Construct one-half street improvements to Elmwood St. including 5-foot sidewalks with planned development. The new back of curb should be placed 15.5 ft from the centerline of the roadway. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the requested rezoning. 11 July 10, 2025 ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-10154 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MAY 8, 2025) The item was deferred to the July 10, 2025 Planning Commission meeting at the request of the applicant. STAFF UPDATE: The applicant submitted a revised site plan and additional information to staff. The revised plan and additional information addresses most of the technical issues raised by staff and noted in the staff "Analysis" above. As of this writing, staff is waiting on the applicant to submit written approval from the fire department regarding drive widths, radius of roundabout, etc. Staff does not support the requested PD-R zoning. Staff does not feel that the proposed use is appropriate. Staff's main objection is to the transient nature of the use. The proposed use is most similar to a traditional mobile home park, and staff questions the viability of the proposed use. The front (north) portion of the property is zoned C-3 and designated as "C" commercial on the City's Future Land Use Plan. Staff believes that a commercial development would be most appropriate for this property which fronts a principal arterial roadway. Staff continues to recommend denial of the requested rezoning. PLANNING COMMISOIN ACTION: (JULY 10, 2025) The applicant was present. There were (5) objectors present. Jennie White, Hugh Edward Woodward, Ron Carter, and Evelyn Holmes voiced concerns over the inconsistencies in the information provided, questions of duties for the property management, what type of tiny homes would be considered as tiny, having a liquor store across the street, and the negative effects of a previous trailer park in that location, as well as being homeowners to the adjacent proposed property. Theodore Holmes deferred. After a lengthy discussion there was a motion to withdraw the application at the request of the applicant. There was a second. The vote was (8) ayes, (0) nays and (3) absent. The motion passed. The request to withdraw the application was approved. 12 July 10, 2025 ITEM NO.: 3 FILE NO.: S-1963 NAME: King's Crossing Phase 1 - Preliminary -Plat LOCATION: Southeast of the south end of Copper Drive DEVELOPE Layman Lane 6, LLC 12521 Kanis Road Little Rock, AR 72211 OWNER/AUTHORIZED AGENT: Copper Run 6, LLC - Owner Joe White and Associates, Inc. - Agent SURVEYOR/ENGINEER: Joe White and Associates, Inc.

The applicant provided responses and additional information to all issues raised during staff's review of the application. To staffs knowledge, there are no outstanding issues. The applicant is not requesting any variances with this application. Staff is supportive of the requested conditional use permit to allow a multi - sectional, manufactured home on the property.

Staff feels that a multi -sectional, manufactured home will not be out of character in this area of the city that contains relatively large tracts of land in the general area. Some of the properties in the general area appear to contain manufactured homes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested conditional use permit to allow a multi -sectional, manufactured home, subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the manufactured home minimum siting standards as noted in Section 36-254(d)(5) of the City's Zoning Ordinance. 2. Compliance with the comments and conditions noted in paragraphs D, E, and F, and the staff analysis, of the agenda staff report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 10, 2025) The applicant was present.

Planning Division: The request is in the 65th Street West Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows RL for the requested area. The Residential Low Density (RL) category provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes but may also include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remains less than 6 units per acre. The application is to revise the existing Planned Development -Residential (PD-R) for Phase 2. Surrounding the application area on the north are single family homes on large tracts. To the east of the subject site is a large partially wooded tract. South of the site are single family homes, duplexes, and a four-plex in a Planned Development — Residential district. Across Honeysuckle Lane on the west is a large undeveloped wooded tract. This site is not located in an Overlay District. Master Street Plan: Honeysuckle Lane is a Local Street on the Master Street Plan. Local Streets are roads designed to provide access to adjacent property with the movement of traffic being a secondary purpose. The standard Right -of -Way is 50'. Sidewalks are required on one side.

July 10, 2025 ITEM NO.: $ Cont. FILE NO.: Z-9121-B lots to be developed as single-family residences similar to Phase 1. The development represents a continuation of the existing PD-R to the south of the proposed site. The three (3) newly created lots will be for sale. All remaining aspects of the previously approved planned development will remain unchanged. Subject property is surrounded by residential zoning and uses in all directions. The proposed dimensions for each newly created lot will be similar to Phases 1 & 2, utilize the same access, contain similar elevations, setbacks and construction materials approved for Phases1 & 2. The plan does not show parking for the residential development. All parking must comply with Section 36-502 of the City's zoning ordinance which requires one (1) parking space per dwelling unit. The applicant did not provide a signage plan at this time. All signage must comply with Section 36-551 of the City's zoning ordinance (signs permitted in residential one- and two-family zones). All sight lighting must be low-level and directed away from adjacent properties. Staff is supportive of the application. The proposed development is located in an area of similar and more dense residential properties. The proposed revision of Lot 9 from a single, one (1) acre lot, creating three (3) separate lots represents only a minor increase in density within the area. Most properties south of the proposed site contain more dense residential use. Although there will be a minor increase in traffic, staff feels the proposed revision will have no adverse impact within the area. Most of the properties to the north and east of the site remain undeveloped. Properties to the south and west of the site contain PD-R zoning and uses. The applicant is not requesting any variances with this application. To staffs knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this application.
