Staff further informed the applicant that they could not gravel this area as it was city right of way and not the applicant's property. On March 23, 2026, staff was informed that the area had been graveled for parking. Staff is not supportive of the requested PD-C zoning. The proposed STR-2 application has not provided an accurate parking plan indicating off-street parking. Furthermore, the one proposed parking spot outside the renovated garage is also in the right of way. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the PD-C.

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."

Commerce Street, with the east portion having access from E. 23rd Street. M June 11, 2026 ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont. LE NO.: Z-10283 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. 5 June 11, 2026 ITEM NO.: 6 {Cont. FILE NO.: Z-10283 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. 23rd 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. 11 June 11, 2026 ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.)

Four (4) townhomes will be constructed to the west of the drive lane that runs north from 23rd Street. All the townhomes (O, P, Q & R) will have driveways and garages that load from the drive lane. The townhomes are to be clustered as three or four unit buildings. A walk path will cross from the drive lane to the courtyard between two (2) of the 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. Each townhome will be required to contain at least a one -car garage, and an additional parking area is available behind each garage. Townhomes A-F each have sixteen (16) foot driveways. All other townhomes are connected to drive lanes by driveways of a length not less than twenty (20) feet in length. Accordingly, the planned development provides on -site parking for forty-two (42) vehicles. Trash service will be provided via an enclosed dumpster to be accessed via the drive lane from Commerce 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. 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 and cluster developments are not a new concept, and when paired with Little Rock's planned zone development code, they present the best possible path to provide for development of the subject property. 0 June 11, 2026 ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.

ANALYSIS: The applicant requests to revise the previously approved PCD for Tract B only, to allow mixed commercial and multifamily building and associated parking. Tract B is currently undeveloped. Some site work has taken place in preparation of new development. The applicant proposes to construct a four (4) story building with the east half of the property. The building will be approximately 42,000 square feet in area. A 0 June 11, 2026 ITEM NO.: 8 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9257-B paved parking area containing approximately 186 parking spaces will be located along all sides of the building. A driveway from Village Run Parkway at the northwest corner of the site will serve as access to the development. The applicant is proposing C-3 permitted uses for the first floor of the building, with 40 multifamily residential units on the upper three (3) floors. A condition placed on the original PCD eliminated convenience stores, liquor stores and pawn shops as permitted uses. The applicant provided the following information for the project: Tract B, Village at the Gateway, a ±2.4-acre mixed -use pad located at the northwest corner of Vimy Ridge Road and Village Run Parkway. This tract sits directly across Village Run Parkway from the Village at Whispering Valley residential community and is intended to serve as the commercial and residential anchor for that neighborhood. A summary of the proposed use follows. Proposed Use A single four-story mixed -use residential development situated on the east side of the tract, fronting Vimy Ridge Road, with surface parking wrapping the north, west, and south sides. The ground floor is designed to provide much -needed commercial options along the Vimy Ridge corridor that will serve both the adjacent Village at Whispering Valley community and the broader Vimy Ridge trade area, which is currently underserved by this type of commercial offering. The upper three floors contain residential units above the ground floor commercial, adding housing to the corridor and activating the streetscape throughout the day. The building is positioned to address both the Vimy Ridge corridor and the Village Run Parkway streetscape, creating a walkable, pedestrian -friendly edge between the development and the residential community to the west. Site Summary Legal description: Tract B, Village at the Gateway (an addition to the City of Little Rock) Site area: ±2.4 acres Frontage: Vimy Ridge Road (east) and Village Run Parkway (north) Building: One (1) four-story mixed -use building (ground -floor commercial with residential above) Parking spaces: Approximately 186 surface spaces (as shown on site plan) �47 June 11, 2026 ITEM NO_: 8 (Cont. FILE NO.: Z-9257- Parking is distributed around the building in perimeter bays with landscape islands and pedestrian connections to the building entrances. Access, Streetscape & Common Elements Primary vehicular access to the site is taken from Village Run Parkway along the north frontage, with all drives, curb cuts, and fire -apparatus access configured per the attached plan. Landscape buffers are provided along both street frontages. The Village Run Parkway frontage is treated as part of the broader parkway streetscape being developed in coordination with the Village at Whispering Valley community, which includes placemaking elements such as pocket seating areas, landscape features, common gardens, and decorative fencing. The Tract B streetscape will tie into that character along the shared edge. The proposed building is designed to be compatible with the existing PCD in architectural character, materials, height, and site organization. Building placement and orientation have been planned to maintain internal connectivity, preserve established circulation patterns, and support pedestrian access within the development. Importantly, all public roads requiring dedication within the PCD have already been dedicated, and all necessary utility mains serving the site have been approved and installed. The requested buildings will connect to the existing, approved infrastructure without requiring new public right-of-way dedications or off -site utility extensions. As such, we do not anticipate adverse impacts to surrounding streets or municipal services. All site lighting must be low-level and directed away from adjacent properties. If a dumpster is placed on the site it must be oriented away from the adjacent streets and screened as per ordinance requirements. Any signage placed on the site must comply with Section 36-555 of the City's Zoning Ordinance (signs permitted in commercial zones). Staff is supportive of the Revised PCD for Tract B. Staff feels that the proposed development is reasonable and appropriate for the area. Staff believes that the development of Tract B will be compatible with the overall Village at the Gateway/Village at Whispering Valle development, as well as the general area. 10 June 11, 2026 ITEM NO.: 8 (Cont.

The development principles of the district include ensuring that roads are improved in a manner that are supportive of all modes of transportation (walking, cycling, automobile, public transit and truck) and encourage commercial concentrations at major intersections of arterial streets. The Land Use Plan shows Commercial (C) for the application area. The Commercial (C) category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they serve. To the north and west of the application area, along Kanis Road, are areas designated for Commercial (C) uses and are characterized by an industrial structure. East of the application area are areas designated for Residential Medium Density (RM) and Residential Low Density (RL) uses and are characterized by an apartment complex and a gas station convenience store. South of the application area is area designated for Residential High Density (RH) uses and is characterized by an apartment complex. This site is not located in an Overlay District. Master Street Plan: Kanis Road is a Minor Arterial on the Master Street Plan with an Alternative Design standard. Minor Arterials are high volume roads designed to provide the connections to and through an urban area. Curb cuts should be minimized to allow for continuous traffic flowwhile still allowing some access to adjoining property. Deceleration Lanes are required. Standard Right-of-way (ROW) is 90 feet.

C! June 11, 2026 FILE NO. (Cont.): A7355 H. ANALYSIS: The area requesting annexation is contiguous to the City of Little Rock's municipal boundary along its eastern and northern edges. A petition for annexation was filed with the Pulaski County Court on April 14, 2026, in accordance with Arkansas Code § 14-40-409. The Arkansas Geographic Information Systems Office (AGIO), in a letter dated March 12, 2026, confirmed that the annexation request meets all requirements outlined in Arkansas Code § 14-40-101. The petition qualifies as a 100% annexation under Arkansas Code § 14-40-609, as all property owners have signed the request. The Pulaski County Judge's Order verifying the annexation findings was filed on April 30, 2026, establishing the boundary of the proposed incorporation area. The annexation area consists of approximately 6.5 acres of partially cleared land outside the City's corporate limits. The property was formerly within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), which was repealed in August 2025 following enactment of Act 314. As a result, the City no longer exercises zoning, land use, or infrastructure authority beyond city limits. However, comprehensive plans — including the Land Use Plan and Master Street Plan —remain in effect and will apply upon annexation. Land Use & Zoning The subject area is designated as Commercial (C), which includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they serve. Surrounding land uses include higher density apartment complexes, a gas station, a pet spa, and single-family subdivisions. Infrastructure & Services Kanis Road, a Minor Arterial with Alternative Design standards, may require right-of-way dedication, deceleration lanes, and half -street improvements. The Public Works Department estimates the required half -street improvements at approximately $350,000 for the property's Kanis Road frontage. The Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority (LRWRA) states that any sanitary sewer needs generated by future development will be the responsibility of the property owner, with plans subject to LRWRA review and approval. No comments were received by from Central Arkansas Water, Entergy, Summit Utilities, AT&T, the Fire Department, or the Police Department. 5 June 11, 2026 FI LF NQ._(CQnWLA_-355_ The nearest Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority (LRWRA) facility is a 8" sewer Linea pproximateLy80 feet from the subject area. The nearest Central Arkansas Water (CAW) facility is a 6" water line directly adjacent to the subject area in the northern right-of-way of Kanis Road. As part of the development of any land within the annexation area, the developer will have to extend these services from the existing service lines to any new development in coordination with CAW and LRWRA. The nearest fire station is Station 20 at 300 Oak Meadow Drive, approximately 0.64 miles from the closest annexation area utilizing the existing street system. The current patrol district for the Little Rock Police Department adjacent to this area is approximately 3.774 acres. The annexation would increase the patrol district by 0.17 percent. The proposed annexation of the 14118 Kanis Business Park property is consistent with the City's long-range planning goals and represents a logical extension of the municipal boundary. Annexation will allow for the orderly provision of municipal services and infrastructure, and the development of the site for commercial use will contribute to the growing needs of commercial services in a growing area of west Little Rock. The Staff recommends approval of annexation and incorporation of the land into the City of Little Rock. 0 June 11, 2026 ITFM Nn_: 28.1 NAME: Plunkett Mixed -Use - PCD (Reestablishment) LOCATION: 14118 Kanis Road DEVELOPER: Pinnacle Hotel Group 119 South Izard Street, Suite #200 Little Rock, AR 72201 OWNER/AUTHORIZED AGENT: Barbara Plunkett - applicant ENGINEER: Joe White and Associates 25 Rahling Circle Little Rock, AR 72223 FILE NO.: Z-9878-B AREA: 6.5084 acres NUMBER OF LOTS: 1 FT.
