BACKGROUND:
FT. NEW STREET: 0 LF
Ordinance No. 16,690 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on June 7, 1994,
established South Hills Terrace Addition Short -form POD containing 1.27 acres.
Ordinance No. 16,691 allowed for a deferral of the required sidewalk, the required
detention and the front yard landscaping for three years or to within sixty days of
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 II) 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 11 portion included the abandonment of the existing
FILE NO.: Z -5817-F (Cont.)
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 II 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 existing building for 0-1 permitted uses. Phase II 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
as identified in the 0-3, General Office Zoning District. The lots ranged in size from
1.18 acres to 1.53 acres. The construction of a single story building was proposed for
Lots1 and 2 and Lot 3 was proposed with two buildings, a single -story building and a
two level building utilizing the slope of the site. The building located on Lot 1 contained
9,000 square feet. The building on Lot 2 contained 12,600 square feet and the building
on Lot 3 contained a 3,000 square foot building and a 12,000 square foot building. The
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
2

setback (40 -feet typically required per the DOD). The dumpster service hours were
limited to 7 am to 7 pm.
Ordinance No. 20,453 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on August 16,
2011, revoked the POD zoning and restored the previously held R-2, Single-family
zoning district.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (October 28, 2015)
The applicant was present. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there
were additional items necessary to complete the review process. Staff stated the
site was located in the Highway 10 Design Overlay District. Staff stated there
was specific development criteria related to site design and setback. Staff
questioned the location of any proposed dumpster facilities. Staff also requested
the applicant provide the proposed signage plan, building height and the location
of any proposed fences.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the right of way for
Cantrell Road was to be 55 -feet from centerline. Staff also stated the western
most driveway location should be removed from the development plan. Staff
stated the drive was located too near the intersection with Rummell Road and
would create sight distance concerns. Staff stated a sketch grading and
drainage plan was required to be provided. Staff also stated the City's
stormwater detention ordinance would apply to the future development of
the site.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated the Highway 10 DOD
required the placement of a 40 -foot landscape strip in the front yard area of the
development. Staff encouraged the developer to use berming within the 40 -foot
landscape area. Staff also stated the perimeter planting strips were to include a
minimum of 25 -feet on the non -street side perimeters.
There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
