Pate, Development Services Director From: Andrew Garner, Senior Planner Date: June 24, 2009 Subject: Rezoning for Whitfield (RZN 09-3317) RECOMMENDATION Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of rezoning the subject property from RSF-4, Residential Single-family to MSC, Main Street Center located on the west side of Crossover Road approximately 0.5 mile north of Highway 16E. BACKGROUND The subject property contains 9.2 1 acres on the west side of Crossover Road, approximately 0.5 -mile north of Huntsville Road. The site is undeveloped with pasture and woodlands. There is a north -south trending stream/floodplain that traverses the property. The property is part of a larger 42.44 acre site, the western 32.53 acres is the potential site for the new Happy Hollow Elementary School. On June 11, 2009 the Subdivision Committee approved LSP 09- 3315 (Happy Hollow School) to create three legal lots of record, including the interior elementary school lot and the subject property consisting of two lots totaling 9.31 acres along Crossover Road. The property is bordered by the Cliffs Apartments to the north, Eastside Baptist Church to the south, the undeveloped potential site of the Happy Hollow Elementary school to the west, and single family residential to the east. The applicant proposes to rezone the property from RSF-4, Residential single-family to MSC, Main Street Center. DISCUSSION This item was heard at the regular Planning Commission meeting on June 22, 2009. One member of the public spoke in opposition of the rezoning discussing concern with commercial development creeping north along Crossover Road. The Planning Commission voted 6-0-1 (Kennedy recused) to forward this rezoning request to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. BUDGET IMPACT None. ORDINANCE NO.

Mountain St. THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS Fayetteville, AR 72701 Telephone: (479) 575-8267 PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission FROM: Andrew Garner, Senior Planner THRU: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director DATE: June 18,2009 Updated June 24. 2009 RZN 09-3317: (WHITFIELD / CROSSOVER RD., 527): Submitted by CRAFTON, TULL, SPARKS & ASSOC. for property located at APPROXIMATELY 0.50 MILES N OF HWY 16E, W OF CROSSOVER ROAD. The property is zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY -4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 9.91 acres. The request is to rezone the subject property to MSC, Main Street Center. Planner: Andrew Garner Property: The subject property contains 9.91 acres on the west side of Crossover Road, approximately 0.5 -mile north of Huntsville Road. The site is undeveloped with pasture and woodlands. There is a north -south trending stream/floodplain that traverses the property. Surrounding land use and zoning is depicted on Table 1. Table I Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Direction from Site Land Use Zoning North Multi -Family Residential (Cliffs Apartments) RSF-4 South Undeveloped pasture RSF-4 East Single Family Residential; Eastside Baptist Church RSF-4 West* Undeveloped Rural Residential RSF-4 *Potential site for the new Happy Hollow Elementary School, proposed P-1, Institutional zoning. The property is part of a larger 42.44 acre site, the western 33.13 acres is the potential site for the new Happy Hollow Elementary School. On June 11, 2009 the Subdivision Committee approved LSP 09-3315 (Happy Hollow School) to create three legal lots of record, including the interior elementary school lot and the subject property consisting of two lots along Crossover Road. Proposal: The applicant originally requested a rezoning to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, on the subject property. After hearing staffs concerns with adding a strip commercial development pattern in this area, the applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RSF-4 to MSC, Main Street Center to "discourage suburban sprawl" and allow for "traditional town form" along a Principal Arterial roadway consistent with City Plan 2025. Public Comment: Staff has received some phone calls opposed to rezoning the property for commercial use. K:Reports l20091PCReportsll5-June 22IRZN 09-3317 (Whitfield).doc INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The site has access to Crossover Road. Crossover Road is a fully improved multi -lane state highway in this location. Street improvements will need to be evaluated at the time of development. Water: Public water is available to the property. There is a 24" main along Crossover Road. Public water will need to be extended through the property to provide domestic and fire flow for any proposed development. Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the site. There is a 10" running through this property. Public mains may need to be extended through the property to serve any proposed development. Drainage: Standard improvements and requirements for drainage will be required for the development. This property is affected by the 1 00 -year floodplain. Fire: At the time of publication of this report no comments were provided from the Fire Department. Police: It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this rezoning will not substantially alter the population density, create an undesirable increase in load on police services, or create an undesirable increase in traffic danger and congestion. CITYPLAN2025 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2025 Future Land Use Plan designates a majority of this site as City Neighborhood Area. Rezoning this property to MSC along a Principal Arterial (Crossover Road/State Highway 265) is consistent with the City Neighborhood Area designation that encourages a dense urban fabric with mixed and low -intensity nonresidential uses. The MSC zoning is also consistent with City Plan 2025 Goal 2, "We will discourage suburban sprawl ", and Goal 3, "We will make traditional town form the standard". The MSC center zoning does not permit a typical commercial strip -center development pattern with vast parking lots adjacent to the street that is common along many of the City's arterial streets, and is discouraged by the City's land use policies. Rather, the MSC zoning requires a compact and complete development pattern with buildings close to the street and a mix of uses. A small portion of this site associated with floodplain is designated as Natural Area. These sensitive areas will be reviewed in detail at the time of development to ensure that they are incorporated into the design of the project to minimize impacts. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the MSC rezoning based on findings stated herein. The traditional development pattern and mixed use allowed under this zoning are appropriate in this location on a principal arterial that is an extension of the City Neighborhood node around the major intersection of K: I Reportsl20091PC Reporlsl ]5 -June 221RZN 09-33/7 (Whitfield). doc two state highways (Crossover Road/Huntsville Road). The MSC zoning would encourage a traditional development pattern on the property, allowing this site to make a greater contribution to being a complete neighborhood by providing needed non-residential services and establishing the City's desired development pattern; rather than a single -use commercial zoning that has been typically proposed along the state highways bisecting Fayetteville. The benefit gained to the City of MSC zone over a C-2 zone is the form of the development that results on the site, which is a more desirable pattern of growth. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES ❑ Approved X Forwarded ❑ Denied Motion: Lack Second: Zant Vote: 6-0-1 (Kennedy recused) Date: June 22, 2009 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Required YES ❑ Approved ❑ Denied Date: July 21, 2009 (1" reading if recommended) 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: Location. The property is designated as City Neighborhood Area in the City Plan 2025 Future Land Use Plan. The proposed MSC zoning is consistent with the City's land use planning objectives, principles and policies to encourage complete, compact, and connected neighborhoods indicated by the City Neighborhood Area designation. The Guiding Policies for the City Neighborhood Area discuss that non-residential uses should be provided in areas that are accessible for the convenience of individuals living in residential districts. The subject property is located in the vicinity of a major intersection of two state highways (Crossover Road and Huntsville Road) providing north - south and east -west connection through Fayetteville. While the site is not considered a `node', in the sense of a concentrated mixture of uses at a major intersection, this site is an extension of the City Neighborhood node associated with that intersection that has been planned to provide non-residential services to the numerous residents living in southeast Fayetteville, where there are limited amounts of non-residential uses and zonings. The City Council identified this site as a Controlled Growth Sector in City Plan 2025 and staff finds it is an appropriate location for mixed use along this busy state highway. Development Pattern. With the adoption of City Plan 2025 in 2006, the City Council made a policy decision to change future development patterns from the post World War II suburban pattern with strict separation of uses to a "traditional town form" pattern. City Plan 2025 Goals 2 and 3 state, "We will K. IReporls120091PC Reports 15 -June 221RZN 09-3317 (WhitjIeld).doe discourage suburban sprawl" and "We will make traditional town form the standard". The MSC center zoning does not permit a typical commercial strip - center development that is common along the City's arterial streets, and is now discouraged by the City's land use policies. Rather, the MSC zoning requires a compact and complete development pattern with buildings close to the street, parking located behind, and a mix of uses, consistent with these goals. By introducing this form -based zoning along a major arterial the desired "traditional town form" pattern will be encouraged. This is a positive step towards meeting the goals of City Plan 2025 and a shift from the existing development pattern on the City's other arterials such as College Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Wedington Drive. In addition, the introduction of multiple uses adjacent to an arterial and other infrastructure takes advantage of the infrastructure improvements that have already occurred; this is a much more desirable practice of infill, as opposed to siting new areas on the edge of town, where infrastructure must be extended. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The proposed zoning is needed as the existing RSF-4 zoning would only allow for single family residences. This site fronts a busy highway with high-speed traffic. Much of the property is not feasible to be developed for single family residences in a typical RSF-4 fashion. The site has been identified as a Controlled Growth Sector in the City's Future Land Use Plan and designated for higher intensity uses — the existing zoning does not accomplish the goals of the City for future use of the property. The proposed MSC zoning would allow the flexibility for mixed uses along this busy transportation corridor. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The proposed zoning has the potential to generate additional traffic on the surrounding street system over the existing RSF-4 zoning because of the commercial and multi -family uses that would be permitted. However, due to this site being located directly on an improved state highway and in the vicinity of a signalized intersection, the existing street infrastructure is adequate. Staff does not find that this rezoning would appreciably increase traffic danger or congestion. Access points would be reviewed in conformance with the Access Management Ordinance at the time of development to ensure safe ingress and egress; street improvements would also be evaluated and required at the time of development. 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 K. (Reports 120091 PC Reports 15 -June 22WZN 09-3317 (Whi f eld). doc facilities. Finding: The proposed zoning would increase the potential population density as the MSC zoning district does not have a maximum density, compared with four (4) units per acres under the RSF-4 zoning. This location directly on a major transportation corridor near a signalized intersection has adequate existing infrastructure and can accommodate high density. Increased load on public services was taken into consideration and recommendations from Engineering, Fire, and Police Departments are included in this report. Significant adverse impacts to public services would not result with the incorporation of standard improvements as part of the development. 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; Finding: It is impractical for all of the property to remain under the RSF-4 zoning classification for reasons discussed in Finding No. 2. This site has the potential to support a dense urban form of development in a traditional pattern, as previously identified by City Council with the identification of this site as a Controlled Growth Sector and City Neighborhood Area on the Future Land Use Plan. Staff finds that the proposal for MSC zoning on a major transportation corridor in this situation is appropriate. The site will utilize existing infrastructure and result in the potential for a traditional town form as opposed to suburban development pattern. 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: Not applicable. Staff recommends in favor of the requested zoning. K.-Weportsl20091PC Reportsl ] 5 -June 221RZN 09-3317 (Whitfield) .doc 161.21 Main Street/Center (A) Purpose. A greater range of uses is expected and encouraged in the Main Street / Center. The Center is more spatially compact and is more likely to have some attached buildings than Downtown General or Neighborhood Conservation. Multi -story buildings in the Center are well -suited to accommodate a mix of uses, such as apartments or offices above shops.

It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this RZN will not substantially alter the population density, and will not create an appreciable or undesirable increase in the load on police services. This RZN will not create an appreciable increase in traffic danger and congestion. Sincerely, Captain William Brown Fayetteville Police Department 479.636.4838 t 479.631.6224 f www.craftonEuflsparks.com June 11, 2009 Planning Commission City of Fayetteville 125 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Dear Planning Commission: Crafton Tull Sparks architecture I engineering Birmingham Conway Little Rock Oklahoma City Rogers Russellville Tulsa Wichita This letter shall accompany the Rezone request for approximately 9.91 acres of land from RSF-4 (Residential Single Family — 4 units/ac) to MS/C (Main Street / Center). The subject property is located along the west side of Hwy. 265 (Crossover Road), approximately 0.5 miles north of the intersection between Hwy. 16 (Huntsville Road) and Hwy. 265 (Crossover Road). The rezone of this property shall be in conjunction with a tract split of the same property. Current Ownership Information: Currently the property is owned by Andrea Whitfield (166 Ivy Brook Lane, Collierville, TN 38017). Reason (need) for requesting zoning change: With the successful rezoning and sale of the property that is being proposed for Happy Hallow Elementary School. The remaining property will be perfectly suited for some form of mixed use or neighborhood service along Crossover Road. This property can bring support businesses to the community that do not exist and be situated for easy access by parents dropping off and picking up their children. How will the property relate to surrounding properties in terms of landuse, traffic, appearance, and signage. The adjacent property to the north consists of The Cliff's apartment complex. To the west is the proposed Happy Hollow property. The Eastside Missionary Baptist Church abuts the property along the south. Across Crossover Road is the Wymann/Stonebridge Subdivision. Availability of water and sewer. A large water main is located along the west side of Crossover Road. It is planned that once the school site develops; a connection will be made between the existing 8" stubout from the northwest and the existing main along Crossover Road. A Sanitary Sewer main is accessible along the Crossover Branch creek which runs along the east side of the property to be rezoned. This existing sewer line is 10" in diameter except for a small portion in the northwest corner of the site which is 20" in diameter. 4 ) Crafton Tull Sparks The degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans. The 2025 Land Use Plan shows the property as City Neighborhood. The proposed Happy Hollow School, adjacent to the west is shown as Residential Neighborhood. The property to the south is shown as City Neighborhood also. We believe that the MS/C zoning fits within the guidelines of the 2025 plan and complements both the Residential Neighborhood and City Neighborhood planed areas. Whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time of the request The proposed zoning is needed at this time. With the purchase of the land due east by the Fayetteville School District the remaining land will be more likely to be developed. Without rezoning the property developers will be unwilling to purchase or consider this property for development. For this reason it is necessary at this point to rezone the property so that the property can be placed on the market and bring additional services to this area. Whether the proposed zoning will create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. This zoning change will not directly impact traffic or congestion on area streets. Once development begins a center turn lane will be added to Crossover Road to help maintain the flow of traffic. Whether the proposed zoning will alter the population density and thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, wul .,ewer facilities. The proposed zoning should not have any adverse affect on public services and infrastructure. Why it would be impractical to use the land. for any of the uses permitted under its existing zoning classification. The current zoning is not necessarily an impractical use for this area. However, we feel that the proposed zoning is a complement to the current and surrounding zoning's.
