of the property is located near the center of the site, with a slope of
approximately 14 feet down to the creek (south) and five (5) feet down to the

ILE NO.: Z-8902 (Cont.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Public Institutional.
An application to change this designation to Light Industrial is a separate item on
this agenda.
Staff is supportive of the requested zoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property was given a land use designation of Public Institutional
as part of the overall airport area. The property across Lindsey Road to the east
has a land use designation of Light Industrial, with Commercial to the south. The
airport property across E. Roosevelt Road to the north is zoned 1-1 and 1-2. Staff
believes the proposed 1-2 zoning represents a continuation of the zoning and
land use pattern in this area and will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties or general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 1-2 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (DECEMBER 12, 2013)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the

Name: Land Use Plan Amendment — Port Planning District
Location: West side of Lindsey Road approximately 1000' north of 1-440
Request: Public Institutional to Light Industrial
Source: Tim Daters, White Daters
PROPOSAL / REQUEST:
Land Use Plan amendment in the Port Planning District from Public Institutional
to Light Industrial. This category provides for light warehouse, distribution or
storage uses, and/or other industrial uses that are developed in a well -designed
"park like" setting. The specified use as listed on the application is for car and
truck rental, leasing, sales and service.
EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is vacant and is currently zoned R-2 Single Family and is about 9
acres in size. To the north is land that is zoned 1-1 Industrial Park and 1-2 Light
Industrial. That land is shown as PI Public Institutional for airport or related uses
and Light Industrial. To the east and northeast are lands zoned R-2 single
Family that is either vacant or has single family homes on them. The vacant land
is shown as Light Industrial and the homes are shown as Residential Low
Density. To the south is the Fourche Creek. The Fourche Creek is shown as
PK/OS on the plan. Across the creek is a strip of land zoned C-3 General
Commercial and more R-2. The C-3 land is shown as Commercial while further
south is shown as Mining and Industrial. Across Fourche Creek and on the
other side of Lindsey Road is a piece of land that is zoned PR Park and
Recreation which is shown on the plan as PK/OS park open Space.
FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND RECENT AMENDMENTS:
On March 18, 2003, a change was made on this site from Industrial to Public
Institutional. This was part of a package of eighteen changes to make the Land
Use Plan in conformance with the "East of 1-30 Report". Airport property was
generally changed from Industrial to Public Institutional and Industrial changed to
Light Industrial for the vicinity surrounding this application.

MASTER STREET PLAN:
Roosevelt Road and Lindsey Road at this property are shown as a Collectors on
the plan. The primary function of a Collector Street is to provide a connection
from Local Streets to Arterials.
BICYCLE PLAN:
Roosevelt Road and Lindsey Road at this property are shown as a Class 3 bike
routes on the plan. A Class III bikeway is a signed route on a street shared with
traffic. No additional paving or right-of-way is required. Class III bicycle route
signage may be required.
PARKS:
There is a public park across Lindsey Road from the site, Remmel Park which
features a boat launch area, fishing and picnicking.
HISTORIC DISTRICTS:
There are no city recognized historic districts that would be affected by this
amendment.
ANALYSIS:
The Airport Plan shows all of this area for airport or airport related industrial
uses. This site is shown as Public Institution (PI) because of its proximity to the
Little Rock National Airport. Some airport related industry is shown as PI, while
others are shown as Light Industrial (LI). The proposed use would be one of the
related uses to the airport.
The proximity to the runways would preclude that this location would be suitable
for those industrial uses whose locations are dependent on the relationship to the
airport. With the Light Industrial immediately to the east and northeast, it is
appropriate to recognize this site as one of the locations for airport related
industrial uses and show this area as Light Industrial.
The Land Use Plan shows non-residential use areas west and north of Fourche
Creek for Light Industrial, i.e. the Land Use plan calls for Light Industrial or
Public Institutional for everything north and west of Fourche Creek to Bond, as
does the Airport plan. Since this site is not publicly owned, a change to Light
Industrial would seem reasonable and logical.
The height of any development is governed by the Adams Field Height Zoning
Ordinance.
