5 Building Design Standards
5.1 Purpose and Intent
The Building Design Standards for the CPO shall establish a coherent urban character and
encourage enduring and attractive development. Site and/or building plans shall be
reviewed by the Administrator or designee for compliance with the standards below (see
Table 5-1 for more detail).
The key design principles establish essential goals for the redevelopment within the Plan
Area to be consistent with the vision for Cedar and Pine Streets to become vibrant area that
serves a range of commercial, civic, educational and residential uses benefitting the
neighborhood and the region. Buildings shall be located and designed so that they provide
visual interest and create enjoyable, human -scaled spaces. The key design principles are:
(a) New and redeveloped buildings and sites shall utilize building and site elements and
details to achieve a pedestrian -oriented public realm with appropriate glazing,
shading, and shelter;
(b) Design compatibility is not meant to be achieved through uniformity, but through the
use of variations in building elements to achieve individual building identity;
(c) Strengthen and celebrate the history of Little Rock and 12th Street neighborhoods;
(d) Building facades shall include appropriate architectural details and ornament to
create variety and interest;
(e) Open space(s) shall be incorporated to provide usable public areas integral to the
urban environment; and
(f) Increase the quality, adaptability, and sustainability in the neighborhood's building
stock.

6 Street Design Standards
October 11, 2014
6.1 Purpose and Intent: The Vision for the CPO recognizes the importance of providing adequate
public infrastructure, which includes an ultimate Street Network of multi -modal streets, and
other needed infrastructure to serve the vision for redevelopment within the Plan Area.
Street design and connectivity is envisioned to support and balance automobile, bicycle, and
walking trips in addition to becoming the "civic" space for development. The "civic" nature of
streets will not only serve private redevelopment, but the community at large and the people
who live in and use it. This section establishes Context Sensitive Solutions for street design and
connectivity.
6.2 Street Designation Categories: In order to service multiple modes of transportation within an
appropriate redevelopment context, streets within the CPO Plan Area are designated under
two major categories:
(a) Street Classification: The Street Classification designation establishes standards for the
actual cross-section of the street itself. The Street Classification includes information on
automobile, bicycle, pedestrian, and parking accommodation. It typically addresses the
space allocation within the public right-of-way and its emphasis towards different
modes of transportation. Table 6-1 identifies the Street Classification designations
within the Plan Area and provides cross -sections for the different Street Classifications.
6.3 Street Standards: Table 6-1 shall establish standards for all elements within the public right-
of-way including travel lane(s), on -street parking, bicycle accommodation,
streetscape/parkway standards, and sidewalk standards. The standards in the City's
Subdivision Regulations shall apply to the extent that they do not conflict with the standards in
these Attachments and the Illustrative Vision for the CPO. Landscaping within the public right-
of-way shall be per standards in Section B. Attachment 6 provides recommended cross
sections for public streets within the Plan Area based on available right-of-way and intended
development context per the Illustrative Vision.

7.2
7.3
October 11, 2014
The approach to Open Space facilitates the implementation of the Illustrative Vision for the
redevelopment of the Plan Area. This vision for redevelopment is based on the City of Little
Rock's goal to connect their already extensive range of recreational and cultural locations with
new trails, pocket -parks, and plazas. The Open Space approach recognizes that in an urban
infill context, the establishment of unique standards is required to ensure quality open spaces
that serve both recreational and placemaking goals of the Illustrative Vision.
Open Space Classification: For the purposes of this Overlay, all urban open space shall fall
into one of the following two (2) major classes.
(a) Public Open Space: Open air or unenclosed to semi-unenclosed areas intended for
public access and use. These areas range in size and development and serve to
complement and connect surrounding land uses and code requirements.
(b) Private Common Open Space: A privately owned outdoor or unenclosed area, located
on the ground or on a terrace, deck, porch, or roof, designed and accessible for outdoor
gathering, recreation, and landscaping and intended for use by the residents,
employees, and/or visitors to the development.
Open Space Requirements
(a) All non-residential development shall provide 4.0 sq.ft. of Public Open Space or Private
Common Open Space for every 100 sq.ft. of non-residential space or fraction thereof.
This standard shall only apply to all site plans 2 acres in size or larger.
(b) All residential development within the CPO shall meet the Private Common Open Space
standards established in this Section. Table 7-1 establishes the private common open
space requirement based on the proposed intensity of residential development.
Residential projects numbering less than eight (8) dwelling units are not required to
provide private common open space.

8 Streetscape and Landscape Standards
October 11, 2014
8.1 Sidewalks. Public sidewalks are required for all development under this code and shall meet the
standards of Table 6-1 and shall be based on the Street Classification per Attachment 6. The
minimum sidewalk width requirement shall apply regardless of the available right-of-way. If
necessary to meet the required sidewalk width, the sidewalk shall extend onto private property
to fulfill the minimum requirement, with a sidewalk easement provided. Sidewalks shall consist
of two zones: a planting zone located adjacent to the curb, and a clear zone (see Figures 8-1).
(a) Planting Zone: The planting zone is intended for the placement of street trees, if
required, and street furniture including seating, street lights, waste receptacles, fire
hydrants, traffic signs, newspaper vending boxes, bus shelters, bicycle racks, public utility
equipment such as electric transformers and water meters, and similar elements in a
manner that does not obstruct pedestrian access or motorist visibility (see Figure 8-1).
(b) Clear Zone: The clear zone shall be hardscaped, shall be located adjacent to the
planting zone, and shall comply with ADA and any local accessibility standards and
shall be unobstructed by any permanent or nonpermanent element for the required =
minimum width and a minimum height of eight (8) feet (see Figure 8-1). Accessibility is
required to connect sidewalk clear zones on adjacent sites.
(c) Fee In -Lieu Option: An applicant may opt to pay a proportional fee in -lieu for the
required sidewalk if the development project is phased or the sidewalk improvements
need to match the timing of a programmed City capital project affecting that street
frontage.
