4. Old Business:
ADM 15-5093: Administrative Item (UDC Chapters 161, 164 and 172/SINGLE FAMILY
INFILL STANDARDS): Submitted by CITY PLANNING STAFF for revisions to Chapters
161, 164 and 172 to modify the bulk and area regulations to encourage small-lot, single
family infill in multi-family zoning districts, and to include minimum design standards for this
type of development.
Jesse Fulcher, Senior Planner, read the staff report.
No public comment was presented.
Commissioner Chesser asked about changes since the last meeting.
Fulcher described the changes to two-family lots.
Commissioner Hoffman asked about how the lot changes could influence building design.
Fulcher discussed various scenarios and stated that the changes should make building
designs worse. That is really a product of the design and not lot size.
Commissioner Hoskins stated that wider lots may encourage a more linear design with
buildings turned sideways rather than along the street.
Commissioner Hoskins asked about the density and lot standards in each district.
Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, stated that the lot standards are based on the
density of each district.
Commissioner Hoskins asked why there are two different side setback requirements.
Fulcher stated that smaller homes would not need a larger side setback, but that taller multi-
family buildings normally need greater separation from adjacent properties.
Commissioner Chesser asked about townhouse development.
Fulcher discussed the various codes that allow townhouse development.
Commissioner Hoskins asked about the development standards required when
development involves more than a two-family units —grading, drainage, etc.
Fulcher discusses drainage impacts that can be created from development without
drainage improvements.
Garner discussed that these were Chapter 166, Development items and something that
could be discussed separately from the current code amendments related to zoning.
Commissioner Cook stated that he appreciated staff looking at these code amendments.

ADM 15-5090: Administrative Item (AMENDMENT TO THE MINIMUM STREET
STANDARDS GUIDELINE- UDC CHAPTER 171, STREETS & SIDEWALKS): Submitted
by CITY ENGINEERING STAFF for revisions to Chapter 171 to modify the Minimum Street
Standards Guideline.
Chris Brown, City Engineer, gave the staff report. A purpose statement has been added to
the code; language related to retaining wall locations has been adjusted. The procedure for
vacations has been amended slightly. Most of the rest of it is removing some of the technical
things out of the code but will now be in the minimum street standards design manual. We
have been working on this for multiple years. It has been through the Transportation
Committee with a recommendation for approval.
No public comment was presented.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed that a lot of it will be taken out of the UDC and placed
in a manual. Where can they find this manual?
Brown discussed the location on the website for developers and applicants to access this
manual.
Commissioner Hoskins asked if there are significant changes in the code and if so, have
you talked to engineers about the changes.
Brown discussed that they have sent this draft manual to engineers over the last few months
for them to use. We have some new materials in our street design manual that will be
allowed such as Superpave.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed his only problem is that flexibility is sometimes
ambiguous.
Brown indicated that the big thing we heard complaints about were the curb return radius
for new urbanism projects and we have addressed that.
Commissioner Hoffman asked about the extent of the changes.
Brown discussed that these standards build upon the Master Street Plan. The biggest
change really was the intersections. Really throughout the document we have changed the
document to reflect the current Master Street Plan. This is a much more fine-grained look at
development requirements.
Commissioner Hoffman discussed that bike lanes often have a grade change or a change
in materiality in other countries; have we addressed that?
Brown discussed that we do not specifically address that. I don't know if it goes that far in
that particular chapter.
Commissioner Cook asked for comments from the City Attorney.
City Attorney applauded staff for their efforts. However, he discussed that a reference to a
manual in the ordinance makes it law and allowing the City Engineer to change the manual
is changing the law. He discussed that we can make some changes to the wording of this
Planning Commission

code to allow certain variance approvals to the City Engineer and actual changes to the
manual will need to go through City Council for approval. We can keep the same sort of
flexibility but if something comes up that we need to change the manual, that should go
through City Council. I don't want to delay this and we can work through the wording to this
on the way to City Council.
Commissioner Chesser asked the City Attorney about the motion to forward this item.
Commissioner Cook discussed a potential concern with losing consistency by allowing this
increased flexibility.
Commissioner Brown thanked staff for their intents behind everything they are doing here.
Commissioner Hoskins asked why certain technical items were in the manual and some
were not.
Brown discussed the placement of items in the manual.
Commissioner Brown asked if their objectives have been met?
Brown indicated, yes.
Motion:
Commissioner Brown made a motion to forward ADM 15-5090 recommending approval
with the understanding that Engineering will work with the City Attorney's office to
address concerns brought up at the meeting. Commissioner Autry seconded the
motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 7-0-0.

135/174): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL for property located at 4030 N. COLLEGE AVE.
The property is zoned C-2, THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL, and contains approximately
1.98 acres. The request is for construction of a 3,600 square foot restaurant with associated
parking.
Quin Thompson, Current Planner, gave the staff report.
No public comment was presented.
Ronald Watkins, Applicant, was present to answer questions.
Tracy Hoskins, Commissioner, noted that the east elevation had been revised and
improved as discussed at Subdivision Committee. He alerted the applicant that there is a
limit on the number of wall signs a building may have, and that the elevations appeared to
be in excess of that limit.
Watkins said that he understood.
William Chesser, Vice Chair, asked staff if the proposed signage met code requirements.
Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, said that it did not. He added that signage is not
reviewed/approved in the LSD [Large Scale Development] process.
Hoskins said that the east elevation appeared to have adequate articulation without the
signage being required.
Ron Autry, Commissioner, agreed that the elevation met all requirements and did not need
the sign.
Tom Brown, Commissioner, said that articulation and signage had been discussed only as
examples of ways to improve the elevation, and that he had not intended to require the sign
specifically. He added that he appreciated seeing sidewalk added to the College Avenue
frontage.
Motion:
Commissioner Cook made a motion to approve LSD 15-5098 with conditions
recommended by staff. Commissioner Autry seconded the motion. Upon roll call the
motion passed with a vote of 7-0-0.

ADM 15-5088 Administrative Item (UDC AMENDMENT CHAPTER 172.05 NON-
RESIDENTIAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS): Submitted by CITY PLANNING STAFF for
revisions to the Unified Development Code, Chapters 172.05. The proposal is to remove
minimum parking standards for non-residential uses.
Quin Thompson, Current Planner, gave the staff report.
No public comment was presented.
Tom Brown, Commissioner, distributed a list of comments he wished to be discussed and
said that he suggested that the existing parking ordinance be expanded to provide
developers and option to reduce parking but to pay a fee in-lieu to the City. He said that a
detailed description of the intent of the ordinance should be included, describing the goal of
the fee to transition Fayetteville to a walkable and bike-able City.
Tracy Hoskins, Commissioner, said that had read the ordinance and felt that the Brown
argument was counter to the goal. He said it is important that development move away from
designing parking lots for the 'day after Thanksgiving'. He acknowledged that removing the
parking requirement would likely cause the occasional problem where a developer had
overbuilt, but said that it would not cause as many problems as it would cure. He added that
the developer is best placed to make decisions about project needs.
Matthew Hoffman, Commissioner, said that regulations that require minimum parking
numbers do not promote a livable city.
Thompson said that staff was recommending that the item be tabled to allow discussion.
Hoskins asked staff if the ordinance did not remove Table 4, Parking Occupancy Rates
completely.
Thompson replied that the tabled would remain in the ordinance unchanged, but only in
order to enforce maximum allowed parking numbers.
William Chesser, Vice Chair, said he believes in applying regulation to improve the City,
but in this case removal of regulation would be a benefit. He said that he supported on-street
parking with sidewalks protected by parked cars as one of the very best ways to promote
pedestrian safety and encourage people to walk.
Hoffman said he agreed with Mr. Chesser.
Brown asked if the current fee in-lieu would be affected by the proposal.
Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, said that the fee would not be needed without
parking minimums.
Brown said it will take years to improve the City for pedestrians, that the proposal was not
appropriate for the downtown, and said that it was important to transition over time to a
walking and biking culture, which construction of parking decks would achieve while
protecting residential neighborhoods. He said that the requirement with a fee in-lieu would
be a tool allowing the City to have a conversation with developers.

Agenda Item 1
7-13-2015 Minutes
Page 10 of 12
Kyle Cook, Commissioner, said he understood Mr. Brown's concerns, especially because
of where he lives [Entertainment District]. He said the discussion is about non-residential
parking minimums,which standards already do not apply downtown due to metered parking,
which effectively removes the minimum parking standard.
Brown said that removal of minimum parking standards was appropriate in less urbanized
areas. He said that removing minimums does not preclude removing parking.
Hoskins said that this would not lead to dramatic changes. He said that removing the
parking maximum numbers would create a construction boom. He added that developers
want more parking, not less. He said that this proposal was for a different kind of developer,
and that it would be a mistake to change the proposal into a punitive ordinance.
Brown said that his [fee in-lieu] proposal was not punitive. He said that the City may need
another parking deck in the future, in order to make Fayetteville a more walkable city, and
a fee is a way to fund that.
Hoskins disagreed, saying that the fee in-lieu was a charge in order not to build something
you don't want.
Hoffman said that everyone in the room loves Fayetteville, that what he sees is a disturbing
land use pattern, with most land devoted to parking lots. He said that any ordinance which
encourages this needed to go away immediately. He added that this may push car parking
into streets and out of parking lots, but that it would encourage better land use.
Brown said that everyone present was trying to do the same thing, but the question was
how best to achieve it. He asked if we should do it all at once or slowly. He repeated his
suggestion that the City needs a transitional period, and that the fee in-lieu is needed to
make the City more walkable and bike-able.
Motion #1:
Commissioner Hoskins made a motion to forward ADM 15-5088. Commissioner
Hoffman seconded the motion. No vote was taken.
Motion #2:
Commissioner Brown made a motion to table ADM 15-5088 to the next meeting.
Commissioner Chesser seconded the meeting. Upon roll call the motion passed with
a vote of 7-0-0.

Dear City Staff and Planning Commission, 6115115
1 am writing to request a vacation of the utility easement running along the south border of my property
at 808 N. Highland Ave, Fayetteville,AR. I've attached a legal description and a survey,as well as
the City's Utility Approval Form with my full application.
There is currently an unused 20'utility easement that remains after ordinance 3300 vacated the former
Crest Lane between Highland and Pollard Avenues. That Is the easement I would like vacated.
All of the utility managers and city departments have voiced approval of the vacation, so hopefully you
