Rock (Case Number Z-6396-B)
Good afternoon, Jordan,
There is no additional information that is being requested for the Land Use Plan amendment application,
at this time. As stated, the remaining steps are: submission of the $75 filing fee and picking up the
required public notice signs from our oƯice.
No additional public notice letters are needed for the LUP application as it is being pursued concurrently
with the rezoning request. However, I recommend that the public notice letters for the rezoning
application include a reference to LU2025-16-01 and indicate the requested change from RL (Residential
Low Density) to AF (Agriculture).
I’ll defer to Torrence and Monte regarding the rezoning request.
Thanks,

Good morning,
The applications for rezone and land use were submitted by email previously, is there any additional
information to be submitted in person with filing fee?
2
Also, since there was some initial confusion with the rezone request, I wanted to confirm if the notice exhibits
referenced in August 5 email from Torrence are still required since we are only requesting rezone and
conditional use permit is not required?
Thanks!

Tract 1 (2.45 acres) on the plat is not included in rezone request or land use amendment
application -- it was sold. The property described in Exhibit A -- submitted with both
applications and attached for reference -- is the property description for Tract 2 on plat.

Good morning, Jordan,

Thank you for your submission, which includes the cover letter, Land Use
application, aƯidavit, property description, and survey.
To confirm, based on the illustration overlaid on the survey, are you intending
to exclude the front parcel containing the single-family dwelling from the
rezoning and land use amendment application?
To move forward and be scheduled for the next available Planning
Commission meeting, the remaining steps are:
1. Submission of the $75 filing fee
2. Picking up the required public notice signs from our office
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning Hannah,
Please find attached completed Land Use Amendment Application along with
cover letter, plat (Tract 2) and property description (Exhibit A). Per our
conversation with Mr. Moore, the conditional use permit will not be required. Let
us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Good afternoon, Mr. Hood,
Thank you for providing the survey and legal description.
However, it appears there may be some confusion regarding
the land use applications being requested. We are in need of
completed applications for both a Conditional Use Permit and
a Land Use Plan Amendment, which are attached for your
reference. The Planned Zoning District application you
submitted is not required for this project.
I also spoke with a representative from your oƯice and outlined
the missing items for the Land Use Plan Amendment. These
include the completed application, a cover letter, and the $75
filing fee.
Mr. Thrower can provide further details on what is still needed
for the Conditional Use Permit.
To help streamline the process, it may be most convenient to
stop by our oƯice on Monday to clarify any remaining
documentation, submit the filing fee(s), and pick up the
required public notice signs.
Thanks,

Good afternoon Hannah/Torrence,
Per our conversations yesterday, the proposed area
to be rezoned is Tract 2 of the attached plat. As
stated in the rezone application, this includes parcel
5L-091.00-020.00 (currently Light Industrial per
Otter Creek Planning District 16) and a portion of
parcel 45L-091.00-018.00 (currently residential).
The home (Tract 1-address 11617 Alexander Road)
on parcel 45L-091.00-018.00 is not included in the
rezone request and will remain Residential (RL).
There will be no changes to the Land Use -- we are
simply requesting the zoing be updated accordingly,
to Agriculture District. The land has been, and will
continue to be, agriculture.

Subject: Land Use Plan Amendment Required: 11617/1705 Alexander Road, Little Rock
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 15:52:34 +0000
From: RatzlaƯ, Hannah K. <hratzlaƯ@littlerock.gov>
To: aaron@razsurvey.com <aaron@razsurvey.com>
Good morning, Mr. Rasburry,
Our records indicate that you
recently applied for a Rezoning
Application with the Little Rock
Planning & Development
Department for the properties
located at 11617 and 11705
Alexander Road, identified as case
number Z-6396-B. In reviewing this
request, our staƯ has determined
that a Land Use Plan Amendment
is required. Developing or rezoning
a property for a use that is not
consistent with the Land Use Plan
requires an amendment to the
plan. This can be applied for and
reviewed by the Planning
Commission and Board of
Directors concurrently with the
rezoning request; however, it does
require a separate application and
filing fee.
9
In order for your zoning application
to be heard by the Planning
Commission, you will need to
complete and file a Land Use Plan
Amendment application and
required submittals outlined in the
application packet, attached here,
by Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
The property is located in the Otter
Creek planning district and the
land use designation for this
property is currently Residential
Low Density. The Residential Low
Density (RL) designation is meant
to provide provides for single
family homes at densities not to
exceed 6 dwelling units per acre.
However, it is my understanding
that your rezoning request is to
use the property for purposes
allowable through conditional use
within the AF-Agricultural and
Forestry Zoning District. To do this,
staƯ advises that the most
appropriate Land Use designation
request would be Agricultural (A).
Please familiarize yourself with the
land use narrative for the Otter
Creek planning district to guide
your request and application,
available here: City Master Plans.
Please review the instructions
provided within the LUP
Amendment and please don’t
hesitate to reach out with any
questions.
Thanks,
Hannah Ratzlaff
