ANALYSIS' The applicant is requesting that the 9.02 acre property at 1300 Centerview Drive be replatted, creating two (2) lots. The proposed Lot 1 R is comprised of 7.91 acres and contains the existing Arkansas Urology/Arkansas Prostate Cancer Center development. The proposed Lot 2R contains 1.11 acres and is currently undeveloped. The entire 9.02 acre property is zoned POD Planned Office District. The area of the proposed Lot 2R was approved as Phase 2 parking for the Arkansas Urology development. When a new development is proposed for Lot 2R, the POD zoning will need to be revised, including Planning Commission and Board of Directors review and approval. The applicant is requesting one (1) variance with the proposed replat. Section 31-231 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance reads as follows: "Every lot shall abut upon a public street, except where private streets are explicitly approved by the planning commission." The proposed Lot 2R does not front on a public street. The applicant is proposing an access easement (23.5 to 24 feet wide) to serve Lot 2R. The access easement will run from Centerview Drive, through the existing parking lot, to Lot 2R. The applicant notes the following with respect to the access easement: "Since the current property has access to a public street but the subdivided lot will not, an access easement to the subdivided property will be included in the replat. Should an adjacent property owner purchase the subdivided lot and create new access to lot, the access easement will then be vacated upon approval." M June 25, 2020 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 FILE NO.: S-1876 To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed replat. The creation of a second lot within this overall property will have no adverse impact on the general area. The development of Lot 2R will require that the POD zoning for the overall site be revised, to include a site plan and proposed use(s) for the new lot. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed replat, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraph E. of the agenda staff report. Staff also recommends approval of the requested variance to create a lot which does not abut upon a public street. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 25, 2020) The applicant was present. There were no persons present registered in support or opposition. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff recommendation" above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda and approved as recommended by staff, including all staff comments and conditions.
