Subject: Rezoning Application for 1417 Roosevelt Rd.
Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am writing to request a rezoning of the property located at 1417 Roosevelt Rd. from C-3 (General
Commercial) to C-4 (Open Display Commercial). I am the owner of the property and I have enclosed a
copy of the deed as proof of ownership.
The property is currently vacant and has an area of 0.18 acres. It is surrounded by commercial and
mixed -use developments on three sides and a single-family residential neighborhood on the other side.
The current zoning of C-3 is incompatible with the existing and future land use patterns in the area and
limits the potential of the property.
I propose to rezone the property to C-4, allowing it to be utilized as a Used Car Dealership. The rezoning
would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Little Rock Comprehensive Plan, which
encourages economic development and infill development of the community. The rezoning would also
benefit the surrounding community by providing more services, jobs, and tax revenue.
I have attached a copy of the land survey that shows the layout and description of the property.
I respectfully request that the Planning Commission approve my rezoning application and recommend it
to the City Council for final approval. I appreciate your time and consideration of this matter. If you have
any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me at (501) 772-1905 or
