CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-211
MEETING OF JULY 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-2024-0024: Rezoning (3145 E. JOYCE BLVD/FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
177): Submitted by JORGENSEN & ASSOCIATES for property located at 3145 E.
JOYCE BLVD. in WARD 3. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL -
AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 27.77 acres. The request is to rezone
the property 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 property is located northeast of E. Joyce Boulevard’s intersection with N. Crossover Road. The
property contains one parcel totaling 27.77 acres which is currently zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural and is
developed with a single-family home and associated agricultural outbuildings that were constructed in the late
1970s. The property was purchased in 2024 by Fayetteville Public Schools.
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from R-A, Residential-Agricultural to P-1, Institutional.
The applicant has indicated that they are requesting the rezoning to construct a new public school. Of note, the
Fayetteville Public Schools district exceeds the municipal boundaries of Fayetteville, extending from the
Washington/Madison County line in the east to areas of Farmington, Fayetteville, and unincorporated
Washington County to the west.
Public Comment: To date, no public comment has been received on this request.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with the surrounding area and
current land uses. R-A zoning allows for agricultural uses and a rezoning to P-1 would allow for institutional
uses such as schools, parks, and government facilities. The property is on the border of the City limits and is
adjacent to Washington County. Given the property’s proximity to commercial and residential uses to the west,
staff finds that rezoning to P-1 provides for good compatibility and transition to the more rural residential nature
of the area to the east. The lot widths, areas, and building height requirements in P-1 are compatible as well;
while R-A requires 200-foot lot widths and minimum acreages of 2 per dwelling unit, P-1 is a strictly institutional
zoning district, which, after new regulations were approved by City Council earlier in 2024, now also allows for
a form-based option. There is no maximum building height in the R-A district, and P-1 allows for a maximum
building height of 6 stories. Staff finds that given the acreage of the site, it is unlikely, though, that a 6-story
facility would be built on the property. Staff also recognizes that the site has a significant amount of floodplain
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
and a protected stream that will limit the developability of the site, and is likely to shift the development away
from the Mud Creek natural area.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the goals in City Plan 2040
and the property’s future land use designation as Residential Neighborhood area. A rezoning from R-A to P-1
contributes to City Plan 2040 goal #3, in that it helps promote a compact, complete, and connected
development throughout the area by affording the ability to develop additional amenities and services to this
area, particularly in comparison with the existing R-A zoning designation. This site is walkable to the
intersection of N. Crossover Road and E. Joyce Boulevard, an area that is called out in the Future Land Use
Map as a City Neighborhood, and identified as a Tier 2 Center in City Plan 2040. While not a site identified as
encouraging a high amount of infill, the property is close to an ORT transit stop, which contributes to the score.
Further, there is a planned Master Street Plan connection, classified as a Neighborhood Link Street, that runs
the length of the property from east to west. Development of this planned connection would be evaluated and
is likely to occur with the redevelopment of this property.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 3-4 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 5, 2979 N. Crossover Road)
• Near Water Main (E. Joyce Blvd. and south property line)
• Near Paved Trail (Sidepath Trail on Joyce Blvd.)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (Millennium and Joyce)
DISCUSSION:
At the June 10, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners unanimously voted to forward the item
with a recommendation of approval; Commissioner McGetrick made the motion and Commissioner Garlock
seconded it. Little comment was offered; Commissioners commented on the lack of sewer capacity, but
understood that typically utility extensions are a cost that is borne by the developer. Commissioners also
commented that it was an appropriate location for a school given the future land use plans for the area. No
public comment was offered at the meeting.

improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of
development proposal. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage
will be determined at time of development.
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. An existing 2-inch water main is
present on the southwest side of the property along E. Joyce Boulevard. An
existing 8-inch water main is present on the west side of the property along E.
Joyce Boulevard. An existing 42-inch transmission water main is present along the
south property line, and an existing 36-inch transmission water main is present on
the south property line.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is not available to the subject area.
Drainage: A portion of the property lies within a FEMA Floodplain, there is a protected stream,
and hydric soils are present in the area. A floodplain development review will be
required at the time of permit or plan submittal. This will restrict the type of
development and impact in flood zones; and may require additional documentation
such as flood studies or elevation certificates depending on the type of
development. If a development impacts a floodplain, those impacts may require
review and approval from FEMA. Streamside Protection Zones generally consists
of a protected area on each side of a stream or creek. This “protected area” is
meant to preserve woody vegetation and natural areas along stream corridors to
improve/protect stream health. At a minimum, it will be 50ft wide as measured from
the top of bank but depending on the shape and extents of the floodway, it could
be substantially more. Certain construction activities such as trails and some
utilities are allowed in these zones, but in general, improvements such as parking
lots or buildings are prohibited. Hydric soils are a known indicator of wetlands.
However, for an area to be classified as wetlands, it may also need other
characteristics such as hydrophytes (plants that grow in water), and shallow water
during parts of the year. Hydric soils can be found across many areas of
Fayetteville, including valleys, floodplains, and open prairies. It’s important to
identify these natural resources during development, so when these soils are
identified on a property, further environmental studies will be required at the time
of development. Before permits will be issued for the property a statement/report
from an environmental professional must be provided summarizing the existence
of wetlands on the property. If this statement/report indicates that wetlands may
be present on site, a USACE Determination of Jurisdictional Wetlands will be
required at the time of development submittal. No portion of the property lies within
the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District.
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 5, located at 2979 N. Crossover Rd., protects this site. The property is
located approximately 1.3 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 zoning district, P-1, Institutional, requires 25% minimum canopy
preservation. The current zoning district, 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 Residential Neighborhood and Natural
Area.
Residential Neighborhood areas are primarily residential in nature and support a wide variety
of housing types of appropriate scale and context. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly
connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks. It also
encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low-intensity non-residential
uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods. This designation recognizes the existing
conventional subdivision developments that may have large blocks with conventional setbacks
and development patterns that respond to features of the natural environment.
Natural Areas consist of lands approximating or reverting to wilderness conditions, including
those with limited development potential due to topography, hydrology, vegetation or value as an
environmental resource. These resources can include stream and wildlife corridors, as well as
natural hubs and cores, many of which are identified in the generalized enduring green network.
A Natural Area designation would encourage a development pattern that requires conservation
and preservation, prevents degradation of these areas, and would utilize the principles of low
impact development stormwater infrastructure for all developments. Natural Areas are prime
candidates for conservation subdivision design and/or clustered development patterns.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 3-4 for this
site with a weighted score of 9. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 5, 2979 N. Crossover Road)
• Near Water Main (E. Joyce Blvd. and south property line)
• Near Paved Trail (Sidepath Trail on Joyce Blvd.)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (Millenium and Joyce)
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 requested rezoning to be compatible
with the surrounding area and current land uses. R-A zoning allows for
agricultural uses and a rezoning to P-1 would allow for institutional uses
such as schools, parks, and government facilities. The property is on the
border of the City limits and is adjacent to Washington County. Given the
property’s proximity to commercial and residential uses to the west, staff
finds that rezoning to P-1 provides for good compatibility and transition to
the more rural residential nature of the area to the east. The lot widths, areas,
and building height requirements in P-1 are compatible as well; while R-A
requires 200-foot lot widths and minimum acreages of 2 per dwelling unit, P-
1 is a strictly institutional zoning district, which, after new regulations were
approved by City Council earlier in 2024, now also allows for a form-based
Planning Commission

RZN-2024-0024 (FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS)
Page 3 of 13
option. There is no maximum building height in the R-A district, and P-1
allows for a maximum building height of 6 stories. Staff finds that given the
acreage of the site, it is unlikely, though, that a 6-story facility would be built
on the property. Staff also recognizes that the site has a significant amount
of floodplain and a protected stream that will limit the developability of the
site, and is likely to shift the development away from the Mud Creek natural
area.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent
with the goals in City Plan 2040 and the property’s future land use
designation as Residential Neighborhood area. A rezoning from R-A to P-1
contributes to City Plan 2040 goal #3, in that it helps promote a compact,
complete, and connected development throughout the area by affording the
ability to develop additional amenities and services to this area, rather than
the existing R-A zoning designation. This site is walkable to the intersection
of N. Crossover Road and E. Joyce Boulevard, an area that is called out in
the Future Land Use Map as a City Neighborhood, and identified as a Tier 2
Center in City Plan 2040. While not a site identified as encouraging a high
amount of infill, the proximity to an ORT transit stop weights the infill score
much higher at a 9. Further, there is a planned Master Street Plan connection,
classified as a Neighborhood Link Street, that runs the length of the property
from east to west. Development of this planned connection would be
evaluated and is likely to occur with the redevelopment of this property.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds there is sufficient justification to rezone the property from R-A to
P-1. This request will allow for the development of institutional uses in the
area, bring a necessary institution to serve Fayetteville’s residents, and the
request is consistent with the Future Land Use plans for the area. Schools
and other cultural and recreational facilities are a vital service and while not
strictly residential, are a necessary neighborhood amenity.
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 P-1 has the potential to increase traffic to this
location, though staff does not find that this would be to a dangerous degree.
The intersection of Joyce and Crossover has been identified by Public Works
as an intersection that requires improvement, and coordination with any new
facility that is to be constructed at this site would be needed to determine
the necessity for off-site improvements to be borne by the developer. Staff
finds that any new development on the site would be subject to the typical
development review process and infrastructure evaluation that would be
roughly proportional to the proposal; the property has a proposed Master
Street Plan connection that runs through the site, which would likely be
developed with the development of the overall site.
Planning Commission

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 P-1 zoning district does not permit by-right residential uses and is
therefore unlikely to increase the population density in this area. The overall
property has access to existing water, but not sanitary sewer. Lack of
sanitary sewer access remains a common condition for properties on both
in this area, with development in the area gradually extending public mains.
Any development on this site will be responsible for increasing sewer
capacity as needed. As for the project’s impact on school capacity, the
proposal is a response to increasing attendance in the Fayetteville Public
School District and the growing load on school facilities that mirrors
development in the area.
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-2024-0024 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

Re: FPS-NJH (Joyce Street) Rezoning
Please accept this request to rezone parcel 765-13237-006. This tract of land has a current zoning of R-A
and our request is to to rezone all of this land to P-1. This requested zoning is appropriate and compatible with
the surrounding properties and uses. To the immediate south, the zoning is R-A, towards the west there is a
variety of zonings (C-2, C-1, NS-G, and RI-12), towards the north is R-A, and a small portion of RSF-4. With the
Fayetteville Public School purchasing this particular property, the sustained growth in the area supports the
need for the School to be built. By rezoning this property, the School will be able to develop by-right in a fashion
appropriate for its end use.
Please review this application and let us know if there are any questions that we may be able to answer.
Thanks.
