FILE NO.: Z -7463-C Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the maximum driveway width was 36 -feet and the minimum driveway spacing was 200 -feet between drives. Staff stated a minimum pavement width of 31 -feet measured from back of curb to back of curb was to be provided. Staff questioned if semi -trucks would access the site. The developer indicated no semi -truck traffic was anticipated. He stated the maximum size vehicle would be a box -truck. The applicant questioned if a variance or waiver could be secured for the driveway spacing and the minimum pavement width of the access drive. Staff stated this should be included in the response if a waiver and/or variance was being requested. Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated building landscaping and perimeter landscaping would be required with the development of the site. Staff stated perimeter plantings would be required with the development of the site. Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing a number of technical issues associated with the request. The applicant has provided notification as requested by staff at the August 29, 2018, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow the driveways and drive lanes with variances from the typical ordinance standards. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow this C-4, Open Display District, zoned property to develop with eight (8) buildings of office warehouse. The applicant has indicated the buildings as 40 -feet by 60 -feet. Access to the buildings is from a shared driveway on West 65th Street. The plan indicates the placement of a 40 -foot building setback from the property line along the common drive. A 25 -foot setback is proposed along the north property line and a 15 -foot setback is proposed along the eastern property line which abuts the Union Pacific Railroad right of way. The plan indicates the placement of three (3) parking spaces in front of each of the proposed warehouse buildings. The applicant has not indicated the buildings will be single occupancy warehouse users in each of the buildings. Parking for a warehouse and storage facility is typically based on five (5) parking spaces plus one (1) space per 2,000 square feet. Based on the typical parking requirement six (6) spaces would be required for each building. 9 December 13, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: B (Cont. FILE NO.: Z -7463-C The applicant is proposing to install curb and gutter along the east side of the access driveway. The applicant is also seeking a variance to allow the driveways for Buildings 1 — 4 to be spaced as shown on the site plan rather than the typical 200 -foot spacing and to allow the driveways to be 60 -feet in width rather than the 36 -foot maximum typically allowed. The plan indicates the placement of a development sign along West 65th Street. The sign is proposed with a maximum height of 36 -feet and a maximum sign area of 160 square feet. Building signage is proposed along the southern fagade of the building with a maximum sign area of ten (10) percent of the wall fagade area. Building signage is proposed along the rear of Buildings 1 through 5. The wall sign proposed is 32 square feet. The plan indicates the placement of a six (6) foot chain link fence along the east property line. A seven (7) foot chain link fence is indicated along the northern property line. The plan indicates the placement of a dumpster near the northern driveway. The dumpster will be fully screened per typical ordinance standards. The request includes a variance from the Land Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of the entire site with the construction of the first building. Ordinance No. 20,839 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 11, 2014, modified Section 36-108 of the Little Rock Code to limit the term of approval of a conditional use permit to a maximum of three (3) years from the date of approval. If an approved multi -phase development, has not been completed within three (3) years of the date of approval the conditional use permit must be reviewed and reapproved by the Commission in the same manner as the initial conditional use permit. Staff is generally supportive of the concept to allow for individual office warehouse spaces but has concerns with the parking as proposed. The parking as proposed is inadequate to meet the typical minimum parking requirement of the zoning ordinance and there is little alternative for overflow parking. Based on the lack of parking proposed for the site staff cannot support the application as filed. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the application as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 20, 2018) The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present.
