BACKGROUND:
In 1994, the City of Little Rock Board of Directors approved Ordinance No. 16,762
which rezoned a portion of the property from C-2 to C-3. In January of 1993 a Short -
form PD -C was approved for a one-story retail building containing approximately
FILE NO.: Z -5258-E (Cont.
7,553 square feet. The PCD approved tenant for the site is ABRA Auto Body and Glass
Shop. Access to Lot 1 is from West Markham via a 25 -foot drive through Lot 2.
Ordinance No. 17,468 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on May 6, 1997,
established THJR Addition Lot #2 Short -form PCD, creating a two lot plat and a
rezoning to allow an automobile sales lot. Lot 2 has developed with a 13,200 square
foot building with 209 parking spaces. The building consists of 9,000 square feet on the
first floor for sales and service with an additional 3,600 square feet on the second floor
for parts and general office.
As a condition of approval the applicant agreed to no outdoor paging, the hours of
operation to be from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, all vehicles were to be unloaded on site, the
lighting was to be directional on 25 -foot poles and no automobile body work was to be
performed on Lot 2.
Resolution No. 11,526 of the City of Little Rock Board of Directors dated June 3, 2003,
authorized the purchase of a 1.74 -acre tract of land from the City of Little Rock by the
applicant. Subsequently, Ordinance No. 19,022 was adopted by the Little Rock Board
of Directors on January 6, 2004, which allowed the rezoning of the 1.74 -acres of
property from OS, Open Space to. PCD. The area was included in the previously
approved PCD. The development was'proposed as a two phase development. The
first phase would consist of a 7,200 square foot service facility and approximately
80 parking spaces. The second phase was to be a parking expansion consisting of
85 spaces. The spaces would be used for inventory as well as parking for cars waiting
to be serviced. The new building was not constructed on the site. The automobile
dealership subsequently vacated this site.
Ordinance No. 20,557 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on March 27, 2012,
allowed a revision to the previously approved Planned Commercial Development. The
revision added restaurant, retail and business office uses as allowable uses for the site.
There was an existing building containing 9,773 square feet which housed the
showroom and service area for the former automobile dealership. The applicant
proposed to remodel the existing space to be used as C-3, General Commercial District
and 0-2, Office and Institutional District uses.
The development also consisted of construction of a single story 7,377 square foot
building located directly to the west of the existing structure. This building was
proposed with C-3, General Commercial District and 0-2, Office and Institutional District
uses as allowable uses. The approval. limited the two buildings along West Markham
Street to a total of 8,000 square feet of restaurant space.
Y
The development was proposed with the future construction of a 20,000 square foot
two-story office building in the northeast corner of the property. The building contained
0-2, Office and Institutional District uses along with the permitted ten percent accessory
uses within the structure. A total of 164 parking spaces were provided to serve the
three buildings.

A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The current request is a supplement to the PCD approval received in 2012 with a
request to add a drive-thru window on the east side of the existing building
situated on the eastern portion of the property as well as a drive-thru window on
the west side of the proposed new construction building on the western portion of
the property. These requests are being made in order to accommodate the
needs of tenants that have executed leases.
The current PCD application proposes three changes to the previous PZD
application. 1) The allowance of the aforementioned drive-thru windows. 2) the
allowance of a proposed billboard sign that will be placed on a parking island
near the southwest corner of the property. 3) The removal of a proposed office
building from the zoning application.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The former automobile dealership has vacated the building. There is an auto
body repair shop located on an adjacent lot to the former automobile dealership
accessed via a shared access drive with this development. The single drive
extends from West Markham Street to the north across this developments
parking lot and to the rear of the body shop building. The plat of record includes
the cross access easement for the two lots. The northern boundary of the site is
the Rock Creek. The western boundary is a commercial center including Home
Depot, Target and Chick -fit -A. Other uses in the area include shopping centers
to the south which include. a:,i:mixture of uses including general retail, a
convenience store and restaurants. The area to the east is property zoned PR,
Parks and Recreation, owned by the City.
C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
As of this writing, staff has received a few informational phone calls from area
residents. All property owners located within 200 feet of the site, the Parkway
Place Property Owners Association and the Gibraltar Heights/Pointe
West/Timber Ridge Property Owners Association were notified of the public
hearing.
D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS CONDITIONS:
1. Repair or replace any curb and gutter or sidewalk that is damaged in the
public right-of-way prior to occupancy.
2. A grading permit in accordance with Section 29-186 (c) and (d) will be

7. Insufficient vehicle backing area is shown on the southeast and southern
portion of the site where vehicles will stack in the proposed drive thru.
8. Provide a traffic study showing the projected vehicles accessing and stacking
due to the restaurant` drive thru lanes. Actual times should be considered to
service vehicles in the drive thru.
E. UTILITIES AND FIRE DEPARTMENT/COUNTY PLANNING:
Wastewater: Sewer available to this project.
Entergy:
1. It does not appear the building is located outside the Transmission Line Right
of way. However, EAI will need details on any and all lighting, other
attachments to the building that may potentially violate the horizontal or
vertical clearances required under National Electric Safety Code. EAI's
intentions here are to make sure your plans, during construction and once
fully operating, do not propose a safety risk to you or your customers or any
one that may be performing maintenance to these facilities in the future.
2. Additional information is needed, concerning the proposed sign. In order for
EAI to grant permission for any, sign to be located inside the Transmission
Line Right of way .6 detailed, dimension description is required. Also, if
freestanding lighting is "being considered for the parking area, EAI must
review the height specifications.
3. The Box indicated on the west side of the proposed 6,000 square foot
retail/restaurant is not labeled and EAI can only assume this may be a
dumpster or small building. If this is the case, it must be relocated outside the
80 -foot Transmission Line Right of way because the way dumpsters are
usually emptied by overhead dumping.
4
FILE NO.: Z -5258-E (Cont.
4. EAI's engineering department was not able to locate any elevation details
about the development within Right of way. It is imperative that we review
any and all elevation changes that will take place within the Transmission
Line Right of way. If the building and sign are to be relocated outside and
adjoining the 80 -foot Right of way, EAI requests to review those detailed
plans as well to make sure there is no hazard or clearance issues present.
Center -Point Energy: No comment received.
AT & T: No comment received.
Central Arkansas Water: All Central Arkansas Water requirements in effect at
the time of request for water service must be met. The 50 -foot wide right of way
for the raw water line is owned by Central Arkansas Water (deed recorded Book
242, Page 404 on July 23, 1936 and transferred to Central Arkansas Water in
Document 2001051904 recorded July 3, 2001) and an easement from Central
Arkansas Water will be required in order to allow for access and paving of this
exception. A 16 -foot wide utility easement will be required (in line with the water
line easement platted as part of Lot 1 THJR Addition) to accommodate the
existing 12 -inch water line (installed outside easement recorded Book 1415 Page
323, recorded November 15, 1976, and obtained in conjunction with
Improvement District 325). Water service and fire protection to this tract will be
provided through a separate connection off the 12 -inch main, unless this area is
platted as part of Lot 2, THJR Addition. This development will have minor impact
on the existing water distribution system. Proposed water facilities will be sized
to provide adequate pressure and fire protection. The Little Rock Fire
Department needs to evaluate this site to determine whether additional public
and/or private fire hydrant(s) will be required. If additional fire hydrant(s) are
required they will be installed at the developer's expense. Please submit plans
for water facilities and/or fire protection systems to Central Arkansas Water for
review. Plan revisions may be required after additional review. Contact Central
Arkansas Water regarding procedures for installation of water facilities and/or fire
service. Approval of plans by the Arkansas Department of Health Engineering
Division and the Little Rock Fire Department is required. Contact Central
Arkansas Water regarding the size and location of the water meter. If there are
facilities that need to be adjusted and/or relocated, contact Central Arkansas
Water. That work would be done at the expense of the developer. Due to the
nature of the 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
requires that upon installation of the RPZ assembly, successful tests of the
assembly must be completed by a Certified Assembly Tester licensed in the
State of Arkansas and approved by Central Arkansas Water. The test results
must be sent to Central Arkansas Water's Cross Connection Section within ten
days of installation and annually thereafter. Contact the Cross Connection
Section at 377-1226 if you would like to discuss backflow prevention
requirements for this project.

Mr. Jacob Chi was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the development stating there were additional items necessary to
complete the review process. Staff stated the menu board speaker for the
drive-through was to be screened via a wall unless otherwise approved as a part
of the development plan. Staff also questioned the proposed signage plan,
including building and ground signage. Staff questioned the distance of the
proposed billboard from the property line as well as from the intersection with
Chenal Parkway. Staff stated the previous approval limited the days and hours
of operation to 6 am to midnight seven days per week.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the comments were
reflective of the previous approval. Staff stated a grading permit would be
required prior to the development of the site. Staff stated a special grading
permit would be required for flood hazard areas. Staff stated a new comment
was the request to provide a traffic study showing the projected vehicle
accessing and stacking due to the restaurant drive-thru lanes.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated the City Beautiful
Commission previously granted a variance for the West Markham Street
frontage. Staff stated if the revision to the plan altered the City Beautiful
Commission variance request the, applicant was to file a new application before
the City Beautiful Commission to revise their approval. Staff stated an automatic
irrigation system to water landscaped areas would be required. Staff also stated
prior to the issuance of a building permit a landscape plan stamped with the seal
of a registered landscape architect would be required.
Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies
suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional 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 and cover letter to staff addressing a
number of the issues raised at the March 27, 2013, Subdivision Committee
meeting. The applicant is requesting to not screen the menu board for both the
proposed drive-through windows, provided the signage plan and indicated the

days and hours of operation. The applicant has removed the proposed office
building located in the northern portion of the site and indicated the area with
additional parking and landscaping.
The current request is a supplement to the PCD approval received in 2012 with a
request to add a drive-thru window on the east side of the existing building
situated on the eastern portion of the property as well as a drive-thru window on
the west side of the proposed new construction building on the western portion of
the property. Staff has worked with the applicant to resolve concerns with the
parking layout on the eastern building. The parking spaces along West Markham
Street are to be parallel spaces to allow sufficient maneuvering area on the site.
The request also includes the allowance of a billboard within the front landscaped
areas. The billboard is proposed with an overall pole height of 30 -feet with a sign
area 10 -feet by 20 -feet. The billboard is proposed as an electronic billboard.
The message must comply with the electronic message sign guidelines
established by the City. On a single line display board, there must be no less
than two seconds between message line changes. On double one or greater
display boards, there shall be no less than five seconds between message
changes. The billboard is located 14.5 feet from the right of way line. The
billboard is located 775 feet from Chenal Parkway.
Section 36-556, off -premises signs states Billboards shall only be allowed in C-3
and C-4 commercial zones, and 1-2 and 1-3, industrial zones. The property is
zoned PCD. In staff's opinion the billboard is not allowed per the ordinance.
All site lighting will remain in place. Any additional lighting will be placed on the
site similar to the existing lighting. The existing lighting does not overspill onto
adjacent properties.
The existing building contains 9,773 square feet and housed the showroom and
service area for the automobile dealership. The applicant is proposing to
remodel the existing space to be used as C-3, General Commercial District uses.
Within the building, the applicant has indicated restaurant space will be available.
The amount of space will be dependent on the proposed new building located to
the west.
A single story building located, directly to the west of the existing structure is
proposed to contain 6,000 square feet. This building is proposed with C-3,
General Commercial zoning district uses as allowable uses. The applicant has
indicated within this building and the existing building a combined total of
8,000 square feet of restaurant space will be available.
A total of 126 parking spaces will serve the two buildings. The development is
proposed containing a total of 15,773 square feet of leaseable space. Based on
the typical parking requirements for a mixed use (shopping center development —
P
FILE NO.: Z -5258-E (Cont.
1 per 225 gross square feet) a total of 70 parking spaces is required. Parking
calculated with the allowance of 8,000 square feet of restaurant space and
7,773 square feet of general retail space would require 105 parking spaces
(80 spaces restaurant and 25 spaces general retail). The parking as proposed is
adequate to serve the proposed use mix.
The development is proposed with a "landmark" sign equal in size to the existing
sign. The sign will not exceed signage allowed in commercial zones or a
maximum of 36 -feet in height and 160 -square feet in area. Building signage will
be placed on the north and south facades of the two retail buildings. The
signage will not exceed ten percent of the fagade of each building.
The hours of operation for the development are proposed as 6:00 am to
12:00 am seven days per week.
The front landscape strips are as approved by the previous site plan and the City
Beautiful Commission. The applicant is not proposing to move the curb line in
front of the existing building. The applicant will seek a franchise to place
landscaping within the right of way as previously proposed and approved.
Staff is supportive of the revisions to the site plan and the allowance of the
addition of the drive-through facilities for the two buildings. Staff does not feel
the applicant has the option of,," seeking approval for the billboard since the
property is not properly zoned to allow the placement of a billboard.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
Staff recommends the billboard be removed from the site plan.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (APRIL 18, 2013)
The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present. Staff
presented the item stating the applicant had removed the billboard request from their
application. Staff stated they were now supportive of the request and presented a
recommendation of approval of the request subject to compliance with the comments
and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report.
There was no further discussion of the 'item. The Chair entertained a motion for
approval of the item as presented by staff. The motion carried by a vote of 7 ayes,
0 noes, 3 absent and 1 open position.
