Planning commission recommends rezoning at 603 Polk Street so duplex can be built
Summary
Commissioners voted to recommend rezoning 603 Polk Street from R‑2A to R‑2 to reduce the frontage requirement so the applicant can construct a duplex on a roughly 66‑foot lot.
The Conway Planning Commission recommended approval Tuesday of a rezoning for 603 Polk Street from R‑2A to R‑2 to allow a duplex on a lot that staff said is roughly 66 feet wide.
Planning staff explained that R‑2A requires 100 feet of frontage while R‑2 requires 50 feet; the applicant said the lot width prevented construction under current R‑2A standards. "This slot's roughly 66 feet. So that is why there is a rezoning request to go down to R 2, to reduce the frontage, required for the duplex," Ryan, a planning staff member, said.
Applicant Aaron Davis, who identified his residence as Greenbrier, said the rezoning would allow a new dwelling to be constructed on the lot. "Basically, the lot like he said, the lot width is too big for, to build on an R 2 A, and we wanna go to R 2 so they can put something on it," Davis said.
No one spoke in opposition. Commissioners made and seconded a motion to approve the rezoning; the motion carried on a voice vote with commissioners answering "Aye." The commission will forward its recommendation to City Council for final action.
