Ordinance No. 20,865 was adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on April 15, 2014
and established the loth and McMath — Short -form PCD. The rezoning from "UU Urban
Use District to PCD was approved by the Planning Commission on January 9, 2014 and
the development was approved by the Historic District Commission on March 10, 2014.
The approved PCD allowed a mixed use development containing office, commercial and
residential uses.
The approved development included three (3) new buildings and an addition to an existing
structure within the south half of the property. The buildings were allowed maximum
heights of three (3) stories. UU permitted uses were allowed for the proposed
development. The project was proposed to be developed in phases. To date, one (1)
three-story building was constructed within the north half of the property. The original
structure within the south half of the property still remains.

ITEM NO.: 17 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-3218-A
The applicant does not wish to pursue the previously approved PCD development, and
is requesting that the PCD zoning be revoked and the property be restored to its original
UU zoning.
The existing buildings on the site will contain uses as permitted in the UU zoning district.
Any future development of the site must comply with the UU standards and be approved
by the Historic District Commission.
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site and all neighborhood associations
registered with the City of Little Rock were notified of the public hearing.
Staff is supportive of the requested PCD revocation. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property will be restored to its original UU zoning. The properties
located north, south and east of the site are currently zoned UU and contain a mixture of
uses along the west side of Interstate 30. MacArthur Park is located across McMath
Avenue to the west. Staff believes the proposed PCD revocation and restoration of the
property to its original UU zoning will have no adverse impact on the surrounding
properties or the general area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the PCD revocation request.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (FEBRUARY 10, 2022)
