Little Rock Board of Directors Meeting
December 6,2016
6:00 PM
the recommendations as requested. Mr. Mackey stated that it would be a $2 million
dollar development and would enhance the quality of life in the neighborhood.
Director Wright asked why staff recommended denial of the proposed project. Mr.
Bozynski stated that staff had met with the applicant on several occasions and that the
first plan submitted did not come close to meeting any of the Midtown Design Overlay
District (DOD) Standards and suggestions were made to try and make the project come
closer to meeting those standards. Mr. Bozynski stated that the suggestions were made
in an attempt to minimize the impact that the project would have on the immediate
neighborhood, especially since there were single-family homes located directly across
the street. Mr. Bozynski stated that after reviewing the plan that was submitted and the
impact it would have on the surrounding area, staff felt that the use would potentially
have a negative impact on the area and the recommendation was for denial. Director
Wright asked for clarification of Mr. Mackey's statement that because part of the site was
zoned 0-3, a restaurant could currently be placed on the site without a zoning change.
Mr. Bozynski explained that all Zoning Districts had permitted uses and conditional uses
and that 0-3 zoning contained accessory uses, which was an accessory to a principal
use. Mr. Bozynski stated that according to the guidelines, the accessory uses in 0-3
zoning could not exceed 10% of the total floor area of the site, which meant the
proposed plan could not be placed on the site without a change in zoning.
Vice-Mayor Hines asked if the project had met all requirements of the DOD. Mr. Mackey
stated that the applicant had agreed to all the design criteria.
Mayor Stodola opened the public hearing and asked if there were individuals present
that wished to speak for or against the item.
Ruth Bell, 2611 Briarwood Circle: Stated that she represented the League of Women
Voters of Pulaski County and they were opposed to the project due to the fact that such
a use was inappropriate for the location.
Rosalind Utley, 101 North Monroe Street: Stated that she lived on the Corner of
Markham & Monroe Streets and her house faced the property, and that the intersection
was very congested. Ms. Utley stated that many of the residents along Monroe Street
did not have off-street parking and had to park their automobiles on the street. Ms. Utley
stated with the increased traffic and limited parking on the site, there would be the
potential that the resident's parking would be compromised. Ms. Utley stated that no
one had ever knocked on her door regarding the petition that Mr. Mackey had referred to
during his presentation. Ms. Utley asked that the Board deny the application.
Scott Richardson, 208 North Monroe Street: Stated that he had lived on North Monroe
Street for ten (10) years and that he was concerned about spillover parking on North
Monroe Street. Mr. Richardson stated that the plan showed that the restaurant would
have forty-eight (48) seats; however, there were only eleven (11) parking spots and two
(2) handicapped-accessible parking spots, which would cause individuals to park on
North Monroe Street should parking not be available on the site. Mr. Richardson stated
that Mr. Mackey had indicated that the petition was signed by employees from the
Arkansas Department of Health, which was located across Markham Street from the
site, and from UAMS, which was located down the street; however, no one had come
into the area and asked for signatures from any of the residents in the neighborhood.
