PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 15, 1998) Staff informed the Commission that the applicant had submitted a letter requesting that the item be deferred to the December 3, 1998 agenda. Staff supported the deferral request. The Chairman placed the item before the Commission for inclusion within the Consent Agenda for deferral to the December 3, 1998 agenda. A motion to that effect was made. The motion passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays and 3 absent. A. PROPOSAL /RE LIEST : The applicant proposes to rezone the property at 12,320 Chicot Road from R -2/I-2 to PID. The applicant proposes to rezone the property in order to legitimize the existing industrial use of the property. The 30 foot by 60 foot metal storage building (building #6 on the site plan) was recently added to the property which initiated an enforcement action for expansion of a non -conforming use. There are five existing metal buildings on the site which are used for office and warehouse space (buildings #1-4 and 6 as noted on the site plan). J. Graves Insulation Co. is housed in buildings #1-3 and 6 and a carpet cleaning business is located in building #4. Hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Building #5 is an old single-family residence located near the northeast corner of the property. It is still used as a residence, primarily for security purposes. The buildings are all one-story and range in height from 12 feet to 15 feet. The only physical improvement the applicant proposes to make to the property is the addition of a paved service drive. The proposed drive extends from Chicot Road between buildings 1 and 5 running south of buildings 3 and 4 and back out to Chicot Road. The applicant has noted that the new drive will improve truck access to the property. The applicant has also noted that the southern portion of the J. Graves property will be sold to a single-family residential owner along Bunch Road. Therefore, the southern boundary of the PID will not extend to Bunch Road. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: As noted previously, there are six existing buildings on the site with no new buildings proposed. The south portion of this property (from the existing buildings south to Bunch Road) is undeveloped and wooded. 2 FILE NO.: Z -3396-A (Cont.) The immediate area contains several single-family residences on larger lots. There is also a- large amount of undeveloped property in the general area. C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: The Deer Meadow and Legion Hut Neighborhood Associations, including Norman Floyd, were notified of the public hearing. The Legion Hut Neighborhood Association submitted a letter supporting the proposed PID. D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS: PUBLIC WORKS CONDITIONS: 1.Shown property has 2 boundary streets. A.Chicot Road is a principal arterial and a dedication of 55' of right-of-way required from centerline, and MSP street improvements. B. Bunch Road is a local street and will require a 30' commercial right-of-way dedication and street improvements per MSP standards. 2. Driveways shall be 25' from property line and spaced at 300' O.C. minimum. 3. Engineering submittals required for all improvements in right-of-way. E. UTILITIES AND FIRE DEPARTMENT/COUNTY PLANNING: Wastewater: Existing sewer main on site. No construction over existing main. Contact Little Rock Wastewater Utility for details. AP&L: No Comment received. Arkla: No Comment received. Water: Contact the Water Works if additional and/or larger meter(s) are required.

ISSUES/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: Plannina Division: This request is in the Geyer Springs West Planning District and was the subject of a Land Use Plan Amendment heard by the Planning Commission on May 14, 1998. At that meeting, the Planning Commission decided, with neighborhood support, not to change the Land Use Plan and encouraged the applicant to file a PZD for the expansion. At the meeting, concerns about development extending south to Bunch Road were expressed. There was a clear desire not to extend non- residential use to Bunch Road. This area was included in the Chicot Road I-30 South neighborhood Action Plan. Norm Floyd, representing the steering committee from the neighborhood plan was present at the Planning Commission meeting. Landscape Issues: Areas set aside for landscaping and buffers meet with ordinance requirements when averaged out. However, most of the proposed buffer width along the northern perimeter drops 9 1/2 feet below the full width requirement of 16 1/2 feet. The face side of the proposed wooden fence must be directed outward. G. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan on November 11, 1998 which addresses concerns raised by staff and the Subdivision Committee. The City's Zoning Ordinance would typically require 24 parking spaces for the existing use of this property. There is existing asphalt area on the site to provide parking for over 24 vehicles. The applicant is requesting a deferral of street improvements to Bunch Road. Public Works has indicated support of the deferral request for 5 years or until the property is subdivided. Otherwise, there should be no outstanding issues associated with the site plan. H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the PID with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the requirements noted in paragraphs D, E and F of this report. 4 FILE NO.: Z -3396-A 2.

The Public Works requirements were briefly discussed. A deferral of street improvements to Bunch Road was also discussed. Mr. Blaylock stated that the southern portion of the property would be sold to a single-family owner on Bunch Road in the future. After a brief discussion, the Committee forwarded the issue to the full Commission for resolution.

FILE NO.: Z -3396-B BACKGROUND: This property was developed and occupied by non-residential uses prior to the area being annexed into the City. The property was zoned R-2 at the time of annexation and the uses and buildings were classified as non -conforming. On December 3, 1998, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a PID zoning request to recognize the existing businesses occupying the property; an insulation company and a carpet cleaning business. On January 5, 1998, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 17,905 establishing Graves Short -form PID. No changes were proposed to the site or the buildings. A. PROPOSAVREQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: The current owner/applicant is requesting a revision to the PID zoning to allow for the addition of several additional uses to be permitted to occupy the existing buildings. No changes are proposed to the buildings or site other than for what minor renovations might be necessary to accommodate one of the new uses. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site contains 4, one-story metal buildings. Each of the buildings has garage doors/warehouse loading access. The site contains an asphalt paved parking lot. The applicant owns the PID zoned lot adjacent to the north which contains a single family residential structure and a storage building. Single family homes on larger tracts and tracts of vacant residential property are located to the south and west. The large undeveloped tract across Chicot Road to the east is owned by Centro Christiano Hispano who envisions future development of the site for a church campus. C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and the Deer Meadow, Oxford Valley and SWLRUP Neighborhood Associations.

Planning Division: This request is located in Geyer Springs West Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Office (0) for this property. The Office category represents services provided directly to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, medical) as well as general offices which support more basic economic activities. The applicant has applied for revised PID (Planned Industrial District) to allow for additional retail uses in the existing buildings. Master Street Pian: East of the property is Chicot Road and it is shown as Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. The primary function of a Principal Arterial Street is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generator or activity centers within an urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Chicot Road since it is a Principal Arterial. This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (January 2, 2019) The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted some additional information was needed. The applicant was asked to provide the number of parking spaces on the site, a signage plan and the days and hours of operation for the proposed uses. Staff asked that the dumpster location and required screening be indicated on the plan. Staff asked if any new site lighting would be added and if any of the proposed businesses would have alcohol sales. Public Works comments were noted and explained. Other reviewing agencies and departments comments were presented. The applicant was advised to submit responses to staff issues by January 9, 2019. The committee forwarded the item to the full commission. C! January 31, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 4 Cont. I. ANALYSIS FILE NO.: Z -3396-B The applicant submitted responses to questions raised at subdivision committee. The property contains four buildings. The larger building (12,300) is divided into 4 spaces/lease areas. The current PID allows for the buildings to be used only for an insulation company and a carpet cleaning business. The applicant desires to retain those uses while adding a short list of additional uses as options to occupy the site. The applicant is requesting to add general and professional office, convenience -type food store without gas pumps (no alcohol sales); barber or beauty shop, tire sales and installation, auto repair shop, retail sales, warehouse and auto paint and body shop. Signage is proposed to consist of a single, multi -tenant ground mounted sign (40 square feet in area and 12 feet in height) and wall signage at the front entrance to each tenant's lease space. The wall signage will not have direct street frontage for several of the spaces as they front into the site not to the street. Days and hours of operation are proposed not to exceed 7:00 a.m. — 7:00 p. m., Monday — Saturday. No new site lighting is proposed. There are currently two night -watcher type lights on the site. The dumpster has been indicated between the two buildings at the southwest portion of the site. The dumpster is to be screened to comply with Code standards. Servicing of the dumpster should be limited to 7:00 a. m. — 6:00 p. m., Monday — Saturday. There are 35 paved parking spaces on the site which should be sufficient for the proposed uses. The applicant has stated that there will be no alcohol sales. The existing fence at the front of the property is being replaced with a new wrought -iron fence. Staff is supportive of most of the items proposed by the applicant. Staff does not support allowing an auto paint and body shop. It is staff's experience that such uses result in damaged vehicles being parked on the site for extended periods of time. There is not sufficient space on the site to accommodate an area for parking/storage of such vehicles. Staff is supportive of the other uses as they are all uses which can be conducted within the enclosed buildings. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested revised PID subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. 2. No auto paint and body shop is allowed 3. The dumpster is to be screened to comply with Code standards and dumpster service hours are to be limited to 7:00 a. m. — 6:00 p. m. 4. All uses are to be conducted entirely within the enclosed buildings. 10 January 31, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 4 Cont.
