moved from the Building Safety Division to place more emphasis on code enforcement activities. Also,
during 2002, City Council authorized enhanced retirement benefits for the uniform Fire and Police

• Bet*een 1990 and 2002, the number of duplex and multifamily units increased at a greater rate
than single family units, with 68.4 percent and 46.1 percent, respectively.
• The most building permit activity in the 1990's occurred between 1993 and 1995 with 3,489
permits.
• Between 1990 and 2002, 44.75 percent of all residential building permits were single family units,
11 .73 percent were duplex, and 43.52 percent multifamily. .

4. 1 Housing Occupancy And Tenure
City of Fayetteville Planning Division, September 2001
OCCUPANCY. As in 1990,, the number of renter-occupied housing units continues to be higher
_ _than owner-oceupiedhousing units, reflective_ of the large student population. According to the
2000 Census, the total number of occupied housing units increased by almost 41 percent, adding
6,904 units. Approximately 60 percent of the increase in total occupied units is due to the
increase in renter-occupied units, totaling 13,751 in 2000.
VACANCY. Part of the increase in occupied housing units is due to the occupancy of previously
vacant units. As shown in Table 4. 1 , the vacancy rate decreased from 10.3 percent in 1990 to 6.6
percent in 2000. A total of 1 ,669 units are vacant as of the 2000 Census. Fayetteville's vacancy
rate is significantly lower than the state, with a vacancy rate of 11 . 1 , and the nation, with a
vacancy.rate of 9.0. Decreasing vacancy rates have the potential of driving up rental rates and
home purchase prices.

4.2 Residential Housing Type
City of Fayetteville Planning Division, January 2003
Table 4.3 provides information on residential housing by type. To calculate 2000, 2001 , and 2002
number of units, annual building permit data between 1990 and 2002 (see Table 4.4) was added
to data from the 1990 Census. Duplex and multifamily are not separated because in 1990
duplexes were included in the category "2 to 4 units", thus combining duplexes with multifamily
counts. Mobile home data for 2000, 2001 and 2002 was aot available.
The predominant type of housing is single family, comprising 51 .0 percent of all units, In 2002,
there were 14,254 single-family units, an increase of 46. 1 percent from 1990. The number of
duplexes and multifamily is slightly smaller than single-family units (13,685), however, those
categories increased at a greater rate than single family, with a 68.4 percent increase.
UNIVERSITY HOUSING. The University of Arkansas provides on-campus and off-campus
student housing facilities. On-campus facilities include twelve residence halls: two men's; two
women's, seven coed and one graduate coed. In 2000, the residence halls housed 3,018 students
and 256 students were living in on-campus apartments.

• 4.3 Residential Building Permit Activity
City of Fayetteville Planning Divisim January 2003
As Table 4.4 and 4.5 shows, building permit activity between 1990 and 2002 has been volatile.
The total number of units increased steadily between 1990 and 1994, increasing by 1 ,079 units.
Significant increases in duplex and multifamily units contributed to the increase in building permit
activity in 1993 and 1994. In 1995, the number of units decreased and continued the decline until
1999. That year the number of units increased by 583 units. By 2000, the numbers dropped again,
down to 551, from 934 in 1999. The cost of units followed a similar trend, with the total costs
topping out at $74,0552626 in 1994.
A total of 10,057 units were built in Fayetteville between 1990 and 2002. Approximately 44.75
percent of all units were single-family and 43 .52 percent multifamily. Duplexes accounted for
11 .73 percent of all units built. The value of all units during this time period was $697,241,037.
Single-family building permits exceeded multi-family permits in seven of the twelve years.
Table 4.6 provides a permit analysis for the past five years, showing the significant increases in
multifamily permits. Single family building permits have decreased by at least nine percent each
year since 2000. Multifamily building permits have increased by close to 100% each year since
2000. Single-family building permits exceeded multi-family permits in only two of the five years.
In 2002, multifamily represented 74% of all residential building permits.
• Table 4.7 shows an estimated population based on additional housing units permitted in 2001 and
2002. The estimated total population in 2001 is 59,488 and in 2002 is 61,614. These calculations
are based on a 6.6 percent vacancy rate and 2.21 persons per occupied unit.

City of Fayetteville Planning Division, October 2001
.In the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission 2000 Summary Issue, cost
comparisons for single family housing were provided. A total of 319 single family homes were
permitted in 2000. Half of the single family units cost between $75,000 and $ 150,000. The
average cost per single family unit was $ 130,150 with 2,182 average square feet per unit. The
average cost per square foot was $59.66.
Single family affordable housing is considered units under $35,000 for a family of four. The
definition will be updated when new housing cost information is released from Census 2000. As
Table 4.6 shows, one affordable unit was constructed in 2000.

In 1990, median rent in Fayetteville was $351 compared to $352 for all of Washington County
and $274 for the entire State. The City's median rent doubled from the $ 178 recorded in 1980.
In 1990, 5, 162, or 54.4 percent, of the total 9,493 renter-occupied units in Fayetteville had rents
in the $300499 range. Approximately two-thirds of the County's more expensive rental units
$500 and over were located in the City.
• In 2000,-the median rent in Fayetteville was $480. This is an increase. of $ 129 (37%) since 1990.
The $300 - $499 range is still the most common range, with 46.2 perent of all rental units. The
$500 - $745 range also represents a significant number of the total rental units, with
approximately 32 percent. The median rent in Washington county was $490, slightly higher than
the city.
4.7 Affordable Housing
City of Fayetteville Planning Division, 1995
PURPOSE. Most of Fayetteville's earlier affordable housing was attractive to starter families
with modest but potentially growing incomes. Today, the need for affordable housing is also
applicable to individuals and families on fixed incomes such as the elderly, the growing number
of single, female-headed households and persons in public-assisted programs such as Section 8.
Fayetteville seeks to continue the provision of affordable housing within the City and its
Planning Area Provisions are sought that encourage more affordable housing utilizing
conventional construction methods and locations within conventional settings. Fayetteville
further desires to avoid the detrimental social, economic and physical effects of concentrating
affordable housing. A more compatible, integrated approach with the community is desired. In
order to minimize the impact on public funding, private incentives are sought.
• Fayetteville, Arkansas • GENERAL PLAN 2020 • 2001 Revision
4-10
• EXISTING CONDITIONS •
LOCATION AND DESIGN CRITERIA. Affordable housing units should be scattered •
throughout the development in a manner that integrates them with all other units in the
development. The exterior design and construction of affordable units should appear similar to
all other units in the development. Affordable units may be smaller in size than all other units in
the development provided that their size, arrangement, and number does not violate applicable
building and zoning codes.
Subject to City approval, developments of affordable housing exclusively may be permitted.
when constructed separate of other types of residential development, affordable housing should
be compatible in design with approved affordable housing in other locations of the City.
4.8 Future Housing Needs
City of Fayetteville Planning Division, 1995; September 2001
In 1995, the Planning Division estimated 13,845 additional dwelling units will be needed during
the period 1995 - 2020 to serve a total population of 85,090. This estimate is based on 35,826
additional residents at a ratio of 2.49 residents per dwelling unit and a 5 percent vacancy rate.
According to the previous housing projection study, a total of 34,173 housing units would be
needed by 2020 to serve the total projected population. As of 2000, approximately 75 percent of
that goal has been reached, with a total of 25,467 units. Approximately 8,706 more units are •
needed by 2020. During the 1990s, 8,328 units were built. Therefore, if the trend during the
1990s continues, this goal could be reached shortly after 2010. However, actual future housing
needs may be higher than anticipated because population projections for 2000 were lower than
actual counts.
