Submitted by: Department of Planning and Development SYNOPSIS FISCAL IMPACT RECOMMENDATION CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Action Required gOrdinance Resolution Approval Information Report Submitted By Bruce Moore The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the site from R-2, Single-family to PCD to allow the construction of a hotel. I None. Staff recommends approval of the requested PCD zoning. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the requested zoning by a vote of 8 ayes, 1 no, 1 absent and 1 open position. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed PCD request at its September 27, 2007, meeting. There were registered objectors present. The Town and Country Neighborhood Association, Southwest Little Rock United for Progress, all residents who could be identified located within 300 feet of the site and all property owners located within 200-feet of the site were notified of the Public Hearing. BACKGROUND The applicant is proposing to construct a two story 32-room hotel on this 0.95 acre site. The site plan indicates the placement of a 25-foot building setback along the street side and a 25-foot rear yard setback. The northern building setback has been indicated at 15-feet as typically required in the commercial zoning district for C-3, General Commercial District. The maximum building height has been indicated at 35-feet also as typically allowed in the C-3, General Commercial District zoning classification. A total of 32 rooms are proposed with 34 parking spaces. Based on the typical minimum parking requirement for a hotel 35 spaces would typically be required. Although the site is not providing adequate parking to meet the typical minimum parking demand, staff does not feel the reduced number of parking spaces will significantly impact the development or the area. The plan indicates the placement of building landscaping in compliance with the requirements of the landscape ordinance. The applicant has indicated plantings will be installed and pots of seasonal color will be added to the site to soften the building and parking areas. Staff previously raised concerns with the proposed development as originally proposed, indicating they felt the developers were maximizing the development with buildings and parking and paying little attention to the site design. Staff feels the amended site plan more fully complies with typical minimum ordinance requirements for development of a commercial site. Please see the attached Planning record and site plan for the development proposal and the recommendation. Commission minute applicant's specific staff analysis and 2 ORDINANCE NO.
