Comments: IDIL111I CC�- Revised January 15,2009 Ta7M-1e a THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT CORRESPONDENCE RKANSAS CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO To: Mayor Jordan, City Council Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Jeremy Pate, Development Services Directors From: Dara Sanders,Current Planner Date: September 15, 2011 Subject: RZN 11-3 892 (Fayette Junction Rezoning) RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone select properties to NS, Neighborhood Services; CS, Community Services; UT, Urban Thoroughfare; P-1, Institutional; and I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial. Currently, these properties are zoned RMF-24, Residential Multi-family, 24 dwelling units per acre; C-1, Neighborhood Commercial; C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial; and I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial. Staff has included in this staff report two exhibits that show the current zoning and the proposed zoning for these subject properties. BACKGROUND The City Council adopted City Plan 2025 on July 17, 2006. City Plan 2025 set a goal of using a charrette process to generate a complete neighborhood plans over the next five years for key areas of the City. These plans were intended to incorporate key principles of City Plan 2025, including appropriate infill and revitalization, traditional neighborhood development, growing a livable transportation network, assembling an enduring green network, and attainable housing. On June 3, 2008, the City of Fayetteville began the planning process for the Fayette Junction Master Plan, a complete neighborhood plan that incorporates the key principles, goals, and objects of City Plan 2025. During the week of September 13 - 18, 2008, over 100 citizens offered input on the vision for the Fayette Junction Master Plan area during a charrette process that included a hands-on design session, an open design studio, and a work-in-progress session. Through this collaborative process, Fayette Junction is envisioned as an area that integrates the built and natural environment to support a clean tech cluster, a multi-modal transit hub, and supports the protection of and expansion to the neighborhoods within the Fayette Junction area. Stakeholders repeatedly mentioned the extensive floodplains and significant hillsides that flank the entrance into Fayetteville and the need for effective and innovative stormwater management techniques. The vision document provides implementations steps for the short-term (0-5 years), mid- term (6-10 years) and long-term (10 years +). One of the first short-term goals identified as crucial for the implementation of the Fayette Junction vision is a city-initiated rezoning in key locations to enable development in traditional form and to enhance opportunities for protection of the natural environment, responsible growth, and revitalization within the area. The Illustrative Master Plan is included in this staff report. When beginning the planning process for the rezoning proposal, Planning staff identified all large properties containing more than one acre, in addition to those properties identified in the map associated with the first short- term project recommendation, and reviewed City data and conducted several site visits to identify the existing zoning, land use, and development of each property. Staff found that several of the properties were regulated by zoning districts that are not consistent with the Fayette Junction Master Plan, the current use of the property, and/or the surrounding properties. Based on this information, staff determined the most appropriate zoning district(s) that THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,ARKANSAS would either bring the property into conformance with the underlying regulations or allow for redevelopment in accordance with the Fayette Junction Master Plan and the goals of City Plan 2030. Planning staff sent an initial letter via certified mail to each subject property owner, summarizing the key elements of the Fayette Junction Master Plan and describing staffs rezoning proposal for the specific property. A sample letter is included in this staff report. Additionally, Planning staff notified all subject property owners and property owners adjacent to the subject properties of the proposal and public hearing information, in accordance with the City's notification requirements, and public notice signs were posted at major intersections. Planning staff received a response from several of the subject property owners and adjacent property owners, detailing concerns or questions. Most of these concerns,if not all, were addressed in the final rezoning proposal, as recommended in this staff report. DISCUSSION On September 12, 2011, the Planning Commission forwarded this item to the City Council with a recommendation of approval with a vote of 9-0-0. BUDGETIMPACT None. ORDINANCE NO.
