• The Fayetteville Planning Commission met in the City Council Room in the City
Administration Building at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 23, 1965•
Members present: J. F. Palmer, Bryan Walker, Bill Dalton, Allan Gilbert, Clark
McClinton, Ernest Jacks and Wade Fincher.
Members absent: Suzanne C. Lighton and Henry Shreve.
Others present: J. A. Vizzier, Planning Consultant; Bill Bequette; Philip
Bashor; E. R. Moore, his wife and his daughter.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Palmer. The Chairman reported that
the purpose of the meeting was to hold a public hearing to hear and consider three
petitions for rezoning.
The first petition to be heard was that of Bill Bequette, Joe Wilson and Argil
Bartholomew in which a request was made for the rezoning from R-2 Two Family
Residential District to I-lB Light Industrial District of property located in
Block 17 and Block 18 of Ferguson's Addition to the City of Fayetteville,
Arkansas, and lots 1, 18 and 19 in Block 2 of Wilson -Dunn Addition to the City
of Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Chairman Palmer asked that those present in favor of the request for rezoning be
heard.
• Bill Bequette,petitioner, told the Planning Commission that he had petitioned for
the rezoning of lots 18 and 19 so that he could build a warehouse -type building
and rent offices to a plumbing or an electrical contractor. When he submitted his
petition, it was suggested that the property owner to the north be contacted (Argil
Bartholomew) and asked to join the petition. Since the petition before the Planning
Commission had been filed, Bill Bequette said he had purchased lot 1 of Block 2
in Wilson -Dunn Addition from Joe Wilson. Mr. Bequette stated that the rezoning
and the proposed building had nothing to do with any extension of the livestock
yard. A change in zoning had been requested so as to protect the residential
property to the south of the livestock yard.
There were no persons present who wished to voice any objection to the request,
nor were any petitions filed objecting to the change in zoning. Chairman Palmer
reported that a portion of the public hearing had been acomplished and that the
public hearing for the petition of Bill Bequette, Joe Wilson and Argil Bartholomew
was over.
The request for a change in zoning of a lot on the East side of Wood Avenue from
R-2 Two Family Residential District to R-3 Multi -Family Residential District was
considered next.
The Chairman asked that those present at the hearing who wished to speak in favor
of the petition do so.
• Mrs. E. R. Moore stated that a change in zoning was requested so that the car port
attached to their residence on Wood Avenue could be converted into a beauty shop.
A petition with the signatures of the neighborhs of the Moore Family was filed with
the Planning Com=issim. The petition stated that the property owners had no
132
objection to the conversion of the car port into a beauty shop.
• There were no objections to the request of E. R. Moore made known at the public
hearing. Chairman Palmer reported that the public hearing on the petition of
E. R. Moore for a change in zoning was over.
The last petition for which a public hearing was called was the petition of
the Planning Commission for the rezoning of all of lot 11 in Park Village Addition
except the west 15 feet. The request was for the rezoning from R-2 Two Family
Residential District to C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial District of this portion of
lot 11 for the purpose of keeping property owned by one person and operated for
commercial use in a C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial District.
Philip Bashor, 3 West Trenton Boulevard, said he had talked to his neighbors.
Some of the neighbors felt that the change was not of any great important and
others felt that it should be given a closer look. He and a majority of the
persons on the south side of Trenton agreed in Principle'.that the change in zoning
does appear to be a correction of the zoning and the changing of a non -conforming
use to a conforming use. However, he felt there was no real need as the motel is
operated effectively and if the operation is to exist and the present use is to
continue there would be no need for a change in zoning.
If there is more to the request than clearing up the zoning map and if the use is
to be changed, then.there is an important material reason for not changing the
zoning from R-2 to C-2. Commercial zone does permit all sorts of uses. The motel
as stands does not conflict with the residential character but all other uses
• permitted in the C-2 zone would seem to conflict with the residential uses.
Mr. Bashor said that in his opinion the oddity in zoning as -it presently is helps
to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Bashor filed a petition with the Planning Commission. The petition had
signatures of property owners on the south side of Trenton Boulevard. The petition
stated that the signers objected to the change in zoning as requested.
There being no further discussion on the petition of the Planning Commission,
Chairman Palmer declared that the purpose of the public hearing had been
acommplished and was over.
There was discussion of the petition by the Planning Commission for its request
that consideration -be given to the rezoning of part of lot 11 in Park Village
Addition. Bryan Walker moved that the Planning Commission by resolution recommend
to the City Council that all of lot 11 in Park Village Addition to the City of
Fayetteville, Arkansas, except the west 15 feet be rezoned from R-2 Two Family
Residential District to C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial District and that said rezoning
be for the purpose of including property owned by one person and operated for
commercial use in the same zoning classification and thereby correcting an error
made in the zoning district map. The motion was seconded by Clark McClinton and
passed unanimously.
