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.

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 2024
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-720
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Gretchen Harrison, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Appeal: PZD-2024-0005: Planned Zoning District (N. RUPPLE RD. & W. SALEM
RD./FOXTAIL MEADOWS, 205): Submitted by FLINTLOCK LTD CO. for property
located on N. RUPPLE RD. & W. SALEM RD. in WARD 4. The property is zoned RSF-
4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR UNITS PER ACRE and located in the
FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING AREA and contains approximately 44.00 acres. The
request is to rezone the property, once fully annexed, to a PZD, PLANNED ZONING
DISTRICT.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Planning staff recommends approval and the Planning Commission recommends denial of a request to
rezone the subject property as described and shown below.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located in northwest Fayetteville just north of the intersection of Rupple Road and Weir
Road. The property contains a total of nine parcels, eight of which are located in city limits and zoned RSF-4,
Residential Single -Family, Four Units per Acre, and one of which is located outside of city limits in
unincorporated Washington County. A request to annex the parcel in Washington County has been submitted
concurrently with this request (ANX-2024-0001). The parcels in city limits were annexed in 2006. All parcels
included in the project boundary are currently undeveloped and those on the east side of Rupple Road are
largely covered by mature tree canopy. A protected stream is present on the west side of the site, though no
portions of the property lie within a floodplain or the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District and no hydric soils are
present.
Request: The applicant requests to rezone the property to a planned zoning district with three planning areas,
as described below:
Planning Area A — 13.60 acres: The intention of this area is to provide single- and two-family
dwellings with no density limitation. The allowable uses are similar to those allowed in other single-
family and intermediate residential zoning districts.
Planning Area B — 14.20 acres: This planning area is intended to be a residential area that
accommodates a wider range of building types, ranging from single- to multi -family dwellings. No
density limitation is proposed in this planning area.
Planning Area C — 16.20 acres: This planning area is intended to protect natural areas and open
space, includes more than one-third of the overall property, and has regulations that are identical to the
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
City's R-A, Residential -Agricultural zoning district.
Public Comment: Staff received public comment on this item following the publication of the Planning
Commission staff report and at the Planning Commission meeting on October 14, 2024. Concerns were raised
about the proposal for increased density near rural areas and low -density single-family residences, potential
impacts on existing drainage issues, and compatibility with the City's future land use plans.
Land Use Compatibility: On the balance of considerations, staff finds the applicant's request to be compatible
with the surrounding area. As proposed, the planned zoning district would allow for a compact and complete
residential development near low -density subdivisions. While no density maximums are proposed in the
residential planning areas, the subsequent development associated with this PZD is intended to have a density
of 3.7 units per acre based on the information provided, which is less than the maximum allowed by RSF-4
zoning. Staff finds that the applicant's request would allow for a compact residential development that
promotes a wide range of housing types, encourages pedestrian -oriented design, and preserves natural
features on site. Necessary street improvements and extensions and upgrades of water and sewer mains
would be determined and required at the time of development.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the proposed planned zoning district is somewhat consistent with the
City's adopted land use plans. City Plan 2040's Future Land Use Map designates this property as Residential
Neighborhood Area and those areas are intended to encourage a wide range of housing types which this PZD
would allow. While the site has a low infill score range of 1-5, is located just within city limits, and has limited
access to utilities, staff finds that it would not be encouraging suburban sprawl. Staff finds that the proposed
PZD would be aligned with several goals of City Plan 2040 including Goal 2 (discouraging suburban sprawl) by
allowing for a compact residential development with urban zoning standards that is compatible with the
surrounding area, Goal 3 (making compact, complete, and connected development the standard), and Goal 6
(creating opportunities for housing).
City Plan 2040 Infill Matrix: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 1-5 for this site. Elements
contributing to the highest score include the following:
• Near Sewer Main (8" main, Ika Lane)
• New Water Main (various mains, Rupple Road and Salem Road)
• Near Public School (Holcomb Elementary School)
• Near City Park (Gary Hampton Softball Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (Rupple Road, Clabber Creek Trail)
DISCUSSION:
At the October 14, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, this item was denied by a vote of 4-5-0.
Commissioners Madden, McGetrick, Brink, and Castin voted in favor of the request while Commissioners
Gulley, Cabe, Werner, Garlock, and Payne voted against it. Commissioners in favor of the request found the
PZD to be more favorable than the property's current zoning, RSF-4, since it would allow for compact
development and the preservation of large natural areas. Commissioners opposed to the request expressed
concerns about the property's low infill score, compatibility with the surrounding area, and limited access to
public infrastructure. Nine members of the public spoke at the meeting. Concerns were raised about the PZD's
allowance for increased density near rural areas and low -density single-family residences, potential impacts on
existing drainage issues, and compatibility with the City's future land use plans.

development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the site. There are existing lines differing in size along
Rupple and Salem. This site does not have adequate water capacity for the typical
requirement for fire flow. From the north, the lines in Rupple and Salem are fed by
a single six-inch main. The utility department has designed plans for a pressure
reduction project that will restrict connection to the south. In order to have hydrants
in a development in the PZD area, a minimum line size of eight inches must be
provided and it must tie into a line that is eight inches or larger.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is not available to the site. Main extensions will be required to
provide sewer to future development. A downstream capacity study for sewer must
be provided to determine if there are sewer capacity issues. Any capacity issues
will have to be addressed prior to occupancy or final plat of a development.
Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within a FEMA floodplain or the
Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District and there are no hydric soils on site. However, a
protected stream is present. 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 50 feet 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. Any additional improvements or requirements for
drainage will be determined at time of development.
Fire: Station 7, located at 835 N. Rupple Road, protects this site. The property is located
approximately 2.6 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately six minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 8.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus one minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn -out
time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time
goal of six minutes for an engine and eight minutes for a ladder truck. Fire
apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request
Tree Preservation:
The proposed PZD and the existing RSF-4 zoning require 25% minimum canopy
preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates
the property within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood Area.
Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a wide variety
of housing types of appropriate scale and context. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly
connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks. It also
encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity non-residential
uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods. This designation recognizes the existing
conventional subdivision developments that may have large blocks with conventional setbacks
and development patterns that respond to features of the natural environment.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 1-5 for
this site with a weighted score of 5_5 at the highest level. Elements contributing to the highest
score include the following:
• Near Sewer Main (8" main, Ika Lane)
• New Water Main (various mains, Rupple Road and Salem Road)
• Near Public School (Holcomb Elementary School)
• Near City Park (Gary Hampton Softball Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (Rupple Road, Clabber Creek Trail)
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: On the balance of considerations, staff finds the
applicant's request to be compatible with the surrounding area. As
proposed, the planned zoning district would allow for a compact and
complete residential development in close proximity to low -density
subdivisions. While no density maximums are proposed in the residential
planning areas, the subsequent development associated with this PZD is
intended to have a density of 3.7 units per acre based on the information
provided, which is less than the maximum allowed by RSF-4 zoning. Staff
finds that the applicant's request would allow for a compact residential
development that promotes a wide range of housing types, encourages
pedestrian -oriented design, and preserves natural features on site.
Necessary street improvements and extensions and upgrades of water and
sewer mains would be determined and required at the time of development.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the proposed planned zoning district
is somewhat consistent with the City's adopted land use plans. City Plan
2040's Future Land Use Map designates this property as Residential
Neighborhood Area and those areas are intended to encourage a wide range
of housing types which this PZD would allow. While the site has a low infill
score range of 1-5, is located just within city limits, and has limited access
to utilities, staff finds that it would not be encouraging suburban sprawl.
Staff finds that the proposed PZD would be aligned with several goals of City
Plan 2040 including Goal 2 (discouraging suburban sprawl) by allowing for
a compact residential development with urban zoning standards that is
compatible with the surrounding area, Goal 3 (making compact, complete,
and connected development the standard), and Goal 6 (creating
opportunities for 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 the proposed rezoning is justified at this time. The planned
zoning district would allow for development similar in density to the current
zoning while allow for smaller lot sizes, attached units, and the preservation
of natural areas.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The planned zoning district has the potential to impact traffic danger and/or
congestion in this area, though traffic impacts would be comparable to those
generated by development under the current zoning. Two traffic crashes
have been reported along the property's frontage with one at the intersection
of Weir Road and Rupple Road and one along Salem to the east.
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 PZD has the potential to undesirably increase the load on
public services when considering that the property has limited access to
water and sewer at this time, and several upgrades and extensions to water
and sewer mains would be required. 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
4161.35. Planned Zoning Districts (PZD)
(B) Purpose. The intent of the Planned Zoning District is to permit and encourage
comprehensively planned zoning and developments whose purpose is redevelopment,
economic development, cultural enrichment or to provide a single -purpose or mixed -use
planned development and to permit the concurrent processing of zoning and development.
The City Council may consider any of the following factors in review of a Planned Zoning
District application.
(1) Flexibility. Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of
development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts.
(2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
(3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are
harmonious and beneficial to the community.
(4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial
or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of
economic and redevelopment opportunities.
(5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the
area;
(6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and
cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and
in the renewal of existing deteriorating areas.
(7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas
and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land
development regulations.
(8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural
features and amenities.
(9) Future Land Use Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use
yet harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the Future Land Use
Plan.
(10)Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of
geographic location, topography, size or shape.
(11)Recognized zoning consideration. Whether any other recognized zoning consideration
would be violated in this PZD.
Findings: Staff finds that the proposed PZD would provide flexibility with regard to the
variety of housing types, the size of lots, and the density of development
permitted on site. Staff also finds it to be compatible with surrounding land
uses, which are largely residential. The applicant is coordinating with city
staff on required improvements tied to the associated development. More
usable and suitably located open space and other common facilities are
proposed that would not otherwise be required or could be provided under
the property's current zoning. Staff finds that the proposed PZD would allow
for minimal disruption of existing natural features and be compatible with
the goals of the City's future land use plans regarding providing
opportunities for housing, discouraging sprawl, and promoting complete
and compact development.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding PZD-2024-0005 to City Council with a
recommendation of approval and with the following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
1. Any proposed lots without street frontage shall provide adequate access for water, sewer,
and emergency services; and
2. Proposed fire apparatus access roads shall meet requirements as stated by all applicable
fire codes.

Dear Commissioners and Staff,
Flintlock LTD Co on behalf of United Built Homes respectfully submits this Planned Zoning District (PZD) application
for your consideration. The proposed +/-160 residential unit development aims to provide a mix of housing types in a
walkable neighborhood format that prioritizes common green space and natural drainage. This proposed development
achieves City goals by sensitively transitioning density through a mixture of unit types; providing great connectivity; and
offering abundant green space, walkability, and community potential.
The proposed development is wholly in line with the City Plan 2040's primary goals of compact, complete, and
connected growth which is intentional, sustainable, and mixed use. Transit ready and commercial supportive densities
are provided, and housing is centered on low impact development stormwater features.
We believe, and hope you agree, that this development will contribute to the community of Fayetteville and its
aspirations for the future.
Respectfully,

Project Summary
The proposed +/- 160 unit residential development aims to provide achievable housing options for our City's
demographic needs structured in a walkable neighborhood format, with a series of storm parks lined by homes.
The development will include nine parcels (765-21244-200, 765-21244-100, 765-21244-300, 765-21244-400, 765-
21244-500, 765-21244-600, 765-21244-700, 765-21244-800, 001-16726-000) totaling +/- 44 acres and sensitively
preserves over one-third of the planning area as open green space. The entire site is shown as Residential
Neighborhood on the Future Land Use Map and sits directly adjacent a City Neighborhood area to the south. At
+/- 3.6 units per acre, the overall unit density of the proposed development falls below the current allowable four
units per acre, yet this zoning district will allow that density to be gathered together in a pattern that promotes
walkable community and utilizes natural drainages as green stormwater amenities. This proposed development
patterns supports City goals in the housing it offers, the green space it preserves, and its development pattern that
exemplifies City recommendations.

General Project Concept
Street and The project aims to continue the addition of single family home neighborhoods on the northwest
Lot Layout edge of the City yet with a pattern of streets and lots that preserves more green space, respects
natural drainages and their stormwater management performance, and reduces the City's long
term infrastructure management costs. Smaller lots sizes will provide much needed smaller
footprint homes for our dominantly 1-2 person household demographics and walkable age -in -
place homes that are deed restricted for buyers age 55 and over. The lots and their street
connections work with the existing topography to direct stormwater downhill towards places
reserved for tree preservation, landscape buffer, streamside protection, and green amenity
space. The proposed streets plan for and provide future interconnectivity with stub outs to
potential developments to the north, west, and east. The layout also incorporates an existing
home in the northwest corner into the new neighborhood. Because of the restricted geometry
of the site, alleys are utilized throughout to provide rear -loaded access to units. This allows
homes to more attractively face the street and reduces the higher costs of additional fully built
out public streets. The resulting street layout is compliant with block length standards and
ensures accessible access of greenspace and enjoyable and safe pedestrian avenues for all future
residents. Smaller lots with less street frontage allow for lower overall street lengths than
conventional neighborhood development, thereby requiring lower long term costs to maintain
paving, sewer, and water infrastructure.

2 EASTERN PORTION
Buffer Areas The proposed development provides a consistent landscape buffer along Rupple across the
western portion of the planned development, including retention of a large natural draw for
stormwater management. In the eastern portion of the proposed development, a large forested
ravine is preserved along with a continuous strip of existing tree canopy along the southern edge.
Single family homes otherwise line the edge of the planned zoning district and abut other single
Page 5 of 32

family homes on adjacent lots. In the northeast corner, an east -west linear storm park catches
off -site drainage onto the development while acting as a landscape buffer to existing adjacent
single-family homes.
PRESERVE + GREEN AREAS
r
STORMWATER FLOW LINES
Tree The bulk of the property has long been dominantly pastureland or unshaded meadow, yet in the
Preservation past thirty years the patches of trees in the southeast -most portion have spread slowly into
Areas broader coverage through the eastern portion of the planned development. The masterplan and
planning areas preserve the largest portion of this vegetation (a +/- 10-acre area). Initial
estimates promise retention of up to 43% of existing tree canopy, well above the 25%
preservation required by PZDs. This figure does not include the central linear storm park running
east -west on the eastern portion of the site that is likely to require regrading.
Storm Water The masterplan responds to the existing landform and drainage patterns and reserves those
and Detention areas to manage stormwater. On the western portion of the site, these patterns form a "V"
Areas down through the middle of the site and up to the northeast. On the eastern portion of the site,
a large "M" of ridges along the south and southeastern property line is reserved for stormwater
management, and an east -west linear storm park captures additional stormwater across a more
consistently sloped table in the northwest section. Those vegetated areas double as green
amenity spaces.
Undisturbed The southeastern portion of the site is a forested ravine. This approximately 7-acre portion
Natural of the property will be left undeveloped as natural amenity space, hopefully as a public
Areas recreational area. The existing topography suggests that most of site's stormwater will most
efficiently run to the proposed storm park on the western portion of the site, allowing minimal
impact to the more vegetated southeastern portion of the overall site.
Existing and A waterline is proposed to be extended along Howard Nickell Road to the intersection of Hwy
Proposed Utility 112, to provide adequate fire flows to the site while respecting the city's planned low pressure
Connections zone to the south of the property. Sewer access is planned to be provided directly south via
and Extensions easement through to Magnolia Crossings property. Existing utilities are further discussed in

Proposed Planning Areas
The proposed Neighborhood Zones would replace existing Residential Single -Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre
Zoning on the entire +/- 44.0 acres of the site. Neighborhood Zone A accounts of approximately 13.6 acres of the
site, Neighborhood Zone B accounts for approximately 14.2 acres of the site, and Residential - Agriculture makes
up the remaining and largest portion with +/- 16.2 acres. The half west of Rupple is planned to be age -in -place
single -story cottages that are deed restricted for owners 55+. The same units will be built on the portion between
Salem and Rupple but will be open to all buyers for a larger age striation. Unit sizes range from 1,220 sf to 2,050

Proposed Zoning Standards
Planning Area A: Neighborhood Zone
(A) Purpose.
• Provide an appropriately flexible neighborhood buffer to commercial, institutional, and single family
residential uses
• Create a flexible neighborhood pattern with a variety of adaptable building types limited by mass and
height rather than use or unit numbers;
• Promote and maintain the development of diverse housing types at a range of sizes and price points
for a range of household arrangements to meet the needs of all citizens in all phases of life;
• Allow more efficient and flexible use of existing and new housing stock at appropriate densities to
support the long term maintenance of required infrastructure;
(B) Intent. Planning staff shall evaluate the following criteria for suitability of uses in the Neighborhood Zone A:
(1) The property shall have infrastructure (water, sewer, gas, electric, etc.) that meets City standard, in the
minimum easements and land encumbrances to ensure practical maintainability and access to all units
without restricting future adaptations of site usage;
(2) The form and massing of buildings should be scaled and detailed to create an inviting and timeless
neighborhood pattern;
(3) Block structure should be compact and connected, with a preference for alleys and pedestrian
pathways creating additional mid -block connectivity and flexibility;
(4) Buildings should address the street appropriately with visible pedestrian entries on the primary fagade
connected to pedestrian pathways;
(5) Parking and car connectivity should be secondary to safe, walkable, adaptable block structure and
building usage
(6) Building setbacks from the street should be minimized wherever possible to shorten the length of
utility service lines and minimize maintenance and leakage potential;
(7) Side yards are encouraged to be minimized unless functionally useful for building occupants or
necessary for services like trash, stormwater, and utility pedestals. This allows additional units to be
provided and reduces the length of infrastructure required to serve each unit, creating more
financially sustainable neighborhoods;

Analysis of Site Characteristics
The existing site comprises of large gentle ridges with mild to significant slopes into four valleys. The two
southeastern valleys drain south to Clabber Creek, while the northern and western portions meander to the
southwest, eventually draining west-northwest into Clear Creek. Based on historic aerial imagery, since 1965 the
bulk of the property has been and remains clear of woody vegetation, excepting the southeasternmost portion of
the site from which pioneer woody species have spread north over the past two decades. The site does not
include hydric soils, historic wet prairie, or other sensitive ecologies. It is also outside the floodway of Clabber
Creek to the south.

Recreational Facilities
The proposed development includes considerate preserve areas along drainage lines, three linear storm parks for
passive recreation, a +/- 7 acre preserved forested ravine, one neighborhood clubhouse and another smaller
amenity space, and two pocket parks interspersed with single family lots. The site is walkable via existing
sidewalks to the extensive Clabber Creek park and the future Underwood Park facilities and to Holcomb
Elementary % mile to the south-southeast and Holt Middle School 1 mile to the south. The proposed development
also sits on a main artery of the future planned trail extension up Rupple and curving around Howard Nickell to
connect to the NWA Greenway and Mall area.

Reasons a Zoning Change is Required
The current zoning of Residential Single Family — 4 units per acre is not suitable to meet the City's needs for
housing its rapidly increasing population while creating and protecting an enduring green network. Nor does it
facilitate the compact, complete, and connected development of attainable and appropriately sized housing to
which the City aspires, especially adjacent the Tier 3 center directly to the south on Fayetteville's Growth Concept
Map. The compact, walkable, and deliberate development proposed here is the kind of development described in
the City Plan 2040 that creates livable communities that require less investment in infrastructure by the City. Refer
to Sections J and K following this section for more discussion of these elements.

Relation to Existing and Surrounding Properties
The surrounding properties to the north outside City limits are larger lot single family residences and estate
residential strips tucked into the forested hills. Patterned southeast towards Holcomb Elementary are RSF-8 and
RSF-4 neighborhoods with minimal to no green space. Catty -corner to the southwest down Rupple is a +/- 4.7 acre
Neighborhood Services — General site that may soon provide some of the commercial services and feel desired by
its City Neighborhood designation in the Future Land Use plan. This proposed neighborhood development
compatibly blends the compact footprints of attainable and age -in -place neighborhoods with the more rural
natural setting of the County properties to the northwest through its intentional preservation of green space and
provides a natural variety of housing product and price points with a walkable community structure.

The project site is part of a planned Tier 3 Center at N Rupple Road and W Weir Road. Tier Three Centers are
intended to serve the immediately surrounding residential areas and will cater to the specific needs of a small
market. As a result, no two will be the same. Some may be characterized by one or two commercial and/or multi-
family buildings located on a single intersection while others develop into a mixed -use core extending over
multiple blocks and serving a broad mix of housing. The nodal nature of Tier Three Centers are important for
providing a unique sense of place to a neighborhood. Tier Three Centers shown on The Growth Concept Map are
not intended to be inclusive of all non-residential services that may be identified at a neighborhood -scale analysis.
Neighborhood -scale and micro -retail locations are embedded within the general land use policies discussed
throughout City Plan, not on the Growth Concept Map. The project site is also located with frontage on a Regional
Link along Rupple Road.
The proposed development is wholly in line with the City Plan 2040's primary goals of compact, complete, and
connected growth which is intentional, sustainable, and mixed use. Transit ready and commercial supportive
densities are provided, and housing is centered on low impact development stormwater features and attainable
age -in -place homes. The retention of green space and the compact walkable neighborhood design promotes this
area as a peaceful community on the shoulder of the City Neighborhood Tier 3 hub.

Figure 3.4 - Rural
Goal 3 Objectives
3.3.1 Require new growth that results in neighborhoods, districts and
corridors that are:
• Compact — via denser housing; meaningful open spaces and preserves; small
blocks
• Complete — via housing; mixed uses; civic uses; jobs -housing mix in the
neighborhoods
• Connected — via street -oriented buildings; interconnected streets;
interconnected greenways and trails
3.3.2 Prepare a transit -worthy community: increase density in highly
walkable areas along logical future transit routes, and anticipate rail,
street cars and other alternative transit modes.
The 71B College Avenue Corridor Plan provides a framework for incrementally re-
developing this major thoroughfare into a series of inter -connected and livable mixed -use
districts. The City can provide redevelopment catalyst by making capital investments in
increased street, sidewalk and trail connectivity.
3.3.3 Increase the viability of businesses by leveraging the economic
performance of appealing environments that are mixed -use, walkable,
and integrated with green space.
The Razorback Regional Greenway illustrates the ability of the City to leverage capital
investments in trail infrastructure to drive economic development. The City created the
Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trail Plan in 2003 and began building the Scull
Creek Trail with $2.1 million in funding provided by a bond issue passage. Additional yearly
Capital Improvement Project funding of $1.3 million annually was used to build -out the
remainder of the trail. The economic development catalyst that the trail provided is evidenced
by the residential and commercial development occurring in nodes along the trail spine in
south Fayetteville, throughout downtown/Dickson Street, in mid -town around Poplar Street,
and throughout the uptown district along Mud Creek.

The Proposed development's location in a Residential Neighborhood Area and directly adjacent a City
Neighborhood Area reflects the creatively gathered density and emphasis on walkability that is required to support
the Tier Center and Transit Readiness Goals of the City. Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential
in nature and support a wide variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context: single-family, duplexes,
rowhouses, multifamily and accessory dwelling units. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly connected,
compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks. It also encourages traditional
neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity non-residential uses intended to serve the surrounding
neighborhoods, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting corridors. This designation recognizes
existing conventional subdivision developments which may have large blocks with conventional setbacks and
development patterns that respond to features of the natural environment. Building setbacks may vary depending
on the context of the existing neighborhood. The following guiding policies are designed to encourage future and
existing residential neighborhoods to be or become more complete, compact and connected:
• Encourage a block and street layout that promotes walkable and bicycle friendly road designs with slow
vehicular design speeds.
• Utilize principles of traditional residential urban design to create compatible, livable and accessible
neighborhoods.
• Eliminate designs elements that prohibit complete, compact and connected neighborhoods.
• Protect and restore Fayetteville's outstanding residential architecture of all periods and styles.
Page 23 of 32
Foxtail Meadows Planned Zoning District
• Encourage the scale of new development to be compatible in use and proportionality between a variety
of residential and non-residential uses.
• Site new residential areas accessible to roadways, sidewalks, trails, transit, parklands, schools, existing
utilities, and retail commercial goods and services.
• Minimize through traffic on minor residential streets, while providing connections between
neighborhoods to encourage openness and neighborliness.
• Continue to encourage context -sensitive streets, allowing for efficient access to commercial residential
areas for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

Traffic Study
A traffic study has not been deemed necessary at this time. Off Site Improvements will be determined at the time of
development review. We would like to note that the age -restricted use of the property west of Rupple Road is likely
to decrease traffic incident with the development significantly.
M
Impacts on City Services
The development in question would add public water, sewer and street improvements to the city as well as add to
the sidewalk connectivity to the city's network. The project would also require trash service, fire department
services, and police services. The City has stated it cannot provide a letter guaranteeing any project service until
that project has been approved, yet extensive coordination with water and sewer capacity has been completed in
advance of the PZD. The developer understands the required water and sewer upgrades that will be required to
serve the project. Existing utility connections are shown below.

Planned Zoning District Intent Fulfillment
Flexibility While this project's design and philosophy is wholly in line with the City of Fayetteville's City Plan
2040 goals, the project requires the flexibility of a Planned Zoning District to achieve two
elements: townhouses in sets of more than 4 contiguous units and alley -loaded units facing a
park rather than a street right of way. In all other ways, the project could be developed under
typical existing form -based zones. The flexibility of a PZD provides the project with the
opportunity to provide more traditional townhouse blocks of 5 and 6 contiguous units and
platted fee simple lots facing green space. This arrangement allows for density more in line with
the city's goals, demographic and housing cost needs of citizens, and provides the opportunity
for additional common natural space. Units with front porches that face directly onto a park
allow young children to safely play together in park space right outside the front door, without
the danger of crossing the street, and within the safe view of parents sitting on front porches and
stoops. The public "right of way" as park maintains all the pedestrian connectivity and social
connection of a neighborhood street, but replaces the large space typically dedicated to cars in
the right of way to playing children and low impact development stormwater storage.
Compatibility The surrounding properties to the north outside City limits are larger lot single family residences
and estate residential strips tucked into the forested hills. Patterned southeast towards Holcomb
Elementary are RSF-8 and RSF-4 neighborhoods with minimal to no green space. Catty -corner to
the southwest down Rupple is a +/- 4.7 acre Neighborhood Services — General site that may soon
provide some of the commercial services and feel desired by its City Neighborhood designation in
the Future Land Use plan. This proposed neighborhood development compatibly blends the
compact footprints of attainable and age -in -place neighborhoods with the more rural natural
setting of the County properties to the northwest through its intentional preservation of a large
percentage of the site's most sensitive ecological areas and provides a natural variety of housing
product and price points with a walkable community structure.
Harmony The PZD allows for an orderly and creative provision of housing in a walkable format with
densities appropriate to the area and the supporting infrastructure in the neighborhood.
Variety The proposed neighborhood provides a variety of unit types, uses, and price points for residents
not typically found in an exclusionary single family neighborhood. The age -restricted western
portion of the develop provides 2-3 bedroom units that address a critical market need for
attainable age -in -place residences. The inclusion of multi -family housing by right in this PZD is
purely a result of desiring to provide more traditional runs of townhouses with 5-9 contiguous
buildings.
No Negative The development provides no negative effect upon the future development of the area,
Impacts providing a complete, compact, and connected street network and a flexible, traditional block
structure that allows future flexibility and redevelopment within the neighborhood.
Coordination The land surrounding the property to the south is largely already developed. Connections and
rational edge to the development have been provided to the future development to the west,
the large single family parcels to the northeast, and potential future connectivity to the east.
These measures plan for future development and urbanization so they may occur in a
coordinated and coherent manner.
Open Space One of the primary benefits of the PZD approach for the development of this site is allowing the
provision of more usable and suitably located open space for recreation than would otherwise be
possible under typical zoning regulations.
Page 31 of 32
Foxtail Meadows Planned Zoning District
Natural Features The plan for the proposed development exemplifies the aims of PZDs to provide "maximum
enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural features and amenities." The existing
landforms and drainage patterns are respected and celebrated through their integration into
functional stormwater management and open green space amenity. The steep, wooded ravines
on the eastern portion of the proposed development are intentionally preserved to minimize
siltation and runoff for better water quality as well as to retain canopy coverage and natural
habitat that can be sensitively enjoyed for passive recreation.
Future Land The PZD's careful layout of planning areas secures considerately gathered density as a means to
Use Plan nurture the postcard aspiration of traditional communities with neighbors chatting from porch to
porch and preservation of natural areas that are harmoniously consistent with the guiding
policies of the Future Land Use Plan.
Special Features The site's topography and drainage patterns present challenges to providing dense enough
development without significant earthwork and engineered stormwater management. The
geometry and dimensions of the site makes efficient, rear loaded units a challenge. The PZD's
innovative approach to frontages and careful attendance to planning area layout allow for a
reasonable density and unit mix that would be challenging under typical zoning regulations.
Recognized The proposed zoning approach is novel and allows a degree of flexibility use designed to reduce
Zoning car trips and increase the walkability and resilience of the neighborhood. It does allow
Consideration several things not currently typical to the city's zoning regulations, as is appropriate and
intentional to the concept of PZD's within the city.

RE: Foxtail Meadows PZD (PZD-2024-0005)
From Michael Mauldin <mike@mauldinvaught.com>
Date Sun 10/13/2024 1:12 PM
To Harrison, Gretchen <gharrison@fayetteville-ar.gov>
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.
Hello Gretchen, thank you for your email. I wanted to take you up on your offer to reply with concerns.
In short, I oppose the PZD request.
Compatibility
• Page 1 of the memo lists surrounding land uses and zoning. The surrounding land in All directions
list 1 unit per acre. This proposed high -density development is not compatible with the
surrounding land.
• Page 2 lists planning areas A and B will provide for single- and multi -family dwellings with no
density limitation. The nearest multi -family units are miles away.. This is not compatible with the
surrounding land.
Density
• The current zoning for portions (not all) of the proposed development is RSF-4. On page 3, staff
describe the density to be 3.7 units per acre which is less than the current RSF-4. However, once
you only consider the Areas A and LB (totaling 27.8 acres) that will be used for construction of the
160 units, the density will be 5.75 units per acre. Therefore, the lot sizes (with minimum setbacks
and/or zero lot lines) are much smaller than RSF-4 neighborhoods in the area. This is mentioned
again later under Drainage concerns. Neither the density nor the lot sizes of the PZD are
compatible with the surrounding land.
Infrastructure
• Streets — all 160 units will only access a small 2-lane portion of N Rupple Rd. No curb and gutter
and no sidewalk. Staff describe access to Salem Rd, but the plans show no outlet on Salem.
Unless the developer is required to install and connect to existing curb and gutter and sidewalks,,
residents and pedestrians would be required to share this narrow 2-lane portion of Rupple Rd.
• Water — the waterline isn't large enough to provide adequate water capacity for fire flow to properly_
protect this development.
• Sewer — sewer is not available to the site. Even if the developer paid to extend the sewer to the
site, I don't see where the city would benefit after this one development. Surrounding land is
already developed and utilizes septic.
• Drainage —
o My property adjoins the North side of Phase 1. When we built our home 10 years ago, we
were required to install a special cap and fill septic system because the water table was too
high. Phase 1 sits lower than our property.
o There's a large storm water pipe between my house and the Harris house. The water runs
into the Phase 1 field and ultimately in the pond or on down the hill. I need to make sure
https://outlook.office.com/mail/id/AAQkADY3NjUwZjlwLTVmODAtNDk2YiliMW11LWQ3YzUOZjQ1 MZEZNQAQAAdW46VCNHJKhlIIOk%2B5m00%3D 1/3
10/30/24, 11:58 PM

that storm water will continue to flow as good, if not better, than it already does after the
property is developed. If the developer brings in a bunch of dirt and stops the flow of water,
I've got to make sure it's got somewhere to go. The amount of water is often substantial.
o During Spring downpours, a large portion of Phase 1 (which has a large low area) has had
standing water for some time. This makes me concerned it may have severe soil saturation
issues.
o The initial plans show lot sizes that will allow for little to no greenspace around the houses.
This, in addition to having a substantial amount of hard surfaces from both streets and alleys
makes me concerned of the sites ability to process/absorb runoff with no impact to
surrounding properties. I would expect the need for a detention pond separate from the
protected area around the stream in Phase 1, but I don't see one on the plans provided.
Fire - The anticipated response time would be 8.2 minutes. This development would be within city
limits and not meet the City's response time goal of 6 minutes.
Infill Matrix... here is the Al Overview of the City Plan 2040 Infill Matrix:
• Infill scores are typically low, around 5-6, but can increase if park improvements and other
services are constructed nearby. The city's goal is to create compact, connected, and complete
neighborhoods in an area with many employment opportunities but limited housing.
• Concerns
o The score range was 1-5 for this site which is lower than the (low) 5-6 mentioned above.
o This neighborhood would not be connected. It's isolated because it's surrounded by
Agricultural Single -Family Residential (1 unit per acre).
d Depending on the requirement for the developer to install curb and cutter and connect to
existing sidewalks, a portion of a residents -1 mile walk to reach the softball park or paved
trail would be on a narrow 2-lane road with no curb and gutter or sidewalks. The walk back
could be intense for some in the 55+ community because it's up a steep hill.
o Unless all residents want to work at Holcomb Elementary, there are no employment
opportunities in the area to meet the infill matrix goal of providing housing near employment
opportunities.
Summary
This development is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It's trying to provide for urban infill on land
that is barely in city limits where there is not adequate infrastructure ... streets, water, sewer, drainage, or
fire.
When staff uses phrases like "on the balance of considerations" or the proposed PZD is "somewhat
consistent with the City's adopted land use plans", it just feels like this development is being forced for
some reason.
I respectfully request the PZD proposal not be approved. A large portion of the development is already
zoned RSF-4 which is closer to compatible with neighborhoods in the area. This PZD proposal (that
literally sets no density limits) is not compatible with any neighborhoods I can think of in the NW corner
of the City ... yet alone on the very outskirts of city limits surrounded by 1 unit per acre properties.
Thank you,
Mike

Gretchen,
I live next door to Mike Mauldin. The proposed Foxtail Meadows community will abut my house.
