CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2025-2621
MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH: Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Jessica Masters, Planning Director
SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0060: Rezoning (3816 W. MOUNT COMFORT RD/MOUNT COMFORT
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 322 & 361): Submitted by DOROTHY ASHWORTH for
property located at 3816 W. MOUNT COMFORT RD. in WARD 4. The property is zoned
RSF-1, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, ONE UNIT PER ACRE, and contains
approximately 2.90 acres. The request is to rezone the property 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 property is in west Fayetteville at the northwest corner of N. Rupple Road and W. Mount Comfort
Road. Totaling approximately 2.90 acres, the property is zoned RSF-1, Residential Single-Family, 1 Unit per
Acre. The property is home to the Mount Comfort Presbyterian Church, which County records indicate has
been owned by the entity since 1900 and the property was annexed into the City limits in 2004.
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-1, Residential Single-Family, 1 Unit per Acre
to P-1, Institutional.
Public Comment: Staff did not receive any public comment relating to the rezoning request.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the requested rezoning to be compatible with the surrounding area and
current land uses. RSF-1 zoning allows for low-density single-family residential uses and P-1 would allow for
institutional uses such as schools, parks, and government facilities. The specific property is the Mount Comfort
Presbyterian Church, which County records indicate has been owned by this entity since at least 1900. While
the surrounding area has historically been rural and agricultural in nature, recent developments have occurred
on adjacent corners; there is now a convenience store and gas station to the east, and a large-scale multi-
family development is developing to the southeast. Holt Middle School is to the north, and other recent
developments have been approved for residential uses to the east as well. The lot widths, areas, and building
height requirements in P-1 are compatible; P-1 is a strictly institutional zoning district, which, after new
regulations were approved by City Council in 2024, now also allows for a form-based option with buildings
closer to the street for context sensitivity. While the building height allowance for the RSF zoning districts found
in the wider area has a maximum building height of 3 stories, P-1 allows for 6 stories which is more consistent
with zoning entitlements to the immediate east, southeast, and south. As an additional consideration, staff finds
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
that rezoning this property will bring an existing non-conforming use into compliance with current zoning district
standards, and will also be compatible with existing surroundings.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the goals in City Plan 2040. A
rezoning from RSF-4 to P-1 contributes to City Plan 2040 goal #3, in that it helps promote a compact,
complete, and connected development throughout the area by affording the ability to develop additional
amenities and services compared with the existing zoning designation. Building schools, parks, and other
facilities near residential areas promotes walkability and desirability for residents and families and aligns with
the City’s goals for infill. The site is within the City Neighborhood classification in the Future Land Use Map,
which places non-residential and commercial uses at street intersections and along major corridors.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
•Adequate Fire Response (Station #7, 835 N. Rupple Rd)
•Near Water Main (Mount Comfort Road and Rupple Road)
•Near Public School (Holt Middle School)
•Near City Park (Bryce Davis Park)
•Near Paved Trail (Sidepath Trail N. Rupple Road)
•Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood Area)
DISCUSSION:
At the December 8, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 6-0-0 forwarded the request to City Council
with a recommendation of approval. Commissioners offered little comment, finding the request to be
compatible with surroundings and with future land use goals. Commissioners were impressed to hear that the
Church has been in operation on the property since the 1820s. No members of the public spoke at the
meeting.

SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0060: Rezoning (3816 W. MOUNT COMFORT RD/MOUNT
COMFORT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 322 & 361): Submitted by
DOROTHY ASHWORTH for property located at 3816 W. MOUNT
COMFORT RD. The property is zoned RSF-1, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-
FAMILY, ONE UNIT PER ACRE, and contains approximately 2.90 acres.
The request is to rezone the property to P-1, INSTITUTIONAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2025-0060 to City Council with a recommendation of

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to forward RZN-2025-0060 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.”
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in west Fayetteville at the northwest corner of N. Rupple Road and W.
Mount Comfort Road. Totaling approximately 2.90 acres, the property is zoned RSF-1,
Residential Single-Family, 1 Unit per Acre. The property is home to the Mount Comfort
Presbyterian Church, which County records indicate has been owned by the entity since 1900
and the property was annexed into the City limits in 2004. Surrounding land uses and zoning are
depicted in Table 1.

RZN-2025-0060 (MOUNT COMFORT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH)
Page 1 of 12
Updated with final results
Road, which is a fully improved Regional Link Street with asphalt paving, curb and
gutter, and sidewalk. 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. An existing 6-inch water main is
present along W. Mount Comfort Road, and an existing 8-inch water main is
present along N. Rupple Road.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is not available to the subject area.
Drainage: No portion of the site is located within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District, nor is
there a FEMA floodplain, protected stream, or hydric soils present. 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 7, located at 835 N. Rupple Rd., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 1.3 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, P-1, Institutional, requires 25% minimum canopy
preservation. RSF-1, Residential Single-Family, 1 Unit per Acre requires 25%
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 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 6 for this site
with a weighted score of 13. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station #7, 835 N. Rupple Rd)
• Near Water Main (Mount Comfort Road and Rupple Road)
• Near Public School (Holt Middle School)

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-1 zoning allows for
low-density single-family residential uses and P-1 would allow for
institutional uses such as schools, parks, and government facilities. The
specific property is the Mount Comfort Presbyterian Church, which County
records indicate has been owned by this entity since at least 1900. While the
surrounding area has historically been rural and agricultural in nature,
recent developments have occurred on adjacent corners; there is now a
convenience store and gas station to the east, and a large-scale multi-family
development is developing to the southeast. Holt Middle School is to the
north, and other recent developments have been approved for residential
uses to the east as well. The lot widths, areas, and building height
requirements in P-1 are compatible; P-1 is a strictly institutional zoning
district, which, after new regulations were approved by City Council in 2024,
now also allows for a form-based option. While RSF-4 has a maximum
building height of 3 stories, P-1 allows for a maximum building height of 6
stories. Staff finds that rezoning this property will bring an existing non-
conforming use into compliance with current zoning district standards, and
will also be compatible with existing surroundings.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent
with the goals in City Plan 2040. A rezoning from RSF-4 to P-1 contributes to
City Plan 2040 goal #3, in that it helps promote a compact, complete, and
connected development throughout the area by affording the ability to
develop additional amenities and services rather than the existing
designation. Building schools, parks, and other facilities closely to
residential areas promotes walkability and desirability for residents and
families and aligns with the City’s goals for infill. The site is within the City
Neighborhood classification in the Future Land Use Map, which places non-
residential and commercial uses at street intersections and along major
corridors.
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 P-1. This request will allow for the development of institutional uses in the
area. Schools, churches, and other cultural and recreational facilities are a
vital service and while not strictly residential, are a necessary neighborhood
amenity.

RZN-2025-0060 (MOUNT COMFORT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH)
Page 3 of 12
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 P-1 has the potential to increase traffic to this
location, though not necessarily in a way that is significantly worse than how
the property could be developed under its current zoning entitlement. It is
worth noting that institutional uses, such as churches or schools, can have
more concentrated traffic patterns than a residential district would, and any
necessary street improvements to off-set those challenges would have to be
borne by the developer.
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 P-1 zoning district does not permit by-right residential uses and is
therefore unlikely to increase the population density in this area. The overall
property has access to existing water as well as fully-improved streets;
sanitary sewer is not currently immediately available to the property. Any
development on this site will be responsible for increasing sewer, water, and
street 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-2025-0060 to City
Council with a recommendation of approval.
