SCUPL 01 SLIZVICLS: CONII.N1 AND PLAN IORMl11
The Land Use Plan for the Extraterritorial Area
shall consist of the following elements outlined
and described below:
1 .0 CAPACITY ANALYSIS
1 . 1 Land Use & Natural Technical analyses will be prepared of thoseaspects
Environment of the natural environment and existing land use
which shape development or which should be protected
for the long range benefit of the City. These
analyses will include the following factors :
Topography - Areas where steep slopes are an
important influence on development.
Surface Hydrology - Surface drainage systems to be
respected in order that the potential of future
flood damage will be minimized and sources public
water supply will be protected.
Agriculture and Forestation - AReas of prime agricul-
tural importance as well as natural vegetation cover
which is important to maintaining soil stability or
which may be important in providing needed public
open space.
Geology - Surface and subsurface geology which
causes potential instability due to erosion or sub-
sidence.
Land Use - Existing land use patterns including single
and multi-fancily residential , institutional , retail
commercial , wholesale and light industry, manufacturing,
mining, agriculture and open space uses will be mapped
and analyzed.
1 .2 Public Facilities The capacity of the study area to accommodate develop-
and Services ment may be constrained by the absence of essential
public services and facilities. Of particular import-
ance is the access provided by public roads and the
availability of water and sewer utility systems. Local ,
state and federal funding or regulatory programs which
affect their availability will need to be carefully
evaluated. Public services such as fire protection or
the relative quality of public education may likewise
affect the rate and type of development.
Water Simply (public and private)
The extent and capacity of the water system is funda-
mental to a definition of the overall development
capacity of the extraterritorial areas. Treatment
and delivery systems will be considered along with
permit , rate and system extension policies.
Private Utilities - Gas and Electric
Any apparent distribution or capacity limitations to
growth will be defined.
-3-
Sanitary Sewer Systems - Of obvious importance is the
region' s "208" water quality management plan which is
being prepared under the auspices of the Metroplan
agency. The impact of this plan on the extraterritorial
areas will he assessed along with public or private
septic systems. In addition the status of "201" plan-
ning must be evaluated.
Streets and Highways
City, county and state programs for constructing and
improving public roads will be evaluated in relation
to the physical capacity and current utilization of
the present road system.
Public Services
The availability, capacity and quality of essential
public services will be considered as they relate to
the capacity and relative attractiveness of the study
area. The major services to be considered include:
- fire and police protection
- police
- schools
1.3 Land Ownership Available data on the size and distribution of prop-
erty ownership of tracts of land 40 acres and greater
in the study area will be considered. This data will
indicate the scale and configuration of private land
assembly which often occurs in response to development
processes. This information compiled by the City will
in turn suggest the likely pattern of residential and
commercial development which can be anticipated.
1.4 Test Development The study area will be divided into a series of plan-
Pattern ping districts which are defined by major roads,
natural features, utility service areas or existing
developments. The capacity of each district to absorb
new development will then be assessed in light of the
preceding analyses.
The capacity of each district will be expressed in
terms of gross residential density, or a commercial
or industrial floor area ratio. The resulting esti-
mate of housing units will be translated into popula-
tion and commercial/industrial floor area. Employment
data will be generated by means of appropriate plan-
ning standards.
It should be emphasized that this Test Development
Pattern will not yield a "plan". Rather it will pro-
vide an essential foundation for Alternative Develop-
ment concepts (3.2) and finally a Development Plan for
the study area.

PRODUCT
A Technical Memorandum on Development Capacity will
be prepared which brings together the various analyses
of the Development Capacity of the study area. This
report will include at minimum the following maps and
graphic material:
1. Slopes
2. Generalized Engineering Geography
3. Surface Hydrology
4. Agriculture/forestation
5. Sewer Service

9. Public Facilities - Schools, Fire and Police
Protection
10. Existing Development Pattern
11. Test Land Use Pattern
Items 1-9 above will be developed by the subcontractor
while Items 10-11 will be the responsibility of
Team Four.

Z.0 DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND DEMAND
This second major analytic component will seek to
quantify the demand for development within the extra-
territorial areas of the City of Little Rock. The
starting point for this determination will be an
assessment of regional growth patterns including
demographic and economic trends which produce a demand
for "net growth" . The other side of the demand
analysis will be an evaluation of recent past and
current development trends within the study area
including the rate and type of residential , commercial ,
and industrial development. Finally, projected
regional growth will be "stepped down" to arrive at
a projected rate of anticipated development within the
study area . Clearly any studies prepared by Metro-
plan, the City, the Chamber of Commerce, major utility
companies or any other public or private entities with
a regional prespective, will be considered most care-
fully in this part of the study.
The steps to be included in the analysis of Development
Trends and Demand are described below:
2. 1 Regional Demographic The projections prepared by the City' s Comprehensive
Trends Planning Staff and by Metroplan will be analyzed and
used to prepare a program of projected population
growth for the Study Area.
2.2 Regional Economic The growth of the Little Rock region' s economic base
Trends will be examined to determine the likely effect of
—_ migration , employment and commercial/industrial
expansion on the study area. Available data and studies
from the U.S. Census , Metroplan, State planning agencies ,
the major private economic development interests and
the Office of Comprehensive Planning will be relied
upon to indicate the effect of economic growth upon
the future development pattern in the extraterritorial
area. Of special importance will be the estimated
effect of economic growth on net population growth and
on the expansion of employment in industry, government,
and services.
2.3 Development Available data , interviews with key participants and
Activity Analysis field surveys of residential and non-residential con-
-- struction at the periphery of the City and into the
extraterritorial area will be analyzed to derive the
present rate and character of land development and
construction in these areas.
-6-
•
A. development. Industry Interviews
Team Four will select with the City the key actors
in the development process within the extraterritorial
area. These will include representatives of the major
lending institutions , development firms , real estate
agencies , and private utilities (electric, gas) . We
would anticipate conducting a total of 10-15 interviews
which seek to discern the amount and type of develop-
ment envisioned for the study area by these private
sector actors.
B. Survey of Existing_ Commercial/Industrial Develop-
ment
Team Four will develop a methodology to be utilized
by the City Staff to inventory existing commercial
and industrial development within the study area. A
combination of telephone interviews with owner/opera-
tors, field notes , photography and aerial photography
will be used to estimate the approximate floor area
distribution and current vacancies by major retail
goods category (convenience goods , primary or second-
ary shoppers goods, automotive, etc. ) or industrial
use (SIC code). An inventory of improved sites
available for expansion will he included in this inven-
tory.
C. Survey of Multifamily Developments
Team Four will develop a methodology to be used by the
City Staff to inventory existing multifamily devel-
opments within the study area. A combination of
telephone interviews with owners/managers, field notes
and photography will be combined with data assembled
earlier to provide a profile of each multifamily pro-
ject including data on construction, zoning, size of
tract, building type, tenure (rental vs. owner occu-
pied) , unit distribution and size, and vacancy rates.
D. Survey of Single Family Home Construction,
Team Four will develop a methodology to be used by
the City Staff to inventory all major active or planned
subdivisions including status of platting and subdi-
vision approval , a profile of homes built (size,
bedrooms, sales price) , and an inventory of available
improved lots.
-7-
—h
1.4 Public P1dnniny Both the informal and the formal development policies
and Devel_o_[pment_ of the various public bodies affecting the extraterri-
Policy torial area will be analyzed. This analysis will in-
clude interviews (10-15) with key public officials
responsible for formulating and implementing these
policies and plans. All pertinent public documents
will likewise be considered. The areas of critical
public policy and planning will include:
Comprehensive Planning
Public Schools
City Zoning Administration
City Subdivision Controls
State, Regional and City Transportation Plans
Sewers
Water
Regional Planning (f4etroplan)
2.5 Projected Develop- The future demand for residential , commercial and
ment Demand industrial development within the extraterritorial
area will be projected. This demand will be expressed
in terms of the following units of demand per year:
Single family residences/acres
Multifamily apartments/acres
Retail floor area/acres
Industrial/warehouse floor area/acres
The general direction of development to accommodate
this demand will be allocated in broad sectors (for
example: "west" , "west-southwest" , "southwest",
"south-southwest" , "south" , "south-southeast". )
PRODUCT : •
A Technical Memorandum on Development Trends and Demand
will be prepared which brings together the analyses
noted above. This report will include at the minimum
the following maps and graphic materials:
-Projected Population Growth - Region and Study
Area (graph and table)
'Projected Growth in Residential Units (SF & MF) -
Region and Study Area (graph and table)

3.0 OPTIMUM GROWTH CONCEPT
3.1 Goals and Develop- It is anticipated that the preparation of the Optimum
ment Policies Growth Concept will begin with a clear and concise
statement of Goals and Policies to guide decision-
making toward the implementation of the plan. The
Goals will define the type of enviornment to be
planned for in the extraterritorial area - the density,
land use and housing mix, the relative importance of
the protection of the natural environment, the quality
and extent of the public infrastructure, etc. The
Development Policies will outline the procedures and
standards proposed to be adopted by the City to accomplish
its Goals for the study area. The issues likely to be
addressed in thee statement of Development Policies
would include:
a. zoning
b. staging development
c. provision of municipal utilities
d. housing types and density mix
e. location of commercial centers
f. land use along highways and arterial streets
g. annexation strategies
3.2 Alternative Generalized concepts of development will be proposed
Development for consideration in arriving at an Optimum Redevelop-
Concepts ment Plan. These Alternatives prepared by the
Consultant will be presented in graphic and statistical
form.
A. Prototype Sector Plans
Team Four will select with the City two typical situa-
tions within the extraterritorial area to be considered
for analysis and planning at a greater level of detail
than for the larger study area. It is anticipated that
these areas would be about one (1) square mile in area
and would present a range of existing conditions and
of potential for further development. The sectors would
include present or potential land uses ranging from
single family residential to retail commercial and in-
dustrial development.
The studies would include first a critique of the exist-
ing development pattern and an analysis of future oppor-
tunities for planned or guided growth which might avoid
any mistakes identified from past development patterns.
It would likely likewise demonstrate the application of
i existing or proposed development standards from the new
planned unit development, subdivision ordinance. Con-
sideration will be given to urban design issues, alterna-
tives and controls in one of the two selected phototype
section plans.
-10-
I
•
The Prototype Sector Plans would most likely be
prepared at a scale of 1 "::200 ft. utilizing the
City' s base maps at that scale, together with
special aerial photography and the City's Land Use
Survey. The analysis and plans for these Sectors
would be presented both graphically and in written
form. They likewise will be directed towards dem-
onstrating "how plan goals , policies, and develop-
ment standards can be implemented on the ground".
B. Alternative Land_Use/Density Patterns
A series of generalized concepts of development will
be prepared for consideration in arriving at an Op-
timum Growth Concept and Development Plan. These
alternatives will be presented in both graphic and
statistical form. They will consider different broad
configurations of land use and density. They will be
evaluated and then a proposed "Optimum Growth Concept"
to be built upon as a Development Plan for the extra-
territorial area in Section 3.3 to follow.
3.3 Development Plan A Development Plan will be prepared which represents
—— an Optimum Growth Concept from among the various
alternatives considered above. This Plan will consist
of three elements which together describe the environ-
ment to be sought in the study area.
Land Use - The type and intensity of land uses.
Transportation - A network of roadways designed in
accordance with a standard hierarchy to support the
pattern of land uses proposed.
Public Facilities - A program of major municipal
public facilities required within the framework
of the land use and transportation elements includ-
ing:
- sewers and sewage treatment facilities
- community centers
- parks and open space
- fire and police facilities
- public schools (in coordination with the •
County School System)
-11-
3.r4 In1?lementation the full ranee cr( municipal plan implementation tech-
-- Stratecjies niques will be considered for the implentation of the
and Techniques Develorent. Plan.
This array will include:
Annexation Strategy - Reconmendations will be made
regarding the timing, scale and service commitments
to be made by the City regarding annexation. This
strategy would recognize existing legal constraints
and public policy to be reflected in the Statement
of Goals and Development Policies. It would likewise
incorporate recommendations for state legislation
needed to facilitate the Annexation Strategy.
Land Development Regulations - Proposed changes in
the zoning code text and map, subdivision code, or
other specialized development regulations required
to guide land development will be suggested. It is
anticipated that some if not most of these proposals
can he incorporated into the new zoning code which
is currently being prepared by the City Staff.
Capital Improvements - A 5 year budget for municipal
invest'ent in the public infrastructure of the extra-
territorial areas, including streets and highways,
parks and open space, police and fire protection,
water and sewer improvements , storm water collection,
etc. The capital budget will be a direct outgrowth
of the Transportation and Public Facilities elements
of the Development Plan.
Fiscal Impacts - The various sources of municipal
revenue to be derived from the extraterritorial areas
will be weighed against the costs of servicing the
same area. Any adjustments in the City's fiscal
structure will be proposed which are deemed necessary
to accommodate these areas.
PRODUCT:
A Final Technical Memorandum which outlines
the Optimum Development Plan, including the consid-
eration of Alternative Development Concepts and the
rationale of the Capital Improvement Budget. The
report will include at a minimum the following maps
and graphic material :
1 . Alternative Development Concepts
2. Development Plan - Land Use
3. Development Plan - Transportation
4. Development Plan - Public Facilities
5. Development Plan - Staging
6. Annexation Strategy
7. Capital Improvements
8. Proposed Zoning Policies
DATA COLLECTION MAPPING AND REPORTS
We have described briefly below our general approach
to the conduct of the study and production of the
various products.
Data Collection Team Four and the subcontractor will utilize all perti-
nent data available from the City as described in the
Request for Proposals. In addition we will conduct
interviews with key public and private officials and
assemble relevant background materials from the persons
interviewed. It is further anticipated that the City
Staff will be available to assist in data collection
including especially the survey of residential, commer-
cial and industrial development trends.
Mapping We propose, based upon our review of the City's map-
ping resources, to develop a base map set at 1" = 1000
ft. utilizing the topographic series obtained by the
City from the U.S. Geological Survey. The original
set will be duplicated and the major features of the
study will be added to and emphasized on the base.
(i.e. , the major road network, political boundaries,
etc. ) A standard title block and legend system will
be developed for application to all maps utilized in
the study. The various information maps will be developed
for application to all maps utilized in the study. The
various information maps will be developed for public
presentation in color and for inclusion in the various
technical reports.
Reports and Products WORKING MEMORANDA AND DRAFT REPORTS
Key components of each of the study products will be
submitted to the City in working memorandum form.
Also, each of the major reports will be submitted in
draft form for review and comment by the City prior to
finalization.
TECHNICAL REPORT
As indicated in the outlined Scope of Work, we propose
to assemble and integrate the various technical
memoranda from Parts I, II, and III into a Technical
Report of the full assignment. The City will reproduce
at least 100 copies of the Technical Report from original
copy to be provided by the Consultant.
POLICIES PLAN
We further propose to separately publish the Goals and
Development Policies as a document to be considered for
adoption by the City Board of Directors. (100 copies)
Team Four will be responsible for the reproduction of
the Coals and Policy document.

SUMMARY PLAN
The Development Plan will be summarized for broad
•
distribution in a fold out, poster format with
color printing. (1000 copies) Team Four will be
responsible for the printing of this document.
DEVELOPMENT ATLAS
The map series at 1" = 1000 ft. will be bound with
appropriate text (at about 34" x 44") . The City
will be responsible for the reproduction of the Atlas.
One copy will be colored by the Consultant for office
reference.

SUBCONTRACTOR SCOPE OF SERVICES
Pursuant to our conversation, I have discussed below
the content and scope of the anticipated subcontract
to be negotiated between Team Four and a Little Rock
based consulting firm. These comments seek to expand
upon the outline which you submitted to several firms
on August 18, 1978.
1.0 CAPACITY ANALYSIS
