Kemp, Attorney Address• 3517 Asher Avenue Description• Lot 1, Shelby and Reynolds Subdivision Zoned• "I-2" Light Industrial District Variance Requested• From the side yard setback provisions of Section 43/7-104.2 of the Code of Ordinances to permit an existing building on an an existing slab with a 5-foot setback to be extended 25' southerly. JUSTIFICATION 1. The applicant states that the present building was constructed in 1977 at a time when the Little Rock Zoning Ordinance did not require a side setback. The slab for the now proposed construction was constructed at that time with the same 5-foot side yard setback as the building. The applicant states further that the present ordinance adopted in 1980 and subsequently amended created the larger requirement of 15' now in effect. The integrity and the uniformity of the building would be damaged by requirement of the 15-foot setback. STAFF REPORT A. Engineering Issues There are no reported adverse comments from any of the reviewing agencies. The lot is platted and all dedication and street improvements are in place. B. Staff Analysis The staff view of this request is that the variance is justified based on the points made by the applicant and the open relationship between buildings in this neighborhood. There should be no adverse impact on any abutting owners. C. Staff Recommendation Approval as requested.
