EASY AVE./ FLETCHER, 367): Submitted by GREENWAY CARRIAGE HOUSE for property located at 2040 N. EASY AVE in WARD 2. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.30 acres. The request is to rezone the property to NS-G, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES-GENERAL. 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 north-central Fayetteville about 400 feet west of the N. Gregg Avenue and W. Poplar Street intersection at the corner of W. Pear St. and N. Easy Avenue. The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre and overall contains 0.30 of an acre. The property is undeveloped. The property does not lie in an overlay district. Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4, 4 Residential Single-Family, to NS-G, Neighborhood Services - General. Public Comment: Staff has received one public comment in support of the item. Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed rezoning from RSF-4 to NS-G to be compatible with the variety of surrounding land uses with complementary uses and reduced development barriers. RSF-4 is a single-family district that typically requires 70 feet of street frontage and a minimum lot area of 8000 sq. feet. The NS-G development requirements are significantly lesser as it requires 35 foot lot width for dwellings and 0 ft for all else; and 4,000 sqft lot area minimum for single-family to 0 feet for all non-dwelling developments, highlighting how less restrictive the proposed zoning district is. With this proposed rezoning, setbacks would transition from the RSF-4 standard setbacks to the urban form of NS-G, furthering complementing to the transitioning urban form in the area. The nearby area is characterized by different zoning districts - C-2, NS-G, RSF-4, RMF-24, and I-1 – which allow for a mix of differing uses. The introduction of NS-G could support this area with the addition of a mixed-use zoning district compared to the single-use residential allowance of RSF- 4. While allowing a density up to 18 units per acre, staff finds that given the size of the site, the lot area minimums for dwelling units, and the limited nature of developable area, the site would likely never reach that maximum threshold. Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov 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 and is within a Tier Three Center – intersection of W. Sycamore Street and N. Gregg Avenue. A rezoning to NS-G would support those designations as designations as both City Neighborhood Areas and Tier Three Centers exist to provide a mix of commercial and residential uses of varying scale. The allowed uses in NS-G promotes neighborhood development with sustainable and complementary neighborhood businesses that are compatible in scale, aesthetics, and use with surrounding land uses. The subject property has a moderate infill score, with access to trails, parks, and public infrastructure that make it appropriate for moderate density infill development. Staff finds that the requested rezoning allows for convenience goods and services and housing which will assist most prominently with City Plan Goals #1 (appropriate infill), 3 (compact development), and 6 (opportunities for affordable housing). CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 8-9 for this site. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: Adequate Fire Response (Station 2, 138 W. North St.) Near Sewer Main (18-inch main N. Easy Avenue; 18-inch main W. Pear Street) Near Water Main (6-inch main N. Easy Avenue; 6-inch main W. Pear Street) Near Public School (Woodland Junior High School) Near City Park (Razorback Greenway) Near Paved Trail (Midtown Trail) Near ORT Bus Stop (N College & Poplar) Near Razorback Bus Stop (Chestnut Apartments – Route 26) Appropriate Future Land Use DISCUSSION: At the November 24, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 8-0-0 forwarded the request to City Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioners offered little comment, finding the request to be compatible. No members of the public spoke at the meeting. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: N/A ATTACHMENTS: 3. Staff Review Form, 4. Exhibit A, 5.

Public Comment:Staff has received one public comment in support of the item. Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0055 (FLETCHER) Page 1 of 18 Updated w/ meeting results INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Streets: The subject area has a road frontage along North Easy Avenue. North Easy Avenue is a partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving and open ditches. The subject area has a road frontage along West Pear Street. West Pear Street 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. Water: Public water is available to the subject area. Existing 6-inch water main is present along North Easy Avenue. Existing 6-inch water main is present along West Pear Street. Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject area. Existing 18-inch sewer main is present along North Easy Avenue. Existing 18-inch sewer main is present along West Pear Street. There are known wet weather sewer capacity issues identified in the City’s 2025 Sewer Master Plan that appear in the system 633 feet to the Southwest of this property. Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District or a FEMA floodplain. Additionally, no protected streams are present. Hydric soils are present on 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 at the time of development submittal. 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 2, located at 138 W North St, protects this site. The property is located approximately 1.4 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. The 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 November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0055 (FLETCHER) Page 2 of 18 Tree Preservation: The proposed zoning district, NS-G, Neighborhood Services — General, requires 20% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district, RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre, requires 25% 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 8-9 for this site with a weighted score of 11.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: x Adequate Fire Response (Station 2, 138 W. North St.) x Near Sewer Main (18-inch main N. Easy Avenue; 18-inch main W. Pear Street) x Near Water Main (6-inch main N. Easy Avenue; 6-inch main W. Pear Street) x Near Public School (Woodland Junior High School) x Near City Park (Razorback Greenway) x Near Paved Trail (Midtown Trail) x Near ORT Bus Stop (N College & Poplar) x Near Razorback Bus Stop (Chestnut Apartments – Route 26) x Appropriate Future Land Use 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 proposed rezoning from RSF-4 to NS-G to be compatible with the surrounding land uses by introducing complementary uses and relieves development barriers. RSF-4 is a single- family district that typically requires 70 feet of street frontage and a minimum lot area of 8000 sq. feet. The NS-G development requirements are significantly lesser as it requires 35 foot lot width for dwellings and 0 ft for all else; and 4,000 sqft lot area minimum for single-family to 0 feet for all non- dwelling developments, highlighting how less restrictive development the proposed zoning district is. With this proposed rezoning, setbacks would transition from the RSF-4 standard setbacks to the urban form of NS-G, furthering complementing to the transitioning urban form in the area. The nearby area is scattered with different zoning districts - C-2, NS-G, RSF-4, RMF-24, and I-1 – which allow for a mix of differing uses. The introduction of NS-G could support this area with the addition of a mixed-use zoning district Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0055 (FLETCHER) Page 3 of 18 compared to the single-use residential allowance of RSF-4. While allowing a density up to 18 units per acre, staff finds that given the size of the site, the lot area minimums for dwelling units, and the limited nature of developable area, the site would likely never reach that maximum threshold. 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 and is within a Tier Three Center – intersection of W. Sycamore Street and N. Gregg Avenue. A rezoning to NS- G would support those designations as designations as both City Neighborhood Areas and Tier Three Centers exist to provide a mix of commercial and residential uses of varying scale. The allowed uses in NS-G promotes neighborhood development with sustainable and complementary neighborhood businesses that are compatible in scale, aesthetics, and use with surrounding land uses. The subject property has a moderate infill score, with access to trails, parks, and public infrastructure that make it appropriate for moderate density infill development. Staff finds that the requested rezoning could allow for convenience goods and services and housing which will assist with the City Goals #1 (appropriate infill), 3 (compact development), and 6 (opportunities for affordable housing). 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 RSF-4 to NS-G. 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 RSF-4 to NS-G 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 additional 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; Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0055 (FLETCHER) Page 4 of 18 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-2025-0055 to City Council with a recommendation of approval. ________________________________________________________________________ PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES Date: November 24, 2025 ٲٲ Tabled ٲ Forwarded ٲ Denied Motion: Second: Vote: BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: x Unified Development Code o §161.07 District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre o §161.19 NS-G, Neighborhood Services –General x One Mile Map x Close-Up Map x Current Land Use Map x Future Land Use Map x Request Letter Planning Commission November 24, 2025 RZN-2025-0055 (FLETCHER) Page 5 of 18 Werner Payne 8-0-0 (Commissioner Cabe was absent from the vote) ٲ 161.07 District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre (A) Purpose.

NS-G is the zoning that best ﬁts and currently this zoningexists in the Parker Valley neighborhood. Parker Valley Estates residential makeup consist of single family home owners withthe exception of the parcels on North Shady Ave owned by the Davidson Construction which is zoned as NS-G. Our intent is to eventually sell the lot or smaller parcels for the lot The current zoning is not the most ﬂexible for this and this change would be more desirablefor a single owner or for an investor in a landlord/tenant situation.The City of Fayetteville is experiencing a housing crisis.Thissmall zoning changewill help a few more future residents have the opportunity to own a home as an alternative to renting. Homeownership in our area of Ward 2 is very low and we have a small opportunity to change this situation. We as homeowners living next to this lot want more ﬂexibility and options in the sale of the lot. Thank you for consideration, This change is comparable with the neighborhood property owners and will not adversely, unreasonably, or conﬂict with surrounding land usages. We are in a mixed use neighborhood off of Poplar with Sweetser Construction bordering N Easy Ave. We have multiple zoning in our neighborhood with multiple homes zoned as NS-G. We feel that this change will not be contested by our neighbors and will beneﬁt the development of the neighborhood as well as provide for more home buying opportunities.in the City of Fayetteville.
