The request is for Subdivision/Multiple Building Site Plan Review as per Section 31-13 of the Little Rock Code of Ordinances to allow the placement of two (2) homes on this site. The two (2) homes are manufactured homes which were placed on the property without prior approval to allow for the placement of multiple buildings on a single parcel. The property is 177-feet deep and 50-feet in width. Each of the homes are 16-feet wide. The southern home is 67-feet deep and the northern home is 76-feet deep. The northern home has been placed 8-feet 6-inches from the northern property line. The southern home is located in an "approximate road right of way". The applicant has agreed to move the southern -most home outside the right of way prior to the issuance of a 911 address from the County. The home will be placed a minimum of five (5) feet from the southern property line. Ordinance No. 20,839 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 11, 2014, modified Section 31-13(f) of the Little Rock Code to limit the term of approval of a site plan to a maximum of three (3) years from the date of approval. If an approved multi -phase development, has not been completed within three (3) years of the date of approval the site plan must be reviewed and reapproved by the Commission in the same manner as the initial site plan review. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The property is located outside the city limits in an area the City exercises the enforcement of the Subdivision Ordinance only. With no zoning in the area the City has no determined setbacks but staff would suggest the setbacks comply with typical setbacks per the R-3, Single-family Zoning District or side yard setbacks of five (5) feet.
