NEW STREET: 0 LF CURRENT ZONING: PCD ALLOWED USES: C-2, Shopping Center District, 0-2, Office and Institutional and the Conditional Uses allowed in the 0-2, Office and Institutional Zoning District PROPOSED ZONING: Revised PCD PROPOSED USE: Add an additional lot to the overall site plan and site plan review and approval of a carwash on one of the proposed out parcels. VARIANCESMAIVERS REQUESTED: None requested. BACKGROUND: The Little Rock Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 19,237 on November 23, 2004, approving a Conceptual PCD known as Shackleford Crossing Long -form PCD, which was located at the southwest corner of South Shackleford Road and Interstate 430. The conceptual plan included the north 62 acres being developed with C-2, Shopping Center District permitted uses, the south 20 acres being 0-2, Office and Institutional District permitted uses and the middle 15 acres being a transition area where 0-2, Office and Institutional District and C-2, Shopping Center District permitted FILE NO.: Z -4923-J (Cont.) uses would be allowed. The plan also showed four (4) out parcels along the Shackleford Road frontage, with three (3) main entry drives from Shackleford Road. The total project would consist of 1,000,000 square feet of gross building area. Ordinance No. 19,399 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on September 20, 2005, established revisions to the previously approved PCD. The approval defined the site plan for Phase I, the commercial portion of the project and one (1) of the office lots. With the request, a preliminary plat for the subdivision of the site with sixteen (16) lots and out -parcels was also approved. The approved site plan included an area previously excluded containing the Comcast office tract on Shackleford Road and incorporated the area into the overall project plan. All the conditions that were a part of the approved Conceptual PCD were incorporated into the submittal with one (1) revision. The one (1) change requested from the prior conditions was to increase the allowable restaurant square footage and place a minimum parking ratio requirement for restaurants on the site as imposed by the developer. Ordinance No. 19,699 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 20, 2007, revised the PCD to clarify the signage plan, allow dock doors to be oriented to Shackleford Road and add food store as an allowable use for the site. On May 8, 2008, the Little Rock Planning Commission recommended approval of a request to allow a revision to the previously approved PCD for a 2.2 -acre parcel located near the southeastern portion of the site immediately south of the proposed Wal-Mart retail store. The approval allowed for development of a four (4) story 92 room hotel with paved drives and parking. The hotel was not proposed with any amenities such as conference rooms, a restaurant or a bar. The approval allowed building signage on three facades of the building and a ground sign with a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet and a maximum sign area of one hundred sixty (160) square feet. The Board of Directors approved the request on June 3, 2008, by the adoption of Ordinance No. 19,980. On July 15, 2008, the Little Rock Board of Directors approved a revision to the PCD by the adoption of Ordinance No. 19,994 to clarify and amend some of the language in the conditions. The modifications include the addition of Conditional Uses in the 0-2, Office and Institutional Zoning District to the allowable uses for the office portion of the development and to increase the amount of restaurant square footage approved for the development. The revision allowed 55,000 square feet of restaurant space on the out parcels and a maximum of 80,000 square feet within the overall development. The approval also allowed a hotel on Lot 11 which is located near the southwest corner of the site. The hotel was indicated with a maximum of four (4) stories and 87 rooms. The hotel would not have a restaurant or bar associated with it but a 1,200 square foot meeting room was proposed. The approval allowed building signage on three facades of the building and a ground sign with a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet and a maximum sign area of one hundred sixty (160) square feet. 2 FILE NO.: Z -4923-J On January 8, 2009, the Little Rock Planning Commission denied a request by Cracker Barrel to allow the placement of temporary storage modules within the rear parking area of the restaurant to serve as temporary inventory storage for seasonal sales. The denial was not appealed to the Board of Directors for reconsideration. On February 25, 2010, the Little Rock Planning Commission was to hear a request to allow the development of Lot 713 (an out -parcel located on South Shackleford Road) with a four (4) story hotel containing 84 rooms. The applicant withdrew the item prior to the Commission hearing the request. Ordinance No. 20,282 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on June 15, 2010, allowed a revision to the PCD to allow the construction of a four (4) story hotel containing 72 guest rooms on a 1.8 acre lot within Shackleford Crossing Subdivision. The development was proposed containing 80 parking spaces. The hotel was proposed as a LaQuinta Inn and Suites. The hotel was proposed with a meeting facility and indoor pool area but did not include a full service restaurant or bar. 0 PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: The developers are proposing to amend the previously approved PCD by splitting Lot 4B into Lots 4B -R2 (+/- 0.81 acres) and 4D (+/- 1.0 acres). In addition the request includes the addition of a carwash as an allowable use for the development and the approval of a site plan for Lot 4B -R2 to allow the lot to develop with an express tunnel carwash. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The shopping center has developed and Wal-Mart was recently completed and opened. Comcast is located within the development and three hotels have been constructed. Along Shackleford Road there are two restaurants located on out -parcels and a third is under construction. Other uses in the area include Camp Aldersgate, a vacant property recently approved as a PCD for a mixed use development containing residential, office and retail, residential and a number of small commercial uses located to the south along South Shackleford Road.

The Land Use Plan shows Mixed Office Commercial for this property. Mixed Office Commercial requires developments to have office use but may also have commercial use as part of a Planned Zoning District review. The applicant has applied for a revision to an existing Planned Commercial District to create an additional lot and review a carwash on this new lot. The overall development has both office and commercial uses within it. Master Street Plan: This application has frontage on Interstate 430 and along Shackleford Road. Shackleford Road is a Principal Arterial. The primary function of a Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within urbanized areas. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Shackleford 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. Landscape: 1. The site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance requirements. 2. The development was reviewed as an overall development plan containing multiple lots. The approval required each of the individual lots to contain an automatic irrigation system to water landscape areas at the time of development. 3. Prior to the issuance of a building permit a landscape plan must be submitted to the City. The development is being reviewed as an overall development 5 FILE NO.: Z -4923-J (Cont. plan therefore each of the lots will require a landscape plan stamped with the seal of a registered landscape architect at the time of building permit. 4. The landscape ordinance requires a nine (9) foot wide perimeter landscape strip around the sites entirety. A variance from the City Beautiful Commission must be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit. 5. Interior landscape islands are required to be provided.

The interior islands must be evenly distributed throughout the site. 6. Building landscaping will be required with the proposed development. 7. Dumpster, loading docks, heating and air conditioning units, external storage of materials, communications equipment and similar outside activities and appurtenances must be screened from abutting properties and streets. & SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (February 17, 2011) The applicant was not present. Staff presented the item stating the request was to amend the previously approved PCD to add an additional lot and add a carwash as an allowable use for the development. Staff stated they would work with the applicant to resolve any outstanding technical issues associated with the request. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan and revised cover letter addressing concerns raised by staff at the February 17, 2011, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant is proposing a revision to the approved PCD for Shackleford Crossing to add an additional out -parcel and to add a carwash as an allowed use for the development. The developer of the carwash has indicated there are two point sale terminals located on the south side of the property. The sale terminals are only audible during operating hours and are used to instruct the customers through the menu selections. There is no live voice from either the carwash attendants or the customers. The volume control is fully adjustable from 50-80 decibels. The customer interacts by touching the screen as opposed to speaking commands. The audible responses from the terminal allow the customer to hear the selection made and instruct the customer as to the next action. The sound is set at normal conversation levels. A screening wall is located on the site plan to aid in deflecting the sound. A FILE NO.: Z -4923-J (Cont. The revised site plan indicates the placement of a masonry wall on three sides with similar materials as the building construction. Landscaping will be placed around the enclosure to lessen the impact on the abutting street. The site plan indicates the construction of a tunnel carwash facility and the placement of six (6) vacuum stations servicing twelve (12) parking positions. The vacuum stations are only a hose stand. The vacuum system is serviced from a central vacuum motor located inside the trash enclosure, which reduces the noise level significantly compared to other types of carwash vacuum systems. As per the approved PCD the development will be served by a ground mounted monument sign not to exceed ten feet in height and one hundred square feet in area. Directional signage per the typical zoning ordinance standards will be placed on the site. The maximum percentage of facade area to be covered by signage will be less than the typical ordinance standards for commercial zones. As per the approved PCD signage will be located on two facades; the southern and western facades. The hours of operation for the carwash facility will be Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm and Sunday from 9 am to 7 pm. There are six to ten employees of the business. Although the applicant has done an adequate job in addressing the technical issues associated with the site plan, staff has concerns with the placement of this type use within the development. Carwash facilities are typically allowed within the C-4, Open Display Zoning District. The Declaration of Restrictive Covenants which is a part of the PCD approval limited the placement of auto repair bay doors to areas which were not visible from South Shackleford Road. The plan as proposed places the orientation of the building with the entrance to South Shackleford Road and the front of the building oriented to the parking area. Staff does not feel a carwash at this location on the site is appropriate. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MARCH 10, 2011) Mr. Scott McLain was present representing the application request. There were no registered objectors present. Staff presented the item with a recommendation of denial of the request. Mr. McLain stated his company owned 23 carwashes in six (6) states. He stated the company strived to be a good neighbor. He stated if the development was approved the store would be the 10'" location in Arkansas. He stated Camp Aldersgate had VA FILE NO.: Z -4923-J (Cont. provided a letter of support. Mr. McLain stated his carwash was not like most. He stated there would be little to no noise generated from the site. He stated any noise would be located along the western end of the building where the driers were located. He stated the vacuum system was a central vacuum, which limited sound emissions. He stated the signage plan was consistent with the approved PCD. Mr. McLain stated the doors would be open during business hours but would be closed during the evening. He stated the elevation of the street and the site would limit visibility of the tunnel from South Shackleford Road. Mr. McLain stated the order boards did not offer interaction with the customer. He stated once a choice was made the board instructed the customer of the next steps. The Commission questioned Mr. McLain as to the location of the dumpster. Mr. McLain stated the dumpster was located along South Shacklefrod Road but would be placed in an enclosure constructed of similar materials as the building. He stated gates would also be placed on the enclosure to screen the dumpster from the customer traffic. He stated landscaping would be placed around the enclosure as required by the approved PCD. He stated there was staff on site to keep the premises clear of trash. The Commission questioned the hours of operation. Mr. McClain stated the free air and water and the vacuums were powered down when the business was not open. He stated with these items not being available this limited the number of persons on the site after hours. He stated the Shackleford Crossing development employed a security guard. He stated if necessary he would also request the guard to patrol his property as well. There was no further discussion of the item. The chair entertained a motion for approval of the item subject to compliance with the comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report. The motion carried by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. �E• r t UVV'" C( (r" ld w11 C&4,44- NAME: Shackleford Crossing Revised Long -form PCD LOCATION: located on the Southwest corner of Shackleford Road and 1-430 Planning Staff Comments: 1.
