FILE NO.: Z -5773-B Cont. BACKGROUND: On January 4, 1994, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the phased development of this R-2, Single-family zoned, 10.8+ tract by St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. The phased development included three (3) buildings to be connected by a central lobby area. Phase I was a two-story multipurpose building containing classrooms and administrative offices on the first floor and a multipurpose space on the second floor. The multipurpose space could accommodate up to 400 persons for worship services. Phase II was a second building (two-story) containing additional and classroom space and a 1000 seat sanctuary. Once this phase was completed, the Phase I multipurpose space would become a formal fellowship hall. The Phase III building was a two-story open space to be used for recreation and fellowship hall. Phased parking for 259 on-site parking spaces was included. The eastern 1/3 of the property was shown to remain wooded and natural with hiking/interpretative trails and benches for contemplation. On November 11, 1999, the Director of Planning and Development approved a modification to the plan allowing for the reorientation of the buildings and parking and the addition of a garden, outdoor altar and Columbarium. Initial access to the site was to be from a single driveway onto Chenal Parkway. A later phase added access to Chenal Valley Drive on the north. The Phase I building, much of the parking and the Columbarium were constructed as proposed. On January 19, 2006, the Church was approved a revision to the Conditional Use Permit to allow for construction of a Prayer House (medication space) in the woods on the eastern 1/3 of the property. The Prayer House contained approximately 1500 square feet of enclosed space and two (2) adjacent gardens. There was a path from a proposed driveway to the Prayer House. The path was proposed with crushed rock, ADA compliant. The enclosed medication space was designed to accommodate no more than 24 people and would be used on an intermittent basis. The building was designed to fade into the texture of the woods. The building was a foundation of native stone and clad in textured copper shingles to imitate the bark of the pine trees on the site. As the copper aged, it would oxidize and form a patina that would blend in with the color and textures of the native pines and oaks. The roof form was an arc that reached upward to the sky, with a ribbon of translucent glass between the roof and the top of the copper clad wall. The height of the building was approximately 26 -feet. The Prayer House and path have been completed. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: The applicant is now requesting a rezoning of the site from R-2, Single-family with a CUP, Conditional Use Permit, for a church to PD -R, Planned Development Residential District, to allow the development of the site with multiple buildings in a multi -phased development plan. The Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas purchased the property from Deltic Farm & Timber Company, Inc. on November 26, 1990, and approved the use of the site for St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. A master plan for the development of the site was submitted to the City and a Conditional Use Permit was approved on 2 FILE NO.: Z -5773-B Cant. January 4, 1994. The first phase of construction included the 13,550 square foot "worship Center' which was completed in 1995. A 1,741 square foot "House of Prayer" was completed in 2007. The site currently includes 160 parking spaces.

Parking requirements will be reevaluated when complete program of Sanctuary Building is developed. The master plan for the continued development of the site includes a new Sanctuary Building, an Educational Facility and Outdoor Chapel. St. Margaret's recently held a successful capital campaign to raise funds for the new Educational Facility and hired Allison + Partners to move ahead with the construction documents for the building. The building will primarily be used for Sunday School classes by the church; it will also include a large multi-purpose room and staff offices. The new facility will be located adjacent to the existing Welcome Center on a previously undeveloped portion of the site. The Chenal Valley Architectural Control Committee has provided confirmation of approval of the proposed development plan. St. Margaret's is proposing to begin construction in the Fall of 2017 and open the facility in September 2018. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The Church, the Prayer House and the Columbarium have been completed. The initial phases of parking have been completed. Chenal Parkway is developed as a four (4) lane street with a median south of this site tapering to a two (2) lanes north of Chenal Valley Drive. Chenal Valley Drive is in place and terminates in a cul-de-sac along this property's eastern boundary. There are single-family homes located to the south, west and southwest of this site. There is undeveloped C-2, Shopping Center District zoned property located to the north of this site and OS, Open Space zoned property located to the east of this site. C.

The applicant has provided the proposed signage plan, the location of the proposed fences and walls and indicated the placement of future parking to serve additional buildings indicated for future construction. The request is to rezone the site from R-2, Single-family with a CUP, Conditional Use Permit, for a church to PD -R, Planned Development Residential District, to allow the development of the site with multiple buildings in a multi -phased development plan. The applicant indicates all development will not be completed within the three (3) year limited time frame offered by the Conditional Use Permit process, therefore the applicant is seeking the rezoning. The Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas purchased the property from Deltic Farm & Timber Company, Inc. on November 26, 1990, and approved the use of the site for St. Margaret's Episcopal Church.

The first phase of construction included the 13,550 square foot "worship Center" which was completed in 1995. A 1,741 square foot "House of Prayer" was completed in 2007. The site currently includes 160 parking spaces. The proposed plan indicates the placement of an educational facility containing a 4,600 building footprint with two (2) levels for a total of 9,200 square feet. The future sanctuary building is indicated containing an 18,000 square foot building envelope with the potential for two (2) levels and a maximum of 36,000 gross square feet. The future sanctuary building is indicated on the plan to be included in the overall master plan but the building has not been designed. The parking required to meet the typical minimum standards will be added to accommodate the building at the time of construction. The educational facility will be used primarily for Sunday School classes by the church; it will also include a large multi-purpose room and staff offices. The new facility will be located adjacent to the existing Welcome Center on a previously undeveloped portion of the site. The Chenal Valley Architectural Control Committee has provided confirmation of approval of the proposed development plan.
