Bicycle Plan: South Ringo Street is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or proposed facilities in this area. Historic Preservation Plan: The site is adjacent to, and was previously a part of, the historic residences known as "Bush Row", which comprises homes originally built for members of the Bush family, a prominent African American family associated with the founding of the Mosaic Templars of America. John Bush (1856-1916) was widely acknowledged as one of the wealthiest Black men in Arkansas and a progenitor of the economic development and progress of Black American entrepreneurs. The subject site is the previous location of the A.E. Bush House, at 1516 S. Ringo Street. The A.E. Bush House was built in 1919 in the Craftsman style, designed by prominent local architecture firm Thompson and Harding, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The current property owner and applicant were notified of the significance of the structure on October 5, 2023. On May 7, 2024, the house was listed by Preserve Arkansas to its 2024 Most Endangered Places list. The Bush House was delisted in October 2024 following the demolition of the site. The Historic Preservation Plan advocates for the increased identification and recognition of Little Rock's historic resources and increased effectiveness and coordination with the review of development plans. Staff advocates that future proposed development of the site considers its potential adverse impacts to the surviving "Bush Row" residences within this historic setting. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant is proposing to rezone the property from R-4 to PD-R for a single- family residential development. The 7'.-)'x140' lot will be subdivided into two (2) separate lots, each being 37.5'040' in area. Each lot will contain a 2-story, single- family residence. The applicant will not reside at the property and intends to market both single-family residences for sale in the future. The site is just north of Gibbs Magnet Elementary School. Properties in the general area are a mix of R-4 and C-3 zoning. Each single-family residence will be 1225 square feet in area and will contain a separate concrete driveway extending from South Ringo Street. 5 FILE NO.: Z-10084-A(Cont.) Section 36-502(b)(1)(a) requires one parking space for each single-family residence. The site plan shows a 30-foot long concrete driveway extending from the South Ringo Street connecting to a gravel drive along the south side of each residence. The gravel drive will lead to a 20-foot deep gravel parking area adjancet to the rear of each residence in the rear yard. Staff feels the parking is sufficient to serve the proposed use. The site plan shows a front and rear setback of over twenty-five (25) feet and five (5) feet side yard setbacks for both residences. A total separation of ten (10) feet is shown between each residence. The proposed residences shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height. The exterior of each residence will be vinyl siding with asphalt shingle roofing. No signage is proposed at this time. Any future signage must comply with Section 36-551 of the City s Zoning Ordinance (signs permitted in residential one — and two — family zones). To Staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this application. Staff believes the proposed development is an appropriate use for this property. Staff feels the proposed development will not be out of character with the development pattern in the area. Properties in the general area contain a mixture of residential zoning and uses with some properties containing a higher density than the proposed development. Staff believes the minor increase in traffic will not increase the overall traffic flow in the general area and will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding properties. I.
