D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
This request is located in the Chenal Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Commercial for this property. The applicant has applied for a
rezoning from R-2 Single Family to C-3 General Commercial District.
Staff conducted an extensive review of the Land Use Plan for this area in
2006. This location was amended to commercial as a result of this study
and Ordinance 19,722. Therefore, this request does not require a change
to the Land Use Plan.
Master Street Plan:
To the east of this site is Rahling Road, which is shown as a Principal
Arterial. The primary function of a Principal Arterial is to serve through
traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within
urbanized areas. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize
negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Rahling since it is a Principal
Arterial. Kanis Road is shown as a Minor Arterial. 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 on
Kanis since it is a Minor Arterial. These streets may require dedication of
right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to
the site.
Bicycle Plan:
A Class I route is shown along Kanis Road. A Class I bikeway is built
separate from or alongside a road. Additional paving and right-of-way
may be required.
Neighborhood Action Plan:
The property under review is not located in an area covered by a City of
Little Rock recognized neighborhood action plan.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Jim and Mandy Moore, owners of the 5.5 acre property located at 18018
Kanis Road, are requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single
Family District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The rezoning is
proposed for future commercial development of the site.
The property currently contains a one-story frame single-family structure
and accessory building. The remainder of the property is mostly
grass -covered. There are few mature trees on the site.

FILE NO.: Z-8321 (Cont.
There is undeveloped property located north, south (across Kanis Road)
and east of the site. There is currently clearing taking place on the
property to the east for the future extension of Rahling Road to align with
Edswood Road. The C-3 zoned property immediately to the west contains
two (2) commercial buildings.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as commercial.
The requested C-3 zoning does not require a change to the Land Use
Plan:
Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 rezoning. Staff views the request
as reasonable, given the current surrounding uses, zoning and future plan
designation. The properties immediately east and west of this site are
currently zoned C-3, with commercial designations on the Land Use Plan.
The property to the south across Kanis Road is currently zoned R-2 but
has a future plan designation of commercial. Additionally, the owner of
the property to the north has submitted on application for rezoning to C-1
and C-2. Staff believes future C-3 commercial development of this
property will be appropriate and will have no adverse input on the adjacent
properties or general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(APRIL 10, 2008)
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.
