From the Paper:

"The city of Little Rock is divided into 37 zoning districts, with the exception of the State Capitol Zoning District. It is stated by the Zoning and Subdivision Department:
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 (Zoning & Subdivision, 2005). Zoning is part of the master plan for the city and reflects decisions made as to how certain sections of the city should be used in the plan."
