(LU 15-01). FISCAL IMPACT none RECOMMENDATION Staff recommended approval. The Little Rock Planning Commission 8 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 2 open positions to approve the changes. CITIZEN The following Neighborhood Associations were contacted: PARTICIPATION Sandpiper and John Barrow. No comments were received from citizens or neighborhood groups. BACKGROUND This area of Little Rock with its scattered development still has a rural feel to it. The parcel in question was approved for a Planned Development -Residential (PD -R) with 500 units of multi -family with three phases. This development, along with Rock Creek Church, comprises over 75% of the area to be served by the Proposed Collector. BACKGROUND CONTINUED A Collector Street, by definition, provides a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. With these two developments encompassing the majority of the land in that quadrant, there are no local streets currently and none anticipated to be built. The church's property is roughly the eastern half of the area between I-430, 36th, Shady Ridge Drive and Bowman Road. The property line is where the Collector intersects 36th Street. The apartments have the majority of the western half with the exception of the corner at 36th and Bowman. With these two large property owners, no public streets are anticipated. The traffic network for the apartment complex and the church are internal to their developments. The last parcel, at the northeast corner of Bowman and 36th has frontage on both streets, so no local streets may be necessary depending on the development pattern. With the zoning of the area, if a local street were to be built, it would be built to a "commercial" standard, which is the same street section as a Collector street. 2 ORDINANCE NO. 0 3 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE MASTER STREET 4 PLAN (20,117) TO REMOVE A PROPOSED COLLECTOR 5 IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF BOWMAN ROAD 6 AND 36TH STREET (MSP15-01) AND FOR OTHER 7 PURPOSES; 8 9 WHEREAS, the Little Rock Planning Commission has reviewed the Master 10 Street Plan Amendment and now recommends it for approval. 11 12 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 13 OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK: 14 15 SECTION 1.

CURRENT MASTER STREET PLAN: A Proposed Collector is shown on the Master Street Plan connecting 36th Street and Bowman Road in the northeast quadrant of that intersection. The proposed Collector is shown north from the midpoint on 36th between 1-430 and Bowman. It curves to the west and intersects Bowman Road just south of Brook Forest Drive in the Sandpiper Creek Addition to the north. The primary function of a Collector Street is to provide a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. Both 36th Street and Bowman Road are shown as Minor Arterials in this vicinity. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Minor Arterials. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: The property between 1-430 and Bowman Road north of 36th and south of the residential subdivision is shown as Mixed Use except for a small parcel along the north side of 36th that is shown as Mixed Office Commercial. At the proposed Collector's intersection with 36th, the south side of 36th is also shown as Mixed Office Commercial. At the proposed Collector's intersection with Bowman, the west side of Bowman Road is shown as Residential Medium Density. Suburban Office is shown west of the intersection of 36th and Bowman. HISTORIC DISTRICTS: There are no historic districts that would be affected by this amendment. FILE NO.: MSP15-01 (Cont BLIC WORKS COMMENTS: The recently dedicated public right-of-way, which is a portion of the proposed collector located on the north side of W. 36th St., should be abandoned. Access, drainage, and utility easements should be maintained in place of the public right-of-way. ANALYSIS: This area of Little Rock with its scattered development still has a rural feel to it. The parcel in question was approved for a Planned Development -Residential (PD -R) with 500 units of multi -family with three phases. This development, along with Rock Creek Church, comprises over 75% of the area shown as Mixed on the plan. A Collector Street, by definition, provides a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. With these two developments encompassing the majority of the land in that quadrant, there are no local streets currently and none anticipated to be built. The church's property is roughly the eastern half of the area between 1-430, 36th, Shady Ridge Drive and Bowman Road. The property line is where the Collector intersects 36th Street. The apartments have the majority of the western half with the exception of the corner at 36th and Bowman. With these two large property owners, no public streets are anticipated. The traffic network for the apartment complex and the church are internal to their developments. The last parcel, at the northeast corner of Bowman and 36th has frontage on both streets, so no local streets may be necessary depending on the development pattern. The apartments and the church share an entrance where the proposed Collector intersects 36th Street. This will be a proposed secondary entrance to the apartments and one of two existing entrances to the church. With the zoning of the area, if a local street were to be built, it would be built to a "commercial" standard, which is the same street section as a Collector street. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations: Sandpiper and John Barrow. Staff has received no comments from area residents or neighborhood associations. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes the change is appropriate. With the proposed and existing developments, a Collector Street is not necessary at this location. 2 FILE NO.: MSP15-01 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (FEBRUARY 26, 2015) The item was placed on the consent agenda for approval. The motion passed with a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 2 open positions. 3 O p46 ap17 p vejo e apfl �rag0 qpD •qa0 el a ooci:�poo ai p'6 aauct°y pwgb4rxa0`Ogp�7 Zj �q Q 60 TJG B V A a � '•3Y °Q oQ Can 4� p tid o GHLELERT•DR 4 STpflG 4 4apAl Sao A u �EO�v vEQpQP $ -OLDS-LN d � TO 9 o °a- r` o ZH a u 4� 1 waa B A G1PL4 ull .edtw+�wi Q Q Z.,�i o 8 acmo�sU�s � �09o4rQ.3 � nGE R� F o a Lj 6 V 00°000 O Czv9=C:�O=q M to !11 a r� C�C�-x�pq� r� 0 0 o N a ®}®WNA ` r t w � o : P .
