ORDINANCE NO. 19131 - Z- 7589 -A - Approving a Planned Zoning Development and establishing a Planned Commercial District titled Miller Short -Form PD -C located at 4724 W. 12th Street in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Little Rock; and for other purposes. Planning Commission: 9 yes, 2 no. Staff recommends denial. Synopsis: The applicant proposes to rezone the site from C -3 General Commercial District to PD -C to allow the placement of an automobile dealership on the site. Vice Mayor Hinton stated he had not received any cards from anyone wishing to speak on Item 16 or 17. Director Cazort stated he believed they were held separate because of the staff recommendation of denial on Item 17. Mr. Tony Bozynski briefed the Board saying that on Item 17, this is the proposed reclassification of the property to PDC for proposed auto sales lot. The property is currently zoned C -3 and is along the West 12th Street Corridor. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this item with a vote of 9 to 2. Originally this application was filed as a C -4 request, which is an open display commercial district. During the discussion on the C -4 application, there were concerns raised about the other uses allowed in C -4 and there was no guarantee the sued car lot is used as proposed, at that time the applicants withdrew the C -4 request and it was suggested that they consider coming back with a Planned Development for the property limiting the use to the car sales. The applicant followed through and did file the Planned Development application and that is what is before the Board. At the hearing on the Planned Development Reclassification the applicant did amend his application to limit the number of cars to twenty -five. Originally he was discussing thirty -five to fifty. There will be no repair on the site; there will be two buildings according to the proposal, one small office and a gorge structure for some minor car washing, which total approximately six hundred square feet. The Planning Staff is recommending denial because this is not the type of commercial development that the Corridor needs at this time, and that the use is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood directly to the north there is existing single family, across the street there is a church. Currently the Property is zoned C -3, and staff feels that is appropriate. Commercial designating for this part of 12t Street and would allow uses that are more in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. If that is denied, Item 16 is no longer an issue, because it is a deferral of the Master Street Plan Requirement for the development. Director Pugh asked why this is problem with what is located at 12th and Pine and 12th and Oak. She said those are garages, and ugly cars are sitting out in front. Mr. Bozynski stated those were existing uses that those two locations. The one at W. 12th and Oak is a service station that does auto repair, and the one at Pine and W. 12th is auto repair, and those uses have been in place a number of years. Director Hurst asked why a car lot is considered a more intense use than a garage. Mr. Bozynski stated they would fall under the same zoning classification. He stated that if the garage for example at 12th & Pine wanted to come in, if zoned C -3, it would take a rezoning. Director Adcock stated this is the area where a lot of money has been spent, the Madison Heights Area, and there are doctors offices building up to that area, and then the church which has expanded. She said that the Board has not seen the rehabbing in the 12th and Pine area as in the Madison 11 Little Rock Board of Directors Meeting July 20, 2004 6:00 PM Heights area. Director Stewart asked if any of the neighborhood associations had objected to this application. Mr. Bozynski stated there had been no opposition that normal notification had been made for the C -4 and this current application. At the planning Commission meeting there was an individual who spoke in support, and a petition was submitted form the applicant in support of their request. The Applicants, Marilyn and Larry Miller stated they had a petition form the community and a letter of recommendation form the church directly across the street. The stated they would support the growth and promote opportunity in the community. Ms. Miller stated they wanted to uplift the community, not tear it down and asked the Board for a chance to prove that. She said they would try and be as compatible as possible to the neighbors and to the beautification of the community. Ms. Linda Williams, resident of Madison Heights, and president of the Madison Heights Neighborhood Association, stated they had not heard anything abut the car lot, and felt they should have been notified. She said she was not for or against the project, but just wanted to help keep Madison Heights a nice place to live. Mr. Bozynski stated he did not the Madison Heights Neighborhood Association has registered with the City yet. They would have been notified if they were on the list of neighborhood associations. He stated the list they notified included Capitol Hills, Central High, Downtown, Forrest Hills, Oak Forest, and the War Memorial Neighborhood Associations. He stated that Madison Heights ownership would have been notified as part of the two hundred foot requirement, but did not know if that was local. Director Wyrick asked if the applicant wanted to use the garage, which was listed on their application for repair they would have to come back and revise the PCD, and if they wanted more cars, they would have to come back, and asked if a certain amount of landscaping was required. Mr. Bozynski answered this would be correct. Director Cazort stated he would be more inclined to support this in two weeks to give the applicant time to talk with the Madison heights people, to read the ordinances the first time tonight and then hold them for second reading in two weeks. The applicant stated they sent notification to the Housing Authority at 4801 W. 12th Street, but did not solicit signatures.

The site has been rezoned to allow open display of cars and a Building Permit for office and garage is anticipated in the near future. 17. ORDINANCE NO. 19131 - Z- 7589 -A - Approving a Planned Zoning Development and establishing a Planned Commercial District titled Miller Short -Form PD -C located at 4724 W. 12th Street in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Little Rock; and for other purposes. Planning Commission: 9 yes, 2 no. Staff recommends denial. Synopsis: The applicant proposes to rezone the site from C -3 General Commercial District to PD -C to allow the placement of an automobile dealership on the site. Vice Mayor Hinton stated he had not received any cards from anyone wishing to speak on Item 16 or 17. Director Cazort stated he believed they were held separate because of the staff recommendation of denial on Item 17. Mr. Tony Bozynski briefed the Board saying that on Item 17, this is the proposed reclassification of the property to PDC for proposed auto sales lot. The property is currently zoned C -3 and is along the West 12th Street Corridor. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this item with a vote of 9 to 2. Originally this application was filed as a C -4 request, which is an open display commercial district. During the discussion on the C -4 application, there were concerns raised about the other uses allowed in C -4 and there was no guarantee the sued car lot is used as proposed, at that time the applicants withdrew the C -4 request and it was suggested that they consider coming back with a Planned Development for the property limiting the use to the car sales. The applicant followed through and did file the Planned Development application and that is what is before the Board. At the hearing on the Planned Development Reclassification the applicant did amend his application to limit the number of cars to twenty -five. Originally he was discussing thirty -five to fifty. There will be no repair on the site; there will be two buildings according to the proposal, one small office and a gorge structure for some minor car washing, which total approximately six hundred square feet. The Planning Staff is recommending denial because this is not the type of commercial development that the Corridor needs at this time, and that the use is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood directly to the north there is existing single family, across the street there is a church. Currently the roperty is zoned C -3, and staff feels that is appropriate. Commercial designating for this part of 12t Street and would allow uses that are more in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. If that is denied, Item 16 is no longer an issue, because it is a deferral of the Master Street Plan Requirement for the development. Director Pugh asked why this is problem with what is located at 12th and Pine and 12th and Oak. She said those are garages, and ugly cars are sitting out in front. Mr. Bozynski stated those were existing uses that those two locations. The one at W. 12th and Oak is a service station that does auto repair, and the one at Pine and W. 12t1i is auto repair, and those uses have been in place a number of years. Director Hurst asked why a car lot is considered a more intense use than a garage. Mr. Bozynski stated they would fall under the same zoning classification. He stated that if the garage for example at 12th & Pine wanted to come in, if zoned C -3, it would take a rezoning. Director Adcock stated this is the area where a lot of money has been spent, the Madison Heights Area, and there are doctors offices building up to that area, and then the church which has expanded. She said that the Board has not seen the rehabbing in the 12th and Pine area as in the Madison 4 Little Rock Board of Directors Meeting July 20, 2004 6:00 PM Heights area. Director Stewart asked if any of the neighborhood associations had objected to this application. Mr. Bozynski stated there had been no opposition that normal notification had been made for the C -4 and this current application. At the planning Commission meeting there was an individual who spoke in support, and a petition was submitted form the applicant in support of their request. The Applicants, Marilyn and Larry Miller stated they had a petition form the community and a letter of recommendation form the church directly across the street. The stated they would support the growth and promote opportunity in the community. Ms. Miller stated they wanted to uplift the community, not tear it down and asked the Board for a chance to prove that. She said they would try and be as compatible as possible to the neighbors and to the beautification of the community. Ms. Linda Williams, resident of Madison Heights, and president of the Madison Heights Neighborhood Association, stated they had not heard anything abut the car lot, and felt they should have been notified. She said she was not for or against the project, but just wanted to help keep Madison Heights a nice place to live. Mr. Bozynski stated he did not the Madison Heights Neighborhood Association has registered with the City yet. They would have been notified if they were on the list of neighborhood associations. He stated the list they notified included Capitol Hills, Central High, Downtown, Forrest Hills, Oak Forest, and the War Memorial Neighborhood Associations. He stated that Madison Heights ownership would have been notified as part of the two hundred foot requirement, but did not know if that was local. Director Wyrick asked if the applicant wanted to use the garage, which was listed on their application for repair they would have to come back and revise the PCD, and if they wanted more cars, they would have to come back, and asked if a certain amount of landscaping was required. Mr. Bozynski answered this would be correct. Director Cazort stated he would be more inclined to support this in two weeks to give the applicant time to talk with the Madison heights people, to read the ordinances the first time tonight and then hold them for second reading in two weeks. The applicant stated they sent notification to the Housing Authority at 4801 W. 12th Street, but did not solicit signatures.
