Your question does not make sense.

You want to give limited access to the local user account and then you say you want the changes for the local admin account...

prevent the GP from applying to the admin account/s.

By default, when you assign a GP locally on a non-domain machine it applies to all accounts. If you were to say lock down the Run dialog or command line then not even the admins would have access.

As to a possible solution, navigate to the GPO that you have created after you save it and in the Security tab of the Properties dialog check the Deny Read for the Administrator Group or for the individual users whom you wish to be exempted.
