Hospital
Arkansas Children's Hospital is currently constructing a new
addition onto the east side of the main hospital building
located on the 0-2 zoned property at 800 Marshall Street.
The addition is being built in an area previously occupied
by a parking lot which has recently been relocated to
property on the east side of Marshall Street. Part of the
new addition will include a new main entrance. One element
of the entrance is a proposed canopy to accommodate patient
drop-off and pick-up. All of the expansion meets required
setbacks with the exception of the canopy. The canopy is
proposed to have a front yard setback of 7110". The 0-2
district requires a 25 -foot front yard setback.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The canopy
is being constructed over an area that had previously.been a

paved parking lot. The canopy will have a setback of 21
feet from the curb of Marshall Street. Due to the open
nature of the canopy and its mid -block location, it will not
create a sight -distance hazard. The reduced setback is for
only the width of the canopy and its supports; the remainder
of the addition is located well behind the setback line.
There is no platted building line issue.

Staff recommends approval of the setback variance, as filed.
