Planninq Division: No Comments, STAFF ANALYSIS: Friendship Aspire Academy proposes to develop a middle school campus on this subject property located generally north of Vernon Estates Drive, east of Chicot Road. The project narrative from the applicant is as follows: "Friendship Aspire Academy, which currently has an elementary school at 3615 W 25th street, will serve 6ch - 8th graders. The site is approximately 11.9 acres on Vernon Estates Drive, east of the 9100 block of Chicot Road. The site is the location of a former city housing project that has since been demolished. The site is directly to the north of the Fairfield residential subdivision and west of the Fairfield Cove residential subdivision. The site can be accessed from Chicot Road via Vernon Estates and the entrance is currently gated. Current zoning of the property is R-2 and R-3. We are seeking CUP approval for the site to allow for the proposed school building. The proposed improvements are as follow: 1. Construction of a single story 36,430 sf middle school for 61h _ 81h grades with associated parking. The project will consist of a cafeteria, an administration wing, a gymnasium and two, classroom wings. The school is planned to serve 300 students. June 25, 2020 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 Cont.1 FILE NO_: 7-9514 2. There will be 12 classrooms in addition to lab, admin and parent services spaces, art and music rooms and special education breakout rooms. There will also be a cafeteria, a gymnasium, building service spaces and associated parking as well as a sand, volleyball court, half -court basketball and outdoor classrooms. 3. Construction of an interior drive will serve as drop off and pickup of students for both parents & busses and will allow for car stacking to be on site. 4. The site will meet the current Landscape Ordinance requirements since the cost of the renovations will exceed 50% of the replacement value of the building. 5. A fence, security gate & guard shack will be incorporated around the perimeter. The main access will be at Vernon Estates drive. 6. Dumpster and loading services are on the north end of the site and will be screened as required by city ordinance. 7. Existing water mains and sewer lines as well as their easements from the previous subdivision will be abandoned and new utilities will be brought to the building. 8. The planned opening date is December of 2021." The proposed school building will be brick masonry construction, with store front - type windows and precast concrete accents. The building height will not exceed 30 feet. The proposed building will be located over 180 feet from the overall property boundaries. The building height and setbacks conform with ordinance standards. There is one (1) lot immediately east of the proposed school building which is owned by the City of Little Rock and is not part of this application. Access to this site will be from Acorn Place to the east. An entry sign and flagpoles will be located near the southwest corner of the site. All signage will conform with the ordinance requirements for office zoning (Section 36-553 of the code). This is typical for school and church uses throughout Little Rock. A dumpster area is located near the northeast corner of the proposed school building. The dumpster area will be screened as per ordinance requirements. The applicant notes that all site lighting will be low-level and directed onto the site and away from adjacent residential property. June 25, 2020 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 Cor;t. FILE NO,: Z-9514 The applicant notes that the school development will be done in one (1) phase. The eastern and northern portions of the overall property will be used as green space and maintained by the school. The proposed plan designates areas within the green space for existing vegetation to remain. The applicant also notes that the old existing platted lots and rights -of -way within the overall property boundary will be abandoned prior to redevelopment. Staff is supportive of the requested conditional use permit to allow redevelopment of the property as a middle school campus. Staff views the request as reasonable. The proposed school development should prove to be a good "transition use" between the single family neighborhoods to the east and south and the commercial developments to the west and north along Chicot Road and Baseline Road. The proposed school development will be a quality redevelopment of the old multifamily site. Staff believes the new middle school campus will be compatible with the neighborhood and have no adverse impact on the area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested conditional use permit, subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the conditions as found in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the agenda staff report. 2. Abandonment of the underlying platted lots and streets must be completed prior to the issuance of grading and building permits. 3. Any site lighting must be low-level shielded and directed away from adjacent properties. 4. The dumpster area located on the site must be screened as per ordinance standards, and serviced only during daylight hours. 5. Staff also recommends the following conditions as a result of the traffic study: a. Vehicular traffic dropping off or picking up students shall not stop, wait or delay other vehicular movements, block driveways of adjacent properties, and/or form vehicular queues at any time on Chicot Rd or Vernon Estates Dr. Should queuing occur on any of these streets, the 10 June 25, 2020 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO-.' ?

School agrees to have their Traffic Engineer present at the opening day of school and subsequent days as necessary, to monitor the school traffic and identify any traffic problems/issues or potential traffic problems/issues during times of school pick-up and drop-off. When problems/issues are identified, corrective measures should be taken to address those problems/ issues c. Should conditions warrant for orderly flow of traffic around the school, school agrees to hire, at no cost to the City of Little Rock, off -duty police officers, as required, to execute the Traffic Control Plan at key, identified locations around the school and adjacent to the school with in the public right-of-way . d.

FILE NO.: Z-9276 Rock, off -duty police officers, as required, to execute the Traffic Control Plan at key identified locations around the school and adjacent to the school in the public right-of-way. (g) It will be the responsibility of Garland Charter School to install any school flasher warning system, if desired.

The item was placed on the consent agenda and approved as recommended, including all staff comments and conditions. The vote was 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. December 14, 2017 ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) _FILE NO.: Z-9276 The building contains twenty-three (23) classrooms, cafeteria/kitchen, administration offices, restrooms and miscellaneous support spaces. All mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems will be replaced and brought up to code. Restrooms will be remodeled to meet current ADA code. An elevator and accessible entrances to the building and playground will be added. There are no new additions planned for the building. The building is being placed on the National Register of Historic Places and will be preserved according to the Secretary of the Interior Guidelines. Landscaping will be improved to meet code compliance since the proposed renovations will exceed 50% of the replacement value of the building. The existing playground area will be repaired and playground equipment replaced. The site contains a paved parking lot with single driveways on Maple Street and West 24t" Street. The parking and drives will be repaired, seal -coated and restriped. Much of the site is enclosed by a 6 — 8 foot tall chain link fence. Portions of the fencing will remain, primarily enclosing the playground and outdoor use area. The fencing will be repaired and replaced as needed. The service area is located on the south side of the building. Any dumpster will have to be screened to comply with code requirements. Due to the proximity of residential properties, servicing of the dumpster should be limited to 7:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A single ground -mounted monument style sign is proposed to be placed near the main entrance to the building. The sign will comply with the size and height allowed in office and institutional zones. Wall signage may be placed on the building facades with direct street frontage. 605y-P. 6 7+ �•S� Nro�� •��, All site lighting is to be low-level and directional, aimed downward and into the site. The bulk of the site is unplatted, with no bill of assurance. A portion of the site is in Everett Addition. The 1912 plat/bill of assurance does not address use issues. The concept of reusing the Garland School building and site for a K — 5 elementary school seems appropriate to staff. The building was operated as an elementary school for nearly 80 years. The primary issue of concern with this current application is traffic impact. Going from a traditional public school with bus service for the majority of students to a charter public school with no bus service raises the possibility of traffic impact on the streets in the surrounding neighborhood. As the time of this writing, a traffic impact study was being prepared. Staff will be prepared to address the issue at the public hearing. C.
