BACKGROUND:
The planning commission approved rezoning this property from C-3, General Commercial
District to C-4, Open Display District in November 1993. A Conditional Use Permit was
also approved allowing a contractor's maintenance yard in the rear portion of the site.

from C-3 to PCD, Planned Commercial Development, determining the PCD was a more

appropriate zoning for the property. One condition of the BCD tied the use to a specific
owner.
The property was sold in 1999 and the contractor's yard use was discontinued under the
new ownership. The FCD was subsequently amended to allow for the conversion or the
contractor's maintenance yard for storage and Narking of vehicles with conditions not
permitting the outside storage and display of materials, no permanent storage of
inoperable trailers or vehicles, and the two existing metal buildings within the area were
for storage use only.
The property owners requested to again modify the PCD to allow the construction of
storage facilities on the rear portion of the site. The existing metal structures would be
used for ctnrage and a 4n-fnnt by 300 -font metal building Would be constructed, The
storage facilities would be gated, but users would have access around the clock.
The front portion of the site would continue to be allowed C-3, General Commercial uses.
This request was reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 28, 2018 and approved
--._: the=Board of -Directors on August 21,-24..1-8t
The applicant now seeks to convert the front portion of the site to storage use by
constructing partitions within the building.

The 32,700 -square foot building at 7415 Colonel Cienn currently has two
functions for the UAMS Head Start program. The rear portion (approximately
22,000 -square feet) serves as a shipping and receiving warehouse. The front
section (approximately 12,700 -square feet) is used as administrative offices and
classrooms. UAMS has signified their intent to vacate the premises on
January 31, 2020.
The applicant is requesting to modify the PCD to provide a mini -storage facility
within the building after the departure of the UAMS Head Start program. This
building is fully sprinklered. The partitioning of the structure is estimated to provide
an estimated 300 storage units sized either 10 -feet by 10 -feet or 10 -feet by 20 -feet
in area within the existing shell of the building.
No additional buildings are proposed at this time and site access would not be
changed.

Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve through
traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the
urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects
of traffic and pedestrians on Colonel Glenn Road since it is a Principal Arterial.
This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
