G.SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Frank Riggins was present,representing the application.Staff briefly described the revised PCD application.Staff
noted that the gas pump canopy should be moved back to meet
the 100 foot front setback,as typically required by the
Highway 10 Overlay District.This would also not eliminate
any interior landscaping.Mr.Riggins noted that the
structure would be moved back to meet the 100 foot front
setback.Staff suggested that the canopy and gas pumps be
moved to the second row of parking (from the east)to
provide better circulation.This issue was briefly
discussed.
Mr.Riggins noted that elevations of the proposed canopystructurewouldbeprovided.Mr.Riggins also noted that
there would be no additional ground-mounted signage
proposed.He noted that there would be wall-mounted
signage,attached to the canopy structure.
After the brief discussion,the Committee forwarded the
revised PCD to the full Commission for resolution.
H .ANALYS I S:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff on
October 11,2000.The revised plan provides for the 100footfrontbuildingsetbackastypicallyrequiredbythe
Highway 10 Overlay District.The revised plan also showsthatnointeriorlandscapingwillbeeliminatedwiththe
proposed gas pump facility.Public Works has reviewed therevisedsiteplanandfeelsthattherewillbenointernalcirculationproblems.The applicant also submitted photosofthegaspumpfacilityattheRiverdaleHarvestFoodslocation.This proposed gas pump facility will beidenticaltothatfacility.
As noted in paragraph A.,the proposed gas pump facilitywilloccupy14oftheexistingparkingspacesonthesite.
This will leave 159 parking spaces.The City's Zoning
Ordinance would typically require a minimum of 144 parking
spaces for a grocery store development of this size.
Otherwise,to staff's knowledge,there are no outstanding
issues associated with the revised PCD.Staff feels that
the addition of gas pumps to the existing grocery store

Plannin Division:
This request is located in the Chenal Planning District.
The Land Use Plan shows Single Family for this location.
The applicant requests to operate a day care at thislocation.Normally,a conditional use permit would allow a
day care center in an R-2 Single Family zone.This site isintheHighway10OverlayDistrictanddoesnotmeetthe
minimum size tract for the overlay district.Therefore,
the applicant has filed a Planned Development —Office to
allow the use in the overlay district.A Land Use Plan
amendment is not required as long as the uses arerestrictedtodaycareandsinglefamily,not office.

the issues as raised by staff and discussed by the
Subdivision Committee.The applicant also submitted the
appropriate documentation (deed records)showing that this
property is a legal lot of record and was not part of a
recent illegal subdivision.
As noted earlier,the property is less than the two acre
minimum lot size as typically required by the Highway 10
Overlay District and based on this fact,the proposed
development of the property does not conform to the overlaydistrictstandardswithrespecttobuildingsetbacksand
landscape buffers.The following are the typical Highway
10 Overlay District requirements and the proposed
development data:

The proposed site plan shows a total of 31 parking spacestoservetheproposeddevelopment.A daycare of this size
would typically require a minimum of 31 spaces.
The proposed site plan also shows a ground-mounted sign
along the front property line.The sign must be a
monument-type sign,with a maximum area of 72 square feet
and a maximum height of 6 feet.The sign must be set backatleast5feetfromthefrontpropertyline.
The revised site plan provides the appropriate landscapestripsalongCantrellRoad,Norton Road and the perimeteroftheparkingareaasrequiredbythenewLandscape

ITEM NO.:4 (Cont.)FILE NO.:Z-6926
The survey of this property shows that there is 80 feet of
right-of-way from the centerline of Cantrell Road.The
ordinance would typically require a dedication of 55 feet.
According to Public Works,the additional 25 feet was
obtained by the State because this property is at a
slightly higher elevation than Cantrell Road,and the area
was needed to provide the appropriate slope from the front
property line to the highway.Staff feels that the
applicant should obtain a franchise from the state (and
City,if required)and install landscaping within a portionoftheadditionalright-of-way area.This will help toward
compliance with the typical 40 foot landscape buffer alongthisfrontpropertyline.The applicant will need to
develop a landscape plan (possibly including a berm)forthisareathroughBobBrown,of Planning and Development.
Based on the fact that the property has been a legal lot ofrecordforanumberofyears,is only 0.812 acre in size
and only 159 feet deep,staff feels that the proposed
development is appropriate for the site.The property
would be virtually impossible to develop for any use (other
than single family residential)and comply with the Highway
10 Overlay District standards.The proposed site plan does
conform with the new landscape ordinance.Staff feels that
with compliance with the requirements noted in the next
paragraph (paragraph I.),the proposed day care development
should have no adverse impact on the general area.As
noted earlier,a day care center could typically be
approved as a conditional use permit within single familyresidentialzoning.
I .STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

Development Commercial for an existing restaurant/bar andtoaddC-1 Neighborhood Commercial uses.The property is
currently shown as R-2 Single Family.Previously,the
Planned Development process has been used to analyze site
plan details in order to make existing non-conforming uses
legal without changing the Land Use Plan.Examples of this
process are found on Chicot Road and Hilaro Springs Road.

Shirley Brooks was present,representing the application.Staff briefly described the proposed PD-C.Staff noted
that the applicant needed to provide a future parking planfortheproperty,based on the fact that the right-of-way
dedication and street improvements for Stagecoach Road
would eliminate some of the existing asphalt parking area.Staff suggested that the construction of future on-site
parking be tied to the construction of the future street
improvements.This issue was discussed.Ms.Brooks notedthatshewouldmeetwithstaffanddeviseafutureparking

attempt to revise the site plan to provide the additional
interior landscaping and landscaping along the south

After the discussion,the Committee forwarded the site plan
to the full Commission for final action.
H .ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff on
October 11,2000.The revised plan addresses the issues as
raised by staff and discussed by the Subdivision Committee.
The revised plan provides additional interior landscaping
and the 6.7 foot landscape strip along the south propertyline.
The ordinance requires a minimum of 6 parking spaces for a
branch bank development of this size.The proposed site
plan shows a total of 20 spaces.Staff supports the
parking plan as proposed.
As noted in paragraph A.,the applicant is requesting a
variance for a reduced side yard setback (south side).
Based on the lot'zoning and configuration and the fact
that the preliminary plat allowed the substandard size lot
as a component of the overall commercial subdivision,stafffeelsthatthevariancerequestisreasonable.
Otherwise,to staff's knowledge,there are no outstanding
issues associated with this application.Staff feels that
the proposed site plan will have no adverse impact on the

parking to accommodate the higher capacity.
No exterior building changes proposed on
this R-2,Single Family Residential property
located at 10402 Mabelvale West Road.

This 0.41 acre site is located on the north side of
Mabelvale West Road near the intersection with Train
Station Road.

The proposed site is zoned R-2,Single Family Residential.
The zoning to the north is 0-3,General Office,to the eastisC-l,Neighborhood Commercial,to the south across
Mabelvale is Z-2,Light Zndustrial,and to the west is

parking spaces based on one for each 10 children,and oneforeachemployee.An additional 20 feet of right of way
has to be dedicated according to the Master Street Plan.
That would leave space for only 5 on-site parking spaces.
The applicant has arranged with a church a short distance
to the west for five parking spaces for employees of the
day care.That would represent 50%of the required ten
parking spaces;the ordinance allows 25%off-site parking.
Therefore,a variance would be required for the amount ofoff-site parking.
4 .SCREENING AND BUFFERS
The on-site street buffer along Mabelvale West Road must
average at least 6%of the length of the property but at no
point be less than 9 feet in width.
The land use buffer along the western perimeter must not
drop below a width of 9 feet.The Landscape Ordinance
requires a minimum width east and west of the proposed
vehicular use area of 6.7 feet.
A 6 foot high opaque screen,preferably a wood fence withitssidedirectedoutward,is required along the western

7.STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicant has requested to amend an existing
conditional use permit to increase the number of children
to a maximum of 42.The applicant stated Department of
Human Services had approved that number.Currently the
C.U.P.is for 30 children and was approved in March 1984.
The hours of operation would remain 6 a.m.to 6 p.m.Monday
through Friday.
No changes are proposed to the exterior of the building so
setbacks and heights are not an issue,but the structure
does meet ordinance requirements.
The only site issue is parking.The day care would require
10 parking spaces based on one for each 10 children,and
one for each employee.They would have 6 employees.An
additional 20 feet of right of way has to be dedicated
according to the Master Street Plan.That would leave space
for only 5 on-site parking spaces.The applicant has
arranged in writing with the First Missionary Baptist
church a short distance to the west for five parking spaces
for employees of the day care.That location would be well
within the 300 foot distance allowed for off-site parking.
That would represent 50%of the required ten parking
spaces;the ordinance allows 25%off-site parking.
Therefore,a variance would be required for the amount of
3

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.:9 (Cont.)FILE NO.:Z-4185-A
off-site parking.Staff believes the variance would be
reasonable based on the nature of the use.
The applicant has also asked for a variance to allow up to
two signs on the site,which would be constructed withinofficestandards.One would be mounted on the building and
the other possible location would be a ground sign near the
front property line.The office standard allows a ground
sign with a 64 square foot sign face,six feet tall,and a
wall sign equal to 10%of the front facade.The wall sign
would have to face Mabelvale West.It was agreed by Staff
and the Subdivision Committee that those sizes would be
reasonable.
Staff believes the proposed increase in capacity is
reasonable,including the parking and sign variances,and
would be compatible with the area.
8 .STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
a.Comply with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances.b.Comply with Public Works Comments.c.All exterior lighting must be low intensity and directed
downward and inward to the property and not towards any
residential zoned area.
d.The off-site parking would have to remain a permanent part
of the C.U.P.to keep it valid.
Staff also recommends approval of variances to allow off-site
parking for 50%of the requirement (5 spaces),and for signs
meeting office sign standards.

3.ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The proposal includes a single drive near the center of the
property from Lew Drive into a new parking area on the

proposed church would seat 100 people,which would require
25 parking spaces at the ratio of 1 parking space to every
4 seats.That can be accommodated across the front of thesite.
The applicant has requested up to a one year deferral to
pave the parking area due to financial limitations in
starting the church.

7.STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for a
church using the existing building with new accompanying
parking added in the front.There would be no changes to
the exterior of the building except for an awning over the
entrance area,and so setbacks and height are not issues.
The intended use is a church ministry with Sunday morning
and evening services,a Monday night prayer meeting and
Wednesday night bible study.There would be no day care or
school other than Sunday School.
The applicant also requested that a ground sign be included
in the request.Since the property is zoned R-2,no sign
would be allowed by right.Normally if requested in
conjunction with a C.U.P.,a sign can be permitted within
office sign standards of 64 square feet and six feet
maximum height.The applicant has asked for an eight foot
high sign so it can be more visible from Baseline Road.The
sign face area proposed would be about 40 square feet,
which is much smaller than possible.Staff believes the
eight foot height would be reasonable considering the face
would be only about 40 square feet.
This R-2 zoned site is located within an area that has a
wide mix of uses,from various types of residential,to
office and commercial.However,a church is allowed through

could be made of railroad ties,landscape timbers or
construction grade metal edging.

or business that crosses other property to tie into a
utility sewer main.The closest sewer main to this
location is over a block away from the church.The
utility is in the process of designing a sewer main
extension that would serve not only the church but also
the other residences in this area.We would recommend
that no changes be done at the church to increase the
sewage flow until such time as the sewer main extensionisconstructed.If you have any further questions,

7.STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicant has requested a conditional use permit to
allow a day care for 50 children and a residence for 4
college students as added uses within the existing churchfacilities.There are no exterior changes proposed to the
existing structures or the parking area.So siting criteria
is not an issue.
The day care would operate from 6 a.m.to 6 p.m.Monday
through Friday in the lower floor of the rear annex
facility.The playground would be inside the U-shaped
courtyard surrounded by buildings on three sides,which
would greatly reduce any sounds toward neighboring
residential areas.The existing 25 space on-site parking
area would be used for both staff members and for droppingoffandpickingupchildren.Since the day care would
operate other than during normal church services,there
should be no conflict of the use of parking spaces.There
would be more than enough parking as the day care would
only have a requirement for 10 spaces.
The four students would be carefully screened by the church
who would only accept upper level undergraduate or graduate
level students,preferably from the medical school.The
students would live year round in an existing one story
building in the southwest corner of the property.They
would park adjacent to the building they would live in.As
stated by the applicant,the purpose for the student
housing would be to provide rent free housing in exchange
for the students assisting in worship leadership,doing
some work around the church and providing an on-site
security presence on the grounds.

Staff believes these added uses would be compatible with
the neighborhood.However,there is one other consideration
regarding the day care.There is a long-standing problem
with an inadequate sewer system in the area.Sewer
service for this church is not shown on Utility maps.No
sewer main is located in their area for their use.They
are probably using a community service line,which is a 4"
line used by more than one residence or business that
crosses other property to tie into a utility sewer main.
The closest sewer main to this location is over a block
away from the church.The utility is in the process of
designing a sewer main extension that would serve not only
the church but also the other residences in this area.We
would recommend that no substantial changes be done at the
church to increase the sewage flow until such time as the
sewer main extension is constructed.Both Wastewater and
the Health Department have recommended the problem be fixed
before any use or usage be allowed to increase.Until that
problem is resolved,Staff believes the day care center
should not open.The student residence with only 4 students
could proceed.
8 .STAFF RECOMMENDATZON:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
a.Do not open the day care center until the sewer system
problem is resolved.
b.All exterior lighting installed must be low intensity and
directed downward and inward to the property and not
towards any residential zoned area.

Friday.Staff noted the comment about signage.The applicant
said if they added any signage it would probably be a 3 foot by
3 foot maximum,no more than six feet tall,near the entrance to
the day care center.That would fall within the normal office
sign standards normally applied to church property.Noting it as
part of the C.U.P.would permit that size and location for the
sign.
The rest of the discussion was about the sewer system problems.
The applicant said they were notified by the Health Department
on May 19,2000 about the problem,and that Wastewater personnel
told them at that time they expected it to take about four to
six months to fix.Wastewater told the Planning Staff that a
method of resolving the problem had still not been decided.A

NAME:Allpets Animal Clinic —Conditional Use
Permit
LOCATION:5508 Kavanaugh Blvd.
OWNER/APPLICANT:Greer H.6 Mary Mawatta Lile /Tim Paladino
PROPOSAL:To obtain a conditional use permit for an
animal veterinary clinic to be placed in an
existing house zoned 0-3,General Business,
located at 5508 Kavanaugh Blvd.
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS
1.SITE LOCATION:
This site is located on the north side of Kavanaugh
Boulevard,two lots west of Polk Street.
2.COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
This site is zoned 0-3,General Office,and surrounded by a
wide mix of zoning and uses.The zoning to the east and
south across Kavanaugh is C-3,General Commercial.On.the
west side is C-1,Neighborhood Commercial zoning,and to
the north the zoning is R-2,Single Family Residential.
There is a day care center next door to the east and a
restaurant next door to the west.A large grocery store is
being rebuilt across the street to the south.Many other
commercial and office uses exist nearby along Kavanaugh.To
the north,however,residential homes do abut this proposedsite.
Because of the small size of this proposed operation and
reported low volume traffic,Staff believes this proposed
use would be compatible with the area since it would be all
inside,with no outside kennel,pens,or walk areas.
The Heights Neighborhood Association,all property owners
within 200 feet,and all residents within 300 feet that
could be identified,were notified of the public hearing.

3.ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
There is one existing driveway along the east side of the
property that provides access onto Kavanaugh.It would
remain.Three cars could be parked along the side of the
building on that driveway.The applicant proposes to add a
handicap accessible parking space in the front of the
building.There is also on-street parking available along
Kavanaugh.The use would generate a requirement for six
parking spaces.The ordinance requires six unobstructed
spaces for each doctor.The site plan only provides two
unobstructed parking spaces,and two more stacked spaces.
Therefore,a variance for reduced on-site parking would be
required.This would be in character for this part of
Kavanaugh.
4.SCREENING AND BUFFERS:
An on-site land use buffer 9 feet in width with a 6 foot
high opaque screen,preferably a wooden fence with its face
side directed outward,is required along the northern
perimeter of the site.Additionally,a 9 foot wide street
landscape buffer is required along Kavanaugh Blvd.
A 9 foot wide landscape strip is required west and east of
the proposed new vehicular use area.
The proposed parking area behind the building would require
the removal of several large trees.
5 .PUBLIC WORKS COMMENTS:
a.Kavanaugh is classified on the Master Street Plan as a
collector street.Dedicate right-of-way to
30 feet from centerline.
b.Provide design of street conforming to "MSP"(Master
Street Plan).Construct one-half street improvement to
these streets including 5-foot sidewalks with planned
development.c.Plans of all work in right-of-way shall be submitted for
approval prior to start of work.
d.Stormwater detention ordinance applies to this property.

7.STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for an
animal veterinary clinic to be placed in an existing structure
zoned 0-3,General Business.All uses would be inside with no
exterior kennel,pens,or walk areas.Currently a photography
studio is located in the building.
The clinic would operate Monday through Friday,7:30 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m.,and Saturday 8:00 a.m.to noon.The applicant
has stated that he would be the only doctor and would have
only three fulltime employees including himself.He also
stated that usually there are only two,and occasionally
three customers there at any time.Most customers drop off
or pick up an animal and don't stay long.
No exterior changes are being made to the building so
siting is not an issue.The only additional parking is in
the front.The original site plan showed turning the whole
back yard into a parking area.Staff suggested that not be
done to preserve three mature trees in the back,plus
provide more of a buffer to the residences to the north by
keeping cars from there.
The site is small.The use would generate a requirement for
six parking spaces.The ordinance requires six unobstructed
spaces for each doctor.The site plan only provides two

unobstructed parking spaces,and two more stacked spaces.
Therefore,a variance for reduced on-site parking would be
required.On-street parking is available adjacent to and
nearby this site.This would be in character and normal forthispartofKavanaugh.
Staff believes the proposed use would be compatible with
the area and reasonable for this site as long as no outsideactivitiesoccur.Animal noise in the back yard could
disturb the neighbors to the north.
8 .STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
a.Comply with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances.b.Comply with Public Works Comments.c.All exterior lighting must be low intensity and directed
downward and inward to the property and not towards anyresidentialzonedarea.
Staff also recommends approval of the variance for reduced
on-site parking as shown on the site plan.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENTS:(OCTOBER 5,2000)
Dr.Tim Paladino was present representing his application.Staff
gave a brief description of the proposal,briefly reviewing the
comments provided to the applicant.
The discussion concerned mainly the landscape and buffer
requirements and how that would affect the proposed parking
plan.Staff commented that the side setbacks could be reduced by
25%to 6.7 feet since this is a "mature"area.It was noted that
the parking would have to be redesigned.Mr.Lawson,Planning
Director,stated he wanted to look at the site and then Staff
would discuss with the applicant how to revise the site plan.
The requirement for a RPZ backflow preventer was also mentioned.
There being no further issues,the Committee accepted the
proposal and forwarded the item to the full Commission for finalaction.

Permit
LOCATION:2216 South Martin Street
OWNER/APPLICANT:Mark S.Jerdan /Dorothy Casey
PROPOSAL:To obtain a conditional use permit for a
day care for 16 children maximum to be
located in an existing single family house
with no exterior changes other than
additional parking on property zoned R-3,
Single Family Residential,located at
2216 South Martin Street.
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1.SITE LOCATION:
This site is located on the west side of South Martin
Street,a few houses south of 22"Street.
2.COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
This site is zoned R-3,Single Family Residential,and is
surrounded by R-3 and R-4,Two Family Residential zoning.
The area consists of mostly single family,with some duplex
residential houses.The proposed site contains a single
family house.
Staff believes the proposed use would be compatible with
the neighborhood.
The Love and Stephens Area Fai;th Neighborhood Associations,all property owners within 200 feet,and all residents
within 300 feet that could be identified,were notified of

3.ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The site contains an existing drive for Martin with one
parking space.The applicant proposes to add one additional
parking space in line with the existing one so not to disturb
the residential nature of the site more than necessary.An
October 2 ,2000

ITEM NO.:13 (Cont.)FILE NO.:Z-6925
additional space for off-site parking would be provided next
door immediately to the north on the day care owner's
property.The day care would require one parking space for
every 10 children and one for each employee,so 3 spaces would
be required for the 16 capacity day care.Since one of the
three spaces would be off-site,that equals 33%of the
required spaces.The ordinance only allows 25%of the parkingtoheoff-site.So a variance would be required for the higher
percentage of off site parking.Staff believes that would be
reasonable and preserve the residential look of the area.

house so siting criteria is not an issue.The site is in a
quiet residential neighborhood on a low travel-volumestreet.The proposed use is small for a day care center and
shouldn't generate much traffic.
The applicant proposes to have two on-site and one off-site
parking spaces.That would result in 33%of the parking
being off-site compared to the ordinance allowance.of 25%.
A variance would be required.Staff would support that
variance since it would help maintain more of the
residential look of the property.
The applicant has also agreed to and requested that this
requested use be limited to her alone.Zf she sells or
gives up the day care,the permit would expire and the
property would revert to single family.The applicant does
not plan to have any signage.
Staff believes the proposed use should be compatible with
the neighborhood and have a minimal adverse impact with
proper screening of the playground area.
8 .STAFF RECOMMENDATZON:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
a.Comply with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances.
b.All exterior lighting must be low intensity and directed
downward and inward to the property and not towards any
residential zoned area.c.The C.U.P.would be valid only for this applicant and if
she sells or gives up the day care or moves from the next
door property located at 2208 S.Martin,the permit would

on-site parking to two spaces and a 33%(1 space)off site

REQUEST:The owners of a portion of Tract
16,Hillvale Addition desire to
remove a covenant that was
placed on the land by adoptionoftheRockCreekZoningPlan in
1977.
STAFF REPORT
This request is one of a continuing number of covenants
being presented for release.The Original Rock Creek Plan
imposed these covenants on a select number of sites and
none of the covenant provisions have ever been enforced.
The enforcing body for these provisions was a committee
appointed by the City Board.That committee never held a
meeting and disbanded shortly after appointment.
The variance or repeal element of the covenants
specifically direct an owner to the Commission for
resolution.
The various single property requests that are presented to
the Commission are the result of failure to gain support ofalltheaffectedownersandperformonerevision.
This particular tract is located at the southwest corner of
Markham and Atkins Streets.The property is within an area
recently approved for a multiple building,mixed
office/commercial development;Atkins Road Short-Form PCD,
