Description

John Harvey Baird, the principal appellant, owns Block 9 in Pleasant Hills Addition to the city of Little Rock. The block was formerly zoned for one-family residential use only. Upon Bairds application the citys Board of Directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of nine members of the Planning Commission, rezoned the block to permit its east half to be used for quiet businesses, such as professional offices, beauty shops, libraries, and the like, and the west half for apartments not exceeding three stories in height. This suit was brought by the appellees, neighboring property owners, to set aside the rezoning ordinance. After an extended hearing the chancellor granted the relief sought, holding that the city had acted arbitrarily in changing the classification of the block.
