D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
FILE NO.: Z-8412
This request is located in the Arch Street Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Mining for this property. The applicant has applied for a
rezoning from R-2 Single Family to M Mining District and OS Open Space
for future development.
A Land Use Plan Amendment from Mining to Park Open Space is a
separate item on this agenda.
Master Street Plan:
Arch Street Pike 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
Arch Street Pike since it is a Principal Arterial. This street may require
dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for
entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan.
There is a proposed Class I bike route near this application area. 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:
3M Company, owner of 50.99 acres of property located along the east
side of Arch Street Pike, 2,000 feet south of Interstate 30, is requesting to
rezone 42.50 acres of the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "M"
Mining District and 8.49 acres from "R-2" Single Family District to "OS"
Open Space District. The applicant is proposing the rezoning to M to
allow for the extension of an existing stone quarry. The OS zoning is
requested to allow for open space adjacent to Fourche Creek to aid in its
preservation.
The property is undeveloped and mostly wooded. All surrounding
property is undeveloped. The property to the east, west and south is
zoned M. The property to the north, northeast and northwest is zoned
R-2. There is a stone quarry to the west and south.

ITEM NO: B.1 (Cont.
FILE NO.: Z-8412
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Mining. The
requested 42.50 acres of M zoning does not require a change to the Land
Use Plan. A Land Use Plan Amendment from Mining to Park Open Space
is a separate item on this agenda for the 8.49 acres of proposed OS
zoning. A right-of-way and plat abandonment application for a small area
near the northwest corner of the property is also a separate item on this
agenda.
Staff is supportive of the requested M and OS rezoning. Staff views the
request as reasonable. The property immediately east, west and south of
the proposed M zoning is currently zoned M, with stone quarry operations
to the south and west. The proposed OS zoning should aid in the
preservation of the Fourche Creek corridor located north of the proposed
M zoning. There is existing OS zoned property to the west. The proposed
M and OS zoning represent a continuation of the zoning pattern in this
area. Staff believes the rezoning is appropriate and will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested M and OS rezoning.
