AR.
A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts
adjoining property. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide; Section 15-96 (a.). This
site is located within the designated mature area; therefore, this amount can be reduced to

purposes are to be of an evergreen variety with a maximum spacing of fifteen feet (15')
for trees and three feet (3') for shrubs. Section 15-95 (4.)
3. The city official may grant not more than a twenty-five (25) percent reduction of these
provisions for developments within mature areas; Section 15-85 (c.)
VARIANCE RE VESTED:
a. The reduction of the perimeter landscaping strip along the northern perimeter of
the site; proposed at three foot, one inch (3'-1") a reduction of three foot nine
inches (3'-9").
b. The reduction of the perimeter landscaping strip along the southern perimeter of
the site; proposed at two foot, six inches (2'-6") a reduction of four foot, three
inches (4'-3").
c. The elimination of the evergreen shrubs along Main Street. Forty-one (41) shrubs
total are required; Thirty (30) are to be of an evergreen species.
d. Requesting more than a twenty-five percent (25%) reduction allowable by city
staff.
FINDINGS:
The site contains a lot that is currently vacant. Originally, the north half of the property
was a Center Theater building, the south portion was a brick fagade and they both have
been torn down. The parking lot will serve the Exchange Bank. The Exchange Bank is
located on the corner of Main Street and 5th Street; also known as 5 Main Place. The
parking lot will also serve the Exchange Bank Annex Building to the north of the 5 Main
Place. The buildings have a long-term lease to various State agencies and will be used as
professional office buildings.
The applicant is proposing to redevelop the site for the use of a private parking lot. Access
to the parking lot will be from the platted alley along the eastern side of the property only.
Zero vehicular access will be taken off of Main Street. The parking lot complies with the
Buffer Ordinance and the Main Street Overlay District Requirements; however, is unable to
comply with all of the Landscape Ordinance requirements.
The landscape Ordinance requires a perimeter landscape strip along the northern, southern,
and western perimeters of the site. This site is located within the designated "Mature Area"
of the City of Little Rock; therefore, can be reduced to six foot nine inches (6'-9"). The
applicant is deficient on the amount of landscape strip along the northern perimeter and the
southern perimeter. The north side reflects three foot, one inch (3'-1") deficient three foot
nine inches (3'-9''). The south side reflects two foot six inches (2'-6") deficient four foot
three inches (4'-3"). The required number of trees and shrubs�re being proposed. They
are simply shifted to other areas of the site. Ak, „_
The only other deficiency on the site is located along Main Street. The landscape
Ordinance requires forty-one (41) shrubs along the perimeter; seventy-five percent (75%)
of these shrubs must be of an evergreen variety. The applicant is concerned about the
parking lot being enclosed and thus not as safe. The applicant would prefer to leave the
visibility of the parking lot open from the street. The applicant feels this will decrease the
likelihood of crime if it's more visible from the street. The applicant is proposing twenty
(20) Feather Reed Grass in this area of concern. Therefore, the applicant is deficient
twenty-one (21) evergreen shrubs (after applying the twenty-five percent (25%) reduction
for the designated "Mature Area".
Staff feels that overall this is an upgrade to the area and a good use of the property. The
parking lot installation will include the addition of new permeable green space, new trees,
and new shrubs. The missing and damaged street trees will also be replaced in conjunction
with this application.
STAFF RECOIV M ENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed variance request.

CBC Case 622 423 Main Street, The Exchange Bank
Staff opened the hearing for the variance request located at 423 Main Street. The site
contains a lot that is currently vacant. Originally, the north half of the property was a
Center Theater building, the south portion was a brick fagade and they both have been torn
down. The parking lot will serve the Exchange Bank. The Exchange Bank is located on
the corner of Main Street and 5th Street; also known as 5 Main Place. The parking lot will
also serve the Exchange Bank Annex Building to the north of the 5 Main Place. The
buildings have a long-term lease to various State agencies and will be used as professional
office buildings.

The applicant is proposing to redevelop the site for the use of a private parking lot. Access
to the parking lot will be from the platted alley along the eastern side of the property only.
Zero vehicular access will be taken off of Main Street. The parking lot complies with the
Buffer Ordinance and the Main Street Overlay District Requirements; however, is unable to
comply with all of the Landscape Ordinance requirements.
The landscape Ordinance requires a perimeter landscape strip along the northern, southern,
and western perimeters of the site. This site is located within the designated "Mature Area"
of the City of Little Rock; therefore, can be reduced to six foot nine inches (6'-9"). The
applicant is deficient on the amount of landscape strip along the northern perimeter and the
southern perimeter. The north side reflects three foot, one inch (3'-1") deficient three foot
nine inches (3'-9"). The south side reflects two foot six inches (2'-6") deficient four foot
three inches (4%3"). The required number of trees and shrubs are being proposed. They
are simply shifted to other areas of the site.
The only other deficiency on the site is located along Main Street. The landscape
Ordinance requires forty-one (41) shrubs along the perimeter; seventy-five percent (75%)
of these shrubs must be of an evergreen variety. The applicant is concerned about the
parking lot being enclosed and thus not as safe. The applicant would prefer to leave the
visibility of the parking lot open from the street. The applicant feels this will decrease the
likelihood of crime if it's more visible from the street. The applicant is proposing twenty
(20) Feather Reed Grass in this area of concern. Therefore, the applicant is deficient
twenty-one (21) evergreen shrubs (after applying the twenty-five percent (25%) reduction

parking lot installation will include the addition of new permeable green space, new trees,
and new shrubs. The missing and damaged street trees will also be replaced in conjunction
with this application. Staff recommends approval of the proposed variance request.
Commissioner Warren inquired about the surroundings properties. The Landscape
Architect, Cindi Drilling, explained the landscape design in detail. The vertical elements of
vegetation were discussed. Currently, the Landscape Ordinance doesn't specifically
address vines screening vertically. It was agreed the applicant appears to be screening,
visually with the `Climbing' Star Jasmine being planted in the small landscape areas next
to the two buildings. Commissioner Warren inquired about the building owner agreeing to
the vegetation growing on their building; had permission been granted. It was noted the
species was not an vasive species and Mr. Bob East spoke regarding the property being on
the Historic Registy and the intentions. The building will house a portion of the
Department of Education for the state of Arkansas.

Commissioner Cole inquired whom would be maintaining the landscaping. Mr. Bob East
noted the State of Arkansas would be responsible for maintenance. The Landscape
Architect, Cindi Drilling, noted although not required, the site would have an automatic
irrigation system. Discussion commenced regarding the use of the parking lot from
non -employees. The applicant noted there was no vehicular access off of Main Street and
the only access was from an alley. The alley isn't highly visible; therefore, the applicant
will not need a vehicular gate.

Second: Commissioner Homeyer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
The CBC inquired about the status of a previous landscape variance request at 9911 I-30, Crain

system; as opposed to the CBC. City staff will report on the site at next months CBC meeting.
