Re: Mutual Cooperation for Enforcement
of City-State Regulations in
Capitol and Mansion Areas of the
Capitol Zoning District
Dear Mr. McMullin:
Act 267 of 1975 along with the Capitol Zoning District Master Plan
adopted on October 4, 1977 and the Capitol Zoning District's Administra-
tive Rules and Procedures adopted October 27, 1977 transfer land use
control of the areas known as the Capitol Area and the Mansion Area,
more particularly described in the Act, to the Capitol Zoning District
Commission. The staff of this Commission has discussed with your office
Section 4 of Act 267 which provides for a cooperative agreement between
the Capitol Zoning District Commission and the City of Little Rock if
it is determined by the Commission and the City that such an agreement
would provide for more effective management of the area. In accordance
with this statute, we respectfully request the following procedures be
established within the Office of the Little Rock Community Services
Department and the Office of Comprehensive Planning:
(1) Refer all applicants requesting permits for improvements within
the jurisdiction of the Capitol Zoning District Commission to
Room 410, Contenental Building, Markham at Main, Little Rock,
Arkansas. (Telephone: 371.1553) . Permit requests to be
referred are:
(a) Building Permits
(b) Sign Permits
(c) Grounds Permits
(d) Privilege Licenses
(e) Demolition Permits
(f) Certificate of Occupancy
(g) Certificate of Compliance
(2) Any requests for a Conditional Use Permit or a Variance shall
"t
be referred to the Administrator of the Capitol Zoning District
Commission for review by the staff and action by the Capitol
Zoning District Commission.
(3) Prior to issuance of the Little Rock Certificate of Occupancy
or Privilege License, the Commission requests that you notify
the Administrator of the Capitol Zoning District Commission in
order that a final inspection may be made of the improvements.
A memorandum will be forwarded to the city after the inspection
has been successfully completed which will indicate that from a
zoning perspective the occupancy permit should be issued.
The Capitol Zoning District Commission will have sole authority for
the issuance of a Grounds Permit, a Significant Structure Permit, and a
Certificate of Compliance within the district boundaries. A Building
Permit and Sign Permit will be issued by the City of Little Rock
following review for compliance by the Commission and certification that
the improvements represented to the Commission will be made in accordance ~
with the laws of the State of Arkansas and the ordinances and codes of the
City of Little Rock insofar as they are applicable. All regulations,
requirements, codes, and enforcement responsibilities of the City of
Little Rock not specifically mentioned in the Capitol Zoning District
Ordinance shall continue to be in force in the district areas.
This agreement shall be in effect until either or both parties give
notice of termination or modification of the agreement.
If the above procedures meet with your understanding of previous
agreements and approval, please indicate such agreement and approval by
signing and returning the enclosed copy of this letter.
Sincerely,
Ronald Newman, Chairman
Capitol Zoning District Commission
