H. 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."

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.
