Planning Division:
The request is in the Chenal Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows
Commercial (C) for the requested area. The Commercial category includes a
broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional
services, and general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and
scale, depending on the trade area that they serve. The application is to rezone
from PCD (Planned Commercial Development) to PCD (Planned Commercial
Development). The request is to develop a hospital on the site.
Surrounding the application area, Future Land Use Map shows developed and
vacant Commercial (C). The commercial uses include banking, professional
offices, restaurants, and general retail uses. North and east of subject site are
areas shown as Office (0). The Office (0) category represents services provided
directly to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, medical) as well as general offices
which support more basic economic activities. The Office (0) area includes
banking, general offices as well as undeveloped land.
This site is within the Chenal Design Overlay District.
Master Street Plan:
Rahling Circle is a Local Street. A Local Street which abuts non-residential or
residential use which is more intense than duplex or two -unit residential is a
Commercial Street. These streets have the same design standard as a Collector.
Right-of-way is 60'. Sidewalks are required on both sides. Chenal Parkway is
shown on the Master Street Plan Map to be a Principal Arterial: Principal Arterials
are roads designed to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators
or activity centers within urbanized areas. Right of way of 110 feet is required.
Sidewalks are required on both sides. These streets may require dedication of
additional right-of-way and may require street improvements.
Bicycle Plan:
The Master Bike Plan Map shows proposed Class I Bike Path along Chenal
Parkway. Class I Bike Paths are routes designated for the sole use of bicycles
that is physically separated from vehicular lanes.
Historic Preservation Plan:
There are no Historic Sites or Districts in vicinity.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to revise an existing approved PCD to develop a 3.31 acre
site to allow for the construction a one-story Micro Hospital that will contain nine
W
FILE Na.: Z-6323-BB Cont.
(9) emergency rooms and four (4) patient rooms. The site is undeveloped and
mostly wooded. The property represents a continuation of development of an
existing approved PCD. The overall site contains a mixture of office and
commercial uses in all directions. The property is located in the Chenal Overlay
Design District.
All building setbacks comply with the City's Zoning Code for structures in
commercial zones.
The proposed building will be 18,661 square foot in area and will operate 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. The building will not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in
height.
Access to the site will be from a concrete driveway which extends from Rahling
Circle. The site plan indicates an existing cross -access easement with the bank
facility to the west and a cross -access easement for the development to the east.
The applicant is proposing fifty (59) parking spaces of which twenty-four (24) will
be in the front of the building along Rahling Circle. The site plan indicates parking
spaces along the west and south sides of the building. Additional parking spaces
are provided further south behind the building along a retaining wall as required.
Staff feels the parking is sufficient to serve the proposed use.
The applicant notes a monument style sign to be located in the northwestern
portion of the property at the entrance to the site along Rahling Circle. Any signage
must conform to Section 36-349 of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant notes all sight lighting will be low-level and directed away from
adjacent properties.
A dumpster will be located on the west side if the building adjacent to the loading
zone. The dumpster shall comply with screening requirement as per Section
36-523(d) of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
Staff is supportive of the requested revised PCD zoning. Staff views the request
as reasonable. To staffs knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated
with this application. Staff feels the development of the site is appropriate. The
proposed commercial use will be compatible with the surrounding developed
commercial and office uses in the area. The proposal represents a continuation
of development of a previously approved PCD. Staff feels the development will
not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area.
STAFF RECOMMEDATiON:
Staff recommends approval of the requested PCD, subject to compliance with
the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F, and the staff
