CITY COUNCIL MEMO

TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THRU: Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
Jessica Masters, Planning Director
FROM: Wesley Frank, Planner
SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0040: Rezoning (1414 S WEST AVEJ BRINK, 562): Submitted by ANDREW
BRINK for property located at 1414 S. WEST AVE in WARD 1. The property is zoned
RMF-24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI -FAMILY, 24 UNITS PER ACRE and contains
approximately 0.23 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U,
RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE -URBAN.
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 south Fayetteville about 250 feet west of the S. School Avenue and W. 15th Street
intersection. The property is zoned RMF-24, Residential Multi -Family, 24 Units per Acre and overall contains
0.23 acres. The property is developed with a single-family home that was built in 1962, per Washington County
records. The property is in the 71-B Corridor Master Plan district.
Request: The request is to rezone the property from RMF-24, 24 Residential Multi -Family, to RI-U, Residential
Intermediate -Urban.
Public Comment: Staff has not received any public comment at this time.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the requested rezoning is compatible with surrounding land uses as it
continues to allow for residential development. The subject property is located within a residential area, and RI-
U has by -right residential allowances that are similar to the existing zoning. The by -right and conditional uses
for both RI-U and RMF-24 are similar, maintaining much of the existing entitlements. RI-U requires smaller lot
bulk and area requirements with less intensive setbacks while still maintaining an urban form, which is in
keeping with the integrity of the area. The bulk and area requirements for RMF-24 are intended for different
types of residential development with a focus on larger, multi -family buildings, which require more space for
that development than what would be required of RI-U. A significant difference between the two are the density
allowances with RI-U not having a prescribed maximum and RMF-24 allowing 24 units per acre. RI-U would
also reduce building height allowances. Given that the proposed zoning district allows more contectually-
scaled buildings than the current zoning and would not result in significant impact to neighboring properties,
staff is in support of this rezoning request.
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with the property's City Plan 2040 Future Land
Use Map designation as a Residential Neighborhood Area, which is primarily residential in nature and supports
a wide variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context. The RI-U zoning district would support this
designation as it permits a diversity of residential housing types. The property has a eight appropriate infill
attributes, indicating that it is a suitable location. The property is located within a Tier 2 node located at the S.
School Avenue and W. 15th Street intersection. The proposed rezoning would notably adhere to City Goals #1
(appropriate infill), #3 (compact development), and #6 (attainable housing opportunities). Staff finds that a
rezoning to RI-U would allow for development opportunities that would be in character with surrounding
residential properties.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 8. The following elements
of the matrix contribute to the score:
• 4 Minute Fire Response (Station 1, 303 W. Center St.)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main along the property to the west)
• Near Water Main (6-inch main South West Avenue, 6-inch main along the property to the east)
• Near Public School (Fayetteville High School)
• Near City Park (Walker Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Fayetteville Traverse Trail and Razorback Greenway)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (School & 15th)
• 71-B Corridor
DISCUSSION:
At the October 13, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 8-0-1 forwarded the request to City Council
with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner McGetrick motioned, and Commissioner Cabe seconded
(Commissioner Brink recused). The Commissioners did not discuss the item. No members of the public spoke
at the meeting.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Streets: The property's frontage South West Avenue, a residential link, is partially improved
with asphalt paving and sidewalk on the west side of the street. Any street
improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of
development proposal
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. There is an existing 6-inch water main
along the west frontage of the property along South West Avenue and an addition
existing 6-inch water main along the east side of the property in the alley.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject area. There is a 6-inch sewer main in the
alley on the east side of the property.
There are known wet weather sewer capacity issues identified in the City's 2021
Sewer Master Plan that appear in the system approximately 100 linear feet
downstream of this property.
Drainage: No portion of the property is within a FEMA floodplain, the Hillside -Hilltop Overlay
District or includes a protected stream. Hydric soils are present and are a known
indicator of wetlands. However, for an area to be classified as wetlands, it may
also need other characteristics such as hydrophytes (plants that grow in water),
and shallow water during parts of the year. Hydric Soils can be found across many
areas of Fayetteville, including valleys, floodplains, and open prairies. It's important
to identify these natural resources during development, so when these soils are
identified on a property, further environmental studies will be required at the time
of development. Before permits will be issued for the property a statement/report
from an environmental professional must be provided summarizing the existence
of wetlands on the property. If this statement/report indicates that wetlands may
be present on site, a USACE Determination of Jurisdictional Wetlands will be
required. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be
determined at time of development.
Fire: 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 1, located at 303 W. Center St., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 1.1 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 4 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 6.2 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, RI-U, Residential Intermediate -Urban, requires 15%
minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district, RMF-24, Residential
Multi -Family, 24 Units per Acre, 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 Residential Neighborhood.
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 of 8 for this site
with a weighted score of 9.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
4 Minute Fire Response (Station 1, 303 W. Center St.)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main along the property to the west)
• Near Water Main (6-inch main South West Avenue, 6-inch main along the property to the
east)
Near Public School (Fayetteville High School)
Near City Park (Walker Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Fayetteville Traverse Trail and Razorback Greenway)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (School & 15tn)
71-B Corridor
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 as it continues to allow for
residential development. The subject property is located within a residential
area, highlighting the compatibility RI-U as its by -right residential allowances
are similar to the existing zoning. The by -right and conditional uses for both
RI-U and RMF-24 are similar, maintaining the fabric of neighborhood. RI-U
requires smaller lot bulk and area requirements with less intensive setbacks
will still maintaining an urban form, which is in keeping with the integrity of
the area. The bulk and area requirements of for RMF-24 are intended for
different types of residential development, which require more space for that
development than what would be required of RI-U. A significant difference
between the two are the density allowances with RI-U at no maximums and
RMF-24 with 24 units per acre. RI-U would also remove Use Unit 26 from the
by -right permission while also reducing building height allowances. Given
that the proposed zoning district is less demanding than the current zoning
and would not result in significant impact to neighboring properties, staff is
in support of this rezoning request.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with the
property's City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map designation as a Residential
Neighborhood Area, which is primarily residential in nature and supports a
wide variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context. The RI-U
Planning Commission

Paqe 3 of 15
zoning district would support this designation as it would allow for more
residential opportunities. The property has a moderately high infill score of
8, which indicates that it is a suitable location for infill due to its close
proximity to the City's prioritization points. The property is located within a
Tier 2 city node located at the S. School Avenue and W. 15t" Street
intersection. The proposed rezoning would allow a slight increase in
development within an area while adhering to City Goals #1 (appropriate
infill), #3 (compact development), and #6 (attainable housing opportunities).
Staff finds that a rezoning to RI-U would allow for development opportunities
that would be in character with surrounding residential properties
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 subject
property from RMF-24 to RI-U. 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 RMF-24 to RI-U could increase traffic in the area, but only
minimally as the size of the property is small, capping density.
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-2025-0040 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

OSAGE CREEK CATTLE CO.
August 6, 2025
RE: Request for Rezone from RMF-24 to RI-U
Dear Planning Commission and City Council,
On behalf of Osage Creek Cattle Company, I am requesting to rezone the property at 1414 S. West Avenue
from RMF-24 to RI-U. A rezone to RI-U presents the opportunity to provide additional housing in
Fayetteville through the production of missing middle housing. RI-U will help facilitate the splitting of the
lot to create two lots; one that faces West Avenue and one t- at faces the alley. My intention is NOT to
demolish the existing house, but rather complete necessary repairs and maintenance.
RI-U is compatible with surrounding land uses due to the residential only by -right uses. Furthermore, Ri-
U removes the by -right use for multifamily. As such, I do not bel eve that RI-U will adversely impact or
conflict with the existing surrounding land uses. A comparison of the permitted uses are below:
