BACKGROUND:
On December 26, 1990, the Little Rock Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No.
15,990 establishing Mechanics Lumber Company PCD. The approval allowed for the
construction of a hardware store and lumberyard at the intersection of Chenal Parkway
and Kanis Road. The project consisted of 17,500 square feet of retail and
32,320 square feet of lumber storage. Two out parcels were proposed with no
immediate development plans for the parcels. A requirement was that any subsequent
use proposed for the out parcels be approved by the Commission and Board of
Directors.
On December 20, 1994, the Little Rock Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No.

Parkway to locate on a 1.46 acre out parcel lot located at the intersection of Chenal
Parkway and Kanis Road. The branch bank facility was to contain 2,466 square feet
with a 2,340 square foot drive-thru canopy. Ordinance No. 16,812 waived the sidewalk
requirement for the Worthen Bank Branch on Chenal Parkway and along the Kanis
Road frontage.
Ordinance No. 17,008 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on November 21,
1995, amended the previously approved PCD to allow for elimination of the eastern out
parcel and combining the out parcel with the hardware store lot. The applicant
proposed the construction of a 15,000 square foot addition to the existing building,
including an expanded parking area. Ordinance No. 17,009 provided for the location
and restriction of access drives to the site from the proposed north/south arterial
(Wellington Hills Road). Ordinance No. 17,012 provided for the payment of $20,000
toward the construction for the intersection of Chenal Parkway and the future east
boundary street. Ordinance No. 17,013 provided for the construction of the east
boundary street to be the full width of the north one-half of the east boundary street.
Ordinance No. 17,574 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on September 16,
1997, removed the eastern most lot from the PCD and zoned the property C-3, General
Commercial District.
Ordinance No. 19,522 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on May 2, 2006,
allowed a revision to the PCD to allow an expansion of the facilities located on the site.
The subject property contained 5.749 acres, which was the result of combining Lot 1, a
platted lot and Lot 3, which was unplatted. Lot 1 was zoned PCD and Lot 3 was zoned
C-3, General Commercial District. The site contained a 12,951 square foot material
storage area and 63 parking spaces. The desire was to expand the material storage
area by 13,327 square feet and add 36 new parking spaces. The new material storage
area was proposed under roof and the storage area that faced the Parkway was
proposed with exposed aggregate concrete tilt -up panel walls. The new materials
storage area that faces east was to be finished in the same manner as the existing
structure, which was painted metallic siding.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The applicant is now requesting to amend the previously approved PCD to allow
the creation of three (3) lots within the existing parcel. The site is the former
National Home Center property which was developed in two (2) phases. A
portion of the building will be sold to an office user with the remaining warehouse
area retained by the current owner. The third lot is proposed to allow flexibility
should a user come along that does not desire to purchase the entire remaining
portion of the site. At the time of development of the third parcel a revision to the
PCD will be sought to allow for the review and approval of the site plan.

B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is the former National Home Center site including the retail sales area as
well as the warehouse and lumber storage areas. To the east of the site is the
undeveloped Wellington Hills Road and across the right of way is a property
currently zoned C-3, General Commercial District which is currently vacant. The
area to the west is developed with a branch bank. Chenal Parkway is
constructed to Master Street Plan standard with a sidewalk located along the
site. Wellington Village Road has not been constructed adjacent to the site.
Kanis Road is a narrow unimproved road with open ditches along the property
frontage. Other uses in the area include commercial and office uses. To the
north of the site is an automobile dealership, a Wal -green's, a Arby's and
Christian Brothers Automotive Repair. Northwest is a church and an automobile
dealership. South of the site across Kanis Road is a property zoned PCD which
was approved as a plant nursery. A second PCD is located along Kanis Road to
the southwest which was approved for a carwash.

ISSUES/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
Planning Division: This request is located in the Ellis Mountain Planning District.
The Land Use Plan shows Commercial for this property. The applicant has
applied for a rezoning for a revised PCD. This area is covered by the Rock
Creek Neighborhood Action Plan. Their Commercial Development Goal states:
"Aggressively use Planned Zoning Districts (PZDs) to influence more
neighborhood -friendly and better quality developments."
Master Street Plan: Chenal Parkway 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 Chenal
Parkway since it is a Principal Arterial. These streets may require dedication of
right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the
site.
Bicvcle Plan: A Class I bike route is planned along Chenal Parkway. A Class I
bikeway is built separate from or alongside a road. Additional paving and right of
way may be required.
Landscape:
1. Site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance
requirements.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(November 24, 2010)
Mr. John Flake was present representing the request. Staff stated the
application was filed with three options. Staff requested the applicant pick an
option to move forward with. Staff also requested the applicant clearly define the
proposed commercial uses for the site.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated there was an approved
deferral of required street construction along the eastern boundary which was
soon to expire. Staff stated upon the expiration the City would be looking to the
developer to install the required improvements. Staff stated the driveway
spacing requirement along Wellington Hills Road was a minimum of 300 -feet
therefore only one drive would be allowed along the eastern perimeter.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated any new development
would require compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinance
requirements.

item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing the issues raised
at the November 24, 2010, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised site
plan indicates a single option to move forward with to the Commission and Board
of Directors. The option will allow the existing building to be subdivided to allow
for two users and allow for an out -parcel for future development. The applicant
has indicated C-3, General Commercial District uses as allowable uses for the
site. There is no new building construction or paving proposed with the current
request. The subdivision would allow for the sale on a portion of the existing
building to an office user while the property owner retains ownership of the
remainder of the property for future sale or redevelopment. The applicant is not
requesting to extend the previously granted deferral of the required street
improvements to the boundary streets.
The site will be served by cross access and parking agreements between the
property owners. There appear to be 70 parking spaces located on the site.
There are areas included on the site plan where additional parking could be
added should parking become an issue in the future.
The site is located within the Financial Center/Chenal Parkway Design Overlay
District. The District regulates signage and overhead utilities. There is an
existing ground sign located on the site. No additional signage is being
requested.
There are the two (2) lumber storage areas located along Kanis Road which will
cross the property lines between Lots 1A and 1C. The applicant has indicated
these buildings will be removed or within the Bill of Assurance a statement will be
included to address these buildings and maintenance agreements for the
buildings.
To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues
associated with the request. Staff does not feel the revision to the PCD to allow
the creation of three lots within this existing development will significantly impact
the development or the area.
