Phase III a third office building with approximately 3,500 square feet was also approved. The structures were to be aesthetically pleasing; the architectural style was to be more residential than commercial in design. The approval allowed three (3) employees in the Phase I building with little traffic to the site since most of the activity took place off site at FILE NO.: 7-7008-C Cont. the customer's place of business. Phase II and III buildings were to be marketed to similar type uses. General and professional office users for the buildings were approved.

No ground signage, only wall signage on each of the buildings, was approved. Ordinance No. 20,225 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on March 2, 2010, allowed a revision to the POD. The approval allowed the POD to expand to the west which included proposed Lot 3. The lot area for Lot 3 was 0.45 acres. An existing office building was located on Lot 1. Lot 2 remained zoned R-2, Single-family and would be held for future development. The development was proposed in two (2) phases. Phase I consisted of the existing building on proposed Lot 1 and a second office building on proposed Lot 3. Phase 11 was the development of Lot 2 which remained zoned single-family and would not be developed until the developer was able to annex the site into the corporate limits of the City of Little Rock to receive sewer service. Ordinance No. 20,278 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on June 1, 2010, allowed for a deferral of the Boundary Street Ordinance requirement of street construction to Kanis Road for five (5) years or until the development of Lot 2 or until adjacent development occurs whichever occurred first.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (September 2, 2010) Mr. Joe White of White-Daters and Associates was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview stating there were few outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff stated the item was reviewed and approved in early 2010 to allow the site to develop with two (2) single story office buildings. Staff stated the current request was to allow the western most office building to develop with a two story structure. Staff stated there were no other changes proposed to the previous approval. Staff stated the proposed use and hours would remain the same. Staff stated in June the Board of Directors adopted an ordinance deferring the required boundary street improvements for a period of five (5) years, until adjacent development occurred or until the development of Lot 2 which was located to the rear (south) of the proposed office development. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: There were no outstanding issues raised at the September 2, 1010, Subdivision Committee meeting. The request is to amend the previously approved POD to 5 FILE NO.: Z -7008-C (Cont. allow the building located on proposed Lot 3 to increase in height from a single story building to a two story building and the total square footage to increase to 6,500 square feet. The building envelope will not increase from the previous approval or a total of 4,300 square feet. The office located on Lot 1 contains 2,326 square feet. The building located on Lot 3 contains a total of 6,500 square feet. The site is proposed with cross access and parking easement with a total of 29 parking spaces available for the two (2) office buildings. The site plan indicates twelve (12) parking spaces to serve the office use located on Lot 1 and seventeen (17) spaces to =serve the office building located on Lot 3. The ordinance would typically require the placement of five (5) spaces to serve the existing office building and sixteen (16) spaces to serve the new office use. The twenty-nine (29) parking spaces shared between the two lots is more than adequate to serve the office uses. The proposed uses of the property remain as were previously approved with general and professional office uses as the allowable uses for the site. The previous approval allowed office hours of operation were from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. The applicant has not requested a modification to the hours of operation for the new office building. No ground signage was approved with the original request only wall signage on each of the buildings. The current request does not include ground signage. Wall signage is proposed as typically allowed in office zones or a maximum of ten percent of the fagade area abutting the public street. Staff is supportive of the request.
