Little Rock Planning Commission Meeting 11.12.26

The City of Little Rock Planning Commission meeting was held November 12, 2026. The commission approved the consent agenda, which included preliminary plats and several land-use, rezoning, and planned-development requests. Applicant-requested items 11 and 11.1, 13, and 14 were deferred to December 10; item 3 was withdrawn without prejudice. No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified.

Among the discussed cases, commissioners approved a preliminary plat for a 41-lot residential subdivision, adding a condition that pre-blast surveys be offered to any interested residents of the neighboring Wildwood Place subdivision. They denied the requested rezoning for a four-unit duplex project intended to provide housing that included veterans and lower-income residents; the motion failed, with Commissioner Russell voting in favor and the other recorded votes against. A five-lot preliminary plat for a site already zoned multifamily was approved, with one abstention, despite residents’ concerns about traffic and neighborhood impacts. The commission also approved a C-3 to C-4 rezoning to allow an auto sales business on South University Avenue, over one opposition speaker’s concerns about neighborhood character and property values.
