Approval of the Ordinance.
The applicant is proposing to rezone a total of 2.2 acres
from 0-3 & POD to PD-C to allow for the construction of a
4-story, 50,220 square foot hotel containing ninety-seven
(97) guestrooms located between 1222-1226 Kaufman
Road.
The proposed site is currently undeveloped and located to
the west of I-430, South of Kanis Road. Properties in the
general area contain commercial and office uses in all
directions.
The proposed hotel building will be located well over forty
(40) feet from all property lines. The proposed building
will have a height of fifty-five (55) feet. All proposed
building setbacks and building height conform with
ordinance standards.
BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
The site plan shows thirty (30) foot wide access drives
located at the north and south ends of the property
extending from Kaufman Road. The applicant must
provide cross access easements to adjacent properties for
the proposed driveways along the west property line.
Parking spaces are shown on all sides of the building with
most of the parking spaces located behind the building. The
applicant is proposing one hundred twenty-two (122) total
parking spaces located on the site. Section 36-502(b(1)(f)
of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of one
hundred -six (106) parking spaces. Staff feels the parking
provided is sufficient to serve the use.
The applicant did not provide a signage plan at this time.
Any future signage must comply with Section 36-555 of the
City's Zoning Ordinance (signs permitted in commercial
zones).
The site plan shows the dumpster area located along the
south property line. The dumpster area must be screened
and comply with Section 36-523 of the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
On July 11, 2024, the Planning Commission voted
8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent, as part of the Consent Agenda,
to approve the PD-C rezoning. There were no objectors
present.
All owners of property located within 300 feet of the site
and all neighborhood associations registered with The City
of Little Rock were notified of the public hearing.

record for the complete staff analysis.
