April 19, 1979
Item No. 1 - Z-3343
Owner: Y.M.C.A. of Metropolitan Little Rock
Address: Sam Peck Road, near Highway #10
Description: Long Legal
Zoned: "A" One Family District
Variance: Request permission under the provisions
of Section 43-22(4)(d) to permit the
location and expansion of a Y.M.C.A. in
a residential zoning district.
Present use of
the Property: The West Side Y.M.C.A.
Proposed Use of
the Property: Same
Staff Recommendation:
Presently, the West Side Y.M.C.A. is a nonconforming use
within the City of Little Rock. The use existed at the time
of annexation and has never been made conforming through any
City action. The present request arises from a planned
expansion of this facility.
Staff believes it is now appropriate to formally permit the
Y.M.C.A. as a use in a residential district and to permit
the proposed expansion. However, there is one matter
outstanding which must be addressed at this time.
No documentation has been discovered indicating any granting
of waivers for boundary street improvements or for parking
lot construction requirements. These improvements have
apparently just been allowed to slip by.
Staff, therefore, recommends that approval of this request
carry the conditions that:
1. Required street improvements to Sam Peck Road be
completed.
2. All Y.M.C.A. parking areas be paved and landscaped
as required by ordinance.

Item No. 1 - Z-3343 - Continued
Board Action
The applicant was present, represented by Bob Janes,
President of the Metropolitan Y.M.C.A., who gave a brief
presentation to the Board regarding the method by which the
Y.M.C.A. had acquired this facility as well as describing
some of their future long-range development plans for the
site. There were no objectors.
The Board, after a brief discussion, made a motion to
approve the variance with inclusion of the staff
recommended conditions. The motion passed: 4 ayes, 0 noes,
3 absent.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at
2:15 p.m.
