White-Daters & Associates, Inc. #7 Chenal Club Circle 401 S. Victory Street Little Rock, AR 72211 Little Rock, AR 72201 138.4 acres NUMBER OF LOTS: 80 FT. NEW STREET: 20,000 ZONING: PCD PROPOSED USES: PLANNING DISTRICT: 19 CENSUS TRACT: 42.02 VARIANCES REQUESTED: None BACKGROUND: Mixed uses including Commercial, Office, and Residential uses This PCD received preliminary approval from the Planning Commission on January 10, 1995 and by the Board of Directors on February 21, 1995 a companion ordinance was passed by the Board on February 21, 1995 providing for certain street design standards to be varied from ordinance requirements. Ordinance No. 16,851 establishing the PCD and 16,852 reducing standards require revocation and re-establishment in a modified form. FILE NO.: Z -5936/Z-4807 (Cont.) This plan was a new concept mixed use project with special street design, mixed structures and a controlled environment. STAFF UPDATE AND OWNERS PROPOSAL: This PCD did not develop as proposed and required within three years. Therefore, the planned development requires modification. The owner desires to pursue uses on portions of the land that will revert to C-2 and stay within the permitted uses of that district. A site plan review by the Planning Commission would follow on the C-2 parcel. The developer proposes to retain the commercial, office and residential elements as included within the original PCD, north of Rahling Road extended and southwest of the C-2 tract, (47.88 acres). The C-2 parcel would be developed separately from the PCD and on a different time schedule. The PCD as re-established along with the several design variances would be granted an additional three years as a conceptual planned development. What this means is that the 1995 planned use and design remains the controlling plan with the Planning Commission reviewing final plans in a public hearing prior to building permits. Although there will be two ordinances going to the City Board; one zoning and one on street variances, the Planning Commission should act with one motion since the street design matters are an integral part of the PCD Plan. The Board will act on two ordinances to approve the plan. STAFF RECONNENDATIONS: The staff recommends approval of the requested restructure and reinstatement of this PCD (concept only) with the understanding that the phases of development shall each be presented to the Planning Commission for final plan and plat review. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MAY 25, 2000) The staff reported to the Commission that there was only one person of record with opposition and that letter from William Thomas.
