Project Summary
The proposed +/- 125 residential unit development aims to provide a mix of housing types in a variety of formats
structured in a walkable neighborhood format, with a central linear storm park lined by park-facing townhomes.
The development will include three parcels (765-13589-000, 765-13593-000, and 765-13593-002) totaling around
16.7 acres. The entire site is shown as City Neighborhood area on the Future Land Use Map with midrange infill
score potentials across the site. The property is served by existing adequate water and sewer facilities in Mt
Comfort Road to the south, Rupple Road to the west, and W Lonoke to the north and northeast. This proposed
development ideally serves the surrounding neighborhood and City goals by sensitively transitioning density from
the north to the south through a mixture of unit types offering abundant green space, walkability, and community
potential.

General Project Concept
Street and The project aims to connect N Rupple Road more cohesively into the existing development
Lot Layout north of the project site, providing an extension of Lonoke Drive to the west to Rupple Road
and south to a new east-west connection. To maximize site efficiency with odd geometries, a
large linear storm park provides frontage for an interior set of alley loaded townhouses. This
arrangement both faces public roads and existing single family homes with more traditional
lower density single family homes while providing appropriate density and variety in housing
type and price point. The linear storm park directs water downhill to the north, to the low point
of the site, which is preserved as a tree preservation and landscape buffer around the storm
park. The resulting large central block is compliant with maximum block sizes but is further
bifurcated with a pedestrian path and enhanced crosswalk that provides safe interior block
connection through the neighborhood to Holt Middle School across Rupple Road from the
project. The main north/south street connection provides a shared commercial access to the CS
zoned commercial neighboring property along Mount Comfort, to minimize curb cuts and
provide rational and safe access to the existing High Activity Corridor. With its mixture of units
types, pedestrian alleys, and common greens, the site design builds community potential and
encourages walking and biking both within the neighborhood and to adjacent schools.

Buffer Areas The proposed development provides a landscape buffer along the northern boundary and
residential lots similar in size and setback to the adjacent existing lots. Smaller home lots face
Rupple and the commercial development to the south, which transition to townhouses against
the parcel to the southeast, which is intended to become a clustered massing of small
multifamily along Mount Comfort concurrent with this development.
Tree The property’s long-term use for intensive agriculture has left little existing tree canopy except at
Preservation the edges of the property. The site plan’s geometry aligns to tree preservation plans to respect
Areas these existing fence line trees and the site’s natural topography.
Storm Water The site contains a large high point roughly in the center. Three stormwater facilities will be
and Detention provided at the low points at the northwestern property boundary, the northeastern property
Areas corner, and adjacent the multifamily and townhouse properties along Mount Comfort. A linear
storm park running north / south on the western half of the property directs storm flow through
grassed swales as a landscape amenity to slow water flow and remove sediment in planting
areas.
Undisturbed The site is almost entirely previously disturbed by long term agricultural use and use as an airfield
Natural for a number of years. Some existing larger trees and more natural areas along the northern
Areas property line will be preserved.
Existing and Existing utilities are well provided and further discussed in Section M: Impacts to City Services

Proposed Planning Areas
The proposed Neighborhood Zones would replace existing Residential-Agriculture Zoning on approximately 16.2
acres of the site and Community Services Zoning on approximately ½ an acre of the site at the southwest corner
adjacent to Kum and Go. Neighborhood Zone A accounts of approximately 9.9 acres of the site, and Neighborhood
Zone B accounts for approximately 6.9 acres of the site.

Proposed Zoning Standards
____________________________________________
Neighborhood Zone A
(A) Purpose.
• Provide an appropriately flexible neighborhood buffer to commercial, institutional, and single family
residential uses
• Create a flexible neighborhood pattern with a variety of adaptable building types limited by mass and
height rather than use or unit numbers;
• Promote and maintain the development of diverse housing types at a range of sizes and price points
for a range of household arrangements to meet the needs of all citizens in all phases of life;
• Allow more efficient and flexible use of existing and new housing stock at appropriate densities to
support the long term maintenance of required infrastructure;
(B) Intent. Planning staff shall evaluate the following criteria for suitability of uses in the Neighborhood Zone A:
(1) The property shall have infrastructure (water, sewer, gas, electric, etc.) that meets City standard, in the
minimum easements and land encumbrances to ensure practical maintainability and access to all units
without restricting future adaptations of site usage;
(2) The form and massing of buildings should be scaled and detailed to create an inviting and timeless
neighborhood pattern;
(3) Block structure should be compact and connected, with a preference for alleys and pedestrian
pathways creating additional mid-block connectivity and flexibility;
(4) Buildings should address the street appropriately with visible pedestrian entries on the primary façade
connected to pedestrian pathways;
(5) Parking and car connectivity should be secondary to safe, walkable, adaptable block structure and
building usage
(6) Building setbacks from the street should be minimized wherever possible to shorten the length of
utility service lines and minimize maintenance and leakage potential;
(7) Side yards are encouraged to be minimized unless functionally useful for building occupants or
necessary for services like trash, stormwater, and utility pedestals. This allows additional units to be
provided and reduces the length of infrastructure required to serve each unit, creating more
financially sustainable neighborhoods;

Analysis of Site Characteristics
The existing site contains a gentle high point roughly in the center, falling gradually away to Clabber Creek to the
north and Hamestring Creek to the south. The property is relatively level for Fayetteville and has been cleared and
intensively farmed since at least the middle of the last century based on aerial photos. The site does not include
hydric soils, historic wet prairie, or other sensitive ecologies. It is also outside the floodway of both adjacent
creeks.

Recreational Facilities
The proposed development includes a large linear park for passive recreation and is walkable to the extensive
Clabber Creek park and the future Underwood Park facilities. The site is located along the Clabber Creek trail
connection to Mount Comfort. It is also walkable to both Holt Middle School (directly across the street) and
Holcomb Elementary School ½ a mile to the north.

Reasons a Zoning Change is Required
The current zoning of Residential - Agriculture that governs most of the site (+/- 16.6 acres out of +/- 18.4 total
acres) is not suitable to fulfill the City’s needs for housing its rapidly increasing population or its goals for this
specific area as a Tier 2 and Tier 3 center on Fayetteville’s Growth Concept Map. Additionally, the walkable and
mixed unit development proposed here is the kind of development described in the City Plan 2040 that creates
livable communities that require less investment in infrastructure by the City. Refer to Sections J and K following
this section for more discussion of these elements.

Relation to Existing and Surrounding Properties
The surrounding properties are a mix of single family residential to the north, commercial uses along the arterial
Mount Comfort corridor, and institutional uses to the west with Holt Middle School and Mount Comfort
Presbyterian Church. The proposed neighborhood lines the single-family adjacencies with traditional residential
lots. Smaller home lots face the institutional uses to the west, while a small cluster of multifamily masses are
located along Mount Comfort. The mixed unit type neighborhood provides a natural variety of housing product
and price points with intensity stepped down from existing single family home lots to multifamily along Mount
Comfort. Refer to Section K following this section for discussion of how this transition of density and use is ideally
appropriate for both realizing City planning goals and providing services to the surrounding community.

Project Compliance with Fayetteville Comprehensive Land Use Plan + City Plan 2040
The project site is part of both a planned Tier 2 Center at Mount Comfort and Rupple and a planned Tier 3 Center
at Mount Comfort and Salem Road.
The project site is on the outside shoulder of a Tier Two center, a smaller scale urban with fewer services,
residents, and jobs than Tier One Centers. Tier Two Centers largely exist to provide services and employment to
residents within two to three miles. They are characterized by housing that ranges from one - to three- story
detached dwellings, duplexes, row houses, and mid-rise apartments. Commercial uses will be mixed-use and office
buildings. The adjacencies of Holt Middle School directly to the west and low density single-family to the north
make commercial services and multifamily more jarring along the western edge of the site and render the
moderate density residential use proposed here ideal.
Tier Three Centers are intended to serve the immediately surrounding residential areas and will cater to the
specific needs of a small market. As a result, no two will be the same. Some may be characterized by one or two
commercial and/or multi-family buildings located on a single intersection while others develop into a mixed-use
core extending over multiple blocks and serving a broad mix of housing. The nodal nature of Tier Three Centers are
important for providing a unique sense of place to a neighborhood. Tier Three Centers shown on The Growth
Concept Map are not intended to be inclusive of all non-residential services that may be identified at a
neighborhood-scale analysis. Neighborhood-scale and micro-retail locations are embedded within the general land
use policies discussed throughout City Plan, not on the Growth Concept Map. The project site is also located with
frontage on a High Activity Corridor along Mount Comfort.
The proposed development is wholly in line with the City Plan 2040’s primary goals of compact, complete, and
connected growth which is intentional, sustainable, and mixed use. Transit ready and commercial supportive
densities are provided, and housing is centered on low impact development stormwater features.

The Proposed development’s location within a City Neighborhood Area (rather than the less intensive Residential
Neighborhood Area) reflects the increased density and emphasis on walkability that is required to support the Tier
Center and Transit Readiness Goals of the City. City Neighborhood Areas are more densely developed than
residential neighborhood areas and provide a mix of non-residential and residential uses. This designation supports
the widest spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single-family to multi-family. Non-
residential and commercial uses are primarily located at street intersections and along major corridors. Ideally,
commercial uses would have a residential component and vary in size, variety and intensity. Th e street network
should have a high number of intersections creating a system of small blocks with a high level of connectivity
between neighborhoods. Building setbacks and landscaping are urban in form with street trees typically being
located within the sidewalk zone.
City Neighborhood Areas encourage complete, compact and connected neighborhoods and 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 development and their potential for future
redevelopment in a more efficient urban layout. The guiding policies for City Neighborhood Areas are:
• Protect adjoining properties from the potential adverse impacts associated with non- residential uses
adjacent to, and within, residential areas with proper mitigation measures that address scale, massing,
traffic, noise, appearance, lighting, and drainage.
• Provide non-residential uses that are accessible for the convenience of individuals living in residential
districts and where compatibility with existing development patterns is desired.
• Reduce the length and number of vehicle trips generated by residential development by enhancing the
accessibility to these areas. Walkability should be integral to the design of the street and neighborhood
shopping should be within a reasonable walking distance from residential uses.
Planning Commission
March 25, 2024
PZD-2024-0001 (HOLT VILLAGE)
Page 31 of 46
Holt Village Planned Zoning District
Page 23 of 31
• Encourage developers to designate and plan for mixed-use corners at the time of approval to properly
plan for accessibility to these areas.
• Encourage pedestrian-friendly mixed-use buildings with transparent glass for commercial uses at street
level and building entrances that address and connect to the street and sidewalk.
• Encourage a block and street layout that promotes walkable, bicycle friendly street designs with slow
design speeds
• Encourage mixed-use development that is sensitive to surrounding residential uses and allows for day and
night utilization of available parking.
• Utilize principles of traditional residential urban design to create compatible, livable and accessible
neighborhoods.
• Encourage properties to redevelop in an urban form utilizing form-based zoning designations.
• Protect and restore Fayetteville’s outstanding residential architecture of all periods and styles.
• Utilize the Master Street Plan and incorporate bike lanes, parkways and landscaped medians to preserve
the character of the City and enhance the utilization of alternative modes of transportation.
• Manage non-residential development within and adjoining residential neighborhoods to minimize
nuisances.
• Minimize through traffic on minor residential streets, while providing connections between
neighborhoods to encourage openness and neighborliness.
Additionally, this proposed development aligns with the City’s
2013 Wedington Corridor Plan by providing missing middle
housing types, offering better pedestrian crossings within the
neighborhood, enhancing walkability, providing infill housing and
infill neighborhood services, and creating accessible open spaces.

Traffic Study
A traffic study has not been deemed necessary at this time. Off Site Improvements will be determined at the time of
development review.
M
Impacts on City Services
The development in question would add public water, sewer and street improvements to the city as well as add to
the sidewalk connectivity to the city’s network. The project would also require trash service, fire department
services, and police services. A local engineering firm, Bates and Associates, states that the city cannot provide a
letter guaranteeing any project service until that project has been approved, but it is their opinion that the public
sewer and water infrastructure has more than enough capacity to feed this proposed PZD. This is primarily because
of the major upgrades in the sewer and water system in the area within the last decade, this area not being dense,
and being close to town. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that there are no indi cators of capacity issues. Existing
utility connections are shown below.

Planned Zoning District Intent Fulfillment
Flexibility While this project’s design and philosophy is wholly in line with the City of Fayetteville’s City Plan
2040 goals, the project requires the flexibility of a Planned Zoning District to achieve two
elements: townhouses in sets of more than 4 contiguous units and alley-loaded units facing a
park rather than a street right of way. In all other ways, the project could be developed under
typical existing form-based zones. The flexibility of a PZD provides the project with the
opportunity to provide more traditional townhouse blocks of 5 and 6 contiguous units and
platted fee simple lots facing green space. This arrangement allows for density more in line with
the city’s goals, demographic and housing cost needs of citizens, and provides the opportunity
for additional common natural space. Units with front porches that face directly onto a park
allow young children to safely play together in park space right outside the front door, without
the danger of crossing the street, and within the safe view of parents sitti ng on front porches and
stoops. The public “right of way” as park maintains all the pedestrian connectivity and social
connection of a neighborhood street, but replaces the large space typically dedicated to cars in
the right of way to playing children and low impact development stormwater storage.
Compatibility The surrounding properties are a mix of single family residential to the north, commercial uses
along the arterial Mount Comfort corridor, and institutional uses to the west with Holt Middle
School and Mount Comfort Presbyterian Church. The proposed neighborhood lines the single-
family adjacencies with traditional residential lots. Smaller home lots face the institutional uses
to the west, while townhouses abut the more dense multifamily units intended along Mount
Comfort as a concurrent part of this development but separate from this PZD. The mixed unit
type neighborhood provides a natural variety of housing product and price points with a
walkable community structure.
Harmony The PZD allows for an orderly and creative provision of housing in a walkable format with
densities appropriate to supporting infrastructure in the neighborhood.
Variety The proposed neighborhood provides a variety of unit types, uses, and price points for residents
not typically found in an exclusionary single family neighborhood. The denser multifamily cluster
in the SE corner along Mt Comfort accompanies townhouses, cottages, and larger typical lots
along the single-family residential neighborhoods to the north. The inclusion of multi -family
housing by right in this PZD is purely a result of desiring to provide more traditional runs of
townhouses of 5-6 contiguous buildings.
No Negative The development provides no negative effect upon the future development of the area,
Impacts providing a complete, compact, and connected street network and a flexible, traditional block
structure that allows future flexibility and redevelopment within the neighborhood.
Coordination The land surrounding the property is largely already developed, but connection and rational edge
to the development have been provided to the undeveloped parcel to the east to allow the
future urbanization of that parcel to occur in a coordinated and coherent manner.
Open Space One of the primary benefits of the PZD approach for the development of this site is allowing the
provision of more usable and suitably located open space for recreation than would otherwise be
possible under typical zoning regulations.
Natural Features The property’s long term use for intensive agriculture has left little existing tree canopy except at
the edges of the property. The site plan’s geometry aligns to tree preservation plans to respect
these existing fence line trees and the site’s natural topography.

Future Land The PZD’s innovative use definitions to respect mass of the buildings and impact of use, rather
Use Plan than household structure and number of kitchens in a building allows for a comprehensive plan
and design for a mixed use yet harmonious development consistent with the guiding policies of
the Future Land Use map.
Special Features The site’s geometry is challenging, with a diagonal eastern edge remaining from a historic train
line easement. The geometry and dimensions of the site makes efficient, rear loaded units a
challenge. The PZD’s innovative approach to frontages allows for a reasonable density and unit
mix that would be challenging under typical zoning regulations.
Recognized The proposed zoning approach is novel and allows a degree of flexibility use designed to reduce
Zoning car trips and increase the walkability and resilience of the neighborhood. It does allow
Consideration several things not currently typical to the city’s zoning regulations, as is appropriate and
intentional to the concept of PZD’s within the city.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-1875
MEETING OF APRIL 16, 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: PZD-2024-0001: Planned Zoning District (3568 W. MOUNT COMFORT ROAD/HOLT
VILLAGE, 323): Submitted by FLINTLOCK LTD CO. for property located at 3568 W.
MOUNT COMFORT RD. in WARD 4. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL
AGRICULTURAL and CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES and contains approx. 16.72 acres.
The request is to rezone the property to a PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT.
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 northwest Fayetteville, northeast of the intersection of N. Rupple Road and W. Mount
Comfort Road and east of Holt Middle School. The site is largely undeveloped, but for one single-family home
with associated outbuildings that were built in the late 1970s. In total, the property makes up approximately
18.4 acres, and is currently zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural and CS, Community Services. The applicant is
only pursuing a rezoning on 16.72 acres of the property. An access management variance was approved by
the Planning Commission on March 11, 2024 for a reduced driveway separation distance along N. Rupple
Road. No overlay districts currently govern the site.
The applicant requests to rezone the property to a Residential Planned Zoning District with two Planning
Areas, as described below:
• Planning Area #1 – Approx. 9.9 acres: Labeled as Neighborhood Zone A, the intention of this planning area
is to provide primarily single- and two-family homes, with minimum lot widths of 25 feet and an intention for
homes to be oriented along common greenspace to provide frontage to some of these single-family homes,
rather than typical public streets. Building heights are limited to a maximum of three stories.
• Planning Area #2 – Approx. 6.9 acres: Labeled as Neighborhood Zone B, this planning area is intended for
higher intensity uses than single- and two-family structures, and allows for single-, two-, three- and four-family
dwellings by right, as well as multi-family dwellings. There is no stated density maximum, and minimum lot
widths are set at 24 feet for single-family dwellings, and no lot width minimum for all other uses. Building
heights are limited to a maximum of three stories.
Public Comment: To date, staff have received inquiries about the proposal, and one member of the public
spoke at the Planning Commission meeting on March 25, 2024.
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the applicant’s request to be compatible with existing surrounding land
uses. The property is surrounded by single-family to the north, a public school to the west, commercial
development to the south and southeast, and another incoming school facility to the east. The proposed
Neighborhood Zones demonstrate a sensitivity to the existing development pattern by lining the northern side
of the property with single-family residential and transitioning inward to more dense and compact development.
The dense and compact development is also offset by the insertion of greenspace and shared common open
space. Staff finds that the lack of a density limitation means that more units and lots than are shown on the
illustrative plans could be built, but that with other requirements such as public right-of-way dedication, parking,
and drainage requirements, the density is likely to be limited to a manner that is compatible with surrounding
uses. The limitation of building height to three stories also offers a good transition zone between the five story
allowance of the CS zoning to the south and east and the three story allowance in areas of residential zoning
to the north.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is consistent with the City’s land use and zoning plans.
Staff finds that the proposal meets City Plan 2040 goal by making appropriate infill a priority; the infill score for
the site is within the medium range, so inserting single-, two-family, and even some low intensity multi-family
here is complimentary with elements that make infill appropriate. Further, N. Rupple Road and W. Mount
Comfort Road is identified as a Tier 2 Center within City Plan 2040's Growth Concept Map. Tier 2 Centers are
characterized by housing that ranges from one- to three- story detached dwellings, duplexes, row houses, and
mid-rise apartments. The proposed PZD shows a sensitivity to the long-range land use plans for the area, and
with the current land use surroundings that garners a recommendation of approval from staff.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a ranging infill score for the subject
property of 5-7. The elements vary by the area of the property being considered, and include the following:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 8, 2266 W. Deane Street)
• Near Sewer Main (8-inch, N. Rupple Road, W. Lonoke Street and N. Caney Drive)
• Near Water Main (8-inch, N. Rupple Road, W. Lonoke Street, and N. Caney Drive)
• Near Public School (Holt Middle School)
• Near City Park (Clabber Creek, Bryce Davis Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Clabber Creek)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood Area)
DISCUSSION:
At the March 25, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 6-0-1 forwarded the request to City Council
with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Gulley made the motion which was seconded by Payne;
Commissioner McGetrick recused. Commissioners had little comment, but asked questions about drainage,
traffic, and development standards, and staff clarified that those standards would be evaluated at the time of
development. One member of the public spoke at the meeting who expressed support for additional housing in
the area, especially housing that met the City Plan 2040 goals, but issued specific concerns about the amount
of density this would contribute, adjacent neighborhood 1-story building heights and their relationship to the
proposed 3-story building heights, concern about the proposed lot sizes and their compatibility with the
adjacent neighborhood to the north, requested screening between the proposed development and the adjacent
development, and commented that a traffic impact analysis would be appropriate for the Commission to
consider.

of 25 feet and an intention for homes to be oriented along common greenspace to provide
frontage to some of these single-family homes, rather than typical public streets. Building
heights are limited to a maximum of three stories.
• Planning Area #2 – 6.9 acres: Labeled as Neighborhood Zone B, this planning area is
intended for higher intensity uses than single- and two-family structures, and allows for
single-, two-, three- and four-family dwellings by right, as well as multi-family dwellings.
There is no stated density maximum, and minimum lot widths are set at 24 feet for single-
family dwellings, and no lot width minimum for all other uses. Building heights are limited
to a maximum of three stories.
Public Comment: Staff have not received any public comment on this request.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The request area has frontage along N. Rupple Road, W. Lonoke Street, and N.
Caney Drive. N. Rupple Road is a partially improved regional link street with
asphalt paving, having one lane in each direction with a two-way left turn lane, curb
and gutter, drainage infrastructure, greenspace, and concrete paved trail along the
west side of the street. W. Lonoke Street and N. Caney Drive are fully improved
residential link streets with asphalt paving, curb and gutter, greenspace, and
sidewalks on both sides. The portion of the overall subject property that is not part
of this request has frontage to W. Mount Comfort Road. W. Mount Comfort Road
is an improved regional high activity link street with asphalt paving, having two
drive lanes in each direction, curb and gutter, drainage infrastructure, greenspace,
and sidewalk on both sides of the street along this property’s frontage. Any street
improvements or required drainage improvements in these areas would be
determined at the time of development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. There is an existing 8-inch water main
present along the west side of North Rupple Road with an 8-inch water main
crossing extending to the southwest corner of the subject property. There are
existing 8-inch water mains present in W. Lonoke Street and N. Caney Drive that
future development may connect to with new water main extensions. The portion
of the property that is not part of this request also has access to an existing 12-
inch water main on the south side of W. Mount Comfort Road.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject area. There is an existing 8-inch sanitary
sewer main on the west side of N. Rupple Road at the northwest corner of the
subject area. There are existing 8-inch sanitary sewer mains present in utility
easements along W. Lonoke Street and N. Caney Drive that future development
may connect to with new sewer main extensions. The portion of the property that
is not part of this request also has access to an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main
on the north side of W. Mount Comfort Road. A downstream sewer capacity
analysis in accordance with the current edition of the City’s Standard Specifications
for Design and Construction of Water Lines and Sewer Lines must be included
with the development entitlement submittal to determine if there is adequate
capacity within the existing sewer system. The developer shall perform any
downstream sewer upgrades to accommodate any additional capacity
necessitated by the development.
Planning Commission
March 25, 2024
PZD-2024-0001 (HOLT VILLAGE)
Page 2 of 46
Drainage: No portion of the subject area lies within a FEMA floodplain, there is no protected
stream present, and the property is outside of the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District.
No hydric soils are present in the area. Any additional improvements or
requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development.
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 8, located at 2266 W Deane St., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 1.5 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 3 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 5.2 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 did not comment on this request.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed PZD, Residential Planned Zoning District, requires 25% minimum
canopy preservation. The current zoning district R-A, Residential-Agricultural
requires 25% minimum canopy preservation; CS, Community Services 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 City Neighborhood.
City Neighborhood Areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and
provide a mix of non-residential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest
spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single-family to multi-family.
Non-residential and commercial uses are primarily located at street intersections and along major
corridors. Ideally, commercial uses would have a residential component and vary in size, variety
and intensity. The street network should have a high number of intersections creating a system
of small blocks with a high level of connectivity between neighborhoods. Building setbacks and
landscaping are urban in form with street trees typically being located within the sidewalk zone.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a ranging infill score for
the subject property of 5-7, which translates to a weighted score of 7.5. The elements vary by the
area of the property being considered, and include the following:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 8, 2266 W. Deane Street)
• Near Sewer Main (8-inch, N. Rupple Road, W. Lonoke Street and N. Caney Drive)
• Near Water Main (8-inch, N. Rupple Road, W. Lonoke Street, and N. Caney Drive)
• Near Public School (Holt Middle School)
• Near City Park (Clabber Creek, Bryce Davis Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Clabber Creek)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood Area)

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 applicant’s request to be compatible
with existing surrounding land uses. The property is surrounded by single-
family to the north, a public school to the west, commercial development to
the south and southeast, and another incoming school facility to the east.
Staff finds the insertion of varying types of residential uses to be compatible
with the surrounding area; the proposed Neighborhood Zones demonstrate
a sensitivity to the existing development pattern by lining the northern side
of the property with single-family residential and transitioning inward to
more dense and compact development. The dense and compact
development is also offset by the insertion of greenspace and shared
common open space. Staff finds that the lack of a density limitation means
that more units and lots than are shown on the illustrative plans could be
built, but still finds that with other requirements such as public right-of-way
dedication, parking, and drainage requirements, that the density is still likely
to be limited in a manner that is compatible with surrounding uses. The
limitation of building height to 3 stories also offers a good transition zone
between the CS zoning to the south and east and the residential zoning to
the north.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is consistent with the
City’s land use and zoning plans. Staff finds that the proposal meets City
Plan 2040 goal by making appropriate infill a high priority; the infill score for
the site is within the medium range, so inserting single-, two-family, and even
some low intensity multi-family here is compatible with the infill score for the
site. Further, N. Rupple Road and W. Mount Comfort Road is identified as a
Tier 2 Center, which are characterized by housing that ranges from one- to
three- story detached dwellings, duplexes, row houses, and mid-rise
apartments. The proposed PZD shows a sensitivity to the long-range land
use plans for the area, and with the current land use surroundings that
garners a recommendation of approval from staff.
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 proposed rezoning is justified. Maintaining the R-A zoning
at this site is not compatible with current land use surroundings, or with
long-term City goals.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed PZD is not likely to have a significant impact on traffic danger
or congestion in the area. The proposal intends to meet overall connectivity
and access management requirements, and staff finds that the opportunities
for connectivity allow for the general disbursement of traffic, rather than
traffic funneling into one specific location.
Planning Commission
March 25, 2024
PZD-2024-0001 (HOLT VILLAGE)
Page 4 of 46
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 PZD would alter population density in the area as opposed to
keeping the property zoned R-A, but staff does not find that this would be to
an undesirable level. New sewer and water lines would be required to be
extended to the proposed development, at a cost that would be borne by the
developer. Additionally, a sewer capacity analysis may need to occur during
an associated development plan. Fayetteville Public Schools did not
comment on the request, though it is worth noting again that this site is
directly across the street from Holt Middle School. The applicant has
indicated (and a condition was approved by the Planning Commission
requiring it) an enhanced pedestrian crossing from this development to the
school across the street.
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
Sec. 161.35. Planned Zoning Districts (PZD)
(B) Purpose. The intent of the Planned Zoning District is to permit and encourage
comprehensively planned zoning and developments whose purpose is redevelopment,
economic development, cultural enrichment or to provide a single-purpose or mixed-use
planned development and to permit the concurrent processing of zoning and development.
The City Council may consider any of the following factors in review of a Planned Zoning
District application.
(1) Flexibility. Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of
development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts.
(2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
(3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are
harmonious and beneficial to the community.
(4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial
or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of
economic and redevelopment opportunities.
(5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the
area;
(6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and
cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and
in the renewal of existing deteriorating areas.
Planning Commission
March 25, 2024
PZD-2024-0001 (HOLT VILLAGE)
Page 5 of 46
(7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas
and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land
development regulations.
(8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural
features and amenities.
(9) Future Land Use Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use
yet harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the Future Land Use
Plan.
(10)Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of
geographic location, topography, size or shape.
(11)Recognized zoning consideration. Whether any other recognized zoning consideration
would be violated in this PZD.
Findings: As outlined in previous findings, staff finds that the proposal is generally in
line with the factors that may be considered with a Planned Zoning District.
The proposed PZD is particularly well suited to meet the flexibility, harmony,
no negative impact, and natural feature tenets of the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding PZD-2024-0001 to City Council, with a
recommendation of approval, with conditions as outlined below.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Parkland dedication/proposed fees-in-lieu must be reviewed by Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board with the associated development;
2. Any proposed lots without street frontage shall provide adequate access for water, sewer,
and emergency services; and
3. Proposed fire apparatus access roads shall meet requirements as stated by all applicable
fire codes.

Urban Forestry Memo
TO: Technical Plat Review
THRU: Jessie Masters, Development Review Manager
FROM: Melissa Evans, Urban Forester
MEETING DATE: February 28, 2024
SUBJECT: PZD-2024-0001: Holt Village: Submitted by FLINTLOCK LTD CO. for
property located at 3568 W. MOUNT COMFORT ROAD. The property is
split zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL and contains
approximately 18.4 acres. The request is for the property to be zoned PZD,
PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT.
RECOMMENDATION:
Urban Forestry Staff recommends the approval of PZD-2024-0001 since the PZD booklet
essentially states that Chapter 167 Tree Preservation and Protection and Chapter 177 Landscape
Regulations requirements will be met. The required minimum existing tree canopy coverage is
25% for PZDs.
Though there are not many trees on the site with the exception of the perimeters, it is highly
recommended that as many trees be preserved as possible to meet the requirement, and that
buildings, parking, utilities, and other infrastructure elements be designed around the trees.
According to the PZD booklet, this is the approach the developer and designer will take.
Chapter 177 Landscape Regulations must be met also, including street trees along public or
private streets. The PZD booklet says that the project will comply with the landscape standards
of the City of Fayetteville.

Dear Commissioners and Staff,
Flintlock LTD Co on behalf of Landmarc Custom Homes respectfully submits this Planned Zoning District (PZD)
application for your consideration. The proposed +/- 125 residential unit development aims to provide a mix of
housing types in a walkable neighborhood format that prioritizes common green space. This proposed development
ideally serves the surrounding neighborhood and City goals by sensitively transitioning density from the north to the
south through a mixture of unit types offering abundant green space, walkability, and community potential.
The proposed development is wholly in line with the City Plan 2040’s primary goals of compact, complete, and
connected growth which is intentional, sustainable, and mixed use. Transit ready and commercial supportive densities
are provided, and housing is centered on low impact development stormwater features.
We believe, and hope you agree, that this development will contribute to the community of Fayetteville and its
aspirations for the future.
Respectfully,
FLINTLOCK LTD CO

Good morning, and thanks for your patience.
In looking into it, I believe Exhibit C was supposed to be the PZD booklet itself. Blake had asked me for it when we

Good morning!
I am touching base regarding Ordinance 6742 and the number of exhibits associated with the Ordinance.We have
not had it fully executed by Administration due to the confusion; if we could get more clarifying information it
would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Good afternoon everyone!
I apologize for jumping into the conversation, but I believe the question is regarding Ordinance 6742 passed at last
night's City Council meeting(not yet in Laserfiche).
I've included a draft of the full item and attachments to this message for reference.Agenda Item C.4. Planned
Zoning District-2024-0001: (3568 W. Mount Comfort Road/Hold Village, 323).
Our office is working on producing the pages Mayor needs to sign, and we noticed Section 1 of the Ordinance
reads "approves PZD-2024-01 as described in Exhibits 'A', '8', and`C'attached to the Planning Division's Agenda
Memo",yet we can only locate Exhibits A and B,and the item Memo only mentions Exhibits A and B.
We'd like to receive confirmation that there are three exhibits and clarification on which page(s)we can locate
Exhibit C.
We would greatly appreciate any help you can offer to clear our confusion!

Good afternoon,
Can you clarify if you mean ordinance 6714 or 6742? I don't see anything in 6714 that appears to be missing.
Thank you,
