CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 2025 CITY COUNCIL MEMO 2024-01080 TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director Jessica Masters, Development Review Manager FROM: Wesley Frank, Planner SUBJECT: RZN-2024-0056: Rezoning (1520 W. SLIGO/ MCDONALD BUILDING GROUP, 599): Submitted by ENGINEERING SERVICES INC for property located at 1520 W. SLIGO ST. in WARD 1. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.41 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-12, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE, 12 UNITS PER ACRE. 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 southwest Fayetteville less than 0.1 miles west of the intersection of W. Sligo St. and S. Razorback Rd. The property contains approximately 0.41 acres and is developed with a single-family dwelling that straddles two parcels. Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-4, Residential Single -Family to RI-12, Residential Intermediate, Twelve (12) Units Per Acre. Public Comment: To date, staff have received no public comment. Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-12 to be compatible with the surrounding area. The subject property is adjacent to properties with multiple zoning designations, including RSF-4, RI-12, RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 Units per Acre, and CS, Community Services. This is reflected in a diversity of nearby housing that includes single-, 2-, and multi -family dwellings. A rezoning to RI- 12 would allow for the by -right development of detached and attached dwellings with a density of up to twelve units per acre and the RI-12 zoning district permits lot widths and areas that sit generally in-between the RSF-4 and RMF-24 allowances. Accordingly, staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with surrounding land uses and provides opportunities for increased housing opportunities. 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. A rezoning to RI-12 could allow for the creation, or maintenance, of residential properties with reduced lot sizes and offer some flexibility in housing types. Staff finds that the requested rezoning could allow for the creation of missing middle housing that meets City Goals 1: We Will Make Appropriate Infill and Revitalization our Highest Priority and 6: We Will Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Create Opportunities for Attainable Housing. As this property lies within the Fayette Neighborhood Junction, staff finds that development under the RI-12 zoning allowances will compliment the master plan's goal of diversifying housing options in a crucial area. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 10 for this site. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, 900 S. Hollywood Ave) • Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, W. Sligo St.) • Near Water Main (6-inch main, W. Sligo St.) • Near City Park (Town Branch Park) • Near U of A Campus • Near Paved Trail (Town Branch Park) • Near ORT Bus Stop (Baum Stadium) • Near Razorback Bus stop (15th & Razorback) • Appropriate Land Use • Within Master Plan Area (Fayette Junction Neighborhood) DISCUSSION: At the December 9, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, a motion to forward with a recommendation of approval passed with a unanimous vote of 9-0-0. Commissioner Wener made the motion and Commissioner Cabe provided the second. Commissioners did not have any comment on the item. No public comment was offered at the meeting.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend forwarding RZN-2024-0056 to City Council with a recommendation of approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to forward RZN-2024-0056 to City Council with a recommendation of approval." BACKGROUND: The subject property is in southwest Fayetteville approximately less than 0.1 miles west of W. Sligo St. and S. Razorback Rd. The property contains approximately 0.41 acres and is developed for a single-family dwelling. The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single -Family 4-units per Acre. Surrounding land uses and zoning are listed in Table 1.

Public Comment: To date, staff have received no public comment. Planning Commission December 9, 2024 RZN-2024-0056 (MCDONALD BUILDING GROUP) Paqe 1 of 16 INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Streets: This property has frontage to West Sligo Street, a partially improved residential link, with asphalt paving and curb and gutter. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of development proposal. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development. Water: Public water is available to the subject area. There is an existing 6-inch water line present along West Sligo Street. There are known wet weather sewer capacity issues identified in the City's 2021 Sewer Master Plan that appear in the system approximately 900 linear feet downstream of this property. Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject area. There is an existing 6-inch sanitary sewer main present within West Sligo Street. Drainage: This property has frontage to West Sligo Street, a partially improved residential link, with asphalt paving and curb and gutter. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of development proposal. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development. Hydric soils appear to be present in a small portion of the northeastern corner of the subject property. 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. Fire: Station 6, located at 900 S. Hollywood Ave., protects this site. The property is located approximately 1.1 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. Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request. Planning Commission December 9, 2024 RZN-2024-0056 (MCDONALD BUILDING GROUP) Paqe 2 of 16 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-12, Residential Intermediate 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 Neighborhood Area are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and provide a mix of non-residential and residential uses. Council adopted the Fayette 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. The property is located in the Fayette Junction Master Plan. Council adopted this master plan in the Spring of 2009 to better understand current usage and opportunities to better anticipate future needs for a unique area. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score range of 10 for this site with a weighted score of 11.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, 900 S. Hollywood Ave) • Near Sewer Main (6-inch main, W. Sligo St.) • Near Water Main (6-inch main, W. Sligo St.) • Near City Park (Town Branch Park) • Near U of A Campus • Near Paved Trail (Town Branch Park) • Near ORT Bus Stop (Baum Stadium) • Near Razorback Bus stop (15th & Razorback) • Appropriate Land Use • Within Master Plan Area (Fayette Junction Neighborhood) 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- 12 be compatible with the surrounding area. The subject property is adjacent to RI-12-zoned single-family property across S. Ashwood Ave. to the west and properties developed with single-family homes to the west and properties zoned multi -family to the north and south. A rezoning to RI- 12 would allow for the by -right development of detached and attached dwellings with a density of up to twelve units per acre. RSF-4 and RI-12 have significantly different bulk and area requirements. Lot width minimum in RI-12 is 50 feet for both single-family and two-family, and 90 feet for three- and four -family; but in RSF-4 is only 70 feet. Lot area minimum in RI- 12 is 5,000 square feet for single-family, 7,260 square feet for two-family, Planning Commission December 9, 2024 RZN-2024-0056 (MCDONALD BUILDING GROUP) Paqe 3 of 16 and 10,890 square feet for three- and four -family, but in RSF-4 is 8,000 square feet (.18 acres). Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with surrounding land uses and provides opportunities for increased housing opportunities. 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. A rezoning to RI-12 could allow for the creation, or maintenance, of residential properties with reduced lot sizes and offer some flexibility in housing types. Staff finds that the requested rezoning could allow for the creation of missing middle housing that meets City Goals 1: We Will Make Appropriate Infill and Revitalization our Highest Priority and 6: We Will Create Opportunities for Attainable Housing. As this property lies within the Fayette Neighborhood Junction, it will comply with the master plan's goal of diversifying housing options in a crucial area. 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-12 since the proposed rezoning would be consistent with the property's future land use designation and supports several goals of City Plan 2040. 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-12 does have the potential to increase traffic danger and congestion due to increased density and additional curb cuts. Courts have established a precedent that properties with frontage to a public street have a legal right to access the street, therefore additional curb cuts could be added and increase traffic danger and congestion along W. Sligo St. However, 166.08(F)(2)(b) does states that "curb cuts shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from an intersection or driveway" along residential link streets. 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 alter the population density since it would allow for increased 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 Planning Commission December 9, 2024 RZN-2024-0056 (MCDONALD BUILDING GROUP) Paqe 4 of 16 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-2024-0056 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.

The property to be rezoned includes two parcels, 765-08390-000 and 765-08391-000, both of which are owned by McDonald Building Group, LLC. The property is located along the north side of West Sligo Street between South Ashwood Avenue and South Razorback Road. The property was originally platted as part of the Meadow Vale Subdivision. The property is being rezoned to allow for future residential development of the property. There is an existing structure on the property which the owner intends to remove and replace with new residential structures. Prior to submitting this application, planning staff were consulted regarding the appropriate zoning district to request. Staff suggested RI-12 would be the preferred district for several reasons: • The requested district would be compatible with surrounding properties/uses in that there are several nearby properties that are already in the requested district. • Planning Commission has indicated their approval/desire for this district in the area by recently approving the rezoning of other properties in the area into this district. Two recents examples include RZN-2024-0033 for 2.4 acres located at the intersection of West Sligo Street/Ashwood Avenue and RZN-2024-0034 for 9.1 acres along the north side of West 18t" Street. • The requested district would allow for the proposed future development. Density, bulk and area regulations, building setbacks, and allowed uses are all compatible with the owner's proposed development of the site. • The requested district is "right -sized". RI-12 district would accommodate the proposed development, but also minimizes the possibility of a different, unwanted, incompatible, or significantly more dense development of the property might occur following approval of the rezoning. Planning Commission December 9, 2024 RZN-2024-0056 (MCDONALD BUILDING GROUP) Pace 10 of 16 October 25, 2024 1520 W Sligo Street Rezoning Page 2 The future land use plan designates this area as City Neighborhood. City Plan 2030 states: "City Neighborhood Areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and provide a varying mix of nonresidential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single family to multifamily." No issues related to the ability of existing infrastructure to support future development of the property are apparent. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
