CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2026-1793
MEETING OF JUNE 2, 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-2026-0012: Rezoning (2245 W DEANE ST/ ALEXIS MONTEALEGRE TRUST,
364): Submitted by ALEX MONTEALEGRE for property located at 2245 W DEANE ST
in WARD 2. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, FOUR
UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.70 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 northwest Fayetteville and is directly south from Fire Station 8 at 2266 W Deane St.
The property contains one parcel totaling 0.70 acres which is currently zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-
Family, Four Units per Acre and contains a two-family dwelling constructed in 1947 per Washington County
Assessor records. Long-Range Planning evaluation indicates that the structure is not individually eligible for
the National Register of Historic Places. The property is not subject to any overlay districts.
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, Four Units per
Acre to RI-U, Residential Intermediate - Urban. The applicant has indicated an intent to develop infill housing
towards the south end of the parcel.
Public Comment: Staff has no public comment at this time.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the requested rezoning is compatible with surrounding land uses and
zoning patterns. The surrounding neighborhood to the east, south, and west consists of single-, two-, and four-
family dwellings in close proximity to the site While the current RSF-4 zoning does not utilize urban form
setbacks, the surrounding multi-family districts (RMF-24, RI-U, and RMF-40) already exhibit an urban
character. Because these neighboring districts have similar by-right allowances and standards, introducing RI-
U would align with existing development patterns rather than introducing foreign requirements. RI-U requires
smaller comparative bulk and area requirements, which is in keeping with the neighborhood character. The
bulk and area requirements for RSF-4 are intended for large lot single-family homes, 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 having no prescribed maximums and RSF-4 limited to 4 units per acre. This can
be a concern because of the potential increase in development; however, RI-U does not allow for larger-scale

multi-family apartment buildings, and existing development standards inherently limit potential development
outcomes. Given that the proposed zoning district would not result in significant impact to neighboring
properties due to its similar requirements and allowances, staff is in support of this rezoning request.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with 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 would allow for more residential opportunities. The property has seven identified attributes
that can contribute to appropriate infill, including proximity to the Midtown Trail and local infrastructure. Under
City Plan 2040's Growth Concept Map, the property is located within a Tier 3 city node approximately 2,500
feet to the northwest at the W. Mount Comfort Road and N. Shiloh Drive 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.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 7 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station #8, 2266 W Deane St)
• Near Sewer Main (6 in gravity line, south of subject property)
• Near Water Main (2 in and 12 in lines, W Deane St)
• Near Public School (Asbell Elementary School)
• Near City Park (Friendship Park and Lewis Soccer Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (Midtown Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Deane & Evening Shade)
DISCUSSION:
At the May 11, 2026 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 8-0-0 forwarding the request to City Council with
a recommendation of approval. No additional discussions were made, and no public comment was provided.

“I move to forward RZN-2026-0012 to City Council with a recommendation of approval.”
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in west Fayetteville and is directly south from Fire Station 8 at 2266 W
Deane St. The property contains one parcel totaling 0.70 acres which is currently zoned RSF-4,
Residential Single-Family, Four Units per Acre and contains a two-family dwelling constructed in
1947 per Washington County Assessor records but is not individually eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places. The property is not subject to any overlay districts. Surrounding land
uses and zoning are depicted in Table 1.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Streets: The subject property has frontage along West Deane Street. West Deane Street
is a fully improved Neighborhood Link Street with asphalt paving, sidewalk and
curb & gutter. Any street improvements required in these areas would be
determined at the time of development proposal. Any additional improvements or
requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development.
Water: Public water is available to the subject property. There is an existing 2-inch water
main and an existing 12-inch main along West Deane Street.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject property. There is an existing 6-inch
sewer main along the south side of the subject property.
Drainage: There are no known wet weather sewer capacity issues identified in the City’s 2025
Sewer Master Plan that appear in the system. No portions of the subject area lie
within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District. No portion of the subject area lie within
a FEMA floodplain. No protected streams are present in the subject area. No hydric
soils are present in the subject area.
Fire: Station 8, located at 2266 W Deane St., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 0 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 1 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 3.2 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 current zoning district of zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, Four Units
per Acre, requires 25% minimum canopy preservation. The proposed zoning
district of zoned 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 Residential 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
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 of 7 for this site
with a weighted score of 10. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station #8, 2266 W Deane St)
• Near Sewer Main (6 in gravity line, south of subject property)
• Near Water Main (2 in and 12 in lines, W Deane St)
• Near Public School (Asbell Elementary School)
• Near City Park (Friendship Park and Lewis Soccer Complex)
• Near Paved Trail (Midtown Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (Deane & Evening Shade)
Finding: Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the requested rezoning is
compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning patterns. The
surrounding neighborhood to the east, south, and west consists of single-,
two-, and four-family dwellings in close proximity to the site While the
current RSF-4 zoning does not utilize urban form setbacks, the surrounding
multi-family districts (RMF-24, RI-U, and RMF-40) already exhibit an urban
character. Because these neighboring districts have similar by-right
allowances and standards, introducing RI-U would align with existing
development patterns rather than introducing foreign requirements. RI-U
requires smaller comparative bulk and area requirements, which is in
keeping with the neighborhood character. The bulk and area requirements
for RSF-4 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 with no maximums and RSF-4 with 4 units per acre along with by-right
allowances of additional housing. This can be a concern because of the
potential increase in development; however, RI-U would decrease in the
scale of what could be developed compared to the impact of RSF-4. Given
that the proposed zoning district would not result in significant impact to
neighboring properties due to its similar requirements and allowances, staff
is in support of this rezoning request.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with 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 would allow for more residential
opportunities. The property has a moderate infill score of 7, which indicates
that it is a suitable location for infill because of the local infrastructure and
development. The property is located within a Tier 3 city node located 2,500
feet to the northwest at the W. Mount Comfort Road and N. Shiloh Drive
intersection across Highway 71. 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 RSF-4 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 RSF-4 to RI-U may slightly increase local traffic, though the
property's narrow width naturally limits overall density. Because of fire
access requirements, any potential infill housing would likely be
concentrated on the south end of the lot, with primary access to N.
Willowbrook Drive rather than W. Deane Street.
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;
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

TO: Citlali Samano, Planner
FROM: Kylee Cole, Long Range & Preservation Planner
MEETING DATE: May 11, 2026
SUBJECT: Long Range Planning Comments Regarding RZN-2026-0012
BACKGROUND:
The applicant requests to rezone approximately 0.69 acres from RSF-4, Residential Single-
Family, Four Units Per Acre to RMF-12, Residential Multi-Family, Twelve Units Per Acre. Two
long range planning documents are relevant when evaluating this request: City Plan 2040 and
the Heritage & Historic Preservation Plan.
City Plan 2040 (2020):
City Plan 2040 includes several relevant plan goals and objectives:
• Goal 1 – We will make appropriate infill and revitalization our highest priority.
• Goal 2 – We will discourage suburban sprawl.
• Goal 3 – We will make compact, complete, and connected development the standard.
• Goal 6 – We will create opportunities for attainable housing.
o 3.6.1 - Increase housing choices by encouraging a mixture of housing types and
sizes dispersed throughout the city and in proximity to transit and active
transportation networks. (p.45)
On its adoption in early 2020, City Plan 2040 carried forward goals from prior comprehensive
plans and organized them into six primary goals. The goals were meant to focus the City’s
efforts on appropriate infill that furthers a variety of transportation options, supports the creation
of attainable housing, and limits the amount of land consumed by development on the City’s
periphery, often termed “suburban sprawl”.
Heritage & Historic Preservation Plan (2023):
The City’s Heritage & Historic Preservation Plan was initiated by City Plan 2040.
Heritage and Historic Preservation Master Plan Relevant Goals and Action Items
1.9 Plan Review Include historic preservation staff in review of proposed major
projects and zoning changes to determine impacts to historic
resources.
1.10 Demolition
Ordinance
Pass an ordinance to allow for the review of proposed demolitions
for resources forty-five years or older. Staff to evaluate each
property for significance. Work with property owner to discourage
demolition. Reviews should be taken up by HDC as needed.
4.9 Community
Engagement:
Transparency
Publish information about historic preservation reviews and
demolitions of historic properties to increase transparency.

DISCUSSION:
Zoning History:
Ordinance 1747 approved on June 29, 1970 enacted a new zoning map and set of districts and
zoning requirements for the city. This map shows the subject property as being zoned into the
low-density “R-1” zoning district, which was subsequently translated to “RSF-4” with the
adoption of the city’s Unified Development Code.
City Plan 2040 and Future Land Use Plan:
This area is designated as a Residential Neighborhood area, which are “primarily residential in
nature and support a wide variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context.” This land
use designation also encourages the incorporation of low-intensity non-residential uses intended
to serve the surrounding neighborhood, such as retail or offices. 1 The request aligns with this
designation by diversifying the housing types permitted beyond single-family and slightly
increasing the density of housing units. The request aligns with goals 1, 2, and 6 of City Plan 2040
by creating opportunities for denser development in an area that is already served by
infrastructure.
Property History:
The subject property contains a two-family dwelling constructed ca. 1947, according to
Washington County Tax Assessor records. The property has not yet been captured by the
citywide historic property survey, and is not individually eligible for inclusion on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Since rezoning requests often precede redevelopment plans, the property owner and/or
applicant should consult with Long Range & Preservation Planner prior to demolition or
alteration of historic-age structures to capture photo documentation. Documentation of historic
resources is an effective way to mitigate against the loss of historic structures when regulatory
tools are not available.
