Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the replat would trigger
the requirement for right-of-way dedication and street improvements. Staff stated
these improvements would be to Jefferson Street and to West 12th Street. Staff
also requested the applicant remove the existing drives along West 12th Street
and both take access from a shared drive on Jefferson Street. The applicant did
not agree with this request. He stated the drives were functioning well for his
business and he would like to maintain the two drives. Staff suggested the
applicant contact Public Works staff to discuss alternatives.
Staff stated the proposed street improvements could qualify for an in -lieu
contribution and possibly a hardship in -lieu contribution. Staff stated if the
improvements were not substantial, a fifteen percent fee based on building
construction cost could be accepted.
Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies
suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification.
There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff addressing most of the issues
raised at the June 24, 2004 Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has
indicated a dedication of right-of-way along West 12th Street and Jefferson Street
as requested. The applicant has also indicated a desire to retain the driveway
locations along West 12th Street and Jefferson Street for proposed Lot 1 R and a
separate drive on Jefferson Street for proposed Lot 2R. The applicant is
requesting a deferral of required street improvements. The applicant is
requesting the improvements be tied to redeveloping of each individual lot and
the applicant is requesting an in -lieu contribution for the required street
improvements at the time of redevelopment. The applicant is requesting the in -
lieu be based on a fifteen percent of construction cost at the time of
redevelopment.
The applicant has contacted the Little Rock Fire Department concerning the
placement of a fire hydrant. The Fire Department has determined a fire hydrant
will not be required as a result of the proposed platting or redevelopment of the
site.
The applicant is requesting several variances from the Subdivision Ordinance to
allow the creation of the proposed lots. The applicant is requesting variances to
allow a reduced setback for the front, rear and side yard setback requirements.
The applicant is proposing a 4.6 foot side yard setback along the northern
property line of proposed Lot 2R. The applicant is requesting a 6 foot rear yard
2

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: G Cont. FILE NO.: S-1438
setback and a 18.2 foot front building line adjacent to Jefferson Street for
proposed Lot 2R. The indicated setbacks for proposed Lot 1 R are adequate to
meet the minimum requirement for C-3, General Commercial District zoned
property.
The applicant has indicated lot widths of 85 feet for proposed Lot 1 R and 55 feet
for proposed Lot 2R. The indicated lot widths are not adequate to meet the
minimum lot widths for C-3, General Commercial District zoned property or 100
feet. The indicated lot area for proposed Lot 1 R is 8,500 square feet and
proposed Lot 2R is 5,500 square feet. The typical minimum required lot area for
C-3, General Commercial District zoned property is 14,000 square feet.
Staff is not supportive of the proposed preliminary plat. Staff feels to allow the
creation of the lots as indicated will further exacerbate an existing problem of
parking. The applicant is requesting the preliminary plat to allow an expansion of
the existing church facility located on proposed Lot 2R. With the expansion of
the church there will be fifteen feet located to the south of the building available
for on -site parking. This is not adequate for a parking area and allow for backing
and turning around of vehicles. The church currently uses a vacant lot located
to the north of the site, which is zoned R-3, Single-family and an area located to
the west, which is also zoned C-3, General Commercial District. The vacant lot
is not paved and not zoned appropriately for parking by the church.
Staff feels the redevelopment of the site as proposed would be overbuilding the
site and the requested preliminary plat should not be approved as filed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the request.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(J U LY 15, 2004)
The applicant was present representing the request. There were no registered
objectors present. Staff presented the item with a recommendation of denial. Staff
stated if the Commission approved the request the site would not contain parking and
more specifically once the expansion was in place there would not be any land area
available for parking. Staff stated with the creation of the lot without parking the
Commission would be creating a variance in which the applicant would be required to
seek relief from the Board of Adjustment. Staff stated the applicant was also requesting
a waiver of street improvements to West 12th Street and to Jefferson Street.
The applicant stated they were a small church with a large number of low income
members. The applicant stated the church was a new church and their resources were
limited. He stated with the required street improvements and the building addition this
5

would create a financial hardship on the church therefore they were seeking a waiver of
the required improvements.
There was a general discussion concerning the proposed request. Commissioner
Rector questioned staffs objections. Staff stated the development was overbuilding the
site and would not allow for on -site parking. Staff stated they felt the applicant should
defer their request and revise the application to a planned development application.
Staff stated with the planned development process the lack of parking could be
addressed. Staff also stated the planned development would not require variances with
regard to building setbacks.
After a discussion with the applicant by the Commission the applicant agreed to a
deferral. A motion was made to defer the item to the August 26, 2004 Public Hearing.
The motion carried by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 Recuse (Chairman
Mizan Rahman).
STAFF UPDATE:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing most of the issues raised
at the July 15, 2004 Public Hearing. The applicant has indicated the placement of 21
on -site parking spaces shared between the two lots. The applicant has also requested
the application be amended to a Planned Commercial Development.
The applicant has indicated the proposed uses of the site will include the development
of a church on proposed Lot 2R and a commercial business on proposed Lot 1 R. The
applicant is requesting C-3 uses as alternative uses for the site.
The proposed site plan does not include the placement of landscaping on the site. The
applicant has indicated due to the limits of the site landscaping would be an extreme
hardship and reduce the number of parking spaces. The applicant has also indicated
the rear yard of the existing building does not allow for the placement of the minimum
landscaping required and the applicant is proposing to match the exiting eastern
building line. Staff is supportive of this request. The applicant has indicated there will
not be any doors or windows located on the eastern side of the building which will act as
their screening.
Staff is supportive of the applicant `s request to amend the site plan to a Planned
Commercial Development to allow the creation of this two lot plat. The required
setbacks are established as approved by the Planning Commission and the Board of
Directors therefore variances are no longer required.
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the conditions
outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the above report.
