Furthermore, I wn strongly oppos_d to "supping it" for Tract D -2 (Ranch Drive) and increasing the zoning front 02 to 03 and frour C2 to C3 in the process! Rc- zoning the property would be to the 2etriteenr of the community both locally and regionally. The property fronting Cantrell has a buyer, Family Life, to which 1 have absolutely no objection. An office can be constructed as an allowed use on that C2 tract as the current zoning stands [LR Zoning Otdinance: "C2 allowable use vv. Office (general andprofesfonal)" 1, The proposal bctore you is, quite simply, to permit the amassing of a large -scale commercial C3 me ;ablock without any buffer or controls. Please do not allow this to happen! There is no positive reason to change the property fronting Ranch Drive from 02 to C3. Rc- zoning Us property will, in fact have several negative impacts: 1. SCALE AND MASSING: I am very concerned with creating a 65 acre conarnercial center, SO acres of which are zontigt:ouS! A commercial development of the scale of Bowman Curve or similar nicely done commercial centers would be welcome there, but that is more on the order of a 15 acre. development Three times Bowman Curve would simply overwhelm the area with noise, light and congestion -niorc than even the proposed :raf5c light could hard!c. 2. USE: By changing a quiet planned Office zoning to C3 Commercial leaves the neighborhood and the city with no legal means of prmveatirug a "big box" grocery store or commercial retail from being built! In fact, C3 zoning is designed specifically for such "big box' anchor stove d= veiopments! C2 is for plznned neighborhood commercial developments. 3. IWACT: Voting for re- zoning this geographically key piece from 02 to C3 will establish a precedent for large -scale big box or, at the very Least, large scale spra wting Commercial centers along the Highway 10 Corridor! Such commercial megabloeks will snarl traffic and completely change the nature of this beautiful, scenic area of Little Rock. 4. PRECEDENT- Re -zonmg along the secondary road, Ranch Drive, will set a lasting precedent for future developers to cite when wanting to eradicate quiet office use zoning "buffers" that separate established residential areas from intensive commercial developments. It "H also set the precedent for large area developments such as a Val-Mart along liighway 10. Keep in mind that the staff report does not reflect the fact drat just twelve short mouths ago the adjoining 40 acres of C3 was 02 itsclil Your decision will determine the direction the city is to take either for the better or the worse. Please consider carefully. Simcaroty, Georg homps h. AUi enct
