BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 20,614 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on August 2, 2012,
rezoned a property to the north of this site from R-2, Single-family to POD to allow
Pulaski County to construct a new health unit. The request rezoned 3.02-acres of a
5.41-acre parcel owned by the City of Little Rock. The property is owned by the City of
Little Rock which provided a 99-year lease to Pulaski County for the site area containing
the health unit. Within the development the county proposed to construct a new county
health unit and a comprehensive care center. The health unit contained 6,610 square
feet and the comprehensive care center contained 15,775 square feet. The
development was proposed in two (2) phases. The health unit has been constructed.
No activity has taken place for the comprehensive care center.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The applicant is requesting approval for a rezoning from R-2, Single-family to
POD, Planned Office Development, to allow Arkansas Children's Hospital to
construct a new one-story, 11,555 square foot pediatric clinic on this site. The
clinic is planned to serve the southwest Little Rock community. The facility will
be located just east of Dailey Drive and south of Baseline Road. The site is
located just south of the Pulaski County Southwest Health Unit. The plan
includes a future building expansion area of 3,500 square feet. The normal
hours of operation are from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday, with
possible extended hours in the future.
As with the construction of the health unit the City will continue to own the land
and will offer a 99-year lease to Children's Hospital.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The property is heavily wooded with a significant amount of undergrowth. The
area to the north is the Pulaski County Southwest Health Unit and future north
along Baseline Road is a United States Post Office. East of the site is a City of
Little Rock Community Center and police substation. West of the site is vacant
property which was previously a mobile home park. South of the site is a
warehouse building which appears to be vacant.
In the area along Baseline Road are a number of uses including residential,
office and commercial uses. To the northeast is a DHS services building on the
south side of Baseline Road and on the north side of Baseline Road are a
number of uses including office and residential. Northwest of the site is a nursing
home. Further south and west of this site is predominately single-family homes
in the Allendale/Allendale Manor and Fairfield/Fairfield Cove Subdivisions.
