CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2023-1016
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 5, 2023
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
Jessica Masters, Development Review Manager
FROM: Donna Wonsower, Planner
DATE:
SUBJECT: RZN-2023-0019: Rezoning (1634 W. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BLVD./GREEN
MEADOW CAPITAL, 521): Submitted by GMB KB FAYETTEVILLE LLC for property
located at 1634 W. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BLVD in WARD 1. The property is split
zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE AND C-2, THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL and
contains approximately 0.88 acres. The request is to rezone the property to C-2,
THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of a request to rezone the subject
property as described and shown in the attached Exhibits ‘A’ and ‘B’.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in southwest Fayetteville approximately ¼ mile west of the intersection of S. Razorback
Rd. and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. It is currently split zoned R-O, Residential Office and C-2,
Thoroughfare Commercial, and is not part of an overlay district. The project is currently developed with a Boss
Man Tacos, Burrito & More Restaurant split between three parcels. The building is bisected by both the split in
zoning and a parcel line. In 2008, a conditional use permit was approved permitting a Taco Bell restaurant.
While C-2 allows restaurants and drive-thrus by-right, the R-O zoning district only permits restaurants
conditionally.
Request: The request is to rezone the property from a split zoning of R-O, Residential Office and C-2,
Thoroughfare Commercial to be entirely C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial.
Public Comment: Staff has not received any public comment on the request, and no members of the public
spoke at the Planning Commission meeting.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the request to be compatible with the surrounding context. The parcel is
adjacent to a regional link-high activity street (W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) and is already fully developed as
a commercial property. The parcel is adjacent to commercial developments to the east and west, with primarily
multi-family residential properties making up the remainder of the adjacent properties. A small pocket of
industrial property is directly south of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The current zoning, Residential
Office, allows many commercial uses, such as limited business; and offices, studios, and related services by
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
right, with others such as eating places; neighborhood shopping goods; clean technologies; and small-scale
production allowed by conditional use permit.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is generally consistent with adopted land use policies, the
Future Land Use Map designation, and goals of City Plan 2040. A moderate-high infill score indicates that the
area can likely support additional intensity if it is feasible under the proposed zoning entitlements. The request
meets Goal 1 of City Plan 2040 “We will make appropriate infill and revitalization our highest priorities:
encouraging the development or redevelopment of vacant, mostly vacant, and underdeveloped property,” by
providing the opportunity for additional commercial infill along a regional high-activity link. Conversely, rezoning
the property to a single-use district, R-O permits residential and nonresidential uses whereas C-2 is purely
nonresidential, is not fully consistent with long-range planning objectives related to encouragement of complete
neighborhoods. On the balance of issues, particularly the existing use of the property, staff supports the
request.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates 8 attributes for this site that may
contribute to appropriate infill. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• 4-Minute Fire Response (Station 6)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevar, S. Eastern Avenue, and W. Venus Street)
• Near Water Main (12-inch W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, 6-inch S. Eastern Avenue and W.
Venus Street)
• Near Public School (Ramay Jr. High / ALLPS School of Innovation)
• Near University of Arkansas Campus
• Near Paved Trail (Side Path Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Lot 54A)
• Appropriate Future Land Use
DISCUSSION:
At the August 14, 2023 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 7-0-0 forwarded the request to City Council
with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Winston made the motion and Commissioner Sparkman
seconded. There was no discussion of the request, and no members of the public spoke at the Planning
Commission meeting.

(UPDATED WITH MEETING RESULTS)
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Streets: The subject area has frontage along W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., a fully
improved Regional Link-High Activity Street with asphalt paving, curb & gutter, and
sidewalk. The subject area has frontage along S. Eastern Ave. and W. Venus St.,
both fully improved Residential Links with asphalt paving, curb & gutter, and
sidewalk. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined
at the time of development proposal. Any additional improvements or requirements
for drainage will be determined at time of development.
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. An existing 12-inch water main is
present on the north side of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. An existing 6-inch water
main is present on the east side of S. Eastern Ave. and the south side of W. Venus
St.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject area. An existing 6-inch sewer main is
present on the north side of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., the east side of South
Eastern Avenue, and the north side of West Venus Street.
Fire: Fire apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Station 6, located at 990 S. Hollywood Avenue, protects this site. The property is
located approximately 0.5 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time
of approximately 2 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 4.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn -out
time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time
goal of 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes for a ladder truck.
Police: The Police Department expressed no concerns with this request.
Drainage: No portion of the property is within a FEMA floodplain or Streamside Protection
Zone, nor are Hydric soils are present on the property. Additionally, no portion of
the property is located in the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed zoning district of C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial requires 15%
minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district of R-O, Residential
Office requires 20% minimum canopy preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates
the property within the proposed rezone as Urban Center.
Urban Center Areas contain the most intense and dense development patterns within the City
and allow for the tallest and greatest variety of buildings. Urban Center accommodates
rowhouses, apartments, local and regional retail, hotels, clean technology industries and
entertainment uses. These areas are typified by their location adjacent to major thoroughfares
with high visibility. Although Urban Center Areas recognize the conventional big box and strip
retail centers existing along major arterials, it is expected that vacant properties will be developed
Planning Commission
August 14, 2023
RZN-2023-0019 (THOMPSON)
Page 2 of 13
into traditional mixed-use centers, allowing people to live, work and shop in the same area.
Additionally, infill of underperforming or undervalued existing big box and strip centers should be
strongly encouraged since there is a greater return on investment for redevelopment of these
areas that have existing public infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks, trai ls, water, sewer and
parklands.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 8 for this site,
with a weighted score of 8.5 at the highest. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the
score:
• 4-Minute Fire Response (Station 6)
• Near Sewer Main (See Sewer Above)
• Near Water Main (See Water Above)
• Near Public School (Ramay Jr. High / ALLPS School of Innovation)
• Near University of Arkansas Campus
• Near Paved Trail (Side Path Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Lot 54A)
• Appropriate Future Land Use
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
1. A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the request to be compatible
with the surrounding context. The parcel is adjacent to a regional link-high
activity street (W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) and is already fully developed
as a commercial property. The parcel is adjacent to commercial
developments to the east and west, with primarily multi-family residential
properties making up the remainder of the adjacent properties. A small
pocket of industrial property is directly south of W. Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard. The current zoning, Residential Office, allows many commercial
uses such as limited business; and offices, studios, and related services by
right, with others such as eating places; neighborhood shopping goods;
clean technologies; and small-scale production allowed by conditional use
permit.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is consistent with
adopted land use policies, the Future Land Use Map designation, and goals
of City Plan 2040. The property has a weighted infill score of 8.5. A moderate-
high infill score indicates that the area can likely support additional intensity
if it is feasible under the proposed zoning entitlements. The request meets
Goal 1 of City Plan 2040 “We will make appropriate infill and revitalization
our highest priorities: encouraging the development or redevelopment of
vacant, mostly vacant, and underdeveloped property,” by providing the
opportunity for additional commercial infill along a regional high-activity
link. Residential uses are not permitted in the C-2 zoning district.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Planning Commission
August 14, 2023
RZN-2023-0019 (THOMPSON)
Page 3 of 13
Finding: Staff finds that a rezoning to C-2 is justified. Currently, the property is split-
zoned between R-O and C-2, with the existing restaurant split between them.
Staff was unable to locate a conditional use permit for Use Unit 13: Eating
Places within the R-O portion of the property and rezoning the parcel would
bring the restaurant into zoning compliance for the existing use. Further, the
purpose of the C-2 zoning district is “to encourage the functional grouping
of these commercial enterprises catering primarily to highway travelers,”
which is compatible with the properties location along a major thoroughfare.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The property is currently developed with a commercial restaurant
constructed in 2011. A rezoning from R-O to C-2 will increase the
developable area of the lot even if the existing building remains. The change
from R-O to C-2 would eliminate lot area minimums, reduce the side setback
from 15 feet to 0 feet, reduce the rear setback from 25 feet to 20 feet, and
allow the construction of an additional story of building height if developed
using traditional standards. If redeveloped using urban form standards, the
existing 50-foot front setback would be replaced by a build to zone located
from 10-25 feet from the property line, and the rear setback would be further
reduced to 15 feet. However, staff does not anticipate this will significantly
increase traffic danger or congestion. Shared drives within access
easements are currently used for both W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and
W. Venus Street, and additional development is not anticipated to
substantially impact these streets.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: Rezoning the property to C-2 is unlikely to alter the population density of the
city. Residential uses are not permitted in the C-2 zoning district.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted
under its existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even
though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the
proposed zoning is not desirable.
Finding: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommend forwarding RZN-2023-0019 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

Rezoning Request Letter
Property Address: 1634 W. MLK Jr. Blvd, Fayetteville, AR 72701
GM KB Fayetteville, LLC is requesting to rezone our property from the split zoning designation of R-O and
C-2 to be entirely zoned C-2.
Per the City of Fayetteville zoning guidelines, the Thoroughfare Commercial district is designed to
encourage the functional grouping of these commercial enterprises catering primarily to highway
travelers. We believe this is consistent with the development plan and the zoning of parcels in the same
vicinity of ours located on MLK Jr. Blvd. We think this zoning designation is compatible with uses in the
immediate area. We do not believe it conflicts with surrounding land uses.
