Approval of the Ordinance.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the 0.36-acre site from
R-3 to PD-R to recognize the historical use of the property.
The site contains an existing 1-story, single-family
residence and a two-family (duplex) structure on one (1)
single lot.
There is one (1) undeveloped C-3 zoned lot to the east of
the site on Brown Street. The remainder of the properties
contain R-3 zoning and uses in all directions.
The site plan shows an existing 2,086 square foot duplex
structure located in the south portion of the property and a
1,386 square foot single-family residence located in the
BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
north portion of the property. The applicant notes no
additions or changes to the existing footprint of the two (2)
structures will be made and the only reason for this
application is to recognize the historical use of the property
as conforming and legal.
The existing setbacks for both structures will not change as
part of the proposed use.
Both buildings contain a single driveway extending from
Brown Street. Required parking for a two-family (duplex)
use requires three (3) parking spaces. One parking space is
required for the single-family residential use. On -street
parking is also available along Brown Street. Staff feels the
parking is sufficient to serve the use.
The site plan does not show any signage at this time. Any
future signage must comply with Section 36-551 of the
City's Zoning Ordinance (signs permitted in residential one
— and two — family zones.)
On May 9, 2024, the Planning Commission voted
8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent, as part of the Consent Agenda,
to approve the PD-R rezoning. There were no objectors
present.
All owners of property located within 300 feet of the site
and all neighborhood associations registered with The City
of Little Rock were notified of the public hearing.
Please see the attached Planning Commission minute
record for the complete staff analysis.
