STAFF ANALYSIS•
The applicants propose to construct a colonial style, residential
structure on the R-2 zoned, 1.5 acre tract located at 710
Wellington Village Road. They are requesting a special use
permit to allow for the use of the structure as a bed and
breakfast house. This new facility will consist of the owner -
occupied primary family residence and not more than 5 guest
rooms. The two-story, residential style structure will contain
approximately 4,000 square feet.
The Zoning Ordinance defines bed and breakfast house as an owner
occupied single family residence which contains not more than
five (5) guest rooms which for a fee may be occupied by a guest
for no longer than fourteen (14) days."
Section 36-54(e) of the Code establishes the site and location
criteria for bed and breakfast houses which are as follows:
a. The occupancy fee may include a continental breakfast
(coffee, juice and pastry) to be served to paying guests
with no full meals.
b. The owner must provide one (1) paved off-street parking
space per guest room and one (1) additional for the
residence use.
C. Allowable signage is that permitted by the single-family
residential standard.
d. No receptions, private parties or tours for a fee are
allowed.
The applicants have stated that the proposed bed and breakfast
house will conform to the standards of Section 36-54(e).

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 14 Cont. FILE NO.: Z -5991-B
The required on-site parking will be provided; minimum of 6 paved
spaces. Signage will be limited to that permitted by the single
family residential standard. That standard allows the following:
1. One attached nameplate per occupancy; not to exceed one
square foot in area.
2. One freestanding ground -mounted sign, not to exceed one
square foot in area and a maximum height of six feet.
3. No commercial advertising is allowed. Only signs denoting
the name and address of occupants are allowed.
The property is located at the southern fringe of a newly
developing residential subdivision in west Little Rock.
Properties to the south, between this.site and Chenal Parkway,
are zoned 0-3, C-1, C-2 and MF -18. Properties to the north are
zoned R-2. A new church is to be constructed on the property
directly across the street from the site.
Staff believes the proposed bed and breakfast house is a
reasonable use for the property. what amounts basically to a
large single family home with 5 guest rooms on a 1.5 acre tract
is compatible with other uses in the area. It will serve as a
transition from the single family properties to the north to the
nonresidential zoning south of the site.

compliance with the site and location criteria for bed and
breakfast houses outlined in Section 36-54(e) of the Code of
