Re: Conditional Use Permit Request
Our Lady of the Holy Souls Parish
1015-1021 N. Tyler Street / 1016-1020 N. Harrison Street
Little Rock, Arkansas
To Whom it May Concern,
Our Lady of the Holy Souls Catholic Church, respectfully requests that the City of Little
Rock grant a Conditional Use Permit for the above referenced addresses to allow for
the construction of an off-street surface parking lot for Our Lady of the Holy Souls
Catholic Parish. It is the intent of the Parish to remove the two remaining residential
structures from the property and to construct a 65-vehicle lot to provide much -needed
parking for church services, school functions and parish social events. This new facility is
expected to help relieve on -street parking congestion in the neighborhood currently
experienced during parish activities. In addition, to help mitigate the visual impact of
the new lot, every effort will be made to retain as many of the mature trees on -site as
possible.
The Parish is also petitioning the city to abandon the remaining 100' of alley right-of-way
separating the referenced lots as part of this submission. An Abandonment Petition and
supporting material are submitted herewith.
The referenced property, to the best of our knowledge, is not covered by a Bill of
Assurance.
If you have any questions regarding the proposed facility, please do not hesitate to
contact either Susie Williams at the parish office (501-663-8632), or Greg Peckham at
Peckham + Smith Architects, Inc. (501-663-3635).
Thank you for your consideration.
