CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-1835
MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Jessica Masters, Development Review Manager
SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0007: Rezoning (VARIOUS PARK PROPERTIES/ FAYETTEVILE PARKS,
NATURAL RESOURCES, AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS, PLAT PAGE VARIES): Submitted
by CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE STAFF for VARIOUS PARK PROPERTIES LOCATED
WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF FAYETTEVILLE. The properties are in VARIOUS
ZONING DISTRICTS and total approximately 2,461.60 acres. The request is to rezone
the properties to P-1, INSTITUTIONAL.
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 properties are owned by the City of Fayetteville and managed by the City of Fayetteville
Department of Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs. This includes a wide-ranging collection of 15
properties that encompass over 2,400 acres and vary in size, scale, and level of development. They range
from small, undeveloped neighborhood parks and greenspaces that have been acquired through parkland
dedication, to parks that are developed with larger, regional attractions, such as Centennial Park, Lake
Fayetteville, and Lake Sequoyah. Following two recent 2019 Bond Project redevelopment projects (the Yvonne
Richardson Community Center expansion, and the redevelopment of the Lake Fayetteville softball fields), it
came to staff’s attention that many Parks properties were out of compliance with current zoning standards and
do not afford by-right use as parks. While non-conforming properties can continue to exist and be maintained,
ordinance prohibits the expansion or reconstruction of those facilities if they are not in compliance with current
zoning standards. Additionally, the recent adoption of the Parks Master Plan in February 2023 (Imagine
Tomorrow’s Parks) established guiding principles and goals for the next ten years that are, in many cases,
predicated on the assumption that many of the subject properties will be programmed to greater or lesser
degree as parkland.
Request: The City of Fayetteville Department of Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs requests to
rezone the subject properties from their current zoning designations (various) to P-1, Institutional. This
rezoning request is intended to align Parks-owned properties with the correct zoning designation, similar to the
effort completed in 2008 (Ordinance 5116).
Public Comment: Staff have received many inquiries from the public about the proposal, but no direct
comments in opposition to or support of the request. Rather, most members of the public that staff spoke with
were satisfied upon learning that the effort was to ensure that Parks properties were zoned according to their

existing or intended use. Members of the public did ask questions regarding any planned development on the
heels of this rezoning and were directed to the Parks department directly for feedback on future development
and master planning processes.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the proposed zoning change is compatible with surrounding land uses.
The properties are already being used as parks facilities, though with different classifications associated with
them. The Parks Department uses 8 different classifications of parks: Regional Parks, Community Parks,
Neighborhood Parks, Non-City Parks, Special Use, Natural Area, Undeveloped Parks, and Trail Corridors and
Greenways. Each designation has a specific set of criteria, and staff finds those criteria can be met with a
rezoning to the P-1 zoning district, especially with the consideration for the adoption of new standards to apply
to that district.
The Regional Parks (Centennial, Lake Fayetteville, Lake Sequoyah, and Lake Wilson) are meant to have a
regional draw and have direct access from arterial streets and access to regional trail systems. Zoning these
locations as P-1 would allow for the continuation of the existing uses, such as lakes, trails, and the
redevelopment of ball and play fields. The Neighborhood Parks under consideration (Bayyari Park, Clarence
Craft Park, White River Park, Rodney Ryan Park, Yvonne Richardson Community Center) are typically 2 to 10
acres in size, and are meant to provide leisure opportunities (including play fields, and shaded areas for
gathering) within walking distance of individual neighborhoods. The uses, setbacks, and allowances in P-1
would allow for the continuation of these neighborhood needs to be met, by allowing for Use Unit 4 by-right,
where many of those neighborhood parks are currently zoned for residential uses. Many of the parks under
consideration with this request are currently “Undeveloped,” including Combs Park, Lierly Lane Park, Owl
Creek Park, Quarry Trace Park Land, South Yard Park Land, and Hughmont Village Park Land. Undeveloped
parks differ from “Natural Areas” in that they are not necessarily intended to remain undeveloped but have
perhaps not yet been improved in accordance with long-term plans. Many of the parks in this classification
have only been acquired within the last decade through parkland dedication with associated residential
developments.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning to P-1, Institutional is compatible with the Future Land Use
Map, which in most instances (though not all) identify the areas in question as Civic and Private Open Space.
By rezoning to P-1, these parks can be developed or redeveloped to help meet future goals and serve the
needs of the community. If they are to stay in their existing zoning districts (such as RSF-1, NC, or I-1), the City
would have a more difficult time implementing the 2023 Parks Master Plan, and would involve a more
piecemeal approach to rezoning these properties. Staff finds that taking this broader approach saves City
resources and time instead of rezoning at the time of a specific development proposal or funding opportunity.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates varying scores for the subject Parks
properties. Full evaluation of each site is provided in the attached Planning Commission report.
DISCUSSION:
At the March 11, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, a unanimous vote of 9-0-0 forwarded the request to City
Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Sparkman made the motion and Commissioner
Brink seconded. Commissioners offered support of the request, appreciating the batch approach to the
rezoning as Parks continue to develop, and finding the request to rezone to P-1 to be a compatible zoning
district for parks and recreational purposes. No public comment was offered at the meeting.

Kyle Sylvester- Circuit Clerk
TO: City of Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Jessie Masters, Development Review Manager
MEETING DATE: March 11, 2024
SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0007: Rezoning (VARIOUS PARK PROPERTIES/
FAYETTEVILE PARKS, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND CULTURAL
AFFAIRS, PP VARIES): Submitted by CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE STAFF
for VARIOUS PARK PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
OF FAYETTEVILLE. The properties are in VARIOUS ZONING DISTRICTS
and total approximately 2,461.60 acres. The request is to rezone the
properties to P-1, INSTITUTIONAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends RZN-2024-0007 be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation for
approval.
BACKGROUND:
The subject properties are owned by the City of Fayetteville and managed by the City of
Fayetteville Department of Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs. A wide-ranging
collection of properties encompassing over 2400 acres of City-owned land, the properties vary in
size, scale, and level of development. They range from small, undeveloped neighborhood parks
and greenspaces that have been acquired through parkland dedication, to parks that are
developed with larger, regional Fayetteville attractions, such as Centennial Park, Lake Fayetteville
and Lake Sequoyah. Following two recent 2019 Bond Project redevelopment projects (the
Yvonne Richardson Community Center expansion, and the redevelopment of the Lake
Fayetteville softball fields), it came to staff’s attention that many Parks properties were out of
compliance with current zoning standards. While non-conforming properties can continue to exist
and be maintained, code prohibits the expansion or reconstruction of those facilities if they are
not in compliance with current zoning standards. The City also recently adopted the Parks Master
Plan in February 2023 (Imagine Tomorrow’s Parks), which established guiding principles and
goals for the next ten years. The full list of properties under consideration can be found in Table
1.
Request: City of Fayetteville Department of Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs
requests to rezone the subject properties from their current zoning designations (various) to P-1,
Institutional. This rezoning request is intended to align Parks-owned properties with the correct
zoning designation.
Public Comment: Staff have received many inquiries from the public about the proposal, but no
direct comments in opposition or support of the request. Rather, most members of the public that
staff spoke to were satisfied upon learning that the effort was to make sure that Parks properties
were zoned correctly. Members of the public did ask questions regarding any planned
development on the heels of this rezoning, and were directed to the Parks department directly for
feedback on future development and master planning processes.

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 that the proposed zoning change is
compatible with surrounding land uses. The properties are already being
used as parks facilities, though with different classifications associated with
them. The Parks Department uses 8 different classifications of parks:
Regional Parks, Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Non-City Parks,
Special Use, Natural Area, Undeveloped Parks, and Trail Corridors and
Greenways. Each designation has a specific set of criteria, and staff finds
those criteria can be met with a rezoning to the P-1 zoning district, especially
with the consideration for the adoption of new standards to apply to that
district.
The Regional Parks (Centennial, Lake Fayetteville, Lake Sequoyah, and Lake
Wilson) are meant to have a regional draw and have direct access from
arterial streets and access to regional trail systems. Zoning these locations
as P-1 would allow for the continuation of the existing uses, such as lakes,
trails, and the redevelopment of ball and playfields. The Neighborhood Parks
under consideration (Bayyari Park, Clarence Craft Park, White River Park,
Rodney Ryan Park, Yvonne Richardson Community Center) are typically 2
to 10 acres in size, and are meant to provide leisure opportunities (including
play fields, and shaded areas for gathering) within walking distance of
individual neighborhoods. The uses, setbacks, and allowances in P-1 would
allow for the continuation of these neighborhood needs to be met, by
allowing for Use Unit 4 by-right, where many of those neighborhood parks
are currently zoned for residential uses. Many of the parks under
consideration with this request are currently “Undeveloped,” including
Combs Park, Lierly Land Park, Owl Creek Park, Quarry Trace Park Land,
South Yard Park Land, and Hughmont Village Park Land. Undeveloped parks
differ from “Natural Areas” in that they are not necessarily intended to
remain undeveloped but have perhaps not yet been improved in accordance
with long-term plans. Many of the parks in this classification have only been
acquired within the last decade through parkland dedication with associated
residential developments.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning to P-1, Institutional is
compatible with the Future Land Use Map, which in most instances (though
not all) identify the areas in question as Civic and Private Open Space. By
rezoning to P-1, these parks can be redeveloped to help meet future goals
and needs to meet the neighborhoods and immediate communities that they
serve. If they are to stay in their existing zoning districts (such as RSF-1, NC,
or I-1), the City would have a more difficult time implementing the 2023 Parks
Master Plan, and would involve a more piecemeal approach to rezoning
these properties. Staff finds that taking this broader approach saves City
resources and time instead of rezoning at the time of a specific development
proposal or funding opportunity.

2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that the recommended zoning is justified and needed to avoid
issues in the future with any expansion of a non-conforming use, and to
ensure that city-owned property is zoned accordingly. While this proposed
zoning change may not identify all future changing needs of the Parks,
Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs Department, staff finds that zoning
the property to the established zoning district for parks and associated
cultural and recreational facilities to be an appropriate course of action and
protects the public interest.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: Rezoning the properties will not likely increase traffic danger or congestion
in a manner that is inconsistent with the way the properties are already used.
No redevelopment plans are currently underway, and the properties have
already been acquired and used for parks and recreational purposes. With
any proposed development, full impact on traffic and congestion would be
evaluated at that time.
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 properties will not substantially increase the potential
population density or load on public services. The proposed rezoning
districts are substantially compatible with the existing development patterns
and uses that currently exist on each property. The Police and Fire
Departments have expressed no objections to the proposal. The Fayetteville
School District also expressed no objections to the proposal.
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.

RE: Letter of Intent for Park Property Rezonings
Property Information: Various, see attached
Current Owner: City of Fayetteville
113 W Mountain St, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701
Applicant: City of Fayetteville
113 W Mountain St, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701
This letter serves as a request for rezoning 15 park properties to P-1 Institutional zoning.
Legal Description:
Various, see attached.
Property Description:
Fayetteville Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs owns over 50 parks and park lands.
The majority of these properties are zoned P-1 as a result of a large rezoning effort in the mid-
2000’s. Several properties have been acquired since then and are in need of rezoning.
The properties listed on the enclosed attachment “A” are proposed to be rezoned from various
zonings to Institutional Use (P-1). Per City Code, the Institutional District is designed to protect
and facilitate use of property owned by larger public institutions and church related
organizations. This zoning allows cultural and recreational facilities as permitted uses.
Additionally, the zoning allows for signage and uses not allowed in many of the existing zonings
such as active park facilities including courts, ballfields, etc.
Enclosed please find Attachments “A” and “B”. Attachment “A” illustrates the locations of the
proposed park properties for this rezoning request. There are 15 park properties included in this
request. Attachment “B” lists the park properties along with the current zoning(s) and
address(es).
No adverse affect on adjoining properties is anticipated as all of the properties are existing
parks with the exception of Hughmount Park Land, Owl Creek Park Land, Lierly Lane Park Land
Quarry Trace Park Land and South Yard Park Land, which were all dedicated to become future
parks and simply have not been developed yet.
I don't see these attachments included. Can you please upload them?

Days and Hours of Operation:
Parks are generally open from daylight until dusk. Lakes are the exception and are open from
daylight until dusk.
Parking:
Parking is existing in the parks or will be properly designed when land is developed as a park.
Outdoor Lighting:
Lighting varies throughout the park system depending on use.
Noise:
Noise from the facility is not expected to change and is typical of park activities. As new parks
come online such as the Upper Ramble, additional events are anticipated to generate noise.
Trash and refuse service:
Trash is managed by the Parks Maintenance in the Public Works Department.
