Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 Telephone: (501 ) 575-8264 P///,t/ PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE 64Rk TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission Members FROM: Tim Conklin, City Planner DATE: December 13, 1999 RZ 99-33.00: Rezoning (City of Fayetteville, pp 523) was submitted by Charles Venable on behalf of the City of Fayetteville for property located west of School Street, east of West Street, south of Mountain and north of Rock Street. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential and R-O, Residential Office and contains approximately 2.42 acres. The request is to rezone the property to C-3, Central Commercial. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning based on the findings included as part of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: X Required Approved Denied Date: December 13, 1999 Comments: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: X Required Approved Denied Date: / / a • BACKGROUND : The City brought this rezoning forward in anticipation of the new Fayetteville public library being developed on this site. The property is currently zoned R-2 and R-O and encompasses an entire City block. Staff has recommended C-3 zoning because libraries are allowed as a use by right in this zoning district and this zoning district allows a greater flexibility in design with regard to required setbacks. Both School Street and West Avenue are classified as Collector Streets. A collector street requires a 36' paved section back of curb to back of curb with 70' of right-of-way, 35' from center line. School Street currently has 21 ' of right-of-way from center line which will require an additional 14' of right-of-way and West Avenue has 19.3' on the north end and 20.5' on the south end from centerline which will require and additional dedication of 15.7' and 14.5 ' from centerline. This master street plan requires a six foot multi use trail/sidewalk to be constructed with a 10' green space between the trail/sidewalk and street and will be addressed at the time of large scale development. This site is designated as mixed use on the Future Land Use Map and C-3 zoning allows all types of residential, retail and commercial uses that currently surround this site and exist in the historic downtown area. Rezoning the property at this time is necessary in order for the architect to continue with the site design process. This process is currently underway with additional design review meetings scheduled by the architect on January 13th and February 8th. ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING: North: Night Club (Radar), Single Family, C-2 and R-O South: City Hospital, Professional Office (Habitat for Humanity), P- 1 East: Multifamily Apartment Building, Single Family Homes, Professional Office, R-2 and R-O West: Single Family, Duplex, R-O INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: North: Mountain Street, designated as a local street (50' of row required) South: Rock Street, designated as a local street (50' of row required) East: School Street designated as a collector street (70' of row required). West: West Ave. designated as a collector street (70 of row required). Water: 4" line along School Street and West Ave. and a 1 1/4" line along Mountain and Rock Sewer: 8" line along School and West and a 6" line along Mountain and Rock LAND USE PLAN: General Plan 2020 designates this site as mixed use. Rezoning this property to C-3 is consistent with the land use plan and compatible with surrounding land uses in the 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: The Land Use Plan (General Plan 2020) shows this area as Mixed Use. The zoning of C-3 (Central Commercial) is consistent with the plan. This site is located in an area that is surrounded by many different land uses and C-3 zoning would allow compatible uses. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The proposed zoning of C-3 is justified and needed at this time in order to provide the type of zoning needed for the Fayetteville Public Library. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The proposed zoning would not create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Both School Street and West Avenue have adequate capacity to handle additional traffic associated with the development of this site. 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 zoning would not undesirably increase the population density and would not undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and sewer facilities. 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 §161.15 DISTRICT C-3 CENTRAL COMMERCIAL. A. Purpose. The Central Commercial District is designed to accommodate the commercial and related uses commonly found in the central business district or regional shopping centers which provide a wide range of retail and personal service uses.

The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential and R -O, Residential Office and P��a contains approximately 2.42 acres. The request is to rezone the property to C-3, Central am, Commercial. Charles Venable was present on behalf of the request. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning based on the findings included as part of the staff report on file in the Planning Division. Commission Discussion Johnson: This is the location just not very far west and a little bit south of where we are this evening where the proposed new Fayetteville Public Library would be built. The primary reason that staff has recommended the C-3 zoning is to allow greater flexibility in the design and setbacks from the street. Tim, would you like to add details to the reason for the rezoning. Conklin: Yes. This is the site for the proposed library. It is an entire city block. When staff met with the architect and looked at what zoning would be appropriate in this area, it was noted that R-2 and R -O setbacks would be 25 and 30 feet. We also looked at adjacent land uses in the area and felt that recommending C-3 zoning would be the best zoning for this site. It would allow 5 foot setbacks on all sides. School and West Avenues are classified as collector streets on our Master Street Plan and an additional 15 to 20 feet or right of way would be needed along with the setback. There is one other item that was not in your packet of material for this rezoning and that is that in 1990, the site was rezoned from C-2 to R -O. At that time, Washington Regional Medical Center was looking at constructing an assisted care facility or units on this property. They offered a bill of assurance. The bill of assurance was with regard to trees. In 1990, we did not have a tree ordinance in the City of Fayetteville. I bring this up in case any Planning Commissioner or those in the audience remembered back to 1990 when this site was discussed. The bill of assurance basically stated that 50% of all the existing trees with the caliper of 8 inch or more in the interior of the site be preserved and that those trees be protected during the construction process and that a minimum 80% of the existing trees 8 inch caliper or more in required setback areas around the perimeter of the site be preserved. This bill of assurance talks about working with the hospital once the development takes place. It is my opinion that if the Planning Commission does recommend this rezoning and the City Council Planning Commission Minutes December 13, 1999 Page 23 does rezone it to C-3 that this bill of assurance would not apply to this property. Johnson: Thank youfor that information. Mr. Venable is here. Do you have anything additional for us? Venable: No. I think Tim covered it pretty well. The architect is looking more at the northeast corner which would be. the Mountain/School area for the location of this and try to save as many of the trees but the land does slope quite a bit in all directions. It's going to be a beautiful site. If we can get this, it will certainly aid the architect in the design of the building itself. Johnson: Thanks, Mr. Venable. Initial questions? Public Comment None MOTION Ward: Johnson: Shackelford: Johnson: Shackelford that we approve rezoning 99-33. Our approval would merely send this on to the City Council for its work. The Council makes rezoning decisions but we do weigh in with our recommendation. Is there discussion of the motion? I move approval of RZ99-33 for rezoning. Is there a second? I'll second. We have the motion by Commissioner Ward and the second by Commissioner Hoffman: I have one question for staff with regard to the trees. When the library is designed it will come back through as large scale development and we would review it for the tree ordinance at that time. There is nothing that would preclude that. Conklin: That is correct. At the meeting with the architect one week ago, they have been in contact with Kim Hesse, the Landscape Administrator and they are also working with 2 other individuals to get opinions on what trees to preserve and how to design the building on that site. Johnson: Anything else before we have the vote? If not, then we have the motion to recommend approval of the rezoning and send it on to the Council.
