Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission, owner of the 4.8 acres of
property located south of East 9th Street, north of East 10th Street and east
of Crosby Street, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" and "R-Y
Single Family Districts to 1-2" Light Industrial District. The rezoning is

b. Lots 1-4 and 17-20, Block 43, Industrial Park Addition
The majority of the property proposed for rezoning is comprised of vacant
lots. There are several vacant residential structures within Block 36,
Industrial Park Addition, between Crosby and Ventura Streets. There are
no residential structures within Block 43.
Single family residential structures and vacant lots are located on the R-2

not require a change to the Future Land Use Plan based on the fact that the
proposed rezoning includes more than an entire platted block of property.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property is located within a Special Coverage area for
Light Industrial and future airport facilities expansion according to the Future
Land Use Plan. On September 27, 2007 the Little Rock Planning
Commission approved a multiple -building site plan, including parking, for
expansion of the Dassault Falcon Jet facilities to the east of the proposed
area of rezoning. An application to abandon the rights -of -way within and
adjacent to the area of rezoning is also an application on this agenda
(G-23-395). Staff believes the proposed rezoning will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or general area.
