BACKGROUND: On January 14, 1992, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for St. Michaers Church allowing for the construction of a church on 4.3 acres of this site. No construction activity had taken place and on May 3, 2004, a revision to the Conditional Use Permit for St. Michaers Episcopal Church was approved by the Little Rock Planning Commission. The revision was to allow the previously approved site area to expand by 2.2 acres. The applicant requested a revision to the previously FILE NO.: Z -5535-C Cont. approved Conditional Use Permit to include the additional 2.2 acre site and the two single-family homes located on it. The acquisition of the second parcel made possible a less dense site design. The parking lots and building footprints were `broken uo' so as to make better use of the topography and to provide a better and more natural site development. The two houses were to remain single-family homes for the immediate future and used as a parsonage or caretaker's house. Future plans included the conversion of the structures into classroom or office space as a part of the church program, a youth or retreat center or removed and replaced with a distant third or fourth phase of program development which would require return to the Commission. The church building and associated parking have been constructed. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: The applicant is seeking as separate items on this agenda a request for the creation of a two lot plat (S-1580) and a revision to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (Z -5535-B).

The applicant is seeking the rezoning of this 1.61 acres from R-2, Single-family to POD to allow the existing single-family structures to be converted to an office use. The development is proposed with a shared drive extending from the existing St. Michaels driveway into the site from the west. The new drive is proposed with parking located along the drive and adjacent to the existing structures. The structures contain a total of 3,960 square feet of gross floor area and each has a carport area which has been proposed for enclosure for additional office area. The site plan includes the placement of 22 on-site parking spaces. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site contains two vacant single-family homes. There is a church located to the southwest which the office development proposes to share a driveway with. There is a significant grade difference between the church and the homes with the homes sitting on top a ridge. Access to the homes is presently from Cantrell Road through a shared driveway. The church has a separate drive extending from Cantrell Road. Other uses in the area included multi -family, commercial and office uses. There is a large tract of undeveloped property to the northeast previously approved as a PRD for condominium housing. To the northwest are office uses and a recently approved health studio and spa.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: preserving as many existing fulfilling Landscape Ordinance trees of six (6) inch caliper or (July 26, 2007) The applicant was present. Staff presented an overview of the proposed development stating there were a number of outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff stated the proposed drive was located within the typically required 25 -foot landscape strip per the Highway 10 Design Overlay District along the eastern edge of the property. Staff questioned the proposed use of the property, if the existing carport structures would be enclosed for additional square footage and if the site would contain a dumpster facility. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the development would be required to remove the drive extending to the site from Cantrell Road. Staff also stated a grading permit would be required prior to any clearing on the site. Staff stated the turning radius for the new driveway into Lot 2 should have a minimum radius for a SU -30 vehicle. Staff stated the new drive should meet the existing drive at a 90 degree angle. Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated an automatic irrigation system would be required to water landscaped areas. Staff stated the City Beautiful Commission recommended preserving as many trees as feasible on the site and credit toward fulfilling typical landscape ordinance requirements could be given when preserving trees of six inch caliper or larger. Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing most of the issues raised at the July 26, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has indicated one user will occupy both structures, revised the plan to eliminate the encroachment into the eastern landscape strip and indicated the existing drive from Cantrell Road will be removed. A dumpster is not proposed for the site and FILE NO.: Z -5535-C (Cont. the carport structures will be enclosed for additional square footage. The drive has also been revised to meet the existing drive at a 90 degree angle. The turning radius for the new driveway into Lot 2 is not sufficient for an SU -30 vehicle to turn into and out of Lot 2 into the access easement. Staff recommends the turning radius be increased to allow for vehicles to maneuver the site. The applicant is seeking a deferral of the required sidewalk placement along Cantrell Road. Staff is supportive of the deferral request for the sidewalk placement since sidewalks are not located on adjacent properties. The request is to rezone the property from R-2, Single-family to POD to allow an office user to occupy these two existing structures. The structures contain a total of 3,960 square feet of gross floor area and each of the structures has a carport which is proposed for enclosure for additional office area. This area has been included in the total square footage of gross floor area on the site. The site plan indicates the placement of 22 on site parking spaces. Based on parking typically required for an office development 9 parking spaces would typically be required. The parking as indicated is more than adequate to meet the typical minimum ordinance requirements. The site plan indicates the placement of a single sign located near the drive entrance to the development. The sign is proposed with a maximum height of six feet and a maximum sign area of 72 square feet. The signage proposed is consistent with signage allowed per the Highway 10 Design Overlay District. The structures are existing on the site. The eastern most structure is located within the 100 -foot building setback as typically required by the Highway 10 Design Overlay District. Presently the structure is located outside this typical setback but with the right of way dedication per the Master Street Plan the structure will fall within the setback. The Highway 10 Design Overlay District typically requires a landscape strip of 25 -feet around the perimeters of the site with the exception of the street buffer which is required at 40 -feet. The existing street buffer is more than adequate to meet the typical minimum ordinance requirements. The eastern buffer appears to be less than the 25 -foot minimum at the northern edge of the structure by a few feet. The days and hours of operation are proposed as typical office hours or from S am to 6 pm Monday through Friday. The company provides design layout for various publications. The actual printing takes place off site. Staff is supportive of the request. Although the existing structures do not fully comply with the typical standards of the Highway 10 Design Overlay District the structures are existing and no building modifications are proposed. Staff does not feel the rezoning of the site from R-2, Single-family to POD to allow the existing structures to be used as office uses will significantly impact the area. I.
