4A)
SECTION—. URBAN USE DISTRICT
(a) General Purpose and Intent. The Urban Use district established by this
chapter is designed to assure the continuation of development consistent with a
traditional urban form. The Urban Use district is designed to help create a
compact, dense, distinguishable core area. The district is established in order to
provide for an urban form allowing mid -rise and high rise structures. This District
is to provide for the office, civic and business core of the City. Structures within
the Urban Use district are encouraged to provide multiple uses within the same
structure. The ground or street level of structures should include street oriented
activity and pedestrian amenities. The resulting area is to be pedestrian `urban'
oriented.
(b) Application of Regulations. The regulations of this District shall apply to new
development, redevelopment, expansion of existing development or exterior
modifications. Routine repairs and maintenance shall not require compliance
with this section.
Except for construction of improvements in the public right of way required by the
City, and redevelopment or expansion of existing development, all uses,
structures or lots which existed on the effective date of this section which do not
conform to the standards and guidelines established in this section, shall be
treated as nonconforming according to the provisions of Article III of this chapter.
(c) Development Criteria.
(1) Any lighting shall be placed so as to reflect light away from adjacent
residential structures. No excessive or unusual noise, odor or vibration
shall be emitted so that it constitutes a nuisance, which substantially
exceeds that general level of noise, odor or vibration emitted by uses
adjacent to or immediately surrounding the site. Such comparisons shall
be made at the boundary of the site.
(2) All trash receptacles and pickup shall be oriented away from the street
side of the property and screened from the public right-of-way. Trash
receptacles shall be placed in alleys if alleys are available.
(3) No new drive-in or drive-through facilities may be visible from the public
right-of-way or take direct access from the street.

Sec. . R4 -A Low Density Residential
(a) Purpose and intent. The purpose of the R -4A District is to protect existing
developed residential neighborhoods. It is intended for single family use with
conversions to two family units or the addition of accessory residential units.
The R -4A district should be located in developed areas of the city where an
environment suitable for moderate -density residential (use) and in an established
medium -density residential areas where densification may facilitate their
continuation as desirable residential areas. Accessory uses, conditional uses
and home occupations are permitted as long as they do not have objectionable
characteristics and are not unduly concentrated in the area. These uses must
otherwise conform to the provisions of this chapter and be compatible with the
character of the neighborhood. The district is intended to be an urban low to
moderate -density residential area, where an occasional nonresidential use adds
to the overall character of the neighborhood.
(b) Use Regulations.
(1) Permitted uses. Permitted uses are single-family and two-family
residences.
(2) Other uses. Accessory, home occupation, temporary, special and
conditional uses allowed within the R -4A low-density residential district
shall be the same as those in the R-1, R-2, R-3 single-family districts.
In addition any by -right uses within the C-1 neighborhood commercial
district may be allowed as conditional uses in R -4A as specifically
approved by the Planning Commission. These uses must follow the
development criteria listed under C-1 neighborhood commercial and
have a traditional design consistent with the neighborhood.
(3) Within the area bounded by Capitol Avenue on the north, 9th street on
the south, 1-30 on the east, and Cumberland Street on the west, in
addition to the above uses multi -family use, as defined by R-5 urban
residential district shall be a permitted use.
(c) Height regulations. No building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall
exceed a height of thirty-five (35) feet.
DRAFT
rM
(d) Area regulations.
(1) Front yard. There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less
than twenty-five (25) feet. If there is an adjacent structure which is closer
than 25 feet, then the new structure may be built using the line of the pre-
existing structure. In no case may a structure be built in the right-of-way.
(2) Side yard. There shall be a side yard on each side of the building having
a width of not less than ten (10) percent of the average width of the lot,
not to exceed five (5) feet.
(3) Rear yard. There shall be a rear yard having a depth of not less than
twenty-five (25) feet.
(4) Lot area regulations. There shall be a lot area of not less than five
thousand (5,000) square feet. In addition, there shall be a lot width of not

Land Use Plan:
1) Add new Land Use Definition:
Mixed Use -- Urban: This category provides for a mix of residential, office and
commercial uses not only in the same block but within the same structure. This
category is intended for older `urban' areas to allow dissimilar uses to exist which
support each other to create a vital area. Development should reinforce the
urban fabric creating a 24-hour activity area. Using the Planed Zoning District or
the Urban Use District, high and moderate density developments that result in a
vital (dense) pedestrian oriented area are appropriate.
2) Change Land Use Plan Map to new category and LDR (east of Cross)
3) Replace the Land Use Plan Text for Planning District 5
Replace Text under `Development Principals' with:
Downtown should become a place where people want to live and visit and
should have a lasting and recognizable image, distinguishable from all other
nearby environments.
Because it is the State capital and proud symbol of a metropolitan area,
Downtown Little Rock has many opportunities. Downtown should be the
financial, office and governmental center of the region and as such should be
planned as a place where people live, visit and work in a safe, vibrant,
pedestrian -friendly environment.
The built environment should encourage a sense of community and safety
among residents and visitors. Downtown should be planned to become a place
of 24-hour activity. These general planning goals should be reinforced by such
urban design and planning interventions as the following:
• Specify land uses for entertainment and residential use
• Preserve and reuse existing buildings
■ Capitalize on the Presidential Library as an economic development tool
• Provide an effective transportation plan with a variety of modes
• Provide landscaping throughout the area
• Utilize the Presidential Library as a regional educational resource center

Develop streetscaping plans designed for specific needs in designated areas
• Develop a means to encourage property owners to reinvest in Downtown
Work with Federal, State and County governments to ensure the success of
the vision
• Specify land uses that will encourage the development of a niche for retail
activities
■ Encourage a built form of quality architectural styles that evoke character
• Preserve civic and historic heritage
Recognize the riverfront as a key urban activity generator
Objective: The Downtown urban form should be protected by, requiring
structures be built to the street with street level activity and visual connection
between the street and interior.
Action Statement: Modify the development standards to encourage higher
density development and zero lot line construction. Modify parking regulations
(number of spaces, screening, etc.)
Special design studies should be undertaken and regulations implemented for
streets and corridors of community -wide importance.
Objective: To support an urban land use form, a fixed transit system is needed.
An investment must be made in a fixed transit system for Downtown that
effectively connects the different parts of Downtown and moves people within
that area.
Action Statement: Build a transit infrastructure — fixed routes to serve the
Downtown and immediate vicinity.
Objective: Residential use is essential for a n active and successful Downtown.
Because the Downtown residential area has lost most of its residential units, the
City of Little Rock must invest in downtown housing to assist in reviving the area
thereby creating housing opportunities for high as well as moderate -income
levels.
Action Statement: Create development and use incentives for owner occupied,
market rate rental, and affordable rental residential developments in Downtown.
Objective: Downtown must be actively marketed. In most cities a quasi -public
agency does this work. The City must establish 9with Downtown property
owners) an agency to advance the economic development of Downtown.
Action Statement: Develop a quasi -public downtown development agency to
market and assist with the implementation of projects.
Objective: In order to achieve an active Downtown, developments should be
mixed use and linked.

DRAFT
Action Statement: Using the Framework for the Future document as a reference,
establish consensus among quasi -public, City, County, and State entities
regarding the vision of Downtown. Implement strategies conducive to the
objectives of the established vision. Assist only developments that conform to
the Framework guidelines.
Replace Text under `Land Use' with:
Residential:
The blocks, north and west of MacArthur Park, in the southeast corner of the
District are designated as Low Density Residential (LDR). Within this area, north
of Ninth Street is predominately Multifamily with some Single Family; while south
of Ninth Street is predominately Single Family with some Multifamily.
Mixed Use:
The majority of the district is designated for Mixed Use Urban. The uses range
from high-rise office buildings to single family homes. The intent is to create a
vital diverse area, which is pedestrian -friendly.
Parks and Open Space:
Riverfront Park runs along the Arkansas River along the northeast portion of the
district boundary. MacArthur Park, the City's first municipal park established in
1892 is in the southeast corner of the district.
Public/Institutional:
The State Capitol and related buildings are designated as Public Use, in the
western end of the district.

Dear Mr. Malone:
The Little Rock Housing Authority is pleased to support the proposed changes to the
zoning Plan for Central Little Rock Zoning Urban Renewal Project, originally established
by the Housing Authority.
Thank you for including us in the notification process and if we can be of assistance
please let us know.

Subject: New Downtown Zoning
Was just looking over the proposed new zones and was struck by how odd it is to propose zoning
the most urban downtown neighborhood we have Low Density Residential (or at least call it that).
The discussion on page 6 talks about R4A zoning in "...medium -density residential areas where
densification may facilitate their continuation as desirable residential areas." So we are zoing
these medium -density areas which we may want to densify as Low Density Residential? Just
doesn't seem logical to me. Maybe the key is to think of it as an URBAN low density area. That
makes some sense, because it IS low-density within a national URBAN context. What about
inserting urban in the name?
Just letting you know that I do pay attention sometimes.

Dear Property Owner:
J
This letter is to update you on the progress toward new zoning classifications for the
Downtown area. As you know, hopefully, the City has reviewed the downtown zoning
for about two years. A draft of the new zoning classifications and map indicating
locations are enclosed for your convenience.
The new district (Urban Use) allows Residential, Office and Commercial use by -right but
industrial (I-2) use as a conditional use (C.U.P.). If you have such use and if you will
provide us with a legal description and letter requesting the C.U.P. (including the current
use), then we will include the C.U.P. change at no cost to you.
The second new district (Low Density Residential) allows for multifamily to single
family north of 9th Street and Duplex to Single Family south of 9th Street with "C -F'
(Neighborhood Commercial), use as a conditional use. If you have such use and if you
will provide us with a legal description and letter requesting the C.U.P. (including the
current use), then we will include the C.U.P. change at no cost to you.
The Planning Commission at their regular meeting will discuss this rezoning item on
Thursday, September 2, 1999 in the Board Chambers of City Hall (500 West Markham).
The hearing starts at 4:00 p.m. (NOTE: This item will most likely not be heard at the
beginning of the meeting.) We request that you have all requests for a C.U.P. into our
office (Downtown Zoning, 723 West Markham, Little Rock, AR 72201) by no later than
Friday, August 20, 1999.
If you have any questions, please contact Walter Malone at 371-6819. You are invited to
attend the public hearing on Thursday, September 2, 1999.
Sincerely,
�f

MEMORANDUM
WALTER MALONE, PLANNING MANAGER
CHANDRA L. WALLAR, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
NEW ZONING & MSP
AUGUST 20, 1999
Public Works staff reviewed the new Zoning and MSP Ordinance changes. The following
comments are offered:
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (2), What if no alley or alley is unsafe?
Where do they put waste? last sentence — ...receptacles shall be placed adjacent to alleys...
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (3) — No new drive-in or drive-through
facilities may be visible from the public right-of-way or take direct access from the street.
Where are they to take access? How will this impact banks?
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (5), b., second sentence --trees shall be
located a minimum of 2'0"... What type of trees are permitted? Also, tree height and line -
of sight problems at intersections and other curb cuts be specified.
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (6), a. — Verbiage to describe sidewalk
configuration is most confusing. What is meant by ... minimum 7 foot horizontal
clearance at a height of 4 feet from the ground? If sidewalk is constructed with a 2' green
space (assuming the 2' exclusion is intended for landscaping) between curb and sidewalk
and a 5' concrete walk, it appears 7' horizontal clearance is satisfied no matter what
height from the ground.
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (6), b. — Word shall needs to be changed
to may to indicate sidewalk displays may be allowed. Section 30-6 of the Streets and
Sidewalks ordinance specifies a `permit from the City Manager" is required for sidewalk
displays. Is there any control on type and content of display that will be allowed? To
ensure adequate space for pedestrian, fire lanes and access by physically impaired, why
not require a minimum 5' walkway be maintained.
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (9), b. and c. — The maximum projection
of Awnings and Balconies be qualified with a minimum "distance to the curb to protect
from conflicts with vehicles."
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (10), Lack of Parking is currently a big
concern in this area. How can we solve this problem? To not require off-street parking
"We're Proud Of Our Work(s)!"
appears to exasperate the problem a., second paragraph — ... structure may add one sto in
height. What is the maximum number of stories for parking structures?
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (10), b., first paragraph — ... adjacent to a
structure, never in the front yard... Front yard is very ambiguous. Possible should be
changed to "never between the building and an abutting street". What happens when
property fronts 2 or 3 streets?
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (c), (10), b., second paragraph — A procedure
needs to be in place to keep track of changes in commercial surface parking lots
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (e). — If largest permitted building is 5 stories
plus 1 bonus floor for mass transit. What bonus scenario would allow up to 10 stories
(150')?
➢ SECTION URBAN USE DISTRICT, (f), (1) — What about adjacent structures
having different build to lines? Is an average used?
➢ SECTION . URBAN USE DISTRICT, (f), (3), last sentence — ...set back of not less
than four L41 feet. This seems to conflict with Section V that requires six (6) feet
minimum. In addition, radial dedications and corner set backs at intersections need to be
considered for such things as ADA requirements and traffic signal poles.
➢ SECTION R4 -A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, (a) —...home occupations are permitted
as long as they do not have objectionable characteristics and are not unduly concentrated...
What is unduly? 10%, 20% per block?
➢ SECTION R4 -A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, (b), (3) —Insert comma for
clarification. ...in addition to the above uses multi -family use, as defined by R-5 urban
residential district; shall be a ...
➢ SECTION R4 -A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, (d), (2) and (4) — This is confusing, if
you cannot have a lot less than 50 feet wide and you must have a side yard of not less than
10% with a maximum of 5 feet, then the tied side yard is 5' under all conditions. Why
not just say it?
OTHER ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS: MASTER STREET PLAN: -These
amendments will be introduced as part of an overall MSP modification. Anticipate
completion October 1999.
... radii shall be reduced to that for Collectors (25 feet).
If you have questions or require further information, please call.

S JE DOWNTOWN ZONING PLAN
DATE: AUGUST 9, 1999
Please find attached the following information: a letter, outline of changes and new
zoning map being mailed to downtown property owners. This is a major step toward the
implementation of the downtown .Framework for the Future and additional work by a
downtown zoning committee. Two new districts, Urban Use (UU) and Low Density
Residential (R -4A), are being proposed and this change would make land use a minor or
non -issue downtown.
In the Urban Use district design is important with pedestrian friendly and more `urban'
structural forms required or encouraged. In the front there would be a build -to -line;
ground level activity in structures is encouraged (required windows/displays and
encouraged direct access); and parking/delivery, etc. is to be behind or on the side of
structures. Parking structures are encouraged, but there is no parking required. No net
increase in the amount of surface commercial parking lots is allowed and no new drive-
through/drive-in facilities may be visible from the street. There are height bonus and
some signage bonuses.
As was suggested by the Framework for the Future committee the new zoning crosses I-
30 and includes the Presidential Library area. The Urban Use district is proposed for this
area. Most of the area to the south of the site has the zone district described above. The
MacArthur Park area would generally be zoned `R -4A' a district residential district,
which allows some quiet businesses as conditional uses. The two city parks, MacArthur
and Riverfront, would be zoning `OS', which is appropriate for parks.
This has been presented to the Plans Committee of the Little Rock Planning Commission.
On September 2 the full Commission will discuss the proposals and be asked to reclassify
the downtown area. If you have any questions or need additional information, please
call.

Dear Property Owner:
This letter is to update you on the progress toward new zoning classifications for the
Downtown area. As you know, hopefully, the City has reviewed the downtown zoning
for about two years. A draft of the new zoning classifications and map indicating
locations are enclosed for your convenience.
The new district (Urban Use) allows Residential, Office and Commercial use by -right but
industrial (I-2) use as a conditional use (C.U.P.). If you have such use and if you will
provide us with a legal description and letter requesting the C.U.P. (including the current
use), then we will include the C.U.P. change at no cost to you.
The second new district (Lew Density Residential) allows for multifamily to single
family north of 9h Street and Duplex to Single Family south of 91h Street with "C-1
(Neighborhood Commercial), use as a conditional use. If you have such use and if you
will provide us with a legal description and letter requesting the C.U.P. (including the
current use), then we will include the C.U.P. change at no cost to you.
The Planning Commission at their regular meeting will discuss this rezoning item on
Thursday, September 2, 1999 in the Board Chambers of City Hall (500 West Markham).
The hearing starts at 4:00 p.m. (NOTE: This item will most likely not be heard at the
beginning of the meeting.) We request that you have all requests for a C.U.P. into our
office (Downtown Zoning, 723 West Markham, Little Rock, AR 72201) by no later than
Friday, August 20, 1999.
If you have any questions, please contact Walter Malone at 371-681.9. You are invited to
attend the public hearing on Thursday, September 2, 1999.
Sincerely,
I

If the parking structure includes the alternative uses at the time of
initial construction, then the related structure may add one story in
height. In addition, the maximum area devoted to signage on the
first story may be doubled if the alternative uses are in place at initial
construction.
b. Parking lots. Surface parking is to be located behind or adjacent to
a structure, never between the building and abutting street.

otherwise, permitted signs shall be as in Section 36-553 "Signs
permitted in institutional and office zones" of the Zoning Ordinance.
(d) Use Regulations
(1) Permitted Uses. Uses permitted shall include all those allowed in the
Residential Districts, Office Districts and Commercial Districts as
`permitted uses', in Chapter 36. Except that, all uses must be inside or
enclosed. Within the front setback where an integral accessory use is

(e) Height regulations. No building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall
exceed a height of three (3) stories or 45 feet, whichever is less. Developments
which provide a minimum 20 percent of the gross floor area for residential uses
are entitled to a maximum height of five (5) stories or 75 feet, whichever is less.
Any structure which is certified by CATA (Central Arkansas Transit Authority) as
providing a portion of the structure for mass transit (such as a bus stop, etc.), is
entitled to one bonus floor. All building height bonuses are cumulative not to
exceed ten (10) stories or 150 feet.
In the area bounded by Markham Street on the north, U4 9h street on the south,
Scott Street on the east, and Broadway Street on the west, building height shall
be controlled by the Adams Field Airport Zoning Ordinance (section 7-57, height
limitations in the Little Rock Code of Ordinances).

(1) Front yard. Five foot build to line. If there is an adjacent structure, which
is closer than five feet, then the new structure may be built using the line
of the pre-existing structure. (In no case may a structure be built in the
right-of-way.) A development with an integral accessory use may
increase the setback (build -to line) to 20 feet.
Along Capitol Avenue, west of Broadway Street and east of Scott Street,

Sec. . R4 -A Low Density Residential
(a) Purpose and intent. The purpose of the R -4A District is to protect existing
developed residential neighborhoods. It is intended for single family use with
conversions to two family units or the addition of accessory residential units.
The R -4A district should be located in developed areas of the city where an
environment suitable for moderate -density residential (use) and in an established
medium -density residential areas where densification may facilitate their
continuation as desirable residential areas. Accessory uses, conditional uses
and home occupations are permitted as long as they do not have objectionable
ro n^+ , rnAi
characteristics and
n nutuid i�.r n .nnon+r�i+oma .n ++,d orori and provided further
that they otherwise conform to the provisions of this chapter. The district is
intended to be an urban low to moderate -density residential area, where an
occasional nonresidential use adds to the overall character of the neighborhood.
(b) Use Regulations.
(1) Permitted uses. Permitted uses are single-family and two-family
residences.
(2) Other uses. Accessory, home occupation, temporary, special and
conditional uses allowed within the R -4A low-density residential district
shall be the same as those in the R-1, R-2, R-3 single-family districts.
In addition any by -right uses within the C-1 neighborhood commercial
district may be allowed as conditional uses in R -4A as specifically
approved by the Planning Commission. These uses must follow the
development criteria listed under C-1 neighborhood commercial and
have a traditional design consistent with the neighborhood.
(3) Within the area bounded by Capitol Avenue on the north, 9th street on
the south, 1-30 on the east, and Cumberland Street on the west, in
addition to the above uses, multi -family use, as defined by R-5 urban
residential district, shall be a permitted use.
(c) Height regulations. No building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall
exceed a height of thirty-five (35) feet.
(d) Area regulations.
(1) Front yard. There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less
than twer4).-f, fifteen (10 feet. If there is an adjacent structure,
which is closer than 26 15 feet, then the new structure may be built using
the line of the pre-existing structure. In no case may a structure be built
in the right-of-way.

height restrictions --downtown zoning
Tony,
I suspect you guys are already devising a strategy on how to address Moses'
concern about height restrictions --and its affect on his upcoming
redevelopments-- in the proposed downtown zoning ordinance. [From the tenor
of his letter, you would think that there was absolutely nothing good or
positive about the entire proposed zoning plan. Of course, that's nothing
new when someone is galvanized over a particular issue ... I want to be sure
that the general direction and benefits of the proposed ordinance is not
lost on the Board or developers as this issue works its way up --if it
does..]
Since I was involved in the committee work on the proposal, I do want to be
involved in any discussions/meetings regarding his concerns or changes to
the proposed ordinance. I don't know if Walter is going to convene the
entire original committee to work through this issue....but whatever
alternatives we consider, someone from the committee representing the
downtown resident and merchant perspective should be made aware of
discussions that may result in changes to the height restrictions. I want
to be sure we run the necessary political traps on this one so we and the
process are not accused of being fraudelent (where have I heard that
ane --I'd hate to see Kathy Wells come after Waiter with an umbrella or,
worse yet, an ax) and that the entire proposal and some reasonable semblance
of height restrictions does not get strangled and whipsawed politically at
the 11th hour.
Please advise/

Commission
votes revamp,,,
of zoning
downtown
BY ERICA V,[ERNER
AM-04SAS 1DMat0CR.1J-GAZETTE
Downtown Little Rock will see
its "mast significant zoning change
ever," Planning Director aw-
son said, if new rules approved
by
the Planning Commission on
ThursdaY take effect.
The commissioners voted to com-
pletely
ompletely rezone downtown, replacing j
a mishmash of zoning classifications
dating from the 1960s with one uni-
form set of rules. The new classifica-
tion
lassifies
tion,
help downtown Little Rock attain a
mixed-use, urban feel like the vi-
brant atmosphere in cities like Chat-
tanooga,
hattanooga, Tenn.,, and Portland, Ore.
The commEssroners' vote is a
reconimendation to the city board,
which will likely the matter

next month. As the plan stands, the
rules wouldn't take effect until six
months after approval by the city
board to allow time for developers
to make the necessary adjustments.
The area affected stretches from
the Arkansas River on the north to In-
terstate 630 on the south and from
Cross Street on the west to a few
blocks past Interstate 30 on the east.
The comprehensive new rules, in the
works for years, range from mandat-
ing that all buildings start 5 feet from
the street to requiring that one-third
of the groTmd-floor wall space on com-
mercial buildings be made of glass.
"It creates a district especially
designed for downtown," Lawson
said, "and we never had that."
The commissioners voted 10-0,
with commissioner Rohn Muse ab-
sent, to approve the new zoning
rules and also voted 10-0 to approve
a new land -use plan encompassing
downtown west to the state Capitol.
A land -use plan is a vision for how
an area should look, while zoning
rules are the laws that mandate how
and where buildings can be built.
The Planning Commission does
not have the authority to zone from
Cross Street past the state Capitol
because that area is the purview of
the Capitol District Zoning Commis-
sion, the state agency that controls
development around the Capitol
and the Governor's Mansion.
The new zoning rules aim to ex-
tend some of the charming charac-
teristics of the River Market District

throughout downtown, and city offi-
cials want the new rules in place to
facilitate a range of efforts focused
on bringing morning -to -night activi-
ties and residential living downtown.
On Tuesday, the city board will
vote on a resolution of support for a
package of four initiatives: Downtown
Little Rock -Framework for the Fu-
ture; the Downtown Corridors Plan;
the Six Bridges Framework Plan; and
the Capitol Zoning District's Capitol
Area Framework Master Plan.
Despite their different focuses, the
plans all support pedestrian -friendly,
mixed-use environments where the
different pursuits of work, play and
home can co -exist in harmony.
Provisions of the proposed "ur-
ban use" zone, a classification not
found elsewhere in the city, include:
■ Mandating that buildings face
the street and have their entrances
at street level on the sidewalk.
Buildings would also be required to
be built five feet from the street.
Current regulations vary. In the in-
dustrial zone west of Broadway,
buildings must be set back at least
35 feet from the street. East of
Broadway buildings can be built
right on the street.
■ Requiring that 35 percent of the
street -facing, ground -level walls of
commercial structures be glass, ei-
ther windows or display cases.
■ Placing stiffer restrictions on
where drive-in and drive-through
facilities can be built.
■ New parking rules, Under the
proposed rules, off-street parking
would not be required. Businesses
west of Broadway are currently re-
quired to have some parking.
Under the proposed rules, business-
es would not be allowed to have
parking lots in front. The lots would
need to be on the side or in back.
■ Mandating that new buildings
have trees outside.

town. But under the new rules, de-
velopers could build taller build-
ings outside the skyscraper area if
they give something in exchange:
0 Developers who pledge to de-
vote 20 percent of their buildings
floor area to residential use would
get two extra stories.
>a Developers who provide part of
their building for a mass -transit
use. such as a bus stop, would get
one extra story.
0 Developers who devote 50 per-
cent
ericent of their ground -floor space to
retail or office space directly ac-
cessible from the street would get
to add 2 square feet of floor space
to their building for every square
foot of space used for retail or
street -accessible office space.
0 Developers of a building with a
parking deck would get to add an
extra story to their building if the
parkiretail spdeck is ace il
ace on hegrour
ground levelth office .
"For Little Rock, this is the first
attempt to tryto use incentives in-
stead of using the traditional
method of saying. 'You've got to do
it, " said Planning Manager Waiter
Malone. Incentives have been suc-
cessful in other cities, he said.
The regulations would take ef-
fect
ffeet six months after approval by
the city board and would not apply
to existing or already approved
structures.
They would go hand in hand
with the package of four down-
town -vision plans the city board
discussed Tuesday night: Down-
town Little Rock -Framework for
the Future; the Downtown Corri-
dors Plan; the Six Bridges Frame-
work Plan; and the Capitol Area
Framework Master Plan. The four
plang...focus on different areas of
downtown with the goal of creat-
ing pedestrian -friendly develop-
ment.
The area affected by the new
zoning stretches from the Arkan-
sas River on the north to Inter-
state 630 on the south and from
Cross Street on the west to a few
blocks past Interstate 30 on the
east.
The skyscraper area is a rec-
tangle from Second Street on the
north to Ninth Street on the south
and from Broadway on the west to
Scott Street on the east, with a
extension west to Caines Stree
between Fourth and Sixth streets
Besides the height incentives
the '`urban use" classification in
cicides a host of new regulations
They include a mandate that all
buildings start five feet from the
right of way and a requirement
that one-third of the ground -floor
wall' space on commercial build-
ings be made of glass. roved
Even if the rules are app
by the city board, developers
could get around them by applying
for a variance from the Board of
Adjustment, which annually
grants some 100 exceptions to city
zoning regulations, including the
one based on the FAA require-
ment,
Many existing downtown build-
ings were built with variances, in-
cluding the 40 -story 'TCBY tower
and the 3o -story Regions Bank
building across the street. The de-
velopers of the Acxiom building
planned for Third and Sherman
streets got a variance from exist-
ing zoning rules to build up to 17
stories and would not be affected
by the new rules, since the plans
are already approved.
By imposing a height limit of 45
feet throughout most of thedown-
townarea, with buildings al
to be three times that tall if incen-
tives are taken, city planners say
they are offering developers more
flexibility in some parts of down-
town than current zoning regula-
tions do.
some areas east of Interstate 30
n are now zoned industrial, a classi-
fication which allows heights up to
50 feet. But because of the limited
uses allowed in industrial zones
those fro feet would mostly be used
by smokestacks, and, moreover,
most of downtown's industrial
area is now reserved for the Clin-
ton presidential library.
In most other parts of down-
town, buildings are not now al-
lowed
llowed to be over 45 feet tall.
The area of downtown west of
Broadway is zoned mostly light in-
dustrial and commercial. The
height limit in light industrial is 45
feet and the limit in commercial is
35 feet.
Most buildings in what would
become the skyscraper district
are allowed a "floor area ratio" of
15, in
developers are at -
lowed 15 square feet of floor
space in their building for every 1
square foot of land their building
sits on.
That means that if a developer
owned 5 square feet of land and
wanted to cover all of it with a
building, the building could be 15
stories tall, with each story having
5 square feet of floor space. if a
developer owned 5 square feet of
land and wanted to build on only
1 square foot of it, his building
could be 75 stories high, with
each story having 1 square foot of
floorspace.
part of the area just west of In-
terstate 34 is zoned high-density
residential, and a "floor area ra-
tio" of 2.3 is allowed. other parts
are zoned general business, with a
"floor area ratio" of 5. Just east
Interstate 34 is an area of two-fam-
ily zoning, where buildings are al
lowed to be 35 feet tall.
The new would preserve the residential
area around MacArthur Park by
creating another new zoning clas-
sification for it, "low-density resi-
dential."
&'Low-density residential" is dif-
ferent from residential zoning
classifications in other parts of the
city because it allows small com-
mercial and multifamily develop-
ments as conditional uses. That
means developers wanting to es-
tablish a small commercial enter-
prise or a multifamily develop-
ment could get a conditional -use
permit from the Planning Commis"
sion rather than having to go, be-
fore the city board to get the prop-
erty rezoned.
Under the new rules,
MacArthur' Park and Riverfiront
Park would be classified "open
space," as opposed to "public in-
dustrial," the classification now in
place. The "open space" classifi-
cation is more restrictive to en-
sure that the areas are preserved
as parks.
under the new rules, buildings
in the "urban use" areas would all'
be required to start five feet back
from the right of way. Currently
buildings in the light industrial
area west of Broadway have a
front setback of 50 feet, while most
buildings east of Broadway do not
have to be set back at all from the
right-of-way. The new zoning regu-
lations were developed over the
past year by a committee made up
of three planning commissioners,
three property owners and three
lations
representatives of downtown asso-
1 ciations.

■ Continued from Page to
thus far in soliciting property own-
ers' input.
Department officials hope the
zoning changes will be on the
agenda at the Oct. 19 Board of Di-
rectors meeting. As the plan
stands, the new rules would take
effect six months after the board's
approval, with ro edstructures
and al-
redy approved not af-
fected.
- The proposed rules would ere -
'ate a new zoning classification,
"urban use," for the area from the
Arkansas River on the north to In-
terstate 630 on the south and from
Cross Street on the west to a few
blocks past Interstate 30 on the
east.
Buildings in the "urban use
zone would be limited to 45 feet
tall, or three stories, except for in
a central skyscraper district,
where buildings could rise to
about 200 feet, or 15 stories.
Developers could build taller
buildings outside the skyscraper
zone by taking advantage of incen
tives, a new approach by the Plan
ning Department to encourage res-
idential
es
idential and retail space by allow
ing developers who snake room fo
such uses to have extra stories o
their buildings• Neigh
Besides the proposed
rules, the "urban use" classifie
tion includes a host of new regal
tions, including a mandate that a
buildings start 5 feet from the ri
of way and a requirement th
one-third of the ground -floor wa
space on commercial buildings
made of glass•
The proposed skyscraper di
trict would be a rectangle fro
.Second Street on the north
Ninth Street on the south a
from Broadway on the west
Scott Street on the east, with
extension west to Gaines Str
between Fourth and Sixth stree
Now, the area where skyscr
ers can be built stretches to Riv
front Park, rather than stopping
Second Street.
The area between Eig
Street, the southern border of
current skyscraper district, and
terstate 634 is now zoned "general
business." So is the northern part
of the area between Scott Street,
the current skyscraper district's
eastern border, and Interstate 30.
Buildings in those areas can
now go up to five stories, but un-
der the proposed plan they'd be
limited to three. So under the pro-
posed plan the skyscraper area
would shrink somewhat, and
height restrictions in two border-
ing areas would be more limiting.
"We're generally not in favor of
height restrictions in that area, or
not in favor of that restrictive of a
height requirement;' said Bob
East of East -Harding Inc. construc-
tion, speaking as president of
Downtown Partnership, a business
development group. "Dux problem
is we have not reviewed it in depth
and we need to." Tans are

process conducted because of a
recommendation during Future -
Little Rock, the city's early '90s
goals -setting project.

agenda oct.19, and the board will

Comments:
Thanks for your fax transmittal of September 23, regarding the designation of
"primary streets" in the new downtown zoning ordinance. I recommend that the
following streets be considered primary:
Main Street
Capitol Avenue
Chester Street
State Street
Broadway
Spring Street
Center Street
Louisiana Street
Main Street
Scott Street
Commerce Street north of 3"' Street
Since Markham and Capitol Avenue can intersect with the other primary streets,
raising the issue of precedence, I recommend that Capitol Avenue always take
precedence and that Markham Street east of Broadway always take precedence.
When another primary street intersects with Markham west of Broadway, I
recommend allowing the developer to designate which of the two streets shall be
considered primary.

Little Rock, AR 72201
Dear Mr. Earnest and Members of the Commission,
The Downtown Neighborhood Association is pleased at the rezoning on today's agenda to revitalize our
Central Business District, and we urge unanimous adoption.
Downtown Little Rock needs residents, and we need an end to I1 and C4 commercial zoning that forbids
residential living.
We support all the changes intended to promote residential living, and to encourage pedestrian activity
rather than continue to give automobiles dominance.
Especially important are the provisions to promote street -access retail and service enterprises, and the
provisions that would prevent a full block of blank, dead space, whether from a parking deck or an office
complex. Our policy points were affirmed just this week by leading experts in revitalization, who spoke
at the "Destination Downtown" conference hosted by Main Street Arkansas.
James Kunstler, author of Home from Nowhere: the Design and Assembly of Places Worth Living In,
was scalding in his criticism of a block of blank wall. David Glasser of the University of Arkansas at
Fayetteville added a list of cities that require street -access shops in parking decks:
Charleston, South Carolina
Baltimore, Maryland
San JJe, California
Annapolis, Maryland
Professor Glasser confirmed that mixed use structures were essential for revitalizing a central business
district, enabling persons to five downtown, above stores and offices. Major civic features, such as a
plaza, are essential, he told us. He also asserted that parking lots or decks on Main Street were a major
sign of trouble that should be remedied. He also urged greater use of rooftops. Does our policy
encourage and allow that usage?
Yours Truly, / /

Dear Mr. Malone:
Enclosed is a response from the League of Women Voters of Pulaski County to the proposed
zoning ordinance affecting the downtown area of Little Rock. At the request of Ruth Bell, I am
submitting it on behalf of the League since I have served on three successive committees
concerned with this work.
Please feel free to contact me at 682-5303 should you have questions.
Sincerely,
Barbara Patty
LWVPC Representative
MacArthur Park Planning Area and
Downtown Steering Committee
Downtown Little Rock: Framework for the Future
Comment on Proposed Zoning Ordinance Changes
Pulaski County League of Women Voters
A representative from the League of Women Voters of Pulaski County has served on three
successive downtown planning committees beginning with the MacArthur Park Planning Area.
There are principles which have emerged in discussions of the various groups. These principles
include enhancement of the urban setting; creation of a sense of wholeness and unity in
downtown; pedestrian friendliness; and appropriate settings for parking.
The ways in which the proposed zoning ordinance changes for downtown development address
such principles are critical. The sections related to facades, setbacks, landscaping, lighting, and
related issues allow our urban setting to be enhanced or further destroyed. These elements also
serve to create a sense of wholeness and unity or a sense of fragmentation and disharmony.
Compromises have been made relative to building materials, transparent surface space,
landscaping, projections, and placement of trash receptacles and drive-in facilities. However,
these elements can still work together to create a cohesive environment if the proposed ordinance
is not weakened further.
A major employer has recently committed to a downtown development, with generous
incentives provided by the Little Rock Board of Directors. It concerns the League that aspects of
the property development will not meet the requirements of this ordinance even though the draft
document was in place at the time the plan was announced.
These same elements work to create a friendly atmosphere for pedestrians or to discourage
pedestrian traffic. Drive-in facilities and trash receptacles have the potential to create an
unfriendly and inhospitable atmosphere. The Commission should look carefully at the proposed
changes to determine their effect on both pedestrians and the cohesiveness of the area. What is
the potential impact of the changes proposed in Urban Use District (c)(2-3)?
Another critical element is the amount of space allocated to surface parking. This has been the
object of much debate in connection with the space itself as well as the appropriate landscaping
treatment. Surface parking lots dominate a portion of our downtown property. They are often
poorly maintained and poorly landscaped, if at all. Passing lots of rusting poles and chains,
broken asphalt, and weedy cracks detracts from all that is positive about the urban setting in
Little Rock.
The League does not support additional space devoted to surface parking and urges the Planning
Commission to resist any pressures to approve new lots in the future. It further urges the
Commission to discuss ways in which incentives may be offered to build parking structures with
retail space on the ground level to reduce existing surface parking. Little Rock once had a large
number of parking structures rather than the vast space now devoted to surface parking. It is a
good idea whose time has come once again. To the extent that surface parking remains a fixture
in our downtown area, the Commission should insist on landscaping as an essential element in
creating an environment that is friendly to pedestrians and has a sense of wholeness and unity.
The Arkansas Democrat -Gazette reported the remarks of James Kunstler only this week, as he
addressed a Main Street Arkansas conference. He cited "a terrible, pernicious, cumulative
process we're involved in" to create "too many environments in America that are not worth
caring about." Little Rock has the opportunity to create a downtown environment that is worth
caring about, with the resurrection of East Markham Street pointing the way. This zoning
ordinance is a step in that process, but the Pulaski County League of Women Voters urges you
not to weaken it further. Compromises have been struck and should be debated; further
compromise will negate the principles cited in the first paragraph and perhaps give us yet another
environment "not worth caring about."
Finally, the League supports precepts which reflect the New Urbanism. These were included in a
statement submitted to the Planning Department in March of this year. These precepts point to
downtown as a place which...
♦ allows people to communicate
♦ provides a sense of place
♦ offers a sense of community
♦ plans for buildings to be the fabric of the community
♦ identifies public spaces which complement and extend the fabric of buildings and
monuments
♦ establishes guidelines through which architects work
♦ recognizes that best projects are not necessarily spectacular. The best projects are those
woven into the fabric of a city, sometimes invisible because they blend so well and
always contribute to the wholeness and enhancement of a place.
These are overarching ideas against which the larger scheme for downtown and the details of that
scheme, some contained in this ordinance, may be measured. We should never lose sight of our
larger vision.

As a concerned citizen and active member of the real estate brokerage and development community, and
as an owner of a company which currently and regularly acts as representative and authorized agent for
owners of real property in the area to be affected by the above -referenced zoning district, I have
reviewed the draft language for the proposed Urban Use District and have a few suggestions or concerns
that I would like to see addressed. Since the Commission is scheduled to address this proposed district at
today's meeting, and since we have not yet discussed any of these suggestions or concerns in detail with
you, I am hopeful that this matter will be deferred until the September 16 meeting of the Planning
Commission.
As a brief overview, the following items are those that are of concern to me -
1.
e:1._ Section C3 (page 2 of the draft) would prohibit any drive-in or drive-through facilities that would be
visible from the public right-of-way or take direct access from the street. In effect, this would
basically eliminate fast food restaurants and bank branches from this entire area. Is that what the
planning department intends? I understand that drive-through facilities can be creatively
(sometimes) situated on a site plan, but I believe it would be nearly impossible to create a fanctiorlai
drive-through facility that is not visible from the public right-of-way.
2. Section C4 (page 2 of the draft) specifies materials for the primary building facade of new buildings.
Given the numerous examples of attractive and good quality metal buildings that are being
developed these days, both in and out of the area of this proposed zoning district, are you sure that
we want a zoning district that eliminates those type buildings? Particularly, with the existing pattern
of light industrial use in parks of this area, this would seem to be an overly narrow requirement.

3. Section C8 (page 3 of the draft) requires a minimum of 60% of the ground level floor of non-
residential structures fronting the street to be glass. It seems to me that there are a number of quality
office buildings being built these days that would not be able to comply with that, and that this would
be an overly narrow development restriction that might drive new.development to other areas of the
city.
4. Section C10(b) (page 4 of the draft) requires surface parking to be "behind or adjacent" to the
building, but never in front of the building. The geographic area included in this proposed zoning
district is much broader than just the River Market District or similar type areas where it would make
sense to have buildings fronting directly to the street/sidewalk. There are plenty of development
opportunities and available development parcels that are large enough to accommodate a building
that would be designed in traditional fashion with off-street parking located conveniently to the front
door of the building. To prohibit this for the entire district seems unwise.
5. Section C 10(b) (page 4 of the draft) also prohibits new commercial surface parking lots unless an
existing one has been removed. I consider this a bad idea and one that might restrict or hinder new
development in this area. If we want people, to build new buildings in this area, we should not
exacerbate a general parking shortage in the area, but rather should allow market demand to
determine when and if the private sector chooses to add more parking to serve that demand.
6. Section C11 (page 4 of ft draft) seems overly restrictive on signage. Not only is this an extreme
hardship on batiks and restaurants, but there are also other businesses that would be surprised to find
that they are not allowed to even ereot a monument sign on their property.
As I mentioned on the phone, I applaud the idea of a uniform general business district for this geographic
area of the city. However, I sincerely believe that the items mentioned above need to be corrected in
order to avoid an anti -development environment in this part of our town.

Dear Walter:
Attached is a copy of the draft zoning ordinance proposed for the Little Rock
downtown area, which I have marked with my comments and suggested
changes. Will you and Jim Lawson please review these suggestions and
advise me before the September 16 hearing which, if any, you will
incorporate in the proposed ordinance. I plan to be at the hearing and do not
want to advocate a change which you have already made.
Also, please propose that the effective date of the new ordinance be one
year after adoption. Financing, the difficulty of assembling multiple
ownerships, and planning complexity result in a longer pre -development
period in the downtown area. I am sure that the Vanadis group spent over
two years in planning and financing the project now commencing at the
southeast corner of Markham and Main Streets. I have been working since
1992 on the State Urban Campus project planned for the Donaghey
Foundation at 7th and Main Streets. We don't know what developments are
currently in the planning process assuming the existing ordinance. We want
to encourage downtown development, and it is only fair to these developers
that they be given adequate notice of rule changes which might affect their
projects.
Sincerely,
L. Dickson Flake

Dear Property Owner:
This letter is to update you on the progress toward new zoning classifications for the
Downtown area. As you know, hopefully, the City has reviewed the downtown zoning
for about two years. A draft of the new zoning classifications and map indicating
locations are enclosed for your convenience.
The new district (Urban Use) allows Residential, Office and Commercial use by -right but
industrial (I-2) use as a conditional use (C.U.P.). If you have such use and if you will
provide us with a legal description and letter requesting the C.U.P. (including the current
use), then we will include the C.U.P. change at no cost to you.
The second new district (Low Density Residential) allows for multifamily to single
family north of 9`h Street and Duplex to Single Family south of 9h Street with "C-11'
,
(Neighborhood Commercial), use as a conditional use. If you have such use and if you
will provide us with a legal description and letter requesting the C.U.P. (including the
current use), then we will include the C.U.P. change at no cost to you.
The Planning Commission at their regular meeting will discuss this rezoning item on
Thursday, September 2, 1999 in the Board Chambers of City Hall (500 West Markham).
The hearing starts at 4:00 p.m. (NOTE: This item will most likely not be heard at the
beginning of the meeting.) We request that you have all requests for a C.U.P. into our
office (Downtown Zoning, 723 West Markham, Little Rock, AR 72201) by no later than
Friday, August 20, 1999.
If you have any questions, please contact Walter Malone at 371-6819. You are invited to
attend the public hearing on Thursday, September 2, 1999.

3. Section C8 (page 3 of the draft) requires a minimum of 60% of the ground level floor of non-
residential structures fronting the street to be glass. It seems to me that there are a number of quality
office buildings being built these days that would not be able to comply with that, and that this would
be an overly narrow development restriction that might drive new development to other areas of the
city.
4. Section C10(b) (page 4 of the draft) requires surface parking to be "behind or adjacent" to the
building, but never in front of the building. The geographic area included in this proposed zoning
district is much broader than just the River Market District or similar type areas where it would make
sense to have buildings fronting directly to the street/sidewalk. There are plenty of development
opportunities and available development parcels that are large enough to accommodate a building
that would be designed in traditional fashion with off-street parking located conveniently to the front
door of the building. To prohibit this for the entire district seems unwise.
5. Section C 10(b) (page 4 of the draft) also prohibits new commercial surface parking lots unless an
existing one has been removed. I consider this a bad idea and one that might restrict or hinder new
development in this area. If we want people to build new buildings in this area, we should not
exacerbate a general parking shortage in the area, but rather should allow market demand to
determine when and if the private sector chooses to add more parking to serve that demand.
6. Section C I 1 (page 4 of the draft) seems overly restrictive on signage. Not only is this an extreme
hardship on banks and restaurants, but there are also other businesses that would be surprised to find
that they are not allowed to even erect a monument sign on their property.
As I mentioned on the phone, I applaud the idea of a uniform general business district for this geographic
area of the city. However, I sincerely believe that the items mentioned above need to be corrected in
order to avoid an anti -development environment in this part of our town.
Sincerely,

Comments: New surface parking lots should not be allowed for any yeas n on
a primary street.
• Section 6.(e) Height regulations
Comments: The base height should not be set below economic feasibility. No
economic analysis has been done on this issue, although five stories is far
more likely to be feasible than three.
The suggested bonuses don't seem to make much sense other than meaning
well.
-- The housing bonus would allow 214 floors for 20% residential component.
Is that 20% of the entire structure including other bonus floors? Unclear.
Does it make sense to develop residential a floor here and a floor there or in
more concentrated areas? I suggest the later. If an office developer is going to
put residential in hi/her building, is it more likely to be exclusively upper
income or mixed income? I suggest the former. If that is the case how is
downtown to achieve mixed income housing?
-- The CATA bonus states that the developer should provide a portion of the
structure for mass transit and then gives an example of a bus stop which is
typically not in the main building structure. What do we mean? Can only
buildings on bus/trolley routes get this bonus? Is it limited to one building
per block on those routes? Inquiring minds want to know.
-- Parking decks should be built for market reasons. In fact, they are so
expensive that they will only be built for market reasons. If the bonus is not
a real inducement, why have it?
-- Parking deck design/retail. This should be required on primary streets and
not at all on secondary streets.
Earound
yscraper district. The boundary of the skyscraper district with unlimitedht strays west of Broadway to include the block on which the historicral courthouse sits and surrounding blocks. I suggest height limitations this significant structure.
On the corridors and perhaps also on the primary streets, Buildings over the
base height should be subject to design review to balance height and setback
with the buildings impact on the sunlight reaching surrounding buildings
and the street.
,Around special places such as the federal bankruptcy court, the Pulaski
County Courthouse etc. special height and setback requirements should be
established.
• Section 6.(f) Area regulations.
(1) Front yard. Five-foot build to line. If there is an adjacent structure which
is closer than five feet, then the new structure may be built using the line of
the pre-existing stru.cture...A development with an integral accessory use
may increase the setback (build to line) to 20 feet.
Comment: This began as a requirement to build to the right of way line to
establish an urban feel and a uniform building line. It was moved back to
five feet from the right of way line to make room for street trees. The result
will be a jagged building line, leaving the option with the building developer.
The last sentence about an inte al accessoryus being allowed a 20 -foot
�' ?
setback is, by itself, incomprehensible. What does this mean.,
Setbacks along defined corridors should be specifically stated in the
ordinance fe"p-the corridors plan.
fry
The setback along Chester is for the sole purpose of protecting the ROW from
building encroachment. Is this a taking?
■ Section 8. Finally, the W zone extends south of I-630 to 13th street.
Everything south of I-630 should be absolutely limited as to he +ght.
ALTERNATIVE TO DENSITY BONUSES IN UU ZONE
1. The base building height should be set, based on analysis, so that it is
economical to build without bonuses.
Without the benefit of economic analysis, five floors seems reasonable to use
for illustrative purposes.

Planning and Development
Subject: Proposed Downtown Building Heights
Date: October 6, 1999
Based upon concerns from the public, Staff proposes to have additional discussion on the
building height section of the proposed zoning ordinance for the Downtown area. This
memo is to outline some proposed alternatives. Three variations of the building height
and bonuses with examples for the Downtown Zoning category UU are summarized.
UU (CURRENT)
3 stories Base
2 residential bonus with 20% residential
1 CATA approval
1 Retail in Parking Deck
2 to lsf Ground access retail with 50% direct street access
9+ total
Maximum Of 10
DEVELOPER PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE
15 stories Base
2 residential bonus with 20% residential
1 CATA approval
1 Retail in Parking Deck
2 to 1 sf Ground access retail with 50% direct street access
21+ total
Maximum Of 22
STAFF GENERATED ALTERNATIVE
5 stories Base
4 residential bonus with 20% residential
2 CATA approval
2 Retail in Parking Deck
4 to 1 sf Ground access retail with 50% direct street access
1 Parking deck
17+ total
Example:
With a single use, one could have a 5 -story building. If you add a parking deck, you
could have a 6 -story building.
With mixed uses in the building and with a parking deck, you could have a 10 -story
building. If there was retail in the building, 12-14 stories. With retail in the parking
deck, 14-16 stories could be achieved. And with CATA approval, 16-18 stories could be
built.
EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE:
The proposed effective dates of the ordinance will be six months after approval by the
Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock.
Alternative Date: Normal 30 -day effective date.
Persons can request an extension of this by exhibiting proof of one of the following:
1. City of Little Rock review and approval of project with a Planning Commission
action (Conditional Use Permits) or variances granted by the Board of
Adjustment.
2. If you show that of the following items occurred prior to effective date of the
ordinance:
A) Proof of ownership or contract to buy (minimum of 1/2 city block
required) prior to effective date
B) Proof of architectural or engineering services retained
C) Financing or letter of intent from financial institution
This item will be last item discussed at the October 14, 1999 Planning Commission
meeting.

From: Jimmy Mose�*
Subject: Proposed Ne rban Land Use District
Date: September 2.4, 1999
Jim, l am concerned about the proposed new "Urban Use District" as it relates to height
limitation for new buildings. Specifically, our firm is in the process of developing a new mid -rise
tower at the northwest corner of 3' and Commerce streets, adjacent to the River Market district.
This project 19 the second phase of development, (the first phase being the $2.4 million
renovation and adaptive reuse of the Tuf=Nut factory into 31 loft apartments, which we just
recently completed).
The next development phase envisions 10-14 level -mixed use building which will include
ground floor retail, 5-8 levels of offico space and 4--5 levels of apartments (condominiums). In
addition to the tower, we will develop a 300-400 space Zurage on the west portion of the block.
Needless to say, the proposed new zoning ordinance would inhibit our ability to develop
this project, whereas the old ordinance would give us the flexibility to develop our proposed
building.
Would you please consider the following request;
1) Since we are already underway in a phased development and have in fact
acquired the land for our proposed building, please permit this projoct to
move forward under the existing ordinance.
2) Consider modifying the proposed new urban use district, by increasing the
height limit from 45 feet 3 stories, to ZN feet and. 15 stories. Thereafter,
offer the same incentives as described in the document. By providing for
taller buildings and also offering incentives for residential/retail use, you will
encourage density Find diversity in an area that is in need of this type of
development. As proposed, I don't believe you will foster either.

SECTION.—. URBAN USE DISTRICT
(a) General Purpose and Intent. The Urban Use district established by this
chapter is designed to assure the continuation of development consistent with a
traditional urban form. The Urban Use district is designed to help create a
compact, dense, distinguishable core area. The district is established in order to
provide for an urban form allowing mid -rise and high rise structures. This District
is to provide for the office, civic and business core of the City. Structures within
the Urban Use district are encouraged to provide multiple uses within the same
structure. The ground or street level of structures should include street oriented
activity and pedestrian amenities. The resulting area is to be pedestrian 'urban'
oriented.
(b) Application of Regulations. The regulations of this District shall apply to new
development, redevelopment, expansion of existing development or exterior
modifications. Routine repairs and maintenance shall not require compliance
with this section.
Except for construction of improvements in the public right of way required by the
City, and redevelopment or expansion of existing development, all uses,
structures or lots which existed on the effective date of this section which do not
conform to the standards and guidelines established in this section, shall be
treated as nonconforming according to the provisions of Article III of this chapter.

Sec. . R4 -A Low Density Residential
(a) Purpose and intent. The purpose of the R -4A District is to protect existing
developed residential neighborhoods. It is intended for single family use with
conversions to two family units or the addition of accessory residential units.
The R -4A district should be located in developed areas of the city where an
environment suitable for moderate -density residential (use) and in an established
medium -density residential areas where densification may facilitate their
continuation as desirable residential areas. Accessory uses, conditional uses
and home occupations are permitted as long as they do not have objectionable
characteristics ^dafn n„+^'�^ and provided further
that they otherwise conform to the provisions of this chapter. The district is
intended to be an urban low to moderate -density residential area, where an
occasional nonresidential use adds to the overall character of the neighborhood.
(b) Use Regulations.
(1) Permitted uses. Permitted uses are single-family and two-family
residences.
(2) Other uses. Accessory, home occupation, temporary, special and
conditional uses allowed within the R -4A low-density residential district
shall be the same as those in the R-1, R-2, R-3 single-family districts.
In addition any by -right uses within the C-1 neighborhood commercial
district may be allowed as conditional uses in R -4A as specifically
approved by the Planning Commission. These uses must follow the
development criteria listed under C-1 neighborhood commercial and
have a traditional design consistent with the neighborhood.
(3) Within the area bounded by Capitol Avenue on the north, 9th street on
the south, 1-30 on the east, and Cumberland Street on the west, in
addition to the above uses, multi -family use, as defined by R-5 urban
residential district, shall be a permitted use.
(c) Height regulations. No building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall
exceed a height of thirty-five (35) feet.
(d) Area regulations.
(1) Front yard. There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less
than tweAty-#iye=qL5) fifteen 15 feet. If there is an adjacent structure,
which is closer than 25 15 feet, then the new structure may be built using
the line of the pre-existing structure. In no case may a structure be built
in the right-of-way.
