He stated that overall, the city was up roughly 7% for the year as far as revenue was concerned. He briefly spoke of the pay plan that had come forward earlier last year and of how sales tax had needed to be up around 9.2% to cover that expense. He stated the sales tax had not been up 9.2% but when reviewing all the other revenues combined, the city would have that increase covered. He stated that when closing out the books for the 2023 General Fund, the city may show a small accounting loss for the year of 2023, primarily due to paying down some of the old expenditures that had carried into the 2023 year. He stated the Street Fund was up about 3%, Parking revenue was down 8%, the Water and Sewer Fund was down around 3%, solid waste fees were down 3% and Airport sales were down about 11%.

Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. Unfinished Business: Stearns Street Extension (Budget Adjustment): A resolution to approve a budget adjustment to create a project budget for an extension of Stearns Street between Vantage Drive and Old Missouri Road. At the January 18, 2024 City Council Meeting, this resolution was tabled to the February 6, 2024 City Council Meeting. Chris Brown, Public Works Director briefly spoke of the tour that had taken place on the property with several council members in attendance. He stated Jonathan Curth would summarize the questions that had been posed during the tour. Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director gave a brief description of the resolution and stated there were approximately over 30 acres of undeveloped property in close proximity to the proposed connection and two large developments in close proximity to the connection as well. He stated the City of Fayetteville's Master Street Plan envisioned a future connection further east, all the way to Crossover Road and that a right-of-way had been acquired that could contribute to the mentioned connection in the future. He stated the request was important because the portion of Fayetteville in question would continue to see housing growth. Chris Brown addressed concerns that had been expressed in regard to the possible increase of traffic to the Stearns Street and Vantage Drive intersection, the potential cost of the trail only option and in regard to the alignment of the street being shifted away from the existing homes. He presented an image that depicted what the proposed changes would look like. Council Member Berna recommended the item be tabled due to the presentation of new information regarding the changes Chris Brown had indicated. There was brief discussion between Council Member Turk and Jonathan Curth regarding the possible connection to Highway 265 Jonathan Curth had mentioned. Jonathan Curth gave a brief 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteviIle-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 7 of 23 explanation for how the City of Fayetteville acquired right-of-way and stated that there had been two lot splits between Highway 265 and Old Missouri Road that had required right-of-way. Chris Brown gave a brief explanation for how portions of streets could be connected by way of the development process or by the city constructing the street itself. He stated there were nearby undeveloped properties that could potentially see some portions of the street be constructed by developers, however the underdeveloped areas could potentially be city projects. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Stafford and Chris Brown regarding the potential for trees to be placed on certain areas of the site to provide a buffer from traffic for some homes. Chris Brown stated that was correct and explained how the shed on the property would be moved to the other side of the street nearest to the development and then mitigation trees would be added. The City Council received 4 public comments regarding this resolution. Council Member Stafford requested clarification for how the cost was budgeted for the potential connection. Chris Brown explained how the cost for the project was estimated based on bids from other projects and that if the city waited to do the connection, the cost could potentially increase. He explained that as the design was developed the cost would be narrowed down better. There was brief discussion between Council Member Stafford and Chris Brown regarding the possibility of removing a portion of a citizen's yard. Chris Brown stated that as staff worked through the design process and continued to look at concepts and impacts to properties those types of issues would be sorted out. Council Member Turk questioned that if the connection were made and it was then decided the streets were too narrow, would the city be liable for expanding said streets. Chris Brown answered no and explained how many streets in the City of Fayetteville did not currently meet the city's Master Street Plan standards, but that did not mean the streets couldn't function adequately. He recalled that Stearns Street was already wider than what the connection was proposed to be. Council Member Turk questioned that if the city had not received the $20,000 in funding for the connection from the nearby developments, where in the priority list would the connection have been. Chris Brown stated that since the street had been built as part of the development and just needed the last connector piece, it bumped the connection up in the city's list of priorities but would not have had urgency if it were not due to the funding available. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 8 of 23 Council Member Bunch spoke of concerns she had heard regarding unsafe connections on the intersection of Stearns Street and Joyce Boulevard. She questioned if there were any plans to address the safety concerns there in the future. Chris Brown stated Joyce Boulevard was a project that was in the city's Safe Streets for All Grant and that the safety concerns would be addressed as soon as the project agreement was signed, and a consultant was hired to review solutions. Council Member Berna explained his reasoning for wanting to table the item due to the residents in the area seeing new information at the meeting and believed it would be fair to them to give additional time for everyone to review. Council Member Turk agreed with Council Member Berna regarding the residents needing additional time to review the new information that had been presented. She appreciated city staff for relooking at the proposal and trying to design something that was responsive to the concerns expressed during the tour. Council Member Moore acknowledged everyone's comments and the concerns expressed regarding the safety of the intersection on Joyce Boulevard. She believed that city staff, Administration and the City Council were focused on ensuring they were making everything as safe as possible. She requested the item move forward instead of being tabled and believed the community members near the property would continue to be vocal and ensure their needs were expressed as the project continued. Council Member Stafford questioned when the deadline was for the City of Fayetteville to utilize the funds that were received from the developments for approximately $20,000. Chris Brown stated the city had five years, plus an extension. He stated the funds were first received in 2019 and the city was therefore getting close to the five year deadline. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Stafford and Chris Brown regarding when the project needed to be initiated. Chris Brown stated he had no concerns regarding the deadline and explained how it would take approximately four to six months to finalize the design and receive bids to get the project under construction. Council Member Jones thanked Chris Brown for his presentation and would be in support of tabling the item for two weeks to give residents time to review and ask questions. Council Member Bunch was in support of tabling the item as well and believed it would be fair to the citizens to allow them time to review the project. Council Member Berna moved to table the resolution to the February 20, 2024 City Council Meeting. Council Member Jones seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 6-2. Council Member Bunch, Turk, Hertzberg, Jones, Wiederkehr and Berna voted yes. Council Member Stafford and Moore voted no. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 9 of 23 This resolution was tabled to the February 20, 2024 City Council meeting. New Business: 2633 N. Gregg Avenue (Purchase Agreement): A resolution to approve the purchase of property located at 2633 N. Gregg Avenue owned by Quality Life Associates, Inc. in the amount of $525,000.00 plus $10,000.00 for closing costs, and to approve a budget adjustment - 2019 Street Improvement Bond Project. Chris Brown, Public Works Director gave a brief description of the resolution. He stated the appraised value for the property was priced at approximately $540,000, but the property owner agreed to sell the property for $525,000. He explained how the property in question was on the edge of a floodway, possibly even slightly in the floodway, so the removal of the structure on the property would be beneficial to the floodplain in the area. Council Member Stafford questioned if the building on the property could be used for any additional purpose other than being removed. Chris Brown stated city staff had reviewed alternative options and was looking at the potential of an individual moving the building off the property to utilize. He stated there would be no vehicular access to the building if it stayed on the property and stated the city was going to pursue every avenue before deciding to raze the structure. Council Member Turk questioned if the property to the south of the proposal would be something the city might need to purchase in the future. Chris Brown stated that was correct and explained his discussions with that property owner. He stated the appraised value for that property was approximately between $250,000 - $275,000. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Turk and Chris Brown of potentially utilizing the site as a preservation area in the future. Council Member Moore moved to approve the resolution. Council Member Berna seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 63-24 as recorded in the office of the City Clerk Woolsey Homestead (Asset Transfer): A resolution to approve the transfer of the Woolsey Farmstead Property from the Utilities Department to the Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs Department, and to approve a budget adjustment. Paul Becker, Chief Financial Officer gave a brief description of the resolution. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 10 of 23 Council Member Moore appreciated Paul Becker for the details regarding the proposal and of the effort of the Parks and Recreation Department. She hoped there could a be a tour of the property and some revisioning done regarding the details and plans for the area. She would be in support of the resolution. Council Member Turk questioned if the transfer of the property from Water and Sewer to General Assets restricted the use or vision of the property. Paul Becker stated that once the property was to General Assets, it could still be purposed in whatever way the City Council and Administration wished to utilize it. Council Member Berna moved to approve the resolution. Council Member Turk seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 64-24 as recorded in the office of the City Clerk Spout Springs Historic District (Petition Signature): A resolution to authorize Mayor Jordan to sign the proposed Spout Spring Historic District Petition agreeing that the city owned property of the Yvonne Richardson Community Center shall be included within the Spout Spring Historic District. Council Member Jones encouraged everyone to reach out to Emma Willis regarding any questions or concerns they had. He recognized Black History Month and the Fayetteville African American natives who were in attendance at the City Council Meeting. He believed the project had brought the community together and stated he had received no pushback in opposition to the request. He acknowledged how the City of Fayetteville had been the only city in the State of Arkansas to declare racism a public health crisis. He stated the proposal had a personal impact on him and that tonight would be an opportunity to fix this issue in the City of Fayetteville and how it could impact the community. Emma Willis stated she had been retained by Northwest Arkansas Black Heritage in August of last year in an effort to create a historic district in Spout Springs of Fayetteville, Arkansas, which consisted of a little over 698 lots. She was commissioned with the task of gathering a majority of signatures from landowners in that area as well as putting together a petition that consisted of all the legal language needed for the process. She briefly spoke of how there were many developers in the area in question that owned multiple properties, including the City of Fayetteville, Washington County and the Fayetteville School District. She was working towards creating a precedent for how historic districts would be incorporated in the City of Fayetteville in the future. She requested 42 properties to be signed for from the city and noted that the resolution had reduced the number down to only eight properties around the Yvonne Richardson Center. She requested the resolution be amended to reflect that the Northwest Arkansas Black Hertiage be placed as the party bringing the issue to the City Council and requested that the city give clarification for why the 42 properties had been reduced down to only eight properties and would like for that to be amended as well. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page I 1 of 23 City Attorney Kit Williams stated he could not agree to the amendment Emma Willis had mentioned due to legal reasons. He briefly explained how when a historic district was looking at property owners, he believed that to mean someone who owned a property they could live on or have a business on and that the easements in the area were not buildable and he did not believe those to be counted as property owners. He believed the safest thing to do would be to consider a property owner as having a developable lot or a house already built on said property. He believed the only property the City of Fayetteville owned in the Spout Springs area, aside from easements, was the Yvonne Richardson Center. Emma Willis questioned that if City Attorney Kit Williams' opinion held, would she be allowed to reduce the number of signatures she was required to gather. City Attorney Kit Williams believed that to be correct and explained that the parcels that did not have anyone living on them and were not developable shouldn't have to be counted. Emma Willis questioned how that could be approved prior to collecting signatures and suggested the possibility of getting a response from the Attorney General's Office on how the properties were viewed before creating a packet to send to the State of Arkansas for approval. City Attorney Kit Williams would be in favor of having an Attorney General opinion on the question at hand and believed it would be helpful. There was brief discussion between Emma Willis and City Attorney Kit Williams regarding reaching out to the Attorney General's Office. Emma Willis stated she would get additional clarification as to how the state viewed the properties in question and if they were considered undevelopable, then would the state reduce the number of signatures required. She stated she would continue doing work to collect the signatures and requested the item be tabled until a response was received from the Attorney Generals Office. Council Member Turk questioned if Emma Willis had spoken with the State Historic Preservation Officer located in Little Rock, Arkansas. Emma Willis stated there would be an event hosted at Crystal Bridges on February the 15t" for citizens to listen to the entire project from the State of Arkansas's perspective. Council Member Turk commented on how there were many historic districts in the State of Arkansas and the City of Fayetteville and so she believed the concerns posed earlier might have already been addressed. Emma Willis clarified that there were technically no historic districts in the City of Fayetteville. Council Member Turk stated there was a historic district located at the White Hangar in the City of Fayetteville and that there were many across the State of Arkansas. She believed it had already been decided whether rights -of -way could be included as parcels and did not believe an opinion from the Attorney General's Office was needed. She believed better clarification and guidance from the State Historic Preservation Officer would help. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 12 of 23 Emma Willis appreciated Council Member Turks suggestion. Council Member Stafford thanked Emma Willis for her work. Council Member Jones thanked Emma Willis for her work and questioned what timeline she was working with, and if reaching out to the State of Arkansas for clarification would affect that. Emma Willis explained how her work was done and that she hoped to have a packet for the City of Fayetteville to review and send to the State of Arkansas completed by the end of March. She stated she had already spoken with a majority of the property owners in the area. Council Member Jones expressed concerns regarding the signatures possibly not being validated and potentially causing a delay in the project. Emma Willis stated she had a list of property owners that had been provided from Washington County and spoke of how she had been meticulous in the process of signature collection and verifying said property owners by meeting them in person. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Jones and Emma Willis regarding the feedback she had received from the residents of the City of Fayetteville. Emma Willis stated she had been met with excitement at the opportunity and had not received any complaints. She spoke of how important it was for everyone to feel educated and comfortable with the process and stated there would be community clinics set up over the course of the next few weeks to provide clarity to property owners and assist them with estate planning and other things that went along with the creation of the historic district. She spoke of how she was highly communicative and was available for questions. She wanted to set a precedent going forward so that if another historic district was created later on in the future, there was clarification available on the process already. Council Member Berna applauded Emma Willis for her transparency and work on the resolution. He was supportive in the direction she was going with the project. He questioned if the historic district that was being proposed would be governed by rules and regulations associated with the State of Arkansas requirements. Emma Willis stated that was correct. Council Member Berna requested clarification regarding what the State of Arkansas guidelines were that the City of Fayetteville would be required to follow. Emma Willis stated she did not have the answer to that question currently and would not have that answer until the signature process was completed and the Historic Preservation Commission of the State of Arkansas had reviewed the request. She stated the request would then come back to the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas for a vote. She clarified that anyone existing in the area in question would not be penalized or harmed by the process, it would only reflect on future buildings and future things that were allowed into the community. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 13 of 23 City Attorney Kit Williams briefly spoke of the issues he hoped the Attorney General's Office could clarify regarding parcels and property owners. He stated that the current districts in the City of Fayetteville were Federal Districts, which had no enforcement powers, and would not have the same requirements as the proposed district being discussed tonight. Council Member Turk felt confident that a phone call with the State Historic Preservation Office would clear up a lot of the questions and concerns that had been expressed tonight. Mayor Jordan requested Britin Bostick come forward and give additional information. Britin Bostick, Long Range Planning/Special Projects Manager introduced herself and her colleague, Sherry Grifith, as the point of contact between the City of Fayetteville and the State Preservation Office, as well as the point of contact for federally funded or federally regulated projects that evaluated impacts to federally identified historic sites. She stated the City of Fayetteville had eleven national registered districts and 70 individually listed areas on the National Register of Historic Places and gave a brief explanation of what historic districts were and how they were reviewed. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Moore and Britin Bostick regarding the range of possible uses for the proposed historic district. Britin Bostick gave a brief explanation of the different historic districts located in the State of Arkansas and expressed how they all had design guidelines adopted that focused on specific details regarding things such as the buildings themselves and site design features. Council Member Moore questioned at what point the signature process had been done with each city in Arkansas and if it had been done in different ways. Britin Bostick stated she had not been able to find that information quickly and that the state grant application the City Council had approved previously for seeking additional assistance with research work could give the city a strong foundation for looking into establishing a historic district. Council Member Stafford thanked everyone for their work on the project. He briefly spoke of how the project would be a long process and that it was too important to fail due to unanswered concerns. He wanted to encourage everyone to reach out if they had questions and stated he was in support of the resolution. He requested that if the city received clarification that a property owner could only sign once of the signature petition that the overall required number would be reduced. City Attorney Kit Williams, "It's a majority of the property owners so that when you have a smaller number that are eligible, obviously you have a smaller number that you have to get." The City Council received 4 public comments regarding this resolution. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 14 of 23 Council Member Jones moved to amend whereas clause to Emma Willis representative of the Northwest Arkansas Black Heritage. Council Member Stafford seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. City Attorney Kit Williams stated Britin Bostick could contact the State Historic Preservation Office for their opinion on if there were specifically addressed rules on counting property owners and if not, staff could then contact the Attorney General's Office to get better clarification. Emma Willis was agreeable to that process and stated she would continue the effort of gathering signatures from individual property owners and would wait before getting signatures from property owners who owned more than two properties. Council Member Jones questioned if a timeline needed to be developed for the response the city expected to receive back. Emma Willis expected a response to be received soon and that the item be tabled to the next City Council Meeting. Council Member Berna questioned if Britin Bostick believed that timeline to be realistic. Britin Bostick, "Yes, sir."

Billy Bryant, Senior Code Compliance Officer gave a brief description of the City of Fayetteville's razing and removal process and of the history regarding the property. He stated the item had been brought to the City Council in the past, where it had been tabled three times to afford the property owner time to make repairs. He stated the last time the item had been presented to the City Council staff had recommended it be tabled indefinitely due to the sale of the property to another individual. He stated the new property owner had not removed the dilapidated structure and therefore staff recommended approval of a raze and removal order for the property. He stated 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 16 of 23 the Building Official had determined further extensions for the property to be inappropriate and that allowing the structure to stand posed a danger. John Mullins, Property Owner stated he had never said that he would not tear the structure down and spoke of how he had tried to tear down the building and rezone the property, but the City of Fayetteville had not allowed him to do so. Council Member Moore questioned if the property owner had made inquiries or applications to city staff for redevelopment of the area. Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director stated staff had not received any applications to rezone the property, but believed the property owner might have reached out to staff via inquiries on the feasibility of redevelopment. Council Member Hertzberg asked what the current zoning and total acreage was for the property. Jonathan Curth stated the property was split zoned; the front portion was zoned Residential Single Family 4 units per acre, and the back portion was zoned Residential Office. He stated the property in whole was just shy of one acre. Council Member Bunch questioned how long the property had been on the floodplain and if that had changed when the property switched ownership. Jonathan Curth stated the property had already been encumbered with floodplain at the time it had switched ownership. Council Member Bunch believed the floodplain issue regarding the property had been made clear at the time of purchase. Council Member Wiederkehr commented that the existing structure would have needed to be demolished before the owner could proceed with building something else, so he did not understand the comments regarding the city not allowing the property owner to redevelop. Council Member Turk moved to approve the resolution. Council Member Stafford seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously.

He stated the property was outside of the floodplain, but access to the property was within the floodplain. He stated tree canopy requirements would stay at 20% and briefly spoke of the public comment that had been received in concern and opposition to the request with the focus in regard to flooding. He stated staff recommended denial of the request and found that the existing zoning designation was the most appropriate option given the flooding in the area. He stated the Planning Commission forwarded the request to the City Council by a vote of 7-1, with comments that they felt the change was incremental and of the ability for a developer to develop the property more flexibly. He stated the vote in opposition aligned with staffs concerns regarding flooding and that allowing a higher density in the area would not align with the city's Long Range Planning goals. He stated Phil Swope was present as the applicant for the item. Phil Swope, Applicant stated there were many floodplain ordinances and requirements to ensure safety and flooding was maintained in a proper way. He requested the City Council's support.

Sparrow CirNan Winkle, 603): A resolution to grant the appeal of Council Members Scott Berna, Sarah Bunch, and D'Andre Jones and refer Conditional Use Permit CUP 2023-171 back to the Planning Commission to consider the application for a Short Term Rental at 1006 East Sparrow Circle in Ward 1. Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director gave a brief description of Type One and Type Two Short -Term Rentals. He stated the City of Fayetteville currently had 96 Type One Short -Term Rentals and 447 Type Two Short -Term Rentals, he stated there were 27 Short -Term Rentals in review and 22 on a waitlist. He noted an Ordinance Review Committee Meeting was scheduled for February 21St at 5:30 PM with this item on the agenda. He gave a brief description of the ordinance. He stated that in September of last year, Planning had received a request to utilize the property as a Type Two Short -Term Rental which was denied by the Planning Commission by a vote of 1-7, with concern due to density of Type Two Short -Term Rentals in the area. He stated that a month later, Planning received a complaint that the property was operating as a short-term rental and after validating the complaint, a violation letter was issued and escalated in early December when the listing was found to still be open. Planning also received another application around that time to utilize the property as a Type Two Short -Term Rental. He stated planning staff recommended the proposal not be approved with concerns regarding parking, density and concentration of short-term rentals in the area and did not find there to be any notable changes in those issues. "This was a somewhat unusual request when it came through in September as in that this property owner submitted three short-term rental applications that came through all at that one meeting and I think it's important to note this because planning staff was conflicted in their recommendation and because we felt that it was appropriate perhaps to have one of these added to this area but adding all three would push the concentration just in this area of the city above four percent, which at the time we used to have a two percent cap which would have put them at double of what our cap was. The planning commission appeared to have observed that and of those three 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 20 of 23 applications, they approved one and the other two were denied, which represent items C.9 and C.10 on your agenda tonight. Ultimately, staff did not find that the request to be substantially changed enough to merit reconsideration and recommended denial of the request. The planning commission felt similarly and denied it by a vote of 2-6." Casey Copeland, Attorney with Aundrea Stone Hanna, P.L.L.C. briefly cited the City of Fayetteville Code and requested that the City Council send the proposal back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration. City Attorney Kit Williams spoke briefly of the City of Fayetteville Code regarding appeals and of how the circumstances that justify reconsideration by the Planning Commission for appeals must be relevant to why the item was turned down in the first place to some extent. He stated the City Council was sitting as the Planning Commission at the current meeting and it was up to them to decide whether or not the changes that were proposed by the applicant was sufficient to justify reconsideration by the Planning Commission. Jonathan Curth stated the staff report clearly outlined that staff did not find any evidence of change to convince staff to recommend the item be reconsidered. Council Member Berna stated Mr. Van Winkle had contacted 'him multiple times and conveyed those substantial changes had been made to his request. He felt as though that comment was not entirely accurate because staff had not found any substantial changes to the request in their report. Greg Van Winkle, Property Owner stated he had made the following changes to his request; modification of the Airbnb posting to lower the number of occupants that could stay on the property as well as a mandate of no more than four vehicles on the property, the addition of a property manager to monitor the parking on site as well as the addition of cameras. Council Member Berna expressed disappointment due to the fact that Mr. Van Winkle tried to include the conditional use permit into the request to be heard tonight, instead of just discussing whether the item had a substantial change to warrant it being sent back to the Planning Commission for consideration. Greg Van Winkle stated he had been following the leadership of his attorney in that regard. Council Member Bunch stated one of the biggest issues regarding the item was in regard to density, which had no substantial change. She agreed with Council Member Berna and had not noticed any significant changes to the proposal. Council Member Jones noted that Mr. Van Winkle stated he had not been able to express the changes to the Planning Commission and questioned why that had happened. Greg Van Winkle felt as though the biggest issue brought up during the Planning Commission meeting had been in regard to parking and didn't understand why his changes of reducing it down to four applicants, four parking places, the addition of a property owner and cameras weren't 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www Fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 21 of 23 enough to modify that concern. He stated he had asked for advice but received nothing more than just being told his changes weren't enough. Council Member Jones stated he did not see any significant changes to the request and encouraged Mr. Van Winkle to always ask questions to get additional assistance and clarification. Council Member Stafford stated density was a huge problem for him regarding short-term rentals and spoke of how Mr. Van Winkle had continued operating the property as a Type Two Short - Term Rental when he was not supposed to. Greg Van Winkle stated he had snoozed the property on Airbnb while going through the process with the city. He did not realize the property had become unsnoozed until his property manager had received a letter stating so. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Stafford, Greg Van Winkle and Jonathan Curth regarding if anyone had rented the property when it should not have been operating as a Short -Term Rental. Greg Van Winkle stated that the property had not been rented during that time and the only people utilizing the property had been his family members. Jonathan Curth stated staff had a screenshot of the property being advertised and available to rent from December 12- 14th. Jonathan Curth clarified that the City of Fayetteville's Short -Term Rental Ordinance stated it was illegal to advertise properties if the property owner did not have a permit or a license to operate as a Short -Term Rental. Council Member Stafford questioned if it was appropriate for the City Council to question the judgment of the Planning Commission and staff, and request that the item be considered again. City Attorney Kit Williams explained that the City Council was currently sitting at the Planning Commission as if they were hearing the item for the first time and make whatever decision they felt was appropriate under the circumstances. Council Member Stafford would like to stick with the Planning Commission's recommendation. Council Member Hertzberg questioned why the applicant had not appealed Planning Commissions initial denial of the Conditional Use Permit. Casey Copeland explained how Mr. Van Winkle had hired an attorney to start the appeal, however the attorney had not done so properly and therefore the appeal had not went through at that time. Council Member Moore moved to approve the resolution. Council Member Turk seconded the motion. There was a brief discussion between Council Member Jones and Jonathan Curth regarding if the applicant could make any additional changes to bring the request back for consideration. Jonathan Curth explained that to make the same application again, it would require the applicant wait a year but if the applicant felt as though they had made changes to their request, the Planning Commission would then need to evaluate if the application had changed as stated. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 Www fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 22 of 23 City Attorney Kit Williams stated that if the City Council felt as though the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of changed circumstances or new circumstances to justify consideration of the appeal, a yes vote would grant the appeal and send it back to the Planning Commission for a new hearing. He stated if the City Council was not in favor and felt there were not enough changed circumstances, they would vote no. Council Member Moore moved to approve the resolution. Council Member Turk seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution failed 1-7. Council Member Jones voted yes. Council Member Bunch, Turk, Hertzberg, Stafford, Moore, Wiederkehr and Berna voted no. This resolution failed. Appeal: Conditional Use Permit-2023-0170: (854 E.

Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director gave a description of the resolution and stated the property had encountered the same issues as the previous item the City Council had heard. Casey Copeland, Attorney with Aundrea Stone Hanna, P.L.L.C. stated the remarks he had made for the last item -were the same for this item as well. There was brief discussion between Council Member Jones, Greg Van Winkle, Casey Copeland and City Attorney Kit Williams regarding Mr. Van Winkles' comments on the last item in regard to having a previous attorney who did not process the initial appeal accurately. There was brief discussion between Council Member Stafford, Greg Van Winkle and Council Member Hertzberg regarding the snooze rules for Airbnb listings being able to be set for an allotted amount of time. Greg Van Winkle stated he had set as snooze limit on his listing and had thought the process of obtaining the ability to operate his property as a short-term rental would have been done by the time the snooze limit had ended. Council Member Hertzberg clarified that listings for short-term rentals needed to be removed from Airbnb completely, not just snoozed. Council Member Moore moved to approve the resolution. Council Member Turk seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution failed 2-6. Council Member Bunch and Jones voted yes. Council Member Turk, Hertzberg, Stafford, Moore, Wiederkehr and Berna voted no. This resolution failed.
