Subject: Residential Planned Zoning District for Cliffside (R-PZD 04-1154)
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance creating the Residential Planned
Zoning District (R-PZD) for Cliffside. This action will establish a unique zoning district
for a residential subdivision on a 26.114-acre tract located in east Fayetteville, north of
Hwy 62. The proposal entails a residential subdivision with I I I with both single family
detached dwellings and two-family attached townhouses.
BACKGROUND
Property Description: The property consists of a total 26.114 acres located in east
Fayetteville north of Hwy 62 (Huntsville Rd) and east of Happy Hollow Rd. The
proposed development is south of Cliffs Apartments and north of Happy Hollow
Elementary School. The site is currently vacant and zoned RSF-4. Floodway crosses the
subject property from north to south. In addition, a 50' electric easement and 50' water
easement overlap creating a 75' easement which runs east -west across the northern
portion of the property. With the exception of Cliffs Apartments and the school, the
surrounding property is currently developed for single family.
Proposal: The applicant requested a rezoning and preliminary plat approval for a
residential subdivision within a unique R-PZD zoning district. The proposed use of the
site is for a residential development consisting of I I I single-family residential dwelling
units, of which 15 are single family detached and 48 are two-family attached townhouses.
The proposed density for the R-PZD is 4.25 DU/acre, slightly greater than the existing
RSF-4 zoning. The applicant proposed lot sizes and setbacks slightly smaller than those
allowed in typical zoning districts, a trail corridor, tree preservation areas following the
existing riparian corridor, and an off -site extension of Ray Avenue north of 4 h Street.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 to forward this request with a recommendation of
approval on Monday, November 08, 2004. Approval of a planned zoning district requires
City Council approval as it includes zoning (land use) as well as development approval

R-PZD 04-1154: Planned Zoning District (CLIFFSIDE, 526): Submitted by PROJECT
DESIGN CONSULTANTS, INC for property located at THE EAST SIDE OF HAPPY
HOLLOW ROAD, SOUTH OF THE CLIFFS APARTMENTS. The property is zoned RSF-4,
SINGLE FAMILY - 4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 26.114 acres. The request is
to approve a Residential Planned Zoning District on the subject property with approximately 48
two-family and 15 single-family lots proposed.
Property Owner: SCB INVESTMENTS, LLC Planner: SUZANNE MORGAN
Findings:
Proposal: The applicant requests a rezoning and preliminary plat approval for a residential
subdivision within a unique R-PZD zoning district. The proposed use of the site is for a
residential development consisting of I I I single-family residential dwelling units, of which 15
are single family detached and 48 are two-family attached townhouses.
Existing Development: The site is currently vacant and zoned RSF-4. Floodway crosses the
subject property from north to south. In addition, a 50' electric easement and 50' water easement
overlap creating a 75' easement which runs east -west across the northern portion of the property.

Total proposed dwelling units on the 26.114-acre site is 111, therefore the proposed, density for
the R-PZD is 4.25 DU/acre. The project site is currently zoned RSF-4, allowing for single
dwelling units. The developer proposes an unconventional subdivision, with both single family
detached dwellings and two-family attached townhouses. Lot sizes and setbacks are proposed to
be slightly smaller than those allowed in typical zoning districts, thus the need for processing a
Planned Zoning District.

The vacant site is located in east Fayetteville south of Cliffs Apartments and north of Happy
Hollow Elementary School. With the exception of Cliffs Apartments and the school, the
surrounding property is currently developed for single family. Property to the east extending to
Crossover Rd is developed for only one single family dwelling and may be further developed in
the future.

Water & Sewer: Water and sewer is to be extended to serve the development.
Access: Access is proposed to the east and south:
North: None (existing tree preservation area)
South: One (1) connection to be constructed extending to the existing Ray Avenue
East: One (1) stub -out is proposed for future connection to the east
West: One (1) connection to Happy Hollow Rd, a Collector
No connectivity is proposed north to Cliffs Apartments due to a tree preservation easement
adjacent to the length of the northern property line, and no stub -out from Cliffs Apartments was
provided for connectivity.
Happy Hollow Rd. is a newly constructed street west of the subject property. The developer of
Cliffside is dedicating Happy Hollow Rd. 35' from centerline to Collector St. standards for the
length of the property boundary. The northern portion of Happy Hollow Rd. right-of-way
constructed with Cliffs Apartments is 40' from centerline, and greater than that required by the
Master Street Plan. A transition between these two rights -of -way width will be made with the
development of this project.
Due to tree preservation to the north, undeveloped property to the east, and no access south to
Ray Street, the only available on -site street connection from this proposed development is west
to Happy Hollow Rd. Only one access for a development of I I I lots could create a dangerous
traffic situation. Therefore, at the request of staff, the applicant has coordinated with the
Fayetteville School District to the south for a dedication of 50' right-of-way west of the School
property to create a street connection with the existing Ray Avenue. The developer proposes
construction of a street from the subject property south to the existing drive with parallel parking
spaces designated to the east of the street for public parking.
Street Improvements Proposed: 14' from centerline with curb, gutter, and storm sewer with six-
foot sidewalks constructed at the right-of-way line of Happy Hollow Rd. Construction of a
standard local street section south of the subject property to connect to the existing street is also
recommended, as coordinated with the Fayetteville School District. Staff recommends

improvements of existing Ray Avenue from 4`h St. north along the existing paved access to be
coordinated with the Engineering Division. Interior streets are proposed to be 28 feet wide, with
sidewalks located at the right-of-way on both sides of the street. Through streets are proposed to
have a 50' right-of-way with cul-de-sac streets with a 40' right-of-way.

Improvement Plan identifies future signalization at the intersection of Happy Hollow Rd. and
Huntsville Road.

on July 12, 2004, along with pedestrian trail connections
through
the
subject
property both to the school and the Cliffs trail to the north.
Pedestrian Access: The developer proposes a pedestrian trail along and within identified tree
preservation areas. The Parks and Recreation Board recommended pedestrian connections be
made from the Cliffside development to its southern neighbor, Happy Hollow Elementary
School. Pedestrian connections should join existing trails located on the school property and a
connection north to Cliffs Apartments as well.
Public Comment: Public comment was received at the August 12, 2004 Subdivision Committee
meeting at which the project was tabled to allow staff and the applicant additional time to
address aspects of the proposed R-PZD (see attached minutes). Those comments from notified
property owners with objections have been included in the staff report. The item was also heard
at the Subdivision Committee meeting of October 15, at which it was forwarded with a
recommendation for approval to the full Planning Commission.
A draft of protective covenants, as well as the applicant's response to the Planned Zoning
District requirements and description of the project have been submitted and are included in the
staff report.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of R-PZD 04-1154, with the following
conditions of approval:

Findings associated with R-PZD 04-1154
Sec. 166.06. Planned Zonine Districts (PZD).
(B) Development standards, conditions and review guidelines
(1) Generally. The Planning Commission shall consider a proposed PZD in light of the
purpose and intent as set forth in Chapter 161 Zoning Regulations, and the development
standards and review guidelines set forth herein. Primary emphasis shall be placed upon
achieving compatibility between the proposed development and surrounding areas so as
to preserve and enhance the neighborhood. Proper planning shall involve a consideration
of tree preservation, water conservation, preservation of natural site amenities, and the
protection of watercourses from erosion and siltation. The Planning Commission shall
determine that specific development features, including project density, building
locations, common usable open space, the vehicular circulation system, parking areas,
screening and landscaping, and perimeter treatment shall be combined in such a way as to
further the health, safety, amenity and welfare of the community. To these ends, all
applications filed pursuant to this ordinance shall be reviewed in accordance with the
same general review guidelines as those utilized for zoning and subdivision applications.
FINDING: The proposed Planned Zoning District has been reviewed in light of all
applicable development and zoning ordinances. Emphasis on tree preservation has been
placed with the development proposal, and appropriate routing of utilities, streets, and
protective easements has been achieved. Natural site amenities, including a riparian area,
which is being retained as greenspace and concentrated Tree Preservation area, have been
maximized, with protection of the watercourse from erosion and siltation a requirement of
the development. The proposed density, while slightly higher than current underlying
density, creates a compatible transition from higher density to the north to the single
family homes to the south. This transition is also achieved with the proposed mixed
housing types within the development; two-family homes to the north and single family
homes on lots to the south. A trail proposed through the tree preservation/common areas
will connect north to the existing trail within the Cliffs Apartments and south to Happy
Hollow Elementary School. To provide adequate vehicular circulation, the developer has
coordinated with the Fayetteville School District to obtain approval to construct an off -site
portion of Ray Avenue to provide a second connection to the surrounding streets. In
addition, parking spaces parallel to the proposed construction of Ray Avenue will be
provided to allow for designated parking for school events. The proposed subdivision tree
preservation and overall public amenities required of the developer, along with the variety
of housing types furthers the health, safety, amenity and welfare of the community as a
whole.
(2) Screening and landscaping. In order to enhance the integrity and attractiveness of the
development, and when deemed necessary to protect adjacent properties, the Planning
Commission shall require landscaping and screening as part of a PZD. The screening and
landscaping shall be provided as set forth in § 166.09 Buffer Strips and Screening. As part
of the development plan, a detailed screening and landscaping plan shall be submitted to
K:IReports1d0041PC Reportslll-08-041R-PZD 04-1154 (Cliffside) - Amendedfor CC.do
the Planning Commission. Landscape plans shall show the general location, type and
quality (size and age) of plant material. Screening plans shall include typical details of
fences, berms and plant material to be used. .
FINDING: Screening is not required as a part of this development.
(3) Traffic circulation. The following traffic circulation guidelines shall apply:
(a) The adequacy of both the internal and external street systems shall be reviewed in
light of the projected future traffic volumes.
(b) The traffic circulation system shall be comprised of a hierarchal scheme of local
collector and arterial streets, each designed to accommodate its proper function and in
appropriate relationship with one another.
(c) Design of the internal street circulation system must be sensitive to such
considerations as safety, convenience, separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
general attractiveness, access to dwelling units and the proper relationship of different
land uses.
(d) Internal collector streets shall be coordinated with the existing external street system,
providing for the efficient flow of traffic into and out of the planned zoning
development.
(e) Internal local streets shall be designed to discourage through traffic within the
planned zoning development and to adjacent areas.
(f) Design provisions for ingress and egress for any site along with service drives and
interior circulation shall be that required by Chapter 166 Development of this code.
FINDING: Internal streets are comprised of public streets within 50 feet and 40 feet
rights -of -way, with no dead -ends. A north -south Collector Street is indicated adjacent to
the west property line, within a minimum of 35 feet of right-of-way from centerline. A
street connection is proposed off -site to connect the existing Ray Avenue with the proposed
development. Additionally, a street stub -out is proposed to the east. Currently,
connectivity provided allows for future residents to travel west to Crossover Rd. and south
to Huntsville Rd. Sidewalks are required on all sides of public streets within the
development. Due to their narrow width of the proposed two-family lots, staff recommends
a combination of shared 24-foot driveways and separate 12-foot wide driveways to facilitate
a safe, attractive and functional internal street. Pedestrian traffic will thereby be protected
from an impractical continuous curb cut, and the overall proportion of lot width to
driveway width/paved surface will be more in keeping with typical residential ratios.
(4) Parking standards. The off-street parking and loading standards found in Chapter 172
Parking and Loading shall apply to the specific gross usable or leasable floor areas of the
respective use areas.

K. IReports12004WC Reports111-08-04W-PZD 04-1154 (Cliffside)-Amendedjor CC.do
(1) Causes for revocation as enforcement action. The Planning Commission may
recommend to the City Council that any PZD approval be revoked and all building or
occupancy permits be voided under the following circumstances:
(a) Building permit. If no building permit has been issued within the time allowed.
(b) Phased development
schedule.
If the applicant does not
adhere to the phased
development schedule
as stated
in the approved development
plan.
(C) Open space and recreational facilities. If the construction and provision of all
common open spaces and public and recreational facilities which are shown on the
final plan are proceeding at a substantially slower rate than other project components.
Planning staff shall report the status of each ongoing PZD at the first regular meeting
of each quarter, so that _the Planning Commission is able to compare the actual
development accomplished with the approved development schedule. If the Planning
Commission finds that the rate of construction of dwelling units or other commercial
or industrial structures is substantially greater than the rate at which common open
spaces and public recreational facilities have been constructed and provided, then the
Planning Commission may initiate revocation action or cease to approve any
additional final plans if preceding phases have not been finalized. The city may also
issue a stop work order, or discontinue issuance of building or occupancy permits, or
revoke those previously issued.
(2) Procedures. Prior to a recommendation of revocation, notice by certified mail shall be
sent to the landowner or authorized agent giving notice of the alleged default, setting a
time to appear before the Planning Commission to show cause why steps should not be
made to totally or partially revoke the PZD. The Planning Commission recommendation
shall be forwarded to the City Council for disposition as in original approvals. In the
event a PZD is revoked, the City Council shall take the appropriate action in the city
clerk's office and the public zoning record duly noted.
(3) Effect. In the event of revocation, any completed portions of the development or those
portions for which building permits have been issued shall be treated to be a whole and
effective development. After causes for revocation or enforcement have been corrected,
the City Council shall expunge such record as established above and shall authorize
continued issuance of building permits.
(F) Covenants, trusts and homeowner associations.
(1) Legal entities. The developer shall create such legal entities as appropriate to undertake
and be responsible for the ownership, operation, construction, and maintenance of private
roads, parking areas, common usable open space, community facilities, recreation areas,
building, lighting, security measure and similar common elements in a development. The
city encourages the creation of homeowner associations, funded community trusts or
K. tReportsl2004lPC Reportslll-08-041R-PZD 04-1154 (Cliffside) - Amended for CC.dw
other nonprofit organizations implemented by agreements, private improvement district,
contracts and covenants. All legal instruments setting forth a plan or manner of
permanent care and maintenance of such open space, recreation areas and communally -
owned facilities shall be approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and effect, and
by the Planning Commission as to the suitability for the proposed use of the open areas.
The aforementioned legal instruments shall be provided to the Planning Commission
together with the filing of the final plan, except that the Guarantee shall be filed with the
preliminary plan or at least in a preliminary form.
(2) Common areas. If the common open space is deeded to a homeowner association, the
developer shall file with the plat a declaration of covenants and restrictions in the
Guarantee that will govern the association with the application for final plan approval.
The provisions shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:
(a) The homeowner's association must be legally established before building permits are
granted.
(b) Membership and fees must be mandatory for each home buyer and successive buyer.
(c) The open space restrictions must be permanent, rather than for a period of years.
(d) The association must be responsible for the maintenance of recreational and other
common facilities covered by the agreement and for all liability insurance, local taxes
and other public assessments.
(e) Homeowners must pay their pro rata share of the initial cost; the maintenance
assessment levied by the association must be stipulated as a potential lien on the
property.
FINDING: The applicant shall comply with the above requirements, as part of the
Planned Zoning District ordinance.
Sec. 161.25 Planned Zonine District
(A) Purpose. The intent of the Planned Zoning District is to permit and encourage
comprehensively planned developments whose purpose is redevelopment, economic
development, cultural enrichment or to provide a single -purpose or mixed -use planned
development and to permit the combination of development and zoning review into a
simultaneous process. The rezoning of property to the PZD may be deemed appropriate if the
development proposed for the district can accomplish one or more of the following goals.
(1) Flexibility. Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of
development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts.
(2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses
K: IReportsld0041PC Reportsll1-08-041R-PZD 04-1154 (Cli_Qside) - Amended for CC.doc
(3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are
harmonious and beneficial to the community.
(4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or
commercial or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration
of economic and redevelopment opportunities.
(5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the
area;
(6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and
cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and in the
renewal of existing deteriorating areas.
(7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas
and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land
development regulations.
(8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural
features and amenities.
(9) General Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use yet
harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the General Plan.
(10) Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of geographic
location, topography, size or shape.
FINDING: The proposal best fits the flexibility and variety goals of the intent of the
Planned Zoning District, offering attached and detached single family housing types, lot
arrangements (front loading, shared drive, intermittent tree preservation lots, mixing of
single and two-family homes) and amenities for the community to enjoy. Open space is
proposed with pedestrian trails, allowing residents to utilize the common open space and
connect to other open space north (Cliffs Apartments) and south (Happy Hollow
Elementary School). Many of the natural features of the site have been incorporated into
the design, including the placement of the pedestrian trail along the riparian corridor and
lot location and configuration. The proposed development also provides a residential
development designed around not only natural features but also a 75' utility easement that
bisects the northern portion of this property from. The proposal is consistent with many of
the guiding policies of the General Plan 2020 including:
Residential Areas:
9.8.a Utilize principles of traditional residential urban design to create compatible,
livable, and accessible neighborhoods.
9.8f Site new residential areas accessible to roadways, alternative transportation
modes, community amenities, infrastructure, and retail and commercial goods and

r]
services.
Environmental Resources:
9.16.a Identify areas of environmental concern and protect and preserve environmental
resources.
9.16.E Define and protect areas of significant foodplains, hillsides, trees and other
environmental resources through cluster development provisions, density controls,
protective easements and other new and existing development standards and regulations.
Community Character:
9.19.g Encourage new residential development to incorporate varying lot sizes, home
prices and types of dwelling units.
(B) Rezoning. Property may be rezoned to the Planned Zoning District by the City Council
in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and Chapter 166, Development. Each
rezoning parcel shall be described as a separate district, with distinct boundaries and specific
design and development standards. Each district shall be assigned a project number or label,
along with the designation "PZD". The rezoning shall include the adoption of a specific master
development plan and development standards.
FINDING: The subject described real property is proposed to be rezoned to R-PZD 04-
1154. The development standards and plan approved shall be adopted with the rezoning.
(C) R - PZD, Residential Planned Zoning District.
(1) Purpose and intent. The R-PZD is intended to accommodate mixed -use or clustered
residential developments and to accommodate single -use residential developments that are
determined to be more appropriate for a PZD application than a general residential rezone. The
legislative purposes, intent, and application of this district include, but are not limited to, the
following:
(a) To encourage a variety and flexibility in land development and land use for
predominately residential areas, consistent with the city's General Plan and the orderly
development of the city.
(b) To provide a framework within which an effective relationship of different land uses and
activities within a single development, or when considered with abutting parcels of land, can be
planned on a total basis.
(c) To provide a harmonious relationship with the surrounding development, minimizing
such influences as land use incompatibilities, heavy traffic and congestion, and excessive
demands on planned and existing public facilities.
(d) To provide a means of developing areas with special physical features to enhance natural
beauty and other attributes.

•
r1
(e) To encourage the efficient use of those public facilities required in connection with new
residential development.
FINDING: The proposed Residential Planned Zoning District allows single-family and
two-family residential uses in a clustered pattern, allowing for more usable common open
space and greater preservation of natural amenities. A general rezoning would not allow
the type of development the applicant is pursuing, based on the bulk and area
requirements of typical zoning districts, therefore a Planned Zoning District is more
appropriate for the proposed development. The proposed subdivision allows for a density
and land use that is compatible with adjacent properties, yet also allows for a flexible site
plan and layout. A harmonious relationship with surrounding developments is achieved,
while allowing for a very unique style and type of development. Public improvements
provided with the development will ensure future street connectivity in the area.

FINDING: The proposed single-family and two-family units are permitted uses within a
Residential Planned Zoning District. All other ancillary uses (tree preservation/open areas,
trails, etc.) are allowed by right.
(3)
Condition.
In no
instance shall the residential use area be less than fifty-one percent

FINDING: The proposed PZD proposed is entirely residential in use.
*Required Findings for Rezoning Request.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request from RSF-4,
Residential Single Family — 4 units per acre, to R-PZD 04-1154, with the adoption of the
K. IReporis120041PC Reporlslll-08-041R-PZD 04-1154 (Cliffside) - Amended for CC.da
associated preliminary plat.
LAND USE PLAN: The General Plan 2020 Future Land Use Plan designates this site as a
Residential Area. Rezoning this property to R-PZD 04-1154, with associated Preliminary Plat, is
consistent with the land use plan and compatible with surrounding land uses in the general
vicinity.
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
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 rezoning of the existing RSF-4 property to the proposed R-
PZD development with single and two-family residential use at a density of
4.25 units per acre is consistent with the General Plan 2020 that identifies
this area for residential use. The proposed land use is unique to the area
with regard to site layout and organization, meeting many of the objectives
and principles of the land use plan that promotes unique forms of
development.
A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: The proposed zoning is needed in order to develop a subdivision in the
manner proposed with the R-PZD site plan.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed zoning will not create or appreciably increase traffic danger or
congestion surrounding streets. Approximately 707 average two-way vehicle
trips per day from this development would be created; a Collector Street, the
primary means of access to the site currently, can accommodate 6,000
vehicles per day at full build -out. AHTD currently has plans to signalize the
intersection of Happy Hollow Rd (Collector) and Huntsville Rd/Hwy 16
(Principal Arterial) in the near future.
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 development proposed would create, on average, 245 future residents in
this area, thereby altering the population density in the immediate vicinity.
Based on findings from public service providers, as outlined below, an
undesirable increase in load on public services would not be created.
KARepor[ss120041PC Repor1s11 /-08-041R-PZD 04-1154 (Cliffside) - Amended for CC.do
Fire - Water supply with fire hydrants is needed to serve development on this site. Fire
station #5, approximately 1.45 miles away, will serve this site once it is constructed. Fire
response time to the site is approximately 4-5 minutes, with an anticipated 15 calls for
service at maximum build -out, based on the Service Delivery Impact included as a part of
the staff report.
Police - Projects existing in this area already receive police services. The same level of
service will be provided to this site as is currently applied to the existing surrounding
development. It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this Planned
Zoning District will not substantially alter the population density and thereby undesirably
increase the load on police services or create and appreciable increase in traffic danger and
congestion in the area.
Engineering — The proposed subdivision has been reviewed for access to public utilities,
including water and sewer, and will not undesirably increase the load on public services.
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.

Fayetteville, AR 72701
Telephone: (479) 575-8267
The desirability of preserving a tree or group of trees by reason of age, location, size or species.
The site is dominated by tree canopy, with approximately 88% coverage. Additionally, the site
being developed is located on a hillside, and includes a riparian corridor, all of which create ideal
situation for preservation of trees. The dominant tree species on -site consist of Oaks, interspersed
with Elm, Sycamore and other less predominant species along the riparian corridor.
Whether the design incorporates the required Tree Preservation Priorities.
The design of the subdivision does incorporate the required Tree Preservation Priorities. The
applicant has worked wiur sta to balance the development of the subjproperty with
maximum tree preservation, as identified within the Planned Zoning District ordinance. Large
pockets of preservation have been achieved, as well as a desirable corridor along the riparian
area, through which a trail is to be constructed, thereby increasing the visibility and value of the
preservation area to the general public.
The extent to which the area would be subject to environmental degradation due to removal of
the tree or group of trees.
Removing those trees shown as preserved could potentially degrade the riparian habitat; staff has
recommended the preservation of trees along the natural drainageway consistently.
The impact of the reduction in tree cover on adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood
and the property on which the tree or group of trees is located.
Removal of canopy on this property will have impact on adjacent properties, due to high canopy
percentage currently in place. Happy Hollow Elementary School is located to the south, and a
tree preservation area for the Cliffs Apartment development to the north. Many of the tree
protection areas proposed fall along the property boundaries, in an effort to reduce the impact on
adjacent property owners.
Whether alternative construction methods have been proposed to reduce the impact of
development on existing trees.
No alternative construction methods are proposed.
Whether the size or shape of the lot reduces the flexibility of the design.
The size and shape of the lot does little to reduce the flexibility of the design. Natural drainage
patterns and the existing creek riparian corridor do have an effect on the design development.
Additionally, the existing development surrounding the property have an effect on the design.
The general health and condition of the tree or group of trees, or the presence of any disease,
injury or hazard.
The general health of all groups of trees on this site is good.
The placement of the tree or group of trees in relation to utilities, structures, and use of the
property.
Most trees shown to be preserved are sited in good relationship to the proposed streets and
utilities, to ensure prolonged preservation. The developer has worked with utility companies to
site easements sensitive to tree preservation, and has created lot lines that preserved the integrity
of the natural canopy corridor. Users of the lots should have ample space in which to build and
preserve existing trees, should they choose to do so. The developer has further ensured the long-
term protection of certain trees by placing them within distinct lots, set aside for ownership by
the POA, as Tree Preservation Areas, subject to those ordinance requirements.
The need to remove the tree or group of trees for the purpose of installing, repairing, replacing,
or maintaining essential public utilities.
Some trees will need to be removed for the purposes of installing necessary utilities. Where
possible, utilities have been routed in a manner so as to avoid unnecessary tree removal. The
applicant has worked with utility companies and staff to site utilities along property lines that
will necessitate minimal removal of tree canopy. Additionally, the developer is utilizing the
proposed trail corridor along the drainageway to also install essential utilities, thereby reducing
the amount of canopy removed.
Whether roads and utilities are designed in relation to the existing io• aphy, and routed,
where possible, to avoid damage to existing canopy.
The streets and utilities have been aligned to minimize removal and damage of tree canopy.
Construction requirements for On -Site and Off -Site Alternatives.
N/A
The effects of proposed On -Site Mitigation or Off -Site Alternatives.
No mitigation is required.
The effect other chapters of the UDC, and departmental regulations have on the development

Applicant:
Staff is recommending approval of the submitted Tree Preservation Plan.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the submitted Tree Preservation Plan,
with the following conditions:
I . The applicant shall work with the Landscape Administrator at the time of construction
plan review to locate more precisely Tree Protection fencing. All areas not disturbed by
the construction of necessary infrastructure, utilities or other grading shall be protected,
under the purview of the Landscape Administrator. Include a note to this effect on the
plan.
2. Include the standard specification drawings and Tree Preservation and Protection notes on
the Tree Preservation Plan.
3. The applicant shall coordinate the lot layout to incorporate appropriate lots for specific
Tree Preservation areas. Covenants shall address ownership and maintenance of said
areas.
4. Root Pruning will need to occur on the subject property, with the coordination of the
Landscape Administrator. Include a note to this effect on the plat.
5. The developer shall coordinate construction of the proposed trail along the riparian area
with the Landscape Administrator, to facilitate the best placement, with regard to tree
preservation.

RE: Cliffside PZD
Dear Mr, Pate:
Please recall our previous discussions on this project. It is a 26.3 +/- acre
property just south of The Cliffs apartments. The property is heavily wooded
and we are proposing to develop a PZD with mixed duplex and single family
housing. Our intention is to have the duplexes on the north border as a typical
transition from the multifamily apartment complex and the single family homes
on the south as a typical transition between the multifamily/duplex on the north
to the single family homes and school property to the south. We are proposing
approximately 46 duplexes and 20 single family homes. There will be large
corridors of tree preservation and a trail along the drainage areas. The intent is
to have a small neighborhood/natural look. If you have any questions, please
call me at my office: 479-248-1161 or my cell phone: 479-366-0136.
Sincerely,
N. Arthur Scott, PE

Dear Ms. Morgan:
Regarding the Duplex Lots for this project we would like to change their
designation to attached Single Family Homes with each side being a sellable
home and lot. We had originally planned to have them as duplexes but through
conversations with city staff and the owners we have decided to market these
lots as individual homes.
We will designate the lots as A and B, Le. Lot 34A and 34B and submit them as
such for the Planning Commission submittal.

R-PZD 04-1154: Planned Zoning District (CLIFFSIDE, 526): Submitted by
PROJECT DESIGN CONSULTANTS, INC for property located at THE EAST SIDE OF
HAPPY HOLLOW ROAD, SOUTH OF THE CLIFFS APARTMENTS. The property is
zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY - 4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 26.30
acres. The request is to approve a Residential Planned Zoning District on the subject
property with approximately 48 two-family and 15 single-family lots proposed.
Ostner: Our next item is R-PZD 04-1154 for Cliffside.
Warrick: This property is located on the east side of Happy Hollow Road south of
the Cliffs Apartments P.U.D. and north of Happy Hollow school. The
property is currently zoned RSF-4 and contains approximately 26 acres.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning and Preliminary Plat approval for a
residential subdivision zoned a unique R-PZD zoning district. The
proposed use of the site is for a residential development consisting of I I I
residential dwelling units, 15 of which are single family detached and 48
two family attached town homes. The site is currently vacant. The
floodway crosses the subject property from the north to the south. In
addition, a rather large 75' easement runs east and west along the north
portion of this property as you can see from Crossover with the power
lines that go through there. The total proposed dwelling units on this 26
acre site is 111. Therefore, the proposed density is 4.25 dwelling units per
acre, which is slightly above what is allowed with the current density of
four units per acre. Of course, that RSF-4 zoning district requires 70' lots
of 8,000 sq.ft. in area and this proposal is a drastic change from that. They
are using quite a unique mixing of attached town home style lots and
single family homes as well. As I mentioned, this site is located in east
Fayetteville south of the Cliffs apartments, north of Happy Hollow
elementary school. As part of the parks review and staff s review of this
project we are recommending, and the applicant is showing on the plat, a
trail connection through the proposed tree preservation area along the
creek both from the school up to the Cliffs apartments, which will provide
a needed pedestrian connection between those two. Access is proposed to
the east and south. To the north there is none. The initial submittal had
two stub outs to the north but it was discovered that those are tree
preservation easements for the Cliffs apartments. Therefore, these tree
preservation easements that run along the creek will actually be extending
that riparian corridor. There is one connection to be constructed extending
through the existing Ray Avenue. This took quite a bit of coordination
between the school and the developer. As I mentioned, the initial
submittal came in there was no stub out to the south because of the school
property there and no real intent to be developed. Staff recommended that
the applicant go back and talk to the school district and see if potentially
some of the traffic could be alleviated from going south and potentially
finding a better way for a better disbursement of traffic. They did meet
with the school district and I believe the school district voted on allowing

this connection and dedication of right of way so a street connection will
be provided to the south. We are happy that those two property owners
could work that out which provides the city with connectivity and both of
these property owners with a mutual benefit. As I mentioned, to the east
there is a stub out proposed for future connectivity and there is one
existing connection to Happy Hollow Road to the west, which is a
collector street. Happy Hollow Road is a newly constructed street west of
the subject property. The developer of Cliffside is dedicating 35' from
centerline as required. I have already mentioned coordination and there is
quite a bit of coordination on this project. Both with the staff and adjacent
property owners. The site is heavily canopied. It has 88% existing
canopy on this property. We had to work quite a bit to try to find the best
way to preserve as much canopy as possible and identifying those areas
most important and most significant based on our tree preservation
ordinance. As Landscape Administrator, I am recommending approval of
the tree preservation plan and I believe that we have worked out a great
solution. 25% is the minimum requirement and the developer is showing
38%, which is commendable. As I mentioned, the Parks and Recreation
Board did review this project and is recommending money in lieu in the
amount of $61,605 as well as the recommendation for that trail
connection. This project has been before the Subdivision Committee at
least twice. I am sure you have minutes from those meetings as well as
some of the public comment that has been received on this project which
has not been much. We have received a few items of public comment. A
draft of protective covenants are within your staff report as well as those
findings associated with all PZDs. As I mentioned, emphasis on tree
preservation has been placed with the development proposal and the
density which is proposed, while slightly higher than 'the current
underlying density does create a transition from the higher density multi-
family residential development to the north. That is where they are
placing a lot of their two family homes. The school to the south and there
are surrounding single family dwelling units. The tree preservation areas
as shown will also act as common areas for this neighborhood and for
those traveling along this trail. Staff is recommending that this item be
forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation for approval of R-
PZD 04-1154 with 23 conditions. I will go over a couple of those.
Planning Commission determination of residential lot access management.
Having seen recently in another PZD with smaller lots, staff feels that it is
appropriate to establish an access management policy on these streets.
You have 30' wide lots, if you have a standard 24' wide driveway you
would pretty much have driveways the entire street which is not sound
practice. We recommended, as we have in the past, if you have a shared
driveway it be allowed at 24' and if you have individual driveways those
be allowed at a maximum of 12' at the right of way. Planning
Commission determination of offsite street improvements. I believe we
have worked most of these out in this case. The developer will be

improving Happy Hollow Road from centerline as well as extending Ray
Avenue to the south and some additional improvements along Ray
Avenue. Additionally, parallel on street parking will be allowed on that
street to allow for program types of parking for the school when they have
after school programs and things of that nature to allow for excess parking
in that area. As mentioned, $61,605 for parks fees. Other conditions
address the pedestrian connections both to the north and to the south
which details are still being worked out. We feel comfortable at this level
to recommend that this go forward to the City Council. Final covenants of
course, always have to come through with a R-PZD, which is a
Preliminary Plat/Final Plat type of development. We will see those final
covenants at the time of Final Plat.
Ostner: Thank you Mr. Pate. Is the applicant present? If you could introduce
yourself and give us your presentation.
Scott: Good evening. My name is Art Scott, I am with Project Design
Consultants, we are the engineers on the project. This is Seth Cathca with
SBC Investments, the developer. We are asking for your approval on this
zoning change tonight to R-PZD and if you have any questions we will
answer them for you.
Ostner: Thank you. At this point I will open it up to the public. Would anyone
like to speak about this PZD? Please introduce yourself and give us your
comments.
Erf: Good evening, my name is Jeff Erf.. I live at 2711 Woodcliff Road. A
couple of concerns, first of all, do you realize that Cliffside is also the
name of a street in the Hyland Park subdivision? I just throw that out to
you because it could potentially cause some confusion for people. The
main reason I'm here, I have got some concerns about the connection of
Ray Street from Happy Hollow school up north into this development. I
am not sure how well this has been thought out. My son went to Happy
Hollow for six years and I'm quite familiar with the traffic flow that goes
back through there and in the mornings it is backed up and in the
afternoons it is backed up with people getting there early and waiting. I
am concerned that creating an extra point of access to that road is going to
create some confusion and chaos and I guess one of my questions is will
they be putting in sidewalks on the old part of Ray Street that runs
adjacent to the school? As I recall, there are no sidewalks there now.
Ostner: Those would be offsite sidewalks.
Erf: If there aren't sidewalks
there should be sidewalks
so that once they reach
Ray Street
they can stay
on sidewalks. That is my main concern. I hope
somebody
has looked at
this in detail and really
given it some thought.
Planning Commission •' •

Also, there is a city park that is right next to the gymnasium. I was
wondering what was happening with that. It almost looks to me like Ray
Street extension goes right through there. That is an issue because if they
are removing a city park then don't they need to replace the city park, not
just money in lieu of. They are potentially going through an existing city
park and so that ought to be part of the discussion of money in lieu.
Thank you very much.
Ostner: Thank you Mr. Erf. Would anyone else from the public like to speak to
this issue of Cliffside PZD? Seeing none, I will close it to the public and
bring it back to the Commission.
Warrick: I can address some of the questions that Mr. Erf brought up. With regard
to the name of the subdivision, our 911 Coordinator has reviewed that and
will continue to review that. If there are any conflicts we will be made
aware of it and we will also make the developer aware of it so that they
can choose a different name. Typically, if there are two streets that are
named the same we can absolutely not allow for that for 911 purposes but
I don't believe that there is conflict in a subdivision name and a street in
another part of town having that name. The connection to Ray Avenue,
this project was originally submitted back in July and staff has been
working with the developer and the school district representatives since
that time to understand the implications of making that connection and
how it would affect the traffic flow for the city as well as for the students
and the parents and the employees at Happy Hollow school. We had
meetings with the school principal, with representatives from the
superintendents office, with staff, with the developer in the very beginning
to try to get our minds around how this would affect all of the concerned
parties. The school principal presented the proposal to her staff as well as
to her parent groups and it was also presented by the developer at the very
first open house of the school semester. The school board voted on this, I
believe that they heard it at least one of their school board meetings. They
did vote in favor of selling the necessary property to the developers to
make this street connection. Ultimately, they decided that it was in the
best interest of the school as well as the city to make the connection. We
appreciate that fact because we do feel that this is an appropriate
connection. The connection is not going through city parkland. That
property is owned by the school district and there used to be a more
developed trail system through the woods at the north end of the school. It
is not quite as developed as it used to be but the walking trail that this
developer will be building will be able to connect to the trail system that is
left on the north side of Happy Hollow school. I hope that addresses those
concerns. With regard to sidewalks on Ray Avenue, the amount of
property that is being dedicated for right of way is sufficient to provide
sidewalks. I would need the applicant to confirm that they are making the
improvements to include sidewalks. Their improvement will go south to

about 4 h Street, which is the intersecting street just south of the main
entrance drive to Happy Hollow school.
Ostner: Thank you
Clark: Along that same line, isn't a traffic light scheduled for Happy Hollow?
Warrick: The intersection of Happy Hollow and Huntsville is definitely being
reconfigured and improved. That is a CIP Project that I want to say is
projected for very soon. I think it is under design at this point.
Clark: That is a horribly congested area during school days and I would think that
if you had a light coming out of this subdivision you would go to the light
instead of Ray Avenue during pick up and drop off times for school kids.
Dawn, didn't you indicate to us earlier that that is eminent. It is not years
away, it is soon.
Warrick: Our Engineering Design Services Division is designing that intersection
right now. I can't promise that that will be signalized but it will be an
improved intersection and the flow of traffic will be changed.
Ostner: How exactly will it be?
Warrick: I can invite the Engineering Design Services Division to come and talk to
you. I know that the main flow of traffic will be redirected onto Happy
Hollow south as opposed to Huntsville being the primary. That is my
understanding but it is being designed and it has to go through several
approval processes as well as the Street Committee. I don't want to
promise any specific type of configuration.
Shackelford: Mr. Scott, would you enlighten us on your plans for sidewalks along Ray
Avenue?
Scott: We intend to extend sidewalks down Ray Avenue, we are hoping on one .
side, the side where we have parallel parking, on the east side, from the
south edge of our property to where it intersects the existing pavement so
that all of the children from this subdivision can walk down that sidewalk
and access the school so they can walk back and forth to school.
Shackelford: Will that be a 4' or a 6' wide sidewalk?
Scott: I believe we intended 4'. It is a 50' right of way.
Vaught: The proposed
walking trail, is this going
to
be dedicated to the city for
parkland or is
it going to be maintained by
the
P.O.A.?
Planning Commission • ` •
November 8, 2004
Page 39
Pate: It will be maintained by the P.O.A. within a tree preservation common
area easement.
Ostner: I have a few questions for staff on the same notes. On page 7.44, Article
VI in their covenants, they have offered all roadways within Cliffside are
private access easements for vehicular traffic only for the use of owners of
lots in Cliffside.
Warrick: We are going to ask the developer to address that.
Ostner: If you could please address that, that doesn't seem to be appropriate.
Cathca: That was a mistake. That was off of our template covenants that we have
used in our other subdivisions. I apologize.
Ostner: I'm also hoping on 7.47, Common Use Areas, any common areas may be
used by all residents of Cliffside and their guests. I'm hoping that is also
an error.
Cathca: Once again, an error. I apologize.
Ostner: Terrific. Those were concerns of mine. The third issue I have is this trail
that is connecting to the north that is intended for pedestrian flow, we have
had instances of those trails getting fenced. Unintentionally, but a
property owner here, a property owner there and two board fences 10'
apart with a trail in between doesn't make a good system. Can the
developer address that?
Warrick: I don't think that that would even be an option for this development.
There is only one location that this trail goes between two lots. In other
areas it runs adjacent to lots and greenspace or preservation area or
completely through preserved areas.
Ostner: Ok. There is a note on the plat that talks about frontage access. It says
lots 12 and 15 will have access for Happy Hollow. That didn't add up
because those lots are somewhere else. It also says Lots 13 and 14 will
face street one and they are nowhere near street one. I'm hoping this was a
typo again.
Scott: Yes, they got renumbered. The intention is that the access on Happy
Hollow, that we have some of those homes appear to access and maybe
have a driveway in the back, but face Happy Hollow so that it gives more
of a neighborhood look and not a walled community through there so we
agreed to do that on some of those lots there.
Planning Commission •
November 8, 2004
Page 40
Ostner: You are looking at lots 20 through 26 and you are saying that a few of
those will face Happy Hollow?
Scott: Yes Sir. Particularly the ones along the entrance street there. Lots 23 and
24.
Ostner: That's good. That
was
going to be
my next complaint that there were no
eyes on the street.
That
is ok.
Pate: Condition number three also addresses that discrepancy on the plat, that
those notes be revised to reflect those comments that you just made.
Ostner: I believe those are all of my comments.
Clark: On the plat we have got tree preservation and tree preservation/common
area. What percentage is strictly tree preservation and what percentage is
common area?
Pate: As of this moment I can't answer that. There are specific lots designated
on your plats and shown as preserved for tree preservation and common
space. When this project, should it be approved by the Planning
Commission and the City Council, comes back through for a Final Plat
those lots will be restricted from certain development rights and we will be
required to sign off on that Final Plat limiting certain activities on those
specific lots. A developer or a home owner, as with any residential
subdivision, always has the right to move into the lot and position their
home so that they can actually build a home on that site. The developer is
meeting that requirement by stating the required tree preservation amount
along with the exclusion of a building envelope within that lot. Basically,
the lots that are preserved, lots 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117 and 118 are
all tree preservation lots and will remain as such permanently.
Clark: Maybe I should ask the developer, what are you planning to do different in
the /common area lots?.
Scott: The common area there runs along natural drainage courses and we
wanted to leave those as a natural corridor. As Jeremy said, those will be
an area where no development will take place. We did cut the trail out of
that. The trail is not counted as tree preservation area, that has been
removed. We took approximately 50% out of the lots for buildings.
Clark: I've looked at the tree list that Jeremy provided us and you are saving
some very large, significant trees and a whole bunch of them, and you are
to be commended for that. I was just wondering because the common
areas is a different designation within a PZD, what uniqueness for the
Planning Commission •- •:

residents
was going to
be to set it apart
from a tree preservation area and
make it a
common area.
Maybe I'm just
playing a semantical game.
Pate: I believe
on the ground as this is
developed all of the
tree preservation
areas that
you see permanently will
be common areas. It
will be more of a
woodland
type environment.
Clark: I've got one on 112 that is just a tree preservation area but then I've got
others that have /common area so I was wondering if you had planned on
something remarkably special. I'm glad you are saving it. It is a great
idea and there are some large trees there.
Scott: Lot 112 is a lot smaller of an area than 114 or 115. It wouldn't really
function well as a common area for activities or anything like those other
areas would for hiking and so forth.
Clark: Thank you.
MOTION:
Shackelford: As staff made comments earlier, we have seen this a couple of times at
Subdivision Committee. This is a project that has a lot of eyes on it, in
particular, with regard to the extension of Ray Avenue. I personally think
that that extension has been well thought through by both the school board
and city staff along with all sorts of people who were involved with this
project. I think it adds a lot to this project and I am in favor of that as well.
Overall, this is a great development in my mind. We have talked about in
the City of Fayetteville we need a supply of more affordable housing. I
think this serves that need and I like it's close proximity to an elementary
school. I will make a motion that we forward with a recommendation for
approval R-PZD 04-1154 to the City Council with the conditions of
approval as stated with specific determinations on number two, that due to
the smaller width, that these lots be allowed to have shared driveways,
specific finding on number four, a determination of off street
improvements to concur with staffs recommendation of a 28' street with
curb, gutter, storm sewer for the Ray Avenue extension. The
improvements to dissipate a portion of Ray Avenue north of 4t' Street to
be coordinated with the Engineering Division as stated. Basically, subject
to all conditions of approval and staffs comments.
Trumbo: Second.
Ostner: Is there further comment? Could you call the roll Renee?
Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to recommend approval of R-
PZD 04-1154 to the City Council was approved by a vote of 8-0-0.
