BACKGROUND:
FT. NEW STREET: 1400
On January 25, 2001, the Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat to
subdivide 58.46 acres into 15 non-residential lots located at the southeast corner of
Colonel Glenn Road and 1-430. The property was zoned R-2 however, the Board of
Directors approved a rezoning for the site by the adoption of Ordinance No. 18,418 on
January 16, 2001, zoning the site to C-3 (35.8 acres) and 0-3 (22.66 acres).
The proposed plat included easements for shared driveways for the proposed
commercial lots and a new street (Remington Drive 880 linear feet of street) to serve
the office lots within the southern portion of the property. The applicant indicated the
lots would be final platted based on market demand.
On October 31, 2002, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a revision to the
previously approved preliminary plat to increase the total area and the number of

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 1 Cont. FILE NO.: S-1301-F
proposed lots. With the approval, the total area was increased to 68.38 acres and the
number of available lots increased to 22.
On May 21, 2002, the Little Rock Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 18,686
rezoning 10.92 acres to 0-3.
On October 21, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 18,967 rezoning
13.23 acres of the site from C-3 to C-4 for an automobile dealership (Lot 1).
On July 20, 2004 the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 19,142 establishing
Value Place Short -form PD-O containing 3.59 acres.
Final Plats have been executed for Lots 1, 12, 14, 15 and 19 and these lots have been
sold to various property owners. Developments have been constructed on four of those
five lots. These indicated lots are not proposed for modifications or changes.
A. PROPOSAL:
The applicant is now proposing a further modification to the previously approved
preliminary plat in the form of a "lot split" of proposed Lot 8. The lots are
indicated with 1.04 acres and 1.06 acres and the proposed plat indicated a
25-foot building line adjacent to Talley and Remington Roads. All other aspects
of the previously approved preliminary plat are to remain unchanged.
As separate items on this agenda the applicant is requesting the development of
proposed Lot 20 through a rezoning to PD-C (item 14 — File No. Z-6957-G) and a
variance from the Land Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of several of the
proposed lots without a development plan (Item #25 - File No. LA-0006).
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site has been leveled and graded with basic infrastructure in place. Colonel
Glenn Road, Remington Road and Talley Road have been constructed with curb,
gutter and sidewalk. The site is currently zoned C-4, C-3, 0-3 and PD-O and
adjoins 1-430 to the west and Talley Road to the south and east. Colonel Glenn
Road is the northern boundary. Hotels exist on Lots 12 and 19 and Remington
College has been constructed on Lot 14. An automobile dealership has been
developed on Lot 1.
Other uses in the area include the Clear Channel Metroplex to the north and a
mixed development of commercial and industrial uses to the northeast.
Scattered single-family homes exist along the east side of Talley Road in a very
rural setting.
C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
As of this writing, Staff has not received any comment from area residents. The
John Barrow Neighborhood Association, the Stagecoach Dodd Neighborhood
Association and all abutting property owners were notified of the Public Hearing.

criteria for the current 0-3 Zoning District. Staff requested Mr. McGetrick provide
the source of title of the landowner and the names of owners of any landlocked
parcels abutting the plat area.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the indicated access
easement should be shared between the proposed lots.
Staff then introduced Item 14. Staff stated the request was a rezoning from C-3,
General Commercial District to PD-C to allow proposed Lot 20 to develop with a
body shop and used car center to serve the adjoining new car dealership. Staff
stated there were concerns with the site plan stating the site plan included
parking which was backing into the access and utility easement. Staff stated
typically this was prohibited and requested Mr. McGetrick remove the proposed
parking. Staff also stated all proposed signage would need to be addressed
since the lot did not have public street frontage and no signage would be allowed
without approval by the Planning Commission and Board of Directors. Staff
stated this did include any proposed building signage. Staff questioned the
general note stating equipment sales was the proposed use of the site.
Mr. McGetrick stated the use was after market automobile accessories. Staff
suggested he more clearly define the proposed use on the site plan.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated no backing of vehicles
into the service easement would be allowed. Staff also stated a grading plan
would be required prior to development of the proposed site.
Staff then introduced the applicant's request for a variance from the Land
Alteration Ordinance to allow advanced grading of the site. Staff stated the
developer was requesting to grade Lots 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 and 22 without a
development plan. Staff stated the developer had indicated the site development
was necessary to get the sites ready for pads for future lot sales. Staff stated
they had concerns with the request. Staff noted the requirements that would be
required if the request was approved such as protection of buffers, seeding and
sodding and landscaping of the proposed terraces.
Staff noted water and wastewater comments and suggested the- applicant
contact the specific agencies for additional information. The Committee
determined there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the full
Commission for final action. The applicants were advised to respond to staff
issues by April 26, 2006.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing the issues
raised at the April 20, 2004, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has
provided the source of title of the landowner and has indicated there are no

landlocked parcels within or abutting the proposed plat area. The applicant has
also indicated the access easement between the proposed lots as a shared
access.
The proposal is a modification to the previously approved preliminary plat in the
form of a "lot split" for proposed Lot 8. The lots are indicated with 1.04 acres and
1.06 acres. The indicated lot area is more than adequate to meet the 14,000
square foot minimum lot area requirement for property zoned 0-3. The
proposed plat indicates a 25-foot building line adjacent to Talley and Remington
Roads. The indicated building line is also adequate to meet the typically
minimum ordinance standard.
Staff is supportive of the proposed revision to the previously approved
preliminary plat. The applicant has indicated the proposed lots to meet the
typical minimum standards of the Subdivision Ordinance and no waivers or
variances of lot development standards are being requested. All other aspects of
the previously approved preliminary plat are to remain unchanged. To staffs
knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the request. The
splitting of the lot as proposed should have minimal impact on the adjoining
properties.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

compliance with the conditions outlined in Paragraphs D, E and F of the above
staff report.
