Re: PCD - Pettaway Business District Phase 3 – 405 E. 21st St., Little Rock, AR 72206
Dear Mr. Thrower:
The proposed Pettaway Business District Phase 3 PCD is a comprehensive and
innovative planned small scale urban infill in the Pettaway Neighborhood intended to
provide a diversified yet harmonious development that meets the goals and municipal
plan of the City of Little Rock. This proposed development provides an efficient and
economic arrangement of varied land use, buildings, circulation systems and facilities for
modern lifestyles. A detailed narrative of the intended usage of the site is as follows:
1. Parking Lot – All vehicular circulation will be within the one 22 bay parking lot on
the south end of the site which will be screened by the townhouses, landscaping
and micro commercial building.
2. Residential – Three two-story townhomes (a single-family, a duplex, and a
quadplex) are proposed on the south and east portions of the site to provide
housing for approximately seven families.
3. Mixed-Use Buildings – Three three-story buildings will front Rock and 21st Streets.
These buildings will be leased to small and local businesses for restaurants, retail
and commercial office space. Ground floor of the northwest structure will house
two restaurants with maximum capacity of 49 person occupancy each. Ground
floors of the other mixed-use buildings will be retail. Second and third stories will
office space. Hours of operation are intended to be 7 am – 8 pm Sunday through
Thursday and 7 am – 9 or 10 pm on Friday, Saturday and holidays. Staffing will
be established by the tenants based on usage.
4. Courtyard – The courtyard connects the residential and mixed-use buildings for
pedestrian circulation. No other use is intended for this or any other green space
area.
5. Commercial Buildings – A two-story commercial building is planned at the center
of the courtyard and a micro commercial building will be located on the
southwest corner of the site facing the street. These buildings will be leased to
small and local businesses for retail and commercial office space. Hours of
operation are intended to be 7 am – 8 pm Sunday through Thursday and 7 am –
9 or 10 pm on Friday, Saturday and holidays. Staffing will be established by the
tenants based on usage.
I hope the additional information provided addresses the City’s concerns. Please do not
hesitate to call if you should have any other questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
GarNat Engineering, LLC
