H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of a one (1) story duplex structure at 1011 South Woodrow Street. The property is currently undeveloped
and mostly grass covered.
The property is comprised of approximately 5,500 square feet of lot area
(0.15 acre) being the north 55 feet of lots 1 and 2, Block 11, Roots and Coy Addition.
The applicant proposes to construct a one (1) story duplex structure with 1,900 square feet in area. It will be a wood-frame structure, with a mixture of metal and stone siding, with
single slope shed roofs.
The duplex structure will be located 25 feet back from the front (west) property
line, 5.0 feet from the north and south side property lines and over 30 feet back
from the rear (east) property line. All proposed setbacks will conform with Section 36-255 (R-3 zoning standards) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The building height will not exceed
35 feet.
The applicant is proposing a paved parking area to be located within
the rear yard area to accommodate up to three (3) vehicles, between
the duplex structure and the east property line. The paved area will connect to
enclosed garages (one per each unit) on the east side of the structure.
The parking area will take access from a new paved driveway along the north
perimeter of the property within an existing alleyway running from east to west
connecting to South Woodrow Street. Section 36-502 requires a minimum of
(1.5) parking spaces per each unit within the duplex. The parking as proposed
will comply with ordinance requirements.
No fencing is proposed for the development.
No dumpster is proposed for the site and trash will be collected using standard City of Little Rock garbage collection.
There is no signage proposed for the development.
Any site lighting must be low-level and directed away from the adjacent properties.
To staff’s knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this
application. Staff believes the proposed duplex structure located at 1011 South
Woodrow Street is an appropriate use for this property. The duplex structure
will only be a minor increase in the original platted density for this property. The
proposed duplex structure will not be out of character with the general area. Other duplex structures are located throughout the neighborhood.
Staff believes the proposed duplex will have no adverse impact on the neighborhood or surrounding uses. The applicant is requesting no variances with the proposed development.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and E, and the staff analysis, and
the agenda staff report.
