NEW STREET: 0 LF WARD: 7 PLANNING DISTRICT: 16 — Otter Creek CENSUS TRACT: 41.03 CURRENT ZONING: R-2, Single-family with a CUP for the church ALLOWED USES: Church PROPOSED ZONING: PD -O PROPOSED USE: Office VARIANCEMAIVERS: None requested. FILE NO.: Z-5365-F(Cont. BACKGROUND: On February 12, 1991, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing for construction of a new church building on this R-2, Single-family zoned 168 -acre tract. The approval included a single, two—story, 42,000 square foot building and associated parking. On September 6, 1994, the Commission approved an amendment to the CUP to allow for the placement of four (4) portable classroom buildings on the site. Use of the portable buildings was to be for a period of three (3) years or until permanent classroom facilities were constructed, whichever came first. On July 1996, the Commission approved an amendment to the CUP to allow for the addition of a daycare and kindergarten within the existing building. The daycare/kindergarten was approved to have a maximum enrollment of 200 children. At that time, the entire congregation had not moved from Geyer Springs to this new facility. The four (4) previously approved portable buildings had not yet been placed on the property. Development still consisted only of the initial 42,000 square foot building and the associated parking. On May 15, 1997, the Commission approved an amendment to the CUP allowing for the phased expansion of the building and parking. One large, temporary modular building had been placed on the site adjacent to the church building. Phase 1 consisted of an 85,000 square foot, two —story building addition and additional parking. Phase 1 was to contain a 2,000 seat sanctuary, offices, music rehearsal space and classrooms. The large, temporary modular building was to be removed after the completion of Phase 1. Phase 2 was to contain a fellowship hall and additional classroom space. Phase 1 was completed and the large, temporary modular building was removed. On January 21, 2000, staff approved the placement of two (2) additional portable classroom buildings until September 18, 2000. On August 22, 2000, staff approved the continued use of the four (4) portable classroom buildings until September 2001. On August 27, 2001, staff approved an extension, allowing four (4) portable classrooms to remain until September 2002. No additional extensions were granted and the four (4) portable classroom buildings remained on the site. On October 30, 2003, the Commission approved the continued use of the four (4) portable classrooms until October 30, 2005 or until the next phase of construction, whichever occurred first. On May 6, 2004, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a revision to the Church's overall master plan. The approval also allowed the placement of a fifth portable building on the site to be used for administrative space. The Church's new Master Plan included additional educational space in all areas, additional administration space, Family Life 6 FILE NO.: Z -5365-F (Co Center, outdoor picnic and recreation areas, and the remodeling of various areas within the existing church including the fellowship hall. The conceptual Master Plan incorporated an additional 600 parking spaces and approximately 175,000 additional square feet of floor area. The new plan would result in a facility of some 300,000 square feet in size and 1,650 parking spaces. The new plan also incorporated uses of the portions of the site that abuts Stagecoach Road, two (2) softball fields and a parking lot were proposed for development in this area. The ball fields have not been constructed. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: The applicant is now proposing the rezoning of a small area of the site from R-2, Single-family to PD -O, Planned Development Office, to allow the construction of a new building to be used by Arkansas Baptist Children's Home and Family Ministries. The building is located along the northern portion of the site. The building is proposed 74 -feet by 50 -feet. Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes & Family Ministries is a nonprofit agency of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. Through residential child care, family care, foster care and counseling services, Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes & Family Ministries seeks to be the foremost provider to children and families in crisis in Arkansas. Since its founding in 1894, Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes & Family Ministries has been ministering to and meeting needs of some of the state's most vulnerable residents. Today, Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes & Family Ministries provides a safe, secure home for an average of 300 children and families each year, as well as about 2,300 counseling sessions a year. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency, Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes and Family Ministries relies on the generosity of Arkansas Baptist churches, businesses and individuals for the majority of its funding. Churches give to our annual Thanksgiving Offering, Mother's Day Offering, The Cooperative Program, sponsorships and other special gifts. B.

ANAI YSIS- There were no outstanding technical issues in need of addressing via a revised site plan. The request is to rezone a small area of this 168 -acre tract from R-2, Single-family to PD -O, Planned Development Office. The rezoning will allow the construction of a new building on the site to be used by Arkansas Baptist Children's Home and Family Ministries. The building is located along the northern portion of the site. The building is proposed 74 -feet by 50 -feet containing 3,700 square feet. The building will be metered for utilities individually and not be connected to the church's utilities for metering of water, wastewater and/or electrical services. The applicant has indicated the office hours for the Arkansas Baptist Children's Home and Family Ministries are from 6 am to 8 pm Monday through Saturday. The services proposed on site will be counseling services for children and families. There will be no overnight lodging at this location.

The signage will be limited to building signage allowed in office zones or a maximum of ten (10) percent of the front fagade area. Directional and wayfinding signage may be added to the site. Any directional signage will comply with the typical standards of the sign ordinance. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking approval to allow the construction of a new building on the site to serve as a counseling service which is not being provided by the church but a separate entity. The office will utilize parking currently on-site. Staff does not feel the sharing of parking will have any impact on the developed site.
