Speaking of Urban Planning... Little Rock Planning Commission Strikes Again

Little Rock Planning Commission is set to cave to Deltic Timber "over the strenuous objections of the Planning Commission advisory staff."

Yard signs have been springing up around West Little Rock in protest of plans to re-zone portions of Rahling Road from residential to "general office," plus extend Beckenham and Wellington to provide cut-throughs between Rahling and Hinson roads.

Naturally the property owners association for the affected neighborhood is seeing red.

"She (Dana Gaddy, resident of Hillsborough neighborhood) believes the city is too beholden to developers, who seek approval of new developments in exchange for street construction."
