CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-368
SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0034: Rezoning (1731, 1815, & 1837 W. 18TH STJARNOLD, 598): Submitted
by CRAFTON TULL for property located at 1731, 1815, & 1837 W. 18TH ST. in WARD 1.
The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR UNITS PER
ACRE and contains approximately 9.10 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 just southwest of the intersection of 18th Street and Beechwood Avenue in southwest
Fayetteville. The property contains three parcels totaling 9.10 acres which are currently zoned RSF-4,
Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre, and developed with single-family residences. 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. An unnamed tributary of the Town Branch, part of the Beaver Reservoir, bisects the far northwest corner
of the property. The tributary is protected per the streamside protection ordinance, and its associated
protection zone encumbers a portion of the site.
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 on the 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 surrounded by single-family dwellings to the south and multi -family dwellings to the north. 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

Fayetteville, AR 72701
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. A small portion of the north and west
sides of the property are encumbered by a protected stream and floodplain, and hydric soils are present on
site. Any impacts to those areas would be fully evaluated at the time of development review. Staff finds that the
proposed rezoning is not likely to adversely affect those areas given its relatively limited density allowance and
the City's development regulations.
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.
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 (12-inch main, 18th Street)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, 18th Street)
• 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 Werner stated that he would support the applicant's
request since it would allow for a greater variety of housing types. Commissioner Payne empathized with the
members of the public who spoke at the meeting, but said that he would support the requested rezoning since
it aligns with the City's planning objectives. Three members of the public spoke at the meeting. Two expressed
their opposition to the proposed rezoning and said that RI-12 would allow too much density and adversely
affect the character of the neighborhood. The other member of the public expressed their support for the
proposed rezoning, finding RI-12 to be more favorable than the applicant's original request to rezone the
property to RMF-24.

SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0034: Rezoning (1731, 1815, & 1837 W. 18T" STJARNOLD,
598): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL for property located at 1731, 1815, &

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"1 move to forward RZN-2024-0034 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval."
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is just southwest of the intersection of 18' Street and Beechwood Avenue
in southwest Fayetteville. The property contains three parcels totaling 9.10 acres which are
currently zoned RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre, and developed with
single-family residences. The property received its current zoning designation as a result of a

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: To date, staff has not received any public comment on the request.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Streets: The subject property has frontage along 181" Street. 18" Street 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 12-inch water main is
present on the south side of 18t" Street.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject property. An existing six-inch sewer main
is present on the south side of 18t" Street.
Drainage: Any improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at the time of
development submittal. No portion of the subject property lies within the
Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District though a FEMA-designated floodplain, protected
stream, and hydric soils are present on site. Since a FEMA-designated floodplain
is present, 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 consist 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 is 50 feet wide as measured from the top of bank but depending on
the shape and extents of the floodway, it could be substantially wider. 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 are 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.
Fire: Station 6, located at 900 S. Hollywood Ave., protects this site. The property is
located approximately 1.1 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time
of approximately three minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response
Planning Commission
July 8, 2024
RZN-2024-0034 (ARNOLD)
Paqe 2 of 14
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
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 (12-inch main, 18th Street)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, 18th Street)
• 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.
Planning Commission

Finding: Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible
with the surrounding area. The property is surrounded by single-family
dwellings to the south and multi -family dwellings to the north. 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. A small portion of the north and west
sides of the property are encumbered by a protected stream and floodplain,
and hydric soils are present on site. Any impacts to those areas would be
fully evaluated at the time of development review. Staff finds that the
proposed rezoning is not likely to adversely affect those areas given its
relatively limited density allowance and the City's development regulations.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the applicant's request to be consistent
with the City's adopted land use plans. City Plan 2O4O'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.
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-2024-0034 to the City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

161.11 District RI-12, Residential Intermediate, Twelve (12) Units Per Acre
(A) Purpose. The RI-12 Residential District is designed to permit and encourage the development of detached and
attached dwellings in suitable environments, to provide a development potential between low density and

This letter is intended to accompany a rezone request for Parcel Nos. 765-04064-000, 765-04065-000, and
765-04066-000, located at 1731 W. 181h St., 1815 W. 18`h St., and 1837 W. 181h St. in South Fayetteville ("the
Property").
The Property 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 of the site is RI-U and, to the East, is RMF-24.
Additionally, there is UT, C-1 and C-2 just Northwest of the site, as well as RMF-24 north of the site. RSF-4
is located to the South of the site. 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.

Subject: RZN-2024-0033 & 0034 Public Comment
Jessie,
I had a lengthy conversation with one of the neighbors adjacent to RZN-2024-0033 & 0034. 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
