office development. A multiple building site plan for
office use was approved by the Planning Commission on October 7, 2004
(S-1 096-E). A condition of the site plan approval was rezoning this
property to 0-3.

300 feet west of Autumn Road. The property is currently occupied by a
one-story frame single family structure. There is a gravel driveway from

The general area contains a mixture of zoning and uses. There is an
office development (also owned by Central Arkansas Land Development,
LLC) to the north along Autumn, with a mini-warehouse/office
development to the northwest. There is a mixture of office and
commercial uses across Kanis Road to the south. A vacant office building
is located to the east, at the northwest corner of Kanis and Autumn Roads.
Office and commercial uses exist across Autumn Road further to the east.
Single Family structures and a nonconforming contractor's maintenance
yard exist on the R-2 property to the west, with a mix of office and
commercial uses further west along Bowman Road.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Mixed Office
and Commercial. The requested zoning change to 0-3 does not require a

reasonable. Staff feels that future office development of the property in

development to the north will prove to be a good use of the property. Staff

general area.
