Staff presented the item stating there were few outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the site plan. Staff stated they would work with the applicant to resolve any concerns prior to the item being considered by the Commission. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. 3 May 17, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1815 ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan and cover letter to staff addressing most of the technical concerns from the April 25, 2018, Subdivision Committee meeting. The request is for Subdivision/Multiple Building Site Plan Review as per Section 31-13 of the Little Rock Code of Ordinances. The property is zoned C-1, Neighborhood Commercial. The property has an auto repair business and a new modular building has been placed on the site to allow for general merchandise retail sales. A and B Marketplace is requesting approval to allow the 12-foot by 40-foot building on the property to remain. The site contained a two (2) story 2,032 square foot building built in the mid-1960's currently being used as auto repair. The auto repair has been operated from the site for 20+ years. The second building on the site is a 12-foot by 40-foot building located near Frazier Pike along the western boundary. The plan includes the placement of asphalt parking adjacent to the new building. There appears to be an area for two (2) parking spaces. Based on the use of the building as general retail (1 parking space per 300 gross square feet of floor area) one (1) parking space would typically be required to serve the use. The applicant is proposing to place wall signage on the building. The sign is proposed consistent with signage allowed in commercial zones or a maximum of ten (10) percent of the fagade area. The sign is proposed along the north facade. A smaller banner is proposed on the front of the building. This sign is located without street frontage. No ground sign is proposed for the development. Staff recommends should ground signage be requested in the future the sign height and area comply with signage allowed in commercial zones or a maximum of 36-feet in height and 160 square feet of sign area. The applicant indicates no fencing is proposed for the development. Staff recommends should fencing be desired in the future the fence height and location comply with fencing as typically allowed in commercial zones. The site plan does not include the placement of a dumpster. The applicant notes all trash will be moved for the site and all boxes will be recycled. Should a dumpster be desired in the future the dumpster is to be placed as typically allowed in commercial zones and screened per typical ordinance standards. The building has been placed over a property line along the western perimeter. The applicant owns this lot as well. The site plan review will include both properties and the lots are now one (1) zoning lot. This will not require a replat of the property. 4 May 17, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.) _ FILE NO.: S-1815 The applicant is requesting a deferral of the required boundary street improvements to the abutting streets. The boundary street ordinance would require additional paving to Frazier Pike to an arterial standard. The applicant notes and staff agrees the cost of these improvements far exceed the cost of the improvements on the site. Staff is supportive of the requested deferral of the street construction improvements until additional buildings are placed on the site or until the site is redeveloped. 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 (3) 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. The applicant is seeking site plan review approval to allow the placement of the two (2) structures on the site. The buildings are currently set with proper setbacks to comply with the C-1, Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District. To staffs knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff feels the site plan as presented complies with the typical development standards of the Zoning District. J. 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 requested deferral of the street construction improvements until additional buildings are placed on the site or until the site is redeveloped. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MAY 17, 2018) The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present. Staff presented the item with a recommendation of 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.
