SION ITEM NO. A (Continued) D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL,/DESIGN: There are no apparent legal issues except the basic ordinance requirements that have been omitted from the plat. There are several design issues relative to the building lane where they should be established and where the developer requests them to be waived. Sidewalks and R/W need to be shown on the plat and the last one is the need for specific waiver request on street improvements. E. ANALYSIS: The Planning Staff review of this replat indicates few design issues. The points made in Item D and C above are the primary concerns of Staff and Engineering Department. The right-of-way and sidewalks presence on the plat are important to evaluate existing conditions and master street needs. The remaining design issue to be identified by the Engineer, is the building lanes. We feel the building lines should be established on street frontages and also be shown where developer requests them to be waived. Our last point of concern is that the Engineering Staff suggested to close E. 9th and Reichardt Streets. The applicant needs to file application for street abandonment with Anna Brown at the Planning Office. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this replat subject to complying with the Engineering and Planning Staff comments. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIE- (August 16, 1990) Mr. Names Summerlin was present representing the application. The Staff recommendation was discussed. Staff suggested to Mr. Summerlin to close 9th and Reichardt Streets to avoid improvement requirements. Those streets are not serving any purpose. Mr. Summerline agreed to file a petition with the City Clerk and Anna Brown from Planning Staff. September 11, 1990 SUBDIVISION ITEM.. NO. A Continued There were several design elements discussed. Thee dealt primarily with the improvements. on Bond Street, sidewalks and building lines. Mr. Summerlin agreed to revise this plat. A discussion then Moved again to the street closure issues. The Planning Staff suggested making this a part of the application to include in the Staff's recommendation as being approved, subject to public right-of-way abandonment and street closure. PLANNING COMMISSION -ACTION: (August 28, 1,990) The Staff told the Commission that the replat needed tea tae deferred because of a notice deficiency. A motion was made to defer this item to September .11, 1990 Agenda and passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 nays, and 1 absent. PLANNING COMMISSION AC'T'ION: (September 11, 1990) The Planning Staff reported to the Commission that a request had been made by the applicant for a deferral of this item to the Planning Commission meeting on October 9, 1990. This would afford the applicant sufficient time to address the concerns of neighborhood objectors and the Staff recommendation. After a brief discussion, the Commission deferral to be appropriate. A motion to made and passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 1 absent. 3 determined the that effect was nays, and September 11, 1990 Item No. B ---5.288 Owner; Applicant: Location: Request: Purpose: Size: Existing Use: Various owners Jim H.

The property is situated at the southwest corner of the I-630/Fair Park interchange and has frontage on two other streets, Taylor Street and West 9th or Maryland. The site is an entire city block with the exception of one lot (Lot 10). A majority of lots are occupied by single .family residences and, on the northernmost lots (1, 2 and 12), there is a day care center., Lots 1 and 2 have been reduced in size by the taking of right-of-way for T-630. The zoning in the .neighborhood is very erratic and is made tip of "R-311, ""R-4111 'OR -611, 010-111, 110 3110 11-C-3."1, ""I-21" -and PCD. An example of this irregular pattern can be found on the block to the south that is currently zoned "R-311, ""fr`-31" and: "1I-211. Land use in the area reflect; the zoning and .includes single family, multifamily, office, commercial and industrial. Across Fair Park on the PCD site, there is a major, development with an eating establishment, motel and a convenience store with gas pumps, the most recent addition I September 11., 1990 Item _ Way H ..- 2 8 .-(Continued) to the block. North of I-630 is the War Memorial/Little Rack Zoo area which is a significant public use area. Throughout the area there are vacant lots including the "'0-1" parcel to the south. In 1982, an attempt was made to rezone several sof the lots to "C-31' for a convenience store. Two separate applications were filed leaf for the lots fronting pair Park, the eastern, one - hale of the block, but the requests were heard together by the Planning Commission. There was strong neighborhood. Opposition and both rezonings were denied by the Planning Commission and the Board of Directors.. (Based on information Erna the two case files, it appears that the proposal was to develop a convenience store on the six lots.) The location under consideration is part of the I-630 Planning District and is specifically addressed in the Oak Forest Neighborhood Plan. The land use plan designates the property in question for minced use. A conceptual plan. for Fair Park between 1-630 and West 12th shows the black as part of a larger office and commercial area with multifamily uses to the south. Staff has some concerns with the current request and cannot support the "C-3" reclassification as filed. By having to exclude .Lot 10 from the application, ,an undesirable zoning pattern would be created if the balance of the black is rezoned to "C-3". Another potential problem is the possibility of having a commercial use on each lot which would lead to a fragmented land use pattern.. Also, a '''C-31" .rezoning for all lots could have an adverse; impact on the single family residences on the other blocks. The City must also be sensitive to the zoos/park area, and what bind of development pattern is appropriate for one of the few entrances into a unique public environment. Finally, the issue of stripping out another arterial with '''C-31" zoning should be part of the Commission's review of the request. To ensure a quality development and to help minimize any potential impacts from a commercial reclassification, staff recommends that a PCD be -utilized for the lots that front on Fair Park, Lots 1 through 6. Restricting a commercial reclassification to the eastern one-half of the block will help avoid a questionable zoning configuration and also maintain the cine -half block depth for commercial properties that exist on the wrest side of Fair Park.

This should help protect the residential interests in the neighborhood and the Fair Park corridor which functions as as primary entrance into the War Memorial/'Zoo complex. 1- . . COMMENTS; t . . Fair Park Boulevard is a minor arterial which has a: minimum right--or-way standard or '90 feet. The exiting right -of -waxy is deficient so additional dedication is required .for a: total aright -of -waxy or 45 Peet from the center line. STAFF REC(�A�[1�;➢'!

PLANNING Q.0MM.I.S ,I,O'N ACTI.Q : ffebruary 13, 11390) The applicant, Tim Gray, was .prevent. There were three objectors in attendance. Mr. Gray spoke Briefly and said he was representing the owners sir eleven out of twelve lots. He then requested a deferral to the March 27., 1990 hearing to allow for additional time to try to secure the one re wining .lot. John Derr, 911 Fair Park Boulevard, spoke and said that he did not object to the item being deferred, Another resident addressed the Planning Commission and said she was concerned with the use of the site. The same; person also indicated that she was not opposed to deferring the issue. A motion was made to defer the item to the Parch 27, 1990 hearing'. The motion was approved by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 nays and 1 absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: I. - (March 27, 1993) The applicant was represented by Bill Hastings. There were no objectors in attendance. Mr. Hastings addressed the Commission and requested a 6 -month deferral. A motion was made to defer the rezoning to the September 11, 1997 Hearing. The Motion was approved by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 nays .and 1 absent. (Mr. Hastings was instructed to renoti,fy the property owners by mail..) 3 September 11, 1,990 team..

A contractor's operation is allowed by right in "1I-21" district and the applicant is requesting a rezoning to '"T-211 to permit the use. ("C -41f lists a "-contractor or maintenance yard" as conditional use). The existing building and land area will be used for office space, warehousing, light sheet metal work, and storage of vehicles. In the immediate vicinity, the land use .its a mixture of office, commercial, auto gales, and industrial. 'T'here are some vacant buildings in the .area and several parcels are undeveloped, including the property to the north and gest. On the south side of I-30, the land use is similar with commercial .and industrial uses. Zoning is '1R-211, "°C -3'f, 11C-4011 111-211, and 11FID11. "C-411 is adjacent to the property ern three sides and the interstate .right-of-way is zoned ""R_ 2"" . 1 September 11, 1990 Item No. I - Z -4484-A _ Continued 1n 1985, the current "PCD" was approved for retail and warehouse uses. Additions to the structure Were proposed that would have added 3400 square feet to the existing 9,6807 sq. ft. Close to 50% of floor area was to be used as warehouse space. The request was submitted as a "PGD" to allow a combination of commercial and industrial uses. At the time, the building was being used for the two uses, however, a reclassification was necessary because of the nonconforming status. Based on information found in the old case file, a rezoning to "1-21' is unnecessary because of the approved. "PCD"'. The Planning Commission's action endorsed the 11 'PCD" with two conditions, no food service establishmentsand the use was restricted to "C-31" and 111�211. (The applicant and owner have indicated, that they would prefer to have an "1-2" classification to avoid any confusion and/or problems in the future . ) Staff's position is that the "1-21" rezoning is not a significant change from the approved "PGD" and supports the request for reclassification. "1-21" is also compatible with the adopted plan Geyer Springs West, which identifies the area for commercial and industrial uses. ENGINEERING COMMENTS: None reported. STAFF RECOMMIMAi'IO Staff recommends approval of 111-21" rezoning as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (.September 11, 1990) As requested, the Planning Commission voted to withdraw the item without prejudice.

At this time, there is a single family residence on the site that is being used as a rental unit. Zoning .in the general vicinity is "RR211, 1"R_511, 11b-3"1 "C -31-p and "1C-411, with the property in question abutting "C-311 on three sides. Across Kanis Road, the existing zoning is ""fl -3" and "C-4". The location is one of the fern remaining 11R-211 parcels inthe area. Land use is very similar to the zoning and includes residential, office, commercial, and a fire station. Adjacent to the site are the fire station on the west, and anoffice building to the east. Across Kanis Road is a medical clinic. Because of the Kanis/Barrow intersection's proximity to the Baptist Hospital Complex, there are several clinics and other medical related uses in the area. Throughout the neighborhood, there are a number of undeveloped tracts, including the "C-3" directly to the south. J- September 11, 1990 Item No. 2 - Z-5349 Continued, .......... The site under consideration is shown on the Boyle park District: Flan as past of a maxed use area with office and, comntercia.l, uses. 'Therefore, "C-.31" reclassification is compatible with the plan's directions and staff supports the rezoning. ENGINEERING COMENTS: Kanis road is classified as a minor arterial, which has a right-of-way standard of 90 feet. The existing right-of-way is deficient and dedication of addtional right-of-way will be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends, approval of the "-C-3" zoning as requested. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (Sept -ember 11, 1990) The applicant was present. 'There were no objectors and the item was placed on the consent agenda. A motion was made to recommend approval of the "C-111 rezoning as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 nays, and I absent. F September .11, 1330 Item No. 3 - Z-5357 owner Applicant: Location Request. Purpose: size: Existing Use: Betty & Robert Rowland Robert Rowland 101 E. 1st St'ree't (Mabelvale) Rezone from '"R -22r to "C-111 Laundry Pick-up Station �a . 15 acres Vacant SURROUNDING !AND.USE AND ZONING . North - Vacant, zoned "R-2" South - Single Family, zoned "R-21" East - Single Family, zoned 11R-2'`1 Vest - Single Family, zoned "R-2" STAFF ANALYSIS The lot at 101 E. 1st Street is zoned 11R-2" and the request is to :rezone the property to "C-1" to allow laundry pick-up station. The site has a frontage of 67 feet on Mair Street and 100 feet along the East 1st Street side. Currently, the lot is vacant. In what is commonly referred to as the "Town of Mabelvale", the land use pattern is diverse, with a large number of nonconforming uses. The existing uses include single family, office, commercial, auto service, industrial, churches, and .lodges. Another use found in the neighborhood, is a Little Rock Police Substation, which is located in a small commercial center at the northwest corner of Mabelvale Pike: and 'Main Street. The most .significant land -use in the immediate vicinity is a large church on the block to the east. Zoning includes "R-211, '110-1110 ""-311 ,and 111-210' Nonresidential zoning is an both sides of the railroad tracks, including the existing "C-3''' . At this time, 111-2`1 is a predominate nonresidential zoning, especially to the west of the site. I September 11, 1990 Item NO. 3 -_Z-5357 Continued Throughout the community of Mabelvale, a high percentage of the blocks have Froth residential and nonresidential uses. An example of this can be found on the block to the south, where there are single family residences next to auto repair garages. This pattern developed while the .area was outside the city limits of Little. Rock and has not changed much over the years. The block in which 1:01 E. 1st is located is one of the few that has only single family residences, and Staff feels that a "C-11' reclassification is inappropriate at this time. A commercial rezoning could have an adverse impact on the other lots in the block and encourage strip zoning along Main Street. Maintaining the residential character of the block is reinforced by the Otter Creek District plan, which shows the lot and the block for single family uses. In fact, the, plan only recognizes the existing industrial zoned areas to the west.: The balance of the neighborhood south of the tracks is identified for residential use. The ;plan recommends commercial use for two blocks adjacent to Mabelvale pike, north of the railroad tracks. .Some of the lots are zoned "C-3" and occupied by a small commercial center. ENGINEERING COMMEN'T'S None reported.. STAFF RECOMMENDATIOTfi Staff recommends denial of the t"C-11'' rezoning° request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (September 1.1, 1990.) The applicant, Robert Rowland, was present. 'there were four objectors in attendance. Mr. Rowland spoke and discussed the proposed -use, a laundry pick-up station. He said that there would be :no cleaning equipment and the building would be only used .as a drop-off and pick-up point. Mir. Rowland also said that he thought a 1200 sq. ft, structure would accommodate the use and there would be two employees. Kathy wood, an objector, told theCommission that the area was congested and traffic would be a problem. Ms. Wood also said than there were a number of elderly residents in the neighborhood and added some comments about the land uses in the area. 2 September 11, 1990 Item No. 3 - Z-5357 (Continued Jerry Gardner; City Engineering Staff, described the City's bond project for Main Street and ,said construction should begin in the October of this year. Where was some discussion about buffers and comments were offered by several Commissioners. Commissioner ©Meson said the area eras a viable residential knock, and Commissioner Walker said he would prefer to review, the request through a site plan process. A motion was made to recommend approval -cif the "C_110 rezoning. The vote was 0 ayes, 10 nays, and 1 absent.

There is an existing warehouse on one lot, and the. other lot is vacant at this t:ine. This area was annexed to the city a number of years ago and, therefore, the warehouse facility is nonconforming. Zoning in the general vicinity is "'R -211F , "C-3'" , "IC -411,, and "'I-211_ Lots within the Triangle Properties area are zoned for bath commercial and industrial uses. The site in question abuts "I-2"' land on two sides, and the: zoning across Distribution Drive is "1I-211. Land use is a mixture of office, commercial, auto sales and industrial. A Majority of the existing commercial uses are located on Chicot Road. There are also parcels that are still undeveloped.. Normally, an "1I-2" reclassification of two lots in this area would not be an issue because of the existing zoning and land use. Also, the Geyer Springs West District Plan identifies the properties for industrial development and shows some floodwray involvement. However, because of the floodway, the request becomes more complicated and .involved. 1 September 11, 1990 Item No: 4 - Z�5358 ....... Continued ........... Based on information provided by the. Engineering Staff, approximately two-thirds of the lot with the existing building is in the floodway. The vacant lot, 22A, has a smaller floodway area than the developed one, but is still a. substantial percentage of the lot's area. under current Board of Directors' policy, the floodway is to be zoned 114S,11 and dedicated to the City. With this request, Staff .is concerned that the "Q_S" zoning and dedication requirements are excessive and, would have a severe impact on the loots. This is especially true for the developed tract, because a portion -of the structure is in the floodway. (it is the Staff's understanding haat the building was constructed prior to the area being remapped by the Corps of Engineers. It appears that reducing the amount of dedication needs to be given serious consideration. Staff would like to work with Engineering to see if there is a workable -compromise and/or solution to the problem. ENGINEERING COMMENTS.* Dedication of the floodway.. STAFF RECOMMENDA'TiQN. Reserved at this time to allow for further discussions between the various parties. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (September 11., 1990) Joe White was present and represented the applicant. Where were no objectors in attendance. Staff recommended approval of I11-21' for both lots with an easement for the floodway area. Mr. White spoke and said the applicant was agreeable to providing an easement for the floodway. Ferry Gardner, City Engineering Staff, discussed the floodway issue and said new information could refine the current floodway map Mr. Gardner went on to say that the Corps of Engineers was responsible for modifying floodway map's and the City would accept the Corps information. He also said that the existing building would remain nonconforming and the footprint in the floodway could not be altered. Mr. Gardner concluded by saying that it would be inappropriate to require any dedication because of the unusual situation created by the building. Joe White Heade some additional comments and said the building was constructed while in the county and was approximately .2 1,/2 feet above the flood plain. 2 September 11, 1990 Item No. 4 - Z-5358 (Continued) A motion was made to recommend approval of 11I-2" subject to an easement being granted for the floodway.

These individuals are handicapped, aged, disabled, or in need of adult supervision, and are provided service and supervision in accordance with their individual needs. Such facility shall receive a Special Use Permit for location within "R -1"","R-2", and "R-3" Single Family Districts, and "R-41' Two Family Districts. Also, Section 36-54 Paragraph a of the Zoning Ordinance, provides the development criteria for uses requiring Special Use Permits. For a family care facility, there are five items listed and they are as follows: A. This use may be located only in a single family dwelling. D. Medical or counseling needs must be provided off- site. 1 September 11, 1990 _5..;?._ # Cin t r nuerl ) O. leo physical changes in the residence are permitted which would provide other than sleeping accommodations. D. Drives and parking shall not exceed that required by ordinance for a single family residence. E. This use shall be permitted to run with a title to the land and be transferrable. however, the title holder -must occupy the residence as its principal residence. The applicant has indicated that no major physical changes will be made and she is proposing to provide accommodations for up to five .individuals. The property at 1915 S. Jacks -roan is occupied by a single family residence and, the lot has a. width of 90 feet. Both the dwelling and the lot appear to be of sufficient size to provide necessary space for the proposed use. 1815 S. Jackson is zoned "R-3", as are the adjoining lets. Zoning in the neighborhood is "R-311, "R-4", and "'C-3". Land use is primarily .single family residences. Other uses include duplexes,, a small food store, Franklin School, and to the north is. the Highland Courts area, which can be classified as a multi -family. The purpose of a family dare facility is to provide a non - institutional living environment in a residential neighborhood without disrupting livability of the surrounding lots. Staff its of the opinion that the applicant/owner is complying with the provisions and intent of the Special Use Permit Section, and the family care facility should not have an impact on the neighborhood.
