A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT
Community Health Centers of Arkansas (CHCA) plans to renovate the building into
the Franklin Community Health Complex, a public-private partnership approach to
deliver efficient, comprehensive and quality healthcare services and provide public
health programming, information on healthcare -oriented careers, a business
incubator, and community outreach services. CHCA will collaborate with several
healthcare -oriented organizations to deliver primary care and public health
programming to yield a positive impact for the neighborhood and city.
In order to start providing healthcare services to the community, CHCA intends to
locate a modular building specifically suited for providing healthcare on a
temporary basis while the renovations to the former school are completed. The
modular building is designed and constructed to meet federal and state regulations
and standards for a health center.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The 10 -acres property contains the former school building and associated parking.
Vehicular access is from both South Harrison and West 18th Streets.
Surrounding properties are generally developed with single-family residences.
C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
As of this writing, staff has not received any comments from area property owners
or neighborhood associations. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners
of properties located within 200 feet of the site, as well as the Oak Forest, Hope,
and University District neighborhoods.
D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS CONDITIONS:
1. Due to the proposed use of the property, the Master Street Plan specifies that
Harrison Street for the frontage of this property must meet commercial street
standards with a right-of-way located 30 ft. from centerline. Due to the private
improvements, dedicate right-of-way to the existing fence from centerline.
2. Due to the proposed use of the property, the Master Street Plan specifies that
W. 18th Street for the frontage of this property must meet commercial street
standards with a right-of-way located 30 ft. from centerline. Due to the private

water service is required. Due to the nature of this facility, installation of an
approved reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly (RPZ) is required
on the domestic water service. This assembly must be installed prior to the first
point of use. Central Arkansas Water (CAW) requires that upon installation of the
RPZA, successful tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified
Assembly Tester licensed by the State of Arkansas and approved by CAW. The
test results must be sent to CAW's Cross Connection Section within ten days of

Planning Division: This request is located in 1-630 Planning District. The Land
Use Plan shows Public Institutional (PI) for this property. This category includes
public and quasi -public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community
such as schools, libraries, fire stations, churches, utility substations, and hospitals.
The applicant has applied for a rezoning from R-3, CUP (Single Family District,
Conditional Use Permit) to POD (Planned Office Development District) to allow the
conversion of this former school to a community health care use and temporary
modular building location.
Master Street Plan: To the west of the property is Harrison, to the north is 16th
Street and to the south is 18th Street; all are shown as Local Streets on the Master
Street Plan. The primary function of Local Streets is to provide access to adjacent
properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more
intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as "Commercial Streets".
A Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may
require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for
entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle P1ar7: There is a Class III Bike Route shown along Harrison. This bike
route requires no additional right-of-way, but either a sign or pavement marking to
identify and direct the route.
H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 7, 2019)
The applicant was present. Staff presented the item to the committee. Planning
staff requested more details on the location of the modular building, a preliminary
plan for the utilization of the building, and any proposed signage. Public Works
explained the requirements for right-of-way dedications. Responses to the
comments were to be received by August 14, 2019. The committee forwarded the
item to the full commission.
ANALYSIS:
The adaptive reuse of former school buildings presents several challenges.
Among them are compatibility with the neighborhood and the potential for
disruptive impacts. This proposal is consistent with the previous use as an
institution primarily serving the surrounding community and nearby
neighborhoods. Additionally, there are no permanent changes proposed to the
site, the modular building being of a temporary nature.
The hours of operation would be Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm.
It is proposed to reuse the existing signage on the property.
