1.0 Overlay Purpose and Boundary
In 2013,the 12"'Street neighborhood in Little Rock was selected as on Imogine Central Arkansas
Jump Start Initiative project,administered by Metroplan. The Jump Start initiative consultant team
created a plan and implementation tool for the redevelopment of the 12"'Street Core around the
Cedar and Pile Street intersection.
Resulting from the 12"'Street Corridor Plan, a series of community meetings resulted in the
validation of the vision for the redevelopment of this core area of the corridor into a walkable,
mixed-use environment supportive of an urban center incorporating local neighborhood businesses
and a mix of housing types.
This document provides the regulatory tools for new development and redevelopment consistent
with the illustrative vision for 1 2"'Street and historic Little Rock Excerpts(concept plans, sketches
and renderings)from the Illustrative Vision are used throughout the document to provide guidance
to property owners, applicants, and developers on the development intent and are not to be
construed as regulatory.
1.1 Purpose and Intent
The pu cse of the Cedar Pine Overlay (CPO) is to implement the vision for a more
walkable,vibrant Cedar Pine Area(hereinafter,"Plan Area-)with a mix of uses by:
(o) Coordinating public and private investments for the greatest effect;
(b) Providing better pedestrian connectivity;and
(c) Creating equitable,sustainable,and affordable development options.
Therefore,the goats of the CPO are to promote a more functional and attractive community
through the use of recognized urban design principles and allow property owners flexibility
in land use,while prescribing a higher level of detail in building design and form than in the
current standards of the Zoning Ordinance (ZO) of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. The
standards in this overlay are not intended to stifle creativity nor over-regulate building
design,but rather encourage better functional urbanism to create higher quality pedestrian
environments along most streets.
1.2 Project Area
The overlay encompasses all parcels within the adopted boundaries of the Plan Area. The
perimeter of the CPO shall include 1-630 to the North, Lewis Street to the West, Maple
Street to the East and 1 4"'Street to the South per the final regulating plan.
1.3 Components of the Overlay
,o The Regulating Plan The CPO map (herein known as Me Regulating Plan;
Attachment 1) is hereby adopted as the official overlay map for the Plan Area.
Within any area subject to the approved Regulating Plan, this CPO becomes the
exclusive and mandatory regulation. It shall establish the following development
standards for all properties'within the Plan Area:
1 Establishment of Character Areas- The Plan Area is distinguished into different
"Character Areas." Each Character Area is intended to create a distinct urban
form based on the illustrative vision for different sections within the Plan Area.
Each Character Area shall establish building form standards,including standards
uan,Pin.0.00y
Pclqa
'Page 6 of 851
Jattuvy,201s
for building height, bulk, location,functional design, and parking. The Regulating
Plan classifies all lots within the Plan Area into one at the following three (3)
Character Areas:
i. Mixed-Use (MU) -The Mixed-Use Character Area creates a more flexible
regulatory environment that allows a range of commercial and residential
building standards that can transition over the long-term in conjunction with
the development of the police substation mixed-use development.
ii. Neighborhood (NB) - The Neighborhood Character Area provides for
multiple types and sizes of residential. Development standards in this
Character Area emphasize existing home preservation and revitalization,
while establishing standards for appropriate residential redevelopment.
Highway Frontage(HMU)-The Highway Mixed Use Character Area creates
a more flexible regulatory environment that allows a range of commercial
and residential building standards that can transition over the long-term in
conjunction with 1-630 highway frontages.
2) Street Designations - The Streets within the CPO shall be classified by street
tYPe-
L The Street Cross Sections shod address vehicular lane widths, number of
lanes, pedestrian accommodation, street tree requirements, on-street
parking,and parkway and median standards. These standards are laid out
in Section 7.
3) Building frontage Standards - Building Frontage designations shall classify
different block frontages based on the pedestrian priority goals of the Illustrative
Vision on the Regulating Plan (Attachment 1)_ They shall be classified into one of
three (3) frontage designations: (i) Pedestrian Priority Frontage with the highest
quality standards for pedestrian-oriented building design;(ii) Pedestrian-Friendly
Frontage that balances pedestrian-oriented building design standards, while
accommodating some service and parking functions; and (iii) General Frontage,
which mainly accommodates service,utilities,and parking functions.
4, Open Space Designations-Open Space within the CPO shall be categorized as
Recommended Open Space. The detailed Open Space Standards for different
open space types ore included in Section 8.0: Open Space Standards and
Attachment 4 of this Code. These standards include general character, typical
size,frontage requirements,and typical uses.
h Development Standards-The text portion of this Code enumerates the development
standards with text and graphics for Character Areas,Frontage Types,building farm,
landscape,building design,signage,streetscape and lighting.
Using this Document
The following basic steps should be followed to determine the uses and development
standards applicable on property within the Plan Area:
I) Review Table 2-1 to evaluate the applicability of the CPO based on the scope of
the proposed redevelopment.
2) Locate the subject property on the CPO Regulating Plan(Attachment 1).
3) Identify the Character Area in which the property is located.
4) Examine the corresponding area standards in the Building Form and Site
Development Standards in Section 4.0 to determine the applicable development
standards and any Special Frontoge standards

employment,housing,and business and personal services. The CPO distriict supports economic
development,sustainable tax base,and lob creation/retention by:(a)providing a streamlined
and simplified approval process; (b) establishing adjacency predictability in the built
environment; lc)offering flexibility to changing market conditions; (d) reducing risk to private
investment/development;(e)synchronizing private investment,/development with public capital
investment palces; and (f)calibrating zoning regulations with vision for redevelopment in the
Levy Plan Area.

Cedar Pine Area lLusbative Vision or Vision
The Illustrative Plan for redevelopment of the Cedar Pine Plan Area. The Illustrative Vision
serves as a meaningful policy guide for Cry officials, City staff, property owners, private
developers, and citizens when considering development/redevelopment decisions in the Plan
Area. The Cedar Pine Area Illustrative Vision includes a number of preferred redevelopment
concepts such as encouraging adaptive reuse of existing buildings,encouraging new mixed use
and urban residential infill growth,improving pedestrian waikability and connectivity,creating
compatible physical scales and transitions, and fostering long-term economic development
through the concept of"place."This Illustrative Vision is a composite of several building scale
illustrations of preferred redevelopment concepts.

Ready frontage are in Section 5.4. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy tor a
retail/commercial use in a Commercial Ready space,the space must comply with all building
and construction codes for commercial uses. The intent of Commercial Ready space is to
provide the flexibility of occupying a space in accordance with market demand and allowing
the use in such space to change to retail/commercial uses accordingly.

4.1 Building Form and Site Development Standards
All parcels within the CPO are assigned ti one o'tree;3)Character.Areas:
1. Mixed-Use
2_ Neighborhood
3. Highway Mixed Use
In addition to standards that apply to all Character Areas, Building Form and Site Development
stondords applicable to each Character Area are described in Sections 4.2-4.4.
The images and graphics in the first subsection of eoch character zone standards are provided as
illustrative of intent and ore advisory only without the power of law. Refer to the standards on the
following pages for the specific Building Form and Site Development Standards.
In addition, the graphics used to illustrate the building form and development standards in each
character zone are NOT intended to indicate exact conditions within each Character Area. Rather
illustrations are conceptual and standards are to be applied based on the specific frontage types
designated along the subject property or site. For example, a specific site may not have frontages
atong all streets as indicated in the illustrations and only the standards applicable to designated
building frontages on the property should be used. In addition, the illustrations may depict other site
elements to establish context and only the standards regulated by the spedfic subsection shall apply.
For example,the Building Placement graphics may depict sidewalks for context purposes only and the
graphic should only be used to establish standards for building placement on the site. Building form
graphics in these sections are N171Th S['elF
4.1 General to Ali Character Zones
(a) Building Frontage Designations: The Building Frontage designations are established on
the Regulating Plan (Attachment 1)to specify certain building form and site development
standards along each street based on the priority placed on pedestrian-orientation. The
Regulating Plan illustrates the Building Frontage designations within the Plan Area. For the
purposes of this code,all Building Frontages ore classified into one of the following three
(3)categories:
i. Pedestrian Priority Frontages - Pedestrian Priority Frontages are intended to provide
the most pedestrian-friendly and contiguous development context. Buildings and sites
along Pedestrian Priority Frontages shall be held to the highest standard of
pedestrian-oriented design and few, if any, gaps shall be permitted in the 'Street
Wall.' Breaks in the street wall may be permitted for courtyards,forecourts,sidewalk
cafes,and pedestrian connections between the individual sites and the public sidewalk.
These street frontages ore the main retal, restaurant, entertainment streets or are
important neighborhood connectors as identified in the Regulating Plan.
1. Specific to Pedestrian Priority Frontages: The area between the building facade
and property line or edge of any existing sidewalk along any street with
Pedestrian Priority Frontage shall be designed such that the sidewalk width shall
be the minimum of the designated street cross section and the remainder of any
setback area shall be paved flush with the public sidewalk. Sidewalk cafes,public
art,landscaping within tree-wells or planters may be incorporated within this area.

ii. Pedestrian-Friendly Frontages- Pedestran-Friendly Frontages are also intended to be
pedestran-oriented with a mostly contiguous development context. However, in some
locat'-ons, where access to a General Frontage street or Alley is not available,
Pedestrian-Friendly Frontages may need to accommodate driveways, parking,
service/utility functions, and loading and unloading. In such cases,Pedestrian-Friendly
Frontages may balance pedestrian orientation with automobile accommodation.
Typically, they shall establish o hybrid development context thot hos o more
pedestron-supportive development context at street intersections and accommodates
auto-related functions and surface parking n the middle of the block. Surface parking
shall be screened from the roadway with a street wall or living fence. Pedestrian-
Friendly Frontages are designated on the Regulating Plan.
iii. General Frontages General Frontages are intended to accommodate more auto-
oriented uses, surface parking, and service functions on a site with a more
suburban/automobile orientation. The General Frontages shall be building frontages
not designated as either a Pedestrian Priority or Pedestrian-Friendly Frontage on the
Regulating Plan.

Corner building street facades along intersections of Pedestrian Priority Frontages and
Pedestrian-Friendly Frontages shall be built to the BIZ for a minimum of 20'from the
intersection along each street or the width of the corner lot, whichever is less and
regardless of the building frontage percentage required along that street. This
requirement shall not prohibit incorporation of curved,chamfered building corners or
recessed entries, or civic/open spaces at such intersections. In addition, this standard
shall apply regardless of the frontage requirement along the intersecting street even if
it's a General Street.

6 Street Design Standards
6.1 Purpose and Intent:The Vision for the CPO recognizes the importance of providing adequate
public infrastructure, which includes an ultimate Street Network of multi-modal streets, and
other needed infrastructure to serve the vision for redevelopment within the Plan Area.
Street design and connectivity is envisioned to support and balance automobile,bicycle, and
walking trips in addition to becoming the"civic"space for development. The"civic"nature of
streets will not only serve private redevelopment,but the community at large and the people
who live in and use it. This section establishes Context Sensitive Solutions for street design and
connectivity.
6.2 Street Designation Categories: in order to service multiple modes of transportation within an
appropriate redevelopment context, streets within the CPO Plan Area are designated under
two major categories:
;0Street Classification: The Street Classification designation establishes stondords for the
actual cross-section of the street itself. The Street Classification Includes information on
automobile,bicycle,pedestrian,and parking accommodation. It typically addresses the
space allocation within the public right-of-way and its emphasis towards different
modes of transportation. Table 6-1 identifies the Street Classification designations
within the Plan Area and provides cross-sections for the different Street Classifications.
6.3 Street Standards: Table 6-1 shall establish standards for all elements within the public right-
of-way including travel lane(s), on-street parking, bicycle accommodation,
streetscape/parkway standards, and sidewalk standards. The standards in the City's
Subdivision Regulations shall apply to the extent that they do not conflict with the standards in
these Attachments and the Illustrative Vision for the CPO. Landscaping within the public right-
of-way shall be per standards in Section 8. Attachment 6 provides recommended cross
sections for public streets within the Plan Area based on available right-of-way and intended
development context per the Illustrative Vision.

7 Open Space Standards
7.1 Open Space Approach: The Illustrative Vision for the CPO recognizes the importance of
providing a network of open spaces with passive and active recreational opportunities. The
open space network will be serviced by an interconnected network of trails and paths for
pedestrians and bicyclists alike, providing desired amenities for residents of Old Town and
adjoining ne.ghborhoods.
The approach to Open Space facilitates the implementation of the Illustrative Vision for the
redevelopment of the Plan Area. This vision for redevelopment is based on the City of Little
Rock's goal to connect the:r already extensive range of recreational and cultural locations with
new trails,pocket-parks,and plazas.The Open Space approach recognizes that in on urban
infill context,the establishment of unique standards is required to ensure quality open spaces
that serve both recreational and plocemaking goals of the Illustrative Vision.
7.2 Open Space Classification: For the purposes of this Overlay, all urban open space shall fall
into one of the following two(2)major classes.
;a! Public Open Space: Open air or unenclosed to semi-unenclosed areas intended for
public access and use. These areas range in size and development and serve to
complement and connect surrounding land uses and code requirements.
;b, Private Common Open Space:A privately owned outdoor or unenclosed area, located
on the ground or on a terrace,deck,porch,or roof,designed and accessible for outdoor
gathering, recreation, and landscaping and intended for use by the residents,
employees,and;ror visitors to the development.
7.3 Open Space Requirements
lai All non-residential development shall provide 4.0 sq.ft_of Public Open Space or Private
Common Open Space for every 100 sq.ft.of non-residential space or fraction thereof.
This standard shall only apply to all site plans 2 acres in size or larger.
All residential development within the CPO shall meet the Private Common Open Space
standards established 'n this Section. Table 7-1 establishes the private common open
space requirement based on the proposed intensity of residential development.
Residential projects numbering less than eight (8) dwelling units are not required to
provide private common open space.
