University Housing Group has requested that I petition the Fayetteville Planning Commission for a 1
year extension of the approval of their PZD for the Champions Club Condominiums. Based on our
records, our project was approved on July 3, 2007. Since that time, numerous changes have taken
place in the local condominium market and the national economy that have prevented this project
from becoming a valuable asset to the community. Poorly performing projects create a stigma in an
area that can hinder sustained growth. We did not want to break ground without a high confidence
that this project would succeed and enhance the vibrant area surrounding Baum Stadium.
This project meets the goals of Fayetteville's growth plans in its site layout and architectural design,
and we feel it will become an asset to this community and its neighborhood once completed. This
extension of one year, if granted, will give University Housing Group the opportunity to realize the
improvements in market conditions that will deliver this project to our community.
If there are questions that I can answer during the consideration of this request, please let me
know. Otherwise, I look forward to the hearing date once you have an opportunity to establish it.
Sincerely,
Crafton Tull Sparks

Submitted by CRAFTON, TULL & ASSOCIATES for property located at SW CORNER OF
RAZORBACK RD. AND 15TH STREET, E OF THE CROWNE APTS. The property is zoned
I-1, HEAVY COMMERCIAL/ LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, and contains approximately 4.42 acres.
The request is for Master Development Plan rezoning, land use, and large scale development
approval for a Residential Planned Zoning District 4 -story condominium building with 143
residential units.
Property Owner: Village Holdings, LLC
Planner: Andrew Garner
Findings:
Property Description: The subject"property contains 4A2 acres located south of 15th Street and
West of Razorback Road. The site is zoned I-1, and is generally flat, undeveloped, disturbed
grassland with the Town Branch Creek along the western border of the site.
Proposal: The applicant requests rezoning, land use, and large scale development approval for a
residential project within a unique R-PZD zoning district on the subject property. All of the land
would be under a common ownership, or property owner's association, and isnot proposed.to:be
subdivided. The proposed zoning would allow for a maximum for 143 dwelling units (32
units/acre). The zoning would also allow a mix of commercial, office, and eating places as a
conditional use.
Background- An R-PZD 06-2107 (Champions Club Condo's) was forwarded by the Planning
Commission to the City Council on October 23, 2006 for almost exactly the same project as
currently proposed. The applicant never brought the item to City Council. Since that time the
applicant has changed the request slightly to eliminate the hotel use, and also to apply for large
scale development approval with the rezoning.
The project booklet and the plats provided give the zoning criteria in detail. Please reference this

Tree Preservation: Existing Canopy: 12.6%
Preserved Canopy: 5.71%
Required Canopy: 12.6%
Mitigation Required: Yes; 30 two-inch caliper trees planted on-site.
Recommendation: Staff recommends forwarding R-PZD 07-2551 to the Planning
Commission with a recommendation for approval with the following
conditions of approval:
Conditions of Approval:
1. City Council determination of a waiver of Section 166.12 of the UDC to allow for a
structure to encroach over a public utility easement. This development proposes for the
building to span over the driveway entrance off of 15th Street. A 20' utility easement is
located in this area of the site, and would be spanned by the structure. This easement is
not proposed to be vacated. A 14.5' clearance is proposed to be provided over the
easement. Staff recommends in favor of a waiver to allow for a structure over a public
utility easement finding that it will not impact provision or maintenance of City water and
sewer service within this easement with a 14.5' clearance as proposed The structure
spanning over thiseasementshall be required to be depicted on an easement plat signed
by all utility companies prior to building permit.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on May 29, 2007.
The Subdivision Committee determined in favor of this condition on May 17, 2007.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on October 23, 2006.
2. Planning Commission determination of street improvements. Staff recommends 75th
Street being improved to 18 "from centerline, : curb, gutter, storm drainage, and the
existing culvert to be extended. In addition, construction of a 10' sidewalk along
Razorback Road for an on -street trail connection and a 6' sidewalk along 15th Street
shall be provided. Streetlights shall be provided in accordance with City code every 300'
and at intersections.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on May 29, 2007.
The Subdivision Committee determined in favor of this condition on May 17, 2007.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on October 23, 2006.

3. Planning Commission determination waiver of Unified Development Code section
177.04(D)(2)(a) to allow for Less than 15' of greenspace adjacent to the right-of-way.
A. The applicant proposes less than 15' of greenspace adjacent to the right-
of-way at the corner of l5th Street and Razorback Road in front of the
project's main entrance. Staff finds in favor of the waiver request for the
15 foot greenspace located at the corner of Razorback Road and 15th
street as this is an important entry way for pedestrian use. Staff
recommends that 4 (2) inch caliper trees be planted either using urban
tree wells with structural soil or an equivalent design of above ground
planters approved by the Urban Forester.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on May 29, 2007
The Subdivision Committee recommended in favor or this waiver request on May
17, 2007.
B. The applicant proposes less than 15' of greenspace adjacent to the right-
of-way for the section of the site just south of the phase 2. In conjunction
with this waiver the applicant requests a waiver for a reduced parking lot
drive aisle width. Staff finds in favor of the second waiver of the 15 foot
greenspace requirement located along Razorback adjacent to the
proposed parking. The applicant has reduced the drive aisle and parking
spaces to give at the minimum a 10 foot greenspace at the most southern
point. There are approximately 5 spaces which encroach into this space.
Razorback Road has- been slated to have a 10 foot wide sidewalk for
pedestrian access. With this requirement, additional right of way has
been requested by staff From the existing right of way line the full 15 feet
of greenspace can be met. It is only after meeting the request of staff for
additional sidewalk and right of way that the greenspace is encroached
upon. Staff recommends adding hanging/climbing vines .on the landscape
plan to help soften the hardscape of the retaining wall along the entire
Razorback Road right of way. The spacing and species of plant would be
reviewed by the Urban Forester at the time of construction documents.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on May 29, 2007.
The Subdivision Committee (May 17, 2007) recommended that the applicant
reduce the waiver request from that presented to the Subdivision Committee. The
applicant has worked with staff to address these concerns. By utilizing compact
parking spaces and reducing the drive aisle width to 22' the amount of
greenspace adjacent to the back of the sidewalk has been increased at its
narrowest point from 6' as presented to the Subdivision Committee, to
approximately 10' as proposed on the current plans.
4. Planning Commission determination of a waiver of Unified Development Code Section

172.04 (C) to reduce the width of a two-way parking lot drive aisle from 24' to 22'. The
applicant proposes to have a 22' wide drive aisle serving the spaces immediately adjacent
to Razorback Road. Staff recommends in favor of this request as the more narrow drive
aisle will be for only a small portion of the site and is not a main drive aisle in the
parking lot. Additionally, this drive aisle will serve compact spaces which are smaller
vehicles that can maneuver more easily in the reduced drive aisle than a standard
vehicle.
The Planning Commission determined in favor of this condition on May 29, 2007.
5. The Master Development Plan, Statement of Commitments and Architectural Standards
submitted by the applicant shall be considered binding and tied to the zoning of the
property. Conditions of approval as noted herein and other requirements placed upon the
project with review of the Master Development Plan — Planned Zoning District by the
City Council shall also be binding.
6. Should a subdivision of land be desired, all applicable ordinances and processes shall be
followed in order to meet city ordinances.
7. Public water and sewer lines shall be extended as required by city ordinance at the time
of development.
8. All development shall meet applicable building codes and other ordinances of the City of
Fayetteville.
9. Future non-residential development as allowed under the conditional uses in the zoning
criteria shall comply with the minimum standards for development in the Unified
Development Code. Where applicable, structures proposed shall be reviewed to ensure
compliance with commercial design standards.
10. Phasing: This project is required to obtain all permits in accordance with the timeframe
for LSDs as outlined in the Unified Development Code.
11. Money in lieu and credit in the amount of $14,311 for constructing a 10' sidewalk for a
trail connection to Towne Branch Trail from 15th Street to Town Creek Trail was
approved by the Parks Advisory Board for this project. The credit will be for the
additional 4' width to a 6' sidewalk at the rate of $40/square yard of concrete. Fees -in -
lieu to meet the parkland dedication ordinance at the time of large scale development
have been assessed incorporating the credited amount and are due in the amount of
$41,888 prior to issuance of building permits.
12. The Large Scale Development site plan shall be revised to label the compact parking
spaces. These spaces shall be either marked on the pavement or by separate marker in
accordance with City code.
13. Additional right-of-way shall be dedicated to include the entire width of the new

sidewalk along Razorback Road and 15th Street.
Landscape and Tree Preservation Conditions:
14. Adjacent to Razorback Road there are 14 consecutive parking spaces without a tree
island. Please add an island with tree to break up these spaces or reduce the number of
spaces to 12.
15. If the trees on the corner of Razorback and 15th are proposed to be in urban tree wells, a
tree well planting detail must be included on the plan specifying the use of structural soil
and the type of tree grate proposed.
16. Street trees required by Chapter 177 can not be counted to meet mitigation for removed
canopy.
17. Review the landscape plan report (attached) and address any other comments that have
been marked with the letter N. All other conditions therein shall be considered
conditions of approval for this project.
18. Mitigation on this site will be required to replace 13,292 square feet of canopy removed.
The applicant has requested and been approved to plant 30 (2) inch caliper large species
trees on the site. A bond/letter of credit/check shall be deposited with the City before
issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy is granted. If all trees can not be planted on
site, money in lieu will be required to be paid into the Tree Escrow Account before a
building permit can be issued.
19. It appears that the mitigation trees are being double counted for those required as street
trees. Chapter 177 Landscape Regulations requires street trees to be planted every 30
feet. These trees are not allowed to also count as mitigation trees. The 18 proposed trees
planted within the Tree Preservation Area are the only ones that currently proposed that
can count toward mitigation. Please locate the other 12 required trees on the site or
submit a request to do a combination of money in lieu and on-site planting.
20. All preserved canopy will be set aside into a Tree Preservation Area on the easement plat.
This removes all developmental right and will ensure complete protection of. these
preserved trees.
Standard Conditions of Approval:
21. All mechanical and utility equipment on the wall and/or on the ground shall be screened.

LSD 08-3007: Large Scale Development (MOUNTAIN RANCH APARTMENTS, 479):
Submitted by JORGENSEN & ASSOCIATES for property located S OF PERSIMMON
STREET AND E OF MOUNTAIN RANCH SUBDIVISION PH. 1. The property is zoned
RMF -24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY - 24 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately
15.37 acres. The request is for an apartment complex with 360 dwelling units proposed, a
project which was previously approved and is under construction.
Planner: JESSE FULCHER
Findings:
Background: The large scale development (LSD 07-2427) and conditional use (CUP 07-2432) for
Mountain Ranch Apartments and associated clubhouse was initially approved by the Planning
Commission on February 26, 2007. The applicant has continuously worked with City divisions to
obtain the necessary permits for construction of the development and at this time has installed the
footings/foundations for each of the 5 buildings and has received approval for the building permits
from all but two City departments. However, the applicant did not obtain approval for the required
building permits prior to the expiration date on February 26, 2008, and missed the filing period for
the allowed extension. Consequently, staff is unable to approve the requested building permits
without approval of the project by the Planning Commission.
Property Description: The subject property contains approximately 15.37 acres and is located
adjacent to the eastern boundary of Mountain Ranch Boulevard, which was constructed as part of
Mountain Ranch Phase I. The property was rezoned to RMF -24, Residential Multi -family, 24 Units
per Acre as part of an overall rezoning of approximately 350 acres in 2005.
Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct 4, four-story multi -family units with 592 parking
spaces to serve 612 bedrooms. Additionally, the applicant has applied for a conditional use permit to
allow for the construction of a pool and clubhouse for the residents of the development. The primary
access to the site is from Mountain Ranch Blvd. with a second point of access from Persimmon St. A
walking trail will be constructed within two large, undisturbed areas along the southeast and
southwest portions of the site.
Public Comment: Public comment has not been received.

Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets: Mountain Ranch Blvd. (Local Street) and Persimmon Street
(Collector Street)
Connectivity: The subject property is bounded on two sides by public streets to which the project
will connect. A stub -out has been provided to the east for future connectivity. A stub -out has not
been provided to the south as the terrain and topography limit connectivity; however, Mountain
Ranch Blvd. is planned to be constructed along the western property line, which will provide a public
street connection for future developments to the south of the subject property.
Street Improvements: 6' sidewalks along the Persimmon Street and Mountain Ranch Boulevard
frontages have been constructed. Additionally, the City cost -shared with the developer for the
construction of Persimmon Street from Rupple Road east to Betty Jo Drive with Phase I of the
Mountain Ranch development. No additional improvements are recommended at this time. Any
damage to existing curbs or sidewalks shall be repaired/replaced at the owner/developers expense
prior to final Certificate of Occupancy permits. Construction of the Mountain Ranch Blvd. extension
along the western/southern boundary of this property will occur with future development. The
developers of this street shall pay for and construct the full street improvements including sidewalks,
street lights, street trees and standard street improvements at the time of development.
Water/Sewer: Water and sewer are available to the site.
Parks: On December 4, 2006 the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended accepting
money in lieu to satisfy Park Land Dedication Ordinance requirements due to the properties
proximity to the Boys and Girls Club, Dale Clark Park and the trail corridor along Shiloh Drive.
Additionally, the developer is providing a club house, pool and green space for the residents of the
development. *Park land dedication ratios and fee -in -lieu formulas have not changed since the
initial project approval in February 2007.
Tree Preservation: Existing Canopy: 25.18%
Preserved Canopy: 11.84%
Required Canopy: 20.00%
Mitigation: Required — No changes since initial project approval.
