Item No. 5 - Z-4340
Owner:
Address:
Description:
Zoned:
Variance
Requested:
Justification:
Richard Blume and Others
By: Roy West
811 East 6th Street
Lot 4 of Block 14, Rector Town
Addition
"I-2" Light Industrial District
From the side yard setback provisions
of Section 43/7-104.2/E.2 of the Code of
Ordinances to permit an addition of
8' 8" in height to the existing
building.
The adoption of the present Zoning Ordinance imposed a
15 -foot side yard where one had not been required when the
building was constructed.
Present Use of
the Property: Car Wash and Truck Scales
Proposed Use of
the Property: To remain the same with capacity to
wash large buses and trucks.
STAFF REPORT:
A.
Engineering Issues
None reported at this writing.
B. Staff Analvsis
This request is one of several unique situations
encountered by staff in recent months. The owner's
request does not intrude horizontally into the side
yard since the building is located on the property
line. The issue is expansion of that portion of the
nonconformity vertically. A visit to the site and
observing the work underway has permitted observation
of the finished elevation. Our observation suggests
that the 8' height increase will have no adverse effect
on the adjacent property or industrial neighborhood.
The building is barely in excess of the height of its
neighbor on the east. We would like to point out that
the construction underway lies outside the 15 -foot
setback.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
In 1980 the City of Little Rock changed the zoning
laws for the existing structure at 811. East 6th,
Little Rock,Arkansas which has made it not in compliance
with the city ordinance. For: -me to up date the business
and to conduct it properly, the variance is needed so
that the business can be renovated and remodeled to house
new equipment. The structure will be the same size,width,
and depth but the height of the structure needs to be
raised due to it being changed from a car wash to a truck
wash.
Cordially,
Roy West
