Planning
The Planning Division provides mid and long range planning, historic preservation reviews and analysis, as well as technical support to the City. The Division prepares reviews and develops reports for Land Use amendments, Master Street Plan amendments, and review of zoning changes requested by various groups. The Planning Division Staff responds to requests for statistics, graphics and Geographic Information System (GIS) products.
The City does prepare 'plans' beyond the City limits. The City of Little Rock has set a Planning Boundary (sometimes called an extra-territorial jurisdiction boundary) that is approximate three (3) miles (as the crow flies) around the City. Within this area the City Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances are enforced. Due to this, the City Master Street Plan and Land Use Plan
are in effect beyond the City limits in the 'Planning Area'. The Land Use Classifications are divided into several groupings by generalized use: Residential, Office, Commercial, Industrial, Mixed Use and Other. The Land Use Plan Map and Master Street Plan/Bike Plan can be found with the 'Interactive Maps' button under "Helpful Information" on the Department's Main Page.
The Division provides the primary staff support for the Little Rock Historic Commission and River Market. The Land Use and Master Street Plan Amendment applications must be completed and returned to our offices at 723 West Markham Street by the filing dates.

Development
The Development Division reviews rezoning applications, subdivision plats, zoning interpretations, landscaping review, site plan reviews, sign and zoning enforcement. The Division provides the primary staff support for the Little Rock Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and City Beautiful Commission. Information and questions about zoning whether actual classifications, allowable uses or reclassification are handled by personnel of this Division, that can be contacted at (501) 371-4844.
Zoning and Subdivision regulations are the principal tools employed by the City of Little Rock in guiding the city objectives and plans to specified goals. They assure compatibility of uses while directing the placement of infrastructure and public services. Platting, rezoning and site development ordinances in the processes involved with rezoning or developing land are administered by this Division. Additionally, use permits, variances and enforcement are dealt with daily. The Division also acts as a resource agency for developers, realtors and other citizens when presented with requests for current zoning, plat status, development standards or statistical information.
Staff has developed a short definition for each zoning district within the Zoning Code to help give an idea of what use each of the Zone Classifications allows.
