Re: Request for Special Use Permit — God Family Business Assisted Living Home, [Insert Property
Address]
Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am writing to respectfully request a Special Use Permit for the property located at [insert property
address] to operate an assisted living home doing business as God Family Business.
God Family Business Assisted Living Home is designed to provide a safe, supportive, and home -like
environment for adults who require assistance with daily living. The home will serve no more than six
(6) adults at any given time and will be staffed by trained caregivers to ensure that residents receive
compassionate and professional support.
The purpose of this assisted living home is to:
- Offer 24-hour supervision and care in a residential setting.
- Help residents maintain dignity and independence while ensuring their safety.
- Operate in full compliance with state, city, and health regulations.
- Meet a vital community need for quality assisted living options in Little Rock.
Traffic and Neighborhood Impact
God Family Business will have minimal impact on neighborhood traffic. Staff members will work in
scheduled shifts, which will limit the number of vehicles at the property at any one time. Visitors will
primarily be family members and will come at varying times throughout the week, reducing the chance
of congestion. Adequate parking is available on -site and will prevent the need for residents, staff, or
visitors to park on neighboring streets.
Noise levels will remain consistent with normal residential activity, and no exterior modifications are
planned that would alter the residential character of the neighborhood. We are committed to being good
neighbors by maintaining the property to high standards and ensuring the home blends seamlessly with
the surrounding community.
As the Administrator, I am committed to ensuring that God Family Business is operated responsibly and
harmoniously within the community. We believe that the home will be a positive addition to the
neighborhood and will provide much -needed services to families seeking care for their loved ones.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. I respectfully ask for your approval of this
Special Use Permit so that God Family Business may begin serving the community.
Sincerely,
Kesha Mathews

Re, Request for Zoning Approval - Supportive Living Home at 1 Carlton Drive
Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am writing to request zoning approval for the operation of a supportive living home located at 1
Carlton Drive, Little Rock, AR 72204. The proposed home will provide services under the Arkansas
Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDS) guidelines.
The home will be licensed and operated in compliance with all city, county, and state regulations, and
will provide a safe, supportive, and family -like environment for no more than six (6) adult residents.
Services will include assistance with daily living skills, personal care, meals, supervision, and
transportation, as well as opportunities for social and community integration.
The purpose of this supportive living home is to:
- Provide a stable, safe, and home -like setting for adults with developmental disabilities.
- Ensure that each resident is supported in maintaining dignity, independence, and quality of life.
- Operate within all requirements set forth by the Arkansas DDS and Medicaid programs.
- Offer around -the -clock staff support to meet the needs of residents.
This home will not be a nursing facility or medical institution but rather a small, residential supportive
living program that blends into the neighborhood and promotes inclusion.
We respectfully request your consideration and approval to operate this supportive living home at 1
Carlton Drive. Please feel free to contact me at 501-612-3393 or via email at keshagfb@gmail.com if
