BACKGROUND:
On August 5, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted ordinance No. 17,542 which
established The Village at Rahling Road PCD. The PCD established a multiple -lot
development with C-2 uses being permitted. The initial action established a site plan for
Lots 1 and 2 of the development with the intent being that each of the remaining lots
would be brought through the planned development process on an individual basis as a
particular development was proposed. Most of the lots have subsequently been
developed. There are some undeveloped lots remaining.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT
1�
The applicant is requesting approval of PCD zoning for this lot to allow for
development of the property with a one-story, 7,950 sq. ft. office building and
associated 41 space parking lot for CGI. The building is proposed to have a height
of 20'8" and will contain a reception lobby, conference rooms, private offices, an
attached garage, a large executive board room, catering kitchen, break room and
a 910 sq. ft. multipurpose room with future plans to add a 2nd 910 sq. ft.
multipurpose room. The facility will front Rahling Circle and will have a common
plaza between the sidewalk and front door for patrons to enjoy. The plaza will
contain sculptures and sitting areas surrounded by meditation landscape. The
dumpster is located at the rear of the site and will be enclosed by a CMU block
wall. The monument style ground mounted sign will have a maximum height of
6 ft. and a maximum area of 64 sq. ft., as per the approved PCD.

G. TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING:
Rock Reaion Metro: No comments
Planning Division: This request is located in Chenal 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. The applicant has
applied for revised PCD (Planned Commercial Development) to allow a new
office building.
Master Street Plan: West of the property is Rahling Circle and it is shown as a
Local Street on the Master Street Plan. Local Streets that are abutted by
non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered
as "Commercial Streets". A Collector design standard is used for Commercial
Streets. This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
Revised plat/plan: Submit responses to staff issues and four (4) copies of a
revised preliminary plat/plan (to include the additional information as noted
above) to staff on or before May 22, 2019. If you have any questions please
contact Dana Carney, dcarne little rock. g ov or 501.371.6817 or Jamie Collins,

H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (May 15, 2019)
The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted some additional
information was needed. Staff noted the cover letter submitted with the application
references "after hour's events that are held in the multi-purpose room." Staff
asked for a description of this use and the nature of the events. The applicant was
asked to provide a brief description of building exterior materials. The applicant
was advised to provide the area of building coverage, pavement coverage and
green space as a percentage of the overall site.

FILE NO.: Z -6323-Z Cont.
Staff noted a variance was needed to allow parking to back into the cross access
easement on the north. In response to a question from the committee, staff stated
the proposed number of parking spaces well exceeded the code requirement.
Public Works comments were presented and discussed. Staff noted the existing
stormwater inlet needed to be relocated to the side of the proposed driveway.
Landscape comments were presented.
Comments from the other departments and reviewing agencies were noted. The
applicant was advised to respond to staff issues by May 22, 2019. The committee
forwarded the item to the full commission.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted responses to the issues raised at subdivision committee.
The multipurpose room is intended to be used for office and staff meetings;
including occasional after-hours office meetings. The building exterior materials
are to be stone, metal panels, metal trim and membrane roof. Building coverage
is 12.5%, pavement coverage (including walkways and patio area) is 57.5% and
green space is 30%. The project has been submitted to the Chenal Architectural
review committee for initial design review.
The existing stomwater inlet as shown to be relocated and the sidewalk is shown.
A variance is requested to allow parking off of the service driveway -easement.
Since the driveway easement serves only two lots, neither of which are anticipated
to be high traffic generators, staff supports the variance request.
To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues.
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the PCD subject to compliance with the comments
and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F and the staff analysis in the
agenda staff report.
Staff recommends approval of a variance from Section 31-210 to allow the
proposed vehicle parking backing into the common access -service easement.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 6, 2019)
The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present. Staff presented
the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff recommendation"
above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda
and approved as recommended by staff, including all staff comments and conditions. The
