CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru : Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: September 29, 2005
Subject: Amendment to Walnut Crossing Planned Zoning District (ADM 05- 1744)
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance amending the Walnut Crossing
Planned Zoning District, to allow for reduced side setbacks within the proposed lots to
five feet total on each side, with a minimum separation of ten feet between buildings.
BACKGROUND
Project Description: The approved Residential Planned Zoning District for Walnut
Crossing is a rezoning and preliminary plat approval for a single family and cluster home
development consisting of 136 single family lots and 59 cluster homes (two-family
dwelling units). A 5 .02-acre public park is planned, as well as a large tree preservation
area along the floodplain of the creek.
Background: The original R-PZD for this site was recommended for approval to the City
Council with a unanimous vote by the Planning Commission on September 27, 2004,
with all conditions as stated by staff. Numerous determinations were made by the
Planning Commission as well, and are reflected in the attached staff report. The City
Council approved R-PZD 04- 1181 on November 16, 2004, with those conditions. Zoning
criteria, as well as development approval, were proposed and accepted with the approval
of the Planned Zoning District, including building setbacks.
Proposal: As depicted on the drawings included in this report, the applicant requests to
modify the submitted plans for the development associated with this project, to reflect a
modified building side setbacks for all lots in question. There are two areas in question,
known as the "Residents" and the "Villas." Within the "Residents" (lots 1 -67), the
request is to modify the approved 7.5-foot side setbacks to 5-foot side setbacks, reducing
the overall distance between structures from 15 feet to 10 feet. Within the "Villas" (lots
68- 136), the request is to modify the approved 5-foot side setback on one side and I0-
foot side setback on the other to 5 feet on both sides, essentially creating the same 10-foot
separation distance between structures as within the "Residents." These zoning criteria
modifications are requested in order to provide for a larger, wider home product in order
for the development to be successful, according to the applicant' s letter of request .

RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of ADM 05-1744, the requested modification to the zoning
criteria approved with the R-PZD 04- 1181 site plans. It is staff' s finding that the intent of this
project is not changed with the requested setback modifications, as they are minor and do little to
modify the overall result of the proposed development. The stuctures are required to meet
building code requirements, and will be approved as building permits through Building Safety.
Separation of structures by 10 feet is not uncommon in many parts of the city, and staff finds that
this proposal is in keeping with the Planned Zoning District approval. Additionally, a large 5-acre
park and other common greenspace is provided within the development, allowing for a shared
greenspace amenity for future residents.
Condition of Approval:
1 . The applicant shall submit one (2) full sets of revised drawings for file copies.
2. City Council approval of the requested zoning criteria modification is required.

DEVELOPMENT
From: Kim Hesse, Land Developer, Rausch Coleman Development
To: Jeremy Pate, Director, Fayetteville Planning Dept.
Re: Walnut Crossing RPZD 04- 1181
Date: September 19, 2005
Dear Mr. Pate,
The Rausch Coleman Development Group requests the opportunity to slightly alter some of the
criteria for a RPZD development that was approved last year by the Fayetteville Planning
Commission and Fayetteville City Council. RPZD 04- 1181 , known as Walnut Crossing, was
forwarded with an `approval' recommendation by the Fayetteville Planning Commission on
Monday, September 27, 2004 and subsequently approved into ordinance form by the Fayetteville
City Council on November 16, 2004. The following are changes we would like to request in this
approved development:
1) Side Setback reduction to 5' on Lots 1 through 67 for the single family lots known as the
Residents. These lots are 55-foot-wide with approved side setbacks of 7 %z feet on each
side. We would like to change these side setbacks to 5 foot and 5 foot on each side, a
requested change of 2 %z feet per side, which means the side distance between homes would
change from 15 feet to 10 feet.
2) Side Setback reduction to 5' on Lots 68 through 136 which are the single family lots
proposed for rear entry homes accessed from an alley. This area is known as the Villas and
these lots are 45-foot-wide. We would like to request the side setbacks be changed from the
currently- approved 5 feet on one side of the house and 10 feet on the other side of the
house to 5 feet on both sides of the house. This is a requested change of 5 feet on one side
of the house and 0 feet on the other side of the house, which means the side distance
between homes would change from 15 feet to 10 feet.
We have the understanding that this revision to the approved RPZD 04- 1181 can be brought before
the Planning Commission and City Council as an administrative item. Construction on the
subdivision infrastructure has begun as we work towards finalizing house plans for the project.
Please review this request at the earliest possible opportunity and contact me if there are any
questions or comments. We are anxious to move forward with this project.
Thank yo or your onsideration in this matter.

ADDENDUM MEMO
From : Kim Hesse, Director of Land Development, Rausch Coleman
Development
To : Jeremy Pate, Director of Planning, City of Fayetteville
Re: Walnut Crossing Setback Reduction Request
Date: September 20, 2005
Dear Mr. Pate,
Please find under separate cover our detailed request to alter the setbacks for the
Walnut Crossing project RPZD 04- 1181 . Our reasons for the requests are as follows:
1 ) Since our initial approval in September of 2004 Rausch Coleman
Development has reviewed the house plans and realized that we need the
flexibility to build wider homes to enable this development to be a success.
2) With less restrictive setbacks we could provide for larger homes without
having to add a second story which is not always popular with the wide
variety of home buyers we anticipate attracting to this development.
3 ) These less restrictive setbacks would also give us the ability to allow for at
least one larger side yard for homebuyers that are satisfied with the narrower
home but want a garden or lawn space.
Sincerely,
Kim Hesse

R-PZD 04-1181: Planned Zoning District (WALNUT CROSSING SUBDIVISION):
Submitted by ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC for property located at THE NORTH SIDE OF
HWY 62W, EAST OF LAYNE STREET. The property contains approximately 52.98 acres in
total. A total of 43.30 is zoned R -A, RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL; the remaining 9.68
acres lies within the City of Farmington. The request is to approve a Residential Planned Zoning
District with 136 single family lots and 6.47 acres of "cluster homes" on the subject property.
Property Owner: RAUSCH-COLEMAN HOMES, LLC Planner: JEREMY PATE
Findings:
Property Description: The property consists of a total of 52.98 acres located in west Fayetteville
and east Farmington, north of Hwy 62 (6t" Street). A property line adjustment and lot split have
been filed to create the subject 52.98 -acre tract. Of the 52.98 acres in review for development,
only 43.30 acres is within the City of Fayetteville, the remainder of which lies within the City of
Farmington. Two legal descriptions, therefore, accompany the proposal: one for the rezoning,
from R -A, Residential Agricultural to the unique R-PZD zoning district (43.30 acres); and a
second for the Preliminary Plat being processed simultaneously, subdividing property in both
jurisdictions (52.98 acres). The City of Farmington has been notified and is in the process of
reviewing development plans separately from the City of Fayetteville.
The tract consists primarily of agricultural land, with several significant trees and areas of high
priority canopy falling along property boundaries old fence lines, within the proposed parkland
or along the Farmington Branch creek.

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 single
family and cluster home development consisting of 136 single family lots and 59 cluster homes
(two-family dwelling units). A 5.02 -acre public park is proposed, as well as a large tree
preservation area along the lloodplain of the creek.

No residential structures permitted
Total proposed dwelling units on the 43.30 -acre site requested for rezoning is 195, therefore the
proposed density for the R-PZD is 4.50 DU/acre. (On the real property, including the acreage
within the City o(Farmington, acreage equals 52.98 acres, thus real density is 3.68 DU/acre).
The developer proposes a mixture of lot sizes and types. Some of the lots are arranged such that
they face onto the public street; others are accessed from rear alleys. Typical lot sizes and
proposed setbacks are much smaller than those allowed in standard zoning districts, thus the
need for processing a Planned Zoning District. Two of the large lots are proposed for "cluster
homes," in two-family units, consisting of a total of 59 cluster homes (units). Both of these lots
will require large scale development approval, as final designs have not been formulated.
However, the conceptual plans indicated are intended to provide an idea of the development to
occur there in the future.
Water & Sewer: Water and sewer lines are being extended to serve the development.
Access/Connectivity: The sole existing access is from Hwy 62 to the south, through the City of
Farmington jurisdiction. The applicant has been in contact with the City of Farmington, and will
present the project to both the Planning Commission and City Council there prior to final
approvals from the City of Fayetteville. The Master Street Plan currently indicates an east -west
Collector Street in the area of the proposed development. The proposed development intends to
meet this Plan, only moving the connection to a more feasible location, approximately 600 feet

to the north, out of the Farmington Branch area. The proposed Collector Street is aligned to
connect to Alberta Street to the west and eventually connect to the future Rupple Road to the
cast. Another stub -out is proposed to the north. All interior streets are loop streets within 50 feet
of right-of-way, with no dead -ends. The two northern blocks of single family lots are served by
private alley -drives. All lots served by alleys are prohibited from having street -front facing
garages, and access must be from the provided rear alleys. All alleys are private, to be
maintained by the POA. The alleys are 12 feet in width, one-way, within a minimum 20 -foot
access casement.
Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets: Wilson Drive, Collector
Street Improvements: No off -site street improvements are recommended for this development.
The developer will be required to build the access street from Hwy 62, including the creek
crossing, to City of Fayetteville standards, as well as all other interior streets. Right-of-way for
the future Collector Street will be dedicated.
Tree Preservation: Existing: 9.95%
Preserved: 7.58%
Required: 9.95%
Mitigation: On -site mitigation required: (182) 2" caliper trees
* see attached report
Parks: The Parks and Recreation board recommends a parkland dedication for the subject
development. A total of 5.02 acres is being offered by the developer, which exceeds that required
for this project. No banking of excess land, however, is requested. The covenants address
fencing/interface with the public park. A four -foot fence split -rail type is to be maintained for
those lots 10-33 bordering the public park. No chain link or metal poles are to be allowed.
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 04-1181 with the following
conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
Permitted uses in this R-PZD shall be restricted to Use Unit 1: City-wide Uses by Right,
Use Unit 8: Single Family Dwellings, Use Unit 9: Two -Family Dwellings, Use Unit 10:
Three -Family Dwellings and Use Unit 26: Multi -family Dwellings, in those locations
noted.
2. Planning Commission determination of a Master Street Plan amendment to relocate
Wilson Drive, an east -west Collector Street, approximately 600 feet to the north, as
presented with the subject development proposal, in order to facilitate a better
connection. Slnff is in support of this request, as it meets the intent ant/purpose of die

Planning Commission determination of parkland dedication. The Parks and Recreation
Board recommends parkland be dedicated for this project. A deed for the 5.02 acres shall
be received prior to Final Plat. PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED IN
FAVOR OF THE RECOMMENDED PARKLAND.
4. Planning Commission determination of residential lot access management. Due to the
smaller lot width (50'-55) on those single family lots not accessed from rear alleys, staff
finds a coordinated plan sensitive to pedestrian and vehicular safety, general
attractiveness and convenience must be presented by the applicant for access to each lot
to ensure a dangerous traffic situation is not created. Based on discussion with the
applicant and Subdivision Committee, staff recommends a combination of shared
driveways and reduced driveway widths for these lots in particular, in order to keep a
logical proportion in relation to the lot width. For those lots not utilizing shared
driveways, the maximum driveway width shall be 12 feet, constructed per city codes. For
shared driveways, a maximum 24 foot driveway may be constructed, with location to be
coordinated with city staff. Shared driveways may straddle property lines. PLANNING
COMMISSION DETERMINED IN FAVOR OF STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR
A COMBINATION SHARED/REDUCED WIDTH DRIVEWAY PLAN.

RE: ADM 05-1744 — Walnut Crossing
Comment:
The following attachments are in context to New Business item #6 on your October 18`h agenda.
ADM 05-1744 is a request to reduce side setbacks on previously approved lots in the Walnut
Crossing RPZD 04-1181. The following attachments include the following:
1) A letter explaining the purpose behind the setback reduction request as well as a
definition of attainable housing which is a key component to the development.
2) A site plan of the entire development which includes the two zoning areas where
the setbacks are requested. The Villas are shown in the blue hatch and the
Residents in the orange hatch. The entire development as approved in November
of 2004 consists of 52.98 acres of which a portion is within the Farmington city
limits. The subdivision is proposed for 198 units overall with a 5 acre park
dedicated to the public and an additional 9 acres in open space within the flood
plain of the North Fork of the Farmington Branch Creek. The overall density,
including the area in Farmington which only contains the detention pond, equals
3.7 units per acre. The density within the Fayetteville acreage alone is 4.6 units
per acre.
3) A page of graphics are included that represent the style of housing and the
character of the development we are trying to achieve.

Fayetteville City Council

Fayetteville, AR 72701
• RE: ADM 05-1744 R-PZD 041181 Walnut Crossing,
Dear, Council Members: • .
The Rausch Coleman Develg ment Group appreciates the opportunity to. request minor side
setback reductions for the Walnut -Crossing. Residential Planned Zoning District. As was
approved by the Council in November of 2004, Walnut Crossing is intended to provide attainable
housing for the work force sector of our community. This will be a neighborhood of quality built
homes accompanied by amenities: that are typically afforded by only the. higher, priced
developments.
During the Planning Commission discussions', requesting the reduction of side setbacks on
Monday, September 26th, there was concern that by allowing smaller setbacks, larger homes
would be built thus increasing the cost of the homes. The request for side setback reduction is to
allow. us to build a variety of single and double story floor plans that. were not available to us with
the setbacks previously approved. The original vision for building 1100 to 1600 square foot -
affordable homes is still shared by Rausch .Coleman: According to the National Low- Income
Housing Coalition, www.nlihc.ore, housing is considered affordable if a household pays no more
than 30% of their income on rent or mortgage payments. Affordable housing varies based on the
income level you are trying to provide for. Walnut Crossing is intended to provide housing for
the median income household: Families that fall within the median income level include that of,
America's work force; our teachers, police and fire personnel, retail and restaurant employees,
factory"workers and service. personnel to name a few.
The average median income in Washington. County is approximately $35,000.00 per household.
For an income level of $35,000, an affordable mortgage payment would equal up to $875:00 per
month. The homes in Walnut Crossing are intended to range in cost from $1 I0,000 to
$160,000.00. Calculating a home loan with 6.6% interest, a family borrowing $135,000.00 would
make payments of $862.19 a month on a 30 year mortgage which falls within that 30%. Based on
these factors, the houses Rausch Coleman intends to build in Walnut'Crossing can clearly be
defined as affordable for the median income household.- ,
We hope this helps to define affordable housing and clarify the reason behind requesting the
setback reduction. As the cost of building materials continue to rise, Rausch Coleman Homes will
continue to strive to'provide quality, affordable work force housing within the Walnut Crossing
development.
