CURRY JANET M HARDIN February 25, 1985 Mr. Richard Wood Office of Comprehensive Planning Little Rock City Hall Little Rock, AR 72201 Re: Z-4413 and Z -4413A Dear Richard: The purpose of this letter is to request an interpretation of the Board of Adjustment of certain provisions of the Little Rock Zoning Ordinance. As I understand it, Article III, Section C (1)(a) of the zoning ordinance grants the Board of Adjustment the power to make interpretations of the provisions of the zoning ordinance. As you know, I have filed the captioned applications on behalf of Rudy's Farm Co. and some question exists as to the appropriate zoning classification for the contemplated use. Specifically, Article II, Section 2-102(B) sets forth the definition of uses. Subparagraph (7) and subparagraph (130) of the definition of uses are at issue. Arguably, the proposed use could fit either defini- tion. The problem is presented by the fact that (B)(7), Agricultural Foods Processing, requires a conditional use permit in an "I-2" zone, while (B)(130), Tanning and Rendering requires a conditional use permit in an 11I-3" zone. Of course, the captioned applica- tions are for a conditional use permit in an "I-3" zone out of an abundance of caution in order to insure that the applicant's intended use is permitted if said applications are approved. However, more than half of the subject property is already zoned I-2 and only the remaining portion of the property would need to be rezoned if the proposed use is defined as Agricultural Foods Processing under subparagraph (B)(7) of the definition of uses. In my judgment, the Tanning and Rendering use definition under subparagraph (B)(130) would not apply to the proposed use since no tanning or rendering is contemplated on the subject pro- perty, even though the definition of tanning and rendering inclu- des the use of the word slaughtering, which is contemplated. I am attaching a copy of my letter of February 14, 1985, to the Planning Commission and staff which describes the proposed use of the property in more detail. As per our earlier conversations, it is my understanding that the matter can be heard by the Board of Adjustment during its regular March 18, 1985 meeting. If there are any questions or if I might be of any assistance J in resolving this issue, please don't hesitate to advise. I DPH/srp Sincerely, HENRY & DUCKETT �tFL_David P. Henry DAVID P.

(501) 375-3022 outline the basic operation captioned cases. The appli- a subsidiary of Consolidated Rudy's Farm Co. is now located in the 55th Industrial Park in an I-2 zone. It's current location will not permit needed expan- sion due to the development of adjoining properties. The proposed new location has been the sight of Quality Foods which has housed a similar operation, with the exception that carcasses are shipped in to Quality Foods and no actual slaughtering has taken place on the proposed sight. Of course, Rudy's Farm Co. contemplates slaughtering and, therefore, request an I-3 zone of Lots 4, 5, 8 and. 9 of Ruebel and Leymer's Addition along with a conditional use permit in order to close its purchase of the subject property and make the antici- pated move. The applicant maintains that its operation is an agricultural foods processing use which is a conditional use in the I-2 zone, but because slaughtering is contemplated, some question exists in the interpretation of the ordinance as to whether, by definition, the contemplated use is tanning and ren- dering which requires a conditional use permit in the 1-3 zone. Commensurate with this application, the applicant is requesting an interpretation from the Board of Adjustment as to this issue. In order to be perfectly clear on the subject, no tanning and no rendering will take place at the proposed use. The livestock will reach the sight via Polk Street; then west on 35th Street to a fully enclosed receiving area. No livestock will be held any longer than is required to permit t t After processing all by-products will be shipped and rendering facility in Russellville, Arkansas. Meat processing. Meat remaining on the site will be sliced and/or cooked and sent toshipping no later than the day following the slaughter operation. All plant trash consisting of paper, plastic and cardboard, etc., will be taken to outside dumpsters throughout the day and these dumpsters will unloaded at least once a day and on occasion tw depending on need. ice a day, In addition to using the existing buildings on the proposed site, the applicant proposes to construct a 150 on he pr foot processing facility, a 50 foot by 120 foot receiving facility and a 60 foot by 120 foot shipping facility. Additionally, existing 26 by 101, one and one-half story building wyll the enlarged to approximately twice its size to accomodate the appli- cant's bakery operation.

The entire operation from beginning enclosed and under roof. to end will be Upon approval of the zoning and conditional use applications, is it contemplated that the applicant will petition the City for the closing of Taylor Street between West 33rd Street and West 35th Street. West 34th in this area has already been closed by the previous owner and the applicant owns both sides of Taylor Street or the area which is contemplated to be closed. Taylor Street ends, as it now exists, at the south end of the subject property. Obviously, at the time of the development of zoning use cate- gories, slaughtering operations were not considered desirable neighbors. However, modern operations of this t ype little noise, odor or other detrimental environmentalferimpact.
