PROPOSED USE: Selected C-1, Neighborhood Commercial uses for Lot 2 and
mini -warehouse development on Lot 3
VARIANCEMAIVERS: None requested.
BACKGROUND:
In June of 1993, the applicant filed a request for the consideration of a plan to construct
a mini -storage complex in two phases on a portion of this site. The Little Rock Board of
Directors at their September 21, 1993, Public Hearing approved a Planned Commercial
Development by the adoption of Ordinance No. 16,491 to allow the proposed
development. There was no development within the allotted three years and the
FILE NO.: Z -5703-E (Cont.)
ordinance expired on September 21, 1996. The Board of Directors adopted Ordinance
No. 17,760 at their July 7, 1998, Board of Director's meeting repealing the PCD zoning
classification and restoring the R-2, Single-family District.
A POD was recommended for approval by the Little Rock Planning Commission on June
30, 2004, to allow the creation of a two lot plat with office/showroom/warehouse uses as
allowable uses on proposed Lot 2 and a future retail development on proposed Lot 1
(C-3 General Commercial District uses). The Little Rock Board of Directors adopted
Ordinance No. 19,137 on July 20, 2004, establishing Shackleford Commercial Long -form
POD. The proposed development would provide 128,000 square feet of
office/showroom/warehouse space in three buildings. The applicant indicated
133 parking spaces on the proposed site plan.
Ordinance No. 19,278 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 15,
2005, allowed a revision to the previously approved POD to allow Lot 2 to develop as
three individual lots; one lot without public street frontage. The applicant indicated Lot 1
would remain as a future commercial development and proposed Lots 2 — 4 would contain
office/showroom/warehouse uses as allowable uses. Lot 1 was approved with C-3,
General Commercial District uses as allowable uses. The applicant indicated the building
layout had been slightly modified to decrease the size of the buildings. The applicant
indicated Lot 2 would contain a 40,000 square foot building, Lot 3 would contain a
27,500 square foot building and Lot 4 would contain a 47,500 square foot building. There
were 191 parking spaces proposed with the development. The proposed buildings on
Lots 2 — 4 would be served with loading docks in the rear.
The proposed site plan also indicated a single sign on each of the proposed lots. Lot 1
was approved with a maximum sign height of thirty-six feet and a maximum sign area of
one hundred sixty square feet. Signage for proposed Lots 2 — 4 would be consistent with
signage allowed in office zones or a maximum of six feet in height and sixty-four square
feet in area.
Ordinance No. 20,536 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 7, 2012
allowed the development of Lot 4 with a private tennis center. The developer proposed
to construct an indoor tennis facility on Lot 4. The building was proposed similar in size
to the building approved in the original POD for Lot 4. The configuration of the building
would allow six (6) indoor tennis courts. The approval allowed the developer to reduce
the size of the building should he choose to only construct four (4) courts. If the four (4)
courts were constructed this would shorten the length of the building by approximately
100 -feet.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The applicant is now proposing to amend the allowable uses for Lot 2.
The applicant is requesting in addition to the previously approved
office/showroom/warehouse allowable uses for Lot 2 selected C-1, Neighborhood
Commercial uses and Conditional Uses be added as allowable uses for Lot 2.

FILE NO.: Z-570
The applicant is proposing to develop Lot 4 with mini -warehouse buildings. The
site will contain a mixture of climate controlled and non -climate controlled storage
units. The plan indicates the development of six (6) buildings, five (5) of which
contain 12,000 square feet and one (1) building containing 6,625 square feet.
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing ground sign on Lot 2 to advertise
the businesses located on both Lots 2 and 4. The sign is proposed as a
development sign for the two (2) lots and is indicated ten (10) feet in height, ten
(10) feet wide and contains 90 square feet of total sign area.

site is a lawn care service. North of the site are single-family residences. Other
uses in the area include mini -warehouse, office/warehouse and a newly
