Lot 3, Block 6, Cherry Creek

The R-2 zoned property located at 2007 Cherry Bend Drive is
occupied by a one-story, brick and frame, single-family__
residence. The applicant proposes to erect a patio cover
over the concrete patio at the rear of the house. The cover
will result in a rear yard setback of 13.2± feet. The code
requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet for this lot.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The lot
averages only 97 feet in depth, less than the minimum lot
depth of 100 feet required for R-2 zoned property and less
than the typical West Little Rock residential lot. This has
resulted in less available rear yard area than the typical
lot. The cover will be erected over an existing concrete
patio and will be unenclosed on the sides. The variance is

for only the width of the patio cover. The remainder of the
required rear yard area of this lot remains open and
uncovered. The house on the lot adjacent to the rear
appears to have -a setback exceeding 25 feet, providing
adequate separation between structures.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback
variance to allow a 20' X 10' patio cover subject to the
patio cover remaining open and unenclosed on all sides other
than at the point it adjoins the house.
