Council approves cleanup lien, private club permit and three rezonings
Summary
The North Little Rock City Council passed a cleanup-lien resolution and approved a private club permit and three rezoning ordinances on motions and roll-call votes with no public comments recorded on the items.
The North Little Rock City Council on March 21 voted to certify a cleanup lien for filing with the Pulaski County tax collector, approved a private club permit for a Maumelle Boulevard location and adopted three rezoning ordinances.
The council opened a public hearing on Resolution R2556, which would certify the amount of a cleanup lien to be filed against property at 1000 North F Street. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. On a roll-call vote the resolution passed with all voting members present recording “yes.”
Council members then approved Ordinance O25-20, an application from Kim Maxwell Investments for a private club at 9201 Maumelle Boulevard. Councilmember Baxter called the item; there was no recorded opposition from neighboring businesses during the discussion and the ordinance passed on the vote and on an emergency measure.
The council next considered three rezoning ordinances. O25-21 rezoned property at 5524 Camp Robinson Road from R-1 to R-4; O25-22 rezoned property east of Kim Drive adjacent to the Country Club of Arkansas phases 25A and 25C from I-2 to RU and R-5. The council moved to suspend additional readings and adopted each ordinance; each passed on roll-call votes and, where recorded, on emergency measures.
Consent items R2553–R2555 were accepted by voice vote earlier in the meeting.

Why it matters: The rezonings and private-club permit change land-use and licensing permissions that affect property owners and nearby businesses; the cleanup-lien certification begins an administrative step to place a lien with the county tax office.
What’s next: The ordinances adopted on emergency may take effect immediately under the city’s emergency-adoption rules; property owners and applicants typically receive administrative notices from the city clerk about effective dates and filing requirements.
