It was my intention to try to help people, especially in this area, with office space and/or other small social, family gathering, or other small business activities. It was not has ended up as I desired - turned out to be a tax burden/expense to me. Now, I am planning to use it for families needing Section 8 Housing. Hopefully, this will still help some families.

(Z- 8292-13) Submitted by: Department of Planning and Development Bruce T. Moore SYNOPSIS The request is a revocation of the previously approved PD-O, Planned Development Office Zoning District and the restoration of the underlying R-4, Two-family Zoning District. FISCAL IMPACT I None. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested PD-O Revocation. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the PD-O Revocation by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 recusal (Commissioner Laha). BACKGROUND Ordinance No. 19,915, adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 5, 2008, rezones the site from R-4, Two-family District to POD to allow the existing duplex to be renovated for an activity center and private offices. The applicant proposed persons using the House of Vision, an office next door located at 1971 Wright Avenue, as meeting room space to plan activities, extended business meetings, private family gatherings and other small community meetings. The House of Vision allowed free office space for BACKGROUND job development and placement of ex -felons; stop the violence program, personal growth and development for targeted populations and other community services. Ordinance No. 21,001 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on March 3, 2015, allowed a revision to the previously approved POD to allow the use of a portion of the structure as residential. The building located on the site was constructed as a duplex. The structure served as an activity center and private office space. The unit located at 1921 Wright Avenue will become the private residence while the 1853 Summit unit would continue to function with private offices, meeting space and public gathering space. The residential request was to accommodate a family member in need of a place to live on a temporary basis. The structure contained 4,900 square feet. The residence was to contain 2,200 square feet and the remaining 2,700 square feet was to be used for office space and public gatherings. The applicant stated the uses included graduation ceremonies for Dr. Emma Rhodes Education Center (EREC) located at 1815 Wrights Avenue, small community meetings, extended business meetings not held in the EREC building and office space. Per Section 36-454(d) The owner of an approved PD or PUD may, for cause, request repeal of the ordinance establishing the development when it has been determined that the development will not occur. A written request may be filed with the City staff at any time up to three (3) years after the date of adoption of the ordinance creating the PUD or PD. The request shall set forth the cause of the repeal. According to the ordinance, the Planning Commission recommendation on the repeal request shall be forwarded to the Board of Directors for their consideration. The Board of Directors may grant or deny the request or return the request to the Planning Commission for further study. If the request is approved, an ordinance shall be adopted repealing the PUD or PD. The owner is requesting the POD zoning be revoked and the underlying R-4, Two-family District zoning be restored. 2 BACKGROUND CONTINUED The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed PD-O request at its June 28, 2018, meeting and there were no registered objectors present. The Central High and Wright Avenue Neighborhood Associations and all property owners located within 200-feet of the site were notified of the public hearing.
