CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-1830
MEETING OF APRIL 2, 2024
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
Jessica Masters, Development Review Manager
FROM: Gretchen Harrison, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0008: Rezoning (3420 W. MOUNT COMFORT RD./THE GODDARD SCHOOL,
323): Submitted by BATES & ASSOCIATES for property located at 3420 W. MOUNT
COMFORT RD. in WARD 4. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL-
AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 0.13 acres. The request is to rezone the
property to CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES.
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 located northwest of the intersection of Salem Road and Mount Comfort Road in
northwest Fayetteville. The property contains a 0.13-acre portion of a 1.32-acre parcel which is currently zoned
R-A, Residential-Agricultural. The adjacent property to the north was rezoned from R-A, Residential-
Agricultural to CS, Community Services earlier this year (Ordinance 6715). A large site improvement plan to
develop both properties with a new school building and associated parking for The Goddard School is currently
under review by city staff (LSIP-2024-0003).
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from R-A, Residential-Agricultural to CS, Community
Services.
Public Comment: To date, staff has not received any public comment on this item.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds this rezoning request to be compatible with existing land use and zoning
patterns in the surrounding area. The property is currently zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural, and that zoning
district is designed, in part, to protect agricultural land until an orderly transition to urban development is
possible. The subject property is surrounded by undeveloped areas to the north and west, nonresidential uses
to the south, and single-family residences to the east. A rezoning to CS, Community Services, would
encourage a mixture of residential and commercial uses which could provide convenience goods and personal
services for people living in surrounding neighborhoods, in a traditional urban form with buildings addressing
the street. A rezoning from R-A to CS would also allow for more dense development and smaller lot sizes.
Where the R-A zoning district currently allows residential development at a density of one-half unit per acre,
the CS zoning district has no stated density limitation. Also, where R-A zoning allows for the creation of lots
with a minimum width of 200 feet and a minimum area of two acres, CS zoning would allow for the creation of
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
residential lots with a minimum width of 18 feet and nonresidential lots without limitation to width or area.
Further, the subject property is part of a larger parcel which is already developed and primarily in CS zoning.
Staff finds that rezoning the subject property from R-A to CS would make zoning in the area more uniform and
would be directly compatible with surrounding areas.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the City’s land use and zoning
plans. The subject property is designated as City Neighborhood area in the City Plan 2040 Future Land Use
Map, and it is located within a Tier Two Center as indicated on the plan’s Growth Concept Map. Staff finds that
a rezoning to CS would support those designations since the CS zoning district is intended to encourage the
development of smaller scale urban hubs that are characterized by a mixture of moderate-density residential
and commercial uses. Staff also finds the requested rezoning to be aligned with Goals 1 and 6 of City Plan
2040 since it would encourage increased development in an area that has a moderate infill score ranging
between 6 and 7, and since it would allow for the creation of additional housing units.
City Plan 2040 Infill Matrix: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 6-7 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 8, 2266 W. Deane St.)
• Near Sewer Main (eight-inch main, Salem Road)
• Near Water Main (eight-inch main, Salem Road)
• Near Public School (Holt Middle School)
• Near City Park (Clabber Creek Trail Corridor and Gary Hampton Softball Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (Clabber Creek Trail and Rupple Road)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
DISCUSSION:
At the March 11, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 9-0-0 forwarded this request to City Council
with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Payne made the motion and Commissioner Brink
seconded it. No commissioners commented on this item and no members of the public spoke at the meeting.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to forward RZN-2024-0008 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.”
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located northwest of the intersection of Salem Road and Mount Comfort
Road in northwest Fayetteville. The property contains a 0.13-acre portion of a 1.32-acre parcel
which is currently zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural. The adjacent property to the north was
rezoned from R-A, Residential-Agricultural to CS, Community Services earlier this year
(Ordinance 6715). A large site improvement plan to develop both properties with a new school
building and associated parking for The Goddard School is currently under review by city staff
(LSIP-2024-0003). Surrounding land uses and zoning are depicted in Table 1.

Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from R-A, Residential-Agricultural to CS,
Community Services.
Public Comment: To date, staff has not received any public comment on this item.
(updated with results)
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Streets: The parcel associated with the subject property is a corner lot with frontage along
Mount Comfort Road and Salem Road. Mount Comfort Road is a fully improved
Regional Link Street with asphalt paving, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. Salem
Road is a partially improved Neighborhood Link Street with asphalt paving, curb
and gutter, and partial sidewalks with some open ditches. Any street improvements
required in this area would be determined at the time of development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the subject property. An existing 12-inch water main is
present on the south side of Mount Comfort Road and an existing eight-inch main
is present on the west side of Salem Road.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject property. An existing eight-inch sewer
main is present on the north side of Mount Comfort Road.
Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District or
a FEMA-designated floodplain and no hydric soils or protected streams are present
on site. Any improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at the
time of development submittal.
Fire: Station 8, located at 2266 W. Deane St., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 1.4 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately four minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 6.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus one 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 six minutes for an engine and eight minutes for a ladder truck. Fire
apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed zoning district of CS, Community Services requires 20% minimum
canopy preservation. The current zoning district of R-A, Residential-Agricultural
requires 25% minimum canopy preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: The City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan
designates the property within the proposed rezone as City Neighborhood.
City Neighborhood areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and
provide a varying mix of nonresidential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest
spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single family to multi-family.
City Neighborhood Areas encourage complete, compact, and connected neighborhoods and non-
residential uses are intended to serve the residents of Fayetteville, rather than a regional
population. While they encourage dense development patterns, they do recognize existing
conventional strip commercial developments and their potential for future redevelopment in a
more efficient urban layout.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 6-7 for
this site with a weighted score of 7.5 at the highest level. The following elements of the matrix
contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 8, 2266 W. Deane St.)
• Near Sewer Main (eight-inch main, Salem Road)
• Near Water Main (eight-inch main, Salem Road)
• Near Public School (Holt Middle School)
• Near City Park (Clabber Creek Trail Corridor and Gary Hampton Softball Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (Clabber Creek Trail and Rupple Road)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
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 this rezoning request to be compatible
with existing land use and zoning patterns in the surrounding area. The
property is currently zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural, and that zoning
district is designed, in part, to protect agricultural land until an orderly
transition to urban development is possible. The subject property is
surrounded by undeveloped areas to the north and west, nonresidential uses
to the south, and single-family residences to the east. A rezoning to CS,
Community Services, would encourage a mixture of residential and
commercial uses which could provide convenience goods and personal
services for persons living in surrounding neighborhoods, in a traditional
urban form with buildings addressing the street. A rezoning from R-A to CS
would also allow for more dense development and smaller lot sizes. Where
the R-A zoning district currently allows residential development at a density
of one-half unit per acre, the CS zoning district has no stated density
limitation. Also, where R-A zoning allows for the creation of lots with a
minimum width of 200 feet and a minimum area of two acres, CS zoning
would allow for the creation of residential lots with a minimum width of 18
feet and nonresidential lots without limitation to width or area. Further, the
subject property is part of a larger parcel which is already developed and
primarily in CS zoning. Staff finds that rezoning the subject property from R-
A to CS would make zoning in the area more uniform and would be directly
compatible with surrounding areas.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent
with the City’s land use and zoning plans. The subject property is designated
as City Neighborhood area in the City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map, and
it is located within a Tier Two Center as indicated on the plan’s Growth
Concept Map. Staff finds that a rezoning to CS would support those
designations since the CS zoning district is intended to encourage the
development of smaller scale urban hubs that are characterized by a mixture
of moderate-density residential and commercial uses. Staff also finds the
requested rezoning to be aligned with Goals 1 and 6 of City Plan 2040 since
it would encourage increased development in an area that has a moderate
infill score ranging between 6 and 7, and since it would allow for the creation
of additional housing units.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that rezoning the subject property from R-A to CS is justified since
the R-A district is designed, in part, to protect agricultural land until an
orderly transition to urban development is possible, and staff has received
development plans for this property. Staff also finds the rezoning to be
aligned with existing zoning and development patterns in the area and
consistent with the city’s future land use plans.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: A rezoning from R-A to CS has the potential to increase traffic at this location
when considering that CS would allow for development that is greater in
density and intensity than the existing R-A zoning. Nevertheless, staff finds
that the proposed rezoning is not likely to create or appreciably increase
traffic danger or congestion at this location. The property has frontage along
a partially improved Neighborhood Link Street, Salem Road, and any street
improvements required in the area would be determined at the time of
development review.
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: The proposed rezoning has the potential to alter the population density since
it would allow for increased residential development. However, the property
currently has access to public streets, water, and sewer, and any necessary
upgrades or improvements to existing infrastructure would be determined at
the time of development. Fayetteville Public Schools did not comment on
this request.
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 recommends forwarding RZN-2024-0008 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

Re: Rezoning Request (Parcel #765-13603-004)
Dear Planning Staff,
The property owners of Washington County Parcel #765-43603-004 are applying for a rezoning of a
portion of said property. The portion of the property in question totals roughly 0.13 acres and is on the
north side of the parcel. It is currently zoned RA – Residential Agriculture. This rest of the was rezoned to
CS as part of the original Goddard school LSD.
The Applicant would like to keep the south 1.27 acres of the as CS. The Southern Portion (0.13 acres)
that is currently zoned R-A is requested to be rezoned to CS.
The purpose of this rezoning is to adhere to the city ordinance that states a businesses parking lot must
be the same zoning as the building. We are currently in the process of proposing an expansion of the
Goddard school and proposing parking over where the current property line exists. ( where the R-A
zoning is shown.
Zoning districts in the vicinity of the parcel in question are a mixture of R-A, C-S, and RSF-4. The
applicant asserts that the proposed zoning district fits well with the surrounding neighborhood, given its
variety of zoning districts and the presence of several CS zoned properties.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Geoffrey H. Bates, P.E.
