Rivers Architecture to construct and operate a new church facility at 236 Whittington
Avenue, which is located in a C-TR zone. Mr. Stauder stated that it was staff’s
recommendation to approve the item with the following conditions, because with said

accordance with Development Plan and all approval conditions and with the minimum
standards, codes, rules, regulations and policies as may now or hereafter be required or

professional engineered stamped drawings for review and approval by the Hot Springs

3.
The applicant has an affirmative responsibility to demonstrate on-going

subject property, according to the following standards:

Site Plan Approval Request (SPA-15-0147) – Home 2 Suites by Hilton –
Article II Large Scale Development Site Plan Review – 106 Catalina Circle – C-2
Zone District
Chairman McGrew asked for a motion and second to bring the item to the floor for
discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner White and seconded by Commissioner
Koppel.
Chairman McGrew asked Mr. Stauder to introduce the item. Mr. Stauder stated that this
request was for site plan approval of a new Home-2-Suites by Hilton Hotel that would be
located at 106 Catalina Circle off of Route 7 South. Mr. Stauder stated that the applicants
had previously received a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment to build at a
floor-area-ratio that was higher than what was typically permitted by the C-2 Zone
District (67% vs. 60% restriction). Mr. Stauder stated that it was staff’s recommendation
to the Planning Commission to approve the item with the following conditions, because
with said conditions the application meets all of the minimum requirements set forth in
Hot Springs Code:
1.)
The development site shall be constructed/developed in strict accordance with the
approved site and development plan, including, but not limited to, location of buildings,
drives, parking, landscaping and utilities; and
2.)
All construction and construction activity are to be accomplished in strict
accordance with all applicable approval conditions and with the minimum standards,
codes, rules and regulations and policies as may now or hereafter be required or enacted
by the City of Hot Springs, the State of Arkansas, and/or the United States of America,
including the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code, whether or not submitted for staff review
or Planning Commission approval; and
3.)
Separate permit applications shall be made by applicant to Hot Springs
Engineering Department and permits shall be in-hand for stormwater, drainage, and
sidewalks, as may be required, prior to any work beginning.
4.)
Applicant shall obtain written verification from RJN and Crist Engineers that
there is adequate water and wastewater capacity for the proposed development and if
there is not adequate capacity in pressure, agree to make any improvements to the water
or wastewater system that may be required.
5.)
Obtain approval from the City and the Arkansas Health Department for the
design of the water and wastewater mains and the duplex wastewater pumping station
and agree that the pump station will be designed and built to city standards.
6.)
No construction shall begin on the project until all the above issues are resolved
to the satisfaction of the City of Hot Springs.
Applicant Parth Patel, representing VIPA Hotels, Inc. was present at the hearing with
Project Engineer Aaron Burroughs of AB Engineering, Inc. to answer any questions from
the Commissioners. Mr. Patel stated that he was excited to bring a hotel to Hot Springs
and that he understood and would comply with the six conditions set forth by staff. Eddy
Strawn, of 123 Butler Lane, stated that he owns adjacent property to the subject property
and has been parking on Mr. Patel’s land for several years. Mr. Strawn stated that he had
offered to purchase from Mr. Patel the strip of land that he parks on and Mr. Patel refused
to sell and if the Commission could do anything about that. Chairman McGrew stated
that that was a civil matter and if Mr. Patel did not wish to sell the property, he was not
forced to do so; and that the Commission could not get involved in such matters. With no
further discussion from the Commissioners, a motion was made by Commissioner White
and seconded by Commissioner Koppel to approve the item along with staff findings and
recommendations.
Roll Call on Motion to Approve; APPROVED:
Ayes: Chairman Richard McGrew, Commissioner Brian White, Commissioner
John Mark Lewis, Commissioner Wayne Thomason, and Commissioner Charles
Smith.
Absent: Commissioner Helen Oliver, Commissioner Harold Koppel, and
Commissioner Hilarie Dzianott;
Nayes: None.
3. Re-Zoning (RZ-15-0214) – 251 Hobson Ave Re-Zone – Zoning change request
from R-4 to C-TR on approximately 0.1 acre tract – 251 Hobson Ave
Chairman McGrew asked for a motion and second to bring the item to the floor for
discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner John Lewis and seconded by
Commissioner Thomason.
Chairman McGrew asked Mr. Stauder to introduce the item to the Commission. Mr.
Stauder stated that this was a rezone request for an approximately 0.1 acre tract at the
south east corner of Hobson Avenue and Linwood Avenue. Mr. Stauder stated that the
property was currently zoned residentially despite several businesses having been located
there over the last 100 years. Mr. Stauder stated that it was staff’s recommendation that
the Planning Commission recommend the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance
amending the future land use map designation for the subject property from Residential
Medium/High to Commercial Enclave, and that the Planning Commission recommend
the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance amending the zoning map designating the
subject property C-TR Commercial Transitional instead of R-4 Medium/High Density
Residential due to the fact that the requested change demonstrates compatibility with
surrounding development and zoning and responds to a significant change in the
surrounding physical and land use conditions of the area.
Karolyn Fankhauser, representing the property owner, was present at the hearing to
answer any questions from the Commissioners. Ms. Fankhauser stated that the property
was currently boarded up and secured, but vacant. No one was signed up to speak in
favor or against this item. The public hearing portion of the item was closed and the floor
was opened up for Commissioners to discuss. Commissioner Thomason stated that he
was in favor of finding a tenant for the building, taking off the boards and getting it
occupied. A roll call on the motion to approve the item was conducted by Ms. Wise.
Roll Call on Motion to Approve; APPROVED:
Ayes: Chairman Richard McGrew, Commissioner Brian White, Commissioner
John Mark Lewis, Commissioner Wayne Thomason, and Commissioner Charles
Smith.
Absent: Commissioner Helen Oliver, Commissioner Harold Koppel, and
Commissioner Hilarie Dzianott;
Nayes: None.
4. Re-Zoning (RZ-15-0265) – Burrough & Horn Re-Zone – Zoning change request
from R-2 to C-3 for the two properties – 211 & 215 Carpenter Dam Rd.
Chairman Richard McGrew asked for a motion to approve the item with staff findings in
order to bring it to the floor for discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner Koppel
and seconded by Commissioner White to bring the item to the floor.
Chairman McGrew asked Mr. Stauder to introduce the item to the Commission. Mr.
Stauder stated that this was a rezone request for an approximately 3 acre tract across from
Alliance Rubber Company on Carpenter Dam Road. Mr. Stauder stated that the property
was currently zoned residentially despite the Future Land Use Map showing the area
becoming a commercial corridor, and the presence of several commercial enterprises in
the vicinity of the subject property. Mr. Stauder stated that it was staff’s recommendation
that the Planning Commission recommend the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance
amending the zoning map designating the subject property C-3 Office/Neighborhood
Commercial instead of R-2 Suburban Residential due to the fact that the requested
change demonstrates compatibility with surrounding development and zoning and that
the proposed change is consistent with the objectives of the zoning code.
Applicant Brian Gehrki, of Gehrki Real Estate, was present at the hearing to represent the
property owners. There were no questions from the Commissioners regarding this
request. No one was signed up to speak in favor or against this item.
With no other discussion from the Commissioners, Chairman McGrew asked for a roll
call on the motion to approve the item with staff findings and conditions.
Roll Call on Motion to Approve; APPROVED:
Ayes: Chairman Richard McGrew, Commissioner Brian White, Commissioner
John Mark Lewis, Commissioner Wayne Thomason, and Commissioner Charles
Smith.
Absent: Commissioner Helen Oliver, Commissioner Harold Koppel, and
Commissioner Hilarie Dzianott;
Nayes: None.
5. Re-Zoning (RZ-15-0237) – Tankesly Re-Zone – Zoning change request for split
zoned property from R-2 & R-1 to C-3 – 523 Carpenter Dam Rd.
Chairman Richard McGrew asked for a motion to approve the item with staff findings in
order to bring it to the floor for discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner
Dzianott and seconded by Commissioner Thomason to bring the item to the floor.
Chairman McGrew asked Mr. Stauder to introduce the item to the Commission. Mr.
Stauder stated that this was a rezone request for an approximately 3.5 acre tract located
just south of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Expressway on Carpenter Dam Rd. Mr.
Stauder stated that there was currently commercial development to the south and
southwest, and to the north. Mr. Stauder stated that the future land use designations of the
subject property, which are Residential Low and Residential Suburban, are not supportive
of the requested zone change. Mr. Stauder stated that it was staff’s recommendation that
the Planning Commission recommend the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance
amending the zoning map to designate the property C-3 Office/Neighborhood
Commercial due to the fact that the Planning Commission has made a specific finding
that the proposed zoning change demonstrates compatibility with surrounding
development and zoning and that the change is consistent with the objectives of the
zoning code. Mr. Stauder stated that it was also staff’s recommendation to the Planning
Commission to make a recommendation that the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance
amending the future land use designation of the subject property to one that would be
compatible with the requested zone change: Convenience Commercial.
Applicant Vicki Tankesly was present at the hearing to answer any questions from the
Commissioners. Dwight Bowlin, of 1039 Shady Grove Rd., was present to speak against
the item due to the fact that there was a residential neighborhood in close proximity with
the subject property.
With no other discussion from the Commissioners, Chairman McGrew asked for a roll
call on the motion to approve the item with staff findings and conditions.
Roll Call on Motion to Approve; APPROVED:
Ayes: Chairman Richard McGrew, Commissioner Brian White, Commissioner
John Mark Lewis, Commissioner Wayne Thomason, and Commissioner Charles
Smith.
Absent: Commissioner Helen Oliver, Commissioner Harold Koppel, and
Commissioner Hilarie Dzianott;
Nayes: None.
6. Re-Zoning (RZ-15-0270) – Stover Street Re-Zone – Zoning change request from
R-4 to C-TR for Lot 14 of L.A. McClard Subdivision – 512 Stover Street
Chairman Richard McGrew asked for a motion to approve the item with staff findings in
order to bring it to the floor for discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner John
Lewis and seconded by Commissioner Dzianott to bring the item to the floor.
Chairman McGrew asked Mr. Stauder to introduce the item to the Commission. Mr.
Stauder stated that this request was to rezone an approximately 0.5 acre tract of land at
512 Stover Street, being Lot 14 of L.A. McClard Subdivision. Mr. Stauder stated that the
intent of this requested rezone was to enable the property owner to apply for conditional
use to the Planning Commission in order to operate a small-scale automotive repair shop
at the subject property. Mr. Stauder stated that the land was currently improved by an
automotive garage building which had been used previously for automotive repair. Mr.
Stauder stated that it was staff’s recommendation that the Planning Commission make a
recommendation that the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance amending the future land
use map designation of the subject property (currently Residential Medium/High) to
Commercial Enclave, which would be supportive of the requested zoning change to C-
TR Commercial Transitional. Mr. Stauder stated that it was also staff’s recommendation
that the Planning Commission recommend the Board of Directors adopt an ordinance
amending the zoning map designating the subject property C-TR Commercial
Transitional Zoning because the Planning Commission is able to make a finding that the
requested change is consistent with the objectives of the Hot Springs Zoning Code.
Timothy Jeffcoat, the applicant, was present at the hearing to answer any questions from
Commissioners. Commissioner Koppel asked if he had looked at any property elsewhere
in the city that could accomplish this project. The applicant stated that he had but could
not afford to move there at this time. The applicant stated that the subject property was
“Ernie’s Wrecker Service” long ago. Commissioner Dzianott asked if the applicant could
clean up the property better. The applicant stated that he would be willing to erect a
privacy fence and also clean up more of the property around the area. Debbie Johns of
12400 Hunters Grand Rd. stated that there were drugs that were sold out of there and
convicts living there for several years and that she was happy to see Mr. Jeffcoat move in
there.
With no further questions from the Commissioners and no one else signed up to speak on
this item, Chairman McGrew closed the public hearing portion of the item and opened
the floor for Commissioners to discuss. Hearing no further discussion from the
Commissioners, Chairman McGrew asked for a roll call on the motion to approve the
item with staff findings and conditions.
Roll Call on Motion to Approve; APPROVED:
Ayes: Chairman Richard McGrew, Commissioner Brian White, Commissioner
John Mark Lewis, and Commissioner Charles Smith.
Absent: Commissioner Helen Oliver, Commissioner Harold Koppel, and
Commissioner Hilarie Dzianott;
Nayes: Commissioner Wayne Thomason

P.D. USE AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTES

City of Hot Springs
STAFF REPORT

Agenda Item:
Case Number: PD-15-0288

PROJECT SUMMARY & STAFF RECOMMENDATION
INTRODUCTION:
Applicant First Security Bank, representing property owner Sawtooth Oak Properties, LLC, seeks Planned
Development Text Amendment approval to allow "Financial Institution" as one of the permitted uses to the A.M.I
(now National Park Medical Center) Planned Development. The subject property, consisting of approximately 1.3
acres of the ~35 acre planned development, is located at the northeast corner of Malvern Avenue and Parkridge
Street (Garland County Tax I.D. #46054), has a future land use map designation of Business Commercial Center
and is located in Board of Directors District #6.
DISCUSSION:
The National Park Medical Center Planned Development is located between the 1700 block and 1900 block of
Malvern Avenue. Research through existing planning files on this development failed to show a list of preapproved
uses for this property. This development is approximately 80% built out in a variety of medical and commercial uses
that include pharmacies, doctor clinics and satellite medical offices.
This Planned Development Amendment request seeks to add "Financial Institution" as a permitted use in this
planned development. The applicants have submitted a conceptual site plan for a proposed development on the
subject property, which includes a single structure, associated parking and landscaping, proposed driveway access
from both Malvern Avenue and Parkridge Dr., and a proposed location for a monument-style sign. The site plan is
not proposed for approval at this time, it is simply illustrative.
In order for the applicant to accomplish the proposed project, the first step is to add "Financial Institution" as one of
the permitted uses in this planned development. The next step would be to make complete application to the
Planning Commission amending the previously approved site plan for this planned development to include the
proposed development for the bank. The final step will be to obtain all the necessary permits and approvals from the
City of Hot Springs, State of Arkansas, and any other applicable jurisdiction for the proposed site prior to the
issuance of a City of Hot Springs building permit.
Hot Springs Code H.S.C § 16-2-47(g) sets out a list of minor revisions to PD site plans that may be administratively
approved. A proposed change in use for a Planned Development District or portion thereof does not constitute a
minor revision and thus must be submitted to Planning Commission for review.
FINDINGS:
Applicant successfully demonstrates that the standards for favorable consideration have been met. The proposed
Planned Development Use Amendment will have no negative impact on surrounding uses or the general character
of the planned development. Traffic impact, hours of operation, and number of employees is expected to be similar
to already approved uses within this planned development.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the findings of the Staff report and approve the proposed Planned Development Use Amendment to allow
"Financial Institution" as an approved use within the National Park Medical Center Planned Development at the
subject property.
