CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: REZONING-2025-0001: (903 W. NORTH ST./JORDAN GROUP LLC, 444):
RECOMMENDATION:
2025-262
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 at the intersection of W. North Street and N. Storer Avenue. The
property is zoned R-O, Residential Office and overall contains approximately 0.11 acres over three parcels.
The property is developed with a 1700-square foot, vacant structure that County records indicate was used as
a veterinary hospital. No overlay districts or other natural features are present on site, but there is an
approximately 20% downward slope from south to W. North Street, and there is significant tree canopy on the
undeveloped portions of the site. A site improvement plan for a ten -unit townhome development which includes
a larger 0.50-acre subject area is currently under review (SIP-2024-0008) and an associated right-of-way
vacation request was approved by City Council on February 18, 2025 (VAC-2024-0027).
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from R-O, Residential Office to RMF-40, Residential
Multifamily, Forty Units per Acre.
Public Comment: Staff did not receive any public comment relating to the rezoning request.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the requested rezoning is compatible with surrounding land uses. The
subject property is located near central Fayetteville north of the University of Arkansas main campus. The
RMF-40 zoning designation requested for this property matches the properties to the south, east, and west,
and is generally surrounded by either multifamily residential or commercial uses when considering the wider
area. The subject property is also near institutional uses such as Saint James Baptist Church, the University of
Arkansas, and Leverett Elementary School, and neighborhood services such as Harps Grocery and the
Razorback Greenway. Staff finds that rezoning the corner to align with the surrounding zoning is unlikely to
negatively impact surrounding properties.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that a rezoning to RMF-40 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. The property
also has 11 attributes in the infill matric and is located approximately 800 feet from a Tier 2 center at the
intersection of W. North St. and N. Garland Ave. City Plan 20240 describes Tier 2 centers as "exist[ing] to
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
provide services and employment to residents within two to three miles [and] characterized by housing that
ranges from one- to three-story detached dwellings, duplexes, row houses, and mid -rise apartments." Staff
finds that the requested RMF-40 zoning is in line with this designation and would allow for increased
development in character with surrounding properties and its proximity to a regional high activity link street.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 11 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
1. Adequate Fire Response (Station 2, located at 138 W. North St.)
2. Near Sewer Main (6-inch main in N. Storer Ave.)
3. Near Water Main (10-inch main in W. North St.)
4. Near Grocery Store (Harps)
5. Near Public School (Leverett Elementary)
6. Near U of A Campus
7. Near City Park (Scull Creek Parkland)
8. Near Paved Trail (Garland Ave Trail, Razorback Greenway.)
9. Near Razorback Transit Stop (Colonial Arms, South Creekside, Harps)
10. Appropriate Future Land Use
11. Sufficient Intersection Density
DISCUSSION:
At the February 24, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 6-0-0 forwarded the request to City Council
with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Payne motioned and Commissioner Werner seconded.
There was no discussion and no members of the public spoke at the meeting.

SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0001: Rezoning (903 W. NORTH ST/JORDAN GROUP LLC,
444): Submitted by BATES & ASSOCIATES for property located at 903 W.
NORTH ST. The property is zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL -OFFICE and
contains approximately 0.11 acres. The request is to rezone the property
to RMF-40, RESIDENTIAL MULTI -FAMILY, 40 UNITS PER ACRE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2025-0001 to City Council with a recommendation of
approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
`7 move to forward RZN-2025-0001 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval."
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in central Fayetteville at the intersection of W. North Street and N. Storer
Avenue. The property is zoned R-O, Residential Office and overall contains approximately 0.11
acres over three parcels. The property is developed with a 1700 sq. ft. vacant structure that
County records indicate was used as a veterinary hospital, but which is currently vacant. No
overlay districts or other natural features are present on site, but there is an approximately 20%
change in grade moving as the property moves south from W. North Street, and there is significant
tree canopy on the undeveloped portions of the site. A site improvement plan for a ten -unit
townhome development which includes a larger 0.50-acre subject area is currently under review
(SIP-2024-0008) and an associated right-of-way vacation request was approved by City Council
on February 18, 2025 (VAC-2024-0027). Surrounding land uses and zoning are depicted below

Public Comment: Staff has not received any public comment at this time.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Streets: The subject property has frontage to W. North St. and N. Storer Ave. W. North St.
is a partially improved regional link high activity street with asphalt paving, curb
and gutter, storm drain, and sidewalk at back of curb. N. Storer Ave. is a partially
improved residential link street with asphalt paving and curb and gutter along the
property's frontage. Any street or drainage improvements required in these areas
would be determined at the time of development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the subject property. There is an existing 6-inch water
main present at the southeast corner of the property along N. Storer Ave.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject property. There is an existing 10-inch
sanitary sewer main along the south side of W. North St.
Drainage: No protected streams, FEMA Floodplain, or hydric soils are identified on the
subject property. No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside/Hilltop
Overlay District.
Fire: Fire apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Station 2, located at 138 W. North St., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 0.6 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 2 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 4.2 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.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed zoning district, RMF-40, Residential Multifamily, 40 Units per Acre,
requires 20% 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 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 11 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, located at 138 W. North St.)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main in N. Storer Ave.)
• Near Water Main (10-inch main in W. North St.)
• Near Grocery Store (Harps)

• Near Razorback Transit Stop (Colonial Arms, South Creekside, Harps)
• Appropriate Future Land Use
• 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 near central
Fayetteville just north of the University of Arkansas main campus. The
subject area directly abuts the requested zoning district to the south, east,
and west, and is generally surrounded by either multifamily residential or
commercial uses when considering the wider area. The subject property is
also near institutional uses such as Saint James Baptist Church, the
University of Arkansas, and Leverett Elementary School, and neighborhood
services such as Harps Grocery and the Razorback Greenway. Staff finds
that rezoning the corner to align with the surrounding zoning is unlikely to
negatively impact surrounding properties.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that a rezoning to RMF-40 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. The property
also has a high infill score of 11 and is located approximately 800 feet from
a Tier 2 center at the intersection of W. North St. and N. Garland Ave. City
Plan 20240 describes Tier 2 centers as "exist[ing] to provide services and
employment to residents within two to three miles [and] characterized by
housing that ranges from one- to three- story detached dwellings, duplexes,
row houses, and mid -rise apartments." Staff finds that this rezoning is in line
with this designation. Staff finds that a rezoning to RMF-40 would allow for
increased development that would be in character with surrounding
properties and its proximity to a regional high activity link street.
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 RMF-40. 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 RMF-40 would only increase the number of permitted
units within the rezoning area from two units to four when considering its
size, staff finds this is unlikely to appreciably increase traffic danger or
congestion.
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 recommends forwarding RZN-2025-0001 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

RE: Storer Townhomes Rezoning
Dear Planning Staff,
The existing adjacent properties are currently zoned as RMF-40 and RMF-24. We are proposing
the rezone from R-O to RMF-40 which meets the adjacent land use. The exhibit on the next page
is depicting the existing zoning as well as the neighboring properties. The proposed request for
the rezone will not adversely affect the surrounding land use due to the request matching the
adjacent properties current zoning.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Bates & Associates, Inc.
