development north of the proposed site, across East 9th
Street. The Little Rock Airport is approximately one

1. All driveways shall be concrete aprons per City
Ordinance.
2. A 20' radial dedication of right-of-way at the
northwest corner of property.

7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow for the placement of a duplex on Lot 1,
Industrial Park Addition (901 Selma Street) and a
duplex on Lot 2, Industrial Park Addition (905 Selma
Street). The property is zoned R-3.
The applicant wishes to move the existing duplex
structures from the Children's Hospital area to the
above mentioned lots. The structures must be moved or
torn down due to Children's Hospital expansion.
The duplex structures are one story in height. The
proposed placement of the structures exceeds the
minimum ordinance setback requirements. Parking will
be provided to serve each duplex.
Placement of the two duplex structures should prove to
be an asset to this area of the city, as there are a
large number of vacant lots in this general area. The
proposed duplexes should have no adverse effect on the
area.
8. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use
permit, subject to compliance with the Public Works
comments.
