Kanis Road has Special Design Standards from Burlingame Road to Stewart Road, which consists of a two-lane road with a twenty-two foot paved with and four -foot shoulders.

Existing or proposed Class I, II, or III bikeways are not in the immediate vicinity of the development. City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan: The property under review is not located in an area covered by a City of Little Rock recognized neighborhood action plan. E. STAFF ANALYSIS: John Sewall, owner of the 2.2 Acre property at 18303 Denny Road and 18900/18904 Kanis Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial District. The rezoning is proposed for future commercial development of the property. The property is located several hundred feet west of the Kanis Road/Denny Road intersection. There is one (1) single family residence located on the property which fronts Denny Road and two (2) single family homes on the property fronting Kanis Road. There is a nonconforming small office use located in an accessory building along Denny Road. Single family residences on large lots are located to the north (across Denny Road), south (across Kanis Road) and to the west. There is undeveloped property immediately east of the site, at the intersection of K FILE NO.: Z-7729 Cont. Kanis and Denny Roads. There is undeveloped C-1 property located to the northeast as well as undeveloped R-2 zoned property in the general area. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates the portion of the property fronting Kanis Road as Neighborhood Commercial. The portion which fronts Denny Road is designated as Single Family. A staff -driven Land Use Plan Amendment to change the northern portion of the property to Neighborhood Commercial is a separate item on this agenda. Staff is supportive of the requested C-1 zoning. Staff feels that the request is reasonable. The City's Future Land Use Plan currently shows Neighborhood Commercial at the intersection of Kanis Road and Denny Road, as well at the intersection of Kanis Road and Stewart Road. Expanding the Neighborhood Commercial to include the northern portion of this property is a fairly minor change. A rezoning of this property to C-1 will allow the continued use of the property as single family residential, as well as legitimizing the nonconforming small office use along the Denny Road frontage. Staff believes the proposed rezoning will have no adverse impact on the general area. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested C-1 rezoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 21, 2004) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item with a recommendation of approval. The applicant offered no additional comments. The Chairman placed the item before the Commission for inclusion within the Consent Agenda for approval as recommended by staff. A motion to that effect was made. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 nays and 2 absent. The application was approved.
