STAFF ANALYSIS: The City of Little Rock/Little Rock Port Authority, owner of the 3.89 Acre property located on the north side of Lindsey Road, approximately 500 feet east of Fourche Dam Pike, is requesting to rezone the property from 1-2" Light Industrial District to 14' Industrial District.

As a condition of the rezoning, the applicant is proposing to eliminate certain uses from the list of 1-3 permitted uses. The uses which are to be eliminated from the 1-3 permitted use list are as follows: • Bulk storage of highly flammable and/or hazardous materials • Junk or salvage yard • Sand, gravel or earth sales and storage ■ Recycling facility, outside • Sanitary landfill The property is currently undeveloped and grass -covered.

There is a mixture of industrial uses and undeveloped 1-3 zoned property to the south across Lindsey Road. There is also a mixture of industrial uses to the east along Lindsey Road.

The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Industrial. The requested zoning change to 1-3 does not require a change to the Land Use Plan. Staff is supportive of the requested 1-3 zoning, with condition. Staff's only initial concern with the proposed rezoning was the possibility of having very intense industrial uses within this area of transition from the heavy industrial uses to the south and the 1-440/Fourche Dam Pike interchange. Staff feels the applicant has addressed this concern by eliminating the most intense industrial uses from the 1-3 permitted use list, as noted above. Staff believes the requested 1-3 zoning, with condition, and the proposed enclosed grease recycling facility will have no adverse impact on the general area. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-3 rezoning, subject to the following uses being eliminated from the permitted use list for the property: • Bulk storage of highly flammable and/or hazardous materials ■ Junk or salvage yard • Sand, gravel or earth sales and storage • Recycling facility, outside • Sanitary landfill PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 21, 2005) The applicant was present.
