CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2025-1392
MEETING OF AUGUST 19, 2025
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THRU: Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Jessica Masters, Planning Director
SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0025: Rezoning (VARIOUS PARK PROPERTIES/ FAYETTEVILLE PARKS,
NATURAL RESOURCES AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS): Submitted by CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE STAFF for VARIOUS PARK PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE
CITY LIMITS OF FAYETTEVILLE in VARIOUS WARDS. The properties are in VARIOUS
ZONING DISTRICTS and total approximately 180.84 acres. The request is to rezone
the properties to P-1, INSTITUTIONAL.
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 properties are owned by the City of Fayetteville and managed by the City of Fayetteville
Department of Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs. A wide-ranging collection of properties
encompassing approximately 180.84 acres of City-owned land, the properties vary in size, scale, and level of
development. They range from small, undeveloped neighborhood parks and green spaces that have been
acquired through parkland dedication, to parks that are developed with larger, regional Fayetteville attractions.
While non-conforming properties can continue to exist and be maintained, code prohibits the expansion or
reconstruction of those facilities if they are not in compliance with current zoning standards. The City also
recently adopted the Parks Master Plan in February 2023 (Imagine Tomorrow’s Parks), which established
guiding principles and goals for the next ten years. The full list of properties under consideration can be found
in Table 1.
Request: City of Fayetteville Department of Parks, Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs requests to rezone
the subject properties from their current zoning designations (various) to P-1, Institutional. This rezoning
request is intended to align Parks-owned properties with the correct zoning designation.
Public Comment: Staff have received many inquiries from the public about the proposal, but not many direct
comments in opposition or support of the request. Rather, most members of the public that staff spoke to were
satisfied upon learning that the effort was to make sure that Parks properties were zoned correctly. Members
of the public did ask questions regarding any planned development on the heels of this rezoning, and were
directed to the Parks department directly for feedback on future development and master planning processes.
Further, the Parks department held a neighborhood meeting with the Rocky Branch neighborhood to discuss
the proposal and hear feedback; some residents in that neighborhood were concerned about certain properties
becoming parkland, and issued comments to that effect at the July 28 Planning Commission meeting as well.
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the proposed zoning change is compatible with surrounding land uses.
The properties are already being used as parks facilities and trails, though with different classifications
associated with them. The Parks Department uses 8 different classifications of parks: Regional Parks,
Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Non-City Parks, Special Use, Natural Area, Undeveloped Parks, and
Trail Corridors and Greenways. Each designation has a specific set of criteria, and staff finds those criteria can
be met with a rezoning to the P-1 zoning district, especially with the consideration for the adoption of new
standards to apply to that district.
The Regional Parks are meant to have a regional draw and have direct access from arterial streets and access
to regional trail systems. Zoning these locations as P-1 would allow for the continuation of the existing uses,
such as lakes, trails, and the redevelopment of ball and playfields. The Neighborhood Parks under
consideration are typically 2 to 10 acres in size and are meant to provide leisure opportunities (including
playfields, and shaded areas for gathering) within walking distance of individual neighborhoods. The uses,
setbacks, and allowances in P-1 would allow for the continuation of these neighborhood needs to be met, by
allowing for Use Unit 4 by-right, where many of those neighborhood parks are currently zoned for residential
uses. Many of the parks under consideration with this request are currently “Undeveloped.” Undeveloped parks
differ from “Natural Areas” in that they are not necessarily intended to remain undeveloped but have perhaps
not yet been improved in accordance with long-term plans. Many of the parks in this classification have only
been acquired within the last decade through parkland dedication with associated residential developments.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning to P-1, Institutional is compatible with the Future Land Use
Map, which in most instances (though not all) identify the areas in question as Civic and Private Open Space.
By rezoning to P-1, these parks can be redeveloped to help meet future goals and needs to meet the
neighborhoods and immediate communities that they serve. If they are to stay in their existing zoning districts
(such as RSF-1, NC, or I-1), the City would have a more difficult time implementing the 2023 Parks Master
Plan, and would involve a more piecemeal approach to rezoning these properties. Staff finds that taking this
broader approach saves City resources and time instead of rezoning at the time of a specific development
proposal or funding opportunity.
DISCUSSION:
At the July 28, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission voted to forward the item with a
recommendation of approval with a vote of 8-1-0 (Commissioner Payne was opposed, though offered no
comment on the opposition). Most members of the Commission were in favor, finding that the item appeared to
be in line with the City’s long-term land use plans for parkland. Three members of the public spoke at the
meeting, and their concerns are addressed above.

*Police did not comment on the proposed rezonings. 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.
Available infrastructure needs would be evaluated at the time of a development proposal from the
Parks Department.
Tree Preservation: The proposed zoning district of P-1, Institutional requires 25% minimum
canopy preservation.
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
1. 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 proposed zoning change is
compatible with surrounding land uses. The properties are already being
used as parks facilities and trails, though with different classifications
associated with them. The Parks Department uses 8 different classifications
of parks: Regional Parks, Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Non-City
Parks, Special Use, Natural Area, Undeveloped Parks, and Trail Corridors
and Greenways. Each designation has a specific set of criteria, and staff
finds those criteria can be met with a rezoning to the P-1 zoning district,
especially with the consideration for the adoption of new standards to apply
to that district.
The Regional Parks are meant to have a regional draw and have direct
access from arterial streets and access to regional trail systems. Zoning
these locations as P-1 would allow for the continuation of the existing uses,
such as lakes, trails, and the redevelopment of ball and playfields. The
Neighborhood Parks under consideration are typically 2 to 10 acres in size

Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning to P-1, Institutional is
compatible with the Future Land Use Map, which in most instances (though
not all) identify the areas in question as Civic and Private Open Space. By
rezoning to P-1, these parks can be redeveloped to help meet future goals
and needs to meet the neighborhoods and immediate communities that they
serve. If they are to stay in their existing zoning districts (such as RSF-1, NC,
or I-1), the City would have a more difficult time implementing the 2023 Parks
Master Plan, and would involve a more piecemeal approach to rezoning
these properties. Staff finds that taking this broader approach saves City
resources and time instead of rezoning at the time of a specific development
proposal or funding opportunity.
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 recommended zoning is justified and needed to avoid
issues in the future with any expansion of a non-conforming use, and to
ensure that city-owned property is zoned accordingly. While this proposed
zoning change may not identify all future changing needs of the Parks,
Natural Resources, and Cultural Affairs Department, staff finds that zoning
the property to the established zoning district for parks and associated
cultural and recreational facilities to be an appropriate course of action and
protects the public interest.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: Rezoning the properties will not likely increase traffic danger or congestion
in a manner that is inconsistent with the way the properties are already used.
No redevelopment plans are currently underway, and the properties have
already been acquired and used for parks and recreational purposes. With
any proposed development, full impact on traffic and congestion would be
evaluated at that time.
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 properties will not substantially increase the potential
population density or load on public services. The proposed rezoning
districts are substantially compatible with the existing development patterns
and uses that currently exist on each property. The Police and Fire
Departments have expressed no objections to the proposal. The Fayetteville
School District also expressed no objections to the proposal.
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.

RE: Letter of Intent for Park Property Rezonings
Property Information: Various, see attached
Current Owner: City of Fayetteville
113 W Mountain St, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701
Applicant: City of Fayetteville
113 W Mountain St, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701
This letter serves as a request for rezoning park properties to P-1 Institutional zoning.
Legal Description:
Various, see attached.
Property Description:
Fayetteville Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs owns over 50 parks and park lands.
The majority of these properties are zoned P-1; however several remain that need to be
rezoned.
The properties are proposed to be rezoned from various zonings to Institutional Use (P-1). Per
City Code, the Institutional District is designed to protect and facilitate use of property owned by
larger public institutions and church related organizations. This zoning allows cultural and
recreational facilities as permitted uses. Additionally, the zoning allows for signage and uses not
allowed in many of the existing zonings such as active park facilities including courts, ballfields,
etc.
Enclosed please find Attachments “A” and “B”. Attachment “A” lists the park properties along
with the current zoning(s) and address(es). Attachment “B” illustrates the locations of the
proposed park properties for this rezoning request. There are 19 park properties included in this
request. Attachment “B”
No adverse affect on adjoining properties is anticipated as all of the properties are existing
parks with the exception of Owl Creek Park Land, which was dedicated to become a future park
and simply have not been developed yet.
