The Partnership's diligence is greatly appreciated. In order to assure we cover all bases, an item has been placed on the March 2, 2000 hearing of the Little Rock Planning Commission. This will allow the Commission to consider the Partnership's recommendations prior to Board action. I do not expect serious concerns, but it would be helpful to have someone there to answer any questions the Commission may have. That meeting will be at 4:00 p.m. in the Board Chambers, 500 West Markham. The entire zoning ordinance will be placed on the Board of Directors March 7, 2000 hearing for consideration. We look forward to continuing this work with the Partnership to make our downtown a vital active area which attracts people not only from around the area but around this state and nation.

As always, your requests are well thought out and reasonable. As a result, the Little Rock Board of Directors will act on the Downtown Vision Plans as part of the December 7, 1999 Board Meeting and with strong support by staff. I expect unanimous approval. We will also delay action on the zoning ordinance until February and will appreciate all parties keeping the intensive schedule which you outlined. Mr. Tony Bozynsky of the City's Planning Department will be the key contact for these sessions and for follow-up questions. Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information. SqnIly, City Manager Cc: Mayor Jim Dailey Mr. Tony Bozynski V tee Popp THE Down own PARTNERSHIP November 30, 1999 Mr. Cy Carney City Manager City Hall 500 West Markham, Room 204 Little Rock, AR 72201 Re: New Downtown Zoning Ordinance Dear Cy: F RECEIVE:) DEC 011999 As you know, The Downtown Partnership has had several meetings in the past month to discuss the Six Bridges Plan, the Corridor Study, and the Downtown Framework Plan, as well as the new zoning ordinance prepared by city planning staff for the downtown area. The Six Bridges Plan, the Corridor Study, and the Downtown Framework Plan, all address general guidelines for development and present an outline of the optimum way for the city to develop. After studying these three vision plans for the last sixty days, The Partnership in its regularly scheduled board meeting last week, voted unanimously to approve these conceptual plans and recommend adoption by the City of Little Rock. We believe the next step in implementing these vision plans, is the adoption of zoning ordinances and regulations which reflect the direction of these plans with specific zoning requirements to accomplish these objectives. The Partnership Executive Committee in joint session with the Physical Planning Committee has met twice to discuss the zoning ordinance presented by the City of Little Rock planning staff. After our meeting this past Monday, I was hopeful I could send you a list of changes we recommend for the zoning ordinance, and then recommend approval of the ordinance with these changes. However, after much in-depth discussion with representatives of the City, the Donaghey Project for Urban Studies, and The Downtown Partnership, it has become clear there are few areas of concern in the zoning ordinance that we would like to discuss in more detail. 101 South Main, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 PHONE (501) 375-0121 FAX (501) 375-1377 To this end The Downtown Partnership Executive Committee and Physical Planning committee made several recommendations today which they are asking you to consider. We. would like to divide the work effort into two phases: 1. An immediate phase to solve the remaining differences in the current zoning ordinance. 2. A future phase to consider issues of urban design which may require further considerations of changes to the zoning ordinance or be resolved through new design overlay districts for key areas of the Downtown. In the first phase, we will to address only the following issues from the proposed zoning ordinance in the immediate phase within a tight schedule to meet your goal of adoption soon: • Street trees • The 5 foot build -to line • Parking • Percentage of transparency in a wall • Maximum height requirements • Coordination of corridor street designations • Architecturally significant and historic structures In the second phase, we will address the following issues as future recommendations: ■ Minimum height requirements • Overhead skywalks • Underground utilities and street lights • Financial incentives (i.e. tax abatement) I know you and the Planning Commission have spent a great amount of time on the zoning ordinance, and you would like to bring this to a resolution as soon as possible. We will commit to you to have a series of four meetings in December and early January, to include the Planning Commission and Hugh Earnest in the discussions, or make a special presentation to the Planning Commission if you think necessary. By the last week of January we will have a final copy of our proposed changes incorporated into the ordinance ready for Board adoption. I understand your feelings concerning major changes in the ordinance and the possible necessity of these changes needing to be discussed again by citizen groups. We feel as though we are expanding on the input you have already received, and hopefully you will feel comfortable that new citizen discussions are not necessary. We will, however, do whatever you believe is the best way to proceed in this area. It is not our goal to make substantive changes in the ordinance. The Downtown Partnership respectively requests you do two things regarding these vision plans and zoning documents. First, we would like you to proceed with a resolution for adoption of the Vision Plans at the December 7th City Board meeting. Secondly, we would ask you to put off adoption by the City Board of the new zoning ordinance until a February board meeting. We will commit to have to you by this time, a new draft of the ordinance incorporating any changes which our group thinks are appropriate. We understand there was language in the zoning ordinance suggesting a delay of implementation of six months to a year. We think this delay for which we are asking, would fit that time period of review and implementation and not impact the overall effect of your new zoning ordinance. Cy, we certainly appreciate you willingness to work with us on what we consider a new and exciting direction for downtown. Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

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 .,n ate,, in the area 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.

Markham St. 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. r 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 acrd 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 Jie, California Annapolis, Maryland Professor Glasser confirmed that mixed use structures were essential for revitalizing a central business district, enabling persons to live 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, Kathy Wells, Wells, President 324 Midland Avenue Little Rock, AR 72205 September 16, 1999 Mr. Walter Malone Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 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, ILI 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 elemerifs 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. P 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. Submitted by Barbara Patty Member, Downtown Planning Committee September 16, 1999 BARNES UINN AKE & ANDERSON- REALTORS September 7, 1999 Mr. Walter Malone Planning Manager Department of Planning & Development City of Little Rock 723 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201-1334 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, Z;�� L.

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 91h Street and Duplex to Single Family south of 9`h 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 371-6819. You are invited to attend the public hearing on Thursday, September 2, 1999. Sincerely, Walter Malone, AICP Planning Manager WM: as THE HATHAWAY GROUP September 2, 1999 Mr. Walter Malone, AICP Planning Manager City of Little Rock 723 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201-1334 501.371.4790: SUBJECT: ' URBAN USE DISTRICT Dear Walter: James E. Hathaway, Jr., CRE Jeffrey R. Hathaway, CCIM, SIOR John C. Kincaid Ellen S. Koenig Stuart S. Mackey John M_ Moore, III Robert D. Richardson, GRI William S. Roach, J.D_ L Carter Burwell III 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: 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 functional 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 parts of this area, this would seem to be an overly narrow requirement. TO Commercial Industrial and Investment Realtors 100 Morgan Keegan Drive • Suite 120 . Little Rock, Arkansas 72202-2214 • (SO 1 X663-5400 • Fax (501)663-5408 Mr. Walter Malone, AICP September 2, 1999 Page 2 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 C 10(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 C10(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 11 (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, Je .

[SRMP007@ahtd.state. ar.us] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 1999 3:50 PM To: Walter Malone (E-mail) 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. 09/14/99 07:56 $5017587863 FCMC NLR MCCAIN X1001/001 LAY COMMEKCIAL MORTGAGE COMPANY, LLC 3901 MCCAIN PARK DRNE NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKAMAS 7Z 1 16 501-771-1408 • fAA 5U1-758 7863 • E-MAIL IlayQmAU.snidcr.net LYNDELL LAY, [-MA CniM cxecud.c Ormcr vNJVB" 9/14/99 FROM: Lyrt(lell LY Halter malona ¢ Or PAarS INCLUDING COVER SHt47_ 1 MF.mAGE _ r` F- • I �-LITTT-E ROCK 0 Ni 0 RTC .15; .1)TSTRICT f. jl rr APPLIC.d►.T XON FOR A' C ERTIFTC:ATE 0.P APPROPRTATENGSS Application Date: 6/11198 1.

WALLAR, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT: NEW ZONING & MSP DATE: 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 ofAwnings 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 story 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 frontyard... 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 I bonus floor for mass transit. What bonus scenario would allow up to 10 stories (1509? ➢ 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 (4) 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 consi4red 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 rxed 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. CW/pm "We're Proud Of Our Work(s)!"

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. Fixtures adjacent to roadways shall be of a design that minimizes glare to the motoring public. 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.

Buildings must be oriented to the street. The primary entrance of the building shall be at street level on the street at the sidewalk. Entrances shall be designed so that the door will not swing beyond the property line. (8) Street -level floor. The ground -level (street fronting) floor of non-residential structures shall have a minimum of 60 percent transparent or window display. If at least 50 percent of the street -level office and retail space has direct access to the street, the total building square footage may be increased with additional floor(s) at a rate of 2 square feet for each one square foot of leasable space directly accessible to the street. On the street level the maximum area of sign may also be doubled if the above requirement is met. (9) Projections (all requirements for a franchise remain in place). a. Objects shall not project from the building facade over the public right of way except for awnings and balconies. b. Awnings shall not project more than 5'-0" from the building facade and have a minimum clearance of 9'-0" above the sidewalk. _c.

The ground or street -level of a parking structure shall have at least 50 percent of the street -level structure frontage (exclusive of entrance driveways, stairways and pedestrian entryways) for active use other than parking, such as offices, light retail, personal services and entertainment. The structure may be constructed without these alternative uses as long as the first level of the structure has a minimum height of 12 feet to allow for a retrofit adding them in the future. 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. Within this district no additional commercial surface parking lots shall be permitted after the date of this ordinance. If a commercial surface lot is removed then a new commercial surface lot may be added within this district as long as the total area which is devoted to this use does not increase from that as of the date of this ordinance. (11) Signs.

In the area bounded by Markham Street on the north, 8th 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). (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 structure.

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 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.

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.

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-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.

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.

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 I)?, AFT [) p,A, F T • 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 IL R A 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.

The commissioners voted to com- pletely rezone downttoc�rn, replacing a mishmash of zoninz, dating from the 1960s with one uni- form set of rules. The new, classifica- tion. "urban use," is intended to I help downtown Little Rock attain a mixed-use, urban feellike the vi- brant atmosphere in cities like Chat- tanooga.. Tenn., and Portland, Ore. The commissioners' vote is a recommendation �o the city board, which will likely take up the matter See PLANNING, Page 59 Planning • Continued from Page 1 B 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 Sears, range from mandat- ing that all buildings start 5 feet from the street to requiring that one-third of the ground -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 • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 19 Copyright ® 1999, Arkansas Democrat -Gazette, 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.
