Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov CITY COUNCIL MEMO 2025-2552 MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 2025 TO:Mayor Rawn and City Council THRU:Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director Jessica Masters, Planning Director FROM:Citlali Samano, Planner SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0053 (1539 W Sligo St): Submitted by EASY SUNSET, LLC for property located at 1539 W Sligo St. in WARD 1. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.17 acres. The request is to rezone all 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 located at the southeast corner of W. Sligo Street and S. Ashwood Avenue. The property received its current zoning designation of RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre, through the implementation of the Fayette Junction Master Plan in 2009. While the property is currently zoned as RSF-4, the surrounding area includes a mixture of zoning designations and housing types. The property overall contains one parcel which totals 0.17 acres. The parcel in question, 765-08398-000, was recently purchased in September 2025 by East Sunset, LLC. Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-4, Residential Single-family, 4 Units per Acre, to RI-U, Residntial Intermediate, Urban. Concept plans have been shared with this indicating an intent to develop two-family dwellings as fee-simple townhomes. Public Comment: Staff did not receive any public comment relating to the rezoning request. Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed zoning to be compatible with the existing nearby land uses. The RI-U zoning district is intended to encourage mixed-density housing that is urban in form. The property was zoned RSF-4 as indicated in the Fayette Junction Master Plan in 2011. Other properties in the area since then have been rezoned to districts that allow multi-family dwellings by-right, including RMF-24. Given the emerging development pattern in the area, staff finds that a rezoning to RI-U would be largely compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning. Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation of this property as a Residential Neighborhood Area. Rezoning one parcel to RI-U would allow for a greater variety of residential densities that are pedestrian oriented and will be naturally limited by the physical Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov constraints of the site's size. Staff finds that rezoning to RI-U could support Goal 6 in particular of City Plan 2040 by creating an opportunity to develop more housing. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score range between 8 and 9 for the subject property. The following elements of the matrix contribute to this score: Adequate Fire Response (2250 S School Ave) Near Sewer Main (Intersection of S Ashwood Ave and W Sligo St) Near Water Main (Along S Ashwood Ave and along W Sligo St) Near U of A Campus Near City Park (Town Branch Trail Corridor) Near Paved Trail (Town Branch Trail) Near Razorback Bus Stop (15th & Razorback) Within Master Plan Area DISCUSSION: At the November 24, 2025, Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 7-0-1 forwarded the request. Commissioner Madden made the motion with Commissioner McGetrick seconding. Commissioner Brink recused. Commissioners had little discussion on the rezoning. No public comment was received.

Sligo St. The property is zoned RSF- 4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.17 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE - URBAN. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2025-0053 to City Council with a recommendation of approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to forward RZN-2025-0053 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.” BACKGROUND: The subject property is located at the northeast corner of W. Sligo Street and S. Ashwood Avenue. While the property is currently zoned as RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre, the surrounding area is mixed-density residential. The property overall contains one parcel which total 0.17 acres. The parcel in question, 765-08398-000, was recently purchased in September 2025 by East Sunset, LLC. Surrounding land uses and zoning are depicted in Table 1.

The applicant has indicated that they are requesting the rezoning to bring additional housing through the production of fee simple housing. Public Comment:To date, staff has received no public comment regarding this request. INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 1 of 16 Streets: The subject area has a road frontage along West Sligo Street. West Sligo Street is a Fully improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving, sidewalk, Curb and Gutter. The subject area has road frontage along South Ashwood Avenue. South Ashwood Avenue is a Partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving and open ditches. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of the 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. Existing 6-inch water main is present along West Sligo Street. Existing 6-inch water main is present along South Ashwood Avenue. Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the Subject area. Existing 6-inch sewer main is present along South Ashwood Avenue. Drainage: No portion of the property lies within a FEMA floodplain, protected stream, or within the Hillside-Hilltop overlay district. No hydric soil is present on site. However, there are known wet weather sewer capacity issues identified in the City’s 2025 Sewer Master Plan that appear in the system 260 feet North of this property. Any requirements for drainage improvements will be determined at times 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 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. Tree Preservation: The existing zoning district, RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre, requires 25% minimum canopy preservation, however the proposed zoning district, RI-U, Residential Intermediate – Urban requires 15% minimum canopy preservation CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: The City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates the property within the proposed rezone as a Residential Neighborhood (the Fayette Junction Neighborhood). 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 Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 2 of 16 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. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score between 8-9 for this site with a weighted score of 12.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: x Adequate Fire Response (2250 S School Ave) x Near Sewer Main (Intersection of S Ashwood Ave and W Sligo St) x Near Water Main (Along S Ashwood Ave and along W Sligo St) x Near U of A Campus x Near City Park (Town Branch Trail Corridor) x Near Paved Trail (Town Branch Trail) x Near Razorback Bus Stop (15th & Razorback) x Within Master Plan Area 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 the requested rezoning to be compatible with the surrounding area and current land uses. RSF-4 zoning allows for single-family residential uses and RI-U would allow for a range of housing types in scale with single-family homes and to encourage a diversity of housing types to meet demand for walkable urban living. The specific property in question is currently operating as a single-family dwelling, originally built in 1946, but has since been in a dilapidated state. Given the property’s proximity to the University and mixed- residential uses surrounding the property, staff finds that rezoning to RI-U provides for good compatibility to the area. The lot widths, areas, and building height requirements in RI-U are compatible as well. While RSF-4 has a maximum building height of 3 stories, RI-U allows between 2 and 3 stories, depending on proximity to any Master Street Plan ROW. For RI-U any property located between 0 and 10 ft would have a maximum height of 2 stories, however, buildings greater than 10 ft in RI-U shall have a maximum height of 3 stories. Staff finds that even if a 3-story facility were to be built on this property, this building height could be appropriate. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the goals in City Plan 2040 and the property’s future land use designation as a Residential Neighborhood. A rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-U contributes to City Plan 2040 goal #6 , in that it helps create opportunities for attainable housing by allowing fee simple. This site is highly walkable, and there is available transit. The use of this property as mixed-residential dwellings are justified and necessary to contribute to the City’s future land use goals, and this rezoning will clarify a long- outdated boundary. Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 3 of 16 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: Staff finds there is sufficient justification to rezone the property from RSF-4 to RI-U. This request will allow for the development of mixed-residential uses in the area, one that is already identified as being a Residential Neighborhood area on the City’s future land use map. Mixed-density dwellings, accessory dwellings, cluster housing development, and short-term rentals are considered a necessary neighborhood amenity. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: Staff does not find that this request will appreciably increase traffic or congestion. A rezoning from RSF-4 to RI-U has the limited potential to increase traffic to this location that is not necessarily considerably different than how the site has been used for decades. 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 RI-U zoning district does not permit by-right certain uses such as limited businesses, home occupations, government facilities, nor other cultural and recreational facilities – and is therefore unlikely to increase the population density in this area. However, a rezone could potentially add additional residential units, that may lead to an increase in population within the neighborhood. The overall property has access to existing water and sanitary sewer as well as fully improved streets. Any development on this site will be responsible for increasing sewer capacity as needed. 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-2025-0053 to City Council with a recommendation of approval. ________________________________________________________________________ Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 4 of 16 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES Date: November 24, 2025 ❒❒ Tabled ❒ Forwarded ❒ Denied Motion: Second: Vote: BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: x Project Maps o One Mile Map o Close-Up Map o Current Land Use Map o Future Land Use Map x Unified Development Code o §161.07 District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre o §161.12 District RI-U, Residential Intermediate - Urban x Applicant Exhibits x Request Letter x Site Plans Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 5 of 16 Madden McGetrick 7-0-1 7RZQ%UDQFK7UDLO 3URSRVHG5,8 7+67 %((&+: 22' $9( $6 + : 2 2 '  $ 9 ( $552:+($'67 6/,*267 1(7+ (5/ $1': $< %5 2:( 5 $9 ( -81&7,2167 +(1'2167 5$ =25 % $ & .5' 50) 56) 3 16/ 56) 16* &6 87 5, 5HJLRQDO/LQN 8QFODVVLILHG 5HVLGHQWLDO/LQN +LOOVLGH+LOOWRS2YHUOD\'LVWULFW 7UDLO 3URSRVHG 3ODQQLQJ$UHD )D\HWWHYLOOH&LW\/LPLWV &ORVH8S9LHZ 5=1:6/,*267 -      )HHW 6XEMHFW3URSHUW\ =RQH 3URSRVHG 5,8 56)   7RWDO DF &XUUHQW   Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 6 of 16 Exhibit A &$72635,1*65' %((&+:22' $9( $552:+($'67 $6 + : 2 2 ' $9( 7+67 5$ = 2 5%$ & .5' 5HJLRQDO/LQN 1HLJKERUKRRG/LQN 8QFODVVLILHG 5HVLGHQWLDO/LQN 7UDLO 3URSRVHG 3ODQQLQJ$UHD )D\HWWHYLOOH&LW\/LPLWV 'HVLJQ2YHUOD\'LVWULFW &XUUHQW/DQG8VH 5=1:6/,*267 -      )HHW 6XEMHFW3URSHUW\ 0XOWL)DPLO\5HVLGHQWLDO ,QVWLWXWLRQDO 6LQJOH)DPLO\5HVLGHQWLDO &LW\RI)D\HWWHYLOOH  Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 7 of 16 City Neighborhood Industrial Natural Non-Municipal Government Residential Neighborhood Rural Residential Urban Center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lanning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 8 of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lanning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 9 of 16 161.07 District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre (A) Purpose.

Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0053 (EASY SUNSET LLC) Page 13 of 16 EASY SUNSET, LLC October 27, 2025 RE: 1539 W. Sligo_Request for Rezone from RSF-4 to RI-U Dear Planning Commission and City Council, On behalf of Easy Sunset, LLC I am requesting to rezone the property at 1539 W. Sligo from RSF-4 to RI-U (Residential Intermediate - Urban). A rezone to RI-U presents the opportunity to provide additional housing in Fayetteville through the production of fee simple housing. RI-U’s lot width requirements create simplicity when selling attached townhomes in a fee-simple manner. Through fee simple ownership, we can add an appropriate level of density to an area that is not outsized in scale but adds homeowners to an area. The house that is currently on site is dilapidated to a point that rehabilitation is not possible. Our intent is to place two attached townhomes on the site with a max height of two stories. I have provided a PRELIMINARY site plan and elevations for your consideration. These preliminary drawings are only intended to provide an idea of scale. The design may change as we progress. RI-U is compatible with surrounding land uses and does not adversely impact the area. With the height limitation of 3 stories residential uses we believe RI-U does not adversely impact the neighborhood. Sincerely, Andrew C.
