BACKGROUND:
The site contains a single story 47,675 square foot commercial building and 157 parking
spaces. The site is an existing developed site, which met the intent of the Highway 10
Design Overlay District some years ago when developed.
Ordinance No. 15,718 dated August 1, 1989, rezoned the site from R-2, Single-family to
PCD to allow Safeway to open a grocery store on the site. The site operated as a
grocery store until Affiliated Foods "down -sized" their operation closing several stores in
the central Arkansas area. The site has been vacant since that time.

included: truck deliveries were to be coordinated from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm seven (7)
days per week, all trash compacting was to be done inside the store, the dumpster
pick-ups were to be made between 7:30 am and 9:30 am Monday through Saturday and
the dumpster was to be located in a fenced area, there was to be nothing stored outside
of the building and the parking area clean-up was to be conducted during regular
business hours.
On December 12, 2000, the Little Rock Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No.
18,398 revising the previously approved PCD to add additional uses. The applicant
proposed to add selected C-3, General Commercial uses to be allowed as alternative
uses for the site. The approved uses included Bank or savings and loan office, Book
and stationary store, Church, Cigar/tobacco and candy store, Clinic, Clothing store,
Custom sewing and millinery, Drugstore or pharmacy, Duplication shop, Eating place

shop, Jewelry store, Lawn_ and garden center — enclosed, Office (general and
professional), Office/showroom with warehouse (with retail sales), Office equipment
sales and service, Optical shop, Paint and wallpaper store, Pet shop. The approval
allowed the listed uses or any combination of the uses should one tenant not occupy
the entire space.
Ordinance No. 19,546 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on June 6, 2006,
allowed a revision to the previously approved PCD to add a drive-through restaurant as
an allowable use for the site. The site plan indicated the construction of a 2,262 square
foot facility containing indoor dining only. The site would remain as one parcel and the
restaurant would be located on a leased parcel with a portion of the existing parking
assigned to the new use. The existing building contained 43,560 square feet of gross
floor area with an area indicated for expansion for a total of 47,585 square feet of gross
floor area. The site contained a total of 184 parking spaces.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
The applicant is now proposing a revision to the previously approved PCD to allow
an increase in the total building area of the drive-thru restaurant. The building is
proposed with 2,475 square feet, approximately 10 percent larger than the original
approval. The exterior of the building will be antique stucco with a masonry base
to match the masonry on the exiting old Harvest Food Building on the site.
Signage is proposed consistent with signage allowed per the Highway 10 Design
Overlay District. A small outdoor dining area has been indicated containing three
to four tables. All other previous conditions continue to apply to the current
request.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (November 16, 2006)
The applicant was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the proposed development indicating there were a few outstanding
issues associated with the request. Staff stated the request was to allow
additional square footage for the drive-through restaurant. Staff stated based on
parking for a restaurant and the use of the building for C-3 uses, not including a
restaurant, the provided parking was not sufficient. Staff stated any future uses
of the existing building would have to comply with the provided parking. Staff
questioned if the dumpster service hours would be limited to daylight hours.
Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and
agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information
and clarification. 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 to staff addressing most of the
technical issues raised at the November 16, 2006, Subdivision Committee
meeting. The site plan indicates the future uses of the buildings will comply with
the parking provided.
The proposal is to allow a revision to the previously approved Planned
Commercial Development to allow an increase in the total building area of the
drive-through restaurant. The building is proposed with 2,475 square feet,
approximately 10 percent larger than the original approval. The exterior of the
building will be antique stucco with a masonry base to match the masonry on the
exiting old Harvest Food Building on the site. A small outdoor dining area
including three to four tables has been indicated on the site plan.
The hours of operation are proposed from 6:00 am to midnight on weekends and
11 pm on weeknights. The site plan indicates the dumpster will be placed along
the southern perimeter of the site, adjacent to the existing dumpster located on
the site and a note has been included concerning the required dumpster
screening. The hours of service will be limited to the current hours of service of
the existing dumpsters located on the site.
The proposal includes building signage a maximum of ten percent of the fagade
area of the building along the northern facade adjacent to Cantrell Road. The
existing ground mounted signs will be reconstructed, one located on Cantrell
Road and the second located on Taylor Loop Road, consistent with signage as
allowed per the Highway 10 Design Overlay District or a maximum of ten feet in
height and one hundred square feet in area.
The site plan indicates the construction of a 2,475 square foot facility containing
a indoor dining along with a small area of outdoor. The site will remain as one

parcel and the restaurant will be located on a leased parcel with a portion of the
existing parking assigned to the new use through a cross access and parking
agreement. The existing building contains 43,560 square feet of gross floor area
with an area indicated for expansion for a total of 47,585 square feet of gross
floor area. The total square footage on the site at ultimate build out would be
49,847 square feet. The typical minimum parking required would be 182 parking
spaces. The site contains a total of 175 parking spaces which is 7 parking
spaces less than the typical minimum parking required for a mixed use
development. Staff is supportive of the reduced number of parking spaces. The
site is approved for a limited list of allowable uses, many of which do not
generate a large parking demand. Staff would however recommend the
proposed uses of the site match the available parking on the site as the site
redevelops with new uses.
The site plan indicates the placement of a menu order board to serve the
drive-through restaurant. The site plan indicates the order board will be
screened per typical minimum ordinance standards. The speakers will be
mounted with sufficient baffling on all sides in a manner which will direct the
south produced to the vehicle served. Each speaker location will be designed to
provide for a solid wall at least six feet in height and twenty feet in length along
the opposite lane line. The wall will be constructed of masonry or wood with a
textured finish to diminish sound deflection.
Staff is supportive of the request. The applicant is requesting an amendment to
the currently approved Planned Commercial Development to allow a larger
building footprint than was previously approved. The original site plan allowed
the construction of a 2,250 square foot building and the proposed site plan
2,475 square foot building or a 10 percent increase in the footprint. Staff does
not feel the increase will significantly impact the site or the immediate area.
To staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the
request. The total site area contains 5.9 acres with 2.1 acres or 35 percent in
landscaped and undeveloped area and 3.8 acres or 65 percent with building and
parking coverage. Staff does not feel the proposed development of a restaurant
facility on this site, if designed as proposed, will negatively impact the adjoining
properties.

Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E, F and H of the above
agenda staff report.
