7415 Colonel Glenn Road Little Rock, Arkansas
The 32700 square foot building at 7415 Colonel Glenn road is currently operating in two functions
by UAMS Headstart. The rear portion of the building (approximately 22000 square feet) functions
as a shipping and receiving warehouse for the UAMS Headstart program. The front portion
(approximately 12700 square feet) functions as administrative offices and classrooms for the
UAMS Headstart Program. UAMS has notified us they will not renew the lease for 2020. They
will vacate the premises as of January 31, 2020.
The rationale for this application is to renovate the vacated building at 7415 Colonel Glenn to
provide a mini -storage facility in order to generate the necessary revenue to replace the lost
revenue from the UAMS decision. The building is fully sprinkled inside and on its docks. The
building currently supports storage, shipping and receiving by a single customer. We submit to
keep this same function of storage, shipping, and receiving that has been taking place for years
into multiple customers doing the same function. The rear of this same property operates as a
storage/shipping facility now. Additional storage buildings (13 each) were added and approved
for this site as of 2018 and 2019.
The legal and structural composition of the project is to add aluminum storage buildings with
steel struts for each such mini storage. The project is estimated to partition the current shell of
a building into an estimated 300 (10x10 and/or 10x20) storage units.
The outline of the project is to stay within the current building outline that is indicated on the
submitted site plan
The sketch plan is the site plan. There are no additional buildings proposed at this time. Access
to the site will be the same as now. Access off Colonel Glenn will not change.
