CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-481
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Britin Bostick, Long Range Planning/Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: ADM-2024-0039: Administrative Item (Amend UDC Chapter 161 —Zoning
Regulations): Submitted by CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE STAFF. The request is an
amendment to UDC Chapter 161 to create a new zoning district section 161.36 called
Urban Corridor and set zoning regulations for the new district including permitted
and conditional uses, lot dimensional standards, setbacks, and building height.
Additionally, amendments are proposed to section 160.01 — Establishment of
Districts to add the new district, section 163.11 — Sexually Oriented Business to allow
sexually oriented businesses as a conditional use, section 164.25 — Tandem Lot
Development to establish building setbacks for tandem lots, section 167.04 — Tree
Preservation and Protection During Development to establish a minimum canopy
requirement, and chapter 174 — Signs to establish sign regulations for the new
zoning district.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of an amendment to the Unified Development
Code creating 161.36, Urban Corridor, and amending section 160.01 — Establishment of Districts, section
163.11 — Sexually Oriented Business, section 164.25 — Tandem Lot Development, section 167.04 — Tree
Preservation and Protection During Development, and chapter 174 — Signs.
BACKGROUND:
Following delivery of the Fayetteville Housing Assessment in October 2023, the Fayetteville City Council
passed Resolution 278-23 on December 5, 2023, affirming their support for the 71 B Corridor Regulating Plan
and Work Program. The resolution referenced prior actions to further the vision captured in the 71 B Corridor
Plan, including:
Transfer of ownership of the 71 B right-of-way from the Arkansas Department of Transportation to the
City of Fayetteville,
Authorization of planning work for the reconstruction of the streetscape, and
Streetscape improvements underway or complete for portions of the 71 B corridor.
On approval of Resolution 278-23, City of Fayetteville Planning staff began project work to study and ultimately
make a recommendation to the City Council on a rezoning of the 71 B Corridor to allow for the construction of
housing, as recommended by the 2023 Housing Assessment. In May and June of 2024, Planning staff
facilitated a series of seven public meetings and exhibits that communicated the intent of a proposed rezoning
and sought input on aspects of zoning that would be preferred, including permitted and disallowed uses,

building height, setbacks, and tree protection. Approximately 100 people attended these in -person events, with
approximately 75 people taking the in -person survey. An online survey on the city's Speak Up survey platform
was available in the month of June, with 799 respondents. Planning staff reviewed those comments as well as
public comments made in public hearings on development applications at both Planning Commission and City
Council meetings over the course of the past year and compared the input to the city's existing zoning districts.
The online survey results and combined in -person results are attached to this memo. Ultimately, the input
received did not entirely align with an existing zoning district, and staff began working on a draft of a new
zoning district that responded more directly to the public input received.
Planning staff presented public input to the Planning Commission at their annual retreat held on June 8, 2024,
and solicited feedback from the commissioners on whether to approach a proposed rezoning using existing
zoning district(s) or with a new zoning district created in response to the feedback received. Commissioners
expressed an interest in evaluating a new zoning district in addition to options for using existing zoning
districts. Staff subsequently brought three separate draft proposals to the Planning Commission in their Long
Range Planning Committee meetings in the months of June and July: one that proposed rezoning the parcels
in the project study area to Urban Thoroughfare (UT) only, one that proposed rezoning the parcels in the
project study area to a combination of UT and Main Street Center (MSC) zoning, with the MSC zoning applied
at or near major intersections, and one that proposed a new zoning district, which began as "Urban General"
but has been renamed to "Urban Corridor" in the course of the project. Downtown General (DG) zoning was
also considered as it was proposed at the in -person meetings and in the online survey. However, as staff
evaluated the various zoning districts in consideration side by side, the DG zoning district would have provided
the most restrictive reduction in permitted uses, with several existing uses not being permitted or conditional in
the DG zoning district. A side -by -side comparison of the zoning districts evaluated in that process, including
the proposed new Urban Corridor district, is attached to this memo.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this amendment is to establish a new zoning district titled "Urban Corridor" (UC). Through
discussion with the Planning Commission in June and July, staff developed UC in response to community input
that leaned toward reducing instances of vehicle -oriented uses and site design in favor of zoning that supports
walkable urban environments and that permits a mix of housing and commercial uses. The UC zoning district
is intended to acknowledge the legacy of highway -oriented development and commercial -only zoning
prominent along N. College Ave. and S. School Ave. and bridge existing zoning districts (primarily the UT and
DG zoning districts) by adding higher -density housing types as permitted uses and requiring approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for many vehicle -oriented uses rather than excluding them entirely. One goal for the
corridor is to facilitate a transit -supportive minimum density of 10 dwelling units per acre. As a result, single
and two-family dwellings require a Conditional Use Permit as those housing types are typically constructed at a
lower density than a goal transit -supportive minimum density for the corridor of 10 dwelling units or more per
acre. Additionally, smaller scale residential developments do not leverage infrastructure to the fiscally
responsible levels associated with multi -family and mixed -use development. Effective use of 71 B's existing
infrastructure, including street, water, and sewer, is a component of both the 71 B Corridor Plan.
A site design advantage to the proposed UC zoning district is that no minimum lot size or lot width is proposed,
meaning lots would not have a zoning requirement to have street frontage, although street frontage may be
required for utility connections depending on the lot, site, and utility configuration. The zoning district is not
proposed to have a front setback, usually associated with large front parking lots and buildings set back from
the street. Instead, a 0'-30' front build -to zone is proposed, meaning future buildings would need to be located
within the front 30' of the property where it abuts a public right-of-way. Siting buildings closer to the street
creates shorter connections to building entrances for cyclists and pedestrians and creates a more urban
streetscape when fully built out. Buildings would need to be built across a minimum of 50% of the lot frontage
but could still utilize up to half of the frontage for vehicle circulation and site design elements. No side or rear

Fayetteville, AR 72701
setbacks are proposed unless the property is contiguous to a single-family residential zoning district, in which
case the setback would be 15 feet. The building height maximum is proposed to be eight stories. The proposed
UC zoning district is attached, as well as a detailed listing of permitted uses, uses that would require approval
of a Conditional Use Permit, and uses that would not be permitted.
With the addition of a new zoning district comes amendments to other sections of the Unified Development
Code (UDC). In this instance, amendments are also needed to:
• Section 160.01 — Establishment of Zoning Districts to add UC to the list of zoning districts.
• Section 163.11 — Sexually Oriented Business to allow sexually oriented businesses in the UC zoning
district as a conditional use.
• Section 164.25 — Tandem Lot Development to establish building setbacks of 5 feet from all property
lines for tandem lots, the same as for the mixed use zoning districts listed in Section 164.25(B)(5)(e).
• Section 167.04 — Tree Preservation and Protection During Development to establish a minimum
canopy requirement for the UC zoning district in Section 167.04(C) Table 1. This is proposed to be
20%, similar to some of the higher -intensity residential zoning districts and lower intensity commercial
districts, and in acknowledgement of public input favoring tree canopy and the large amount of existing
wooded hillside and intact tree canopy area along portions of the corridor.
• Chapter 174 — Signs to establish sign regulations for the new zoning district:
0 174.03(C) — Exemptions to add UC to the table of signs in the row permitted to be illuminated
and 32" in area.
0 174.10(A)(4), 174.10(13)(2)(f), 174.10(C)(3), and 174.10(D)(2) to add the UC zoning district to
the list of commercial and mixed use zoning districts to define which sign regulations are
applicable for the new district.
The Planning Commission considered the proposal at their August 26, 2024, meeting. Commissioners
discussed potential amendments to the proposed zoning district, including removing short-term rentals from
permitted uses and/or making them a conditional use, adjusting the build -to -zone to a more narrow allowance
of 0'-15' from the front property line, and adding a limitation to the proposed 8-story building height for a
building step back requirement similar to what is described in the C-2 (Commercial Thoroughfare) zoning
district. Commissioners expressed concerns about permitting additional short-term rentals in an area meant to
be part of providing housing solutions for Fayetteville residents and whether the citywide cap on type 2 short-
term rentals provided a sufficient impediment to that use along the corridor. Also of concern was the broad
range of outcomes that could be possible with a 0'-30' build -to -zone compared to limiting that setback to just
15' behind the property line and creating more certainty in the expectations and outcomes for building
placement. Commissioners also discussed with staff concerns about tall buildings constructed in proximity to
single-family homes and whether fire access requirements were sufficient to buffer residential neighborhoods
from proposed tall buildings.
Ultimately, the Planning Commission voted to forward the item to the City Council, receiving one comment in
favor during the public hearing and no comments prior. The motion to forward was made by Commissioner
Castin and seconded by Commissioner Garlock. A vote of 6-2-0 followed, with Commissioners Werner and
Payne voting not to forward. Commissioner Werner preferred to address short-term rental concerns prior to
forwarding the item to Council.

required to go through the development process.
(11) Building Permits. Tree preservation requirements apply to all permit applications for developments of
greater than 6,000 square feet of impervious area. An abbreviated tree preservation plan, as set forth
in §167.04(H)(3), shall be submitted with the application for building permits on projects that are not
required to go through the subdivision or large scale development process. There shall be no land
disturbance, grading, or tree removal until an abbreviated tree preservation plan has been submitted
and approved, and the tree protection measures at the site inspected and approved.
(12) Exemptions. Projects not listed above or not impacting tree canopy are not required to submit a tree
preservation plan or review from Urban Forestry.
(a) Persons seeking to construct 6,000 square feet or less of impervious area are specifically exempt
from the provisions of this section except when the land is located within the Hillside/Hilltop
Overlay District; then all the provisions of this ordinance shall apply.
(b) Structural changes to buildings located in the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District that do not result in
an enlargement of the building footprint or roof dripline shall not require an abbreviated tree
preservation plan.
(B) Tree Preservation Criteria. The Urban Forester shall consider the following factors, and any other relevant
information, when evaluating tree preservation plans:
(1) The desirability of preserving a tree or group of trees by reason of age, location, size, or species.
(2) Whether the design incorporates the required tree preservation priorities.
(3) The extent to which the area would be subject to environmental degradation due to removal of the
tree or group of trees.
Page 1 of 11
(4) The impact of the reduction in tree cover on adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood and
the property on which the tree or group of trees is located.
(5) Whether alternative construction methods have been proposed to reduce the impact of development
on existing trees.
(6) Whether the size or shape of the lot reduces the flexibility of the design.
(7) The general health and condition of the tree or group of trees, or the presence of any disease, injury,
or hazard.
(8) The placement of the tree or group of trees in relation to utilities, structures, and the use of the
property.
(9) The need to remove the tree or group of trees for the purpose of installing, repairing, replacing, or
maintaining essential public utilities.
(10) Whether proposed roads and proposed utilities are designed in relation to the existing topography,
and routed, where possible, to avoid damage to existing canopy.
(11) Construction requirements of on -site and off -site drainage.
(12) The effects of proposed on -site mitigation or off -site alternatives.
(13) The effect other chapters of the Unified Development Code, or city policies have on the development
design.
(14) The extent to which development of the site and the enforcement of this chapter are impacted by
state and federal regulations.
(15) The impact a substantial modification or rejection of the application would have on the applicant.
*Note —The above items are not presented in any particular order of importance. The weight each is given will
depend in large part on the individual characteristics of each project.
(C) Canopy Area. In all proposed developments that are required to submit a tree preservation plan or
abbreviated tree preservation plan, trees shall be preserved as outlined in Table 1 under Percent Minimum
Canopy, unless the applicant has been approved for on -site mitigation or off -site alternatives as set forth in
§167.04(I) and (J) below. The square foot percentage of canopy area required for preservation in new
development is based on the total area of the property for which the applicant is seeking approval, less the
right-of-way and park land dedications. An applicant shall not be required to plant trees in order to reach the
percent minimum canopy requirement on land where less than the minimum exists prior to development.

All residential zoning districts and C-1 districts within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District shall have their percent
minimum canopy requirements increased by 5% to a total requirement of either 30% or 25%.
(D) Prior Tree Removal.
(1) If trees have been removed below the required percent minimum canopy within the five (5) years
preceding application for a development, the site must be forested to meet the Percent Minimum
Canopy requirements set forth in Table 1, plus an additional 10% of the total area of the property for
which the applicant is seeking approval, less the right-of-way and park land dedications. The number of
trees required to be planted shall be calculated using the base density for high priority trees.
(2) Waiver. If an applicant is able to demonstrate to the Planning Commission's satisfaction that the trees
were removed for a bona fide agricultural purpose, and not with the intent to thwart enforcement of
this chapter, the additional 10% reforestation requirement shall be waived.
(E) Tree Preservation Priorities.
(1) Percent Minimum Canopy. Proposed designs must meet the percent minimum canopy requirements
for the particular zoning designation, emphasizing the preservation and protection of high priority
trees on the site. Trees in existing and not to be vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward
the percent minimum canopy requirement and such utilities shall be routed, wherever possible, to
avoid existing canopy.
Page 3 of 11
(2) Existing Natural Features. Each design shall consider the existing natural features of the site, the
preservation priorities for the trees, and the impact their proposed removal may have both on and off -
site.
(3) Priority Trees. The preservation and protection of high priority trees shall be enforced most stringently
to meet the minimum percentage of canopy preservation. High priority trees are alive, healthy, greater
than or equal to an 8-inch diameter at breast height for large and medium species of trees. High
priority for small species of trees is greater than or equal to a 4-inch diameter. Low priority trees are
invasive species or unhealthy as determined by a tree care professional pursuant to §167.07. Low
priority trees are less than an 8-inch diameter at breast height for larger and medium species and less
than a 4-inch diameter at breast height for smaller trees species.
(F) Tree Preservation Requirements for Proposed Residential and Non -Residential Developments.
(1) Residential Developments. The percent minimum canopy in residential developments shall be located
in areas that have the least possibility of impact as public infrastructure and proposed utilities are
installed and homes built. The intent is to leave undisturbed as many existing trees as possible for the
use and enjoyment of prospective lot owners. Residential developments requesting tree removal
below the percent minimum canopy requirement may choose either residential on -site mitigation, or
to contribute to the Tree Escrow Account as set forth in §167.04(J)(4)(a). Trees in existing and not to be
vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward the percent minimum canopy requirement, and
such proposed utilities shall be routed to avoid existing canopy and shall count toward the percent
minimum canopy requirement.
(2) Nonresidential Developments. Two (2) options are available for establishing a tree preservation plan for
the development of nonresidential developments. The Urban Forester shall recommend to the
Planning Commission the option that will potentially preserve the largest amount of high priority
canopy based upon the tree preservation criteria set forth in §167.04(B) above.
(a) Preservation Plan for Entire Development. The developer may choose to preserve the percent
minimum canopy required for the entire development. With this option, the preserved canopy
shall be located in areas that will not be impacted by future development of the individual lots.
Canopy to be preserved shall be noted on the final plat, and shall be protected as set forth in
§167.04(L) below. Should the entire percent minimum canopy requirement for the site be so
protected, the preserved canopy shall be placed in a tree preservation easement and the final
plat shall include a statement that the individual lots, as represented thereon, shall not require
separate tree preservation plans.
(b) Preservation Plan for Infrastructure Only. The developer, in consultation with city staff, shall
delineate the area required for the construction of the infrastructure and improvements for the
development. This area should include street rights -of -way, and utility and drainage easements.
Proposed lot lines, streets, and easements shall be located to avoid placing a disproportionate
percentage of existing canopy in any one (1) proposed lot. This option shall not allow the removal
of trees during the grading of individual lots, unless shown by the developer to be essential to the
project's engineering design. The developer will be required to compensate for the canopy
removed from defined individual lots by making the appropriate payment into the Tree Escrow
Account. On all other areas of the development, the developer shall protect the existing canopy
during the construction phase in accordance with §167.05 below. The final plat shall include a
statement that the individual lots shall require separate tree preservation plans.
(3) Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. Individual parcels or lots located within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay
District boundary shall submit a tree preservation plan or an abbreviated tree preservation plan as set
forth in §167.04(H)(3) indicating the location of the structure and the preservation of the minimum
tree canopy requirement.
Page 4 of 11
(4) Developers have the option of creating cluster development, such as a Planned Zoning District, which
would encourage more open space and tree preservation. In this pattern of development, the trees
preserved or open space on each lot can be transferred to a larger Tree Preservation Easement instead
of individual lots required to meet minimum percent requirements. The Tree Preservation Easements
shall be clearly depicted on easement plats or final plats.
(G) Initial Review.
(1) Meeting with the Urban Forester. It is strongly recommended that prospective applicants meet with
the Urban Forester for an initial review of the proposed tree preservation plan for the site prior to
submitting a proposed development to the city. During the initial review, the Urban Forester shall
make recommendations to ensure the proposed subdivision or development complies with the
requirements of this chapter. These recommendations shall be nonbinding. However, applicants
proceed at the risk of higher costs and longer approval times due to changes required by a
noncompliant submittal should they choose not to have the initial review or to disregard the
recommendations of the Urban Forester.
(2) Confirmation. The Urban Forester shall document whether the applicant participated in the initial
review meeting in the Tree Preservation and Protection staff report given to applicants going through
the development review process. If the applicant chooses to attend an initial review meeting, the staff
report shall also document any recommendations made. The Urban Forester shall ensure that a copy of
the report or email becomes part of the permanent file for the project.
(H) Submittal of Plans. Applicants should bear in mind that all plans will be evaluated according to the tree
preservation criteria and percent minimum canopy requirements as set forth under §167.04(B) and (C).
(1) Tree Preservation Plan. On sites with existing tree canopy, the applicant shall conduct a tree
preservation analysis to determine the approximate age, health, size and species distribution of the
trees, noting each on a tree preservation plan, and clearly showing the locations and types of all
natural features on a site, including features 100 feet beyond the property lines. The tree preservation
plan shall also specifically depict the applicable preservation priority level for each tree or group of
trees on the site. The plan should include, but not be limited to, delineation of the following features as
they exist on the site:
(a) The existing topography of the site highlighting slopes of 15% or greater, and indicating the
natural drainage patterns;
(b) The property line boundaries of the site;
(c) Soils identified according to the Unified Soil Classification System;
(d) Any significant trees, as defined in the City of Fayetteville's Tree Preservation, Protection and
Landscape Manual, existing on the site, and the location of trunks, spread of the canopy, species,
diameter at breast height (DBH), and the overall health of each significant tree;
(e) Groupings of trees, delineating the edges of the overall canopy, noting the predominate species,
average height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and general health of the trees.
(f) All existing utilities and utility easements;
(g) All features, including trees, buildings, perennial and intermittent streams and creeks that exist
on the site or within 100 feet of the limits of disturbance;
(h) Floodplains and floodways on the site;
(i) All existing rights -of -way within and surrounding the project site, including any designated trails
or bike paths; and,
(j) Any other factors that may impact the design of the site.
Page 5 of 11
(2) Additional Tree Preservation Plan Content. The applicant shall indicate all proposed site improvements,
and delineate in the tree preservation plan the trees to be retained on -site, and the measures to be
implemented for their protection. These measures shall include, but need not be limited to, fencing,
limits of root pruning, as well as restrictions on traffic and material storage. The plan shall also clearly
depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all areas to be graded both on and off -site, as well as the
proposed location of utilities. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation,
Protection and Landscape Manual for details, examples and specific checklists. Examples can be
provided upon request to the Urban Forester.
(3) Abbreviated Tree Preservation Plan. Applicants requesting approval of development projects for
between 6,001 to 10,000 square feet of impervious area that require building permits, grading, or
parking lot permits, but that do not fall under the requirements for developments required to go
through the development review process of Technical Plat Review Committee, Subdivision Committee
and Planning Commission, shall prepare and submit an abbreviated tree preservation plan. The
information for an abbreviated tree preservation plan may be combined with the site plan, plat
drawing, or grading plan. The applicant is expected to show the general location of all existing groups
of trees, individual significant trees, and to clearly depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all
areas to be graded, both on and off -site, as well as the proposed location of utilities. Protective
measures such as fencing, limits of root pruning, restriction on traffic and materials storage shall be
depicted on the plan. A preliminary site visit with the Urban Forester is highly recommended before
applying for any of the above -mentioned permits. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual for details, and specific checklists. Applicants
submitting abbreviated tree preservation plans shall not be required to submit an analysis report, nor
shall they be required to hire architects, engineers, or landscape architects to prepare the abbreviated
tree preservation plan.
(4) Analysis Report. The applicant shall submit an analysis report when minimum percent canopy is not
met. The report shall detail the design approaches used to minimize damage to or removal of existing
canopy that were considered in arriving at the proposed design. Written justification shall be presented
as to why individual trees or canopy must be removed. The report shall also detail proposed on -site
mitigation options or off -site alternatives, as detailed below.
(5) Grading and Utility Plans. All subsequent grading and utility plans shall depict Tree Preservation Areas,
preserved trees, and the physical limits of all protective measures on site required during construction.
(6) Submittal Requirements. The applicant shall submit a tree preservation plan. Development plans with
removal of tree canopy below percent minimum canopy shall submit an analysis report to the Urban
Forester, concurrently with their tree preservation plan. Applicants submitting abbreviated tree
preservation plans shall not be required to submit analysis report.
(7) Tree Preservation Easements. The City of Fayetteville shall encourage the use of Tree Preservation
Easements for the added protection of trees preserved to meet percent minimum canopy
requirements or trees planted, in those instances where such would be of mutual benefit to the
applicant and the City of Fayetteville.
(1) Request for On -Site Mitigation.
(1) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation. Requests to remove trees below the percent minimum
canopy requirement must be incorporated with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Plan Requirements. The tree preservation plan must graphically represent the species and location for
all existing trees on -site. It shall also include a chart clearly stating the following information:
(a) The number of trees requested for removal;
(b) The percentage below the percent minimum canopy requirement they represent; and
Page 6 of 11
(c) The species and number of trees to be planted based on the forestation requirements below.
(3) Planting Details and Notes. Planting details and notes shall be included on the tree preservation plan or
landscape plan as set forth in the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape
Manual.
(4) Forestation Requirements. The number and species of trees required for forestation shall be based
upon the quality of the canopy lost:
(a) High Priority Canopy. When removing high priority canopy below the percent minimum canopy
required, the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of two hundred
(200), 2-inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(b) Low Priority Canopy. When removing low priority canopy below the percent minimum required,
the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of one hundred (100), 2-
inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(5) Base Density. Compensating for the environmental damage caused by removing tree canopy shall be
accomplished by forestation on a per acre basis. The base density formula used above is based on 2-
inch caliper trees. However, the urban forester may approve the use of trees with less than 2-inch
caliper for the planting of smaller tree species required by spatial constraints on the site. In such cases,
the number of trees to be planted may be adjusted in accordance with the species table to be found in
the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual.
(6) Preferred Species. All trees to be planted shall be species native to the Ozark region or native cultivars,
when available, or selected from the list of preferred tree species set forth in the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection and Landscape Manual. Species selection shall be based upon the
amount of space available for proper growth on the site, and must be approved by the Urban Forester.
(7) Placement of Trees. The applicant is expected to plant trees in locations on the site where the
environmental benefits of canopy cover are most likely to offset the impact of development. Trees
shall not be placed within utility easements, or in other locations where their future protection cannot
be assured.
(8) Residential On -Site Mitigation. Applicants requesting on -site mitigation for residential developments
shall comply with all the provisions of §167.04(I), as well as the following:
(a) The applicant's mitigation plan shall meet or exceed the required number of mitigation trees
based on the forestation requirements as set forth at §167.04(I)(4).
(b) All plans requesting residential on -site mitigation shall include a binding three (3) year
maintenance and monitoring plan, which shall hold the applicant responsible for the health of all
planted trees.
(i) Approval of a plan requesting residential on -site mitigation shall be contingent upon the
applicant depositing with the city an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of materials and labor for all trees at the time of planting. The irrevocable
letter of credit must cover the entire three (3) year maintenance and monitoring period.
Applicant shall submit cost estimates to the Urban Forester for approval.
(ii) Upon completion of the three (3) year landscape establishment period, the Urban Forester
shall inspect the site and determine whether 90% of the trees are healthy and have a
reasonable chance of surviving to maturity. Upon such a finding, the city shall release the
letter of credit.
(iii) In the absence of such a finding, the applicant shall be notified to replace any unhealthy or
dead trees, or take other appropriate action as approved by the Urban Forester. If the
Page 7 of 11
applicant does not take remedial steps to bring the property into compliance, the city shall
use the necessary moneys from the landscape establishment guarantee to do so.
(iv) In the event trees are injured or destroyed by natural disasters, including but not limited
to, tornadoes, straight-line winds, ice storms, fire, floods, hail, or lightning strikes, or
through the independent actions of third parties, the applicant shall be relieved of the
responsibility of replanting the tree or trees so affected.
(c) Developers requesting mitigation trees be planted along the street right-of-way of residential
developments shall submit a landscape plan that complies with the standards outlined in the City
of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual in order to ensure that new
trees planted are of the highest quality, require low maintenance, and do not interfere with
public safety. The species of trees to be planted shall be selected from the approved street tree
species list, or be otherwise specifically approved by the Urban Forester. The applicant's
mitigation plan for planting street trees shall describe in detail the method for tracking the
development of the individual lots, which shall best ensure that required number and species of
mitigation trees are planted.
(9) Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives (Green Roofs or Green Facades).
(a) Intent. The intent is to allow previously developed sites with at least 50% existing impervious
area and limited space for planting trees to use on -site mitigation alternatives to meet the
mitigation requirements and still contribute beneficial plant materials that provide positive
ecosystem services.
(b) Applicability. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives shall only be allowed as alternatives to planting
trees in form -based zoning districts that allow for mixed -use and do not have a building area
maximum requirement. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives may not be utilized on sites that have
adequate space to meet landscape requirements.
(c) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives. Requests for on -site alternatives must be
incorporated and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(d) Intensive Green Roof. A green roof with 6 inches or great soil medium that can sustain plant
species with deeper root systems.
(e) Extensive Green Roof. A green roof with 2 to 5 inches of soil medium that can sustain plant
species with shallow root systems.
(f) Green Fagade. A green fagade is created by growing climbing plants up and across the fagade of a
building, either from plants grown directly in the ground or a large container of at least 12 inches
of soil medium. Plants can attach directly to the building or be supported with a 12-inch by 12-
inch trellis system connected to the building.
(g) Mitigation Alternative Calculations. The applicant's plan to install an extensive green roof,
intensive green roof, and green fagade in lieu of a mitigation tree shall be based from square
footage of tree canopy.
(i) The calculation for an extensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 2.5 square feet of extensive green roof.
(ii) The calculation for an intensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 1.4 square feet of intensive green roof.
(iii) The calculation for a green fagade shall be done based from a ratio of 1 square foot of tree
canopy to 2.5 square feet of green facade.
(J) Request for Off -Site Alternatives.
Page 8 of 11
(1) Timing of Request for Off -Site Alternatives. Requests for off -site alternatives must be incorporated in,
and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Off -Site Preservation. The applicant may seek approval of the Urban Forester to preserve an equal or
greater amount of canopy cover at a site within the city limits.
(3) Off -Site Forestation.
(a) If off -site preservation cannot be achieved, the applicant may seek approval from the Urban
Forester to plant the required number of trees on another site owned by the applicant and
located within the city limits. A tree preservation easement must be conveyed concurrently with
or prior to submission of a final plat by the applicant to the city to protect any off -site
preservation or forestation and the legal description of the tree preservation easement shall also
appear on the final plat.
(b) An applicant may plant and maintain mitigation trees needed for the applicant's development as
to fulfill the obligation set forth in Chapter 167, Tree Preservation and Protection, in a nearby city

the advisability of forestation of the nearby city park and may apply express conditions including
requiring irrigation to be installed and regular maintenance to be performed by the applicant.
(4) Tree Escrow Account. Tree preservation on -site is always the preferred option, with on -site mitigation,
off -site preservation, off -site forestation, and on -site mitigation alternatives to be considered in
descending order only if the more preferred option cannot be fully achieved. If none of these options
can completely fulfill a developer's obligation under this Tree Preservation and Protection Chapter, the
developer shall pay into the City Tree Escrow Account $250.00 for each tree required to meet the Base
Density requirements which fairly represents the costs of material and labor to plant a tree. The
developer shall also pay into the Tree Escrow Fund $425.00 as three (3) years of maintenance costs to
ensure each tree survives for that period of time. Tree planting and maintenance costs should be
reviewed at least every four (4) years to ensure it remains the fair market costs for tree planting and
maintenance for three (3) years.
(a) Residential developments which cannot achieve the base density tree requirements through
preservation or mitigation shall contribute to the Tree Escrow Account. The city shall use the
money paid into the Tree Escrow Account to plant trees within the development along rights -of -
way, detention ponds, common areas or other areas where trees can be protected and have a
high probability of survival to a mature tree. This shall be accomplished once the development is
built out or as approved by the Urban Forester.
(b) Money contributed in lieu of on -site mitigation or off -site forestation shall be paid prior to
issuance of a building permit on all commercial, industrial, or multi -family residential buildings
and prior to final plat acceptance for all residential and non-residential subdivisions.
(c) Money contributed under this section:
(i) May be used for canopy mitigation, including planting site identification, tree acquisition,
planting, and maintenance, utilizing either city staff or contract labor;
(ii) Shall not revert to the general fund for ongoing operations.
(d) If it is not possible to plant trees within the development, planting locations will be sought in
appropriate sites within a 1 mile radius of where the original project is located, but if this cannot
be achieved, the moneys shall be used to plant the trees in the park quadrant in which the
development took place, or pursuant to §167.04(J)(2) and (3). Data extracted from the urban
forest analysis should be consulted when identifying appropriate locations to plant escrow
funded trees.

(g) Notice of the right to a refund, including the amount of the refund and the procedure for
applying for and receiving the refund, shall be sent or served in writing to the applicant no later
than thirty (30) days after the date which the refund becomes due. The sending by regular mail of
the notices to the applicant shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirement of notice.
(h) The refund shall be made on a pro rata basis, and shall be paid in full no later than ninety (90)
days after the date certain upon which the refund becomes due.
(i) At the time of the contribution to the Tree Escrow Account, the Urban Forester shall provide the
applicant with written notice of those circumstances under which refunds of such fees will be
made. Failure to deliver such written notice shall not invalidate any contribution to the Tree
Escrow Account under this ordinance.
(K) Tree Preservation Plan Review Form. The Urban Forester shall use a standardized form for all
recommendations or administrative determinations made regarding an applicant's tree preservation plan.
(1) The form shall clearly indicate whether the Urban Forester is making a final administrative
determination, or a recommendation to the Planning Commission or City Council.
(2) The form shall also clearly indicate the applicant's plan is "APPROVED," "DISAPPROVED," or
"CONDITIONALLY APPROVED," and explain the reasoning therefore.
(3) A statement shall appear on the form explaining the process by which a final administrative
determination may be appealed in accordance with Chapter 155 of the Unified Development Code.
(4) The Urban Forester shall sign and date the form, and ensure that a copy becomes part of the
permanent file for the project.
(L) Continuing Preservation and Protection Under Approved Tree Preservation Plans and Tree Preservation
Easements.
(1) Large scale developments, large scale site improvements, and commercial preliminary plats are
required to dedicate a tree preservation easement, if any existing tree are to be preserved. The tree
preservation easement shall be the size of the minimum canopy preservation requirement, if possible.
If the minimum tree preservation canopy is not available, the applicant will not be required to dedicate
the minimum canopy preservation. The applicant will have to dedicate a tree preservation easement
that is agreed upon with The Urban Forester. In order to ensure that an applicant's heirs, successors,
assigns, or any subsequent purchasers of the subject property are put on notice as to the existence and
extent of approved tree preservation easements which shall be clearly depicted and noted on the
easement plats for large scale developments, large scale site improvements, commercial final plats,
and any plats with a tree preservation easement. This shall be accompanied by a narrative statement
describing the nature of the protection afforded, and bearing the signature of the Urban Forester. If it
is impractical to include the actual depiction of the canopy in a tree preservation easement on the
easement plat, or final plat itself, a note cross referencing an accompanying document shall suffice.
(2) The geographic extent and location of tree preservation easements, once recorded, may only be
modified, or abolished with the express approval of the City Council. Applicants requesting such action
shall bear the burden of proving to the City Council's satisfaction that such modification or abolition is
in the best interest of the City of Fayetteville. Such requests shall be submitted to the urban forester,
who shall ask the City Clerk to place it on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Council
meeting.
Page 10 of 11
(3) Property owners wishing to remove diseased or dead trees from within a recorded tree preservation
easement shall seek prior approval from the Urban Forester, who shall determine if such removal is
consistent with sound arboricultural and horticultural practices, as well as the intent of this chapter.
Any tree so removed shall be replaced with a tree of like or similar species, unless the Urban Forester
determines that natural replacements of sufficient health and vigor are already present in the tree
preservation easement.

required to go through the development process.
(11) Building Permits. Tree preservation requirements apply to all permit applications for developments of
greater than 6,000 square feet of impervious area. An abbreviated tree preservation plan, as set forth
in §167.04(H)(3), shall be submitted with the application for building permits on projects that are not
required to go through the subdivision or large scale development process. There shall be no land
disturbance, grading, or tree removal until an abbreviated tree preservation plan has been submitted
and approved, and the tree protection measures at the site inspected and approved.
(12) Exemptions. Projects not listed above or not impacting tree canopy are not required to submit a tree
preservation plan or review from Urban Forestry.
(a) Persons seeking to construct 6,000 square feet or less of impervious area are specifically exempt
from the provisions of this section except when the land is located within the Hillside/Hilltop
Overlay District; then all the provisions of this ordinance shall apply.
(b) Structural changes to buildings located in the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District that do not result in
an enlargement of the building footprint or roof dripline shall not require an abbreviated tree

information, when evaluating tree preservation plans:
(1) The desirability of preserving a tree or group of trees by reason of age, location, size, or species.
(2) Whether the design incorporates the required tree preservation priorities.
(3) The extent to which the area would be subject to environmental degradation due to removal of the
tree or group of trees.
Page 1 of 11
(4) The impact of the reduction in tree cover on adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood and
the property on which the tree or group of trees is located.
(5) Whether alternative construction methods have been proposed to reduce the impact of development
on existing trees.
(6) Whether the size or shape of the lot reduces the flexibility of the design.
(7) The general health and condition of the tree or group of trees, or the presence of any disease, injury,
or hazard.
(8) The placement of the tree or group of trees in relation to utilities, structures, and the use of the
property.
(9) The need to remove the tree or group of trees for the purpose of installing, repairing, replacing, or
maintaining essential public utilities.
(10) Whether proposed roads and proposed utilities are designed in relation to the existing topography,
and routed, where possible, to avoid damage to existing canopy.
(11) Construction requirements of on -site and off -site drainage.
(12) The effects of proposed on -site mitigation or off -site alternatives.
(13) The effect other chapters of the Unified Development Code, or city policies have on the development
design.
(14) The extent to which development of the site and the enforcement of this chapter are impacted by
state and federal regulations.
(15) The impact a substantial modification or rejection of the application would have on the applicant.
*Note —The above items are not presented in any particular order of importance. The weight each is given will
depend in large part on the individual characteristics of each project.
(C) Canopy Area. In all proposed developments that are required to submit a tree preservation plan or
abbreviated tree preservation plan, trees shall be preserved as outlined in Table 1 under Percent Minimum
Canopy, unless the applicant has been approved for on -site mitigation or off -site alternatives as set forth in
§167.04(I) and (J) below. The square foot percentage of canopy area required for preservation in new
development is based on the total area of the property for which the applicant is seeking approval, less the
right-of-way and park land dedications. An applicant shall not be required to plant trees in order to reach the
percent minimum canopy requirement on land where less than the minimum exists prior to development.

All residential zoning districts and C-1 districts within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District shall have their percent
minimum canopy requirements increased by 5% to a total requirement of either 30% or 25%.
(D) Prior Tree Removal.
(1) If trees have been removed below the required percent minimum canopy within the five (5) years
preceding application for a development, the site must be forested to meet the Percent Minimum
Canopy requirements set forth in Table 1, plus an additional 10% of the total area of the property for
which the applicant is seeking approval, less the right-of-way and park land dedications. The number of
trees required to be planted shall be calculated using the base density for high priority trees.
(2) Waiver. If an applicant is able to demonstrate to the Planning Commission's satisfaction that the trees
were removed for a bona fide agricultural purpose, and not with the intent to thwart enforcement of
this chapter, the additional 10% reforestation requirement shall be waived.
(E) Tree Preservation Priorities.
(1) Percent Minimum Canopy. Proposed designs must meet the percent minimum canopy requirements
for the particular zoning designation, emphasizing the preservation and protection of high priority
trees on the site. Trees in existing and not to be vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward
the percent minimum canopy requirement and such utilities shall be routed, wherever possible, to
avoid existing canopy.
Page 3 of 11
(2) Existing Natural Features. Each design shall consider the existing natural features of the site, the
preservation priorities for the trees, and the impact their proposed removal may have both on and off -
site.
(3) Priority Trees. The preservation and protection of high priority trees shall be enforced most stringently
to meet the minimum percentage of canopy preservation. High priority trees are alive, healthy, greater
than or equal to an 8-inch diameter at breast height for large and medium species of trees. High
priority for small species of trees is greater than or equal to a 4-inch diameter. Low priority trees are
invasive species or unhealthy as determined by a tree care professional pursuant to §167.07. Low
priority trees are less than an 8-inch diameter at breast height for larger and medium species and less
than a 4-inch diameter at breast height for smaller trees species.
(F) Tree Preservation Requirements for Proposed Residential and Non -Residential Developments.
(1) Residential Developments. The percent minimum canopy in residential developments shall be located
in areas that have the least possibility of impact as public infrastructure and proposed utilities are
installed and homes built. The intent is to leave undisturbed as many existing trees as possible for the
use and enjoyment of prospective lot owners. Residential developments requesting tree removal
below the percent minimum canopy requirement may choose either residential on -site mitigation, or
to contribute to the Tree Escrow Account as set forth in §167.04(J)(4)(a). Trees in existing and not to be
vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward the percent minimum canopy requirement, and
such proposed utilities shall be routed to avoid existing canopy and shall count toward the percent
minimum canopy requirement.
(2) Nonresidential Developments. Two (2) options are available for establishing a tree preservation plan for
the development of nonresidential developments. The Urban Forester shall recommend to the
Planning Commission the option that will potentially preserve the largest amount of high priority
canopy based upon the tree preservation criteria set forth in §167.04(B) above.
(a) Preservation Plan for Entire Development. The developer may choose to preserve the percent
minimum canopy required for the entire development. With this option, the preserved canopy
shall be located in areas that will not be impacted by future development of the individual lots.
Canopy to be preserved shall be noted on the final plat, and shall be protected as set forth in
§167.04(L) below. Should the entire percent minimum canopy requirement for the site be so
protected, the preserved canopy shall be placed in a tree preservation easement and the final
plat shall include a statement that the individual lots, as represented thereon, shall not require
separate tree preservation plans.
(b) Preservation Plan for Infrastructure Only. The developer, in consultation with city staff, shall
delineate the area required for the construction of the infrastructure and improvements for the
development. This area should include street rights -of -way, and utility and drainage easements.
Proposed lot lines, streets, and easements shall be located to avoid placing a disproportionate
percentage of existing canopy in any one (1) proposed lot. This option shall not allow the removal
of trees during the grading of individual lots, unless shown by the developer to be essential to the
project's engineering design. The developer will be required to compensate for the canopy
removed from defined individual lots by making the appropriate payment into the Tree Escrow
Account. On all other areas of the development, the developer shall protect the existing canopy
during the construction phase in accordance with §167.05 below. The final plat shall include a
statement that the individual lots shall require separate tree preservation plans.
(3) Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. Individual parcels or lots located within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay
District boundary shall submit a tree preservation plan or an abbreviated tree preservation plan as set
forth in §167.04(H)(3) indicating the location of the structure and the preservation of the minimum
tree canopy requirement.
Page 4 of 11
(4) Developers have the option of creating cluster development, such as a Planned Zoning District, which
would encourage more open space and tree preservation. In this pattern of development, the trees
preserved or open space on each lot can be transferred to a larger Tree Preservation Easement instead
of individual lots required to meet minimum percent requirements. The Tree Preservation Easements
shall be clearly depicted on easement plats or final plats.
(G) Initial Review.
(1) Meeting with the Urban Forester. It is strongly recommended that prospective applicants meet with
the Urban Forester for an initial review of the proposed tree preservation plan for the site prior to
submitting a proposed development to the city. During the initial review, the Urban Forester shall
make recommendations to ensure the proposed subdivision or development complies with the
requirements of this chapter. These recommendations shall be nonbinding. However, applicants
proceed at the risk of higher costs and longer approval times due to changes required by a
noncompliant submittal should they choose not to have the initial review or to disregard the
recommendations of the Urban Forester.
(2) Confirmation. The Urban Forester shall document whether the applicant participated in the initial
review meeting in the Tree Preservation and Protection staff report given to applicants going through
the development review process. If the applicant chooses to attend an initial review meeting, the staff
report shall also document any recommendations made. The Urban Forester shall ensure that a copy of
the report or email becomes part of the permanent file for the project.
(H) Submittal of Plans. Applicants should bear in mind that all plans will be evaluated according to the tree
preservation criteria and percent minimum canopy requirements as set forth under §167.04(B) and (C).
(1) Tree Preservation Plan. On sites with existing tree canopy, the applicant shall conduct a tree
preservation analysis to determine the approximate age, health, size and species distribution of the
trees, noting each on a tree preservation plan, and clearly showing the locations and types of all
natural features on a site, including features 100 feet beyond the property lines. The tree preservation
plan shall also specifically depict the applicable preservation priority level for each tree or group of
trees on the site. The plan should include, but not be limited to, delineation of the following features as
they exist on the site:
(a) The existing topography of the site highlighting slopes of 15% or greater, and indicating the
natural drainage patterns;
(b) The property line boundaries of the site;
(c) Soils identified according to the Unified Soil Classification System;
(d) Any significant trees, as defined in the City of Fayetteville's Tree Preservation, Protection and
Landscape Manual, existing on the site, and the location of trunks, spread of the canopy, species,
diameter at breast height (DBH), and the overall health of each significant tree;
(e) Groupings of trees, delineating the edges of the overall canopy, noting the predominate species,
average height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and general health of the trees.
(f) All existing utilities and utility easements;
(g) All features, including trees, buildings, perennial and intermittent streams and creeks that exist
on the site or within 100 feet of the limits of disturbance;
(h) Floodplains and floodways on the site;
(i) All existing rights -of -way within and surrounding the project site, including any designated trails
or bike paths; and,
(j) Any other factors that may impact the design of the site.
Page 5 of 11
(2) Additional Tree Preservation Plan Content. The applicant shall indicate all proposed site improvements,
and delineate in the tree preservation plan the trees to be retained on -site, and the measures to be
implemented for their protection. These measures shall include, but need not be limited to, fencing,
limits of root pruning, as well as restrictions on traffic and material storage. The plan shall also clearly
depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all areas to be graded both on and off -site, as well as the
proposed location of utilities. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation,
Protection and Landscape Manual for details, examples and specific checklists. Examples can be
provided upon request to the Urban Forester.
(3) Abbreviated Tree Preservation Plan. Applicants requesting approval of development projects for
between 6,001 to 10,000 square feet of impervious area that require building permits, grading, or
parking lot permits, but that do not fall under the requirements for developments required to go
through the development review process of Technical Plat Review Committee, Subdivision Committee
and Planning Commission, shall prepare and submit an abbreviated tree preservation plan. The
information for an abbreviated tree preservation plan may be combined with the site plan, plat
drawing, or grading plan. The applicant is expected to show the general location of all existing groups
of trees, individual significant trees, and to clearly depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all
areas to be graded, both on and off -site, as well as the proposed location of utilities. Protective
measures such as fencing, limits of root pruning, restriction on traffic and materials storage shall be
depicted on the plan. A preliminary site visit with the Urban Forester is highly recommended before
applying for any of the above -mentioned permits. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual for details, and specific checklists. Applicants
submitting abbreviated tree preservation plans shall not be required to submit an analysis report, nor
shall they be required to hire architects, engineers, or landscape architects to prepare the abbreviated
tree preservation plan.
(4) Analysis Report. The applicant shall submit an analysis report when minimum percent canopy is not
met. The report shall detail the design approaches used to minimize damage to or removal of existing
canopy that were considered in arriving at the proposed design. Written justification shall be presented
as to why individual trees or canopy must be removed. The report shall also detail proposed on -site
mitigation options or off -site alternatives, as detailed below.
(5) Grading and Utility Plans. All subsequent grading and utility plans shall depict Tree Preservation Areas,
preserved trees, and the physical limits of all protective measures on site required during construction.
(6) Submittal Requirements. The applicant shall submit a tree preservation plan. Development plans with
removal of tree canopy below percent minimum canopy shall submit an analysis report to the Urban
Forester, concurrently with their tree preservation plan. Applicants submitting abbreviated tree
preservation plans shall not be required to submit analysis report.
(7) Tree Preservation Easements. The City of Fayetteville shall encourage the use of Tree Preservation
Easements for the added protection of trees preserved to meet percent minimum canopy
requirements or trees planted, in those instances where such would be of mutual benefit to the
applicant and the City of Fayetteville.
(1) Request for On -Site Mitigation.
(1) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation. Requests to remove trees below the percent minimum
canopy requirement must be incorporated with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Plan Requirements. The tree preservation plan must graphically represent the species and location for
all existing trees on -site. It shall also include a chart clearly stating the following information:
(a) The number of trees requested for removal;
(b) The percentage below the percent minimum canopy requirement they represent; and
Page 6 of 11
(c) The species and number of trees to be planted based on the forestation requirements below.
(3) Planting Details and Notes. Planting details and notes shall be included on the tree preservation plan or
landscape plan as set forth in the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape
Manual.
(4) Forestation Requirements. The number and species of trees required for forestation shall be based
upon the quality of the canopy lost:
(a) High Priority Canopy. When removing high priority canopy below the percent minimum canopy
required, the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of two hundred
(200), 2-inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(b) Low Priority Canopy. When removing low priority canopy below the percent minimum required,
the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of one hundred (100), 2-
inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(5) Base Density. Compensating for the environmental damage caused by removing tree canopy shall be
accomplished by forestation on a per acre basis. The base density formula used above is based on 2-
inch caliper trees. However, the urban forester may approve the use of trees with less than 2-inch
caliper for the planting of smaller tree species required by spatial constraints on the site. In such cases,
the number of trees to be planted may be adjusted in accordance with the species table to be found in
the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual.
(6) Preferred Species. All trees to be planted shall be species native to the Ozark region or native cultivars,
when available, or selected from the list of preferred tree species set forth in the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection and Landscape Manual. Species selection shall be based upon the
amount of space available for proper growth on the site, and must be approved by the Urban Forester.
(7) Placement of Trees. The applicant is expected to plant trees in locations on the site where the
environmental benefits of canopy cover are most likely to offset the impact of development. Trees
shall not be placed within utility easements, or in other locations where their future protection cannot
be assured.
(8) Residential On -Site Mitigation. Applicants requesting on -site mitigation for residential developments
shall comply with all the provisions of §167.04(I), as well as the following:
(a) The applicant's mitigation plan shall meet or exceed the required number of mitigation trees
based on the forestation requirements as set forth at §167.04(I)(4).
(b) All plans requesting residential on -site mitigation shall include a binding three (3) year
maintenance and monitoring plan, which shall hold the applicant responsible for the health of all
planted trees.
(i) Approval of a plan requesting residential on -site mitigation shall be contingent upon the
applicant depositing with the city an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of materials and labor for all trees at the time of planting. The irrevocable
letter of credit must cover the entire three (3) year maintenance and monitoring period.
Applicant shall submit cost estimates to the Urban Forester for approval.
(ii) Upon completion of the three (3) year landscape establishment period, the Urban Forester
shall inspect the site and determine whether 90% of the trees are healthy and have a
reasonable chance of surviving to maturity. Upon such a finding, the city shall release the
letter of credit.
(iii) In the absence of such a finding, the applicant shall be notified to replace any unhealthy or
dead trees, or take other appropriate action as approved by the Urban Forester. If the
Page 7 of 11
applicant does not take remedial steps to bring the property into compliance, the city shall
use the necessary moneys from the landscape establishment guarantee to do so.
(iv) In the event trees are injured or destroyed by natural disasters, including but not limited
to, tornadoes, straight-line winds, ice storms, fire, floods, hail, or lightning strikes, or
through the independent actions of third parties, the applicant shall be relieved of the
responsibility of replanting the tree or trees so affected.
(c) Developers requesting mitigation trees be planted along the street right-of-way of residential
developments shall submit a landscape plan that complies with the standards outlined in the City
of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual in order to ensure that new
trees planted are of the highest quality, require low maintenance, and do not interfere with
public safety. The species of trees to be planted shall be selected from the approved street tree
species list, or be otherwise specifically approved by the Urban Forester. The applicant's
mitigation plan for planting street trees shall describe in detail the method for tracking the
development of the individual lots, which shall best ensure that required number and species of
mitigation trees are planted.
(9) Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives (Green Roofs or Green Facades).
(a) Intent. The intent is to allow previously developed sites with at least 50% existing impervious
area and limited space for planting trees to use on -site mitigation alternatives to meet the
mitigation requirements and still contribute beneficial plant materials that provide positive
ecosystem services.
(b) Applicability. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives shall only be allowed as alternatives to planting
trees in form -based zoning districts that allow for mixed -use and do not have a building area
maximum requirement. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives may not be utilized on sites that have
adequate space to meet landscape requirements.
(c) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives. Requests for on -site alternatives must be
incorporated and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(d) Intensive Green Roof. A green roof with 6 inches or great soil medium that can sustain plant
species with deeper root systems.
(e) Extensive Green Roof. A green roof with 2 to 5 inches of soil medium that can sustain plant
species with shallow root systems.
(f) Green Fagade. A green fagade is created by growing climbing plants up and across the fagade of a
building, either from plants grown directly in the ground or a large container of at least 12 inches
of soil medium. Plants can attach directly to the building or be supported with a 12-inch by 12-
inch trellis system connected to the building.
(g) Mitigation Alternative Calculations. The applicant's plan to install an extensive green roof,
intensive green roof, and green fagade in lieu of a mitigation tree shall be based from square
footage of tree canopy.
(i) The calculation for an extensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 2.5 square feet of extensive green roof.
(ii) The calculation for an intensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 1.4 square feet of intensive green roof.
(iii) The calculation for a green fagade shall be done based from a ratio of 1 square foot of tree
canopy to 2.5 square feet of green facade.
(J) Request for Off -Site Alternatives.
Page 8 of 11
(1) Timing of Request for Off -Site Alternatives. Requests for off -site alternatives must be incorporated in,
and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Off -Site Preservation. The applicant may seek approval of the Urban Forester to preserve an equal or
greater amount of canopy cover at a site within the city limits.
(3) Off -Site Forestation.
(a) If off -site preservation cannot be achieved, the applicant may seek approval from the Urban
Forester to plant the required number of trees on another site owned by the applicant and
located within the city limits. A tree preservation easement must be conveyed concurrently with
or prior to submission of a final plat by the applicant to the city to protect any off -site
preservation or forestation and the legal description of the tree preservation easement shall also
appear on the final plat.
(b) An applicant may plant and maintain mitigation trees needed for the applicant's development as
to fulfill the obligation set forth in Chapter 167, Tree Preservation and Protection, in a nearby city
park or public right-of-way if expressly approved by City Council resolution. The City Council shall
seek advice from the Urban Forester, Parks and Recreation Department staff and citizens about
the advisability of forestation of the nearby city park and may apply express conditions including
requiring irrigation to be installed and regular maintenance to be performed by the applicant.
(4) Tree Escrow Account. Tree preservation on -site is always the preferred option, with on -site mitigation,
off -site preservation, off -site forestation, and on -site mitigation alternatives to be considered in
descending order only if the more preferred option cannot be fully achieved. If none of these options
can completely fulfill a developer's obligation under this Tree Preservation and Protection Chapter, the
developer shall pay into the City Tree Escrow Account $250.00 for each tree required to meet the Base
Density requirements which fairly represents the costs of material and labor to plant a tree. The
developer shall also pay into the Tree Escrow Fund $425.00 as three (3) years of maintenance costs to
ensure each tree survives for that period of time. Tree planting and maintenance costs should be
reviewed at least every four (4) years to ensure it remains the fair market costs for tree planting and
maintenance for three (3) years.
(a) Residential developments which cannot achieve the base density tree requirements through
preservation or mitigation shall contribute to the Tree Escrow Account. The city shall use the
money paid into the Tree Escrow Account to plant trees within the development along rights -of -
way, detention ponds, common areas or other areas where trees can be protected and have a
high probability of survival to a mature tree. This shall be accomplished once the development is
built out or as approved by the Urban Forester.
(b) Money contributed in lieu of on -site mitigation or off -site forestation shall be paid prior to
issuance of a building permit on all commercial, industrial, or multi -family residential buildings
and prior to final plat acceptance for all residential and non-residential subdivisions.
(c) Money contributed under this section:
(i) May be used for canopy mitigation, including planting site identification, tree acquisition,
planting, and maintenance, utilizing either city staff or contract labor;
(ii) Shall not revert to the general fund for ongoing operations.
(d) If it is not possible to plant trees within the development, planting locations will be sought in
appropriate sites within a 1 mile radius of where the original project is located, but if this cannot
be achieved, the moneys shall be used to plant the trees in the park quadrant in which the
development took place, or pursuant to §167.04(J)(2) and (3). Data extracted from the urban
forest analysis should be consulted when identifying appropriate locations to plant escrow
funded trees.

(g) Notice of the right to a refund, including the amount of the refund and the procedure for
applying for and receiving the refund, shall be sent or served in writing to the applicant no later
than thirty (30) days after the date which the refund becomes due. The sending by regular mail of
the notices to the applicant shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirement of notice.
(h) The refund shall be made on a pro rata basis, and shall be paid in full no later than ninety (90)
days after the date certain upon which the refund becomes due.
(i) At the time of the contribution to the Tree Escrow Account, the Urban Forester shall provide the
applicant with written notice of those circumstances under which refunds of such fees will be
made. Failure to deliver such written notice shall not invalidate any contribution to the Tree
Escrow Account under this ordinance.
(K) Tree Preservation Plan Review Form. The Urban Forester shall use a standardized form for all
recommendations or administrative determinations made regarding an applicant's tree preservation plan.
(1) The form shall clearly indicate whether the Urban Forester is making a final administrative
determination, or a recommendation to the Planning Commission or City Council.
(2) The form shall also clearly indicate the applicant's plan is "APPROVED," "DISAPPROVED," or
"CONDITIONALLY APPROVED," and explain the reasoning therefore.
(3) A statement shall appear on the form explaining the process by which a final administrative
determination may be appealed in accordance with Chapter 155 of the Unified Development Code.
(4) The Urban Forester shall sign and date the form, and ensure that a copy becomes part of the
permanent file for the project.
(L) Continuing Preservation and Protection Under Approved Tree Preservation Plans and Tree Preservation
Easements.
(1) Large scale developments, large scale site improvements, and commercial preliminary plats are
required to dedicate a tree preservation easement, if any existing tree are to be preserved. The tree
preservation easement shall be the size of the minimum canopy preservation requirement, if possible.
If the minimum tree preservation canopy is not available, the applicant will not be required to dedicate
the minimum canopy preservation. The applicant will have to dedicate a tree preservation easement
that is agreed upon with The Urban Forester. In order to ensure that an applicant's heirs, successors,
assigns, or any subsequent purchasers of the subject property are put on notice as to the existence and
extent of approved tree preservation easements which shall be clearly depicted and noted on the
easement plats for large scale developments, large scale site improvements, commercial final plats,
and any plats with a tree preservation easement. This shall be accompanied by a narrative statement
describing the nature of the protection afforded, and bearing the signature of the Urban Forester. If it
is impractical to include the actual depiction of the canopy in a tree preservation easement on the
easement plat, or final plat itself, a note cross referencing an accompanying document shall suffice.
(2) The geographic extent and location of tree preservation easements, once recorded, may only be
modified, or abolished with the express approval of the City Council. Applicants requesting such action
shall bear the burden of proving to the City Council's satisfaction that such modification or abolition is
in the best interest of the City of Fayetteville. Such requests shall be submitted to the urban forester,
who shall ask the City Clerk to place it on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Council
meeting.
Page 10 of 11
(3) Property owners wishing to remove diseased or dead trees from within a recorded tree preservation
easement shall seek prior approval from the Urban Forester, who shall determine if such removal is
consistent with sound arboricultural and horticultural practices, as well as the intent of this chapter.
Any tree so removed shall be replaced with a tree of like or similar species, unless the Urban Forester
determines that natural replacements of sufficient health and vigor are already present in the tree
preservation easement.

CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO
ARKANSAS
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Britin Bostick, Long Range Planning/Special Projects Manager
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2024
SUBJECT: ADM-2024-0039: Administrative Item (Amend UDC Chapter 161 —
Zoning Regulations): Submitted by CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE STAFF.
The request is an amendment to UDC Chapter 161 to create a new zoning
district section 161.36 called Urban Corridor and set zoning regulations for
the new district including permitted and conditional uses, lot dimensional
standards, setbacks, and building height. Additionally, amendments are
proposed to section 160.01 — Establishment of Districts to add the new
district, section 163.11 — Sexually Oriented Business to allow sexually
oriented businesses as a conditional use, section 164.25 — Tandem Lot
Development to establish building setbacks for tandem lots, section 167.04
— Tree Preservation and Protection During Development to establish a
minimum canopy requirement, and chapter 174 — Signs to establish sign
regulations for the new zoning district.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding ADM-2024-0039 to the City Council with a recommendation of
approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to forward ADM-2024-0039 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval."
BACKGROUND:
Following delivery of the Fayetteville Housing Assessment in October 2023, the Fayetteville City
Council passed Resolution 278-23 on December 5, 2023 affirming their support for the 71 B
Corridor Regulating Plan and Work Program. The resolution referenced prior actions to further
the vision captured in the 71 B Corridor Plan, including:
transfer of ownership of the 71 B right-of-way from the Arkansas Department of
Transportation to the City of Fayetteville,
authorization of planning work for the reconstruction of the streetscape, and
streetscape improvements underway or complete for portions of the 71 B corridor.
On approval of Resolution 278-23, City of Fayetteville Planning staff began project work to study
and ultimately make a recommendation to the City Council on a rezoning of the 71 B Corridor to
allow for the construction of housing, as recommended by the 2023 Housing Assessment. In May
and June of this year planning staff facilitated a series of seven public meetings and exhibits that
communicated the intent of a proposed rezoning and sought input on aspects of zoning that would
be preferred, including permitted and disallowed uses, building height, setbacks, and tree
protection. Approximately 100 people attended these in -person events, with approximately 75
Mailing Address:

Fayetteville, AR 72701
people taking the in -person survey. An online survey on the city's Speak Up survey platform was
available in the month of June, with 799 respondents. Planning staff reviewed those comments
as well as public comments made in public hearings on development applications at both Planning
Commission and City Council meetings over the course of the past year and compared the input
to the city's existing zoning districts. Ultimately the input received did not entirely align with an
existing zoning district, and staff began working on a draft of a new zoning district that responded
more directly to the public input received.
Planning staff presented public input to the Planning Commission at their annual retreat held on
June 8, 2024 and solicited feedback from the commissioners on whether to approach a proposed
rezoning using existing zoning district(s) or with a new zoning district created in response to the
feedback received. Commissioners expressed an interest in evaluating a new zoning district in
addition to options using existing zoning districts. Staff subsequently brought three separate draft
proposals to the Planning Commission in their Long Range Planning Committee meetings in the
months of June and July: one that proposed rezoning the parcels in the project study area to
Urban Thoroughfare (UT) only, one that proposed rezoning the parcels in the project study area
to a combination of UT and Main Street Center (MSC) zoning, with the MSC zoning applied at or
near major intersections, and one that proposed a new zoning district, which began as "Urban
General" but has been renamed to "Urban Corridor" in the course of the project. Downtown
General (DG) zoning was also considered as it was proposed at the in -person meetings and in
the online survey, however, as staff evaluated the various zoning districts in consideration side
by side, the DG zoning district would have provided the most restrictive reduction in permitted
uses, with several existing uses not being permitted or conditional in the DG zoning district.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this amendment is to establish a new zoning district titled "Urban Corridor" (UC).
Through discussion with the Planning Commission in June and July staff developed UC in
response to community input that leaned toward reducing instances of vehicle -oriented uses and
site design in favor of zoning that supports walkable urban environments and that permits a mix
of housing and commercial uses. The UC zoning district is intended to acknowledge the legacy
of highway -oriented development and commercial -only zoning prominent along N. College Ave.
and S. School Ave. and bridge existing zoning districts (primarily the UT and DG zoning districts)
by adding higher -density housing types as permitted uses and requiring approval of a Conditional
Use Permit for many vehicle -oriented uses rather than excluding them entirely. One goal for the
corridor is facilitating a transit -supportive minimum density of 10 dwelling units per acre. As a
result, single and two-family dwellings require a Conditional Use Permit as those housing types
are typically constructed at a lower density than a goal transit -supportive minimum density for the
corridor of 10 dwelling units per acre.
A site design advantage to the proposed UC zoning district is that no minimum lot size or lot width
is proposed, meaning lots would not have a zoning requirement to have street frontage, although
street frontage may be required for utility connections depending on the lot, site, and utility
configuration. The zoning district is not proposed to have a front setback, usually associated with
large front parking lots and buildings set back from the street. Instead a 0'-30' front build -to zone
is proposed, meaning future buildings would need to be located within the front 30' of the property
where it abuts a public right-of-way. Siting buildings closer to the street creates shorter
connections to building entrances for cyclists and pedestrians and creates a more urban
streetscape when fully built out. Buildings would need to be built across a minimum of 50% of the
lot frontage but could still utilize up to half of the frontage for vehicle circulation and site design
elements. No side or rear setbacks are proposed unless the property is contiguous to a single-
family residential zoning district, in which case the setback would be 15 feet. The building height
maximum is proposed to be 8 stories. The proposed UC zoning district is attached, as well as a
detailed listing of permitted uses, uses that would require approval of a Conditional Use Permit,
and uses that would not be permitted.
With the addition of a new zoning district comes amendments to other sections of the Unified
Development Code (UDC). In this instance amendments are also needed to:
• Section 160.01 — Establishment of Zoning Districts to add UC to the list of zoning districts.
• Section 163.11 — Sexually Oriented Business to allow sexually oriented businesses in the
UC zoning district as a conditional use.
• Section 164.25 — Tandem Lot Development to establish building setbacks of 5 feet from
all property lines for tandem lots, the same as for the mixed use zoning districts listed in
Section 164.25(B)(5)(e).
• Section 167.04 — Tree Preservation and Protection During Development to establish a
minimum canopy requirement for the UC zoning district in Section 167.04(C) Table 1. This
is proposed to be 20%, similar to some of the higher -intensity residential zoning districts
and lower intensity commercial districts, and in acknowledgement of public input favoring
tree canopy and the large amount of existing wooded hillside and intact tree canopy area
along portions of the corridor.
• Chapter 174 — Signs to establish sign regulations for the new zoning district:
0 174.03(C) — Exemptions to add UC to the table of signs in the row permitted to be
illuminated and 32" in area.
0 174.10(A)(4), 174.10(B)(2)(f), 174.10(C)(3), and 174.10(D)(2) to add the UC
zoning district to the list of commercial and mixed use zoning districts to define
which sign regulations are applicable for the new district.

tree or group of trees.
Page 1 of 11
(4) The impact of the reduction in tree cover on adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood and
the property on which the tree or group of trees is located.
(5) Whether alternative construction methods have been proposed to reduce the impact of development
on existing trees.
(6) Whether the size or shape of the lot reduces the flexibility of the design.
(7) The general health and condition of the tree or group of trees, or the presence of any disease, injury,
or hazard.
(8) The placement of the tree or group of trees in relation to utilities, structures, and the use of the
property.
(9) The need to remove the tree or group of trees for the purpose of installing, repairing, replacing, or
maintaining essential public utilities.
(10) Whether proposed roads and proposed utilities are designed in relation to the existing topography,
and routed, where possible, to avoid damage to existing canopy.
(11) Construction requirements of on -site and off -site drainage.
(12) The effects of proposed on -site mitigation or off -site alternatives.
(13) The effect other chapters of the Unified Development Code, or city policies have on the development
design.
(14) The extent to which development of the site and the enforcement of this chapter are impacted by
state and federal regulations.
(15) The impact a substantial modification or rejection of the application would have on the applicant.
*Note —The above items are not presented in any particular order of importance. The weight each is given will
depend in large part on the individual characteristics of each project.
(C) Canopy Area. In all proposed developments that are required to submit a tree preservation plan or
abbreviated tree preservation plan, trees shall be preserved as outlined in Table 1 under Percent Minimum
Canopy, unless the applicant has been approved for on -site mitigation or off -site alternatives as set forth in
§167.04(I) and (J) below. The square foot percentage of canopy area required for preservation in new
development is based on the total area of the property for which the applicant is seeking approval, less the
right-of-way and park land dedications. An applicant shall not be required to plant trees in order to reach the
percent minimum canopy requirement on land where less than the minimum exists prior to development.

minimum canopy requirements increased by 5% to a total requirement of either 30% or 25%.
(D) Prior Tree Removal.
(1) If trees have been removed below the required percent minimum canopy within the five (5) years
preceding application for a development, the site must be forested to meet the Percent Minimum
Canopy requirements set forth in Table 1, plus an additional 10% of the total area of the property for
which the applicant is seeking approval, less the right-of-way and park land dedications. The number of
trees required to be planted shall be calculated using the base density for high priority trees.
(2) Waiver. If an applicant is able to demonstrate to the Planning Commission's satisfaction that the trees
were removed for a bona fide agricultural purpose, and not with the intent to thwart enforcement of
this chapter, the additional 10% reforestation requirement shall be waived.
(E) Tree Preservation Priorities.
(1) Percent Minimum Canopy. Proposed designs must meet the percent minimum canopy requirements
for the particular zoning designation, emphasizing the preservation and protection of high priority
trees on the site. Trees in existing and not to be vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward
the percent minimum canopy requirement and such utilities shall be routed, wherever possible, to
avoid existing canopy.
Page 3 of 11
(2) Existing Natural Features. Each design shall consider the existing natural features of the site, the
preservation priorities for the trees, and the impact their proposed removal may have both on and off -
site.
(3) Priority Trees. The preservation and protection of high priority trees shall be enforced most stringently
to meet the minimum percentage of canopy preservation. High priority trees are alive, healthy, greater
than or equal to an 8-inch diameter at breast height for large and medium species of trees. High
priority for small species of trees is greater than or equal to a 4-inch diameter. Low priority trees are
invasive species or unhealthy as determined by a tree care professional pursuant to §167.07. Low
priority trees are less than an 8-inch diameter at breast height for larger and medium species and less
than a 4-inch diameter at breast height for smaller trees species.
(F) Tree Preservation Requirements for Proposed Residential and Non -Residential Developments.
(1) Residential Developments. The percent minimum canopy in residential developments shall be located
in areas that have the least possibility of impact as public infrastructure and proposed utilities are
installed and homes built. The intent is to leave undisturbed as many existing trees as possible for the
use and enjoyment of prospective lot owners. Residential developments requesting tree removal
below the percent minimum canopy requirement may choose either residential on -site mitigation, or
to contribute to the Tree Escrow Account as set forth in §167.04(J)(4)(a). Trees in existing and not to be
vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward the percent minimum canopy requirement, and
such proposed utilities shall be routed to avoid existing canopy and shall count toward the percent
minimum canopy requirement.
(2) Nonresidential Developments. Two (2) options are available for establishing a tree preservation plan for
the development of nonresidential developments. The Urban Forester shall recommend to the
Planning Commission the option that will potentially preserve the largest amount of high priority
canopy based upon the tree preservation criteria set forth in §167.04(B) above.
(a) Preservation Plan for Entire Development. The developer may choose to preserve the percent
minimum canopy required for the entire development. With this option, the preserved canopy
shall be located in areas that will not be impacted by future development of the individual lots.
Canopy to be preserved shall be noted on the final plat, and shall be protected as set forth in
§167.04(L) below. Should the entire percent minimum canopy requirement for the site be so
protected, the preserved canopy shall be placed in a tree preservation easement and the final
plat shall include a statement that the individual lots, as represented thereon, shall not require
separate tree preservation plans.
(b) Preservation Plan for Infrastructure Only. The developer, in consultation with city staff, shall
delineate the area required for the construction of the infrastructure and improvements for the
development. This area should include street rights -of -way, and utility and drainage easements.
Proposed lot lines, streets, and easements shall be located to avoid placing a disproportionate
percentage of existing canopy in any one (1) proposed lot. This option shall not allow the removal
of trees during the grading of individual lots, unless shown by the developer to be essential to the
project's engineering design. The developer will be required to compensate for the canopy
removed from defined individual lots by making the appropriate payment into the Tree Escrow
Account. On all other areas of the development, the developer shall protect the existing canopy
during the construction phase in accordance with §167.05 below. The final plat shall include a
statement that the individual lots shall require separate tree preservation plans.
(3) Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. Individual parcels or lots located within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay
District boundary shall submit a tree preservation plan or an abbreviated tree preservation plan as set
forth in §167.04(H)(3) indicating the location of the structure and the preservation of the minimum
tree canopy requirement.
Page 4 of 11
(4) Developers have the option of creating cluster development, such as a Planned Zoning District, which
would encourage more open space and tree preservation. In this pattern of development, the trees
preserved or open space on each lot can be transferred to a larger Tree Preservation Easement instead
of individual lots required to meet minimum percent requirements. The Tree Preservation Easements
shall be clearly depicted on easement plats or final plats.
(G) Initial Review.
(1) Meeting with the Urban Forester. It is strongly recommended that prospective applicants meet with
the Urban Forester for an initial review of the proposed tree preservation plan for the site prior to
submitting a proposed development to the city. During the initial review, the Urban Forester shall
make recommendations to ensure the proposed subdivision or development complies with the
requirements of this chapter. These recommendations shall be nonbinding. However, applicants
proceed at the risk of higher costs and longer approval times due to changes required by a
noncompliant submittal should they choose not to have the initial review or to disregard the
recommendations of the Urban Forester.
(2) Confirmation. The Urban Forester shall document whether the applicant participated in the initial
review meeting in the Tree Preservation and Protection staff report given to applicants going through
the development review process. If the applicant chooses to attend an initial review meeting, the staff
report shall also document any recommendations made. The Urban Forester shall ensure that a copy of
the report or email becomes part of the permanent file for the project.
(H) Submittal of Plans. Applicants should bear in mind that all plans will be evaluated according to the tree
preservation criteria and percent minimum canopy requirements as set forth under §167.04(B) and (C).
(1) Tree Preservation Plan. On sites with existing tree canopy, the applicant shall conduct a tree
preservation analysis to determine the approximate age, health, size and species distribution of the
trees, noting each on a tree preservation plan, and clearly showing the locations and types of all
natural features on a site, including features 100 feet beyond the property lines. The tree preservation
plan shall also specifically depict the applicable preservation priority level for each tree or group of
trees on the site. The plan should include, but not be limited to, delineation of the following features as
they exist on the site:
(a) The existing topography of the site highlighting slopes of 15% or greater, and indicating the
natural drainage patterns;
(b) The property line boundaries of the site;
(c) Soils identified according to the Unified Soil Classification System;
(d) Any significant trees, as defined in the City of Fayetteville's Tree Preservation, Protection and
Landscape Manual, existing on the site, and the location of trunks, spread of the canopy, species,
diameter at breast height (DBH), and the overall health of each significant tree;
(e) Groupings of trees, delineating the edges of the overall canopy, noting the predominate species,
average height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and general health of the trees.
(f) All existing utilities and utility easements;
(g) All features, including trees, buildings, perennial and intermittent streams and creeks that exist
on the site or within 100 feet of the limits of disturbance;
(h) Floodplains and floodways on the site;
(i) All existing rights -of -way within and surrounding the project site, including any designated trails
or bike paths; and,
(j) Any other factors that may impact the design of the site.
Page 5 of 11
(2) Additional Tree Preservation Plan Content. The applicant shall indicate all proposed site improvements,
and delineate in the tree preservation plan the trees to be retained on -site, and the measures to be
implemented for their protection. These measures shall include, but need not be limited to, fencing,
limits of root pruning, as well as restrictions on traffic and material storage. The plan shall also clearly
depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all areas to be graded both on and off -site, as well as the
proposed location of utilities. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation,
Protection and Landscape Manual for details, examples and specific checklists. Examples can be
provided upon request to the Urban Forester.
(3) Abbreviated Tree Preservation Plan. Applicants requesting approval of development projects for
between 6,001 to 10,000 square feet of impervious area that require building permits, grading, or
parking lot permits, but that do not fall under the requirements for developments required to go
through the development review process of Technical Plat Review Committee, Subdivision Committee
and Planning Commission, shall prepare and submit an abbreviated tree preservation plan. The
information for an abbreviated tree preservation plan may be combined with the site plan, plat
drawing, or grading plan. The applicant is expected to show the general location of all existing groups
of trees, individual significant trees, and to clearly depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all
areas to be graded, both on and off -site, as well as the proposed location of utilities. Protective
measures such as fencing, limits of root pruning, restriction on traffic and materials storage shall be
depicted on the plan. A preliminary site visit with the Urban Forester is highly recommended before
applying for any of the above -mentioned permits. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual for details, and specific checklists. Applicants
submitting abbreviated tree preservation plans shall not be required to submit an analysis report, nor
shall they be required to hire architects, engineers, or landscape architects to prepare the abbreviated
tree preservation plan.
(4) Analysis Report. The applicant shall submit an analysis report when minimum percent canopy is not
met. The report shall detail the design approaches used to minimize damage to or removal of existing
canopy that were considered in arriving at the proposed design. Written justification shall be presented
as to why individual trees or canopy must be removed. The report shall also detail proposed on -site
mitigation options or off -site alternatives, as detailed below.
(5) Grading and Utility Plans. All subsequent grading and utility plans shall depict Tree Preservation Areas,
preserved trees, and the physical limits of all protective measures on site required during construction.
(6) Submittal Requirements. The applicant shall submit a tree preservation plan. Development plans with
removal of tree canopy below percent minimum canopy shall submit an analysis report to the Urban
Forester, concurrently with their tree preservation plan. Applicants submitting abbreviated tree
preservation plans shall not be required to submit analysis report.
(7) Tree Preservation Easements. The City of Fayetteville shall encourage the use of Tree Preservation
Easements for the added protection of trees preserved to meet percent minimum canopy
requirements or trees planted, in those instances where such would be of mutual benefit to the
applicant and the City of Fayetteville.
(1) Request for On -Site Mitigation.
(1) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation. Requests to remove trees below the percent minimum
canopy requirement must be incorporated with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Plan Requirements. The tree preservation plan must graphically represent the species and location for
all existing trees on -site. It shall also include a chart clearly stating the following information:
(a) The number of trees requested for removal;
(b) The percentage below the percent minimum canopy requirement they represent; and
Page 6 of 11
(c) The species and number of trees to be planted based on the forestation requirements below.
(3) Planting Details and Notes. Planting details and notes shall be included on the tree preservation plan or
landscape plan as set forth in the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape
Manual.
(4) Forestation Requirements. The number and species of trees required for forestation shall be based
upon the quality of the canopy lost:
(a) High Priority Canopy. When removing high priority canopy below the percent minimum canopy
required, the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of two hundred
(200), 2-inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(b) Low Priority Canopy. When removing low priority canopy below the percent minimum required,
the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of one hundred (100), 2-
inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(5) Base Density. Compensating for the environmental damage caused by removing tree canopy shall be
accomplished by forestation on a per acre basis. The base density formula used above is based on 2-
inch caliper trees. However, the urban forester may approve the use of trees with less than 2-inch
caliper for the planting of smaller tree species required by spatial constraints on the site. In such cases,
the number of trees to be planted may be adjusted in accordance with the species table to be found in
the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual.
(6) Preferred Species. All trees to be planted shall be species native to the Ozark region or native cultivars,
when available, or selected from the list of preferred tree species set forth in the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection and Landscape Manual. Species selection shall be based upon the
amount of space available for proper growth on the site, and must be approved by the Urban Forester.
(7) Placement of Trees. The applicant is expected to plant trees in locations on the site where the
environmental benefits of canopy cover are most likely to offset the impact of development. Trees
shall not be placed within utility easements, or in other locations where their future protection cannot
be assured.
(8) Residential On -Site Mitigation. Applicants requesting on -site mitigation for residential developments
shall comply with all the provisions of §167.04(I), as well as the following:
(a) The applicant's mitigation plan shall meet or exceed the required number of mitigation trees
based on the forestation requirements as set forth at §167.04(I)(4).
(b) All plans requesting residential on -site mitigation shall include a binding three (3) year
maintenance and monitoring plan, which shall hold the applicant responsible for the health of all
planted trees.
(i) Approval of a plan requesting residential on -site mitigation shall be contingent upon the
applicant depositing with the city an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of materials and labor for all trees at the time of planting. The irrevocable
letter of credit must cover the entire three (3) year maintenance and monitoring period.
Applicant shall submit cost estimates to the Urban Forester for approval.
(ii) Upon completion of the three (3) year landscape establishment period, the Urban Forester
shall inspect the site and determine whether 90% of the trees are healthy and have a
reasonable chance of surviving to maturity. Upon such a finding, the city shall release the
letter of credit.
(iii) In the absence of such a finding, the applicant shall be notified to replace any unhealthy or
dead trees, or take other appropriate action as approved by the Urban Forester. If the
Page 7 of 11
applicant does not take remedial steps to bring the property into compliance, the city shall
use the necessary moneys from the landscape establishment guarantee to do so.
(iv) In the event trees are injured or destroyed by natural disasters, including but not limited
to, tornadoes, straight-line winds, ice storms, fire, floods, hail, or lightning strikes, or
through the independent actions of third parties, the applicant shall be relieved of the
responsibility of replanting the tree or trees so affected.
(c) Developers requesting mitigation trees be planted along the street right-of-way of residential
developments shall submit a landscape plan that complies with the standards outlined in the City
of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual in order to ensure that new
trees planted are of the highest quality, require low maintenance, and do not interfere with
public safety. The species of trees to be planted shall be selected from the approved street tree
species list, or be otherwise specifically approved by the Urban Forester. The applicant's
mitigation plan for planting street trees shall describe in detail the method for tracking the
development of the individual lots, which shall best ensure that required number and species of
mitigation trees are planted.
(9) Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives (Green Roofs or Green Facades).
(a) Intent. The intent is to allow previously developed sites with at least 50% existing impervious
area and limited space for planting trees to use on -site mitigation alternatives to meet the
mitigation requirements and still contribute beneficial plant materials that provide positive
ecosystem services.
(b) Applicability. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives shall only be allowed as alternatives to planting
trees in form -based zoning districts that allow for mixed -use and do not have a building area
maximum requirement. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives may not be utilized on sites that have
adequate space to meet landscape requirements.
(c) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives. Requests for on -site alternatives must be
incorporated and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(d) Intensive Green Roof. A green roof with 6 inches or great soil medium that can sustain plant
species with deeper root systems.
(e) Extensive Green Roof. A green roof with 2 to 5 inches of soil medium that can sustain plant
species with shallow root systems.
(f) Green Fagade. A green fagade is created by growing climbing plants up and across the fagade of a
building, either from plants grown directly in the ground or a large container of at least 12 inches
of soil medium. Plants can attach directly to the building or be supported with a 12-inch by 12-
inch trellis system connected to the building.
(g) Mitigation Alternative Calculations. The applicant's plan to install an extensive green roof,
intensive green roof, and green fagade in lieu of a mitigation tree shall be based from square
footage of tree canopy.
(i) The calculation for an extensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 2.5 square feet of extensive green roof.
(ii) The calculation for an intensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 1.4 square feet of intensive green roof.
(iii) The calculation for a green fagade shall be done based from a ratio of 1 square foot of tree
canopy to 2.5 square feet of green facade.
(J) Request for Off -Site Alternatives.
Page 8 of 11
(1) Timing of Request for Off -Site Alternatives. Requests for off -site alternatives must be incorporated in,
and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Off -Site Preservation. The applicant may seek approval of the Urban Forester to preserve an equal or
greater amount of canopy cover at a site within the city limits.
(3) Off -Site Forestation.
(a) If off -site preservation cannot be achieved, the applicant may seek approval from the Urban
Forester to plant the required number of trees on another site owned by the applicant and
located within the city limits. A tree preservation easement must be conveyed concurrently with
or prior to submission of a final plat by the applicant to the city to protect any off -site
preservation or forestation and the legal description of the tree preservation easement shall also
appear on the final plat.
(b) An applicant may plant and maintain mitigation trees needed for the applicant's development as
to fulfill the obligation set forth in Chapter 167, Tree Preservation and Protection, in a nearby city
park or public right-of-way if expressly approved by City Council resolution. The City Council shall
seek advice from the Urban Forester, Parks and Recreation Department staff and citizens about
the advisability of forestation of the nearby city park and may apply express conditions including
requiring irrigation to be installed and regular maintenance to be performed by the applicant.
(4) Tree Escrow Account. Tree preservation on -site is always the preferred option, with on -site mitigation,
off -site preservation, off -site forestation, and on -site mitigation alternatives to be considered in
descending order only if the more preferred option cannot be fully achieved. If none of these options
can completely fulfill a developer's obligation under this Tree Preservation and Protection Chapter, the
developer shall pay into the City Tree Escrow Account $250.00 for each tree required to meet the Base
Density requirements which fairly represents the costs of material and labor to plant a tree. The
developer shall also pay into the Tree Escrow Fund $425.00 as three (3) years of maintenance costs to
ensure each tree survives for that period of time. Tree planting and maintenance costs should be
reviewed at least every four (4) years to ensure it remains the fair market costs for tree planting and
maintenance for three (3) years.
(a) Residential developments which cannot achieve the base density tree requirements through
preservation or mitigation shall contribute to the Tree Escrow Account. The city shall use the
money paid into the Tree Escrow Account to plant trees within the development along rights -of -
way, detention ponds, common areas or other areas where trees can be protected and have a
high probability of survival to a mature tree. This shall be accomplished once the development is
built out or as approved by the Urban Forester.
(b) Money contributed in lieu of on -site mitigation or off -site forestation shall be paid prior to
issuance of a building permit on all commercial, industrial, or multi -family residential buildings
and prior to final plat acceptance for all residential and non-residential subdivisions.
(c) Money contributed under this section:
(i) May be used for canopy mitigation, including planting site identification, tree acquisition,
planting, and maintenance, utilizing either city staff or contract labor;
(ii) Shall not revert to the general fund for ongoing operations.
(d) If it is not possible to plant trees within the development, planting locations will be sought in
appropriate sites within a 1 mile radius of where the original project is located, but if this cannot
be achieved, the moneys shall be used to plant the trees in the park quadrant in which the
development took place, or pursuant to §167.04(J)(2) and (3). Data extracted from the urban
forest analysis should be consulted when identifying appropriate locations to plant escrow
funded trees.
Page 9 of 11
(e) The City of Fayetteville shall refund the portion of the money contributed under this section,
including the accrued interest that has not been expended seven (7) years from the date of the
contribution. Interest shall be based on a 4% annual rate.
(f) Refunds shall be paid to the applicant who made the original contribution.
(g) Notice of the right to a refund, including the amount of the refund and the procedure for
applying for and receiving the refund, shall be sent or served in writing to the applicant no later
than thirty (30) days after the date which the refund becomes due. The sending by regular mail of
the notices to the applicant shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirement of notice.
(h) The refund shall be made on a pro rata basis, and shall be paid in full no later than ninety (90)
days after the date certain upon which the refund becomes due.
(i) At the time of the contribution to the Tree Escrow Account, the Urban Forester shall provide the
applicant with written notice of those circumstances under which refunds of such fees will be
made. Failure to deliver such written notice shall not invalidate any contribution to the Tree
Escrow Account under this ordinance.
(K) Tree Preservation Plan Review Form. The Urban Forester shall use a standardized form for all
recommendations or administrative determinations made regarding an applicant's tree preservation plan.
(1) The form shall clearly indicate whether the Urban Forester is making a final administrative
determination, or a recommendation to the Planning Commission or City Council.
(2) The form shall also clearly indicate the applicant's plan is "APPROVED," "DISAPPROVED," or
"CONDITIONALLY APPROVED," and explain the reasoning therefore.
(3) A statement shall appear on the form explaining the process by which a final administrative
determination may be appealed in accordance with Chapter 155 of the Unified Development Code.
(4) The Urban Forester shall sign and date the form, and ensure that a copy becomes part of the
permanent file for the project.
(L) Continuing Preservation and Protection Under Approved Tree Preservation Plans and Tree Preservation
Easements.
(1) Large scale developments, large scale site improvements, and commercial preliminary plats are
required to dedicate a tree preservation easement, if any existing tree are to be preserved. The tree
preservation easement shall be the size of the minimum canopy preservation requirement, if possible.
If the minimum tree preservation canopy is not available, the applicant will not be required to dedicate
the minimum canopy preservation. The applicant will have to dedicate a tree preservation easement
that is agreed upon with The Urban Forester. In order to ensure that an applicant's heirs, successors,
assigns, or any subsequent purchasers of the subject property are put on notice as to the existence and
extent of approved tree preservation easements which shall be clearly depicted and noted on the
easement plats for large scale developments, large scale site improvements, commercial final plats,
and any plats with a tree preservation easement. This shall be accompanied by a narrative statement
describing the nature of the protection afforded, and bearing the signature of the Urban Forester. If it
is impractical to include the actual depiction of the canopy in a tree preservation easement on the
easement plat, or final plat itself, a note cross referencing an accompanying document shall suffice.
(2) The geographic extent and location of tree preservation easements, once recorded, may only be
modified, or abolished with the express approval of the City Council. Applicants requesting such action
shall bear the burden of proving to the City Council's satisfaction that such modification or abolition is
in the best interest of the City of Fayetteville. Such requests shall be submitted to the urban forester,
who shall ask the City Clerk to place it on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Council
meeting.
Page 10 of 11
(3) Property owners wishing to remove diseased or dead trees from within a recorded tree preservation
easement shall seek prior approval from the Urban Forester, who shall determine if such removal is
consistent with sound arboricultural and horticultural practices, as well as the intent of this chapter.
Any tree so removed shall be replaced with a tree of like or similar species, unless the Urban Forester
determines that natural replacements of sufficient health and vigor are already present in the tree
preservation easement.

All residential zoning districts and C-1 districts within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District shall have their percent
minimum canopy requirements increased by 5% to a total requirement of either 30% or 25%.
(D) Prior Tree Removal.
(1) If trees have been removed below the required percent minimum canopy within the five (5) years
preceding application for a development, the site must be forested to meet the Percent Minimum
Canopy requirements set forth in Table 1, plus an additional 10% of the total area of the property for
which the applicant is seeking approval, less the right-of-way and park land dedications. The number of
trees required to be planted shall be calculated using the base density for high priority trees.
(2) Waiver. If an applicant is able to demonstrate to the Planning Commission's satisfaction that the trees
were removed for a bona fide agricultural purpose, and not with the intent to thwart enforcement of
this chapter, the additional 10% reforestation requirement shall be waived.
(E) Tree Preservation Priorities.
(1) Percent Minimum Canopy. Proposed designs must meet the percent minimum canopy requirements
for the particular zoning designation, emphasizing the preservation and protection of high priority
trees on the site. Trees in existing and not to be vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward
the percent minimum canopy requirement and such utilities shall be routed, wherever possible, to
avoid existing canopy.
Page 3 of 11
(2) Existing Natural Features. Each design shall consider the existing natural features of the site, the
preservation priorities for the trees, and the impact their proposed removal may have both on and off -
site.
(3) Priority Trees. The preservation and protection of high priority trees shall be enforced most stringently
to meet the minimum percentage of canopy preservation. High priority trees are alive, healthy, greater
than or equal to an 8-inch diameter at breast height for large and medium species of trees. High
priority for small species of trees is greater than or equal to a 4-inch diameter. Low priority trees are
invasive species or unhealthy as determined by a tree care professional pursuant to §167.07. Low
priority trees are less than an 8-inch diameter at breast height for larger and medium species and less
than a 4-inch diameter at breast height for smaller trees species.
(F) Tree Preservation Requirements for Proposed Residential and Non -Residential Developments.
(1) Residential Developments. The percent minimum canopy in residential developments shall be located
in areas that have the least possibility of impact as public infrastructure and proposed utilities are
installed and homes built. The intent is to leave undisturbed as many existing trees as possible for the
use and enjoyment of prospective lot owners. Residential developments requesting tree removal
below the percent minimum canopy requirement may choose either residential on -site mitigation, or
to contribute to the Tree Escrow Account as set forth in §167.04(J)(4)(a). Trees in existing and not to be
vacated utility easements shall not be counted toward the percent minimum canopy requirement, and
such proposed utilities shall be routed to avoid existing canopy and shall count toward the percent
minimum canopy requirement.
(2) Nonresidential Developments. Two (2) options are available for establishing a tree preservation plan for
the development of nonresidential developments. The Urban Forester shall recommend to the
Planning Commission the option that will potentially preserve the largest amount of high priority
canopy based upon the tree preservation criteria set forth in §167.04(B) above.
(a) Preservation Plan for Entire Development. The developer may choose to preserve the percent
minimum canopy required for the entire development. With this option, the preserved canopy
shall be located in areas that will not be impacted by future development of the individual lots.
Canopy to be preserved shall be noted on the final plat, and shall be protected as set forth in
§167.04(L) below. Should the entire percent minimum canopy requirement for the site be so
protected, the preserved canopy shall be placed in a tree preservation easement and the final
plat shall include a statement that the individual lots, as represented thereon, shall not require
separate tree preservation plans.
(b) Preservation Plan for Infrastructure Only. The developer, in consultation with city staff, shall
delineate the area required for the construction of the infrastructure and improvements for the
development. This area should include street rights -of -way, and utility and drainage easements.
Proposed lot lines, streets, and easements shall be located to avoid placing a disproportionate
percentage of existing canopy in any one (1) proposed lot. This option shall not allow the removal
of trees during the grading of individual lots, unless shown by the developer to be essential to the
project's engineering design. The developer will be required to compensate for the canopy
removed from defined individual lots by making the appropriate payment into the Tree Escrow
Account. On all other areas of the development, the developer shall protect the existing canopy
during the construction phase in accordance with §167.05 below. The final plat shall include a
statement that the individual lots shall require separate tree preservation plans.
(3) Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. Individual parcels or lots located within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay
District boundary shall submit a tree preservation plan or an abbreviated tree preservation plan as set
forth in §167.04(H)(3) indicating the location of the structure and the preservation of the minimum
tree canopy requirement.
Page 4 of 11
(4) Developers have the option of creating cluster development, such as a Planned Zoning District, which
would encourage more open space and tree preservation. In this pattern of development, the trees
preserved or open space on each lot can be transferred to a larger Tree Preservation Easement instead
of individual lots required to meet minimum percent requirements. The Tree Preservation Easements
shall be clearly depicted on easement plats or final plats.
(G) Initial Review.
(1) Meeting with the Urban Forester. It is strongly recommended that prospective applicants meet with
the Urban Forester for an initial review of the proposed tree preservation plan for the site prior to
submitting a proposed development to the city. During the initial review, the Urban Forester shall
make recommendations to ensure the proposed subdivision or development complies with the
requirements of this chapter. These recommendations shall be nonbinding. However, applicants
proceed at the risk of higher costs and longer approval times due to changes required by a
noncompliant submittal should they choose not to have the initial review or to disregard the
recommendations of the Urban Forester.
(2) Confirmation. The Urban Forester shall document whether the applicant participated in the initial
review meeting in the Tree Preservation and Protection staff report given to applicants going through
the development review process. If the applicant chooses to attend an initial review meeting, the staff
report shall also document any recommendations made. The Urban Forester shall ensure that a copy of
the report or email becomes part of the permanent file for the project.
(H) Submittal of Plans. Applicants should bear in mind that all plans will be evaluated according to the tree
preservation criteria and percent minimum canopy requirements as set forth under §167.04(B) and (C).
(1) Tree Preservation Plan. On sites with existing tree canopy, the applicant shall conduct a tree
preservation analysis to determine the approximate age, health, size and species distribution of the
trees, noting each on a tree preservation plan, and clearly showing the locations and types of all
natural features on a site, including features 100 feet beyond the property lines. The tree preservation
plan shall also specifically depict the applicable preservation priority level for each tree or group of
trees on the site. The plan should include, but not be limited to, delineation of the following features as
they exist on the site:
(a) The existing topography of the site highlighting slopes of 15% or greater, and indicating the
natural drainage patterns;
(b) The property line boundaries of the site;
(c) Soils identified according to the Unified Soil Classification System;
(d) Any significant trees, as defined in the City of Fayetteville's Tree Preservation, Protection and
Landscape Manual, existing on the site, and the location of trunks, spread of the canopy, species,
diameter at breast height (DBH), and the overall health of each significant tree;
(e) Groupings of trees, delineating the edges of the overall canopy, noting the predominate species,
average height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and general health of the trees.
(f) All existing utilities and utility easements;
(g) All features, including trees, buildings, perennial and intermittent streams and creeks that exist
on the site or within 100 feet of the limits of disturbance;
(h) Floodplains and floodways on the site;
(i) All existing rights -of -way within and surrounding the project site, including any designated trails
or bike paths; and,
(j) Any other factors that may impact the design of the site.
Page 5 of 11
(2) Additional Tree Preservation Plan Content. The applicant shall indicate all proposed site improvements,
and delineate in the tree preservation plan the trees to be retained on -site, and the measures to be
implemented for their protection. These measures shall include, but need not be limited to, fencing,
limits of root pruning, as well as restrictions on traffic and material storage. The plan shall also clearly
depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all areas to be graded both on and off -site, as well as the
proposed location of utilities. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation,
Protection and Landscape Manual for details, examples and specific checklists. Examples can be
provided upon request to the Urban Forester.
(3) Abbreviated Tree Preservation Plan. Applicants requesting approval of development projects for
between 6,001 to 10,000 square feet of impervious area that require building permits, grading, or
parking lot permits, but that do not fall under the requirements for developments required to go
through the development review process of Technical Plat Review Committee, Subdivision Committee
and Planning Commission, shall prepare and submit an abbreviated tree preservation plan. The
information for an abbreviated tree preservation plan may be combined with the site plan, plat
drawing, or grading plan. The applicant is expected to show the general location of all existing groups
of trees, individual significant trees, and to clearly depict the limits of soil disturbance to include all
areas to be graded, both on and off -site, as well as the proposed location of utilities. Protective
measures such as fencing, limits of root pruning, restriction on traffic and materials storage shall be
depicted on the plan. A preliminary site visit with the Urban Forester is highly recommended before
applying for any of the above -mentioned permits. The applicant should consult the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual for details, and specific checklists. Applicants
submitting abbreviated tree preservation plans shall not be required to submit an analysis report, nor
shall they be required to hire architects, engineers, or landscape architects to prepare the abbreviated
tree preservation plan.
(4) Analysis Report. The applicant shall submit an analysis report when minimum percent canopy is not
met. The report shall detail the design approaches used to minimize damage to or removal of existing
canopy that were considered in arriving at the proposed design. Written justification shall be presented
as to why individual trees or canopy must be removed. The report shall also detail proposed on -site
mitigation options or off -site alternatives, as detailed below.
(5) Grading and Utility Plans. All subsequent grading and utility plans shall depict Tree Preservation Areas,
preserved trees, and the physical limits of all protective measures on site required during construction.
(6) Submittal Requirements. The applicant shall submit a tree preservation plan. Development plans with
removal of tree canopy below percent minimum canopy shall submit an analysis report to the Urban
Forester, concurrently with their tree preservation plan. Applicants submitting abbreviated tree
preservation plans shall not be required to submit analysis report.
(7) Tree Preservation Easements. The City of Fayetteville shall encourage the use of Tree Preservation
Easements for the added protection of trees preserved to meet percent minimum canopy
requirements or trees planted, in those instances where such would be of mutual benefit to the
applicant and the City of Fayetteville.
(1) Request for On -Site Mitigation.
(1) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation. Requests to remove trees below the percent minimum
canopy requirement must be incorporated with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Plan Requirements. The tree preservation plan must graphically represent the species and location for
all existing trees on -site. It shall also include a chart clearly stating the following information:
(a) The number of trees requested for removal;
(b) The percentage below the percent minimum canopy requirement they represent; and
Page 6 of 11
(c) The species and number of trees to be planted based on the forestation requirements below.
(3) Planting Details and Notes. Planting details and notes shall be included on the tree preservation plan or
landscape plan as set forth in the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape
Manual.
(4) Forestation Requirements. The number and species of trees required for forestation shall be based
upon the quality of the canopy lost:
(a) High Priority Canopy. When removing high priority canopy below the percent minimum canopy
required, the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of two hundred
(200), 2-inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(b) Low Priority Canopy. When removing low priority canopy below the percent minimum required,
the canopy square footage removed shall be forested at a base density of one hundred (100), 2-
inch caliper trees per acre removed.
(5) Base Density. Compensating for the environmental damage caused by removing tree canopy shall be
accomplished by forestation on a per acre basis. The base density formula used above is based on 2-
inch caliper trees. However, the urban forester may approve the use of trees with less than 2-inch
caliper for the planting of smaller tree species required by spatial constraints on the site. In such cases,
the number of trees to be planted may be adjusted in accordance with the species table to be found in
the City of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual.
(6) Preferred Species. All trees to be planted shall be species native to the Ozark region or native cultivars,
when available, or selected from the list of preferred tree species set forth in the City of Fayetteville
Tree Preservation, Protection and Landscape Manual. Species selection shall be based upon the
amount of space available for proper growth on the site, and must be approved by the Urban Forester.
(7) Placement of Trees. The applicant is expected to plant trees in locations on the site where the
environmental benefits of canopy cover are most likely to offset the impact of development. Trees
shall not be placed within utility easements, or in other locations where their future protection cannot
be assured.
(8) Residential On -Site Mitigation. Applicants requesting on -site mitigation for residential developments
shall comply with all the provisions of §167.04(I), as well as the following:
(a) The applicant's mitigation plan shall meet or exceed the required number of mitigation trees
based on the forestation requirements as set forth at §167.04(I)(4).
(b) All plans requesting residential on -site mitigation shall include a binding three (3) year
maintenance and monitoring plan, which shall hold the applicant responsible for the health of all
planted trees.
(i) Approval of a plan requesting residential on -site mitigation shall be contingent upon the
applicant depositing with the city an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of materials and labor for all trees at the time of planting. The irrevocable
letter of credit must cover the entire three (3) year maintenance and monitoring period.
Applicant shall submit cost estimates to the Urban Forester for approval.
(ii) Upon completion of the three (3) year landscape establishment period, the Urban Forester
shall inspect the site and determine whether 90% of the trees are healthy and have a
reasonable chance of surviving to maturity. Upon such a finding, the city shall release the
letter of credit.
(iii) In the absence of such a finding, the applicant shall be notified to replace any unhealthy or
dead trees, or take other appropriate action as approved by the Urban Forester. If the
Page 7 of 11
applicant does not take remedial steps to bring the property into compliance, the city shall
use the necessary moneys from the landscape establishment guarantee to do so.
(iv) In the event trees are injured or destroyed by natural disasters, including but not limited
to, tornadoes, straight-line winds, ice storms, fire, floods, hail, or lightning strikes, or
through the independent actions of third parties, the applicant shall be relieved of the
responsibility of replanting the tree or trees so affected.
(c) Developers requesting mitigation trees be planted along the street right-of-way of residential
developments shall submit a landscape plan that complies with the standards outlined in the City
of Fayetteville Tree Preservation, Protection, and Landscape Manual in order to ensure that new
trees planted are of the highest quality, require low maintenance, and do not interfere with
public safety. The species of trees to be planted shall be selected from the approved street tree
species list, or be otherwise specifically approved by the Urban Forester. The applicant's
mitigation plan for planting street trees shall describe in detail the method for tracking the
development of the individual lots, which shall best ensure that required number and species of
mitigation trees are planted.
(9) Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives (Green Roofs or Green Facades).
(a) Intent. The intent is to allow previously developed sites with at least 50% existing impervious
area and limited space for planting trees to use on -site mitigation alternatives to meet the
mitigation requirements and still contribute beneficial plant materials that provide positive
ecosystem services.
(b) Applicability. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives shall only be allowed as alternatives to planting
trees in form -based zoning districts that allow for mixed -use and do not have a building area
maximum requirement. On -Site Mitigation Alternatives may not be utilized on sites that have
adequate space to meet landscape requirements.
(c) Timing of Request for On -Site Mitigation Alternatives. Requests for on -site alternatives must be
incorporated and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(d) Intensive Green Roof. A green roof with 6 inches or great soil medium that can sustain plant
species with deeper root systems.
(e) Extensive Green Roof. A green roof with 2 to 5 inches of soil medium that can sustain plant
species with shallow root systems.
(f) Green Fagade. A green fagade is created by growing climbing plants up and across the fagade of a
building, either from plants grown directly in the ground or a large container of at least 12 inches
of soil medium. Plants can attach directly to the building or be supported with a 12-inch by 12-
inch trellis system connected to the building.
(g) Mitigation Alternative Calculations. The applicant's plan to install an extensive green roof,
intensive green roof, and green fagade in lieu of a mitigation tree shall be based from square
footage of tree canopy.
(i) The calculation for an extensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 2.5 square feet of extensive green roof.
(ii) The calculation for an intensive green roof shall be based from a ratio of 1 square foot of
tree canopy to 1.4 square feet of intensive green roof.
(iii) The calculation for a green fagade shall be done based from a ratio of 1 square foot of tree
canopy to 2.5 square feet of green facade.
(J) Request for Off -Site Alternatives.
Page 8 of 11
(1) Timing of Request for Off -Site Alternatives. Requests for off -site alternatives must be incorporated in,
and submitted concurrently with the applicant's tree preservation plan.
(2) Off -Site Preservation. The applicant may seek approval of the Urban Forester to preserve an equal or
greater amount of canopy cover at a site within the city limits.
(3) Off -Site Forestation.
(a) If off -site preservation cannot be achieved, the applicant may seek approval from the Urban
Forester to plant the required number of trees on another site owned by the applicant and
located within the city limits. A tree preservation easement must be conveyed concurrently with
or prior to submission of a final plat by the applicant to the city to protect any off -site
preservation or forestation and the legal description of the tree preservation easement shall also
appear on the final plat.
(b) An applicant may plant and maintain mitigation trees needed for the applicant's development as
to fulfill the obligation set forth in Chapter 167, Tree Preservation and Protection, in a nearby city
park or public right-of-way if expressly approved by City Council resolution. The City Council shall
seek advice from the Urban Forester, Parks and Recreation Department staff and citizens about
the advisability of forestation of the nearby city park and may apply express conditions including
requiring irrigation to be installed and regular maintenance to be performed by the applicant.
(4) Tree Escrow Account. Tree preservation on -site is always the preferred option, with on -site mitigation,
off -site preservation, off -site forestation, and on -site mitigation alternatives to be considered in
descending order only if the more preferred option cannot be fully achieved. If none of these options
can completely fulfill a developer's obligation under this Tree Preservation and Protection Chapter, the
developer shall pay into the City Tree Escrow Account $250.00 for each tree required to meet the Base
Density requirements which fairly represents the costs of material and labor to plant a tree. The
developer shall also pay into the Tree Escrow Fund $425.00 as three (3) years of maintenance costs to
ensure each tree survives for that period of time. Tree planting and maintenance costs should be
reviewed at least every four (4) years to ensure it remains the fair market costs for tree planting and
maintenance for three (3) years.
(a) Residential developments which cannot achieve the base density tree requirements through
preservation or mitigation shall contribute to the Tree Escrow Account. The city shall use the
money paid into the Tree Escrow Account to plant trees within the development along rights -of -
way, detention ponds, common areas or other areas where trees can be protected and have a
high probability of survival to a mature tree. This shall be accomplished once the development is
built out or as approved by the Urban Forester.
(b) Money contributed in lieu of on -site mitigation or off -site forestation shall be paid prior to
issuance of a building permit on all commercial, industrial, or multi -family residential buildings
and prior to final plat acceptance for all residential and non-residential subdivisions.
(c) Money contributed under this section:
(i) May be used for canopy mitigation, including planting site identification, tree acquisition,
planting, and maintenance, utilizing either city staff or contract labor;
(ii) Shall not revert to the general fund for ongoing operations.
(d) If it is not possible to plant trees within the development, planting locations will be sought in
appropriate sites within a 1 mile radius of where the original project is located, but if this cannot
be achieved, the moneys shall be used to plant the trees in the park quadrant in which the
development took place, or pursuant to §167.04(J)(2) and (3). Data extracted from the urban
forest analysis should be consulted when identifying appropriate locations to plant escrow
funded trees.
Page 9 of 11
(e) The City of Fayetteville shall refund the portion of the money contributed under this section,
including the accrued interest that has not been expended seven (7) years from the date of the
contribution. Interest shall be based on a 4% annual rate.
(f) Refunds shall be paid to the applicant who made the original contribution.
(g) Notice of the right to a refund, including the amount of the refund and the procedure for
applying for and receiving the refund, shall be sent or served in writing to the applicant no later
than thirty (30) days after the date which the refund becomes due. The sending by regular mail of
the notices to the applicant shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirement of notice.
(h) The refund shall be made on a pro rata basis, and shall be paid in full no later than ninety (90)
days after the date certain upon which the refund becomes due.
(i) At the time of the contribution to the Tree Escrow Account, the Urban Forester shall provide the
applicant with written notice of those circumstances under which refunds of such fees will be
made. Failure to deliver such written notice shall not invalidate any contribution to the Tree
Escrow Account under this ordinance.
(K) Tree Preservation Plan Review Form. The Urban Forester shall use a standardized form for all
recommendations or administrative determinations made regarding an applicant's tree preservation plan.
(1) The form shall clearly indicate whether the Urban Forester is making a final administrative
determination, or a recommendation to the Planning Commission or City Council.
(2) The form shall also clearly indicate the applicant's plan is "APPROVED," "DISAPPROVED," or
"CONDITIONALLY APPROVED," and explain the reasoning therefore.
(3) A statement shall appear on the form explaining the process by which a final administrative
determination may be appealed in accordance with Chapter 155 of the Unified Development Code.
(4) The Urban Forester shall sign and date the form, and ensure that a copy becomes part of the
permanent file for the project.
(L) Continuing Preservation and Protection Under Approved Tree Preservation Plans and Tree Preservation
Easements.
(1) Large scale developments, large scale site improvements, and commercial preliminary plats are
required to dedicate a tree preservation easement, if any existing tree are to be preserved. The tree
preservation easement shall be the size of the minimum canopy preservation requirement, if possible.
If the minimum tree preservation canopy is not available, the applicant will not be required to dedicate
the minimum canopy preservation. The applicant will have to dedicate a tree preservation easement
that is agreed upon with The Urban Forester. In order to ensure that an applicant's heirs, successors,
assigns, or any subsequent purchasers of the subject property are put on notice as to the existence and
extent of approved tree preservation easements which shall be clearly depicted and noted on the
easement plats for large scale developments, large scale site improvements, commercial final plats,
and any plats with a tree preservation easement. This shall be accompanied by a narrative statement
describing the nature of the protection afforded, and bearing the signature of the Urban Forester. If it
is impractical to include the actual depiction of the canopy in a tree preservation easement on the
easement plat, or final plat itself, a note cross referencing an accompanying document shall suffice.
(2) The geographic extent and location of tree preservation easements, once recorded, may only be
modified, or abolished with the express approval of the City Council. Applicants requesting such action
shall bear the burden of proving to the City Council's satisfaction that such modification or abolition is
in the best interest of the City of Fayetteville. Such requests shall be submitted to the urban forester,
who shall ask the City Clerk to place it on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Council
meeting.
Page 10 of 11
(3) Property owners wishing to remove diseased or dead trees from within a recorded tree preservation
easement shall seek prior approval from the Urban Forester, who shall determine if such removal is
consistent with sound arboricultural and horticultural practices, as well as the intent of this chapter.
Any tree so removed shall be replaced with a tree of like or similar species, unless the Urban Forester
determines that natural replacements of sufficient health and vigor are already present in the tree
preservation easement.

Environmental Action Committee
Letter of Support
71B Rezoning Project —Tree Canopy Protection
The Environmental Action Committee (EAC) enthusiastically encourages the City of Fayetteville to adopt
and implement the new Urban Corridor (UC) zoning district, especially as it applies to the revitalization of
the 71 B Corridor.
We applaud the effort City staff has taken to formulate a new zoning designation for the 71 B project that
allows mixed (commercial and housing) development along the corridor. This approach provides an excel-
lent solution to our housing dilemma. It also contributes to reducing urban sprawl and the loss of green
space.
It is particularly noteworthy that the proposed tree canopy preservation requirement of 20% for the new UC
zoning district is a 5% increase over the current requirement of the C-2 zoning. Since a substantial number
of these trees are located on hillsides at the back of various properties to be rezoned, the increase in can-
opy preservation should have minimal effect on future development plans and efforts. At the same time it
will provide significant benefits in the form of carbon sinks, reduction of heat islands, as a very effective
noise and dust barrier, and for maintaining the beautiful "green" Fayetteville ambiance we are known for!
This increase in tree canopy preservation would be in sync with the new Climate Action Plan designed to
be the framework to guide and energize actions around the City's efforts to be a resource and energy effi-
cient community. The plan sets ambitious mitigation targets, including an overarching goal of net -zero
emissions by 2050. Setting a net -zero goal aligns Fayetteville with international targets that aim to balance
greenhouse gas (GHG) production with atmospheric removals. To be on track to be net zero by 2050, the
community will need to decrease our cumulative GHG emissions by 37 percent by 2030.
Thank you for the work you have done to revitalize our city.

RE: Scriveners Error in Ordinance 6793
You pointed out to me three scrivener's errors in Ordinance 6793. This
memo is intended to provide background for Municode or others who may
have questions about it. These typos came about by trying to shorten the
number of pages your office would need to publish in the newspaper.
1. In Section 2, the section that was amended was supposed to be §
160.01, not 161.01. The section is referenced correctly by name,
Establishment of Districts.
2. Section 5 contains the incorrect name of the C-2 zoning, which should
be C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial.
3, Section 7 says that UC would be added to four subsections of§
173.10 after P-1, although subsection (C)(3) does not include P-1. It
should still be added to subsection (C)(3) between CS and UT.
Both the clean and strikethrough versions of the ordinance attached to the City
Council packet are accurate and if there are any questions, I would refer to those
documents.
