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
2024-657
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: RZN-2024-0046: Rezoning (510 W. PRAIRIE ST./SCOTT, 523): Submitted by WATKINS,
BOYER, GRAY, & CURRY PLLC for property located at 510 W. PRAIRE ST. in WARD
2. The property is zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE and contains approximately 0.16
acres. The request is to rezone the property to DG, DOWNTOWN GENERAL.
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 located in Downtown Fayetteville, just north of the intersection of W. Prairie Street and
S. Gregg Avenue. The property contains one parcel totaling 0.16 acres which is developed with a single-family
dwelling and accessory structure and zoned R-O, Residential -Office. Hydric soils are present, but no protected
streams or FEMA-designated floodplain are present on site.
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from R-O, Residential -Office to DG, Downtown
General.
Public Comment: Staff has not received public comment on this request.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the requested rezoning is compatible with surrounding land uses. The
subject property is located on the south edge of Downtown, approximately 100 feet from the Razorback
Greenway and Lower Ramble. A rezoning to DG, Downtown General, would allow more intense residential
development and commercial uses in an area that includes an existing mix of residential, commercial, and
institutional uses. The property's current zoning, R-O, allows for development that staff finds to be inconsistent
with current development and zoning patterns in that area given the relatively large lot width and minimum
requirements of the R-O zoning district.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that a rezoning to DG would be consistent with the City's adopted land use
plans. City Plan 2040's Future Land Use Map designates the property as City Neighborhood. These areas are
intended to support a wide variety of housing and commercial types in walkable urban neighborhoods. The
property also has a high infill score of 12 which indicates that it is a suitable location for infill development
under a wider range of entitlements.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 12 for this site. The
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 1, located at 303 W. Center St.)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, W. Stone Street)
• Near Water Main (4-inch main, W. Stone Street)
• Near Grocery Store (Walmart Neighborhood Market located at 660 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.)
• Near Public School (Fayetteville High School)
• Near U of A Campus
• Near City Park (Lower Ramble)
• Near Paved Trail (Frisco Trail/Razorback Greenway)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (School & Archibald Yell Stop ID 32695, School & MLK Blvd. Stop ID 76256)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Hill & MLK Stop ID 149523 & 149524)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
• Sufficient Intersection Density
DISCUSSION:
At the October 14, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, a motion made by Commissioner Payne and
seconded by Commissioner Castin initiated a vote of 9-0-0 to forward the request to City Council,
recommending approval. The commissioners cited future land use compatibility and staff recommendations as
noted in the report as reasons for approval. No public comment was given.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
THRU: Gretchen Harrison, Senior Planner
FROM: Britin Bostick, Long Range Planning/Special Projects Manager
MEETING DATE: October 14, 2024
SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0046: Rezoning (510 W. PRAIRIE ST./SCOTT, 523):
Submitted by WATKINS, BOYER, GRAY, & CURRY PLLC for property
located at 510 W. PRAIRE ST. The property is zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL
OFFICE and contains approximately 0.16 acres. The request is to rezone
the property to DG, DOWNTOWN GENERAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2024-0046 to the City Council with a recommendation of
approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"1 move to forward RZN-2024-0046 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. "
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located in Downtown Fayetteville, just north of the intersection of W. Prairie
Street and S. Gregg Avenue on the north side of W. Prairie Street. The property contains one
parcel totaling 0.16 acres which is developed with a single-family dwelling and accessory structure
and zoned R-O, Residential -Office. Hydric soils are present, but no protected streams or FEMA-
designated floodplain are present on site. Surrounding land uses and zoning are depicted below
in Table 1.

Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from R-O, Residential -Office to DG,
Downtown General.
Public Comment: Staff has not received public comment on this request.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Streets: The subject property has frontage along W. Prairie Street. W. Prairie Street is a
partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving and sidewalk along
the north side but no curbs. The City is currently completing a project that will
improve W. Prairie St. 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. A 6" water line is present along the
north side of W Prairie St.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject area. An 8" sanitary sewer main is
present along the south side of W Prairie St. There are known wet weather sewer
capacity issues identified in the City's 2021 Sewer Master Plan that appear in the
system approximately 130 linear feet downstream of this property.
Drainage: The subject property does not lie within a FEMA-designated floodplain and
protected streams are identified on properties directly to the west of but not on the
subject property. Hydric soils are present on site. Streamside Protection Zones
generally consists of a protected area on each side of a stream or creek. This
"protected area" is meant to preserve woody vegetation and natural areas along
stream corridors to improve/protect stream health. At a minimum, it will be 50ft
wide as measured from the top of bank but depending on the shape and extents
of the floodway, it could be substantially more. Certain construction activities such
as trails and some utilities are allowed in these zones, but in general,
improvements such as parking lots or buildings are prohibited.
Hydric soils are a known indicator of wetlands. However, for an area to be
classified as wetlands, it may also need other characteristics such as hydrophytes
(plants that grow in water), and shallow water during parts of the year. Hydric Soils
can be found across many areas of Fayetteville, including valleys, floodplains, and
open prairies. It's important to identify these natural resources during
development, so when these soils are identified on a property, further
environmental studies will be required at the time of development. Before permits
will be issued for the property a statement/report from an environmental
professional must be provided summarizing the existence of wetlands on the
property. If this statement/report indicates that wetlands may be present on site,
a USACE Determination of Jurisdictional Wetlands will be required. Any additional
improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of
development.
Fire: Station 1, located at 303 W. Center St., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 0.7 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 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes for a ladder truck. Fire apparatus
access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for compliance with the
Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed zoning district, DG, Downtown General, requires 10% minimum
canopy preservation. The current zoning district, R-O, Residential -Office,
requires 20% 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 Neighborhoods 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 range of 12 for
this site with a weighted score of 17 at the highest level. The following elements of the matrix
contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 1, located at 303 W. Center St.)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, W. Stone Street)
• Near Water Main (4-inch main, W. Stone Street)
• Near Grocery Store (Walmart Neighborhood Market located at 660 W. Martin Luther King
Jr. Blvd.)
• Near Public School (Fayetteville High School)
• Near U of A Campus
• Near City Park (Lower Ramble)
• Near Paved Trail (Frisco Trail/Razorback Greenway)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (School & Archibald Yell Stop ID 32695, School & MILK Blvd. Stop ID
76256)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Hill & MILK Stop ID 149523 & 149524)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
• Sufficient Intersection Density
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 that the requested rezoning is compatible
with surrounding land uses. The subject property is located on the south
edge of Downtown, approximately 100 feet from the Razorback Greenway
and Lower Ramble. A rezoning to DG, Downtown General, would allow more
intense residential development and commercial uses in an area that
includes a mix of residential, commercial, and institutional uses. The
property's current zoning, R-O, allows for development that staff finds to be
inconsistent with current development and zoning patterns in that area given
the relatively large lot width and minimum requirements of the R-O zoning
district.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that a rezoning to DG would be
consistent with the City's adopted land use plans. City Plan 2040's Future
Land Use Map designates the property as City Neighborhood. These areas
are intended to support a wide variety of housing and commercial types in
walkable urban neighborhoods. The property also has a high infill score of
12 which indicates that it is a suitable location for infill development.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that there is sufficient justification for rezoning the property from
R-O to DG. Staff finds that the proposed rezoning is compatible with
surrounding properties and consistent with the City's future land use plans.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: A rezoning from R-O to DG has the potential to minimally increase vehicular
traffic in the area when considering that the property is less than one fifth on
an acre in size and many surrounding properties are already zoned DG.
Between 2019 and 2023, no traffic crashes were reported adjacent to the
property and four crashes, one with possible injury and three with no
apparent injury, were reported on W. Prairie St. Six crashes with no apparent
injury and one crash with a suspected minor injury were reported at the
intersection of W. Prairie St. and S. Nelson Hackett Blvd. to the west of the
subject property.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: Rezoning the property from R-O to DG has minimal potential to alter the
population density given the size of the property and surrounding zoning
and uses, although DG would allow for increased residential development.
Given the property's proximity to public streets, water, and sewer, staff finds
that the proposed rezoning is not likely to undesirably increase the load on
public services. Any necessary upgrades or improvements to existing
infrastructure would be determined at the time of development. Fayetteville
Public Schools did not comment on this request.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted under
its existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even
though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the proposed
zoning is not desirable.
Finding: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommend forwarding RZN-2024-0046 to the City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

RE: Rezoning Parcel No. 765-12939-000 from RO—Residential Office to DG—Downtown General
Dear Planning Staff:
This letter is intended to accompany a rezone request for Parcel No. 765-12939-000, located at 510 W.
Prarie St., from RO-Residential Office, to DG—Downtown General.
This property is surrounded on two sides by property zoned DG, and is adjacent to the West to RO-zoned
properties. This property is located in the Mill District, which is currently undergoing transformation into a walkable
neighborhood center, with developments and redevelopments such as the mixed used building to the East, denser
single family housing to the East, Walmart Neighborhood Market, and the adaptive re -use of the farmer's co-op to
the South. DG has a much greater potential to encourage development of a similar character to the aforementioned
projects than would RO, which has potential to produce overuse of dated structures rather than redevelopment.
Additionally, this rezoning would encourage infill, development of missing middle housing, and would
provide the opportunity to diversity housing stock in the area. This rezoning would act as a natural extension of the
largely DG- and MSC -zoned properties to the East. Finally, the property has access to both water and sewer, with
existing lines for both being located on Prarie St.
Thank you for considering this request for rezoning. If you have any questions, please contact me at 479-
636-2168 or at wkellstrom(i,)watkinslawoffice.com.
Sincerely,
WATKINS, BOYER,
GRAY & CURRY, PLLC
