ASHWOOD AVEJARNOLD, 598 599): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL for property located at 1919 S. ASHWOOD AVE. in WARD 1. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 2.40 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI- 12, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE, 12 UNITS PER ACRE. 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 southwest Fayetteville on the west side of Ashwood Avenue about 700 feet north of the street's intersection with Razorback Road. The property contains one parcel totaling 2.40 acres which is currently zoned RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre, and developed with a single-family dwelling that Washington County records indicate was built in 1951. The property received its current zoning designation as a result of a neighborhood -initiated rezoning in 2006 which downzoned the property from RMF- 24, Residential Multi -Family, 24 Units per Acre. The subject property is within the boundaries of the Fayette Junction Master Plan which was adopted in 2009 as part of City Plan 2025. Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre to RI-12, Residential Intermediate, 12 Units per Acre. Public Comment: Prior to the Planning Commission, staff did not receive any public comment regarding this request. Comment received at the Planning Commission meeting is summarized below. Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with the surrounding area. The property is directly surrounded by single-family residences and there are duplexes, multi -family dwellings, and nonresidential uses nearby. The proposed rezoning would allow for the by -right development of single-family to four -family dwellings at a density of 12 units per acre. Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-12 could complement the zoning pattern in the area which contains a variety of residential and mixed use districts such as RSF-4, RMF- 24, NS-L, and CS. Where RSF-4 would currently allow for the creation of lots with a minimum width of 70 feet and a minimum area of 8,000 square feet, a rezoning to RI-12 would allow lots with a minimum width of 50 feet and a minimum area of 5,000 square feet. With regard to setbacks, RSF-4 requires a 15-foot front and rear setback while RI-12 requires a 25-foot build -to zone and a five-foot or 20-foot rear setback. Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the applicant's request to be consistent with the City's adopted land use plans. City Plan 2040's Future Land Use Map designates the property as Residential Neighborhood Area and its Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 6-9. Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-12 would be aligned with those designations since Residential Neighborhood Areas are intended to encourage a wider variety of building types of appropriate scale and context, and since the property is in proximity to public services and infrastructure. A rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-12 could also support Goal 1 of City Plan 2040 by encouraging infill, and it could support the Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan by allowing for a gradual increase in residential density between the single-family neighborhood to the south and multi -family dwellings and nonresidential uses to the north. City Plan 2040 Infill Matrix: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 6-9 for this site. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, 900 S. Hollywood Ave.) • Near Water Main (6-inch main, Ashwood Avenue) • Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, Ashwood Avenue) • Near U of A Campus • Near City Park (Town Branch Trail Corridor) • Near Paved Trail (Town Branch Trail) • Near ORT Bus Stop (Baum Stadium Stop) • Near Razorback Bus Stop (Route 48) • Within Master Plan Area (Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan) DISCUSSION: At the July 8, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 7-0-1 forwarded this request to City Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Werner made the motion and Commissioner McGetrick seconded it. Commissioner Cabe recused. Commissioner McGetrick shared her support for the rezoning and said that RI-12 could serve as a good transition between multi -family dwellings to the north and single-family dwellings to the south. Commissioner Werner also stated that he was supportive of the proposed rezoning since it would allow for a greater variety of housing types, specifically three-family and four -family dwellings. One member of the public spoke at the meeting and stated their opposition to the applicant's request, finding RI-12 to be out of scale with the surrounding neighborhood, which she said is primarily developed with single - story, owner -occupied houses.

The request is to rezone the property to RI-12, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE, 12 UNITS PER ACRE. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2024-0033 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to forward RZN-2024-0033 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval." BACKGROUND: The subject property is in southwest Fayetteville on the west side of Ashwood Avenue about 700 feet north of the street's intersection with Razorback Road. The property contains one parcel totaling 2.40 acres which is currently zoned RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre, and developed with a single-family dwelling that Washington County records indicate was built in 1951.

Public Comment: To date, staff has not received any public comment regarding this request. Planning Commission July 8, 2024 RZN-2024-0033 (ARNOLD) Paqe 1 of 13 INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Streets: The subject property has frontage along Ashwood Avenue. Ashwood Avenue is a partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving and 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 six-inch water main is present on the east side of Ashwood Avenue. Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject property. An existing six-inch sewer main is present along the west side of Ashwood Avenue. Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District or a FEMA-designated floodplain and no protected streams or hydric soils are present. Any improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at the time of development submittal. Fire: Station 6, located at 900 S. Hollywood Ave., protects this site. The property is located approximately 1.3 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of approximately three 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 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, RMF-24, Residential Multi -Family, 24 Units per Acre, requires 20% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district, RSF- 4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre, requires 25% 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 Residential Neighborhood Area within the Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan 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. The Fayette Junction Master Plan is the City's second complete neighborhood plan, adopted in the Spring of 2009, as part of City Plan 2025. The plan aims to integrate the built and natural Planning Commission July 8, 2024 RZN-2024-0033 (ARNOLD) Paqe 2 of 13 environment to support a clean tech cluster, a multi -modal transit hub, and support the protection of, and expansion to, the neighborhoods within the Fayette Junction area. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 6-9 for this site with a weighted score of 10 at the highest level. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, 900 S. Hollywood Ave.) • Near Water Main (6-inch main, Ashwood Avenue) • Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, Ashwood Avenue) • Near U of A Campus • Near City Park (Town Branch Trail Corridor) • Near Paved Trail (Town Branch Trail) • Near ORT Bus Stop (Baum Stadium Stop) • Near Razorback Bus Stop (Route 48) • Within Master Plan Area (Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan) FINDINGS OF THE STAFF 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. The property is directly surrounded by single- family residences and there are duplexes, multi -family dwellings, and nonresidential uses nearby. The proposed rezoning would allow for the by - right development of single-family to four -family dwellings at a density of 12 units per acre. Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-12 could complement the zoning pattern in the area which contains a variety of residential and mixed use districts such as RSF-4, RMF-24, NS-L, and CS. Where RSF-4 would currently allow for the creation of lots with a minimum width of 70 feet and a minimum area of 8,000 square feet, a rezoning to RI-12 would allow lots with a minimum width of 50 feet and a minimum area of 5,000 square feet. With regard to setbacks, RSF-4 requires a 15-foot front and rear setback while Rk 12 requires a 25-foot build -to zone and a five-foot or 20-foot rear setback. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the applicant's request to be consistent with the City's adopted land use plans. City Plan 2040's Future Land Use Map designates the property as Residential Neighborhood Area and its Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 6-9. Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-12 would be aligned with those designations since Residential Neighborhood Areas are intended to encourage a wider variety of building types of appropriate scale and context, and since the property is in close proximity to public services and infrastructure. A rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-12 could also support Goal 1 of City Plan 2040 by encouraging infill, and it could support the Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan by allowing for a gradual increase in residential density between the single-family neighborhood to the south and multi -family dwellings and nonresidential uses to the north. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Planning Commission July 8, 2024 RZN-2024-0033 (ARNOLD) Paqe 3 of 13 Finding: Staff finds that there is sufficient justification for rezoning the property from RSF-4 to RI-12 since the proposed rezoning would be consistent with the property's future land use designation as Residential Neighborhood Area and be aligned with the goals of City Plan 2040 and the Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: A rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-12 has the potential to increase vehicular traffic in the area when considering that RI-12 would allow for more dense residential development. However, staff finds that the property's proximity to nonresidential uses, bus routes, and trails may help reduce the number of vehicle trips generated by future development and limit impacts on vehicular traffic congestion and danger. 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 property from RSF-4 to RI-12 has the potential to alter the population density since RI-12 would allow for increased residential development. Given the property's proximity to public streets, water, and sewer, staff finds that the proposed rezoning is not likely to undesirably increase the load on public services. 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-2024-0033 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval.

Ashwood Avenue and W. Sligo Street in South Fayetteville. The parcel is currently zoned RSF-4, Residential Single Family — 4 Units per Acre. The applicant is requesting that it be rezoned to RI-12, Residential Intermediate —Twelve (12) Units Per Acre. This request is in line with many of the surrounding zoning districts. To the West, East, Southeast, and North of the site, there properties which have already been rezoned to RMF-24, with other zoning districts nearby such as RI-U, C-1, C-2, UT, CS, RSF-8 and RSF-4. Further, a rezoning to RI-12 would act as a buffer between the single family housing to the South and the multiple student oriented multi -family properties to the North. This property is near both Interstate 49 (Freeway/Expressway) and Razorback Road (Regional Link) and in a prime location for a higher density development. This parcel is also part of the Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan adopted in Spring of 2009, which shows this area as higher density single-family residential. This rezoning would encourage infill and development of missing middle housing and would provide the opportunity to diversity housing stock in an area that is largely comprised of student -oriented multi -family and single family housing. Thank you for considering this request for rezoning. If you have any questions, please contact me at 479- 636-2168 or at wkellstrom(a-),watkinslawoffice.com.

The talking points are summarized below: • Concerned about proposed increase in density and effect on neighborhood • Very concerned about potential 3-story buildings adjacent to existing 1-story residences, explained that 3-story residences could be built by right now under the existing RSF-4 district. Wanted to know if it's possible for the city to reduce heights, and I informed her that the city cannot lower the height restrictions allowed by zoning but that the applicant could self -limit. • Does not want to see development in streamside zone • Very concerned that not enough affordable housing is being built in the city Best Regards, Donna Wonsower, AICP Planner, Development Services CS��tUIe of Cer6 a , A d E � Q AICP CERTIFIED 479-575-8358 Website I Facebook I Twitter I Instagram I YouTube CITY OF WiM FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS Received From: Jonathan Curth 08/01/2024 3:27 PM FW 17-1_ T011[rt Brallclt 1701 11683 16SS 16:I1 s, -- O , ,, 1841 1846 I W Sligo St J1919 - i5 0 0.01 0.03 1 ,0.05 mi The data contained herein w ,mpil,d from various sources for the sole us and benefit of the City of Fayetteville Geographic Information System and the public agencies It serves.
