City Adopts University District Land Use Plan

The Little Rock City Board of Directors recently adopted land use changes recommended by the University District Revitalization Plan.

The Planning Commission adopted the recommendations in July and forwarded them to the city board for consideration. The land use plan is a visionary document that sets the overall direction for real estate development in the area. The most significant amendment was to change the land use plan in the Colonel Glenn corridor from commercial to mixed use, encouraging developers to consider incorporating office, institutional, and residential uses along with commercial development. A map illustrating the changes is available.
