Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov CITY COUNCIL MEMO 2025-2623 MEETING OF JANUARY 20, 2026 TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council THROUGH: Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director Jessica Masters, Planning Director FROM: Citlali Samano, Planner SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0058: Rezoning (S FUTRALL DR & S ROOT AVE/BARNES FAMILY TRUST, 519): Submitted by ECOLOGICAL DESIGN GROUP for property located at S FUTRALL DR & S ROOT AVE. in WARD 1. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE, and contains approximately 9.02 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 to NS-G, Neighborhood Services - General. While originally requesting CS, Community Services, the applicant agreed to a forwarding of a request of NS-G during the Planning Commission meeting. Staff recommended approval of a request to CS, Community Services, which this report evaluated. BACKGROUND: The subject property is located approximately ½ mile south of Markham Hill Woods and just east of Interstate 49 along S. Futrall Dr. In addition to Futrall, the property also has access to S. Root Ave., a public street to the southeast. The overall property contains approximately 9.02 acres and is undeveloped with near-complete 100% tree canopy coverage. The property has a history of rezoning requests. In 2021, the initial request for a rezone to UT, Urban Thoroughfare was denied. Subsequently, a CS rezoning request was made, which received a recommendation for approval by staff and was forwarded to City Council. where it was ultimately denied. Portions of the property near I-49 lie within the City’s I-540 Overlay District while another somewhat overlapping portion lies within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The property is not within a FEMA floodplain, floodway, nor within a Streamside Protection Zone. Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units Per Acre, to NS-G, Neighborhood Services - General. Public Comment: One member of the public spoke at the Planning Commission with concerns about the request and its potential impact on flooding. A document was subsequently shared with staff which is included in this report. Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that requested rezoning to be generally compatible with the surrounding Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov area and existing land uses due to the CS zoning district's intensity and building heights aligning with surrounding uses. Additionally, the allowance in CS to develop nonresidential uses in addition to residential ones can promote the availability of services for residences to the south and east sides of the subject property. Further, the subject property fronts two public streets, Futrall and Root, affording it access that could otherwise pose circulation concerns if Futrall, a one-way frontage road, were the only adjacent street. Overall, the request presents more opportunities than it does challenges; staff recommends approval of this request to CS, and also recommends in favor of the amended proposal of NS-G. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the goals in City Plan 2040 and the property’s mixed future land use designation of Residential Neighborhood area and City Neighborhood area. The proposal for both CS and NS-G along Futrall, a major connecting corridor, can allow for both residential and nonresidential uses that complement both future land use map designations. 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: •Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, located at 900 S Hollywood Ave.) •Near Sewer Main (21” gravity main adjacent to the property) •Near Water Main (6” along W Orlando Dr) •Near Public School (Ramay Junior High School) •Near City Park (Centennial Park) •Near Paved Trail (Shiloh Trail) •Near Razorback Bus Stop (W Stone St & S Mobile Ln) •Appropriate Future Land Use DISCUSSION: At the December 08, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 7-0-0 forwarded the request to City Council with a recommendation of approval following discussion and amendment from the applicant's request of CS, Community Services to NS-G, Neighborhood Services - General. Commissioner McGetrick and Commissioner Madden found that NS-G would allow for less intense and more appropriate land uses compared to CS. Madden also stated concerns in regard to the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay and potential impacts to nearby residences. One member of the public spoke at the meeting, virtually, with concerns about flooding in the area. This member of the public did not provide a presentation document for their concerns during the meeting but did send them via email the following day. These are attached to this report.

The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE, and contains approximately 9.02 acres. The request is to rezone the property to CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of RZN-2025-0058. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to forward RZN-2025-0058 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.” BACKGROUND: The subject property is located approximately ½ miles south of Markham Hill Woods and just east of I-49. The overall property contains approximately 9.02 acres, the applicant requests to rezone the property to CS, Community Services. Currently, the site is undeveloped and has almost 100% tree canopy coverage, however the request is intended to establish a transition area that provides small-scale commercial service options in a corridor that currently lacks accessible commercial amenities between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and N. Marinoni Drive. Portions of the property lie within the City’s Sign Overlay District, and a small portion lies within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The property is not within a FEMA floodplain, floodway, nor within a Streamside Protection Zone. Surrounding land uses and zoning are depicted in Table 1. Table 1: Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning Direction Land Use Zoning North Undeveloped R-A, Residential Agriculture; RI-U, Residential-Intermediate, Urban; South Mixed-Family Residential RMF-18, Residential Multi-Family, 18 Units Per Acre East Mixed-Family Residential RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units Per Acre; RMF- 24, Residential Multi-Family, 24 Units Per Acre West Interstate (I-49) RPZD, Residential-Planned Zoning District (across the interstate) Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units Per Acre, to CS, Community Services. Public Comment: Staff have received no public comments. Updated PC results 12/09 INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Streets: The subject area has road frontage along South Futrall Drive and South Root Avenue. South Futrall Drive is a partially improved Neighborhood Link Street with asphalt paving with curb and gutter. South Root Avenue is a partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving with curb and gutter. 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 not available to the Subject area, but there is a water main approximately 150 feet southeast of the property that runs adjacent to S. Root Ave. and W. Orlando Dr. Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is not available to the Subject area, but there is a sewer main that runs adjacent to S. Futrall Dr. on the west side of the property. Drainage: No portion of the property lies within a FEMA Floodplain, nor within a Streamside Protection zone. However, there is Hydric Soils partially present in the area. Hydric soil is 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 soil 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 are 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. A portion of the property lies within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District. Additional restrictions will apply at the time of development. engineered footing designs will be required at the time of building permit submittal, as well as grading, erosion control and abbreviated tree preservation plans. 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 mile 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 proposed zoning districts, CS – Community Services requires a 20% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning districts, RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre requires a 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 Residential Neighborhood and City 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 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 5-8 for this site with a weighted score of 12. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: •Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, located at 900 S Hollywood Ave.) •Near Sewer Main (21” gravity main adjacent to the property) •Near Water Main (6” along W Orlando Dr) •Near Public School (Ramay Junior High School) •Near City Park (Centennial Park) •Near Paved Trail (Shiloh Trail) •Near Razorback Bus Stop (W Stone St & S Mobile Ln) •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 that the requested rezoning appears generally compatible with the surrounding area and existing land uses. The property has a history of rezoning requests in 2021: the initial request for a rezone to UT was denied due to incompatibility with form-based zoning and requirements for walkable elements. Conversely, a CS rezoning request was also made 6 months later. The second request was recommended for approval by staff and forwarded to City Council but was for reasons related to building form and walkability requirements. CS is more compatible due to lower intensity and building heights that align with surrounding uses. The applicant is continuing to rezone approximately 9.02 acres from RSF-4 to CS, which would enhance the availability of commercial services for the surrounding residential neighborhoods on the south and east sides of the property. Given the current surrounding land use and the distance to non-residential services, there is increased flexibility to approve the current rezoning request. Staff notes that there are no concerns related to the environmental constraints of the site, nor does any portion of the property lie within the floodplain. The subject area has does have street frontage along S. Futrall Dr. and S. Root Ave. and is a Partially improved Neighborhood Link Street with asphalt paving with curb and gutter. 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. Overall, the request presents more opportunities than it does challenges, as discussed in previous rezoning requests. Staff recommends approval of this request. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the goals in City Plan 2040 and the property’s mixed future land use designation partially as a Residential Neighborhood area, and a City Neighborhood area. Given the future land use classification of these portions of the site, staff would recommend approval of the request to stay in line with that plan. 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 CS. 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 CS has the potential to increase traffic to this location and could be to an appreciable degree. There are no limiting factors as there is street frontage along S. Futrall Dr. and S. Root Ave. Further, the property is not within the floodplain. 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 property does not have access to water and sewer but can do so with any future developments. Any increase in density would have to be balanced with appropriate upsizing of those facilities to be borne by the developer. 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: Finding: There is currently no readily available access to water or sewer for this property. However, there are available connections surrounding the property. RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommends approval of RZN-2024-0058. ________________________________________________________________________ PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES Date: December 08, 2025 ❒ Tabled ❒ Forwarded ❒ Denied Motion: Second: Vote: BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: • Project Maps • One Mile Map • Close-Up Map • Current Land Use Map • Future Land Use Map • Unified Development Code • §161.07 District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre • §161.22 District CS, Community Services • Applicant Exhibits • Request Letter Cabe Castin 7-0-0 with recommendation to rezone to NS-G Public Comment - Presentation 161.07 - District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre (modified) (A)Purpose.

The property is currently zoned RSF-4 and is bordered by RSF-18 and RMF-24 zones to the south and east, R-A to the north, and South Futrall Drive and Interstate 49 to the west. The proposed C-S zoning would allow for a mix of commercial and residential uses, aligning with the surrounding medium -high density residential zones and complementing the existing commercial zoning across I -49 to the northwest and southwest. The proposed C-S zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses and therefore is not expected to negatively impact neighboring properties. Instead, it would enable the property to serve nearby residential areas with commercial services, while also supporting residential development consistent with adjacent zoning.

TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission THRU: Jessie Master, Planning Director FROM: Citlali Samano, Planner MEETING DATE: December 08, 2025 SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0058: Rezoning (S FUTRALL DR & S ROOT AVE/BARNES FAMILY TRUST, 519): Submitted by ECOLOGICAL DESIGN GROUP for property located at S FUTRALL DR & S ROOT AVE. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE, and contains approximately 9.02 acres. The request is to rezone the property to CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of RZN-2025-0058. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to forward RZN-2025-0058 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.” BACKGROUND: The subject property is located approximately ½ miles south of Markham Hill Woods and just east of I-49. The overall property contains approximately 9.02 acres, the applicant requests to rezone the property to CS, Community Services. Currently, the site is undeveloped and has almost 100% tree canopy coverage, however the request is intended to establish a transition area that provides small-scale commercial service options in a corridor that currently lacks accessible commercial amenities between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and N. Marinoni Drive. Portions of the property lie within the City’s Sign Overlay District, and a small portion lies within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The property is not within a FEMA floodplain, floodway, nor within a Streamside Protection Zone. Surrounding land uses and zoning are depicted in Table 1. Table 1: Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning Direction Land Use Zoning North Undeveloped R-A, Residential Agriculture; RI-U, Residential-Intermediate, Urban; South Mixed-Family Residential RMF-18, Residential Multi-Family, 18 Units Per Acre East Mixed-Family Residential RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units Per Acre; RMF- 24, Residential Multi-Family, 24 Units Per Acre West Interstate (I-49) RPZD, Residential-Planned Zoning District (across the interstate) Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units Per Acre, to CS, Community Services. Public Comment: Staff have received no public comments. Updated PC results 12/09 INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Streets: The subject area has road frontage along South Futrall Drive and South Root Avenue. South Futrall Drive is a partially improved Neighborhood Link Street with asphalt paving with curb and gutter. South Root Avenue is a partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving with curb and gutter. 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 not available to the Subject area, but there is a water main approximately 150 feet southeast of the property that runs adjacent to S. Root Ave. and W. Orlando Dr. Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is not available to the Subject area, but there is a sewer main that runs adjacent to S. Futrall Dr. on the west side of the property. Drainage: No portion of the property lies within a FEMA Floodplain, nor within a Streamside Protection zone. However, there is Hydric Soils partially present in the area. Hydric soil is 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 soil 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 are 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. A portion of the property lies within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District. Additional restrictions will apply at the time of development. engineered footing designs will be required at the time of building permit submittal, as well as grading, erosion control and abbreviated tree preservation plans. 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 mile 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 proposed zoning districts, CS – Community Services requires a 20% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning districts, RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre requires a 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 Residential Neighborhood and City 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 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 5-8 for this site with a weighted score of 12. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Response (Station 6, located at 900 S Hollywood Ave.) • Near Sewer Main (21” gravity main adjacent to the property) • Near Water Main (6” along W Orlando Dr) • Near Public School (Ramay Junior High School) • Near City Park (Centennial Park) • Near Paved Trail (Shiloh Trail) • Near Razorback Bus Stop (W Stone St & S Mobile Ln) • 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 that the requested rezoning appears generally compatible with the surrounding area and existing land uses. The property has a history of rezoning requests in 2021: the initial request for a rezone to UT was denied due to incompatibility with form-based zoning and requirements for walkable elements. Conversely, a CS rezoning request was also made 6 months later. The second request was recommended for approval by staff and forwarded to City Council but was for reasons related to building form and walkability requirements. CS is more compatible due to lower intensity and building heights that align with surrounding uses. The applicant is continuing to rezone approximately 9.02 acres from RSF-4 to CS, which would enhance the availability of commercial services for the surrounding residential neighborhoods on the south and east sides of the property. Given the current surrounding land use and the distance to non-residential services, there is increased flexibility to approve the current rezoning request. Staff notes that there are no concerns related to the environmental constraints of the site, nor does any portion of the property lie within the floodplain. The subject area has does have street frontage along S. Futrall Dr. and S. Root Ave. and is a Partially improved Neighborhood Link Street with asphalt paving with curb and gutter. 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. Overall, the request presents more opportunities than it does challenges, as discussed in previous rezoning requests. Staff recommends approval of this request. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the goals in City Plan 2040 and the property’s mixed future land use designation partially as a Residential Neighborhood area, and a City Neighborhood area. Given the future land use classification of these portions of the site, staff would recommend approval of the request to stay in line with that plan. 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 CS. 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 CS has the potential to increase traffic to this location and could be to an appreciable degree. There are no limiting factors as there is street frontage along S. Futrall Dr. and S. Root Ave. Further, the property is not within the floodplain. 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 property does not have access to water and sewer but can do so with any future developments. Any increase in density would have to be balanced with appropriate upsizing of those facilities to be borne by the developer. 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: Finding: There is currently no readily available access to water or sewer for this property. However, there are available connections surrounding the property. RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommends approval of RZN-2024-0058. ________________________________________________________________________ PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES Date: December 08, 2025 ❒ Tabled ❒ Forwarded ❒ Denied Motion: Second: Vote: BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: • Project Maps • One Mile Map • Close-Up Map • Current Land Use Map • Future Land Use Map • Unified Development Code • §161.07 District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre • §161.22 District CS, Community Services • Applicant Exhibits • Request Letter Cabe Castin 7-0-0 with recommendation to rezone to NS-G Public Comment - Presentation 161.07 - District RSF-4, Residential Single-Family - Four (4) Units Per Acre (modified) (A) Purpose.
