Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were few outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff stated the applicant was requesting a rezoning of the property from R-2, Single-family to R-4, Two-family which was on the Commission's October 16, 2014, agenda. Staff stated regardless of the rezoning there would be variances associated with the request. Staff stated the lot depth, lot width and the lot area did not comply with the typical standards of the R-4, Two-family zoning district. Staff stated with the current R-2, Single-family zoning district the plat would still require a variance for lot depth and lot area. Staff stated the only area the plat would comply was with the lot width. Staff noted comments from Public Works and Little Rock Wastewater. Staff stated a radial dedication was required at the intersection of West 20th and Junior Deputy Road. Staff requested the revised preliminary plat to include the proposed driveway location.
