BACKGROUND•
The property contains an existing boat sales business utilizing
four existing buildings with outdoor display. The property has
contained outdoor display type businesses for a number of years.
This application is before the Planning Commission as a result of
a recent zoning enforcement case. The applicant added a 12 foot
by 24 foot portable building to the site without Planning
Commission approval of a subdivision site plan (multiple
buildings). The enforcement case is pending in Little Rock
Municipal Court.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST:

portable building to serve as a sales office for the
existing boat sales business.

G. ANALYSIS•
As noted in the Public works Comments, all of this property
is located in the regulatory floodway and construction is
not permitted in the floodway. The applicant can seek FEMA
approval for the 12 foot by 24 foot building. However,
seeking FEMA approval is very involved and time consuming
(engineering analysis, etc.).
Staff feels that the application should be denied and
removal of the 12 foot by 24 foot portable building should
be as directed by the current enforcement procedure.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends denial of the proposed site plan. The
12 foot by 24 foot portable building will need to be removed
from the property.
