RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance amendment to the Unified Development Code adopting a new residential zoning district, RSF-8, Residential Single Family Historic - 8 units/acre. BACKGROUND Many of the older areas in the City of Fayetteville were platted prior to World War II and before the advent of today' s automobile culture and 2,000 to 5,000 sq. ft. homes. Necessarily, these areas required smaller lots and they were typically developed in a compact pedestrian oriented neighborhood pattern. Many lots in the City were platted 40 to 60 feet wide and 100 to 130 feet deep. Homes, outbuildings, and driveways were then placed on lots with consideration to slope, street orientation, and the topography. The current ordinances that we utilize to regulate development are based in the suburban development patterns that dominated the last half century. Our current codes require larger lots, deeper setbacks, street front access, etc., which ensures that new development, for the most part, will reflect these suburban patterns. Historic platted lots must have variances granted in most cases to allow for single family residential infill development. Additionally, existing homes often have to request setback variances in order to add additional living space, outbuildings, porches, etc. Adoption of this new zoning district will allow property owners to bring their properties into compliance without using a variance procedure, and it will encourage the infill development of single family homes in a traditional land use pattern. DISCUSSION The Planning Commission considered this UDC amendment on July 25, 2005, on which they voted 9-0-0 in favor of the recommended amendment. Subsequent discussions with the neighborhood that intends to use this zoning district in a rezoning application have expressed concern regarding utilizing a build to line. Therefore, Planning Staff has • City Council Meeting of October 18, 2005 Agenda Item Number amended the RSF-8 zoning district by requiring a 15 ft. setback line as opposed to the 15 to 25 ft. build to line that was originally suggested. The Ordinance Review Committee discussed this item on September 15, 2005 and voted unanimously to forward it to the City Council with an amendment to the buildable area of the lot. The RSF-8 zoning district amendment reads: The area occupied by all buildings shall not exceed 50% of the total lot area, except when a detached garage exists or is proposed then, the area occupied by all buildings shall not exceed 60% of the total lot area.
