Land Use Plan:
The request is in the Chenal Planning District, District 19. The Land Use Plan
shows Residential Low Density (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 for a Preliminary Plat.
Surrounding the application area is designated for Residential Low (RL) uses and
is characterized by single-family homes. An area designated for Park and Open
Space uses is shown bisecting the application from north to south along a creek
which encompasses the riparian areas abutting the creek.
This site is not located in an Overlay District.
Master Street Plan:
April 9, 2026
ITEM NO.: 1
FILE NO.: Z-2002-A
Carter 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. This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements. Carter Lane is a dead-end road and currently serves more than 30
residences as the sole route for ingress and egress.
Bicycle Plan:
Carter Lane is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or proposed
facilities in this area.
Historic Preservation Plan:
The application, as shown, should have no effect on identified historic resources.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant requests to subdivide five (5) acres into 23 lots for single family
residential development. The subdivision will contain 850 linear feet of new street.
The property contains an existing single-family residence located within the west
half of the property. The east half of the property is undeveloped and mostly tree
covered. A creek is located in the east half of the overall property. A driveway from
Carter Lane is located at the southeast portion of the property.
The applicant proposes to develop the subdivision in three (3) phases as follows:
Phase 1 - Lots 1-2 and Lots 21-23
Phase 2 - Lots 3-7 and Lots 16-20
Phase 3 - Lots 8-15
Lots 1 thru 8 and Lots 15 thru 22 will front on Old Cottage Lane which will run
east/west from Carter Lane, through the center of the overall property. Lots 9 thru
14 will take access from Old Cottage Cove, which runs north/south at the east end
of Old Cottage Lane. Lot 23 will take access from Carter Lane. The new streets
within this subdivision will have 45 feet of right-of-way and be constructed to minor
residential standards as per to the City's Master Street Plan.
The applicant is requesting two (2) variances with the proposed preliminary plat.
Section 36-254 (d)(1) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum 25-foot
front building setback for R-2 zoned lots. Section 31-256 of the City's Subdivision
Ordinance requires minimum street setbacks of 25 feet for corner lots. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a variance to allow Lot 23 with a 15-foot front setback
and Lots 1 and 22 with 15-foot street side setbacks, all along the Carter Lane
frontage. Staff supports the variance request.

April 9, 2026
ITEM NO.: 1 [Cont.
FILE NO.: 2-2002-A
Section 31-232 (e) requires a minimum lot width of 75 feet for residential corner
lots. Lots 1 and 22 have lot widths of 67.5 feet. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance to allow the reduced lot width. Staff supports the variance
request.
Stormwater detention areas will be located south of Lots 15-20 and east of Lots 8
and 15, between these lots and Old Cottage Cove. As of this writing, the applicant
is working to submit Engineering Analysis for Stormwater Drainage as required by
Section 31-90 of the code to the engineering divisions. Any issues with drainage
must be resolved prior to a Grading Permit being issued for the property.
The applicant has proposed two (2) possible future secondary access points for
the Carter Lane area. The first is located between Carter Lane and LaMarche Drive
through property owned by this same developer, via Derring Place located just
south of this property. The other possible secondary access will be extending the
proposed Old Cottage Cove roadway to the north and tying into Gooch Drive to
the northeast.
The Staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with the
proposed preliminary plat. Staff supports the preliminary plat with variances.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat, subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in paragraph D and E, and the staff analysis, of
the agenda staff report.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(February 12, 2026)
The item was deferred to the April 9, 2026 agenda at the request of the
applicant.
STAFF UPDATE:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat document to staff on March
23, 2026. The revised plat eliminates all of the previously requested variances.
The applicant has added tracts C and D along the Carter Lane frontage,
thereby making the Lots 1 and 22 interior lots and not corner lots. All of the lot
widths now conform to ordinance standards. All of the tracts within the
subdivision will be maintained by a POA. In addition, all of the lots now have
0
April 9, 2026
ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-2002-A
25-foot front platted building lines, eliminating the variance for reduced front
setbacks for Lots 1, 22 and 23.
Staff continues to support the proposed preliminary plat, as the plat has no
variances requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (April 9, 2026)
The applicant was present. There were four (4) persons registered in
opposition. Staff presented the item, it was taken off the Consent Agenda and
opined for discussion. Randy Riva, John Di Rippa, Ranona Riva, and Karen
Di Rippa voiced concerns over stormwater drainage, fire safety access, and
concerns about a secondary route out of the subdivision. The applicant, White
Daters and Associates, represented by Tim Daters, stated that the subdivision
will comply with the City's updated Stormwater Drainage Manual, the
subdivision will meet all Fire Code requirements in relation to egress from the
subdivision, and is asking for no variances. Mr. Daters also stated that the
subdivision has no plans to build any streets off of the proposed subdivision.
After brief discussion by the Planning Commission, a motion to approve was
made. There was a second. The motion passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 1 nay, 2
absent and 1 open position. The application was approved.

Cantrell Road is a Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. Principal Arterials are
roads designed to serve through traffic, and to connect major traffic generators or
activity centers within urbanized areas. The standard Right of way of 110 feet is
required. Sidewalks are required on both sides. Norton Road and Maywood Drive
are Local Streets 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.
These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements.

Cantrell Road is on the Master Bike Plan as a Proposed Class I Bike Path. Class I Bike
Paths are a route designated for the sole use of bicycles that is physically separated
from vehicular lanes. Norton Road and Maywood Drive are not shown on the Master

The application, as shown, should have no effect on identified historic resources.
The subject property consists of approximately 4.18 acres of developed land located
at 6 Norton Road and 18511-18521 Cantrell Road. The site contains four platted
tracts, each developed with a single-family residence, and has significant frontage
along three public streets: approximately 584 feet on Cantrell Road, 403 feet on
Norton Road, and 309 feet on Maywood Drive. The property is bordered on the east,
south, and west by existing single-family neighborhoods located on cul-de-sacs or
dead-end streets. A day care center is located east of the site across Norton Road.
Staff finds that the requested Land Use Plan amendment from Suburban Office (SO)
and Residential Low Density (RL) to Mixed Use (MX) is reasonable and appropriate
given the site's arterial frontage, surrounding land -use context, and access to existing
and planned multimodal transportation facilities. The Mixed Use (MX) category
provides for a mixture of residential, office, and commercial uses to occur. A Planned
Zoning District is required if the use is entirely office or commercial, or if the use is a
mixture of the three.
Cantrell Road is supported by established multimodal planning frameworks. The
Master Street Plan calls for a 110-foot right-of-way and sidewalks on both sides. The

Master Bike Plan identifies Cantrell Road as the location of a future Class I Bike Path,
which would provide dedicated, separated bicycle access along the corridor. Norton
Road and Maywood Drive are designated Local Streets and may require right-of-way
dedication or improvements as development occurs. These transportation facilities
support the feasibility of small-scale commercial or mixed -use development that
provides goods and services to nearby neighborhoods while maintaining access and
connectivity.
The proposed Mixed Use (MX) designation is consistent with development patterns
already present to the northeast and farther east along the corridor. MX areas in this
vicinity support a wide range of neighborhood -oriented commercial and residential
uses. The amendment would allow the site to function as a logical transition between
the higher -intensity commercial and office uses along Cantrell Road and the
Lower -density single-family neighborhoods to the south and west. The Highway 10
Design Overlay District provides an additional layer of design guidance to ensure
compatibility with surrounding residential areas.
The amendment is consistent with the development trends and land -use patterns
along the Cantrell Road corridor and the intentions of the Chenal Valley Planning
District. There are no identified historic resource concerns, and the concurrent
rezoning request (File No. Z-7880-C) allows coordinated review and ensures that
subsequent development will conform to applicable district and overlay standards.

The request is in Planning District 19, the Chenal Planning District. The
development principles of this district include developing facilities for all modes of
transportation and the preservation of greenways, open spaces, and significant
environmental features and systems. The Land Use Plan shows Residential Low
Density (RL) and Suburban Office (SO) for the application 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 Suburban Office (SO) category provides for low intensity
development of office or office parks in close proximity to lower density residential
areas to assure compatibility. A Planned Zoning District is required. The
application is for rezoning to Commercial.
To the east, south, and west of the application area are areas designated for
Residential Low Density (RL) uses and are characterized by single-family homes
and accessory buildings in developed subdivisions and a daycare center.
Northeast of the application area is area designated for Office (0) uses and is
characterized by office buildings, a rehabilitation center, duplexes, and single-
family residences. Farther east and northeast are areas designated for Mixed Use
(MX) uses and are characterized by a liquor store, restaurants, single-family
residences, and mobile homes. Northwest of the application area is area
designated for Residential Low Density (RL) uses and is characterized by single-

Lane. Class II Bike Lanes provides a portion of the pavement for the sole use of
bicycles. P Street is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or proposed
facilities in this area.
Historic Preservation Plan:
The subject site is the site of the House at 1701 N. University Ave. The house is
identified as ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places, potentially due
to extensive alterations. The house is in a potential district, though the houses that
immediately surround it have undetermined eligibility or are ineligible for the
National Register of Historic Places. As shown, should have no effect on identified
historic resources.
H. Analysis:
The applicant proposed to rezone the 0.15 acre property located at 1701 N.
University Avenue from R-2 to PD-O to allow an office use. The property is located
at the northeast corner of N. University Avenue and "P" Street. A paved alley is
located along the rear (east) property line.
The property contains a one-story frame single-family residence which is
approximately 1,253 square feet in area. A one -car wide drive from "P" Street
serves as access to the property and leads to a one car wide carport in the rear
yard area.
The proposed PD-O zoning is to allow the existing building to be used as an office -
type use. The applicant is proposing no changes to the property (building addition,
new fencing, off-street parking area, etc.). The applicant is proposing the following
uses and hours of operation for the proposed PD-O:
1. Proposed use:
a) Commercial office
b) Commercial medical related facility (medical, dental, optical
clinic/medical walk in clinic (not emergency room services).
c) Commercial real estate office
d) Commercial type of businesses
2. Proposed business hours for the commercial zoning shall be:

The applicant notes that the proposed use of the property will include a maximum
of eight (8) staff members at any given time. The applicant is proposing to utilize
two (2) off -site parking spaces along the "P" Street right-of-way.
Staff does not support the rezoning of the property as an office use. Staff has the
following concerns:
1. The proposed parking will not be sufficient to serve the proposed use.
2. No handicap parking is proposed.
3. The proposed on -street parking along "P" Street will be located relatively
close to the intersection of "P" Street and N. University Avenue.
4. There are no sidewalks along either street frontage.
5. The site plan does not show ADA access from the building to the right-
of-way.

Planning Division:
Land Use Plan:
The request is in Planning District 8, the Central City Planning District. The
development principles of this district include strengthening the existing
development and better defining single-family and non-residential use areas by
neighborhood oriented commercial uses. The Land Use Plan shows Residential
Low Density (RL) for the application 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 for a Replat.
Immediately surrounding the application area are areas designated for Residential
Low Density (RL) uses and are characterized by single-family homes interspersed
with duplexes and a dry-cleaner. One block to the north and south of the
application area are areas designated for Public/Institutional (PI) uses and are
characterized by the Dunbar Elementary School, the Dunbar Recreation Center,
and three faith -based institutions.
This site is not located in an Overlay District.
Master Street Plan:
South Ringo Street 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. This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may
require street improvements.
Bicycle Plan:
South Ringo Street is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or proposed
facilities in this area.
Historic Preservation Plan:
The site is adjacent to, and was previously a part of, the historic residences known
as "Bush Row", which comprises homes originally built for members of the Bush

family, a prominent African American family associated with the founding of the
Mosaic Templars of America. John Bush (1856-1916) was widely acknowledged
as one of the wealthiest Black men in Arkansas and a progenitor of the economic
development and progress of Black American entrepreneurs.
The subject site is the previous location of the A.E. Bush House, at 1516 S. Ringo
Street. The A.E. Bush House was built in 1919 in the Craftsman style, designed by
prominent local architecture firm Thompson and Harding, and listed in the National
Register of Historic Places in 1984. The current property owner and applicant were
notified of the significance of the structure on October 5, 2023. On May 7, 2024,
the house was listed by Preserve Arkansas to its 2024 Most Endangered Places
list. The Bush House was delisted in October 2024 following the demolition of the
site.
The Historic Preservation Plan advocates for the increased identification and
recognition of Little Rock's historic resources and increased effectiveness and
coordination with the review of development plans. Staff advocates that future
proposed development of the site considers its potential adverse impacts to the
surviving "Bush Row" residences within this historic setting.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to replat a 0.26 acre parcel into two (2) lots to allow a
single-family residence on each lot. The property is comprised of the north half of
Lot 8 and all of Lot 9, Block 281, Original City of Little Rock.
Currently, there are two (2) single-family residences being constructed on the site.
The residences conform to the R-4 zoning criteria. After replatting , the residences
will continue to comply with the R-4 zoning standards (building setbacks, height,
etc.).
The two (2) lots will have lot sizes as follows:
Lot 8A — 37.42 feet (average) x 139.96 feet
5,237 square feet
Lot 8B — 37.42 feet (average) x 139.96 feet
5,237 square feet
The applicant is requesting three (3) variances with the proposed replat. Section
36-256(d)(4) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum lot width of
seventy (70) feet and a minimum lot area of seven thousand (7,000) feet.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting variances for reduced lot width and reduced
lot area.

The applicant was present. There were (3) people registered in opposition. Staff
presented the item; it was taken off the Consent Agenda and opened for
discussion. Morgan Weithman, Mia Foreman, and Kathy Wells voiced concerns
about the requested variances altering the character, context, and intensity of the
neighborhood, the development being against the Downtown Master Plan and the
zoning intensity. They also voiced concerns about the 2023 demolition of the Bush
House previously located on the property and this development not being sensitive
to the remainder of Bush Row. After some discussion from the Planning
Commission, there was a motion to approve the application. The motion passed
by a vote of 6 ayes, 2 nays, 2 absent and 1 open position. The application was

the undeveloped tracts along S. Bowman Road, the east boundary of the
subdivision. The Brodie Creek Property Owners Association owns six (6)
undeveloped tracts of land along S. Bowman Road.
The property is undeveloped and wooded.
The applicant provided the following information for this project:
"Land north and west of corner of Bowman Rd. and Brodie Creek Trail is currently
a wooded tract of land, used as a green space, and owned by the Brodie Creek
Property Owners. The POA has entered into an agreement with The Towers, LLC
to develop a Wireless communication Facility pretty much in the middle of the
woods. This will provide great screening of the facility while providing improved
wireless communication options for all in the surrounding community. The site is
designed and will be constructed for multiple wireless users as required by City
Code. This application for amendment will include multiple users to house
equipment within the area depicted on included drawings."
"The Bill of Assurance does allow for this use on the property. The POA has signed
an agreement with The Towers, LLC providing their approval of the use of the
property. The site is designed to be pushed up into the woods with a long and
curved driveway off Bowman Rd. in order to break the line of site to the antenna
site. This provides fully mature natural screening that is in place now to shield
views of the site from surrounding properties."

The applicant provided the following information with respect to the project:
"The concept for this community provides residential units, either detached
or attached, that benefit from shared, common open space rather than
private yards. This shared open space would provide opportunities for
socialization and enjoyment that is more beneficial for the residents.
The residential units are being intentionally designed and sited to provide a
transition from public space (shared common open space) to semi-public
(porches) to semi -private (living and dining areas) to private (bedrooms and
bathrooms).
The arrangement of buildings, pedestrian circulation, vehicular circulation,
parking, essential services, and support facilities creates an efficient but
innovative use of the land. it is expected that the project could have multiple
phases, and the project phasing will ensure the balanced and coordinated

transportation, the preservation of greenways, open spaces, and maintaining
residential neighborhood integrity. The Land Use Plan shows Residential Low
Density (RL) for the application 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

This site is not located in an Overlay District.
Master Street Plan:
Kingsrow Drive 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. This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements.
Bicycle Plan:
Kingsrow Drive is not shown on the Master Bike Plan with existing or proposed

The applicant proposes to rezone the property from R-2 to PCD to allow for a
mixture of uses on the site. The applicant proposes continued use of the main
structure as a single-family residence, with two (2) accessory structures, one (1)
being utilized as a short-term rental-1 and the other a small event space.

ITEM NO.: 20 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-10236-A
In addition to the continued use of the principal structure as a single-family
residence, the applicant proposes the following for the accessory structures:
"The purpose of this request is to allow for two small-scale, low impact uses on the
property: a short-term rental treehouse and a greenhouse event space."
"The treehouse is approximately 400 square feet and is designed to accommodate
a maximum of two guests for short-term rental stays. Parking will be limited to one
to two vehicles, with designated parking located at the rear of the property, as
shown in the submitted exhibits."
"Additionally, the property includes a 400 square foot greenhouse that will be used
for small gatherings and events. The greenhouse will have a maximum occupancy
of eight people, and events will not exceed six hours in duration. This space will
not be used for overnight accommodations. Parking for greenhouse events will
also be limited to two vehicles and will be located at the rear of the property. The
driveway can accommodate up to four vehicles in total."
"To ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, no loud noise will be
permitted at either he treehouse or the greenhouse."
"These uses are intended to remain low in intensity, with minimal traffic and limited
occupancy, while preserving the character of the neighborhood."
While staff has no issues with the single-family residence with an STR-1, staff
cannot support the use of the second accessory structure as an event space. Staff
believes that this use is too intense for a single-family lot. All the surrounding
properties to the north, east, and west are zoned R-2, with single-family residences
fronting on Kings Row Drive.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the proposed PCD rezoning.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to rezone the property from C-3 to PCD to allow a mixed
residential, office and commercial use of an existing developed property. The
property is located at the northwest corner of W. V Street (Boone Street) and S.
Summit Street. W. 2"d Street runs along the north property line.
The property contains a six (6) story building within the west half of the property.
Paved parking (79 spaces) is located south and east of the existing building.
The applicant proposes commercial uses on the building's first floor, office uses
on the sixth floor, and thirty-six (36) apartment units on the middle four (4) floors.
The applicant provided the following information about the project:
"The Property consists of approximately 0.85 acres and is improved with an
existing six story building that is currently utilized for office and light
warehouse purposes. The surrounding area includes a mixture of office,
commercial, and residential uses, making the site well -suited for a
thoughtfully integrated mixed -use redevelopment."
"Saxion Enterprises, LLC proposes to redevelop the existing structure into
a mixed -use building consisting of office, commercial, and residential
components. The top floor will remain office space; the first floor is proposed
for light commercial use; and the middle four floors will be converted to
residential use. In connection with this redevelopment, the applicant is also
requesting a variance to permit 36 residential units."
"The proposed PCD designation will allow the City to tailor development
standards to the specific characteristics of the Property and the surrounding
neighborhood, while ensuring compatibility with adjacent uses. The
adaptive reuse of the existing structure will enhance the vitality of the area,
providing additional residential opportunities in proximity to established
commercial and office services."

ITEM NO.: 21 Cont. FILE NO.: Z-10282
The applicant provided information with respect to use of the building's first floor:
"C-3 permitted uses are requested as a use -mix for the first floor. Saxion
Enterprises, LLC currently expects the first floor to house a Pilates studio
and a spa. The first floor may also include a small cafe. At this time, Saxion
Enterprises expects there to be, at most, one restaurant -type establishment
on the property."
The property contains approximately seventy-nine (79) off-street parking spaces.
Section 36-502 of the City's Zoning Ordinance typically requires fifty-four (54)
parking spaces for thirty-six (36) residential units. Parking is allowed along both
sides of W. 2"d Street, along the property's north boundary. With the limited
restaurant -type use of the building's first floor, staff believes the existing parking
will be sufficient to serve the proposed use mix.
Any new sight lighting must be low-level and directed away from adjacent
properties.
All signage must conform with Section 36-555 of the City's Zoning Ordinance
(signs allowed in commercial zones).
Any dumpster on the site must be screened as per ordinance requirements.
Staff is supportive of the requested PCD zoning. The existing C-3 zoning would
allow all of the requested office and commercial uses, but only thirty (30) apartment
units (based on the acreage). The PCD zoning is only requested to add six (6)
apartment units to what would be allowed by right today.

development of sixteen (16) single-family homes on sixteen (16) individually
platted lots. The project will include eleven (11) detached single-family homes and
five (5) townhouses in two (2) structures. The proposed site plan shows a buildable
area for each of the detached homes and building footprints for the townhomes.
The property is comprised of five (5) parcels of land. The parcels include all or part
of eleven (11) platted lots. The property is currently undeveloped and partially tree
covered. The west portion of the property can be accessed via S. Commerce
Street, with the east portion having access from E. 23rd Street.

The applicant provided the following information regarding the configuration of the
property:
"Five (5) of the exiting platted lots within this development area are
landlocked as the result of the City authorizing additions to the City that
immediately adjoin the platted lots and without requiring direct street access
or other provisions for access. Duval's Addition was platted in 1872. Braggs
2nd Addition, which is immediately to the east of the subject property, was
platted in 1920. Fulks Subdivision of Rapley's Estate, which is immediately
adjacent to the south of Duval's Addition, was platted prior to 1943, and
Rapley's Estate was most likely platted prior to 1885. The result of these
adjoining additions was that the landlocked lots were rendered
undevelopable under modern standards, unless creative solutions are
applied. Cottage court developments are not a new concept, and when
paired with Little Rock's planned zone development, they present the best
possible path to provide for development of the subject property."
The applicant also provided the following description of the project:
"The residential development will include the construction of eleven (11)
detached single family homes and five (5) town homes. Each structure will
be on a separate platted lot. The homes will be constructed using an asphalt
shingle roof and clad siding or brick veneer.
Two homes will face Commerce Street reflecting the existing development
pattern along Commerce. These two homes will have a minimum setback
of fifteen (15) feet from the property boundary along Commerce. Between
those two homes there will be a celebrated entrance into the courtyard. The
celebrated entrance will double as a fire access lane, permitting greater
access for fire protection and emergency services from the western extent
of the property.
On the eastern edge of the property, there will be a parking lot with thirteen
(13) parking stalls on the east, and the drive lane on the west of the paved
area. Five (5) town homes will be constructed to the west of the drive lane,
and four (4) of the five (5) town homes will have garages that load from the
drive lane. The townhomes are to be clustered as one two -unit and one
three -unit building. A walk path will cross from the drive lane to the courtyard
between the two (2) townhouse buildings, and the curb of the drive lane
adjoining the walk path will be designated as a fire lane to provide access
for fire protection and emergency services from the eastern extent of the
property. The drive lane will have a width of not less than twenty feet (20)
and will connect to 23rd Street.

April 9, 2026
ITEM NO.: 22 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-1
Trash service will be provided via an enclosed dumpster to be accessed via
the drive lane from 23rd Street. Mail for the units facing Commerce Street
is to be received by mailbox affixed to the structures. Mail for the remaining
units is to be received by a cluster mailbox near the parking lot on the
eastern end of the subject property.
Upon approval of this PRD, the two (2) owners will convey their interests to
a single separate entity for the purpose of site development. The common
areas of the development -fire lane adjoining Commerce Street, interior walk
paths and shared green, parking area accessed from 23rd Street, and
dumpster service will be conveyed upon site completion to a Property
Owners Association, Property Owners Improvement District, or similar legal
entity for the purpose to perpetual maintenance."
The fire department typically requires a minimum access driveway width of twenty
(20) feet. To accomplish this, the driveway from E. 23,d Street will need to be closer
than five (5) feet from the property lines. The applicant will need a variance from
Section 30-43, as explained in paragraph D. of the staff report. The variance can
be granted by the Planning Director or the Planning Commission. Staff supports
the variance request.
Any site lighting must be low-level and directed away from adjacent properties.
Any signage must comply with Section 36-551 of the City's Zoning Ordinance
(signs permitted in one- and two-family zones.)
Any fences or walls erected must comply with Section 36-516 of the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
Staff is supportive of the requested PD-R zoning. Staff believes that the applicant
has done a good job in proposing a development on lots that were platted 100
years or more ago. Within the overall development there are five (5) platted lots
that are virtually landlocked. Staff feels that the proposed development will have
no adverse impact on surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested PD-R zoning, subject to compliance
with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and E, and the staff
analysis, of the agenda staff report.
