N.W.ITimes, The minutes of the regular meeting on Monday, May 6, 1968, a copy of which had previously been mailed to

The City Manager presented Administrative Memo No. 108 outlining the Zoning Plan For Campus Area which wa
spread on the minutes and reads as follows:
Memo No. 108 A ADMINISTRATIVE MEMO N0. 108
Campus Area ZONING PLAN FOR CAMPUS AREA
Plannino
In late March the City Board of Directors instructed the staff to prepare a zoning plan for the area
adjacent to and surrounding the campus such plan to be used for future land use and rezoning requests for
this property.. Mr. Vizzier has net several times with Dr. James Green and the Campus Planning Committee
including representatives fof the Student Affairs Office. The University Planners, Hamilton -Butt Associates,
have been contacted also but have not made recommendations or comments.
Attached to this memo you will find a report from the City's Planning Consultant and a zoning plan map ofl
the campus area. The map indicates present zoning districts as R-3, R-4, C-3 I -1A, etc. The dotted circle
represents the one-half (1/2) mile radius from the proposed student union as recommended by the Student
Affairs Office as maximum distance for fraternity and sorority locations. The shaded brown areas represent
future campus expansion as outlined in the University Campus Plan of 1967. These areas presently zoned
R-3 and R4 will eventually have to he rezoned to P-1 Institutional District for University expansion.
The cross hatched purple area between Arkansas and Gregg Streets is the only presently zoned R-4 considered
suitable for fraternity and sorority uses. The cross hatched orange areas along Razorback and West
Cleveland are suggested R-4 areas from present R -LA zoning by the Student Affairs Office for possible
fraternity and sorority use. The shaded yellow areas presently R-3 and R-2 are suggested urban renewal
areas which could also be, with rezoning, used for fraternities and sororities, The south urban renewal
area is outside the one-half (1/2) mile radius but most of the north urban renewal area would be inside the
one-half (1/2) mile radius. The dotted area is brown north of Cleveland could possibly be rezoned, with
an extension of Razorback Road, to utilize the presently land -locked land between Sunset and Hall for
fraternities and sororities with buffers.
I am submitting copies of these remarks to both proponents and opponents of the specific rezoning request n
pending at Hall and Cleveland. The discussion of this zoning plan will be on the May 20 agenda. It
would be nay suggestion that the plan be discussed and modifications, if any, suggested, then the zoning
plan submitted to the Planning Commission Sor study and recommendation back to the City Board. Upon
completion of this process, the specific rezoning request at Hall and Cleveland can be considered.
I Attorneys A. D. McAllister and Lewis Jones appeared before the Directors with reference to discussing the
Land Use
Plan for proposed zoning plan of the property located around the University of Arkansas. .They were joined by
Cam s 'residents of the area north of the campus in the vicinity of Razar!ack Road, Hall and Sunset Streets
Area and members of the Delta Nu House Corporation of Kappa Alpha Theta.
i After a very long discussion from both sides, Director Melton moved to refer'the land Use Plan for The S2
Referred to '
Planning C,mpus Area to the Planning Commission with the specific charge! To consider this specific Land Utse Plan,
ng Document Recommendation of appropriate Univerbity of Arkansas Officials, viz. President of the University,
Commission. CAmpus Planning Commettee, And Campus Planning Consultants and to incorporate into our new Master Land Use
Plan.
The motion was seconded by Director McFerran and passed unanimously.
