underground structure, conditional letter of approval from FEMA, parking lot elevation to
allow storm events above the 100 year to pass without endangering the building and
dedication of a drainage easement to contain the floodway. No development was
proposed for Lot 4 and the site remains undeveloped.
Ordinance No. 19,578 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on

for one lot and a small restaurant with drive through service was proposed for the
second lot. The two (2) lots were to share a common drive and parking area. All
driveways on the site were to be included in a cross access easement.
Lot 4A was proposed containing 3.7-acres, 184 parking spaces, 18,375 square feet of
building coverage and a maximum of three (3) stories and 55,125 square feet of
building area. The site plan included the option for placement of a pick-up window on
the eastern end of the building. Lot 4B was proposed containing 1.4-acres, 67 parking
spaces and 4,300 square feet of building area. The use was proposed as a restaurant
with drive through service. The applicant requested a waiver of the screening
requirement for the order menu boards.

Mr. Tim Daters of White Daters and Associates was present representing the
request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were few
outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff stated in addition
to the preliminary plat approval the applicant was requesting a revocation of
an existing PCD zoning and the rezoning of the site to C-3, General
Commercial District.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a dedication of right of
way to 55-feet from centerline was required with the final platting of the lots.
Staff stated the base flood elevations were shown to be below the bottom of the
ditch and the majority of the channel upstream and downstream were shown to
be in the floodway. Staff requested the applicant provide a hydraulic study to
show the new base flood elevation and confirm the stream would remain within
the channel at the time of requests for a grading permit. Staff stated a number of

Rock Region Metro stated the site was not currently served by METRO but was a
part of the future West Little Rock express service route. Staff requested the
applicant provide a continuous pedestrian path along Chenal and adjacent to
Arkansas Systems Drive to provide safe pedestrian access to the site.
Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies.
Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with
any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion.
The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing the
technical issues raised at the March 16, 2016, Subdivision Committee meeting.
The applicant has provided the right of way dedication along Chenal Parkway.
The applicant has also indicated prior to the request for a grading permit a
hydraulic study to show the new base flood elevation and to confirm the stream
would remain within the channel would be provided.
The request is for preliminary plat approval to allow the creation of two (2) lots
from this 5.11 acre parcel. The lots are proposed in the same configuration as
previously approved through the PCD, Planned Commercial Development, and
site plan approval. Lot 4A is proposed containing 3.3-acres and Lot 4B is
proposed with 1.4-acres. The applicant has indicated all building setbacks and
heights will comply with the typical setbacks and building heights as allowed per
the C-3, General Commercial Zoning District.
The request includes a variance from Section 36-341 to allow vehicle parking
over the box culvert and in the floodway. The request also includes a variance
from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of the entire site with
construction of the proposed box culvert and creek relocation, as per the
approved 404 permit. The variances were approved with the previous request
for the PCD zoning and will be completed in accordance with the approval of City
staff and the Corp of Engineers.
The request includes a variance from Sections 30-43 and 31-210 to allow the
drive on Arkansas Systems Drive nearer the property line than typically allowed
per ordinance. The ordinance typically requires driveways on commercial streets
to be constructed 125-feet from the adjacent property line. The drive as
indicated is 10-feet from the property line. Staff is supportive of the driveway and
the placement due to the location of other drives on Arkansas Systems Drive and
staff does not feel there will be any conflicting movements from adjacent
properties if constructed as proposed.

revocation of the existing PCD zoning and the rezoning of the site to C-3,
General Commercial District (Z-6051-K). The lots as proposed comply with the
typical development standard of the requested zoning district. To staffs
knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with
the request. Staff feels the preliminary plat as proposed is appropriate for the
site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
Staff recommends approval of the variance request from Section 36-341 to allow
parking over the box culvert and in the floodway.
Staff recommends approval of the variance requests from Sections 30-43 and
