G. TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING:
Rock Region Metro: No comments received.
Planning Division: The request is in the River Mountain Planning District. The Land
Use Plan shows Suburban Office (SO) for the requested area. The Suburban Office
(SO) category shall provide for low intensity development of office or office parks in
close proximity to lower density residential areas to assure compatibility. A Planned
Zoning District is required. The application is to change the property from PDO
(Planned Development Office) District and R-2 (Single-Family Residential District) to
PCD (Planned Commercial Development) District to allow for the future development
of commercial uses. The request is not consistent with the Land Use Plan. This site
is in the Highway 10 Design Overlay District and subject to those regulations as well.
The Land Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) to the north. To the west, the
Plan shows Park/Open Space (PK/OS) then Transition (T), north of Cantrell Road. To
the south, across Cantrell Road is Residential Low Density (RL) and Transition (T).
To the east, the Plan shows Suburban Office (SO) then Mixed Use (MX) and
Commercial (C). The Residential Low Density (RL) category provides for single family
homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential
development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes, but may
also include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density
remain less than 6 units per acre. The land to the north of the application area is
vacant and wooded, while the RL land south of Cantrell Road is part of a developed
single-family subdivision. The Park/Open Space (PK/OS) category includes all public
parks, recreation facilities, greenbelts, flood plains, and other designated open space
and recreational land. This area is the floodplain/floodway of Taylor Loop Creek.
Transition (T) is a Land Use Plan designation that provides for an orderly transition
between residential uses and other more intense uses. Transition was established to
deal with areas which contain zoned residential uses and nonconforming
nonresidential uses. A Planned Zoning District is required unless the application
conforms to the Design Overlay standards. Uses that may be considered are low-
density multi-family residential and office uses if the proposals are compatible with
quality of life in nearby residential areas. The uses in the Transition area north of
Cantrell Road are office. South of Cantrell Road there is a private school, office and
residential structure in the Transition area. The Suburban Office (SO) category shall
provide for low intensity development of office or office parks in close proximity to lower
density residential areas to assure compatibility. A Planned Zoning District is required.
August 12, 2021

This area has offices as well as a drive-thru restaurant. The Mixed use (MX) category
provides for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur. A Planned
Zoning District is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a
mixture of the three. Several retail commercial uses are located in the MX area. The
Commercial (C) category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of
products, personal and professional services, and general business activities.
Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they
serve. The Commercial area consists of a couple retail strip-centers and stand-alone
retail businesses.
Master Street Plan: To the south is Cantrell Road and it is shown as a Principal
Arterial on the Master Street Plan. To the west is Rummel Road, it is a Local Street
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
Cantrell Road since it is a Principal Arterial. Local Streets that are abutted by non-
residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as
“Commercial Streets”. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may
require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class I Bike Path is shown along Cantrell Road. A Bike Path
is to be a paved path physically separate for the use of bicycles. Additional right-of-
way or an easement is recommended. Nine-foot paths are recommended to allow for
pedestrian use as well (replacing the sidewalk).
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to rezone the 3.803 acre property located at 15122 Cantrell
road from “PD-O” Planned District – Office and “R-2” Single Family Residential to
“PCD” Planned Commercial District. The property is located at the northeast corner of
Cantrell Road and Rummel Road. The rezoning is requested to allow a one (1) lot
development to include a 3,600 square foot restaurant building and a 20,012 square
foot shopping center structure.
The proposed 3,600 square foot restaurant building will be located within the east
quarter of the property. The restaurant use will include a drive-thru window on the
building’s west side, with a menu board on the east side. Paved parking and internal
drives will be located along all sides of the restaurant building.
The proposed 20,012 square foot shopping center structure will be located within the
west three-quarters of the property. Paved parking and internal access drives will also
be located along all sides of the shopping center building. It appears that the applicant
has designed the internal drives to accommodate a drive-thru window at the west end
of the shopping center building.
August 12, 2021
ITEM NO.: A (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-5817-K

The applicant is requesting the following uses for the shopping center building:
• C-2 permitted uses
• Food store under 5,000 square feet of gross floor
area, with sales of beer or wine
• Private club with dining or bar service
The applicant notes that the hours of operation will be as follows:
Restaurant building – 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Daily
Shopping Center building – 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.,
Monday – Saturday
– 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday
“We believe the vast majority of the tenants will be opening later and
closing earlier than the times stated.”
“If there is an all night pharmacy or urgent care medical, they would
need to stay open all night.”
The applicant notes that the buildings will have maximum heights of 35 feet. The
applicant also notes that the buildings’ exterior façade construction will consist of a
combination of brick, stone, glass and metal.
The applicant is showing a 4,015 square foot area for outdoor storage along the west
property line. The site plan notes that this area will be screened. Staff does not support
the use of an outdoor storage area.
The proposed site plan shows two (2) driveways from Cantrell Road. Each driveway
will have a width of 36 feet. The applicant proposes to have one (1) driveway from
Rummel Road at the northwest corner of the site. This driveway will be a gated
emergency access driveway. The gated area will include a Knox box for emergency
access.
The proposed site plan shows a total of 109 off-street paved parking spaces. The
proposed uses would typically require 102 parking spaces. The proposed number of
parking spaces should be sufficient to serve the proposed buildings.
The proposed site plan shows two (2) dumpster locations for the proposed buildings.
The applicant notes that the dumpster areas will be screened as per ordinance
requirements.
August 12, 2021
ITEM NO.: A (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-5817-K

The applicant also notes that all site lighting will be low-level and will not reflect onto
adjacent properties.
The applicant is proposing two (2) ground-mounted, monument-type signs along the
Cantrell Road frontage, one (1) at each driveway location. The signs will have
maximum heights of 10 feet and maximum sign areas of 100 square feet. Sections
36-346 (f) (1) and (2) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance (Highway 10 DOD) allow one (1)
ground-mounted, monument-type sign per development or building site. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a second ground-mounted sign. Staff
supports the variance request.
The applicant notes that the land use buffers along the north and east perimeters
average at least 25 feet wide. Section 36-521 requires that a minimum of 70 percent
of land use buffers be undisturbed. The applicant notes that more than 30 percent of
the required buffers will be disturbed and is requesting a variance. Staff does not
support this variance request. There are numerous parking spaces located within the
rear and east side 25 foot buffer areas. Staff does not believe that the proposed buffers
meet with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
The proposed site plan shows a stormwater detention paved along the Cantrell Road
frontage at the southwest corner of the overall site. A detailed hydrology and hydraulic
analysis which complies with all codes and manuals must be submitted prior to release
of a building permit for any construction on this site.
The applicant submitted a traffic study for the proposed site development. The traffic
study concluded the following:
“The conclusion of traffic operational findings associated with this
study is that additional traffic expected to be generated by the
proposed Cantrell West development can be accommodated by the
existing adjacent roadway and the access drives as proposed
without discernable impact on traffic flow in the vicinity. Additionally,
the site is well designed with two well-spaced access drives along
Cantrell Road and very good accommodation for internal vehicular
circulation. Ingress, egress and internal vehicular circulation are
expected to operate well with minimal to no vehicle queuing issues
at the site access drives or on Cantrell Road.”
The proposed site plan indicates a 10 foot wide open cut along the north property line.
According to the Planning and Development Engineering Division:
“The hillside vertical cut should be placed at least 10 ft. from the north
property line to provide evergreen plantings and a swale to divert
August 12, 2021
ITEM NO.: A (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-5817-K
11
stormwater per the following requirements found in CLR Code Sec.
29-190:
• Terraces shall be landscaped with dense evergreen
plantings sufficient to screen the cut or fill slope. The
terrace may be sloped to drain up to one (1) foot in ten
(10) feet of width.
• Development shall be planned to fit topography, soils,
geology, hydrology, and other existing site conditions.
• Provisions shall be made for safety against unstable
slopes or slopes subject to erosion and deterioration.
The city official may require certified geotechnical
analysis for sliding and global stability safety.
• The potential for soil loss shall be minimized by
retaining natural vegetation wherever possible.
• Appropriate provisions such as those in the stormwater
management and drainage manual shall be used to
accommodate stormwater runoff and soil loss
occasioned by changed soil and surface conditions
during and after development, including the use of
vegetation and limitations on soil exposure.”
Staff does not support the requested PCD rezoning. Staff does not believe the request
is reasonable. Staff believes the proposed development is too intense for this site. The
property is designated as “SO” Suburban Office by the City’s Future Land Use Plan
and is located at the intersection of Cantrell Road and Rummel Road, a
local/residential street which serves only single family residences and dead-ins
approximately 3,000 feet to the northern. Additionally, the property is located adjacent
to R-2 zoned property to the north and across Rummel Road to the west and
northwest. The property across Cantrell Road contains single family residences and
a small office zoned property. Staff believes that a less intense commercial or office
use will be most appropriate for this property.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the requested PCD rezoning.

G. TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING:
Rock Region Metro: No comments received.
Planning Division: The request is in the West Little Rock Planning District. The
Land Use Plan shows Suburban Office (SO) for the requested area. The Suburban
Office (SO) category shall provide for low intensity development of office or office
parks in close proximity to lower density residential areas to assure compatibility.
A Planned Zoning District is required. The application is a revision to an existing
POD (Planned Commercial Development) District to allow a larger expansion area
for the office use.
Surrounding the application area, the Land Use Plan shows Residential Low
Density (RL) to the west and north. Suburban Office (SO) use is to the south of
the site. Commercial (C) is on the Plan to the east. To the northeast the Plan
August 12, 2021
ITEM NO.: B (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9480-A

shows Mixed Use (MX). Residential Low Density (RL) category provides for single
family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential
development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes, but
may also include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the
density remain less than 6 units per acre. The area is an existing developed single-
family platted neighborhood. The Suburban Office (SO) category shall provide for
low intensity development of office or office parks in close proximity to lower
density residential areas to assure compatibility. A Planned Zoning District is
required. There are two professional office uses on this land. The Commercial (C)
category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal
and professional services, and general business activities. Commercial activities
vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they serve. This area is
the Park Plaza Mall. The Mixed Use (MX) category provides for a mixture of
residential, office and commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning District is
required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a mixture of the
three. There are an office tower, apartment towner, rehab facility and office/retail
building within the MX area.
Master Street Plan: To the east is McKinley Street, it is a Local Street on the
Master Street Plan. The primary function of Local Streets is to provide access to
adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use
or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as “Commercial Streets”.
This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class III Bike Route shown on McKinley Street. Bike
Routes require no additional right-of-way, but either a sign or pavement marking
to identify and direct the route.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to revise the previously approved POD zoning for this
property in order to construct a larger two-story addition to the rear of the existing
building. The building addition previously approved was a 24 foot by 33 foot
addition. The previously approved addition had a rear setback of 10 feet, and side
setbacks of over 15 feet. The height of the building addition was not discussed
with the POD approved. However, the underlying R-2 zoning allows a maximum
building height of 35 feet.
The applicant is now proposing an addition to the rear of the building with an area
of 24 feet by 54 feet. The proposed building addition will maintain the 10 foot rear
setback as was previously approved. The proposed building addition will be set
back 7 feet – 4 inches from the south side property line and 24 feet – 8 inches from
the north side property line.
August 12, 2021
ITEM NO.: B (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9480-A
7
The applicant is proposing that the revised addition be two (2) stories in height.
The proposed addition will be approximately 22 feet in height, as measured from
the finished floor to mid point of the roof slope. The overall height of the addition,
from finished floor to roof peak, will be 25 feet – 5 inches.
The larger building footprint for the proposed addition is the only change proposed
to the previously approved POD zoning for this property. All other aspects and
conditions of the previous approval shall remain in full effect.
Staff is supportive of the requested revised POD to allow a larger two-story building
addition. Staff views the request as reasonable. As noted previously, the
underlying R-2 zoning allows a building height of 35 feet, as reasonable for the
finished floor to the mid point of the roof slope. Although the building addition will
be located 10 feet from the rear (west) property line, staff feels that planting mid-
level evergreen trees between the building addition and the rear property line will
aid in buffering the building from the adjacent residences to the west. The
underlying R-2 zoning requires a minimum rear setback of 25 feet. Staff will also
require that there be no exterior lighting on the building addition. Staff believes the
revised POD to allow a larger building addition will have no adverse impact on the
surrounding properties.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested Revised POD zoning, subject to
compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F,
and the staff analysis, of the agenda staff report.
Staff also recommends that mid-level evergreen trees be planted between the
building addition and the rear property line and that the building addition have no
exterior lighting. The number and type of evergreen trees will need to be shown
on the landscape plan for the development and approved by City staff.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to rezone the 0.32 acre property located at the southeast
corner of East 16th Street and Barber Street from “R-4”Two-Family District to “PD-
R” Planned District – Residential. The property is comprised of two (2) platted lots;
Lots 11 and 12, Block 31, Masonic Addition. The rezoning is proposed in order to
subdivide the lots into eight (8) lots for a zero (0) lot line single family residential
development. The proposed lots will be sold individually.
Four (4) of the proposed lots will be 34 feet by 50 feet in area, with the other four
(4) lots having an area of 26 feet by 50 feet. Parking will be located at the east
end of the lots and accessed from the existing paved alley right-of-way. There will
be a 14 foot wide utility and access easement through the center of the property
which will allow access from the parking to the residences.
The proposed residences on Lots 1 and 5 will be 22 feet by 35 feet in area. The
proposed residences will have building setbacks ranging from four (4) feet to 10
feet.
The proposed residences on Lots 2, 3, 6 and 7 will be 18 feet by 35 feet in area.
The proposed residences will have building setbacks ranging from zero (0) feet to
10 feet.
The proposed residences on Lots 4 and 8 will have building areas of 24 feet by 35
feet. These proposed residences will have building setbacks ranging from zero (0)
feet to 10 feet.
The proposed residences will be one (1) and two (2) story structures. The
structures will not exceed 35 feet in height, which is the typical maximum building
height in single family zones. The residences will be constructed using a mixture
of brick, Hardie siding, vinyl, metal and wood for the exterior façade materials.
The applicant is proposing 10 parking spaces at the east end of the proposed
development to serve the proposed residences. The parking spaces will be
accessed from the existing paved alley right-of-way along the east property line.
The applicant will need to form a property owners’ association to address
maintenance of the proposed parking area. The ordinance typically requires one
(1) parking space for a single family residence. One (1) or two (2) of the proposed
parking spaces may have to be eliminated to provide required landscaping. Either
way, staff believes there is sufficient parking to serve the proposed residences.

The applicant is proposing a mail kiosk along the East 16th Street frontage. The
mailbox kiosk location must be constructed in conformance with USPS and City of
Little Rock design standards and be ADA accessible.
The applicant also notes that trash will be collected using standard City of Little
Rock garbage collection.
There is no signage proposed for this development.
Any site lighting must be low-level and directed away from adjacent properties.
The applicant provided responses and additional information to all issues raised
during staff’s review of the application. The applicant is requesting no variances
with the proposed PD-R zoning.
To staff’s knowledge, the only outstanding issue relates to the required
sight/distance at the corner of East 16th Street and Barber Street. A portion of the
proposed residential structure on Lot 4 is located within the required sight triangle
at this intersection. Staff believes this issue can be resolved with a smaller
proposed building footprint for this lot. The applicant will need to resolve this issue
by proposing a smaller building footprint to be approved by the City prior to
application for a building permit.
Staff is supportive of the requested PD-R zoning to allow an eight (8) lot, zero (0)
lot line single family residential development. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property is located in an area predominately zoned R-4. There
is a scattering of duplex and multi-unit structures throughout this area. A similar
small lot single family residential development is located to the southwest across
I-30. The proposed development will represent a quality in-fill type development.
Staff believes the proposed increased density will have no adverse impact on the
surrounding properties.

Staff recommends approval of the requested PD-R zoning, subject to compliance
with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F, and the staff
analysis, of the agenda staff report.

H. ANALYSIS:
On April 8, 2021 the Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat for the Ada
Lane Subdivision. The approval included the subdivision of a 4.52 acres into four
(4) lots. The property is located on the north side of Ada Lane , east of Dreher
Road and north of Ironton Cutoff Road. The property is not zoned, as it is located
outside the Little Rock city limits. The property is located within the City’s
Extraterritorial Subdivision Jurisdiction.
Lots 1, 3 and 4 are approved to be 0.92 acre in size, with 131 feet to 135 feet in
lot width and 306 feet in lot depth. Lot 2 is approved to be 1.76 acres in area, with
lot dimensions of 250 feet by 306 feet. All lots are approved for single family
residential development, with all lots being final platted at the same time.
All of the approved lots will have street frontage along Ada Lane. Additional right-
of-way dedication is proposed for Ada Lane with this preliminary plat.
The lots will have building setback lines as follows:
Front – 25 feet
Sides – 10 feet
Rear – 15 feet
An easement will be dedicated for the existing power transmission lines which run
north/south through the center of the overall property. The easement will be
located along both sides of the dividing side property line between Lots 2 and 3.
As a condition of the previous approval, the north half of Ada Lane adjacent to the
subject property is required by the Boundary Street Ordinance to be improved to
the residential street standard as found in the Master Street Plan. Ada Lane
currently is a paved chip seal 15 ft. wide street with open ditches. The Boundary
Street Ordinance requires widening of Ada Lane approximately 5.5 ft., installing
curb and gutter, drainage pipe, and a 5 ft. sidewalk.

The applicant is now requesting a revision to the previously approved preliminary
plat by requesting a waiver of the Boundary Street Ordinance requirements as they
apply to Ada Lane.
To staff’s knowledge, there are no outstanding issues related to this preliminary
plat request. The applicant has done a good job in addressing issues as raised by
staff during staff’s review of this plat. The subdividing of this property should have
no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
With respect to the requested waiver of street improvements to Ada Lane, staff
recommends approval. The property is located in a more rural type area, located
between I-530 and Arch Street Pike, south of W. Dixon Road. The property is
located in the City’s Extraterritorial Subdivision jurisdiction and not zoned. The
property recently contained six (6) manufactured homes in addition to the existing
stick-built residence. The manufactured homes existed on the site for a number
of years and were recently removed. The approved plat is for four (4) single family
lots. This should represent a reduction in the amount of traffic to and from this site
than previously existed when the site contained seven (7) residences. Additionally,
Ada Lane dead ends approximately 450 feet to the east and is accessed by only
a small number of lots and carries a low volume of traffic.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the revised preliminary plat, subject to compliance
with the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and
E, and the staff analysis, of the agenda staff report.
2. A construction permit for the installation of septic systems on all lots must be
obtained from the Arkansas Department of Health prior to completion of a final
plat for this subdivision.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 12, 2021)
The applicant was present. There were no persons present registered in support or
opposition. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the
“staff recommendation” above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on
the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff, including all staff comments
and conditions. The vote was 10 ayes, 0 nays, 0 absent and 1 open position.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to subdivide 7.70 acres into three (3) lots for future
commercial development. The property is located at 17815 Cantrell Road
(southwest corner of Cantrell Road and Chenonceau Blvd.) and is zoned “C-3”
General Commercial District. The site is located within the Highway 10 Design
Overlay District.

A two-story single family residence is located within the south half of the overall
property. A single driveway from Cantrell Road serves as access to the property.
The majority of the property is undeveloped and tree covered. A 50 foot wide
undisturbed buffer exists along the west side property line where adjacent to single
family residential zoning.
The proposed lots will range in size from 2.006 acres to 2.8548 acres. The
proposed plat shows a 40 foot wide landscape buffer along the Cantrell Road
frontage, as required by the Highway 10 Design Overlay District. The plat also
shows a 100 foot platted building line from the north property line and a 25 foot
platted building line along the east property boundary. The setbacks conform to
ordinance standards.
The applicant is proposing two (2) driveway locations from Cantrell Road and one
(1) driveway from Chenonceau Blvd. at the southeast corner of the overall site.
The two (2) driveways from Cantrell Road will be shared drives, between Lots 1
and 2 and Lots 2 and 3. All of the driveways will be located within 60 foot wide
access and utility easements, which will allow cross-access between the lots.
The applicant is requesting one (1) variance with respect to the driveway locations.
Section 31-210 of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance requires that driveways from
arterial streets be located at least 300 feet back from an intersecting right-of-way.
The east proposed driveway from Cantrell Road will be located approximately 180
feet back from the intersecting right-of-way of Chenonceau Blvd. This section also
requires that driveways be located at least 125 feet from side property lines. The
driveway from Chenonceau Blvd. at the southeast corner of the property will be
located approximately 45 feet back from the south property line. Staff is supportive
of the variance request, as the applicant is proposing three (3) shared driveways
for three (3) lots which have two (2) street frontages. Staff views this request as
reasonable.
The applicant proposes to final plat the lots one (1) at a time, as they are sold. The
site will be graded in one (1) phase with development of the infrastructure. Based
on the fact that the interior driveways have cross access between all of the lots, an
advanced grading variance will not be required to grade the area of the lots with
the infrastructure.
As part of the property development, the applicant is requesting to remove the
small median at the south end of the large median within the Chenonceau Blvd.
right-of-way. This is proposed to allow north bound left turns from the subject
property onto Chenonceau Blvd. Staff supports the removal of the small median
as long as the applicant submits an Intersection Sight Distance Certification in
conformance with AASHTO standards prior to any work within the right-of-way.

As noted in Paragraph D. of the staff report (Engineering comment #3),
Engineering requires a right turn lane along the Cantrell Road frontage to
Chenonceau Blvd. However, ARDOT has denied the widening of Cantrell Road
for the right turn lane.
To staff’s knowledge, there are no outstanding issues related to this preliminary
plat request. The applicant has done a good job in addressing issues as raised by
staff during staff’s review of this plat. The subdividing of this property should have
no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.

nonconforming warehouse structure is located immediately to the north, with
clinical uses, a post office, community center and police sub-station located further
north and northeast.
The applicant requests a special use permit to operate a day care family home at
6824 Fairfield Drive. The applicant proposes to care for up to ten (10) children.
The applicant proposes to operate the day care use from 6:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. The day care will be closed on state and federal holidays.
In addition to the applicant/resident, Angela Jackson, Ms. Jackson’s mother,
Sheilar Hatton will be an additional caregiver who will report to the site on a daily
or as needed basis.
The applicant’s home is a one-story brick and frame structure, and is typical of
other homes in this general area. The rear yard is fenced and should provide a
safe play area for the proposed day care family home. There is a one-car wide
driveway from Fairfield Drive, with parking for three (3) vehicles including the
carport.
The existing driveway on the site will be reserved for drop-off/pick-up of children.
There is an existing gravel area on the west side of the driveway/carport area. The
gravel area has been used for parking for over 30 years. If the applicant proposes
to use the gravel area for her and her mother to park on, the area will need to be
upgraded to low-impact development standards with borders, and accessed only
from the existing driveway. The applicant also has the option of widening the
existing driveway to a two (2) car width.
The principal use of the property will remain single family residential. No signage
beyond that allowed in single family zones will be permitted. The applicant
submitted a copy of the Bill of Assurance for this neighborhood, which was
recorded in 1964 and appears to still be in effect. The Bill of Assurance contains
the following language:
“This lot shall not be used except for residential purposes. No
building shall be erected, altered, placed or permitted to remain
on this lot other than one single family dwelling not to exceed two
and one-half stories in height and a private garage for not more
than two cars.”
Section 36-54 (e) (3) of the City of Little Rock Zoning Ordinance establishes the
site and location criteria for day care family homes as follows:
Day care family home:
a. This use may be located only in a single family home, occupied by the care
giver and which is the full time residence of the care giver.
August 12, 2021
ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9600

b. Must be operated within licensing procedures established by the State of
Arkansas. State regulations shall control the number of employees residing off
premises.
c. The use is limited ten (10) children including the care givers.
d. The minimum to qualify for special use permit is six (6) children from
households other than the care givers.
e. This use must obtain a special use permit in all districts where day care centers
are not allowed by right.
f. After the effective date of this subsection, no Special Use Permit will be
approved for a day care family proposed to be located within 300 feet of a
licensed day care center or an operating day care family home for which a
Special Use Permit has previously been approved. For the purposes of this
subsection, the distance between properties shall be measured in a straight
line without regard to intervening structures or objects, from property line to
property line.
g. All day care family homes located in the City of Little Rock are required to obtain
a City of Little Rock business license and to pay an annual business tax as
specified in Chapter 17. of the Code.
h. A copy of the day care family home’s current State of Arkansas license must
be submitted to the City Collector’s Office each year at the time of payment of
the annual business tax.
i. All vehicles must be parked on an on-site paved surface.
j. All vehicles located on the site must be operational.
k. All pick-up and drop-off of children shall be on the property’s driveway and not
on the public right-of-way unless otherwise approved by the Planning
Commission.
l. Special Use Permits for day care family homes shall be reviewed by staff every
three (3) years for compliance with the development criteria and Planning
Commission approval.
m. The Fire Marshal must approve use of the residence for the proposed day care
family home.
Special Use Permits are not transferable in any manner. Permits cannot be
transferred from owner to owner, location to location or use to use.
To staff’s knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this
application. Staff feels that the proposed day care family home at this location will
have no adverse impact on the general area. Based on an area survey conducted
by staff, there are no permitted/licensed day care family homes or day care centers
within 300 feet of the site. The Little Rock Fire Marshal has inspected the site and
approved use of the residence as a day care family home.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the development
of a 16-unit townhouse project on two (2) lots. The property consists of
approximately 0.93 acre, with street frontage along N. Pierce Street, “B” Street and
“C” Street. The proposed townhomes will be individually sold and not rented. The
property is located within the Midtown Design Overlay District.
The project will include four (4) buildings, with four (4) townhomes in each building.
There will be two (2) buildings on each of the two (2) proposed lots. The applicant
notes that the townhomes will be between 1,500 and 1,800 square feet in area,
with the units being a mixture of two (2) and three (3) bedroom structures. The
structures will be two (2) stories, with building heights not to exceed 35 feet. The
exterior facades of the structures will be brick, stone and wood siding.
The proposed buildings will face “B” Street, “C” Street and N. Pierce Street. The
buildings will be located back 20 feet from the north, south and east property lines.
Sidewalks will extend from the front of each building to its respective street.
There will be one (1) entry drive from N. Pierce Street. The driveway will extend
between the two (2) buildings along N. Pierce Street to a parking lot near the center
of the site. The parking lot will contain 24 paved parking spaces. The parking
conforms to ordinance standards.
Any dumpster/trash collection area shall be oriented away from the streets and
screened per Section 36-253 of the code.
If a ground-mounted sign is requested, it must be a monument-type sign and have
a maximum height of six (6) feet and a maximum area of twenty-four (24) square
feet. Signs must be located within required landscaped area of the parking lot.
Any site lighting shall be low-level and directed away from adjacent properties.
All new utilities shall be buried (as per the Midtown DOD requirements).
Section 36-389 (h) (7) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance (Midtown DOD) reads as
follows:
“(7) Trees greater than fourteen (14) inches in diameter,
measured at four and one-half (4.5) feet above the

ground, shall be protected from removal and damages in
future development of the district. Any development
within fifty (50) feet of any such tree shall be reviewed
prior to development to assure protective measures are
included and in place.”
It appears that there are one (1) to four (4) trees on the site that may qualify with
the above standards, and that one (1) or two (2) trees will be in the way of proposed
improvements to the site. The applicant is requesting a variance to remove those
trees from the site. Staff supports the variance request, as staff views the
requirement to be more oriented to commercial developments and not residential
developments. To staff’s knowledge, the proposed site development plan will
conform to all other landscape requirements.
The applicant provided responses and additional information to all issues raised
during staff’s review of the application. To staff’s knowledge, there are no
outstanding issues.
Staff is supportive of the requested conditional use permit to allow a 16-unit
townhome development. Staff views the request as reasonable. The project
should prove to be a quality in-fill type development in the Midtown area. Existing
multifamily developments, including condominiums, are located immediately west
and east of the subject property. Staff believes the proposed development will
have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

ANALYSIS:
The area requesting annexation is contiguous with the City limits in the northern part of
the parcel along its northern boundary. The City of Little Rock annexed the area to the
north of the site - in 1970 with Ordinance 12406 (Little Rock Port Annexation). The
annexation area has been farm land or wooded since at least the 1960s. The portion
east of Zeuber Road from the City Limits south to Zeuber Road is currently mostly wooded
with an AT&T facility on the northwest most 2.38 acres. The portion of area being
annexed south of Zeuber Road is wooded on the western approximately third. A newly
constructed Amazon warehouse structure is on the eastern 80-plus acres.
The entire region in which the annexation is located (both areas currently with in the City
and outside) is protected by a levee system. The area has a general slope from north to
south. The land falls off only eight feet in the approximately 3900 feet from northwest to

southeast. There is an additional four-foot fall along a drainage way which is located
close to the southwestern boundary of the annexation. Two areas are within the 100-
year floodplain. The first in just north and east of Zeuber Road where it bends from a
north-south to an east-west road within the annexation area. This area is around 5 acres
in size. The second area is a larger area in the southwest corner on the annexation area.
The second area is closer to 20 acres in size.
The property currently is not zoned. There is no zoning outside the City in this area. The
land within the city to the north and northeast is zoned I-3, Heavy Commercial District.
This land is part of the Port Industrial Park. It is partially developed with manufacturing
and industrial structures. While the land to the northwest is zoned AF, Agriculture and
Forestry District. This land is partially developed with a single-family subdivision. This is
the eastern edge of the College Station Community. All the lands to the east, west and
south are not zoned and are outside the current City Limits. Most of this land is either
agricultural in use or wooded. There are about a half dozen single-family houses along
Zeuber Road, west of the annexation area. About half of these houses have been
acquired by the Little Rock Port in the last year. To the east, along Zeuber Road at the
Fourche Dam Pike/Thibault Road intersection, there are several trucking and warehouse
developments. This area is also outside the current city limits.
The Land Use Plan shows the annexation area as Industrial (I). The Industrial category
encompasses a wide variety of manufacturing, warehousing research and development,
processing, and industry related office and service activities. Industrial development
typically occurs on an individual tract basis rather than according to an overall
development plan. The Land Use Plan shows Industrial (I) in all directions from the
annexation area. Most of this land is either agricultural in use or wooded. There are
about a half dozen single-family houses along Zeuber Road west of the annexation area.
About half of these houses have been acquired by the Little Rock Port in the last year or
so. To the east along Zeuber Road at the Fourche Dam Pike/Thibault Road intersection
there are several trucking and warehouse developments. This area is also outside the
current city limits.
The applicant has requested the land be zoned I-3, Heavy Industrial District (Z-9601) as
part of their annexation request. The land to the south, east and west of the annexation
area is currently not zoned and outside of the City. The Little Rock Port has also acquired
land beyond this annexation to the east and south with the intention of future industrial
development of the surrounding area. The land to the north is zoned I-3, Heavy Industrial
District. It is partially developed with manufacturing and warehouse uses as part of the
Port Industrial Park. Approximately half the land requested for annexation is not
developed but is mostly wooded. There is an AT&T phone facility in the northwest corner
of the proposed annexation area (developed on approximately two and a third of acre).
On the approximately 80 acres in the southeast corner of the annexation is a five story
Amazon warehouse/distribution facility. The owners of the annexation area land agree
with the City that industrial development of their land is most appropriate future use.

The applicant has provided the City with a letter from the Arkansas GIS Office (AGIO)
confirming the request meets all the requirements of Section 14-40-101 (dated April 19,
2021). The applicant has also provided the Judge’s Order, signed on June 17, 2021. This
confirms that the area requesting annexation is contiguous to the City of Little Rock; will
be used for an urban purpose; the petitioner does own 100 percent of the land; and all
requirements of Arkansas Law have been fulfilled. The Judge’s Order does include all
adjacent and traversing roads and rights-of-way (Zeuber Road).
Approximately 4350 linear feet of Zeuber Road are included in this annexation. Zeuber
Road is a two-lane road with shoulders. There are open ditches on both sides of the
road. The north-south portion of Zueber Road is shown on the Master Street Plan as a
Minor Arterial. While the east-west portion the road is shown as a Collector. Zeuber
Road has been constructed to ‘Industrial Street’ design standards with shoulders and
open ditches. The Master Bike Plans shows a Class III Bike Route along Zeuber Road.
The street has been marked with bike lanes on the shoulders (a class II Bike Route).
A 16-inch water service line exists from the east along the south side of Zeuber Road to
the southeast portion of the annexation area. This provides water service to the Amazon
site which is the southeastern 80 acres of the annexation area. A 30-inch force
wastewater service line is along south side of Zeuber Road. This service line continues
north along the eastern annexation boundary north of Zeuber Road to the current city
limits. As part of the development of any land within the annexation area, the developer
will have to extend these services from the existing service lines to any new development.
The closest fire station (Station 4) is located at 7500 Lindsey Road. From this station via
existing streets is just over 2.25 miles to the annexation area. Station 13, at 1105 East
Roosevelt Road, is the next closest station with runs of approximately 3.8 miles to the
annexation area over current roads. The Fire Department made no comment on the
proposed annexation. The Little Rock Police Department responded they have no
concerns or issues with this annexation. The annexation would increase the linear feet
of road where the Department might have to respond to traffic issues. Most of the
annexation area is wooded with no businesses. However, there is a new
warehouse/distribution structure for Amazon on the southeastern 80 acres. Neither public
safety agency expects significant new demand.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval of the annexation and classification of the land as I-3 Heavy Industrial District.
