AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING APPLICANTS FOR ZONING CHANGES TO PAY A FEE;
DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, the City of Little Mock is obliged to incur a
definite expense in connection with applications for changes and
variations in the Zoning Law, and
WHEREAS, it is only fair and just that these expenses should
be borne by the persons seeking to obtain such changes or variations,
now therefore
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. The City Clerk is hereby directed to refuse to
accept any application or petition for a change or variation in
the Zoning Law affecting any parcel of property in the City of
Little Rock until and unless the person presenting the application
or petition exhibits to the City Clerk, a receipt from the City
Collector showing the payment to the City Collector of $12.50.
SECTION 2. Because at the present time many petitions and
applications for zoning changes are being presented to the City
government, and because such applications involve expenditure on
the part of the City of considerable money; and because it is unjust
and inequitable that such expenses be borne out of the general
revenues of the City; and because this inequitable situation should
be corrected so that the City's revenues will not be expended for
such purposes, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this
ordinance is found to be necessary for the preservation of the
public peace, health and safety and shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage.
