RE: P.Z.D Application 3122 Marshall Street, Little Rock, AR 72206
To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing to formally request the rezoning of the property located at 3122 Marshall Street,
Little Rock, AR 72206, from its current R-3 (Single-Family Residential) zoning designation to
PD-C (Planned Development – Commercial).
This property previously operated as a small-scale neighborhood market, church and numerous
other businesses and has long served as a familiar landmark within the community. My
intention is to revitalize and reopen the space as a community mini-market, providing residents
with convenient access to fresh food, everyday essentials, and locally sourced goods in a
walkable setting. There will be no liquor, lottery or tobacco products sold.
The proposed use aligns with the evolving needs of the surrounding neighborhood and supports
the city’s broader goals of encouraging mixed-use development, promoting local
entrepreneurship, and increasing access to services within underserved areas. The mini-market
would be designed with the community in mind, emphasizing safety, accessibility, and
neighborhood-friendly hours of operation. We are adding 7 parking spaces, enclosed dumpster
and better site access.
This project directly addresses several of the Southend Neighborhood plan’s most pressing
objectives:
● Community Health & Food Access:
The store tackles the food desert issue by bringing fresh, healthy, affordable groceries
into walking distance of residents.
● Economic Development:
The store will provide jobs, workforce training, and local supplier opportunities
● Cultural Identity & Community:
As a neighborhood grocery, the store doubles as a community gathering space
● Revitalization of Commercial Properties:
Renovating 3122 Marshall St transforms an underutilized property into a neighborhood
anchor business.
I understand the importance of thoughtful land use planning and am committed to working with
the Planning & Development Department, as well as community stakeholders, to ensure the
project aligns with all applicable codes and enhances the quality of life for nearby residents.
Please find enclosed the required rezoning application, site plan, and supporting documents. I
respectfully request your consideration of this proposal and welcome any opportunity to discuss
it further or provide additional information as needed.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
