Rebuilding a house on a 40-foot-wide lot at 307 N. Allis St
Jonesboro
Summary
A condemned house's replacement needs a variance because the lot is 40 feet wide but the R-3 zone requires 50 feet. The board said yes, bringing a new single-family home — possibly a rent-to-own — to a spot that's been empty since sometime between 2014 and 2017.
