COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: This property is one of several commercial properties which front onto the west side of Chicot Road from Rebecca Drive south to the Chicot/Mabelvale Cut -Off intersection. The predominant land use in the area is single family. Single family homes are located in all four directions beyond the commercial strip along Chicot. Staff has identified 3 other off premises beer sales outlets with 2 blocks. If the issue for consideration is the number of alcohol sales outlets in the area, it appears that adding a fourth outlet within such close proximity is problematic. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and the SWLR United for Progress, West Baseline, Chicot, Legion Hut and the Rob Roy Way Neighborhood Associations. 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: No changes are proposed to the site. The property has sufficient paved parking to meet ordinance requirements for this 2,100 ± square foot retail store. 4.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (October 9, 2013) The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted there were few outstanding issues. The applicant was asked to provide proposed days and hours of operation. The Committee was informed that staff would provide a list of on -premises and off -premises alcohol related business located within 1,500 feet of the site. The Committee determined there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the full Commission. STAFF ANALYSIS: A one-story, 2,100± square foot commercial building occupies the C-3 zoned 0.4 acre tract located at 10,210 Chicot Road. The building is occupied by Best Price Food Mart. Paved parking is located on the north and east sides of the building. A conditional use permit is requested to allow beer sales. A CUP is required for a "food store under 5,000 square feet with sales of beer or wine" in the C-3 district (Ordinance No. 20,568 adopted April 13, 2012). The food store is proposed to operate Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. Staff reviewed this proposal and took into consideration the uses in the surrounding neighborhood. Since a neighborhood is referenced elsewhere in the code as the area within 1,500 feet of the site, staff looked specifically for any sites within that area which have on or off -premises alcohol sales. Additionally, staff looked at the proximity of the site to residential properties. Residential uses are located one lot to the west of the site, across Chicot Road to the east, and in general, in the larger area surrounding this site and the small number of commercial businesses located in the immediate vicinity. 3
