Staff Analysis:
The C-4 zoned property located at 10800 Bass Pro Parkway is occupied by a one-
story commercial building which is under construction. The property is located at
the corner of Bass Pro Parkway and Gateway Grove Loop. The commercial building
is located within the front half of the lot and will have paved parking in the front
(south) and rear (north) of the building. The majority of the parking will be located
at the rear of the building. Access drives will be located along the western (Gateway
Grove Loop) and southern (Bass Pro Parkway) property lines. The commercial
building will house four (4) tenants.
The tenant within the easternmost portion of the commercial building (Pie Five Pizza
Co.) is requesting to install a wall sign on the rear of the building in addition to wall
signage on the front facade. The proposed wall sign on the rear of the building will
be 4.33 feet by 15.67 feet (67 square feet) in area. The portion of the rear fagade
occupied by the restaurant will be 18 feet by 40 feet (720 square feet).
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: A (CON'T.)
Section 36-557(a) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires that all on -premise wall
signs be located on building sides which have street frontage. Therefore, the
applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance requirement to allow the wall
sign on the rear (northern) fagade which has no street frontage.
Staff .is not supportive of the requested sign variance. Staff does not feel that the
request is reasonable. The main identifying signage will be on the front of the
building facing Bass Pro Parkway. Staff feels that this signage will be adequate
enough to direct patrons to the business. Although the majority of the parking for
the site will be at the rear of the building, staff does not feel that the amount of wall
signage as proposed will be needed for business identification. Staff could support
smaller, minimal signage on the entry doors or windows, or between the entry doors
on the rear fagade of the building. Staff does not believe that the amount of wall
signage proposed for the rear fagade of the building is warranted in this case.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the requested sign variance, as filed.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
(August 29, 2016)
Staff informed the Board that the application needed to be deferred to the September
26, 2016 agenda, based on the fact that the applicant failed to complete the
notifications to surrounding property owners.
The item was placed on the consent agenda and deferred to the September 26, 2016
agenda. The vote of 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
(September 26, 2016)
Staff informed the Board that the application needed to be deferred to the October 31,
2016 agenda, based on the fact that the applicant failed to complete the notifications
to surrounding property owners. Staff explained that the notices were incomplete
based on the fact that the signatures were obtained seven (7) days late and that the
notice form was not completely filled out, including the date and time of the public
hearing. The issue of deficient notice was discussed. Debra Weldon, City Attorney
noted that the notice needed to be done correctly to ensure due process.
A motion was made to defer the application to the October 31, 2016 agenda. The
vote was 4 ayes, 0 nays and 1 absent. The application was deferred.

DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: A (CON'T.)
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (October 31, 2016)
Robert Byford was present, representing the application. There were no objectors
present. Chairman Yates suggested to the applicant that they meet with staff and the
property developer to attempt to resolve the sign issue by possibly not installing one (1)
of the allowed two (2) ground -mounted signs and transferring that signage to the rear of
the building. Mr. Byford requested to defer the application to the December 12, 2016
agenda to attempt to work out the issue. A motion was made to defer the application to
the December 12, 2016 agenda. The motion passed by a vote of 3 ayes, 0 nays and 2
absent. The application was deferred.
Staff Update:
On November 3, 2016 the applicant submitted a letter to staff revising the application.
The applicant notes that no ground -mounted sign will be installed along the Gateway
Grove Loop (northwestern) property line in exchange for wall signage on the rear building
fagade (subject to normal code requirements). The applicant added the two (2) middle
tenant spaces to the request for wall signage on the rear fagade.
Staff is supportive of the revised application. Staff believes the proposed "trade-off' by
not installing a ground -mounted sign along the Gateway Grove Loop frontage in
exchange for the wall signage on the rear building fagade is reasonable. The proposed
wall sign for Pie Five Pizza Co. on the rear fagade does not exceed ten (10) percent of
the fagade area occupied by the restaurant.
Revised Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the revised application to allow wall signage without street
frontage, subject to the following conditions.-
1.
onditions:
1. There will be no ground -mounted signage installed along the Gateway Grove Loop
frontage of the properly.
2. Wall signage for the Pie Five Pizza Co. occupancy and the two (2) middle tenant
occupancies on the rear building fagade must not exceed ten (10) percent of the
fagade area occupied by each individual tenant.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
(December 12, 2016)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the
item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff recommendation"
above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda
and approved as recommended by the vote of 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.

To whom it may concern:
Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe is asking for a sign variance to allow for a
wall sign on the rear facade of their suite. The rear of the building is
highly visible from the interstate as seen in the application's photos.
Without a sign on the rear primary visibility will be lost and will be a
detriment to the business's success.
The size of the sign we are proposing is smaller than the front and side
signs that have been permitted, but is large enough to be adequately seen
from the interstate.

Owner: NNN 400 Capitol Center, LLC
Applicant: John Martin, Moses Tucker Real Estate
Address: 400 W. Capitol Avenue
Description: Northeast corner of Capitol Avenue and Broadway Street
Zoned: UU
Variance Requested: A variance is requested from the sign provisions of Section
36-342.1 to allow a ground sign in the UU zoning district.
Justification: The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter.
Present Use of Property: Office
Proposed Use of Property: Office
STAFF REPORT

Public Works Issues:
No Comments.
Staff Analysis:
The UU zoned property located at 400 W. Capitol Avenue is occupied by a multi-
story office building. The property is located at the northeast corner of W. Capitol
Avenue and Broadway Street. A parking deck is located on the north side of the
building with access from W. 4t" Street. The building is occupied by Regions Bank
and other multiple office tenants.
There is a concrete vent structure at the southwest corner of the building (ground -
level), as noted on the attached site plan. The concrete vent structure is
approximately 7.5 feet in height and is located above a retaining wall. The overall
height (vent structure and retaining wall) is approximately 11 feet above the sidewalk
area. The applicant proposes to place signage on the south and west sides of the
vent structure, facing W. Capitol Avenue and Broadway Street. The sign on each
side will be approximately 41 square feet in area, including the street
number/address of the property. The sign will contain individual names of
businesses within the building. Staff considers the proposed signage a ground -
mounted sign.
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: C (CON'T.)
Section 36-342.1(C )(11) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires that ground -
mounted signs be reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the ground -mounted sign.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as reasonable.
The applicant is proposing to place signage on an existing concrete vent structure
which sits approximately six (6) to seven (7) feet away from the building, at the
building's southwest corner. Signage previously existed on the vent structure. The
amount of signage will be very minimal, with only approximately 41 square feet
facing each of the two (2) street frontages. The sign will not be out of character with
other ground -mounted signs along Broadway Street. There is a larger ground -
mounted sign for Arvest Bank at the southwest corner of this intersection, with other
ground -mounted signs to the south along Broadway Street. Staff believes the
proposed sign will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general
area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow a ground -mounted
sign, subject to a permit being obtained for the sign.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (October 31, 2016)

RE: Regions Center -400 W. Capitol Ave
Zoning Variance
Dear Monty:
The purpose of this letter is to provide a zoning variance application for the installation of a monument
sign to be located at the corner of W. Capitol Ave and Broadway at the Regions Center located at 400 W.
Capitol Ave. The reason this application is being made is because that the property is zoned Urban Use
and the proposed monument sign is not permitted. The proposed monument sign would not be
attached to the base of the building, but instead would be attached to an existing concrete structure as
shown on the attached illustrations. We believe the proposed application and installation of the
monument is appropriate as it utilizes an existing structure that is not unsightly within the boundaries of
the property and does not place the monument sign on the ground.
The proposed monument sign will attach to the existing concrete structure and will consist of a metal,
powder coated surface in a zinc colored finish. The sign will consist of two metal panels, one facing
Broadway and one facing W. Capitol. Each panel will have five individual sign panels for company
names. The sign frame will protrude approximately 5" beyond the concrete structure. The individual
panels will protrude approximately 2" from the metal panels. The individual panels will have 2" brushed
aluminum stand offs with %Z' thick acrylic panels. The proposed monument sign will also include the
building address along the top portion of the sign using the Buildings standard logo.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Staff Analysis:
The C-3 zoned property at 4910 Kavanaugh Blvd. is occupied by two (2) one-story
commercial buildings. There is paved parking between the two (2) buildings as well
as along the north, east and west sides of the northernmost building. There is a total
of 41 parking spaces on the site. There are two (2) paved driveways from
Kavanaugh Blvd., which serve as access.
On May 23, 2016 the Board of Adjustment approved a parking variance to allow
3,750 square feet of the southernmost building as a restaurant use. The restaurant
is to be open from 4:30 P.M. to 12:30 A.M., seven (7) days a week. Most of the
other uses within these two buildings will not be open during these times. With the
addition of the restaurant use, Section 36-502(b)(3)c. of the City's Zoning Ordinance
requires a minimum of 57 parking spaces for the two (2) buildings combined. There
is a total of 10,000 square feet for the two (2) buildings.
The parking variance was approved with the following conditions:
1. A maximum of 3,750 square feet of the two (2) existing buildings may be
utilized as a restaurant use.
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: 1 (CON'T.)
2. The hours of operation for the restaurant use are limited to the evening hours
after 4:30 P.M.
The applicant is requesting to amend the previously approved application by adding
a 12 foot by 34 foot (408 square feet) outdoor dining area at the southwest corner of
the southernmost building, along Kavanaugh Blvd. The outdoor dining area will add
24 additional seats to the restaurant use. The outdoor dining area will be set back
3.7 feet from the front (west) property line. The outdoor dining area will be enclosed
with a short fence. The addition of the outdoor dining area brings the off-street
parking requirement to 41 spaces for the restaurant use and 61 spaces for the
overall site (restaurant and other uses).
Staff continues to be supportive of the requested amended parking variance. Staff
feels the variance request is reasonable, given the fact that 41 parking spaces
currently exist on the site. The restaurant use alone requires 41 parking spaces. If
the other uses on the property are closed a majority of the time when the restaurant
is in operation, parking will not be an issue. Staff believes a slight overlap in the
hours of operation will also create no parking issues. There is also some additional
on -street parking to the north along Kavanaugh Blvd., and Van Buren Street. Staff
believes the use of a portion of the southernmost building as a restaurant with
outdoor dining with the existing parking arrangement will have no adverse impact on
the adjacent properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested amended parking variance, subject to
the following conditions:
1. A maximum of 3,750 square feet of the two (2) existing buildings may be
utilized as a restaurant use (with 408 square feet of outdoor dining space).
2. The hours of operation for the restaurant use are limited to the evening hours
after 4:30 P.M.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
(December 12, 2016)
Staff informed the Board that the application needed to be deferred to the February
27, 2017 agenda to allow the objectors an opportunity to pursue an
appeal/interpretation of Section 36-298(8)e. of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Staff
noted that this issue as raised by the objectors needed to be resolved prior to the
parking variance being addressed.
The item was placed on the consent agenda and deferred to the February 27, 2017
agenda by the vote of 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.

The required fire separation distance (building to property line) prescribed by the
building code terminates at five (5) feet. Buildings are allowed to be closer than
five (5) feet if they have properly constructed fire walls which provide the requisite
one (1) hour fire resistance rating. When buildings are five (5) feet or more from
the property line, the requirement no longer applies to the wall itself, only the
projections such as eaves or overhangs.
Openings such as doors and windows are limited when the exterior wall is three (3)
feet from the property line, and are prohibited when the exterior wall is less than
three (3) feet from the line. There is no restriction on openings when the exterior
wall is more than three (3) feet from the property line.

Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 1815 N. Jackson Street is occupied by a one-story brick
and frame single family residence. The property is located on the east side of
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: 2 (CON'T.)
N. Jackson Street, north of Cantrell Road. A one -car wide driveway is located at the
southwest corner of the property. A detached garage structure is located within the
rear yard area at the southeast corner of the lot. The lot contains a 30 foot platted
front building line.
The applicant proposes to remove the existing residential structure from the property
and construct a new two-story single family house, as noted on the attached site
plan. The front wall of the proposed residence will be located 37.5 feet to 36.5 feet
back from the front (west) property line. A six (6) foot by eight (8) foot front porch
(unenclosed) will be located 29 feet to 29.5 feet from the front property line, crossing
the platted front building line by 0.5 foot to one (1) foot. The house will be located
4.5 feet from the south side property line and 15.5 feet from the north side property
line. A proposed carport (one-story, unenclosed) will be located on the north side of
the residence. The carport will be 14 feet by 22 feet in area, and will be located 1.5
feet from the north side property line. The proposed residence will be located
approximately 30 feet from the rear (east) property line. A one-story carport
(unenclosed) will be located at the northeast corner of the lot. A one -car wide
driveway at the northwest corner of the lot will extend along the north side of the
residence to the carport structure.
Section 36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum side
setback of five (5) feet. Section 31-12(c ) of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that
building line encroachments be reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting variances from these ordinance standards to
allow the new residence with reduced side setbacks and which crosses a front
platted building line.
Staff is supportive of the requested side setback and building line variances. Staff
views the request as reasonable. The requested variances are very minor in nature
and should not be out of character with other residences in this area. The proposed
carport on the north side of the residence will be unenclosed on its north, east and
west sides which will lessen its visual impact on the adjacent property. Additionally,
the proposed porch on the front of the structure will be unenclosed on its north, south
and west sides. With the slight curvature to N. Jackson Street, the proposed
residence with front porch will not have the appearance of being out of alignment
with the other homes to the north and south. Staff believes the proposed side
setback and building line variances will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties or the general area.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to complete
a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the platted front building line for the proposed
residence. The applicant should review the filing procedure with the Circuit Clerk's
office to determine if the replat requires a revised Bill of Assurance.
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: 2 (CON'T.)
D. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested setback and building line variances,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the front platted
building line as approved by the Board.
2. The carport structure on the north side of the residence must remain
unenclosed on its north, east and west sides.
3. The front porch structure must remain unenclosed on its west, north and
south sides.
4. Guttering if applicable, must be provided on the carport structure to prohibit
water run-off onto the adjacent property to the north.

We are planning to build a new construction single family dwelling on Lot 47 of the
Shadowlawn addition at 1815 North Jackson Street with the attached Legal description
proposing our request. The house is planned as a 2 story with a master bedroom
downstairs; this poses our toughest obstacle in design on our small lot. Most lots in this
area range from 140' to 150' deep, we are working with a lot that is 136' deep on the
long side. A main level Master bedroom, covered parking and security were three of our
most important design focuses as we plan to live in this house past retirement. We have 2
proposed open (unenclosed) carports, supported by columns and no outside walls which
will help preserve the view of this small lot. The positioning of the house will allow 15'
6" on the North side of the house to the property line. We thank you for reviewing this
proposal and humbly ask for approval.

Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 37 Wingate Drive is occupied by a one-story brick and
frame single family residence. The property is located on the south side of Wingate
Drive, west of N. Mississippi Street. The property backs up to W. Markham Street.
The rear yard of the property is located approximately eight (8) feet above the grade
of W. Markham Street. Existing trees are located between the rear property line and
the pavement of W. Markham Street. The rear yard of the property is fenced with
chain-link and wood fencing.
The applicants propose to construct an eight (8) foot high wood fence along the rear
(south) property line where a four (4) foot high chain-link fence currently exists. With
the property backing up to W. Markham Street, the applicants are proposing the
eight (8) foot high fence for security purposes and to reduce the noise from traffic
along the roadway. The proposed eight (8) foot high fence will only be located along
the rear (south) property line. All other existing fencing will remain.
Section 36-516(e)(a)a. of the City's Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum fence
height of four (4) feet for fences located between street rights-of-way and building
setback lines. Six (6) foot high fences are located elsewhere on residential property.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the eight (8) foot high wood
fence along the rear (south), street fronting property line.
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: 3
Staff is supportive of the requested fence height variance. Staff views the request
as reasonable. The proposed eight (8) foot high fence will help secure the rear yard
area of the property as well as reduce the amount of traffic noise generated along
W. Markham Street. As noted previously, the rear property line is located
approximately eight (8) feet above the grade of W. Markham Street, with trees
located between the rear property line and the roadway. Therefore, the fence will
not be very noticeable from the south, or to other surrounding properties. Staff
believes the eight (8) foot high wood fence along the rear (south) property line will
have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested fence height variance, as filed.

Re: 37 Wingate Dr.
Little Rock, AR 72205
We have lived at 37 Wingate Dr., Little Rock, Ar for almost 30 years. Our backyard faces
Markham Street directly across from Brady School. There are sidewalks on both sides of
Markham Street. The existing chain-link fence that runs the width of our property along Markham is four (4)
feet tall.
Over the years we have often thought it would be nice to have a fence to reduce some of the
traffic noise from Markham Street. Another, more urgent, reason has been brought to our
attention. On Wednesday night, September 21, 2016, I let two of our dogs out. It was already dark. When I let
them back I noticed as I gave them each a pat that they had wet
spots on them. I then smelled them. Someone had doused them with lighter fluid. From our kitchen window
we frequently observe people lunging at the fence and taunting them. Before Brady School begins classes and
before they get out of school around 2:30 we keep the dogs inside so that they don't bother the children walking
to and from school.
We would like to be able to put up an eight (8) foot wooden fence across the back of our
property.
Thank you for your consideration.

B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 10 Chevaux Circle is occupied by a one-story brick single
family residence. The property is located at the north end of Chevaux Circle, with
street frontage along the north (side) and east (front) property lines. A concrete drive
(access easement) is located along the west property line, with a garage at the west
end of the residence. A 25 foot platted building line is located along the front (east)
and side (north) property boundaries.
The applicant recently purchased the residence at 10 Chevaux Circle which was
constructed in 2008. The survey received by the new owner indicates that four (4)
points (corners) of the residence cross the north side platted building line. The
encroachments range from approximately two (2) feet to a few inches. The
encroachments are obviously a mistake which was made when the structure was
originally laid out on the lot.
Section 31-12(c) of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that building line
encroachments be reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance standard to allow the
residence which crosses a side platted building line.
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: 4
Staff is supportive of the requested variance to allow the existing encroachments
across the side platted building line. Staff views the request as reasonable. The
encroachments were mistakenly made when the residence was constructed in 2008.
The applicant recently purchased the property and wishes to clean up the error. The
encroachments are very minor in nature, ranging from two (2) feet to only a few
inches. The total building area which crosses the side platted building line amounts
to less than twelve (12) square feet. Additionally, the residence does not appear to
be out of alignment with the residence to the west. Staff believes the encroachments
across the side platted building line have no adverse impact on the surrounding
properties or the general area.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to complete
a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the platted side building line for the
residence. The applicant should review the filing procedure with the Circuit Clerk's
office to determine if the replat requires a revised Bill of Assurance.

completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the side platted building line
as approved by the Board.

Re: Application for Residential Zoning Variance
I recently purchased a home at 10 Chevaux Circle (Lot 1, Block 2, Chevaux Court Subdivision). The
survey reflected that the home when built in 2008 crossed the building line in several places along the
north side. The overage ranges from inches to up to two feet in 4 areas on the North side. This situation
caused much confusion and delays leading up to the closing of the transaction as I struggled to
understand what it meant and how it affected the property and the transaction. It is not a situation that
I would like to repeat in the future if I ever sell this property. Therefore, I would like to officially and
properly remedy the issue by requesting a variance in order to avoid any future additional hardship that
I may encounter related to the property.

Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 6709 Waverly Drive is occupied by a one-story brick and
frame single family residence. The property is located on the south side of Waverly
Drive, between Durwood Road and Iona Street. A one -car wide driveway is located
at the northeast corner of the property. The driveway leads to a small carport at the
northeast corner of the residence. The lot contains a 35 foot front platted building
line. An existing porch/steps extends across the front platted building line by
approximately three (3) feet.
The applicant proposes to construct a one-story addition on the rear of the
residence, as noted on the attached site plan. The proposed addition will be
approximately 15.5 feet by 33.5 feet in area. It will be located five (5) feet back from
the east side property line and 46 feet back from the rear (south) property line. The
applicant also proposes to construct a new porch roof structure on the front of the
residence. The porch roof structure will be five (5) feet by 22 feet in area. It will
extend across the front platted building line by five (5) feet, for a front setback of 30
feet. The front porch will be unenclosed on its north, east and west sides.

building line encroachment will be similar to other minor front building line
encroachments along this portion of Waverly Drive. There will be ample separation
between the proposed building addition and the residence to the east. Staff believes
the proposed side setback and building line variances will have no adverse impact
on the adjacent properties or the general area.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to complete

Re: Application for Residential Zoning Variance @ 6709 Waverly Drive, L.R.
Mr. Moore,
Attached is the application form for a zoning variance for my son's home in Little Rock. We have included six copies of
the survey showing the proposed additions.
We are requesting a variance on both the front and side yard setbacks. At the front we are requesting a variance of 5' to
allow for an extension of a portion of the roof to cover the existing front porch and steps, so a person can park in the
carport and enter the front door without being exposed to the weather (the existing porch and steps will not be altered).
We are requesting a side yard setback variance of 1.5' to change from the current 6.5' required to 5'. This will allow the
owners to build their bedroom addition without having to block the existing kitchen window.
Please let me know if there are any questions about this application.

requirements can be given when preserving trees of six (6) inch caliper or larger.
C. Staff Analysis:
The UU zoned property at 824 S. Broadway Street is occupied by a one-story vacant
restaurant building, located within the west half of the property. The property is
located at the northwest corner of Broadway Street and W. 9th Street. A small
asphalt parking area is located within the east half of the property, between the
building and Broadway Street. An existing driveway from Broadway Street is located
at the northeast corner of the site. Two (2) driveways are located along the W. 9th
Street frontage. A paved alley right-of-way is located along the west property line.
The alley has been used for access in the past. An existing ground -mounted sign is
located at the northeast corner of the property.
The applicant proposes to remove the existing building and re -develop the site as a
restaurant use with drive-thru service. The applicant proposes to construct a new
restaurant building within the south half of the property, as noted on the attached
site plan. The building will have an area of 2,265 square feet. Six (6) paved parking
spaces will be located along the north side of the proposed building. The applicant
proposes continued use of the existing driveway from S. Broadway Street as an
entry/exit drive. The existing alley will be used as an exit only. The two (2) existing
driveways along the W. 9th Street frontage will be removed. A drive-thru order board
will be located at the west end of the building, with a pick-up window on the south
side of the building. The front door of the proposed building will be on the structure's
north side. Landscaped areas will be provided along all perimeters of the site, also
including interior and building landscaping. The applicant proposes to re -use the
existing ground -mounted sign pole with new sign copy (new sign "can"). The sign
will be approximately 160 square feet, maintaining a sign height of approximately 36
feet.
The applicant is requesting several variances from the UU zoning development
criteria of Section 36-342.1 of the City's Zoning Ordinance. The requested variances
are as follows:
1. Section 36-342.1(c )(3) states that no new drive-in or drive through facilities
may be visible or take directed access from a primary street. The proposed
drive-through located on the south side of the building will be visible from
Broadway Street and W. 9th Street.
2. Section 36-342.1(c)(5)b. requires installation of street trees along the
Broadway and W. 9th Street frontages. The applicant is proposing to install
no street trees along Broadway Street, given the fact that the State Highway
Department is not allowing the installation of street trees along Broadway
Street. The applicant notes that street trees will be planted along the W. 9th
Street frontage unless the location of utilities prohibit the plantings. If existing
utilities prohibit the planting of street trees along W. 9th Street, a variance is
requested.
DECEMBER 12, 2016
ITEM NO.: 6 (CON'T.)
3. Section 36-342.1(c)(8) states that ground -level floors of commercial buildings
have a minimum surface area of 60 percent transparent or window display.
The front (east) building elevation will comply with this requirement. The
south side building fagade (facing W. 9th Street) will have approximately 35
percent window area.
4. Section 36-342(c )(7) requires that the primary entrance to a building be
located at street level on the street at the sidewalk. As noted previously, the
primary entry door will be located on the north side of the building.
5. Section 36-342.1(c )(11) requires that any ground -mounted sign be reviewed
and approved by the Board of Adjustment. As noted previously, the applicant
is requesting to re -use a ground sign at the northeast corner of the property,
approximately 36 feet tall with an area of approximately 160 square feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variances. Staff feels that the proposed
redevelopment of the property is reasonable, given the location of the property. The
property is located near the fringe of the UU Zoning District, where the uses become
less pedestrian -oriented and more vehicular -oriented. Fast food restaurants are
located north and northeast (across Broadway Street) of the property. A new
convenience store development (under construction) is located to the north at the
southwest corner of Broadway and West 8th Streets. A drive-thru bank facility is also
located to the north at the northwest corner of West 8th and Broadway Streets.
Additional fast food restaurants with drive-thru service are located to the southeast
(across Broadway Street) at the intersection of W. 9th Street and Broadway Street.
Staff feels that the proposed redevelopment of the property is a quality one, and will
have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or this general area along
Broadway Street, south of West 6th Street. The requested variances are typical of
those granted to other similar developments along S. Broadway Street.
D. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variances from the UU zoning district
and buffer standards, subject to the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the Landscape and Buffer requirements as noted in
paragraph B. of the staff report.
2. A variance form the Landscape ordinance requirements must be
approved by the City Beautiful Commission for the north perimeter
landscape strip prior to application for building permit.
3. Sign permits must be obtained for re -use of the existing ground sign as
well as any wall signage (east and south building facades only).
4. A franchise permit must be obtained for any improvements
(landscaping) within the right-of-way.

opposition. He expressed concern with the size of the proposed restaurant building, with
respect to parking. He discussed where employees would park. He expressed concern
with traffic and driveway location, and made comments related to landscaping.
Stuart Mackey noted that the adjacent convenience store, which is under development,
was rezoned PCD and reviewed under a different process. He explained that the UU
zoning district required no off-street parking, and that there was ample on -street parking
in the area. He noted that Traffic Engineering had approved the driveway location and
the development plan. He briefly discussed the door locations.
Vice -Chair Tucker commented on parking. Staff clarified the landscape and driveway
issues. Chair Yates noted that he had some concerns, but that they were outside the

Carolyn Lindsey -Polk asked if there were any fencing requirements. Staff noted that there
were none.

2. The drive through window will be visible on the 9th street, per the submitted plan.
3. The front door will be facing the north side of the building per the submitted plan.
4. We aim to use the existing sign for the new Popeyes restaurant, per the submitted plan.
5. The highway Dept. doesn't allow any trees on Broadway street, however, we aim to
plant tress on the 9th street, if this doesn't conflict with any utilities that may exist.
