INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING APPLICATION
FOR A RESIDENTIAL ZONING VARIANCE
1. The owner or his authorized agent is required to file the application in the Department of
Planning and Development, 723 West Markham, Little Rock, Arkansas; 371-4790. The
following documents are to be submitted at the time of filing.
a) Six (6) copies of a recent survey, prepared by a preofessional surveyor or professional
engineer, which shows all existing and proposed improvements properly dimensioned
and labeled.
b) A cover letter detailing the applicant’s proposal and providing his justification and
reasons for requesting a variance from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Said
letter shall be in sufficient detail so that the Board of Adjustment can determine whether a
variance is necessary or warranted.
Possible justifications for seeking a variance might include excessive slopes, internal
structural configurations, major natural features to be preserved or unusual lot
configurations. Usually economic reasons are not sufficient justification for waiving
zoning requirements.
2. Payment of a filing fee is required no later than the published docket closing date. Said fees are
established by the City’s adopted Fee Ordinance.
3. Upon application to the City, the applicant is given a notice form which is to be circulated by the
applicant among neighboring property owners. Two forms of notice are used: (1) single family
and duplex owners are permitted to hand carry the notice to neighbors and provide proof of
notice by obtaining the signatures of those notified; (2) other owners must obtain a list of
neighboring property owners from an abstract company and to send the required notice by
certified mail. Said notice must be given to owners properties within 200 feet of the subject
property and be accomplished at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting date.
4. The required affidavit and supporting exhibits (signed notices, mailing receipts, certified abstract
list of property owners of record and copy of notice) shall be filed with the Department of
Planning and Development no later six (6) calendar days prior to the meeting date.
5. The applicant is given a sign indicating that the posted property is being considered for a zoning
variance which must be posted in a location on the property which is visible from the street in
front of property for which the request is made. This, too, is posted at least ten (10) days in
advance of the meeting.
6. The applicant or his representative must be present at the meeting at which the request is to be
considered and be prepared to respond to questions from the Board of Adjustment concerning the
request for variance. Failure to do so will result in automatic deferral of the request or possible
withdrawal of the item from the agenda.
