requested to allow for the
placement of a duplex on an
R-3 zoned lot.

approximately one-half block north of East 10th Street

primarily of smaller single-family residences. There
is a Little Rock Housing Authority multifamily
development approximately one block to the north of the
proposed site and the Little Rock Airport is
approximately one-half block to the south. There are
also a large number of vacant lots in this general
area.
The proposed duplex should not have an adverse effect
on the surrounding properties.
The East Little Rock Neighborhood Association and the
East End Civic League have been notified of the public
hearing.

5. Public Works Comments:
Repair of any curb and gutter or sidewalk that is
damaged in the public right-of-way is responsibility of
the property owner and would need to be facilitated
prior to certificate occupancy.
6. Utility Comments:
L.R. Water Works - An acreage charge of $150/acre in
addition to normal connection charges may apply for
additional and/or larger meter(s).
7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow for the placement of a duplex at 915 Selma Street.
The property is zoned R-3.
In March of this year, the applicant moved a duplex
structure from 2006/2008 West 12th Street to the lot at
915 Selma Street. A building permit was issued for the
site for a single-family dwelling. The applicant was not
aware that he needed a conditional use permit for the
duplex until a final inspection was made and the building
codes personnel flagged the permit.
Therefore, the applicant has applied for a conditional
use permit to use the structure as a duplex.
The one-story duplex exceeds all building setbacks for
the R-3 district. The Zoning Ordinance requires three
(3) parking spaces for a duplex. The applicant is
proposing three (3) parking spaces on the site plan.
Therefore, no variances are needed with this application.
Given the fact that this site is located between a large
multifamily development (north) and the Little Rock
Airport (south), the proposed duplex should not have an
adverse effect on the neighborhood.
8. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
subject to the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the Public Works Comments
2. Compliance with the Utility Comment
