F. ISSUES/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
Planning Division: This request is located in the 1-630 Planning District. The
Land Use Plan shows Mixed Office Commercial (MOC) for this property. The
Mixed Office Commercial category provides for a mixture of office and
commercial uses to occur. Acceptable uses are office or mixed office and
commercial. A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is mixed office and
4
FILE NO.: Z -7895-B (Cont.)
commercial. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from PCD (Planned
Commercial District) to PCD (Planned Commercial District) to allow the
development of an office — warehouse use on the site.
Master Street Plan: Appian Way is a Local Street on the Master Street Plan. The
primary function of a Local Street is to provide access to adjacent properties.
Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive
zoning than duplexes are considered as "Commercial Streets". A Collector
design standard is used for Commercial Streets. This street may require
dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances
and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
Landscape:
Site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance
requirements.
2. The property along the northern property line is zoned R-3; therefore, a
twelve foot (12') wide land use buffer is required. The site is located within
the designated mature area of the City and may qualify for a 25% reduction in
the required landscape buffer strip. Seventy percent (70%) of the buffer area
is to remain undisturbed.
3. The zoning street buffer requires a nine foot wide (9') street buffer along
Appian Way Street. The area is located within the "Designated Mature Area"
of the City which may allow a reduction in the buffer area by 25%; therefore,
this amount can be reduced down to six foot nine inches (6'-9").
4. The landscape ordinance requires a nine foot wide perimeter landscape strip
around the sites entirety. A variance from the City Beautiful Commission
must be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit.
5. It appears the front parking lot can be shifted close the west; allowing for
these minimal green space distances.
6. Eight percent (8%) of the vehicular use area must be designated for green
space; this green space needs to be evenly distributed throughout the parking
area(s). Interior islands must be a minimum of one hundred and fifty (150)
feet in area to qualify and be seven and one half (7 '/2) feet in width.
7. A small amount of building landscaping will be required.
8. Is the rip -rap proposed or existing? If riprap is the preferred choice for
grading/stabilization it will need to have some type of vegetation coverage for
an aesthetic appeal/appearance.
9. The City Beautiful Commission recommends
trees as feasible on this site. Credit toward
requirements can be given when preserving
larger.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (June 20, 2013)
Mr. Vernon Williams was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the development stating there were a number of outstanding
technical issues associated with the request. Staff stated the originally approved
PCD included a land area much larger than the current request. Staff questioned
if the original PCD would be revoked. Staff questioned the proposed building
height, the proposed use of the structure and the days and hours of operation.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated right of way dedication
and street construction would be required in conjunction with the proposed
development. Staff also stated the City's Stormwater Detention ordinance would
apply to the development of the site. Staff stated a special grading permit would
be required for grading within the flood hazard area. Staff stated the driveway
spacing indicated on the site plan did not comply with typical ordinance
standards and would require a variance from Sections 30-43 and 31-210.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated the plan did not include
the required buffer and screening along the northern perimeter. Staff also stated
the street buffer did not comply with the typical ordinance standards. Staff stated
a minimum of eight percent (8%) of the parking areas would require landscaping.
Staff noted a small amount of building landscaping would be required with the
development of the site.
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:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan and cover letter to staff addressing a
number of issues raised at the June 20, 2013, Subdivision Committee meeting.
The applicant is corresponding directly with Entergy concerning their comments
and concerns related to the site development. Prior to the issuance of a building
permit staff will ensure Entergy is agreeable to the proposed development plan.
The applicant is requesting revocation of the PCD zoning which was approved in
September 2007, by the adoption of Ordinance No. 19,820. The underlying
zoning is R-2, Single-family. The revocation includes Lots 2 — 6, 7 — 10 and
14 — 16 Block 2 Ferndale Addition to the City of Little Rock, Pulaski County,
Arkansas.
The applicant is proposing a PCD zoning to allow the development of
Lots 14 — 17 Block 12 of the Ferndale Addition to the City of Little Rock,
Arkansas. The lots front on Appian Way. There are two single-family homes
0
FILE NO.: Z -7895-B Cont.
located on the site, one of which will be removed. The remaining home will be
converted to an office for a new warehouse to be constructed. The warehouse is
proposed as 60 -feet by 100 -feet containing 6,000 square feet. The floor level of
the warehouse will match the basement level of the existing dwelling. The
maximum building height proposed is 35 -feet. The use of the building is
proposed as office warehouse.
The days and hours of operation are proposed from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday
through Friday. No signage will be installed with the initial development of the
site. The applicant is requesting signage as allowed in office zones for future
placement both on the building and ground signage. Building signage would be
limited to a maximum of ten (10) percent of the front fagade. Ground signage
would be limited to a maximum height of six 6) feet and a maximum sign area of
sixty-four (64) square feet.
The site plan includes the placement of a six (6) foot wood fence along the
northern perimeter adjacent to the residentially zoned and used property. With
the revocation the remaining perimeters will be restored to R-2, Single-family.
The applicant is requesting to not screen the remaining areas since they are
under the applicant's ownership. The request includes grading within the buffer
area to raise the building out of the floodplain. Staff is supportive of the request.
The site plan includes the placement of 17 parking spaces. The existing office
use would typically require two (2) parking spaces and the warehouse portion of
the development would require the eight (8) parking spaces. Staff is supportive
of the parking as proposed.
Staff is supportive of the request. Staff feels since the previous development will
not be implemented the PCD zoning should be revoked. Staff is supportive of
the applicant's rezoning request to PCD for the proposed office warehouse
development. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical
issues associated with the request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
Staff recommends approval of the request to allow grading within the land use
buffers as proposed by the applicant.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 11, 2013)

FILE NO.: Z -7895-B (Cont.
the comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff
report. Staff presented a recommendation of approval of the request to allow grading
within the land use buffer as proposed by the applicant. Staff presented a
recommendation of approval of the variance request from Sections 30-43 and 31-210 to
allow the placement of two driveways on Appian Way to access the site. Staff also

zoning.
Mr. Vernon Williams addressed the Commission stating the owners would reserve their
time until after the opposition spoke.
Ms. Teresa Perry, President of the Capitol View Stifft Station Neighborhood Association,
addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. She stated the neighborhood
was opposed to the rezoning due to lack of information. She stated the Neighborhood
Association worked with Mr. Abernathy in his rezoning request in 2007. She stated the
property was located adjacent to a creek. She stated the area along Woodrow Street
was a dumping ground. She stated she had been trying to gather information on the
potential owner and developer of the property and was informed today the buyer would
be US Pizza. She questioned why the developers wanted to remove two residential
units from the site. She felt the development should occur on the vacant property
located on Woodrow Street. She stated the neighborhood wanted to be informed and
wanted to know what was going on in their neighborhood.
Ms. Maxine Waters addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. She stated
she had lived in the area since 1992 and did not desire to sell her property or to sell her
restaurant. She stated the restaurant was closed but would be open in the next few
months. She stated she did not support the placement of the warehouse within the
residential area of the neighborhood.
Mr. Mark Abernathy addressed the Commission on the request. He stated he was the
owner of the property and had revealed as much information as he felt comfortable with
the buyer and seller negotiations. He stated he was unaware of any issues until this
morning. He stated he had not been invited to speak with the Board and would have
been happy to show up if invited. He stated the buyer was not contacted to meet with
the Neighborhood Association. The Commission questioned if Mr. Abernathy was
willing to defer the item to the August 22nd meeting to allow time to meet with the
Neighborhood Association. He stated he would meet with the Association between the
Planning Commission meeting and the Board of Directors meeting. He stated a lot
could happen in six weeks.
There was a general discussion by the Commission concerning the proposed use and
the placement of the office warehouse at this location. The buyer's representative
stated this location best served their needs. He stated the area along Woodrow was not
the desired location for the office warehouse.

Ms. Penny stated there were several concerns the neighborhood had raised. She
stated the neighborhood wanted to see elevations, the height of the building, the
materials. She stated the neighborhood was concerned the development was not being
located on vacant land but was taking away two residential homes from the area. She
stated both homes were occupied and was concerned the area would change from
residential.
The Commission stated there would be time for the residents to get their questions
answered prior to the Board of Directors meeting. There was no further discussion of
the item. The Chair entertained a motion for approval of the item as presented by staff.
The motion carried by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent.
