Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 Telephone: (479) 575-8264 PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission FROM: Shelli Rushing, Associate Planner THRU: Tim Conklin, A.I.C.P., City Planner DATE: May 9, 2002 RZN 02-13.00: Rezoning (CMN Business Park I1, ph. I Lot IA, pp 134) was submitted by Mel Milholland of Milholland Engineering & Surveying on behalf of Bristol Development Group, LLC for property owned by CMN Properties and located on Lot 1 A of CMN Business Park II, ph. I. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains approximately 32.62 acres. The request is to rezone to RMF- 12, Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning based on the findings included as part of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES O Approved O Denied Date: May 13, 2002 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Required YES O Approved O Denied Date: June 4, 2002 ( 1 " reading, if recommended) Comments: H:IUSERSICOMMONIDARN7IREPOR7SIPCI2002 REPOR7SIBRISTOL RZN01-1DOC RZN 02- 13.00 CMN Business Park II, Ph1 , Lot la BACKGROUND: The subject property is located within the CMN Business Park II, north of Joyce Boulevard and west of Steele Boulevard, with direct access to Steele Boulevard. The Northwest Arkansas Mall is east of the property and the City of Johnson city limits are on the north and west sides of the property. To the south of the property, a commercial development (Party City) is under construction. The property and surrounding area within the Fayetteville city limits is zoned C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial and is identified as regional commercial in the Future Land Use Plan. The subject property is part of a lot split request on the May 16, 2002 Subdivision Committee agenda. Lot I of CMN Business Park II, Phase 1 was originally platted on June 13, 2001 with 35 .82 total acres. The applicant is requesting a lot split to create two lots: Lot la with 32.62 acres and Lot lb, at the southeast corner, with 3 .20 acres. The rezone request is for Lot la with 32.62 acres. The applicant does not propose to rezone Lot lb, maintaining the zoning designation of C- 2 Thoroughfare Commercial. The applicant is proposing to construct a luxury apartment development on Lot 1 a. The property is currently zoned C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial, which does not allow multifamily units. The request is to rezone Lot la from C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial to RMF- 12 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential to allow multifamily units with a maximum density of 12 units per acre and to decrease the intensity of use at this location. There has been very little rezoning activity in the immediate area. Rezoning cases that have occurred have been requests to increase intensity. In this instance, the applicant is requesting a downzone which will decrease intensity. No previous requests in this area are similar to this case. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING North: The property abuts the Johnson City Limits. The floodway of Clear Creek is to the north of the property. Properties further north are zoned A- 1 Agriculture and C- 1 Low-Intensity Commercial according to City of Johnson's zoning regulations. South: A commercial development is under construction. Zoned C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial. East: To the east of the property is the Northwest Arkansas Mall and a forested drainage gully separates the two properties. Zoned C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial. West: The property abuts the Johnson City Limits to the west and is zoned R- 1 Low Density Residential according to City of Johnson's zoning regulations. H.IUSERSICOMMOMDAI4NTIREPORTSIPC12002 REPORTSIBRISTOL RZN02-I.Z)OC RZN 02-13 .00 CHIN Business Park 11, Ph1 , Lot la INFRASTRUCTURE: The CMN Business Park II, Phase 1 was recently developed as platted on June 13, 2001 . The City Engineer reviewed the plats to ensure that adequate infrastructure would be available for development of individual sites. Streets: Street access is available from Steele Boulevard, to the east of the property, which is a Principal Arterial south of Joyce Boulevard and a local street between Joyce Boulevard and the outer road serving Northwest Arkansas Mall. Joyce Boulevard is approximately 400 feet south of the property and is a Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. Adjacent to this property, Steele Boulevard is constructed with a three lane section providing a turning lane available to serve a development on the subject property. Water: An existing eight (8) inch water main is located along Steele Boulevard that is designed to serve Lot 1 . There are three fire hydrants nearby: two are located on Lot 1 on the west side of Steele and the third is located on the east side of Steele Boulevard across from the southeast corner of Lot 1 . The developer intends to extend water service throughout the development. The developer proposes to use a landscape irrigation system and install sprinkler systems in several units. Sewer: Sanitary sewer is provided along Steele Avenue, along the south of the project's east boundary. Two sanitary sewer manholes are stubbed into Lot 1 and a service system will be designed for the project. LAND USE PLAN: General Plan 2020 designates this site as regional commercial. Rezoning this property to R-MF12 is not consistent with the land use plan map. However, the proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses in the area and will help implement policy 9. 8f of the City's General Plan (see # 1 under Findings of the Staff). 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 proposed zoning is a downzone from an intense commercial use to a less intense residential use. The residential uses allowed in RMF-12 serve as appropriate buffers between adjacent commercial areas to the east and south and the low-density residential areas to the north and west in Johnson. The proposed zoning will provide a moderate density residential option that is H:IUSERSICOMMOA90A fhRWPOR7'SIPCI2002 REPORTSIBRISTOL RZN02-L OC RZN 02- 13 .00 CMN Business Park II, Ph1 , Lot la within walking distance of adjacent commercial areas. The propose rezone helps implement Policy 9.8f of the city's General Plan, which states: "Site new residential areas accessible to roadways, alternative transportation modes, community amenities, infrastructure and retail and commercial goods. " 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The proposed zoning will likely reduce the amount of impact this site would have if it were to remain a C-2 zone. The proposed residential use will help reduce total traffic by offering pedestrian access between residential and commercial uses. Further, as shown below, peak travel times of residential and commercial are different, therefore, the residential use should not significantly impact peak travel times on the adjacent road system. Additionally, there is little available land for a medium density residential in the northern portion of the city. The proposed zoning will increase the variety of residential options in northern Fayetteville. 3 . A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The proposed zoning will increase traffic to the adjacent street system, however, is not anticipated to be extreme enough to create danger or reduce the level of service on adjacent streets. According to the Traffic Eneineerim Handbook , Institute of Transportation Engineers, the peak travel hours for residential use are different than that of commercial use. Peak travel hours for residential is generally in the early morning hours of the week, whereas, peak travel hours for commercial is typically Saturday, early morning and early afternoon. The proposed zoning should have less of an impact than if the site were to remain C-2. Steele Boulevard provides access to the site and the applicant is proposing a single curb cut to serve the development. Steele Boulevard is a Primary Arterial on the City's Master Street Plan and has adequate capacity to support the impact that would be created by the proposed zoning. 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 will increase the population density. However, it is not anticipated that it will create an undesirable load on existing facilities. The K9USERSICOMMOMDA WN7IREPOR7S60CI2002 REPORTSIRRISTOL RZN02-I.1)OC RZN 02- 13.00 CMN Business Park II, Ph1 , Lot la water and sewer departments have indicated capacity is available for continued development that follows recent trends. The school district has indicated that they can support additional students and will adjust as necessary. The maximum density level allowed in RMF-12 is 12 families per acre, which, with 32.6 acres proposed, amounts to 391 families or units. Using 2000 census data, the average household size of renter-occupied units is 2.04. When this figure is applied to this property, it results in approximately 797 persons (391 x 2.04). 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: The proposed zoning is compatible with and compliments surrounding land uses, is consistent with the 2002 General Plan policies and will not create a negative impact to the existing street system or other public services.

I. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains approximately 32.62 acres. The request is to rezone to RMF-12, Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential. The subject property is located within the CMN Business Park II, north of Joyce Boulevard and west of Steele Boulevard, with direct access to Steele Boulevard. The Northwest Arkansas Mall is east of the property and the City of Johnson city limits are on the north and west sides of the property. To the south of the property, a commercial development (Party City) is under construction.

Planning Commissions • May 13, 2002 Page 10 RZN 02-13.00: Rezoning (CMN Business Park II, ph. I Lot 1A, pp 134) was submitted by Mel Milholland of Milholland Engineering & Surveying on behalf of Bristol Development Group, LLC for property owned by. CMN Properties and located on Lot lA of CMN Business Park II, Ph. I. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains approximately 32.62 acres. The request is to rezone to RMF- 12, Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential. Hoffman: Our next item is RZN 02-13.00 for CMN Business Park II, Phase I Lot IA, which was submitted by Mel Milholland of Milholland Engineering on behalf of Bristol Development Group, LLC for property owned by CMN Properties and located on Lot lA of CMN Business Park II, Phase I. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains approximately 32.62 acres. The request is to rezone to RMF-12, Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential. If the applicant is here would you say your name and give us the benefit of your presentation please? Milholland: I am Melvin Milholland, Milholland Engineering. We have a client that is interested in doing something different from commercial, which was discussed to some degree during the rezoning process originally and in the same location. They feel it is an appropriate location for their investment. I have with me tonight the Senior Project Manager, Mr. Raymond Ledoux. He is here to answer any questions you may have as to their intent, quality of construction or whatever, if you needed that. Otherwise, we would respectfully request to rezone this to, we asked for R-2 and then they changed it to the RM, help me out here Tim. Conklin: RMF-12. Milholland: RMF-12, which is 12 units per acre average I understand. The number of units that is being requested, which is not a part of the rezoning, but just for your information. The highest, best use for the land is 272 units if it is zoned it would allow 391, so we are well under, actually by 69% with the layout that we have presently. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Hoffman: Ok, thank you Mel. I appreciate it. Is there any member of the audience that would wish to speak to us on this rezoning? Seeing none, I will bring it back to the applicant and to the Planning Commission for further discussion. Tim, could you talk to us a little bit about downzoning in a commercial district? Conklin: This is an area that was rezoned back in the mid to early 90's. Most of it was rezoned to commercial, C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, which is what you see around the mall with the large, big, box type retailers going Planning Commission. • May 13, 2002 Page 11 in. The applicant has requested that this property be changed to Residential, RMF-12, which is 12 units per acre for apartments. Our land use plan does have policies that do encourage mixed use type use developments. It encourages residential uses to be accessible to commercial areas. Typically when you go from a commercial or industrial zoning, and you change it to a residential type zoning, that is what is referred to as a down zoning, it actually restricts the type of use and the intensity of development. You can see many different things that can be built in C-2 from car dealerships to like a Lindsey 75' tall, six -story office building. This does reduce the potential intensity of land use on the site. Thank you. Hoffman: Thank you very much. Commissioners? Ward: I would like to go ahead and maybe get the developer to give us a real brief outline of what he is proposing and what they are going to be and what they are going to look like. Milholland: This is Mr. Raymond Ledoux, he is with Bristol Development, Inc. from Nashville, TN. Ledoux: We have a plan, is it ok to show what we are proposing? Ward: Sure, just real quick. Man: I have a question because we often get asked why we are considering design and actual plans in a rezoning. My only concern is I wouldn't want to confuse the public to think that that is a consideration for rezoning when we try so often to clearly distinguish the difference between the two. I will leave that up to your judgment. Hoffman: That is an excellent point: I am inclined to go ahead and allow the presentation because it is being voluntarily given. I think it is great when we can have more information that we should certainly, and I believe they are actively working with the Planning staff right now. If it is ok with everybody else, if you will make a short presentation, that is good. Milholland: Are you saying that you want to see the presentation? Hoffman: A short one. Milholland: I was leery to bring it out because I knew from some of the past issues that the Planning Commission wasn't supposed to be looking at that. Planning Commission• • May 13, 2002 Page 12 Ledoux: My name is Raymond Ledoux, I am the Senior Project Manager for Bristol Development out of Nashville, TN. What we are proposing is a 270 unit apartment project. Basically, Bristol is a class A development project. We develop class A properties. We are active in Tennessee and in Texas. We have eight projects in various forms of construction of completion and new starts, this will be the ninth one. Average value of our portfolio is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 million dollars. This particular project incorporates our big house unit, which is a 12 unit two-story apartment structure with six direct access garages. It is called a big house because it looks like a big house. It was developed by Humphrey's Partners in Dallas, TX, who are national award winning architects who have been used throughout the United States and various market places. We have also mixed in this project three story bridge way style apartments so we catch a diversity of both somewhat of an upscale and somewhat of our standard scale type apartments. Our goal is to produce a class A property. We spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,500 per unit for amenities as far as landscaping, irrigation, club house, security, fencing, trails, you name it, we do it. Bristol has been in business for approximately three years, it has ten employees, we have a combined multi -housing experience of somewhere around 40 years. We are very active. I play a key role on a lot of the design, development and the construction of these projects. I travel from Texas to Tennessee to here this evening. I believe this is our site plan, 272 units. I will be glad to answer any other questions you may have of it. Ward: What type of price range do these rent for? Ledoux: On an average range, the higher units will rent for about $900 a month and the flats, the three story configuration, will start at around $800 a month. We have the garages as well as also interior garages that serve as the big house units for the higher rent so you can actually drive into -your garage and walk into your apartment. Ward: Thank you. Hoffman: Thank you very much for your presentation, it is most informative to get that on a rezoning. I realized after we had begun hearing this matter that I've got a conflict. I am going to have to recuse from this vote so I am going to pass the matter onto our Vice Chair, Chairman Estes. Excuse me, I should've known that before we got started, but go ahead. Estes: Commissioner Allen? Motion: Planning Commission • • May 13, 2002 Page 13 Allen: I think this is an appealing project with nice diversity and with that said, I would like to move for RZN 02-13.00. Estes: We have a motion to approve RZN 02-13.00 by Commissioner Allen, is there a second? Hoffman: I will second. Estes: We have a second by Commissioner Hoover. Are there any further questions of the applicant or the applicant's representative? We have a motion to approve RZN 02-13.00 by Commissioner Allen and a second by Commissioner Hoover, is there any further discussion? Man: A couple of questions. Our General Plan 2020 actually has this as commercial and I understand that we have sited also in the plan the mixed use or transition, could you speak a little bit about how these developments in the past work well with commercial areas and did they consider any other already rezoned properties? Ledoux: Typically in apartment development in my experience, not only with Bristol but throughout the line of market, Dallas market, Houston market, it is nice to be in the commercial areas because it is convenient for the people. Once they are home they don't have to travel across town to go to the supermarket, the drycleaner, pick the kids up from child care or the schools if they are in the area and it is most beneficial from a marketing point of view to be in these areas. In fact, we try to target market, I at least try to target market in areas of commercial growth. For example, our project in San Antonio, at the entry to our apartment project is a subdivision, our apartment project, and a beautiful shopping center. It is very convenient. People come home, they can walk over to the grocery store, take it easy when they get off the freeway in some of the bigger cities. This is my first trip to Fayetteville. I am impressed so far, I've only been here 2 '/2 hours but it is a definite plus. If we are stuck 30 miles out in the country somewhere without services, who wants to live there? Multi -housing is a convenience today. The rent we ask people to pay that is a fairly good rent between being a home owner and being a renter. It is not too much difference today. It is a definite plus to be in a commercial market. Man: Thank you. Estes: Commissioners, the proposed zoning is a downzone from an intense commercial use to a less intense residential use and provides for a mixed Planning Commission • • May 13, 2002 Page 14 use. What is proposed is 12 units per acre, which is a reduced density. I will certainly vote for the pending motion and am very enthusiastic about the proposed project. We have a motion by Commissioner Allen and a second by Commissioner Hoover, is there any further discussion? Renee, would you call the roll please? Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to forward RZN 02-13.00 to the City Council was approved by a vote of 8-0-1 with Commissioner Hoffman abstaining. Estes: The motion passes by a vote of eight in favor and one recusal. Thank you.
