From: Kara Paxton, City Clerk Treasurer'��G
CC: City Attorney Kit Williams, Senior Assistant Blake Pennington, Chief of Staff Susan Norton &
Chief Financial Officer Paul Becker
Date: November 8, 2024
RE: City Clerk Treasurer Kara Paxton — Out of Office due to Medical Procedure
Mayor Lioneld Jordan,
Due to a medical procedure, I will be unavailable to sign documents or attend meetings starting
November 11th, 2024. 1 plan to be back in the office as of November 25th, 2024. Senior Deputy City
Clerk Treasurer Jackson Shelton or Deputy City Clerk — Codifier Courtney Spohn will notify you
should these dates change.
The recommended recovery time for my medical procedure (Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant) ranges
from 4 to 8 weeks. The surgeon stated that I must be off work for at least one week. The surgeon also
encouraged me to utilize telework options in the weeks following the initial surgery week. He also
stated that should I need to physically come to work, I need to park as close to the building as
possible, no lifting/carrying heavy or large objects, and no sudden twisting or turning.
In my absence, I authorize Senior Deputy City Clerk Treasurer Jackson Shelton to attest your (Mayor
Lioneld Jordan) signature. Should an issue arise that Mr. Shelton is not available to sign within a 24-
hour timeframe, I authorize Deputy City Clerk — Codifier Courtney Spohn to sign in our absence.
As the official custodian of the City's seal, I authorize Mr. Shelton and Ms. Spohn to use the seal for
official purposes only.
Please direct city staff to route all Alcohol Permits to Mr. Shelton for review and electronic signature.
Please notify the Accounting Department that check requests will be reviewed and signed by Ms.
Spohn before being emailed to the Accounting Department. Ms. Spohn will also be responsible for
approving purchase requests submitted November 11th — November 15th, 2024.
Mr. Shelton and Ms. Spohn will go above and beyond to ensure that our office continues to support
all our internal and external customers while I am out of office. Over the last 3 years Ms. Spohn has
continuously demonstrated her professionalism and advanced skillset in her positions. Mr. Shelton
has been with our office for almost 2 years now and has consistently impressed me by going above
and beyond in his work duties. I am confident that Mr. Shelton and Ms. Spohn will successfully
manage the office while I am out.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-654
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Kylee Cole, Long Range & Preservation Planner
SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0043: Rezoning (1236 W. MT. COMFORT RD/SCHWARTING, 404):
Submitted by SCHUYLER SCHWARTING for property located at 1236 W. MOUNT
COMFORT RD. in WARD 2. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-
FAMILY, FOUR UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.30 acres. The
request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE -URBAN.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of a request to rezone the subject
property as described and shown in the attached Exhibits `A' and `B'.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in central Fayetteville, approximately 0.13 miles west of the intersection of W. Mt.
Comfort Rd. and N. Garland Ave. The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per
Acre, and contains approximately 0.30 acres. It is currently developed with a single-family dwelling constructed
in 1931.
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per
Acre to RI-U, Residential Intermediate, Urban.
Public Comment: To date, staff has received one comment in opposition to the request, citing concerns about
flooding, stormwater management, and increased traffic and parking issues.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-U to be compatible with the
surrounding area. The subject property is adjacent to RSF-4-zoned single-family and undeveloped properties
to the north and east. To the south is the RMF-24-zoned Garden Park Apartments. A rezoning to RI-U would
allow for a wider variety of residential uses than those permitted under the property's current zoning
designation, including the by -right development of two-, three-, and four -family dwellings. This would provide a
transition in intensity from the multi -family properties to the south into the less intense and dense single-family
properties to the north. Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with surrounding land uses.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the City's adopted land use
plans, including its Future Land Use Map designation as City Neighborhood area and location within a Tier 2
Center. Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-U would support those designations as both City Neighborhood Areas
and Tier 2 Centers exist to provide a mix of residential uses of moderate density. The property has a
moderately -high infill score, with access to trails, parks, public schools, and grocery stores and other infill

Fayetteville, AR 72701
elements that make it appropriate for higher density infill development. Staff finds that the requested rezoning
could allow for the creation of missing middle housing and meets City Goals 1 (appropriate infill), 3 (compact,
complete, and connected development), and 6 (opportunities for attainable housing).
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 10 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 2, 708 N. Garland Ave.)
• Near Sewer Main (8-inch line, W. Mount Comfort Rd.)
• Near Water Main (6-inch line, W. Mount Comfort Rd.)
• Near Grocery Store (Harps, 1189 N. Garland Ave.)
• Near Public School (Asbell Elementary School; Leverett Elementary School)
• Near UA Campus
• Near City Park (Lewis Soccer Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (W. Mount Comfort Rd. Side -Path Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Garden Park)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
DISCUSSION:
At the October 14, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, a motion to forward the item to the City Council,
recommending approval, was made by Commissioner Garlock and seconded by Commissioner Cabe. A vote
of 8-0-0 followed. The commissioners cited future land use compatibility and staff recommendations as noted
in the report as reasons for approval.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Streets: The property has frontage along W. Mount Comfort Road, a partially improved
Residential Link Street with asphalt paving, curb and gutter, and trail along the
south side. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined
at the time of development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. An existing eight -inch water line along
the property's W. Mount Comfort Road frontage.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject area. An existing 6-inch sewer main
along the property's W. Mount Comfort Road frontage. There are known sewer
capacity issues identified in the City's 2021 Sewer Master Plan that appear in the
system approximately 600 linear feet downstream of this property.
Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District or
a FEMA-designated floodplain and no protected streams or hydric soils are
present. Any improvements or requirements for drainage would be determined at
the time of development submittal.
Fire: Station 2, located at 708 N. Garland Ave. protects this site. The property is located
approximately 0.6 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 3 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 5.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn -out
time. Within the city limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time
goal of six minutes for an engine and eight minutes for a ladder truck. Fire
apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request
Tree Preservation:
The current zoning district of RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, Four Units per
Acre, requires 25% minimum canopy preservation. The proposed zoning district
of RI-U, Residential Intermediate - Urban, requires 15% minimum canopy
preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates
the property within the proposed rezone as City Neighborhood.
City Neighborhood areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and
provide a mix of non-residential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest
spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single-family to multi -family.
Non-residential and commercial uses are primarily located at street intersections and along major
corridors. Ideally, commercial uses would have a residential component and vary in size, variety
and intensity. The street network should have a high number of intersections creating a system
of small blocks with a high level of connectivity between neighborhoods. Building setbacks and
landscaping are urban in form with street trees typically being located within the sidewalk zone.

CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 10 for this
site with a weighted score of 12.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 2, 708 N. Garland Ave.)

FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-
U to be compatible with the surrounding area. The subject property is
adjacent to RSF-4-zoned single-family and undeveloped properties to the
north and east. To the south is the RMF-24-zoned Garden Park Apartments.
A rezoning to RI-U would allow for a wider variety of residential uses than
those permitted under the property's current zoning designation, including
the by -right development of two-, three-, and four -family dwellings. This
would provide a transition in intensity from the multi -family properties to
the south into the less intense and dense single-family properties to the
north. Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with surrounding
land uses.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent
with the City's adopted land use plans, including its Future Land Use Map
designation as City Neighborhood area and location within a Tier 2 Center.
Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-U would support those designations as both
City Neighborhood Areas and Tier 2 Centers exist to provide a mix of
residential uses of moderate density. The property has a moderately -high
infill score, with access to trails, parks, public schools, and grocery stores
and other infill elements that make it appropriate for higher density infill
development. Staff finds that the requested rezoning could allow for the
creation of missing middle housing and meets City Goals 1 (appropriate
infill), 3 (compact, complete, and connected development), and 6
(opportunities for attainable housing).
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that there is sufficient justification to rezone the property from
RSF-4 to RI-U since the rezoning would be consistent with the property's
future land use designation and supports several goals of City Plan 2040.
Planning Commission

Paqe 3 of 13
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: A rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-U does have the potential to slightly increase
traffic danger and congestion due to an increase in density, however the size
of the parcel will limit the density on the site. Access management will be
reviewed at the time of development.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: The proposed rezoning has the potential to slightly alter the population
density since it would allow for more intense residential development.
However, the property currently has access to public streets, water, and
sewers, and any necessary improvements would be determined at the time
of development. Fayetteville Public Schools did not comment on this
request.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted under
its existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even
though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the proposed
zoning is not desirable.
Finding: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommend forwarding RZN-2024-0043 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

Subject: I oppose re -zoning at 1236 W. Mount Comfort Road, agenda Oct. 14th
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
Good Morning,
own the house at 1812 W. Carter which is very close to 1236 W.
Mount Comfort Rd. I oppose this rezoning and Schuyler
Schwarting's desire to build another house on the property. My
opposition is based on 1) the increased susceptibility of flooding in
the area - the more you cover the ground, the greater flooding and
excess water will affect the surrounding properties; 2) we only have
dirt culverts in our area which are easily overwhelmed; 3) driving is
already difficult on Carter Street (which shares a boundary with this
parcel) with only one car at a time able to drive on the street; 4)
deterioration of enjoyment of the neighborhood - the more crowded
it becomes, the less enjoyable our homes are; and finally parking,
there is no street parking on Mount Comfort and no parking on
Carter St.
If Schuyler Schwarting wants a bigger house, I suggest he build up.
Finally, I urge you to go to the property and walk the property and
see the dirt culverts for the handling of rain water, see how narrow
the streets are with no parking available, and recognize that
neighborhoods need some green space in these conditions.
Thank you for your consideration.

CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
REZONING REQUEST LETTER
The rezoning of this property, at 1236 W. Mount Comfort Rd., from RSF-4 to RW is in line and
compatible with the zoning of the surrounding properties. Across the street from this property is
the Garden Park Apartments, The Locale Fayetteville Apartments, also a 4-unit apartment
complex and a 9-unit Townhome complex all of which are zoned RMF-24 and one block away to
the west is also zoned RW and to the north is zoned RSF-18. The proposed rezoning will not
unreasonably adversely affect or conflict with the surrounding land uses because this lot will
continue to be residential but opens up new possibilities. It is on a main thoroughfare that
connects the neighborhood to Garland Dr. to the east or Weddington Dr. to the south. It is also
right across the street from a Razorback Transit bus stop #33. This Razorback Transit system is
capable of transporting throughout the City of Fayetteville.
The RW Residential District is designed to permit and encourage the development of
detached and attached dwellings in suitable environments, provide a range of housing
types compatible in scale with single-family homes and encourages a diversity of
housing types to meet demand for walkable urban living. I believe this change of
zoning is compatible with this request and meets the description of the new zoning.
