Pate, Director of Current Planning Date: February 24, 2005 Subject: Rezoning for Mailco USA Inc. (RZN 05- 1372) RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission voted to recommend the subject rezoning request rezoning approximately 2.536 acres of property from RSF-4, Residential Single Family — 4 units per acre, to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial. Planning Staff originally recommended denial of the rezoning request. BACKGROUND Property description: The subject property contains approximately 2.536 acres located east of School Avenue, south of the on-ramp to Fulbright Express Way. A floodway and associated 100-yr floodplain extend along its northern property line. The entire subject property of 4.02 acres is split zoned with C-2 adjacent to School Avenue and RSF-4 to the east. The property for which the rezoning request has been made is currently zoned for residential use. Background: At present, a large scale development for this property has been submitted to the Planning Division. In the process of reviewing the development, it was discovered that a portion of the parking behind the building would encroach within the RSF-4 zoning district. Staff informed the applicant of the situation at Technical Plat Review and encouraged a modification to the development so that the development would be contained within the C-2 zoning district. Soon thereafter, the applicant submitted a request to rezone the entire RSF-4 portion of property to C-2. DISCUSSION This item was heard at the regular Planning Commission on February 14, 2005. No public comments were received. The Planning Commission voted 9-0-0 to recommend to the City Council approval of rezoning request to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial. BUDGETIMPACT None. ORDINANCE NO.

The request is to rezone the subject property to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial. Property Owner: KATHY FERGUSON Planner: Suzanne Morgan RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the requested rezoning based on the findings herein. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES XApproved O Denied Date: February 14, 200554„r 'nk J -O -O CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Required /YES O Approved O Denied Date: March 15, 2005 (1st readine if recommended) BACKGROUND: Property description: The subject property contains approximately 2.536 acres located east of School Avenue, south of the on-ramp to Fulbright Express Way. A floodway and associated 100-yr floodplain extend along its northern property line. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, adjacent to School Avenue and RSF-4, Residential Single Family — 4 units per acre, to the east. Zoning: The property consists of all of lots 4 and 5 of J.W. Skelton Addition and part of lots 3 , 6 and 7 (see attached). The General Plan designates all of lots 3 and 4 Mixed Use and property to the east of these lots Residential . The portion of this property zoned C-2 is located within the area designated Mixed Use. The remainder of the lot is zoned RSF-4. Background: Several months prior to the application for large scale development, Planning staff K. IRepora0005PC ReporaIO2-14-05WZN 05-1371 (bhil Co.).doe met with the applicant regarding possibilities for development and the approval process (i.e. LSD and PZD). At this time, the applicant was made aware that the property was zoned both commercial and residential, and any development related to or associated with the proposed commercial use must be contained within the property zoned C-2. The property owner subsequently submitted an application for a large scale development to construct a 13,000 s.f. structure for Mail Co. Upon review of the large scale development plans, it was discovered that a portion of the parking behind the building would encroach within the RSF-4 zoning district. Staff informed the applicant of the situation at Technical Plat Review and encouraged a modification to the development so that the development would be contained within the C-2 zoning district. Soon thereafter, the applicant submitted a request to rezone the RSF-4 portion of the property to C-2. Proposal: The applicant intends to develop the property for commercial use. The large scale development is currently tabled pending the resolution of this rezoning request. Request• The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned from RSF-4, Residential Single Family, 4 Dwelling Units per Acre, to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial. Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the rezoning request based on findings herein. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Direction Land Use Zoning North Single family residential RSF-4, Res.

Single Family — 4 units/acre West Vacant C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: Currently the site has access to South School. At the time of development, this street will need to be brought up to current standards along the property frontage. These improvements may include right-of-way dedication, storm drainage and sidewalks. Surrounding Master Street Plan Streets: North: Skelton St. (Local) South: Whillock St (Local) East: None West: School Avenue (Principal Arterial) Water: The site currently does have access to public water. The nearest water main is an 8" main on the east side along S. School Avenue. Water service will need to be extended within the property at the time of development. Additional connections may be required to complete looped systems. %9Repora120051PC ReporaIO2-14-051RU O5-1372 (Abil Co.).doc Sewer: The site currently does have access to sanitary sewer. There is a 6" sewer main to the west. Fire: The subject property is located approximately 3 miles from the Fire Station 41 . Response time to the property is approximately 5 minutes. Police: It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this rezoning MLnot 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. LAND USE PLAN: General Plan 2020 designates the property Mixed Use and Residential. The portion of property adjacent to School Avenue, currently zoned C-2, is designated Mixed Use on the General Plan. 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 C-2 zoning for the subject property is not consistent with the land use plan and planning objectives and policies set forth in the General Plan 2020. The property requested to be rezoned is designated Residential and surrounded by property zoned RSF-4 and developed for this purpose. Extending the C-2 zoning east is inconsistent with the development and use of the property. At this time, the property on which the applicant desires to develop is currently vacant. It is appropriate for a commercial use to be located adjacent to School Avenue, a major thoroughfare along which compatible businesses exist. Extending these development rights into a residential area may create a nuisance and is not consistent with the guiding policy for residential areas in the General Plan 2020, which states, "9.8.d Manage non-residential development within and adjoining residential neighborhoods to minimize nuisances." 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The property has a total 4.02 acres, of which 2.536 acres is zoned RSF-4. The remaining 1.484 acres is zoned C-2 and may be developed for commercial use. Sufficient property is available to develop a use allowed within the C-2 zoning district. To enlarge the C-2 zoning district as proposed is not justified, nor is it appropriate to expand development rights for these uses further into the existing residential properties. K:IReporaUO051PC Repor6101-14-OARZN 05-/371 (Al2d Co.).doc • • 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The property is only accessible from School Avenue, designated a Major Arterial street. The traffic generated by commercial uses is substantially greater than the amount resulting in the development of single family residential units. Rezoning the property C-2 may increase the traffic on School Ave. Although development of the property for commercial or office type uses may increase the amount of traffic to the site, it will not cause an increase in population. The Fayetteville Police Department has determined that this rezoning 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. 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 increase population density. Under the current RSF-4 zoning district, a maximum 10 dwelling units would be permitted on this property (4 units per acre). Although the proposed rezoning of the property would not increase population, it is not consistent with the land use and zoning in the immediate vicinity. Increased load on public services were taken into consideration and recommendations from Engineering, Fire, and Police Departments are included in this report. 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 ( I ) through (4) above why the proposed zoning is not desirable.
