BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 20,517 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on December 20, 2011, rezoned the site from 0-3, General Office District to PD -C to allow the development of a Dunkin' Donuts. The new construction consisted of a 1,850 square foot restaurant with drive-thru service. The site was designed to allow one-way traffic, which maximizes the stacking lane for the drive-thru. The approval was limited to Dunkin Donuts and did not allow any alternate users of the site. The signage plan approved for the development allowed the placement of a ground sign and wall signage as typically allowed within commercial districts per the zoning ordinance. The approval allowed a pole sign a maximum of 36 -feet in height and 160 square feet in area at the intersection of Shackleford and Kanis Roads. Building signage was approved on the facades which had direct street frontage. Signage was placed on the facade facing Kanis Road and on the fagade facing Shackleford Road. Ordinance No. 20,710 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on April 2, 2013, allow a revision to the PD -C zoning to allow the placement of a wall sign on the southern facade of the building which was located without street frontage. There were no other modifications proposed to the previously approved site plan. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: The applicant is now proposing to amend the previously approved PD -C, Planned Development Commercial, to allow Starbucks to occupy the former Dunkin Donuts building. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the exterior of the building with the exception of cosmetic changes to rebrand the store as a Starbucks. The existing approved signage locations will be maintained. The request continues to include the allowance of a wall sign on the southern fagade of the building, which is located without public street frontage. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site was developed with a Dunkin' Donuts which has now closed. To the east is Panera Bread and further east is Zaxby's. The property to the south is zoned 0-3, General Office District as is the Bancorp South Bank property. 0-2, Office and Institutional District zoned property is located further to the south, fronting South Shackleford Road, containing hotels, restaurant uses and the Heart Hospital. Across South Shackleford Road is property zoned PCD, 0-3, General Office District, C-2, Shopping Center District and C-3, General Commercial District which has developed with a number of uses including a convenience store, hotels, automobile dealerships and general office uses. Northeast of the site is a large insurance company office complex, Arkansas Farm Bureau, and a daycare facility. 0 FILE NO.: Z -4745-C Cont.) C.

TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING: H Rock Region Metro: The site is not located on or near a dedicated Rock Region Metro Route. Planning Division: This request is located in 1-430 Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Commercial (C) for this property. The Commercial category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services and general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they serve. The applicant has applied for a revised PD -C (Planned Development Commercial) to add Starbucks as an allowed user. Master Street Plan: North of the property is Kanis Road and it is shown as a Minor Arterial Street on the Master Street Plan. West of the property South Shackleford Road and it is shown as a Minor Arterial Street on the Master Street Plan. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area.

These streets 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: (August 29, 2018) The applicant was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the development stating the previous approval did not allow for alternate users and was specifically approved for a Dunkin' Donuts. Staff questioned if the request continued to include the previously approved signage plan and the allowance for the order board to not be screened. The applicant stated there were no changes proposed from the previous approval. Staff questioned the days and hours of operation for the business. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated if any changes were proposed to the site traffic engineering should be contacted to ensure the traffic control devices were not damaged. Staff stated any broken curb, gutter or sidewalk located in the public right of way was to be repaired prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. 7 FILE NO.: Z -4745-C (Cont. ANALYSIS The applicant provided written responses to comments raised at the August 29, 2018, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant is requesting the previously approved signage plan remain for the current request. The applicant is also requesting the order menu board not be screened per typical ordinance requirements. The request is to amend the previously approved PD -C, Planned Development Commercial, to allow Starbucks to occupy the former Dunkin' Donuts building. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the exterior of the building with the exception of cosmetic changes to rebrand the store as a Starbucks. The existing approved ground and building signage will be maintained. As previously approved the applicant is requesting to maintain the allowance of a wall sign on the southern facade of the building, which is located without public street frontage. The sign is proposed with a maximum sign area often (10) percent of the southern wall fagade. Building signage will be placed along the north facade, which has frontage on Kanis Road and the western fagade, which has frontage on South Shackleford Road. Each of the wall signs will not exceed ten (10) percent of the wall fagade area. A ground sign is proposed near the Kanis/South Shackleford Road intersection. The sign will not exceed 36 -feet in height and 160 square feet of sign area. As noted there are no other changes proposed for the site other than cosmetic changes to allow the rebranding of the site. The hours of operation for the Starbucks are Monday through Thursday from 5:30 am to 9:00 pm, Friday from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm, Saturday from 5:00 am to 10:30 pm and Sunday from 5:00 am to 9:30 pm. The hours proposed are similar to the previous tenant's hours of operation. The applicant has noted the dumpster service hours will be limited to 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant has provided a traffic analysis for the proposed user which indicates there will not be a significant impact on traffic due to the change in user. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the site plan.
