therefore, has been established; and
WHEREAS, this governing body understands the grantee and grantor will enter into a
binding agreement which obligates both parties to policies and procedures contained in the

following: The park area defined by the project boundary map, submitted in the application, must
remain in outdoor recreation use in perpetuity, regardless if the property is bought or developed
with matching grant funds; all future overhead utility lines within the project boundary must be
placed underground and the project area must remain open and available for use by the public at
all reasonable times of the day and year; facilities can be reserved for special events, league play,
etc., but cannot be reserved, leased, or assigned for exclusive use, and the project area must be

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE BATESVILLE ZONING DISTRICTS MAP; AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, the Batesville Planning Commission received a request to rezone property on
Harrison Street, identified by the Independence County Assessor as parcel number 11003770016; and
WHEREAS, the Batesville Planning Commission conducted a properly advertised public hearing
on August 7, 2023 to hear public comment about the proposed zoning revision; and,
WHEREAS, the Batesville Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on August 7, 2023, has
determined that the proposed zoning revision is consistent with the Batesville Comprehensive Plan, as
amended, and is in the best interest of the future development of the city; and,
WHEREAS, the Batesville Planning Commission at the same regular meeting, determined that
the adjacent parcel at 3030 Harrison Street, identified by the Independence County Assessor as parcel ID
1100377000E and owned by the City of Batesville, would thereby become an isolated R-1 zoning district
inconsistent with the Batesville Comprehensive Plan and unlikely to ever be use or available for
residential use and should therefore also be rezoned from R-1 to C-1; and,
WHEREAS, the Batesville Planning Commission has recommended that the requested
amendments to the Zoning Districts map be approved by the City Council.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. The Batesville Zoning Districts Map is hereby amended from Single Family Residential (R-1)
to Commercial Community District (C-1) for properties identified by the Independence County Assessor
as parcels] 1003770016 and 1100377000E.
SECTION 2. If any portion or portions of this ordinance are deemed or held to be invalid, such
invalidity shall not affect the remaining portion or portions of this ordinance.
IT IS SO ORDAINED.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have set our hands this , day of 12023.
