Staff will not have any public hearing items for the January 25, 1994 hearing. Instead, staff would like to have a work session on various items, such as the bike plan, the 1994 ordinance amendment package overview, the housing handbook, and the Panky study. The work session can either be a full commission meeting or a plans committee meeting. At the January 4, 1994 hearing, staff would like direction from the commission of whether the January 25th. meeting should be cancelled or if the full commission would like to participate is a work session. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 1 FILE NO • S -983-A NAME: BRENNAN ADDITION -- REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT LOCATION: On the east side of Reservoir Road, one-half block north of White Rock Lane and abutting Hilltop Manor Addition to the north. DEVELOPER: ENGINEER• A. S. ROSEN AND GLEN WOODRIFF WHITE-DATERS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 9101 Rodney Parham Road 401 S. Victory St. Little Rock, AR 72205 Little Rock, AR 72201 223-0647 374-1666 AREA: 8.27 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 21 & FT. NEW STREET: 670 3 Tracts ZONING R-2 PROPOSED USES: Residential PLANNING DISTRICT: 3 CENSUS TRACT: 22.03 VARIANCES REOUESTED: None STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: The developer proposes an amended preliminary plat for the development of a subdivision with 21 single-family residential lots, one tract, Tract A, which is proposed to be re -zoned to R-5, and two tracts bordering the Grassy Flat creek floodway on the east. A new internal street, which is proposed to enter at Reservoir Road and terminate in a cul-de-sac to the east, is to be 670 feet in length. Reservoir Road is the 'boundary street along the west property line. White Rock Lane forms a portion of the southern boundary of the subdivision. Improvements to both boundary streets are anticipated; however, it is proposed that the improvements to White Rock Lane be deferred until Tract A is developed as phase II of the addition. A. PROPOSAWREOUEST: The applicant requests approval of an amended preliminary plat by the Planning Commission for the development of a 8.27 acre tract to contain 21 single-family residential lots, a "Tract All for future development as an R-5, Urban Residence District, and two tracts bordering the Grassy Flat creek floodway. This request follows a preliminary plat which was approved by the Planning Commission on July 13, 1993, with a different configuration of the street (the street exited the site to the east onto White Rock Lane in January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 1 (Continued) FILE NO • S -983-A lieu of terminating in a cul-de-sac) and involved only the western -most 5 acres of the current proposal. The developer proposes a two -phased development, with the 21 lots surrounding the cul-de-sac being phase I, and Tract A, along with the portion of White Rock Lane, frontage of Lots 13, 14, and 15 being phase II. It is proposed that all improvements to White Rock Lane be tied to the phase II development. An "in -lieu" contribution for the construction of Reservoir Road is anticipated. No waivers are requested. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is undeveloped and wooded. Grassy Flat creek lies along the east border of the tract. Reservoir Road forms the west boundary. Hilltop Manor Addition lies to the north. White Rock Terrace Addition and White Rock Lane form the southern boundary. The site is zoned R-2. Property to the north, east, and west are zoned R-2; property to the south is zoned MF -24 and 0-3. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office indicates that the right-of-way for Reservoir Road must be dedicated, and that the developer must pay an in -lieu payment for improvements to Reservoir Road. White Rock Lane adjacent to the plat must be improved. The Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable. PAGIS monuments will be required. Water Works indicates that a water main extension will be required. Wastewater reports that a sewer main extension, with easements, will be required. Arkansas Power and Light Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: Abutting property is not identified as required by the Regulations: the names of abutting subdivisions are to be noted and the book and page number or instrument number citing their recording with the Circuit Clerk are to be shown; and, the names of owners of abutting property which is not subdivided are to be shown. Fa January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 1 (Continued) FILE NO.: S -983-A The zoning classifications of abutting property are to be shown. This required information is incomplete and incorrect. The required information to the east is not shown. Across White Rock Lane is an 0-3 zoned area which is not shown. The phasing plan delineates two phases, with the development of Tract A and the construction of the improvements on White Rock Lane being phase II. It is unclear whether tracts B and C are part of phase I or phase II. The line delineating the phases follows the White Rock Lane right-of-way line across the south frontage of lots 13, 14, and 15, yet lots 14 and 15 are shown extending into the right-of-way. This area needs to be eliminated from the two lots and designated as being dedicated to the City. The location of the proposed PAGIS marker needs to be changed. Tract C is apparently 11 land- locked,,. Provision needs to be made for providing access or dedicating this tract to the City. E. ANALYSIS: Most of the outstanding issues are minimal and can be easily remedied; however, improvements to White Rock Lane do not need to be postponed until "Phase III'; that phase may never occur. The proposed use is in conformance with the Land Use Plan. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to the applicant completing the submittal requirements noted and making the required improvements to white Rock Lane as part of Phase I development. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) Mr. Joe White, representing the applicant, was present. Staff presented the proposal. The Committee reviewed with Mr. White the deficiencies noted in the discussion outline, and Mr. White responded that he would make the needed corrections. The Committee referred the item to the Commission for review. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) Staff reported that the applicant had revised the request to meet the requirements as presented at the Subdivision Committee meeting and that no issues remain unresolved.

WILSON DEVELOPMENT LLC P. O. Box 3140 Little Rock, AR 72203 663-2053 AREA: 11.6 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 12 ZONI R-2 PLANNING DISTRICT: 11 CENSUS TRACT: 24.04 VARIANCES REQUESTED: STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: PROPOSED USES• None ENGINEER• MCGETRICK ENGINEERING 11225 Huron Lane Little Rock, AR 72211 223-9900 FT. NEW STREET: 660 Single-family Residential The applicant proposes a preliminary plat for the development of a 12 lot single-family residential subdivision. The property is a 11.6 acre tract lying immediately south of Sandpiper Addition, and the street which is proposed is a 600 foot extension of Peach Tree Drive from its intersection with Ridgewood Drive in Sandpiper Addition. No sidewalks are proposed to be constructed. South of the proposed subdivision is Panther Branch creek, and the developer proposes to dedicate the floodway of the creek to the City. Additionally, the developer proposes to dedicate to the City the "left -over" land not platted as residential lots but which are outside the floodway. This land along Panther Branch is contiguous to City owned or public property to the east and north-west. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: The developer requests approval by the Planning Commission of a preliminary plat for the development of a 12 lot subdivision on a 11.6 acre tract. The street which is proposed for the subdivision is shown to extend southward from the current end of Peach Tree Drive in the Sandpiper Addition to the north, then form a cul-de-sac after turning westward. No sidewalk is proposed to be constructed. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 2 (Continued) FILE NO • S-1001 B. M D. Panther Branch creek borders the subdivision to the south, and the developer proposes to dedicate to the City both the creek floodway and land within the platted subdivision boundary but which is not shown to be platted as lots. No construction within the floodway is proposed. No variances are requested. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is undeveloped and wooded, with Panther Branch creek transversing the site and forming the southern boundary of the proposed addition. The I-430 right-of-way lies immediately to the east. Sandpiper Subdivision, Sandpiper West Subdivision, and City -owned land along Panther Branch creek abut the proposed addition to the north. The site and all properties surrounding the site are zoned R-2. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office indicates that the minimum floor elevation for structures to be built on lots in the floodplain must be shown. The Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable to this development. The floodway is to be dedicated to the City. The correct name of the subdivision street is Peach Tree Drive. The word "street" needs to be changed to reflect the correct designation. Water works indicates that a water main extension will be required. Wastewater reports that a sewer main outfall is located within the plat boundary, and that Wastewater needs to be contacted for details. A sewer main extension, with easements, is needed to serve all lots. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require easements. Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. and Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: Peach Tree Drive within the subdivision is a Peach Tree Drive in Sandpiper Addition. It, not qualify as a minor residential street. required to be built. PA ki continuation of therefore, does sidewalk is January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 2 (Continued) FILE NO.: S-1001 The plat is to show, where applicable, the names of recorded subdivision, with the plat book and page number or instrument number of their filing with the Circuit Clerk, which abut the proposed subdivision. For unplatted land, the names of the abutting property owners are to be shown. This information is not complete. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the submittal contain information on the average and minimum lot sizes. This is not furnished. The zoning classification(s) of the proposed subdivision and of abutting properties are to be shown on the preliminary plat. This is not done. A statement regarding the proposed phasing of the development needs to be included on the plat. The proposed lot 6 does not appear to have enough depth. Reconfigure this lot to conform to the regulations. There is evidently an error in the location of the radius points for the cul-de-sac and the building line around the cul-de- sac; they do not form concentric circles. This needs to be corrected. No building line needs to be shown where there are no lots anticipated or platted. As noted in the "Statement of Proposal" and "Proposal/Request", the "left -over" land not included as platted lots needs to be dedicated to the City; otherwise a provision needs to be made for maintenance of this land. In order to properly transfer title to the City, a quit claim deed must be executed. ANALYSIS• Only minimal deficiencies in the submittal have been noted. It is anticipated that the developer and engineer can supply completed information and documents prior to the Planning Commission hearing. The proposed use as single-family residential is in keeping with the Land Use Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) Pat McGetrick, the project engineer, was present. Staff presented the request. Mr. McGetrick reviewed the comments contained in the discussion outline and indicated that he would make the needed corrections or furnish the information requested. He related that the developer would, indeed, dedicate the 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 2 (Continued) FILE NO.: S-1001 "unused" land to the City. After a brief review by the Committee, the item was referred to the Commission for final resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) The applicant was present. A representative of the Sandpiper Property Owners Association was present. Staff indicated that Peachtree Drive would be considered a standard residential street into the proposed addition until 90 -degree turn occurs, at which point it would be qualified as a minor residential street. The sidewalk extension would extend to that point. It was clarified to the property owners association representative, Mr. Reginald Wilson, that a proposal involved only 12 new lots, and that Peachtree Drive will not be extended further southward. A motion was made and seconded to approve the request. The motion passed with the vote of 8 ayes, no nays, 2 absents, and 1 abstention (McDaniel). 4 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 3 FILE NO.: S -54-U NAME: POINT WEST 5TH. ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT. AND RE -PLAT OF LOTS 3, 4, & 5 OF POINT WEST 4TH. ADDITION LOCATION: South of Kanis Road and west of Bowman Road in Point West Addition, west of Mesquite Drive and beyond the south end of White Road DEVELOPER: ENGINEER: ERC PROPERTIES MCGETRICK ENGINEERING 815 Fort Street 11225 Huron Lane Barling, AR 72023 Little Rock, AR 72211 452-9950 223-9900 AREA: 10.76 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 39 FT. NEW STREET: 2,100 ZONING: R-2 PROPOSED USES: Single-family Residential PLANNING DISTRICT: 18 CENSUS TRACT: 42.07 VARIANCES REQUESTED: None STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes a preliminary plat in order to develop a 10.76 acre tract which abuts the existing Point West Addition. An additional 39 single-family lots are proposed, with 2,100 feet of new streets. In order to gain access from the existing Point West development, a roadway is proposed to be constructed westward off Mesquite Drive in Point West 4th. Addition. This necessitates re -platting three lots in Point West 4th. to provide the right-of-way for the roadway and the creation of two revised configurations of lots at the intersection of the new roadway and Mesquite Drive. A sidewalk is proposed to be constructed along Teton Drive, but the two other new streets are anticipated to meet the standard as minor residential streets and, consequently, are not proposed to have sidewalks constructed along their rights-of-way. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Review by the Planning Commission is requested for the development of Point West 5th. Addition and the re -platting of three lots in Point West 4th. Addition. The applicant proposes the acquisition of a 10.76 acre site to the west of and abutting the Point West 4th. Addition for the development of 39 residential lots along 2,100 feet of new streets. Re -platting three of the lots in Point West 4th. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 3 (Continued) FILE NO • 5-54-U Addition is necessitated in order to provide access from Point West 4th. Addition into the new area. The three lots thus become the right-of-way for Teton Drive and two newly configured corner lots. It is proposed that Teton Drive extend northward to the north boundary of the addition and, as a standard residential street, have a sidewalk constructed along the right-of-way. The two other streets, Calvary Circle and White Road, are anticipated to meet the requirements as minor residential streets and not be required to have sidewalks constructed along their rights-of-way. White Road, however, is proposed to extent to the north-west boundary of the subdivision and meet the existing White Road right-of-way in Simpson Subdivision. No variances are requested. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is currently undeveloped, overgrown, and heavily wooded. Panther Branch creek borders the site to the south and south-west. Undeveloped land lies to the west. Point West 4th. Addition and Point West 3rd. Addition lie to the east. Simpson Subdivision and undeveloped land lie to the north. The existing zoning of the site is R-2, with R-2 zoning on all land in the area. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office indicates that the radius on curve #3 must be increased to 150 feet in order to comply with the Master Street Plan standards. The Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable in this development. PAGIS monuments will be required. Water Works reports that a water main extension will be needed. Wastewater indicates that a sewer main extension, with easements, will be required. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: The plat title deals with Point West 5th. Addition only. It also needs to denote that a re -plat of a portion of Point West 4th. Addition is included. The Regulations require that information on the average and minimum lot sizes be furnished. This information has not been included. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 3 (Continued) FILE NO.: S -54-u The preliminary plat is to show the names of abutting subdivisions or of property owners. Where abutting property is subdivided, the book and page number or instrument number of the filing of the ownership with the Circuit Clerk is to be included. This information is incomplete. The zoning classification of all abutting property is to be shown. This information is incomplete. Both Teton Drive and White Road are shown to extend to the subdivision boundary. White Road is anticipated to open to the existing White Road in the subdivision to the north and exit to Kanis Road beyond. The possibility or plan for future extension of Teton Drive is not dealt with, but needs to be. An overall plan for Point West, both existing and proposed is needed. Staff needs to review the addition's overall street layout, the relationship of the internal street system with external streets, and the proposed access points from the addition to the external street system. White Road is shown extending outside the boundary of the plat to the west to align with the existing White Road right-of-way in Simpson Subdivision. Provision needs to be made for the proposed activity and construction outside the boundary of the subdivision. The application indicates that White Road will meet minor residential street standards, and, consequently, will not be required to have a sidewalk constructed along its right-of- way. Since White Road is extended to the subdivision boundary and is anticipated to tie onto the existing improved white Road, it will, presumably, not qualify as a minor residential street. A sidewalk will be required. The location of the floodway and floodplain must be indicated on the plat. If structures are to be built on lots which lie in the floodplain, the minimum floor elevations for these structures must be shown. Any proposed phasing of development must be noted. E. ANALYSIS• The deficiencies and comments noted are, for the most part, relatively minor and the project engineer can, presumably, provide the information required or make the changes needed in a timely manner. There are two situations which have not been dealt with and this needs to be done prior to the Commission's approval of the plat. Access northward from the boundary of the subdivision is anticipated; however, there is no indication that the land north of Teton Drive is under the control of the applicant or that access northward 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 3 (Continued) FILE NO.: S -54-U from Teton Drive will be possible. The existing White Road in Simpson Subdivision is substandard and cannot accommodate increased traffic from Point West. It can be anticipated that a great deal of traffic from not only Point West 5th., but Point West 4th. and 3rd. will utilize the more direct access from Point West to Kanis Road by way of White Road, rather than the cumbersome path eastward to Point West Drive and onto Kanis Road. This access question needs to be dealt with and resolved prior to approval of the preliminary plat. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends deferral of the approval of the preliminary plat until an overall plan of the entire Point West subdivision is submitted, provisions for alternate access to the subdivision are indicated, and staff and the applicant's engineer have had an opportunity to study this situation. sSUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) Mr. Pat McGetrick, the project engineer, was present. Staff presented the proposal. Mr. McGetrick responded to the items contained in the discussion outline. He indicated that he would provide the requested information and make the needed changes. The Committee discussed with Mr. McGetrick the situation of the two streets extending to the subdivision boundary with either an inadequate roadway beyond on White Road or no available right-of-way beyond Teton Drive. There was no resolution of the questions raised. The Committee forwarded the item to the Commission for resolution of the remaining questions. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) The applicant's representation, Mr. Pat McGetrick, was present. A number of persons representing the existing neighborhood along White Road were present. Staff presented the request and Mr. McGetrick addressed the Commission concerning the deficiencies noted at the Subdivision Committee meeting. He indicated that the requested overall scheme of Point West had been provided and that the collector roads indicated, once extended beyond the subdivision, would add the needed additional access to the property. He added that Winrock is extending Gamble Road to the south to Bowman in their recently approved plat. Mr. Paul Glasscock, representing White Road residents, responded that the existing White Road could not handle the additional traffic to be directed onto it by tying the new section into the existing road. After a lengthy discussion involving planning 4 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 3 (Continued) FILE NO.: S -54-U commission members, staff and various other White Road residents, the Commission directed Mr. McGetrick to redesign the north-west corner of the proposed subdivision to eliminate the White Road tie-in. There was a stipulation added that staff should submit the revised plat to the Fire Department for review, and if approved, the elimination of the tie-in would be required. A motion to that effect was made and seconded, and passed with the vote of 9 ayes, no nays, 2 absent, and no abstentions. 5 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 4 FILE NO • S-1003 NAME: SHACKLEFORD ROAD INDUSTRIAL PARR LOCATION: On the east side of Shackleford Road, approximately 0.2 miles south of Colonel Glenn Road DEVELOPER: KELTON BROWN, SR. 13,700 Beckenham Dr. Little Rock, AR 72212 225-2111 AREA: 10.65 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 8 ZONING: I-1 PLANNING DISTRICT: 11 CENSUS TRACT: 24.05 VARIANCES REOUESTED: STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: ENGINEER• ROBERT D. HOLLOWAY 200 Casey Drive Little Rock, AR 72118 851-8806 FT. NEW STREET: 650 PROPOSED USES: Industrial Improvements to Shackleford Road The applicant proposes a preliminary plat for the development of an industrial park. The site is a 10.65 acre tract, and the creation of 8 industrial lots is proposed. Shackleford road borders the site on the west, and a single internal street totaling 650 feet in length is proposed. The applicant proposes 50 foot building set -back lines along the internal street frontages; 70 foot along Shackleford Road. A 100 foot building line is proposed along the east property line. A. PROPOSAWREOUEST: The applicant requests approval by the Planning Commission of a preliminary plat for the development of a 8 -lot industrial park subdivision. The site is a 10.65 acre tract. One cul-de-sac internal street is proposed with a total length of 650 feet. The internal street is proposed to be constructed to Master Street Plan standards; no improvements to Shackleford Road are planned, although dedication of the required right-of-way is proposed. The Zoning Regulations specify a 70 foot front building line in the I-1 zoning district; the applicant proposes to conform to the requirdd setback on the Shackleford frontage, but proposes a 50 foot setback along the internal street. A 100 foot building line is proposed along the east boundary of the subdivision as a buffer to the residential area beyond. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO:: 4 (Continued) FILE NO.: S-1003 B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is mostly cleared, with the remains of the former use as a construction yard on the site. To the north is the site of the approved but as yet undeveloped "Buie Mini -storage PCD11. Presently that site is occupied by a non -conforming junk yard use. To the west and south is additional I-1 property. Along the east property line is a 50 foot wide OS strip, with R-2 property beyond. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office reports that the internal street layout must be redesigned to meet minimum Master Street Plan standards. The double cul-de-sacs design does not meet that standard. Dedication of right-of-way along Shackleford Road and improvements of Shackleford Road to Master Street Plan standards is required. The Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable to this development. (Engineering advises that the applicant needs to file an application for a State permit.) PAGIS monuments must be shown. A name for the proposed internal street must be shown. Water Works indicates that a water main extension will be required. A pro -rata front footage charge of $15.00 per front foot applies in addition to the normal connection charge for connections off Shackleford Road. Wastewater reports that a sewer main extension, with easements, will be required. Arkansas Power and Light Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: The application and Bill of Assurance indicate that the name of the proposed subdivision is Shackleford Road Industrial Park. The plat shows the name as Shackleford Industrial Park, leaving out "Road". Make the information consistent. The plat shows the width of the right-of-way of the internal street, but does not show the width or location of the street. This needs to be shown. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO 4 (Continued) FILE NO.: S-1003 Both the names and the book and page number or instrument number of the recording of all abutting subdivisions must be shown. Where the abutting property is not subdivided, the names of the owners of that property must be shown. This information is not complete on the plat. The zoning classifications of abutting properties are to be shown. This is incomplete on the plat. A certificate of preliminary surveying accuracy is required to be included on the plat. This has been omitted. The I-1 zoning district requires site plan review by the Planning Commission prior to development. Each lot will have to be reviewed in the Commission as development is undertaken. E. ANALYSIS• There are fundamental problems with the design of this subdivision involving the layout of the internal street not meeting Master Street Plan standards, yet there is not a lot of flexibility for modifying the layout. The applicant needs to confer with the City Engineering office as a re -design is considered. The remaining deficiencies can be easily remedied. The anticipated use is in conformance with the zoning and the Land Use Plan. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends deferral of this request pending a re -design of the internal street. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) No one was present to present this item. Staff reported that a FAX had been received from the project engineer, Mr. Robert Holloway, indicating that a deferral was being requested until the February 8, 1994 Planning Commission hearing. The item, then, was not reviewed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) Staff reported that the item could be included on the Consent Agenda for deferral to the February 8, 1994 hearing. The deferral was approved with the vote of 7 ayes, no nays, 4 absent, and no abstentions. 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 5 FILE NO • Z -5412-A NAME: CENTRAL PROPERTIES -- SHORT -FORM PCD LOCATION: At the north-west corner of Hinson Road and Rodney Parham Road DEVELOPER• CENTRAL PROPERTIES c/o John Flake 425 W.

The proposed buildings are planned to be oriented toward Rodney Parham and Hinson Roads, with an Applebee's restaurant planned at the north extremity of the property facing Rodney Parham, a Walgreen's store at the corner of Rodney Parham and Hinson Roads, and an office building at the western edge of the property facing Hinson Road. Two access drives are proposed off Rodney Parham; one off Hinson Road. No drive accesses are proposed off the three residential streets to the north, north-west, or west; a 30 foot landscape buffer is proposed along these three streets. Parking for 205 cars is indicated. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of Directors is requested for the establishment of a PCD on a 4 acre tract at the corner of Rodney Parham and Hinson Roads. The requested PCD orients the buildings towards these two minor arterial roadways, with access being derived only from these two streets. Two access points are proposed on Rodney Parham; one on Hinson. No access is proposed to the three residential streets to the north, north-west, and west, and a 30 foot landscape buffer is proposed along the January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 5 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -54'2 - length of these three streets. The applicant proposes to retain many of the existing trees in this '30 foot area and to add additional trees and evergreen landscaping to provide an all -season buffer which will, "in time", obscure the buildings and parking from view from the residential area beyond. Earth berms are proposed to be placed in the "greenbelt" to protect existing trees and to maintain the wooded appearance in this area. New landscaping is proposed to be provided which, as related by the applicant, will exceed City landscaping requirements. On -premise signs will be designed and placed in conformance with the City Sign Ordinance requirements. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is, for the most part, .heavily wooded. There are two residences on the site, one facing Rodney Parham; one facing Hinson. A log cabin and barn stand behind/to the west of the residence which faces Rodney Parham and lie along the north property line of the site. Buff Lane, Valley Club Circle, and Wendy Lane border the site on the north, north-west, and west respectively. The current zoning c -f the site is R-2. Property to the north and west is zoned R-2. Property to the north-west is zoned R-2 and R-4. Property across Rodney Parham is zoned PCD. Property across Hinson is R-5, R-2, and 0-3. Diagonally across the intersection of Rodney Parham and Hinson is C-2 zoned property. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office indicates that right-of-way must be dedicated for Rodney Parham and Hinson Roads which is, consistent with Master Street Plan requirements. Additional right-of-way is, therefore needed. Improvements on Rodney Parham must be constructed, and conformance to traffic engineering design requirements must be met for the Rodney Parham -Hinson intersection. The northern -most access drive on Rodney Parham must be abandoned. The Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable. Water Works indicates that on-site fire protection may be required. A water main extension may be required. Wastewater reports that sewer is available on Hinson Road, Wendy Lane, and on Buff Lane. The developer will be required to extend service to the property. Site Plan review reports that the required average buffer width along Hinson Road is 21 feet. The requirement along Rodney Parham Road is 20 feet. The minimum requirements are 14 feet and 13 feet respectively. The buffer width 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 5 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -5412-A indicated on the plan submitted drops below the 6 foot minimum allowed at any given point. The Landscape Ordinance requires a 6 foot wide perimeter landscape strip separating lot lease line unless an access easement is provided. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. each approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: The application cites "Applebee's" and "walgreen's" by name, along with the "office building" use, and, as presently proposed, the PCD, if established, would provide for these two specific uses plus the office use. If the applicant wishes to retain the option of having alternate tenants in the two commercial building, then this must be requested. Otherwise, only these two tenants will be permitted without amending the PCD. Additionally, the applicant needs to be more specific in the uses requested in the "office" building. The survey and plan which have been submitted are deficient. The Subdivision Ordinance requires the site plan be submitted on a sheet not to exceed 241, by 3611, or less than 12" by 2411, be to scale, and contain a vicinity map. The plan is to show the proposed treatment of the perimeter of the property (e.g., the materials and techniques for screening and fencing) and contain a schematic landscaping plan. The survey and plan is to show all existing and proposed easements, the location and dimensions of buildings, parking, etc. A preliminary plat is to be furnished which meets all the requirements of the Ordinance: the name of the proposed subdivision; name, address, and source of title of the owner; name of the subdivider; legal description; source of water and means of wastewater disposal; vicinity map; contours at 2 foot intervals; boundary street design and right-of-way dedication; building set -back lines; location and description of monuments; metes and bounds legal description; present zoning classification of the site and of abutting properties; and inclusion and execution of the preliminary surveying and engineering certifications. A preliminary Bill of Assurance is to be provided. None of this has been submitted. Any anticipated signage needs to be shown and described. Location(s) and size of the signs must be dealt with in the approval of the PCD. A development schedule is to be furnished. 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 5 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -54'12-A E. ANALYSIS• The submittal is deficient .in critically important ways, and review cannot proceed without adequate documents being submitted. As far as the land use element is concerned, the Planning staff indicates that the City Land Use Plan recommends office use for the site, and that, while some commercial uses might be appropriately mixed in with an office development, the proposal is primarily a commercial development. If a mixed office and commercial development is pursued, then the proportion of each use must be specified and approved and must be in conformance with the land use plan. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends deferral of the application until adequate design documents and submittals are supplied. It is recommended that the applicant confer with staff to determine appropriate exhibits and design requirements. It is also recommended that the applicant confer with the Planning staff to bring the requested uses into conformance with the Land Use Plan. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) The applicant, Mr. John Flake, was present, as were representatives of the architectural firm and of the proposed tenants. Staff presented the request and outlined the deficiencies noted in the discussion outline. The applicant and architect reviewed the planned improvements and discussed the staff's observations and requirements. After a lengthy discussion involving the Committee members, applicant, and staff, the Committee forwarded the request to the Commission for the hearing.

NEW STREET: 0 ZONING: PRD PROPOSED USES: Residential PLANNING DISTRICT: 4 CENSUS TRACT• 16 VARIANCES REOUESTED: None STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: An amendment to a previously approved Planned Residential Development District is proposed in order to decrease the number of residences which were formerly approved and to change the scheme from attached townhouses to detached, free-standing homes. Five homes, each 33 feet wide, with 4 foot interior side yards and 8 foot exterior side yards on the two end homes are proposed. A 25 foot rear yard setback is proposed, leaving approximately 48 feet for the front yards and the 20 foot private drive. The exteriors are proposed to vary somewhat in style, color, look, etc., but all five homes are to be basically identical plans with brick veneer exteriors. Access is to be provided by way of Fillmore Street which "dead -ends" at the edge of the property. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of Directors is requested for an amendment to the previously approved Hillside Village Townhouses PRD. The original request was heard by the Planning Commission on March 9, 1993 and was approved by the Board of Directors on April 6. The plan which was approved was for six "attached", row -type townhouses. The request at this time is to amend the PRD to permit five single-family detached residences on five individual lots. Units 1 and 5 would be on 45 foot lots, with 8 feet between these two end units and the boundary of the PRD and 4 feet to the internal property lines. The January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 6 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -5656-B remaining 3 homes would be on 41 foot lots with 4 foot side yards, providing 8 feet between each of the units. A private drive is proposed and access to the drive is to be from Fillmore Street which currently terminates at the north boundary of the property. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is currently undeveloped and mostly overgrown. The site is conditionally zoned PRD. (Unless the previously approved PRD is constructed within the time frame required by the Ordinance, the zoning of the property will revert to 0-3.) Property to the north, through which the access is to be derived, is zoned R-2. To the south and west is 0-3 property. To the east is MF -12 property. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office indicates that the Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable. Improvements to Fillmore Street will be required at the access point to the street. Water Works reports no comments. Wastewater indicates that the sewer is available in "O" Street, and that Wastewater Utility needs to be contacted prior to construction. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: The application is deficient in the following ways: an application form has not been furnished; a survey and legal description have not been furnished; a preliminary plat, with all required information pursuant to the Subdivision Regulations, has not been furnished; the schematic site plan does not meet minimum submittal requirements; no preliminary Bill of Assurance has been provided, etc. A statement is made that the private drive in front of each of the five homes will be common area, yet there is no provision for maintenance of this area. The proposed treatment of the perimeter and a schematic landscaping plan are to be provided. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 6 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -5656-B The proposed improvements to the public street are to be indicated. A development schedule is to be outlined. Any anticipated signage needs to be described and located as part of the review documents. E. ANALYSIS• The documents submitted for review are deficient as noted above. Critical information for a proper review by staff is not available. The Planning staff indicates that the adopted Land Use Plan recommends office use for this site. However, staff continues, if the development is to take access through residential street from the north rather than from the 0-3 zoned land to the south, then low density multi -family or single family uses are appropriate. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends deferral of the hearing of this application pending receipt of appropriate drawings and related documentation. If the required exhibits are submitted and the comments and concerns have been addressed as outlined above, then staff recommends approval of the amended PRD. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) Mr. Larry Townley, the project architect, was present to represent the applicant. Staff outlined the request and presented the deficiencies noted in the discussion outline. The Committee members reviewed the proposal and asked Mr. Townley to submit complete exhibits to staff. Mr. Townley indicated that he would prepare and submit the needed documents. The Committee referred the item to the Commission for the hearing. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) Staff presented the request. Mr. Townley, the applicant's representative, was present. Mr. W. F. Burris was present in opposition to the request. Mr. Burris complained that the street could not accommodate any added traffic.

NEW STREET: 0 ZONING: R-2 to PCD PROPOSED USES: Commercial & Residential PLANNING DISTRICT: 18 CENSUS TRACT: 42.07 VARIANCES REQUESTED: Waiver from the requirement to construct street and sidewalk improvements on the boundary streets. STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes a Planned Commercial Development District in order for his home and his electrical contracting business to continue to occupy the property at the corner of Kanis Road and White Road. At a previous Planning Commission hearing, the applicant requested approval of a conditional use to replace a mobile home in which he and his family reside with a double -wide manufactured home. This approval was granted. However, in the process of doing the field investigation associated with that conditional use review, staff noted the commercial use which was also in existence on the subject property. The applicant proposes at this time a re -zoning to bring the existing uses into conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. No changes in the existing commercial structure are proposed; no changes to the site are proposed except for the replacement of the mobile home which has been approved A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of Directors is requested for the establishment of a PCD for a mixed commercial and residential use on the subject property. A double -wide manufactured home, to replace a single -wide mobile home, has been approved to be located on the property. There is an existing wood -frame, two story, 1500 square feet per floor structure at the north, Kanis frontage, of the property which is housing the applicant's January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 7 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z-5769 electrical contracting business. The request is to seek the establishment of a PCD which would allow the existing two uses to continue. No changes in the uses or modifications to the site or boundary streets are proposed. There is a waiver requested, then, to exempt the applicant from constructing one-half of Kanis and White Roads to Master Street Plan standards, with the required sidewalks. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is presently developed as a residential home site and an electrical contracting business. An existing gravel drive and parking area serve the business; a gravel drive serves the mobile home, with a new double -wide and concrete drive to serve this new home being proposed. The building utilized for the contracting business is surrounded on the east, north, and west with trees. The property is currently zoned R-2, with the existing commercial use being an illegal non -conforming use of the property. All surrounding areas are zoned R-2. There are other non -conforming commercial uses in the area; however, these are legal non -conforming uses which were existing when the area was annexed. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office indicates that dedication of right-of-way and construction of improvements to Master Street Plan standards will be required on Kanis Road and on white Road. Kanis Road is designated as a minor arterial road which requires a 90 foot right-of-way. The existing right-of-way is shown to be 60 feet. An additional 15 feet of right-of-way is required on the applicant's side of the centerline of Kanis Road. Construction of one-half of the minor arterial is required. White Road is designated as a standard residential street. The required right-of-way is 50 feet. The survey indicates that this right-of-way is sufficient. One-half of a standard residential street on the half of the right-of-way bordering the applicants property will be required to be built. Both street classifications require a sidewalk to be built. Water Works reports that the property has existing water service. wastewater reports that sewer service is not available. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require easements Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 7 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z-5769 D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: Approval of the application will require dedication of the additional right-of-way on Kanis Road. A waiver from the requirement to construct improvements on Kanis and white Roads must be approved by the Board of Directors; otherwise, these improvements must be made. Failure of the re -zoning will be cause for the matter to be referred to the enforcement division for enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance. Any required easements, as requested by the utility companies, must be granted. Since the application is specifically for the Snell -Northcutt Electric Co., should the PCD be approved, no other commercial uses will be permitted without an amendment of the PCD. Any signage which is anticipated or requested must be located on the plan and described. Signs must be approved in the PCD. E. ANALYSIS• The subject property is a large lot (165 feet by 498 feet), containing nearly 2 acres. The applicant was granted a building permit in 1991 to construct a 30 foot by 50 foot "storage building" as an accessory building to the residential use on the property. Instead, a 30 foot by 50 foot, two story, building was built which houses his contracting business. The new building was built on the Kanis frontage of the property and is 423 feet from the south property line. It is 70 feet from the white Road right-of-way line. There is 125 feet of separation between the contracting business building and the location of the proposed double -wide home. There is, then, a great deal of separation of the business activity from the residences in the area. The Planning staff reports that the adopted Land Use Plan recommends the area in which the subject property lies to be a Transition Zone which includes office, low density multi- family, or single-family uses only. A PCD is, according to the Plan, inappropriate for this site. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends denial of the application as an inappropriate use of the property. q January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 7 (Continued) FILE NO • Z-5769 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) The applicant, Mr. Robert Snell , was present.

A drive along the west property line, with parking between and in front of the buildings, is proposed. Leaving the heavy forest cover along the perimeter of the property is planned, and the applicant anticipates leaving much of the area in its natural state. The rear, northern -most building is to be Phase I of the development and will house the applicant's Rivercity Energy Company offices. The front, southern -most building, will be built as Phase II; however, no definite date is established for its development. That building would be built as a tenant -occupied office building when an appropriate tenant is located and when it is economically feasible to proceed with this phase. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of Directors is requested for the establishment of a Planned Office Development District on property to be acquired by the applicant. Requested is approval of a POD which will include two, one-story, 6000 square foot buildings with associated drives and parking. The requested uses include January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 8 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z-5770 all permitted uses in the 0-3 zoning district. A phased development is proposed, with the rear, northern -most building, the drive, and a portion of the parking being Phase I; the front, southern -most building and the remainder of the parking being Phase II. There is no time -table established for the development of Phase II. Much of the site is proposed to be left in its natural state, heavily wooded and forested. The signage is to be located at the entrance to the property and will comply with the applicable standards and requirements. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is undeveloped and is heavily wooded and overgrown. The current zoning is R-2, with R-2 zoning existing on the surrounding properties. There are residences on the properties to the east and west. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office reports that the Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable to this development. A 6 foot sidewalk along the Highway 10 frontage will be required to be constructed. Engineering indicates that the driveway needs to be moved to the east side of the property, and that the drive needs to approach Highway 10 at a 90 degree angle. Water Works indicates that on-site fire protection will be required. Wastewater indicates that no service is currently available to the site without an sewer main extension. Site Plan review reports that the Landscape Ordinance will require 6% of the interior of the vehicular use area be landscaped. A 6 foot high opaque screen (i.e., a good neighbor fence or evergreen shrubs spaced every 3 feet) is required along the north, east, and west perimeter of the property. Arkansas Power and Light Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department indicated that an additional fire hydrant may be needed. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 8 (Continued) FILE NO • Z-5770 D.

NEW STREET: 0 VARIANCES REQUESTED: None STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: PROPOSED USES: Offices & Residential The applicant proposes establishment of a Planned Office Development District in order to re -subdivide the property. The property is currently divided into three lots; however, there are four structures on the site, and these structures have no relationship to the existing lot lines. The applicant proposes to divide the property into three new lots to accommodate the existing buildings, with a two story brick apartment building occupying one of the lots, a one story concrete block building occupying the second lot, and a two story brick home and two story accessory building occupying the third lot. A rear parking lot and its drive are shared by the buildings, and a common access easement is proposed. No construction of new or replacement buildings is proposed. No modifications to landscaping or to boundary streets is anticipated. A. PROPOSAL/REOUEST: Review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of Directors is requested for the establishment of a POD on the subject property. The applicant requests approval to divide the property in an appropriate manner to accommodate the buildings which stand on the property to facilitate their individual ownership or mortgages. At present, the lot lines bisect buildings and are inappropriately located. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 9 (Continued) FILE NO • S-1000 This POD is proposed to align the lot lines so that each of the primary buildings is one its own lot. There is an accessory structure which would be on the same lot with its primary structure. Parking is shared by the buildings, and the access drive is proposed to be on one of the lots. An access easement is proposed to protect each property's rights to the parking and drive. No modifications to the site are proposed. This request is solely to divide the property to conform to the layout of the buildings as they are presently sited. The applicant proposes to continue the residential and office uses currently occupying the site, and requests approval in the POD of all listed uses in the 0-3 zoning district. No variances are requested. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is currently occupied by four buildings. A two story brick apartment building lies along the east property line, with an asphalt parking lot behind (to the south of) it. A two story brick residential structure sits at the northwest corner of the property at the corner of West Second Street and South Ringo Street. Immediately behind it is a two story brick and frame accessory building. A one story concrete block building lies to the south of this accessory building. A parking lot and a drive lie along the south property line. The site is currently zoned C-4. The predominate zoning in the area is C-4, but there are C-3 zoning districts scattered in the area with a C-3 zone immediately across West Second Street from the site. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office reports that there are no comments to be offered. Water Works indicates that each parcel will need a separate water meter on its own frontage. Wastewater reports that sewer service is currently available. Arkansas Power and Light Co., Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., and Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: The request involves re -platting only.

NEW STREET: 0 ZONING 0-3 PROPOSED USES: Office PLANNING DISTRICT: 18 CENSUS TRACT: 42.06 VARIANCES REQUESTED: Waiver from requirement to construct an additional lane along the Chenal Parkway frontage. STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to revise a previously approved site plan to re -orient a building and provide an additional drive access to the site. On July 30, 1991, the Planning Commission approved a site plan for the construction of the Roller Chenal Funeral Home. Approved at that same time was a 22,500 square foot office building to the east of the funeral home building. The two buildings are proposed to share the driveway. The revised site plan simply rotates the building from facing due west to oriented parallel with the funeral home building facing north-west. An additional drive to the east of the new building exiting onto West Markham is proposed. A. PROPOSAL/REOUEST: Review and approval of a proposed revised site plan is requested of the Planning Commission. In lieu of the building facing west as approved by the Commission on July 30, 1991, the request is to orient the new building in a north-west direction, parallel with the newly constructed funeral home building. An additional drive to serve the rear of the proposed building is requested. Access for that drive would be gained by way of West Markham Street. No January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 10 (Continued) FILE NO • S -753-C additional changes to the previously approved site plan are requested. A waiver from the requirement to construct an additional traffic lane on Chenal Parkway will be sought from the Board of Directors. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is occupied by the new Roller Chenal Funeral Home, with the location of the proposed building immediately to the east of this building. The site has been cleared and construction of the office building is immanent. The zoning of the site is 0-3, with 0-3 zoned land to the east and south. To the west is C-3 zoned property. To the north is Chenal Parkway, which is zoned R-2, with MF -18 property to the north of the Parkway. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The City Engineering office reports that an additional lane must be constructed on Chenal Parkway to meet Master Street Plan standards. The Detention and Excavation Ordinances are applicable. Water Works reports that there are no comments on this item. Wastewater reports that a sewer main extension, with easements, will be required. The existing private sewer main must be dedicated to Wastewater Utility as a public sewer prior to the main extension. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Fire Department noted that an additional on-site fire hydrant may be required. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: The site was reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved on July 30, 1991. At that time, the two buildings and a common drive and associated parking were approved. The current application involves changing the orientation of the second building and adding a drive onto West Markham. This is the extent of the change since the site plan was reviewed in 1991. Associated with the current review of the revised site plan, the City Engineering office has added a requirement that an additional lane must be constructed on Chenal Parkway. The applicant intends to pursue a waiver from this requirement to the Board of Directors. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 10 (Continued) FILE NO • S -753-C E. ANALYSIS• The change in the plan from the original approval is not substantive. The orientation of the building and the addition of a secondary drive to Markham are not substantial changes, and there are no problems indicated in the review with making the requested changes. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the revised site plan. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) The applicant's representative, Mr. Frank Riggins, was present. Staff presented the request and Mr. Riggins reviewed the deficiencies noted in the discussion outline. The Committee reviewed the plans and the request. There was a discussion on the new requirement that an additional traffic lane be added on Chenal Parkway. Mr. Riggins indicated that he would initiate a request to waive the requirement. The Committee forwarded the item to the Commission for review. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) The item was included on the Consent Agenda for approval, and was approved with the vote of 7 ayes, no nays, 4 absent, and no abstentions. 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 11 FILE NO.: Z -3844-C NAME: LOCATION: OWNER/APPLICANT: Arch Street Church of Christ - Revised Conditional Use Permit 11820 Fairview Road Arch Street Church of Christ by Basil Copeland, Elder PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for the revision of a previously approved CUP which allowed for the construction of a church on this MF -6 zoned, 1 1/2 acre site. ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS: 1. Site Location The proposed church site is located on the east side of Fairview Road, north of Woodland Heights Road and east of Cedar Branch Drive. 2. Compatibility with Neighborhood The zoning and uses in the immediate vicinity are mixed, ranging from single family homes to large apartment complexes and office buildings. Single family homes are located adjacent to the north and across Fairview Road to the west. Farther to the west are several large apartment complexes. The property adjacent to the south and east of this site has recently been rezoned 0-3 and is currently vacant. A large area of office zoning extends farther to the south and east of the site. This revised site plan does a better job of screening the adjacent single family homes from the church parking lot and staff feels that the proposed use should be compatible with the neighborhood. 3. On -Site Drives and Parking The proposed sanctuary will seat 250 persons, requiring 62 on-site parking spaces. The site plan, as submitted, shows 84 on-site parking spaces, four of which are designated as handicapped parking. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 11 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -3844-C 4. Screening and Buffers Compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances is required with attention given to screening the single family residences adjacent to the north and across Fairview Road to the west. 5. City Engineer Comments Master Street Plan improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk will be required on Fairview Road. Detention and Excavation Ordinances apply. 6. Utility Comments A sewer main is located on the west side of Fairview Road. The applicant should verify elevations of the existing sewer main to determine if service is available. If no service is available from this existing sewer main, a sewer main extension will be required with easements. AP&L requires a 15 foot utility easement along each of the four property lines. 7. Analysis This proposed site plan is basically a transposition of the site plan approved by the Planning Commission on August 24, 1993. This plan puts the proposed building on the front part of the property, with the parking lot located behind it. The previously approved site plan had the parking lot on the front part of the site, with the building to be located to the rear. The applicant has stated that this revised site plan will result in a more compatible presentation of the building and parking to the neighborhood. Staff agrees with this supposition. The church will consist of a single building housing a 250 seat sanctuary and the usual associated uses such as classroom space and fellowship hall. with attention given to screening the adjacent residential properties, staff is supportive of this revised site plan. 8. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of this application subject to compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances and compliance with the City Engineer and Utility Comments. 2 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 11 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -3844-C SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) Basil Copeland was present representing Arch Street Church of Christ. Staff presented the item and outlined the City Engineer and Utility Comments noted above. The applicant was requested to provide additional details on the proposed signage and parking lot lighting. Mr. Copeland stated that the sign would be a monument type sign and that further details would be forthcoming. The Committee determined that there were no other outstanding issues and forwarded this item to the full Commission for final resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) Basil Copeland was present representing Arch Street Church of Christ. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and informed the Commission that all items of concern had been addressed and that there were no outstanding issues. The church sign will be a ground mounted, masonry, monument sign not to exceed 6 feet in height or 8 feet in width. The parking lot lighting is low-level and directional. The Commission then placed this item on the Consent Agenda for approval as recommended by staff. The vote was 7 ayes, 0 noes and 4 absent. 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 12 FILE NO.: Z -4041-B NAME: LOCATION• Church of Jesus Christ - Revised Conditional Use Permit 11800 Vimy Ridge Road OWNER/APPLICANT: Church of Jesus Christ by G. A. Dudley PROPOSAL: The applicant requests a conditional use permit to allow for the revision of a previously approved CUP which permitted the expansion of the existing church and day care center located on this R-2 zoned, 3.12 acre site. The previous Planning Commission action was in 1989. The proposed expansions include a 450 seat sanctuary. The day care center will be relocated into the existing church building and will have an increased enrollment capacity of 80 children. ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS: 1. Site Location The church is located on the west side of Vimy Ridge Road, approximately 1/3 mile south of Interstate 30. 2. Compatibility with Neighborhood The predominant zonings in the area are I-2 and I-3. The church site is surrounded by various types of industrial uses, ranging from warehousing to heavy, industrial, manufacturing plants. The proposed expansion to this existing church site will not affect its compatibility with the neighborhood. 3. On -Site Drives and Parking The proposed 450 seat sanctuary requires 113 on-site parking spaces. The church currently has a paved parking lot with 49 on-site parking spaces and two driveways taking access from Vimy Ridge Road. The proposed site plan would increase the parking lot by 70 spaces, giving a total of 119 on-site parking spaces. Five handicapped parking spaces are required. January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 12 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z -4041-B 4. Screening and Buffers Compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances is required. 5. City Engineer Comments Construct half street improvements to collector street standard on Vimy Ridge Road. 6. Utility Comments No comment 7. Analysis In 1989, a conditional use permit was approved for this site which allowed for the expansion of the existing church and the addition of a day care center which was to be located in one of the existing buildings. Also approved, at that time, was an addition which would allow for the future expansion of the day care center to accommodate an enrollment of 80 children. This proposed site plan differs very little from the approved 1989 plan. Under this plan, the existing church building will be connected to the new building by an entry way and converted into the expanded day care center, again with an enrollment of 80 children. The area previously approved as a day care center addition will be a playground. The parking lot and church building expansion are the same under both plans. The capacity of the sanctuary has increased from 400, under the 1989 plan, to 450. Under both plans, the small building currently housing the day care center will be removed when the church building is expanded. If a steeple structure is constructed as part of the church building expansion, it will not exceed 70 feet in total height above grade. 8. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of this application subject to compliance with the City Engineer Comments and compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances.

January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 13 FILE NO.: Z-5768 NAME: Howard Street Church of God - Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 2101 Howard Street OWNER/APPLICANT: Howard Street Church of God by Elder Dorothy Hickman PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for the rehabilitation of the existing, nonconforming church located on this R-3 zoned property. The church suffered fire damage in September 1991 and has been vacant since that time. Due to the length of the vacancy, the church has lost its nonconforming status and must obtain a conditional use permit prior to rehabing and reoccupying the building. ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS: 1. 2. Site Location The church site is located on the east side of Howard Street, three blocks south of Wright Avenue. Compatibility with Neighborhood A church has existed at this site for 40 to 50 years and the current congregation has been located here since 1978. The immediate neighborhood is almost exclusively single family residential, zoned R-3. A large area of R-4 zoning, occupied by single family homes and some duplexes, is located to the east of the church site. As this application is to allow the rehabilitation of an existing church building which has a 40 to 50 year history in this neighborhood, staff feels that the proposal is compatible with the neighborhood. 3. On -Site Drives and Parking There is an existing, gravel parking area which might accommodate 8 to 10 vehicles on site. The applicant is proposing to construct a new parking lot behind the church January 4, 1994 ITEM NO • 13 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z-5768 building. This new parking lot will hold approximately 16 vehicles. The applicant is requesting a three year deferral of the paving requirement for this new parking lot. The sanctuary has seating for 150 persons, requiring 38 on-site parking spaces under current ordinance regulations. A variance is also requested from the required number of parking spaces. 4. Screening and Buffers Compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances is required. A six foot opaque screen is required where adjacent to residential properties. 5. City Engineer Comments No comments 6. Utility Comments No comments 7. Analysis The applicant requests a conditional use permit to allow for the rehabilitation and reoccupancy of this existing church building. A church existed at this site for 40 to 50 years, until the building suffer fire damage in 1991. The current congregation of approximately 20 members is meeting in members' homes. The church has never had adequate on-site parking facilities and the membership has parked on the neighborhood streets. In an effort to eliminate some of the on -street parking, the applicant is proposing to construct a small parking lot on the rear portion of the church property. The proposed new parking lot, located behind the building, must comply with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances in order to protect the adjacent single family residences. Staff is supportive of this effort to rehabilitate and reoccupy this vacant church building. 8. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the application, subject to compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances. Staff also recommends approval of the requested three year deferral of the paving requirement for the new parking lot and of a variance from the required number of on-site parking spaces. E January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 13 (Continued) FILE NO • Z-5768 BDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 9, 1993) Elder Dorothy Hickman was present representing the Howard Street Church of God. Staff presented the item and noted the requested paving deferral and parking variance. Ms. Hickman stated that she was having a proper site plan drawn to reflect the design of the new parking lot. She was instructed to meet with Bob Brown, Plans Review Specialist, to determine landscape and buffer requirements. A brief discussion then followed concerning the required number of on-site parking spaces. It was pointed out to the applicant that the required number of on-site parking spaces would be reduced if seating was limited to 100 persons in the sanctuary. Elder Hickman agreed to this reduction in sanctuary seating. The required number of on-site parking spaces for a 100 seat sanctuary is 25. The Committee determined that there were no other outstanding issues and forward this item to the full Commission for final resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) Elder Dorothy Hickman was present representing the Howard Street Church of God. There were no objectors present. Dana Carney, of the Planning staff, presented the item and informed the Commission that a revised site plan had been submitted which, with some minor modifications, addresses all staff concerns. Mr. Carney informed the Commission that the applicant had agreed to limit seating in the sanctuary to 100 persons. Mr. Carney stated that the applicant was requesting a three year deferral of the paving requirement for the new parking lot and a variance from the required number of on-site parking spaces. A 100 seat sanctuary requires 25 on-site parking spaces and the revised site plan shows 14. A discussion then followed concerning the requested variance from the required number of on-site parking spaces. In response to a question from a commissioner, Elder Hickman stated that the current membership of the congregation was about 20 persons. Mr. Carney stated that the church had been in existence for 40 to 50 years with no on-site parking and that the applicant was making a step in the right direction by constructing the 14 on-site spaces. A commissioner then urged Elder Hickman to continue to try to find additional parking spaces. 3 January 4, 1994 ITEM NO.: 13 (Continued) FILE NO • Z-5768 A motion was then made to approve the application, including the requested deferral and variance, as recommended by staff.

Details must be provided on the temporary access at the north perimeter and the median cut on Chenal Parkway. 6. Details must be provided on the proposed day care/kindergarten. Mr. Johnson stated that a revised site plan would be developed incorporating all items noted and that information would be forthcoming on other issues. Mr. White stated that the proposed temporary access on the north perimeter would be included in the site plan and the letter of agreement regarding the adjacent arterial street would be provided. It was determined that it was appropriate to tie the construction of the adjacent arterial street to Phase II of the development. Further discussion then followed on the City Engineer Comment regarding the requirement of a third lane on Chenal Parkway and on the Chenal Parkway standards in general. The Committee agreed that the adjacent single family residential properties need to be adequately screened from the church site through the use of landscaping and the land use buffer. After further discussion, the Committee then forwarded this item to the full Commission for final resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 4, 1994) Don Johnson was present representing St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. There were no objectors present.

All signage and lighting will comply with the Chenal Overlay Ordinance. d. There will be no carillon or bells associated with the bell tower. e. when Phase 2 is developed, a permanent access will be provided if the arterial street to the north has been completed. If at this time the street is not completed, then a temporary access to Chenal Blvd. will be provided, which then will become permanent once the street is built. f. The proposed day care/kindergarten is to operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 5:30 and will accommodate 71 children, ages infant to kindergarten. The letter from Deltic Farm and Timber Company, Inc. agreeing to construct the arterial street north of the church site had been received. Deltic does not want to tie the construction of the street to a particular phase of the church development. A deferral is to be requested from the Board of Directors. A 24 foot wide access drive to Chenal Parkway will be constructed on the north perimeter of the site with Phase 2. This driveway will be abandoned when the arterial street is constructed and a permanent access to the arterial street is built. Jerry Gardner, of the City Engineer's Office, addressed the Commission. He stated that a study of the Master Street Plan was taking place specifically regarding Chenal Parkway. Mr. Gardner stated that a new classification of "Parkway" was being considered which would reduce the right-of-way and lane requirement for this portion of Chenal Parkway. Based on this, Mr. Gardner stated that the City Engineer's Office was no longer asking for the construction of the additional lane on Chenal Parkway.
