Subject:1415 Cumberland Application
Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Loucks,
Thank you for your call this morning. The property at 1415 Cumberland is within the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance
Historic District. The goal of the local ordinance historic district is to protect and preserve the unique and valued
qualities of such an area, its urban design, architectural character, and historic materials in buildings and in landscapes.
As a property owner in this district, you are subject to the rules and regulations as set forth by the City of Little Rock
ordinances, Municipal Code Chapter 23, Sec. 76-160, that is based on Arkansas State law. Any exterior renovation of
structures, additions, fencing, or other site features need to be either administratively approved by staff or reviewed by
the Little Rock Historic District Commission at their regularly monthly public meetings.
For information for the Historic District Commission and the MacArthur Park Design Guidelines, please visit our website:

On the right-hand menu find Boards & Commissions
Scroll down to Historic District Commission
In this section, you will find information regarding the HDC, the design guidelines and the application process. You are
welcome to complete a COA application for the work you are doing and intend to do and email this to me. From there, I
will be able to assess if the work you have started at 1415 Cumberland can be approved at the staff level. When you
send this to me, please provide as much detail as possible in the email about the scope of restoration and/or renovation
work so that all work is included in one application process. This prevents you from having to come back to receive
approval in the near future. If you have questions about what work is considered appropriate, please review the Design
Guidelines.
Thanks,
