Ordinance No. 19,507 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on March 21, 2006,
rezoned the site from C-3, General Commercial District to PCD. The request was to
allow the future development of the site with a building not to exceed 10,000 square feet
and 74 parking spaces. The approval allowed the end user to be a restaurant use. If
the use was a restaurant use the maximum building square footage would be
7,300 square feet. This development did not occur. The PCD zoning has expired.
