E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
F
Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission, owner of the 3.44 acres of
property located south of East 9th Street, north of East 10th Street and
between Conner and Crosby Streets, is requesting to rezone the property
from "R-3" and "R-4" Single Family and Two -Family Districts to 1-2" Light
Industrial District. The rezoning is proposed to allow future expansion of
the Airport facilities, which are located to the south. The rezoning consists
of the following properties:
All of Block 35, Industrial Park Addition
The majority of the property proposed for rezoning is comprised of vacant
lots. There is one (1) occupied residential structure and five (5) vacant
residential structures. The remainder of the block is undeveloped and
grass covered.
There is an industrial building located on the 1-2 zoned property to the
north, with Dassault Falcon Jet facilities to the south. Undeveloped 1-2
zoned property is located to the east. The R-3, C-3 and 1-2 zoned
properties to the west are mostly undeveloped with few vacant structures.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Single
Family, with a Special Coverage for Light Industrial. The requested
rezoning does not require a change to the Future Land Use Plan based on
the fact that the proposed rezoning includes 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-23-400). Staff believes the proposed rezoning will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or general area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-2 rezoning.
