August 13, 2026 Board of Adjustment Meeting

The City of Russellville, Arkansas Board of Adjustment held a meeting on August 13, 2026, primarily to consider variance requests related to zoning and land use. Two key procurement-related items involved variance approvals for signage and parking dimensions. The first variance approved was for VEC Properties Incorporated to restore a directional arrow on an existing sign at 303 West Main Street, exceeding the allowed height and width but justified by historical precedent and compliance with district standards. The second variance approved was for Tesla on behalf of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store at 211 East Harold Drive, allowing a reduction in parking stall length from 20 feet to 18 feet to accommodate site conditions while maintaining adequate maneuverability. Both variances were found to meet the minimum requirements and were approved unanimously. No other procurement or budgetary matters were discussed.
