VARIANCE/WAIVERS: A variance from Section 36-522(b)(4)(a)(2) to allow a

BACKGROUND:
The Little Rock Planning Commission approved a multiple building site plan for this
development on October 7, 2004. The development contained 6.75-acres of 1-2, Light
Industrial District zoned property and was proposed as an "upscale" boat and
RV storage facility. The development was proposed in three (3) phases. The first
phase included the clearing, grading and fencing of approximately 2.0 acres in the
southwest corner of the property. This area was to be used as a storage and lay down
area for construction equipment and materials. The owner/developer was to construct a
temporary privacy fence along the southern property line to screen the adjacent R-2,
Single-family district zoned property.

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.
FILE NO.: S-1456-A
Phase 2 of the development was to consist of the grading and clearing of the remaining
4.75-acres and to construct (73) enclosed boat and RV storage units. All paving and
drainage was to be constructed during the second phase. In the third phase, the
developer proposed to construct (97) enclosed boat and RV storage units, completing
the project.
The proposed storage buildings were proposed as metal buildings, with all doorways
facing to the interior of the project. All fencing was to be chain link or ornamental iron
with a maximum height of eight (8) feet. All driveways and entrances were to be
concrete or asphalt as per City ordinances. The southern building setback and land use
buffer were indicated at 44.5-feet.
Six (6) of the buildings have been constructed. The previously approved site plan
allowed for the construction of four (4) additional buildings.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATFMFNT-
The request is to revise the previously approved Subdivision Site Plan for this
multi -building site. The applicant is proposing to construct additional buildings in
phases as previously proposed. Building I is proposed as the first building and
the future buildings will be phased based on market demand. The original site
plan included a buffer on the south property line to protect the then residentially
zoned property (44.5-feet). That adjacent site is currently zoned PCD and shown
on the future land use plan as Mixed Office Commercial. In light of the current
zoning and future land use designation the applicant is requesting to reduce the
land use buffer to 25-feet which matches the building setback of the 1-2, Light
Industrial Zoning District.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The northern portion of the site has developed with buildings being used for
storage as previously proposed. There is vegetation located near the southern
property line. The remainder of the site was cleared with the initial construction.
The area to the east is zoned PD-I and the area to the west is Gator Park, zoned
1-2, Light Industrial District. The area to the south is vacant and currently zoned
PCD — Expired. To the north of the site is the Arkansas Highway and
Transportation Department. Other uses in the area include residential and
non-residential uses. There are single-family homes and an open air boat and
RV storage facility located to the northeast of the site, across Baseline Road.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (September 16, 2015)
Mr. Thomas Pownell was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the item stating there were few outstanding technical issues in need
of addressing related to the site plan. Staff stated the required building setback
per the 1-2, Light Industrial Zoning District was 25-feet. Staff stated the site plan
as presented encroached into the 25-foot typically required setback. Mr. Pownell
stated the setback would be adjusted to comply with the setback per the zoning
district. Staff also questioned if any modifications were proposed from the
previous approval regarding building square footages or building heights.
Mr. Pownell stated all other aspects except reducing the land use buffer along
the southern perimeter would remain the same.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated right of way dedication
along Baseline Road to 55-feet from centerline was required. Staff stated
stormwater detention would apply to the development of the property. Staff
stated a grading permit was required prior to any construction activity.

Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated to allow the reduced
southern buffer would require a variance approved by the Planning Commission.
Staff questioned if the rear of the buildings would serve as the required
screening. Mr. Pownell stated to use the rear of the buildings as the required
screening was preferred by the developer.
Staff noted the comments from the various other agencies. There were no more
issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full
Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
There were few outstanding technical issues in need of addressing raised at the
September 16, 2015, Subdivision Committee meeting. Mr. Pownell has provided
a site plan which indicates the entire development and included a building
setback along the southern perimeter of 25-feet. The revised site plan also notes
a request for a reduced buffer along the southern perimeter of the site.
The original approval allowed the development of nine (9) buildings containing a
total of 91,600 square feet of storage space. The current request is to add
35,480 square feet of storage space to the site which currently contains
47,485 square feet of storage space. With the current application the total space
is being reduced by a little over 8,600 square feet.
The request includes a variance from Section 36-522(b)(4)(a)(2) to allow a reduced
rear yard buffer. The ordinance states land use buffers are to be provided when
industrial sites abut a site with any use or zoning except industrial. The
ordinance typically requires the buffer to be a minimum of six (6) percent of the
average depth of the property no less than nine (9) feet with a maximum width of
50-feet. Based on the depth of the property a land use buffer of 44.5-feet is
required. The applicant is seeking to reduce the buffer to 25-feet. Staff is
supportive of the buffer as proposed.
Ordinance No. 20,839 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February
11, 2014, modified Section 31-13(f) of the Little Rock Code to limit the term of
approval of a site plan to a maximum of three years from the date of approval. If
an approved multi -phase development, has not been completed within three (3)
years of the date of approval the site plan must be reviewed and reapproved by
the Commission in the same manner as the initial site plan review.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. Staff does not feel the buffer as
proposed will adversely impact the development or the area. To staff's
