A. PROPOSAVREQUEST:
The applicant proposes to develop a two-story elderly housing assisted living
facility on this 9.41 acres. The units will each contain a single bedroom and bath.
There is a common dining room, commercial kitchen, commercial laundry facility,
a media room with theater style seating, library and arts and crafts center. The
facility will also contain a small laundry facility for residents or their families to
wash their delicate clothing. The facility will contain 130 rooms. The applicant
has indicated 91 parking spaces on the site plan. The applicant has indicated
there will be no more than 18 employees working at any given time. The
applicant has stated residents of the facility do not drive; a private bus will pick up
the residents several times during the day in order to provide access to shopping
and services.
The applicant is requesting a variance for driveway spacing on Chenal Valley
Drive. The circular drive will serve the resident's bus and visitor parking. The
circular driveway will be one way and should function as one curb cut. The
driveway on the west end of the Chenal Valley Drive frontage will serve mainly
the employees and service entrance. The applicant has indicated this will limit
the number of trips from the driveway as most employees will only come and go
at the beginning and end of their shift.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow an increased wall height along the
northwest corner of the site. The area will be buffered to the north by an
undisturbed buffer area. The applicant has indicated the increased wall height is
necessary to allow the ground level units access to light and air.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is a wooded site currently zoned MF -12. There is a vacant OS zoned
tract located to the north of the site which slopes downward to the north. There
is a vacant C-2 zoned tract located on the northeast corner of Chenal Parkway
and Chenal Valley Drive and a large church is located on the southeast corner of
the intersection. Immediately south of the site is a vacant R-2 zoned tract.
At the intersection of Chenal Parkway and Chenal Valley Drive the median ends
and the parkway becomes a two lane roadway to the north. Future plans
included the development of the divided parkway to continue to Cantrell Road.
C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (November 6, 2003)
Mr. Joe White was present representing the applicant. Staff noted the site was
currently zoned MF -12 and the request was to rezone the site to PD -R to allow
the construction of an assisted living facility. Staff questioned the number of
units proposed for the development. Mr. White stated there would be 130 rooms
available. Staff also questioned the number of proposed parking spaces. Mr.
White stated typically the residents did not drive. The facility would provide
transportation for the residents.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff noted the proposed cut along the
northern perimeter did not meet the ordinance requirements. Staff suggested the
applicant redesign the site to accommodate the hillside. Staff also requested
information concerning the number of driveway cuts along Chenal Valley Drive.
Mr. White stated the transit for the residents would be the primary users of the
circular drive. He stated the drive would be marked as one-way to reduce the
number of conflicts. Staff stated they would consider allowing the drive but
suggested Mr. White consider an alternative circulation pattern on the site.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff noted the street buffer fell below
the minimum allowed buffer. Staff also stated irrigation would be required to
water landscaped areas.
There being no further items for discussion, the Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plan to staff on November 17, 2003. The
revised plan addressed some of the issues raised at the November 6, 2003
Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has indicated the proposed
development includes 130 units of assisted living housing and 91 parking
spaces. The proposed parking does not meet the typical minimum parking
demand for a multi -family development. The typical parking demand for an
elderly housing multi -family development would be 65 parking spaces. The
applicant has indicated a large majority of the residents do not drive. Staff feels
the proposed parking is adequate to meet the typical minimum parking demand.
The site plan also includes a one-way circular driveway on the site to allow
residents to be picked -up and dropped -off at the door. The driveway does not
meet the access and circulation requirements of the ordinances with the
placement of four drives along Chenal Valley Drive but staff feels the placement
is acceptable. The location of the eastern -most drive is located approximately
340 -feet from the property line as required in Sections 30-43 and 31-210 of the
5
December 4, 2003
SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 22
FILE NO.: Z-7530
City of Little Rock Code of Ordinances. The drive located on the western
property line is located approximately 135 feet (the minimum spacing required for
a drive on a collector street from the property line is 150 feet). The circular drive
should have a minimum spacing of 250 feet. The proposed driveway is
approximately 145 feet center to center. Staff is supportive of the requested
variances to allow reduced driveway spacing. The circular drive will be signed as
one way reducing the number of conflicting traffic movements. The drive located
on the western end to the site should not have any adverse impact if adjoining
properties are developed since the drive is within 15 -feet of the required spacing.
The applicant is requesting an increased wall height along the northwestern
portion of the site. The ordinance allows a maximum of thirty vertical feet of fill or
excavation in three ten foot vertical terraces, or two fifteen -foot vertical terraces.
The applicant is requesting four ten foot vertical terraces in this area. The
applicant has indicated the additional cut and fill is required to allow the lower
units access to light and air and to limit the area of clearing located north of the
site. Staff is supportive of this request. The area will abut an undisturbed area of
approximately sixty feet at the most narrow point and the area to the north of the
site is zoned OS.
The applicant has indicated the street buffer is less than the ordinance
requirement. The typical required street buffer would be eleven feet. The
proposed development includes a 15 -foot utility and drainage easement as well
as a 25 -foot building setback. Staff feels the proposed street buffer is adequate.
The street buffer is approximately 10 -feet without the easement and 25 -feet with
the easement. Typically easements are not allowed to count toward fulfilling the
required landscaping. The applicant has indicated landscaping in front of the
building and perimeter landscaping. In addition, the applicant has indicated a
100 -foot undisturbed buffer along Chenal Parkway. Staff is supportive of the
requested landscaping strip along Chenal Valley Drive.
To Staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the
proposed request. The proposed request to rezone the site to PD -R to allow the
construction of an assisted living facility on the site should have minimal to no
adverse impact on the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as filed subject to compliance with the
conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of this report.
Staff recommends approval of the variance to allow reduced driveway spacing
for the two western drives.
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow an increased wall
height along the northwestern portion of the site.
