completion of the sewer main which was proposed for constructed along the Highway
10 frontage of the property. The proposal included (Phase 1) the utilization of an
existing residential structure located at the rear of the site as an office use for a civil
engineering company and -(Phase 11) was to consist of the construction-of_a second -
office building (5,080 square feet) at the front of the property. The Phase I proposal
included the remodeling of the existing structure and the utilization of the existing
12 -foot driveway. The Phase II portion included the abandonment of the existing
driveway, closure of the existing curb cut, and construction of a new driveway and curb
cut. The new curb cut was to be 24 -feet. A new septic system was proposed on the
site with connection to city sewer when service became available. The applicant
indicated upon availability of sewer service Phase 11 would be initiated.
Ordinance No. 18,211 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 15,
2000, established the Childress Short -form POD on property adjacent to the east
containing 1.5 acres. The site contained a 9,400 square foot, two-story brick building
which was previously used as a non -conforming photography studio. The applicant
proposed the rezoning to allow redevelopment of the site with building and parking lot
additions. The applicant proposed 0-1, Quiet Office District uses as allowable uses for
the site. The applicant proposed a two phased development for the property: Phase
included the construction of an asphalt drive extending from Cantrell Road, construction
of 24 parking spaces on the south side of the existing building, dumpster location, use
of the exiting building for 0-1 permitted uses. Phase 11 was to consist of the
construction of an 8,000 square foot addition to the existing building, extend the
driveway along the east side of the building, construction of 32 additional parking
spaces on the north side of the building, relocation of the dumpster area. The applicant
noted a single sign would be placed near the entrance to the property, which would
conform to the Highway 10 Design Overlay Standards.
An application was filed for Lots 2 and 3 of the Boydston Subdivision to rezone the
property from R-2, Single-family to C-3, General Commercial District. The area is
located west of the South Hills Terrace Addition POD. The request was withdrawn prior
to the legal ad being placed for the June 11, 1985, Planning Commission Public
Hearing.
Ordinance No. 18,564 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on September 18,
2001, rezoned Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the Boydston Subdivision from R-2, Single-family to
POD. The approval was later revoked by the Board of Directors on April 20, 2004,
restoring the previously held R-2, Single-family zoning classification. The property
contained 1.29 acres.
Ordinance No. 19,506 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on March 21, 2006,
rezoned two previously approved POD's and expanded the area to property located to
the west of the POD zoned property (the expanded area was zoned R-2, Single-family)
to POD to allow the development of four buildings containing on three lots. 0-3,
General Office District uses were approved as allowable uses for the site. The approval
did allow the placement of ten percent of the total gross floor area as an accessory use

overall development plan was in compliance with the Highway 10 Design Overlay
District with the exception of the rear yard setback which was approved with a 25 -foot

limited to 7 am to 7 pm.
A. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT -

Central Arkansas Water regarding the size and location of the water meter. A Capital
Investment Charge based on the size of the meter connect(s) will apply to this project in
addition to normal charges. This fee will apply to all connections including metered
connections off the private fire system. Due to the nature of this 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 RPZA, successful
tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified Assembly Tester licensed by the
