CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: November 1 , 2007
Subject: Vantage Center Planned Zoning District Expiration
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends approval of a waiver for Vantage Center R-PZD from the
Unified Development Code, §166. 20 Expiration of Approved Plans and Permits, with the
condition that all building permits shall be obtained by the applicant prior to October 4,
2008 or the project shall return through the Planned Zoning District review process, in
accordance with the ordinances in place at the time of submittal.
BACKGROUND
The subject property contains approximately 4.68 acres, located at the end of Shepard
Lane between Frontage Road and Steam Street. The City Council adopted an ordinance
granting approval of a Planned Zoning District (R-PZD 05- 1543) on the site on October
4, 2005. The combination zoning and development action allowed for the development of
a mixed use development consisting of four buildings. Each of the proposed buildings
would contain 6,733 SF of non-residential space, twelve two-bedroom units, and seven
one-bedroom units, for a total of 26,932 SF of non-residential space and 76 residential
units.
The subject Planned Zoning District was approved in October of 2005, prior to the
adoption of the current Planned Zoning District Ordinance amendments that allow for
larger and more complex projects to request a more reasonable period of time in which to
obtain building permits. When this project was approved, there was in place a blanket
one-year time period in which to obtain all building permits associated with the project.
The Vantage Center project is very similar to the Southern View Phase II PZD in
southwest Fayetteville, which has just been completed. The applicant has chosen to wait
and see how the market would react to a mixed-use produce of this type, before the
substantial investments were made to move forward with the project. Now that the
Southern View Phase II project is complete, the applicant has made the decision to move
forward with the project and has applied for grading and building permits.
A one-year approval extension was granted by the Planning Commission on October of
2006, extending the approval to October 4, 2007. While processing the building permits
City Council Meeting of November 20, 2007
Agenda Item Number
for this development the one-year extension expired and the City can not continue
processing building permits for the subject property. Given the unique nature of the
project being very similar to the Southern View phase II project that was recently
completed, as well as the additional submittal requirements under the new PZD
ordinance, staff would support a waiver from the Unified Development Code to allow for
this project to continue in the process of obtaining building permits without having to
process a new Planned Zoning District application through the development review
process, also meeting all new submittal requirements. We feel it is evident the
applicant/developer is actively pursuing the development of this project, which was the
intent of the ordinance adoption. Staff proposes a time limit on the extension of the
approval of approximately one year, to expire on October 4, 2008. Building permits will
be able to be pulled for the buildings that can be permitted immediately; however, an
existing waterline has to be relocated before permits can be pulled on two of the
buildings, which is another delay in pulling permits. All building permits for Vantage
Center PZD would have to be obtained for this project by October 4, 2008, or the
approvals would expire without the ability to request renewal by the Planning
Commission.

RE: PZD Expiration
Vantage Center
CTA Job No. 021131 -01
Dear Mr. Pate:
On behalf of Mr. Jim Lindsey (a.k.a. Vantage Center LLP), we request the city council's
consideration to allow a one year extension of the Vantage Center Mixed use project to
secure building permits. The approval for this project was conditioned on the PZD
receiving all its building permits within one calender year. An extension for an additional
year was granted by the planning commission, however the current ordinance does not
allow the planning commission to approve any more time above one year.
This project if very similar to "Southern View phase II", which has just been completed. It
was the intent to see how the market would react to a mixed-use product of this type,
before the big investments were made to move forward. Now that that Southern View
phase II is complete, we should be able to determine the feasibility of this product within
the next few months. Therefore, we have delayed starting construction and pulling
building permits until that determination can be made. Southern View phase II took
longer to construct than was anticipated.
Engineering has approved the current plans, and a pre-construction meeting has been
held by City of Fayetteville staff for site work. Building permits are being pulled for the
buildings that can be permitted at this time, however an existing waterline has to be
relocated before permits can be pulled on 2 of the buildings, which is another delay in
pulling permits before the deadline date.
We appreciate your assistance with this project and ask that the city council look
favorably on this request. When completed, we believe Vantage Center will be another
true mixed use product the city has been trying develop.
Sincerely,
Crafton, Tull, Sparks & Associates, Inc.
Jerry Kelso, P.E.

Property Owner: VANTAGE CENTER, LLC Planner: ANDREW GARNER
Findings:
Background: This proposal was first heard at Technical Plat Review on June 1 , 2005 and was
tabled by staff due to concerns with site development plans. The revisions produced following
subsequent meetings with staff are those presented before the Subdivision Committee.
Property and Setting: The site is located at the end of Shepard Lane in northern Fayetteville
between Frontage Road and Steam Street. The site is largely undeveloped with the existing
Lindsey Communications residential-office building and a gravel drive located in the western
portion of the site. The some stands of mature trees trending north-south through some of the
eastern portions of the site. As depicted in Table 1, the site is surrounded by a mix of
commercial and residential uses.

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 mixed
use development consisting of four buildings. Each of the proposed buildings will contain 6,733

The development proposes 187 parking spaces, which is within the +/-30% allowed by ordinance.
The development is proposed to have two means of access with Shepard Lane extending east-
west through the development in a "Main Street" streetscape, linking Frontage Road to the west
with Steam Street to the east. Shepard Lane would incorporate parallel parking and widened
sidewalks, with the majority of parking located to the rear of the four structures. Additionally,
two greenspace areas in the center of the development would be utilized for as park/gathering
areas and stormwater detention. The development is intended to create a true mixed-use
development consisting where residential and commercial uses can co-exist using the same
building, parking areas, and surrounding amenities. The existing residential community to the
east of the site as well as the proposed residential uses on the site will help support the
commercial businesses planned in this development. The development is proposed to be under
single ownership, with dwelling units rented and retail space leased. All interior streets,
landscaping, common areas and buildings would be maintained by the developer. Zoning
criteria for the proposed zoning district is depicted in Table 3.
Street Improvements Proposed: Improvements to Frontage Drive along the project frontage of
14' from centerline including pavement, curb and gutter, and six-foot sidewalks.
Tree Preservation:
Existing Canopy: 21%
Preserved Canopy: 5%
Mitigation Required: 88 onsite trees

Recommendation: Staff recommends forwarding R-PZD 05-1543 with a reconunendation of
approval to the full Planning Commission with the following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
1. Planning Commission determination of commercial design standards. Slafffinds that the
building elevations meet the City 's commercial design standards by minimizing or
avoiding: unarticulated wall surfaces, square "boxlike " structures, metal siding that
dominates the main facades, and large out of scale signs. Additionally, the development
provides a unifying and identifiable theme and is compatible with adjacent development.
PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED IN FAVOR OF THIS CONDITION
