ANALYSIS AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Both requests represent the second attempts to gain
nonresidential zoning for these properties. The first case
(Z -3294-A) is a direct repeat of the earlier request, and
the second case (Z-3466) is a completely new application,
with a new request (11C-2" and "0-3" instead of "PCD") by new
applicants ( Safeway instead of McKay and Company) .
The original applications were filed in December 1978, and
both properties have been a continuing source of controversy
since that time. At first, the 1990 Comprehensive
Development Plan was restated, and both applications were
denied. Several attempts have been made to arrive at a
proper plan for the Highway #10 Corridor. The staff made an
early attempt, which was rejected by the Board of Directors
during the action described earlier. Team Four, Inc. made a
proposal, based upon early information pulled from the
Suburban Development Plan, and this too was partially
rejected by the Board. Several meetings, brought about by
the attempt to revive the request of the first Z-3294
application, resulted in several options being discussed
(copies of which are attached). The Board selected
Alternative #3 in a straw vote.
All of the discussion came about primarily because of two
factors: (1) The stated concerns of planners, citizens and
elected officials about the prospect of having Highway #10
strip commercially developed for its entire length; and
(2) The adamant demand of local residents that no commercial
development be allowed in this vicinity. The latter factor
was given a tremendous boost by the City's victory in the
Charles Taylor Case in the Arkansas Supreme Court.
Since the early outcry regarding commercial development in
the area, there appears to be some softening towards
acceptance of some commercial development, most clearly
evident by the fact that David Henry, an opponent of the
McKay proposal in 1978 and 1979, is now representing both
the owner of that property and the applicant in the most
recent commercial proposal for its development. It would be
mistaken to say that all former opponents now look favorably
upon either of these cases. The staff anticipates
considerable opposition to be voiced, especially in
connection with Case Z-3466.
Staff concern at this time goes back to the original fear
that Highway #10 might become another Asher Avenue,
University Avenue or Rodney Parham Road. There is a
considerable amount of commercial development along this
route, all of which was developed prior to the time that the
City could exercise any significant land use control.
April 29, 1980
Item No. 15 - Continued
The staff believes that some commercial development is
appropriate along Highway #10, as indicated on the Suburban
development Plan. One site could be covered by either of
these two applications, and another is located west of
Pankey, where the West Belt is proposed to connect. The key
element is that a firm line must be clearly drawn, once
policy has been firmly established.
Based upon the information available through Team Four,
Inc., the Master Street Plan, and accepted planning
practice, the staff feels that the better site for major
commercial commitment is the southwest corner of Highway #10
and Rodney Parham Road as proposed by Case Z-3466. The
reasoning is as follows:
1. The proposal limits the development to one major
store, a Safeway Super Store, and two office uses
yet to be determined.
2. The proposed development commits to channel
traffic to the intersection of Highway #10 and
Rodney Parham Road, where adequate traffic
controls can be established through turn lanes,
channelization and signalization.
3. The proposal is of a scale which should have
minimal adverse impacts on surrounding
development. This would be accomplished through
extensive buffering.
4. The proposed zoning district (C-2) does permit
site plan review and will allow control of those
items within the public interest. Admittedly,
aesthetics cannot be monitored beyond buffering
requirements and the Sign Ordinance.
5. Further, the proposed office development along the
Highway #10 frontage and zoning establishes the
scale of commercial development and sets a
precedent for the remainder of the development
within this area.
The site proposed under Case Z -3294A appears less desirable
for a major commercial commitment, but the staff is inclined
to support acceptance of the established convenience
commercial development at that location as envisioned in the
plan (i.e., neighborhood convenience retail east of proposed
relocation of Fairway Drive). Essentially, this recognition
reduces to the following:
April 29, 1980
Item No. 15 -.-Continued
1. The staff would recommend approval of "C-1"
Neighborhood Commercial zoning on the property
which is shown to the east of the proposed new
aliqnment of Fairview Road. The remaining
property proposed for "C-3" General Commercial,
and "0-3" General Office, is recommended for
"MF -18" Multifamily.
2. There appears to be a demonstrated need for the
convenience neighborhood stores already located at
this site. However, the staff is concerned that a
larger scale commitment would generate traffic
problems which could not be easily overcome,
primarily because of the unfortunate alignment of
Fairview Road and Southridge Road at their
intersection with Highway #10.
In summary, the staff recommendation with regard to these
two issues becomes Altenative #1, as proposed by Team Four.
This obviously is contrary to the preference stated earlier
by the Board of Directors for Alternative #3. Primarily
because of traffic and locational considerations, the staff
believes that Alternative #1 is the preferred plan, and the
staff hereby recommends the adoption of that alternative.
It is imperative that whatever course of action is finally
adopted, that the Suburban Development Plan be drawn to
reflect the outcome of those actions. Alternative #3
remains an acceptable option, however, with the proviso that
if the Fairview Road commercial location is selected, the
other site should be precluded from that use. In either
case, the staff will oppose commercial use of the Charles
Taylor property and along the intervening area between the
two cases now under consideration.
April 29, 1980
Z -3294-A
COMMISSION ACTION:
The Chairman opened the public hearing, and the applicant,
represented by Tom Wilkes, owner and general partner in
Pleasant Ridge Development Company, presented the Commission
with a letter written to Mayor Hubbell requesting a
reconsideration of this zoning by the Board of Directors and
a petition in support of the application containing 150
signatures. Mr. Wilkes then made a lengthy statement, which
he provided to the Planning Commission in writing as well as
verbally. There was one opponent present, Robert Gunther,
who spoke primarily about traffic problems associated with
the attempt to enter onto Highway #10. A lengthy discussion
ensued, and finally the public hearing was declared to be
closed.
Z-3466
COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present and submitted a petition
containing approximately 30 signatures in support of the
application and the plan for the Safeway Store development.
He showed graphics indicating a landscaping plan, site plan
and a rendering of the store that is proposed to be
constructed. During the course of discus to amend the request
ndr it was
determined that it would be aPP P
for "0-3" development on the front two parcels of the
property to 110-1." The applicant also discussed with the
Planning Commission a letter that he had written to the
Planning Commission, through the Planning staff, wherein a
commitment was made to build the street improvements
indicated on the site plan, to site the building in
accordance with the site plan, to landscape in accordance
with the plan and to subdivide the property as required by
City ordinance. A member of the Pleasant Forest Property
Owners Association was present, supporting the application
on behalf of the Owners Association. The only difference
was that they were recommending, in accordance with the
approval, that a stop light be erected at the entrance of
Pleasant Forest Drive to Woodland Heights Road and another
stop light be erected at the intersection of Highway 410 and
Rodney Parham Road, and that a turning lane on Rodney Parham
Road be constructed so that entrance in and out of the
shopping area would be less conflicting with normal traffic
flow.
Nine objectors were present. John Tisdale, representing
Fred Darragh and Mrs. Cluis, was present and made three
statements in objection to the application. First, he
stated that the Commission had withheld zoninq in
anticipation of the plan for Highway #10, and suggested
that further deferral was in order. Secondly, regarding
strip zoning, he stated that in his view approval of this
request would tend to enhance the possibility of strip
zoning along Highway #10. Thirdly, regarding traffic, he
stated his belief that increased truck traffic would occur
on Rodney Parham because of the introduction of this
commercial venture.
Dick Patterson, representing Christ the King Church, was
present and spoke in opposition to the zoning. Paul
Callahan, Pleasant Valley Property Owners Association, was
present and, admitting that they had not formally seen the
plan as yet, cited their opposition to the proposal. John
Clayton, Longlea Property Owners Association, stated that he
was representing only himself, and that he objected to the
zoning. Carol Dunkle was present, citing that the support
of the Pleasant Forest Property Owners Association was not
unanimous, and expressed her support for the proposal in
Z -3294-A. Charles Easley, a resident of Woodland Heights
Road, cited his objection, based primarily upon traffic
problems.
Rogers Faust, Vice President of
Owners Association, stated that
was supporting the application,
support by speaking for himself
lengthy discussion followed, and
was declared to have closed.
General Discussion:
the Pleasant Forest Property
while the Owners Association
he wished to add further
in favor of the proposal. A
finally the public hearing
After the two public hearings on the request of Z -3294-A and
Z-3466, the Commission, staff, and the applicants and
residents of the area engaged in a lengthy discussion of all
of the various components of the two requests, their
relationship to each other, the impact on the sewer issue,
the impact on the Suburban Development Plan, the perception
that the Board of Directors had spoken in its straw vote on
the Alternative #3 relative to the development of Highway
#10, and a variety of other issues. Finally, it was
determined that it was an appropriate time to vote on both
proposals that deferral of either or both of the
applications was not possible and that the Board did expect
a decision on Z -3294-A. The Commission moved to approve the
application as filed. The motion was passed: 7 ayes, 1 no
and 3 absent.
On Z-3466, a motion was made to approve the application as
amended. The motion failed on a vote of 5 ayes, 3 noes and
3 absent. Because of the Board's indiction it wished to
deal with these cases in May, the Commission decided to
forward both applications merely reflecting the vote for the
Board's consideration.

January 30, 1979
41Ite,n No. 9
1. NEED AND/OR DEMAND
The requested zoning is required prior_ to initiation
of a planned unit development as proposed.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH MUNICIPAL PLANS
The only specific plan dealing with this location
is the Interim Highway #10 Corridor Study prepared
by the Staff in 1978 and now under consideration by
the Planning Commission. The land use anticipated
by that study for this property is shown as a
combination of office and apartments/condominiums.
This proposal is not fully compatible for that plan.
3. EFFECT ON ENVIRONS
As with most major developments, this project
promises significant environmental change, chiefly
in connection with impervious surface ratios.
4. NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION
�b' No specific neighborhood opposition has been received,
but Staff has been told that some can be expected.
5. PUBLIC SERVICES/EFFECT ON
No adverse comments have been received.
6. UTILITIES/EFFECT ON
Water service would come from Woodland Heights Road,
and on-site fire hydrants would be required.
No sewer mains are presently available.
7. EFFECT ON PUBLIC FINANCES
No adverse effect is anticipated.
8. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/REASONABLENESS
The reasonableness factor relates primarily to a
policy issue, to wit: does the Planning Commission
think it to be worthwhile to trade higher intensity
development for site plan review? The requested
zoning is appropriate for the proposed development.

9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY
The applicant, in his supporting statement, says
"through the use of wood and masonry exteriors,
the residential atmosphere will be maintained".
10. TRAFFIC AND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY CONSIDERATIONS
Boundary street improvements will be accomplished
under the subdivision process. Access to the site
will be taken from Highway #10 and Rodney Parham,
one each. No access is shown from Woodland Heights
Road. A right-of-way form has been fiLed.
ANALYSIS:
All of the statements presented at the Deceinf�er meeting
regarding the application further west on Highway 10 apply,
except that this proposal lies within one of the areas
designated for nonresidential development in the staff's
Highway 10 corridor study. However, the specific proposal
contained in this application represents a heavier mix of
commercial development than envisioned by the staff.
In view of the fact that the Planning Commission has decided
to review the staff proposal for Highway 10 at its next work
session, staff feels uneasy about recommending approval or
denial on this application.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that this item be deferred to February 27,
1979.
COMMISSION ACTION
Philip Kaplan, representing the applicant, stated the
position that the proposed planned unit development offers
the kinds of control which prevent strip commercial
development along Highway 10, in that the proposal is
compatible with the staff's Highway 10 Corridor Study. He
further stated his client's desire to have this issue decided
at the January meeting, and separate from any other case.
r
David Henry, a neighboring property owner representing
himself and several other neighbors, presented a petition
opposing the case, containing 111 signatures. He stated the
points outlined in the petition:
1. The proposal's incompatibility with existing
`� development.
January 30, 1979
Item No. 9 Continued
2. Location of a service drive within 47.5 feet
of an adjoining single-family residential
street.
3. A lack of neer] for specialty shoppi.n�J
facilities in this area.
4. The site plan's depiction of trees and
foliage not presently in existence and
which would take years to grow.
5. Their belief that another property on
the southeast corner of the same
intersection is more appropriate and
compatible for the proposed use.
6. Their further belief that the Planning
Commission should await the decision
from the Supreme Court regarding the
property mentioned in Item 5 above.
7. Their belief that this proposal will
inevitably lead to strip commercial
development along Highway 10.
hw 8. Numerous traffic problems which will
be created, in their opinion, by this
proposed development.
9. The long-term expectation that blighting
will occur as a result of this proposal.
10. That the PUD process does nothing to
minimize the impact of high density
development in a single-family area.
Charles Maynard, representing Christ the King Church, stated
the position that "E-1" Quiet Business is more appropriate
for the area and that a domino effect is likely to occur
should this proposal be approved. He further stated that
traffic problems would be worsened in the area and that the
proposal lacked sufficient specificity with regard to the
proposed uses on the property. in addition he stated that
the proposal would have a negative limpact on the church's
proposed expansion, and that the proposal would have
detrimental environmental consequences. He stated that the
church opposed the rezoning.
Philip Kaplan, rebutting those in opposition, stated that the
Supreme Court decision might be delayed for a month. He
W cited the expenses and effort which had been invested in the
plans for the proposal, and restated his client's desire for
January 30, 1979
t Item No. 9 Continued
Planning Commission action in January.
The Commission moved to defer the case to February, and the
motion failed on a vote of 3 ayes, 6 noes, 1 absent and 1
abstention. George Wittenberg abstained.
The Commission then moved to approve the petition as filed.
The motion passed: 7 ayes, 2 noes, 1 absent, 1 abstention --

ANALYSIS AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Both requests represent the second attempts to gain
nonresidential zoning for these properties. The first case
(Z -3294-A) is a direct repeat of the earlier request, and
the second case (Z-3466) is a completely new application,
with a new request (11C-2" and "0-3" instead of "PCD") by new
applicants (Safeway instead of McKay and Company).
The original applications were filed in December 1978, and
both properties have been a continuing source of controversy
since that time. At first, the 1990 Comprehensive
Development Plan was restated, and both applications were
denied. Several attempts have been made to arrive at a
proper plan for the Highway #10 Corridor. The staff made an
early attempt, which was rejected by the Board of Directors
during the action described earlier. Team Four, Inc. made a
proposal, based upon early information pulled from the
Suburban Development Plan, and this too was partially
rejected by the Board. Several meetings, brought about by
the attempt to revive the request of the first Z-3294
application, resulted in several options being discussed
( copies of which are attached) . The Board selected
Alternative #3 in a straw vote.
All of the discussion came about primarily because of two
44W factors: (1) The stated concerns of planners, citizens and
elected officials about the prospect of having Highway #10
strip commercially developed for its entire length; and
(2) The adamant demand of local residents that no commercial
development be allowed in this vicinity. The latter factor
was given a tremendous boost by the City's victory in the
Charles Taylor Case in the Arkansas Supreme Court.
Since the early outcry regarding commercial development in
the area, there appears to be some softening towards
acceptance of some commercial development, most clearly
evident by the fact that David Henry, an opponent of the
McKay proposal in 1978 and 1979, is now representing both
the owner of that property and the applicant in the most
recent commercial proposal for its development. It would be
mistaken to say that all former_ opponents now look favorably
upon either of these cases. The staff anticipates
considerable opposition to be voiced, especially in
connection with Case Z-3466.
Staff concern at this time goes back to the original fear
that Highway #10 might become another Asher Avenue,
University Avenue or Rodney Parham Road. There is a
considerable amount of commercial development along this
route, all of which was developed prior to the time that the
City could exercise any significant land use control.

commercial commitment is the southwest corner of Highway #10
and Rodney Parham Road as proposed by Case 7,--3456. The
reasoning is as follows:
1. The proposal limits the development to one major
store, a Safeway Super Store, and two office uses
yet to be determined.
2. The proposed development commits to channel
traffic to the intersection of Highway #10 and
Rodnev Parham Road, where adequate traffic

1. The staff_ would recommend approval of 11C-1"
Neighborhood Commercial zoning on the property
which is shown to the east of the proposed new
alignment of Fairview Road. The remaining
property proposed for "C-3" General Commercial,
and "0-3" General Office, is recommended for
