BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 17,488 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on May 20, 1997,
established Sport's Authority Long -form PCD. The PCD created a two lot plat with
Sports Authority to be constructed on Lot 1, .
There were stipulations placed on signage, trash pick-up and building height in the
original Planned Development. The sign was to be placed at the south access drive
and be no more than 8 -feet in height and 100 square feet in area. The lighting
incorporated into the sign was to be "turned -off' after business hours. The maximum
height of the building was to be a one-story building with a maximum parapet height of
FILE NO_: Z -6278-E Cont.
20 -feet. The trash was to only be removed from the site between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm
Monday — Friday.
The approval also included an office building to be located on Lot 2 with a maximum
square footage of 7,200 square feet. There was not a specific user for Lot 2. The
following list of permitted uses was approved:
Bank or savings and loan, Church, Medical oriented clinic, such as health, dental,
optical, psychiatric and other similar counseling or treatment facilities for the care of
people, Community welfare or health clinic, Covent or monastery, Day nursery or day
care center, Duplication shop, Family care facility, Laboratory, Library, art gallery,
museum or similar public use, Office — general or professional, Photography studio,
Private school, kindergarten or institutional for special education, School — business,
Studio — broadcasting and recording, Studio — art, music, speech, drama, dance or
other artistic endeavors, Travel bureau, No drive-thru facilities would be allowed.
Ordinance No. 18,699 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on June 4, 2002,
allowed a revision to the previously approved Planned Commercial Development for Lot
2. The revision allowed an increase in the square footage of office space for the
building and allowed a drive-thru pharmacy to be included as an allowable use. A
4,800 square foot medical clinic and a 2,500 square foot pharmacy were approved.
The applicant proposed the pharmacy days and hours of operation to be Monday
through Friday from 8:00 am to 7:00,pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The
clinic would be open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Ordinance No. 19,634 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on November 21,
2006, revised the previously approved PCD for Lot 2. The approval allowed the
pharmacy with drive-through window to be changed into a music recording studio with
coffee service for the patrons of the studio and to be sold to the general public through
the drive-thru window on the south side of the building. The request also included a
change to the hours of operation for Studio Joe to 7:00 am to 11:00 pm seven days per
week. The proposal included a building mounted sign entitled "Studio Joe" on the front
and rear walls and to add a Studio Joe name to the existing monument sign on Autumn
Road. There were no changes to the existing medical clinic and other conditions
contained in the existing approved PCD.
Ordinance No. 19,888 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on December 4,
2007, allowed a revision to Lot 2 of the development by allowing the addition of a
restaurant use with alcohol sales as an allowable use for Studio Joe's.
A. PROPOSAUREQUESTIAPPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The applicant is now proposing to amend the previously approved PCD for lot 1

western side of the building will be striped for addition parking. The existing
dumpsters located within this area will be screened per the typical standard of
Section 36-523.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:

and restaurant. Across Autumn Road is a large shopping center containing
Barns and Noble, Pets Smart and Toys R Us. There is also area east of the site
which is vacant and zoned 0-2. The area to the north is vacant R-2,
Single-family zoned property but is identified as office on the City's Future Land
Use Plan. The property to the west is a Planned Commercial Development with
a single building containing Best Buy and a second lease space which was
recently approved for Whole Foods. The Birchwood Subdivision is located north
of the site.

Planning Division: This request is located in the 1-430 Planning District. The
Land Use Plan shows Commercial (C) for this property. 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.

District) zoning to add the use of the site as a fitness center. The application is in
the Chenal Design Overlay District.
Master Street Plan: Chenal,Parkway is a Principal Arterial and Autumn Road is
a Collector on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve through
traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the
urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative
effects of traffic and pedestrians on Chenal Parkway. The primary function of a
Collector Street is to provide a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. These
streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class III Bike Route shown along Autumn Road. Bike
Routes require no additional right-of-way or pavement markings, but only a sign
to identify and direct the route.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (March 27, 2013)
David Schroeder was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the development stating there were a number of questions in need of
addressing prior to the Commission approving the request. Staff questioned the
days and hours of operation, the proposed use of the building and the proposed
signage plan. Staff also questioned the maximum height of the architectural
feature proposed for the building.
Public Works comments were addressed Staff stated any broken curb, gutter or
sidewalk damaged in the public right of way was to be repaired or replaced prior
to occupancy. Staff stated all necessary repairs to the existing detention facilities
would be required with the proposed redevelopment.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated all interior landscaping
was to be in good health` and/or' replaced with the redevelopment. Staff also
stated all screening fences were to be repaired or replaced prior to the issuance
of the certificate of occupancy. Staff stated the property to the north was zoned
residentially and would require screening as well as a land use buffer to comply
with code. Staff stated if the building rehabilitation cost exceeded fifty percent of
5
FILE NO.: Z -6278-E (Cont.
the replacement cost of the building upgrades in landscaping would be required
accordingly.
Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies
suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification.
There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
K ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised cover letter addressing staff's concerns raised
at the March 27, 2013, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has
indicated the facility is not a 24-hour facility but will operate from 5 am to 11 pm
seven days per week. The applicant has stated all deliveries will be received
between the hours of 6 am and 4 pm. The hours of dumpster service will be
limited to between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm daily. The applicant states
screening will be placed around the dumpsters as required by Section 36-523(d).
The applicant is seeking approval to rehab the existing commercial building on
Lot 1 to add a single use, health studio or spa, as an allowable use to the
property. The proposal includes minor modifications to the exterior of the
structure with the primary focus being interior renovations. The plan includes
striping of an area behind the building, which is currently paved, to provide
additional marked parking spaces. The plan includes 232 parking spaces, with
the new striped area. Based on the parking typically required for a personal
service establishment (1.0 space per 200 square feet of gross floor area)
216 spaces would typically be required.
The ground sign located on Chenal Parkway will be refaced to identify the new
business. The applicant states the sign location may be modified in the future.
The owners will work with staff to best locate the sign. The total height and area
will not exceed the standard established by the Financial Center/Chenal Parkway
Design Overlay District.
The building signage will also be modified to identify the new business. Building
signage will be placed on the front of the building, east fagade, and the south
fagade. Both sign locations have public street frontage. Each of the signs are
proposed 5 -feet high by 47 -feet in length for a total sign area of 235 square feet.
Modifications will be completed to the exterior of the building allowing a change
in elevation on the southern wall to assist in breaking the massing of the wall.
The maximum height of the elevation height off -set is 38 -feet. A new "crown"
entry feature will be added to the front of the building, the east side, over the
entrance. The architectural feature will have a maximum height of 40 -feet. The
canopy is proposed constructed of metal. Additional bump -outs, glass features
and color variations will be added to the front of the building to add visual interest
to the building.
n
FILE NO.: Z -6278-E Cont.
The applicant has indicated based on the current calculation of the site one
additional landscape island will be required to comply with the current landscape
ordinance requirements. The applicant has also indicated irrigation will be added
to the site to water landscaped areas.
Based on the "average" width of 323.5 -feet (the width of the front parking lot) the
required six percent (6%) buffer would be 19.41 -feet. The current buffer ranges
from 19.9 -feet to 20 -feet. There is a six foot (6) wooden screening fence located
on the north property line. The applicant states the fence will not be replaced but
rather repaired in areas where the fence was previously damaged.
The applicant is requesting to amend the previously approved Planned
Commercial Development to add a health studio or spa (fitness center) as an
allowable use. The applicant is not seeking any additional alternative uses. The
uses approved for this site would be a sporting goods store or a health studio or
spa.
Staff is supportive of the request. The applicant is not proposing the addition of
any additional paved surfaces to the site nor any significant additions to the
building which would increase the existing amount of impervious surface. The
applicant has indicated all on-site detention will be brought into compliance with
the current City code. Staff does not feel the addition of a health studio or spa as
an allowable alternative uses for this site will have an adverse impact on the
development or the area.
