Jay,
Great to talk to you this morning! Just to summarize some basic information about the MacArthur Parks Local Ordinance
Historic District and the Little Rock Historic District Commission:
The property at 1004 Commerce 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. A property owner in this district is 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.
