Sincerely, Donna James, AICP Subdivision Administrator OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMUNICATION JANUARY 2, 2007 AGENDA Subject Herron -Horton Short -form Revocation, located on the Northeast corner of East 13"' and Spring Streets. (Z -4052-C) Action Required I Submitted By Ordinance Resolution Approval Information Report Bruce Moore SYNOPSIS The applicant requests that the existing PCD zoning be revoked and the property be rezoned to UU, Urban Use District. FISCAL IMPACT None. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested revocation. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested revocation, as recommended by staff, by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. CITIZEN The Planning Commission reviewed the requested PARTICIPATION I revocation at their December 7, 2006, Public Hearing. Notices were mailed to the property owners located within 200 -feet of the site as required per the zoning ordinance. The Downtown Neighborhood Association was also notified of the public hearing. As of this writing staff has received a number of phone calls in support of the request. BACKGROUND The site was originally considered by the Executive Committee of the Mansion Area Advisory Committee (CZD) and deferred to the City, since the Committee was afraid of the long-term implications of the Central Little Rock Zoning Ordinance. The site was considered by the Little Rock Planning Commission for rezoning from "HR" High Density Residential to "GB" and the request was denied at the July 26, 1983 Planning Commission Public Hearing. BACKGROUND CONTINUED The applicant later submitted a request for a PCD for the site. The request was approved by the Commission at the September 13, 1983 Public Hearing and by the Board of Directors on December 6, 1983 (Ordinance No. 14,555). This ordinance was modified on May 21, 1996 by an ordinance reaffirming previously approved single use planned unit developments (Ordinance No. 17,190). The approved request allows for the site to develop as Tropical Plant Galleries. The site was to be utilized by the applicant for storage of live plant materials. The applicant proposed the placement of the distribution center for servicing the accounts in Arkansas and the surrounding states. The development plan included the rebuilding of a portion of a fire -damaged, frame and brick building for office space, the installation of a large metal door on the Spring Street side, which would enable trucks to pull completely inside the building for loading and unloading and the provision for 14 parking spaces shielded by a 14 - foot brick wall. Ordinance No. 18,899 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on July 15, 2003, revised the previously approved PCD to allow multiple tenants to occupy the space at 315 West 12ffi Street. On the site was a 10,066 square foot building occupied by Tropical Plant Galleries. The applicant proposed to allow C/M Restoration to operate from the location as well. C/M restores older homes in the Quapaw and Hillcrest neighborhoods and the facility was to be used as a workshop for restoration projects associated with their business. All operations and storage of materials were proposed to take place indoors. Also approved was the placement of trailers in the rear of the building located on a gravel surface. The applicant did not propose the placement of a hard surface parking area due to the limited moving of the trailers and the applicant did not desire to damage the root system of the several significant trees located on the site. Lot 6, Block 195, Original City of Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas is currently a vacant lot located within a previously approved Planned Commercial Development. The developers propose a revocation of Lot 6 from the PCD allowing the property to be rezoned to the UU — the Urban Use District zoning classification. Lot 6 is bounded by Spring Street on the west, a vacant lot on the adjacent north, an alley on the east and West 13'h Street on the south. 2 The applicant has not developed the site and is requesting the current PZD zoning be revoked and W zoning be restored. Per Section 36-454(d) the Owner may for cause request repeal of the ordinance establishing the development. 3 d ORDINANCE NO.
