E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Mildred C. Eubanks, owner of the 2.67 acre property located at 8707
Mabelvale Pike, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single
Family District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The property is
located on the south side of Mabelvale Pike, at Mabelvale Drive (just east
of the State Highway Department campus). The rezoning is proposed for
future commercial development of the property.

FILE NO.: Z-8284 (Cont.
The site is occupied by a one-story brick single family residence located
within the northwest portion of the property. There is a one-story frame
accessory structure at the southeast corner of the house. A gravel
driveway from Mabelvale Pike serves as access. The east and south
portions of the property are undeveloped and partially wooded.
The general area contains a mixture of zoning and uses. The properties
across Mabelvale Pike to the north are zoned 1-2 and contain industrial
uses. There is a manufactured home and large commercial -type building
on the property immediately east, with single family residences on large
lots further east. Arkansas Highway Department facilities are located to
the west. There is undeveloped R-2 zoned property immediately to the
south, with mixed commercial uses further south along Interstate 30.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial.
The requested rezoning to C-3 does not require a change to the Land Use
Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to C-3. Staff views the request
as reasonable, given the current surrounding uses and future plan
designation. The Future Land Use Plan shows Commercial for the area
between Mabelvale Pike and 1-30, from the Mabelvale Pike/Baseline
intersection eastward several hundred feet past this property. Staff believes
future commercial development of this property is appropriate, and will have
no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(DECEMBER 6, 2007)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
the item with a recommendation of approval.
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 11 ayes and 0 nays.
