D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
This request is located in the 65th Street West Planning District. The Land
Use Plan shows Light Industrial for this property. The applicant has
applied for a change to 1-1 for an industrial use.
The request does not require a change to the Land Use Plan.
Master Street Plan:
Shackleford Road is shown as a Minor Arterial on the Master Street Plan
and may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an
urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel
within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to
minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians.
Bicycle Plan
A Class II is shown along Shackleford Road. A Class II bikeway is located
on the street as either a 5' shoulder or six foot marked bike lane.
Additional paving and right-of-way may be required.
City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan:
The applicant's property lies in the area covered by the Westwood/Pecan
Lake/Stagecoach Dodd Neighborhood Action Plan. The Land Use and
Zoning goal has these objectives relevant to this case: "Maintain and
encourage single-family and low-density residential developments in the
residential area of the neighborhood, while encouraging responsible non-
residential development in the area currently reserved for such uses on
the Future Land Use Plan" and "Encourage non-residential developments
to occupy area north of David O Dodd Road and west of Shackleford
Road — allowing remaining areas to be reserved for low density residential
uses." This application is not in conflict with these objectives.
E. STAFF ANALYSI
Hillman S. Koen, Jr., owner of the 5.0576 acre property located at 5500 S.
Shackleford Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single
Family District to 14' Industrial Park District. The rezoning is proposed for

Undeveloped property is located across S. Shackleford Road to the east. A
Little Rock Wastewater/Central Arkansas facility is located across
Clearwater Drive to the west. Office -warehouse type developments are
located to the north.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Light Industrial.
The requested zoning change to 1-1 does not require a change to the Land
Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning. Staff views the rezoning
request as reasonable. The proposed 1-1 zoning will be a continuation o the
existing zoning pattern in this area. Properties to the north, east and west
are currently zoned 1-1. Staff believes the zoning of this property to 1-1 will
have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area. The
1-1 Zoning District is a site plan review district. The site plan for proposed
future development of the property will have to be reviewed and approved
by the Planning Commission.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-1 rezoning.
