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.

Planner: Dara Sanders BACKGROUND: August 22, 2011 Planning Commission Meeting: This rezoning proposal was discussed by the Planning Commission during the regularly scheduled meeting on August 22, 2011, at which three members of the public presented questions and comment. Two owners of properties included in this rezoning proposal requested information in addition to previous correspondence regarding staffs proposal for their properties. The third member of the public was a property owner within the Fayette Junction Master Plan boundary whose property is not included in the rezoning proposal. She expressed concerns with high density housing, access, and flooding. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to table the rezoning proposal to the September 12th meeting in order to extend the opportunity for property owners to comment on staffs proposal. To date, the Planning Division has not received additional inquiry or comment on this item. Fayette Junction Master Plan: 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. Research and Planning Process: Following both the Downtown Master Plan and the Walker Park Master Plan, the City of Fayetteville rezoned all properties within the project boundary to zoning districts that were consistent with the vision and goals of each plan. The Fayette Junction Master Plan area contains a significantly larger area with approximately 636 acres and several hundred individual properties. Most of these properties are small and developed for single- and multi -family structures, are not a risk for redevelopment, and are regulated by zoning districts that are consistent with the current land use; therefore, the first short-term project recommendation is to seek zoning changes for select properties that will contribute to Fayetteville's identity, built environment, and viewshed. Staff has included this recommendation in the 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 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. Proposal: In accordance with the Fayette Junction Master Plan, staff proposes 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. Staff also proposes to rezone Washington County Government properties located adjacent to the Fayette Junction Master Plan Area to the east in this rezoning proposal. These properties are zoned RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 dwelling units per acre and I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial and are developed for a variety of Washington County Government offices and the Washington County Jail. While Washington County Government property and development is not required legally to meet the zoning and development requirements established by the City of Fayetteville, Planning staff finds that the proposed P-1, Institutional, zoning district will more accurately reflect the current use of the subject properties for both zoning map and City land records purposes. In a discussion with County official, they agreed that this would be a recommendation that they would support. Notification and Public Comment: 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. Planning staff received a response from several of the subject 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. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings herein, staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward RZN 11- 3892 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES September 12, 2011 ❑ Tabled x Forwarded ❑ Denied n: Winston d: Chesser 9-0-0 COUNCIL ACTION: Required YES Approved ❑ Denied INFRASTRUCTURE: Cal Streets: Street improvements will be evaluated for each property at the time of development submittal. Water: Public water is available throughout the area. At the time of development, water main locations and size will be evaluated to best serve the properties for fire and domestic water service. Sewer: Public sewer is available throughout the area. At the time of development, sewer main locations and size will be evaluated to best serve the properties. Drainage: Standard improvements and requirements for drainage will be required for any development. This area is affected by the 100-year floodplain and the Streamside Protection Zones. Police: The Fayetteville Police Department does not believe this rezoning will affect calls for service. Fire: The Fayetteville Fire Department has not objected to this proposal. CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates this site as the Fayette Junction Master Plan Area. This area 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. FINDINGS OF THE STAFF 1. A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans. Finding: Planning staff rinds that this rezoning proposal is consistent with the Fayette Junction Master Plan guiding principles, which include integrating the built and natural environments, creating a clean tech cluster, and supporting multi -modal transit. The zoning districts included in this proposal promote all of these principles in both form and use. Integrate the built and natural environments. The Fayette Junction area has a wide variety of topography, landform types, soil classifications, and floodplain. The majority of the proposed zoning districts are designed with a "build -to zone" that requires buildings to be located adjacent to the public street instead of setback a considerable distance from the street. This type of development form often increases the buildable area on a property affected by natural physical features, such as floodplain or steep changes in topography. Staff finds that the proposal would promote context sensitive development along the City's southern gateway and within a vulnerable natural environment. Create a clean tech cluster. The expansion of the Arkansas- Research and Technology Park, the construction of the BioBased Companies headquarters and the development of the Crowne Apartments serve as harbingers for the potential of the Fayette Junction Area. Connecting this area to downtown and ultimately Northwest Arkansas serves as a catalyst for economic development and supports the principles of a sustainable community. There are several properties in the central area of the Fayette Junction neighborhood that are currently regulated by the I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial, zoning district, which would support clean tech operations. Staff finds that rezoning properties in the southwestern area of the Fayette Junction area to the proposed UT, Urban Thoroughfare, zoning district would complement these industrial areas and allow for large office complexes, transportation trades and services, manufacturing, warehousing, and clean technologies, which support the goal of creating a clean tech cluster. Support multi -modal transit. Supporting a multi -modal transit system requires the implementation of transit -oriented development, a mixed use or commercial area that is designed to maximize access to public transportation. First, the appropriate tools must be in place to allow for and encourage mixed use development. The majority of the proposed zoning districts (NS, Neighborhood Services; CS, Community Services; and UT, Urban Thoroughfare) are mixed use zoning districts that would allow for a variety of residential and nonresidential uses to occur on the subject properties. These districts incorporate the components of transit oriented design, which include a walkable environment, increased density, and compact development form. Staff finds that the proposal would provide the tools necessary for the Fayette Junction area to support multi -modal transit in the future. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: Staff finds that the proposed zoning is justified and needed as the first step of implementation for the Fayette Junction Master Plan, as adopted by the Fayetteville City Council, to allow for the continuance of the existing land uses, and to encourage the future redevelopment of specific properties in accordance with the City's planning policies and objectives. Fayette Junction Master Plan implementation. The first short-term project is to "seek zoning changes along the Razorback Road corridor from 1-540 to 15th Street", as development along this corridor forms a first impression of Fayetteville. The development form associated with "urban", form -based zoning districts will contribute to Fayetteville's identity and potentially preserve the hillsides at the entrance of this corridor. The proposed zoning would require that the majority of development occur at Razorback Road, thus contributing to a pedestrian -friendly environment that promotes mixed - use, infill development and the preservation of natural land features. For example, the properties located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Shiloh Drive and 18th Street are zoned C-2 and are affected by the floodway and floodplain at the rear of the property. The form and setback requirements of the C-2 zoning district significantly limit the use and development opportunities for this property. The proposed UT, Urban Thoroughfare, zoning district would allow for a variety of residential types, offices, and commercial businesses that are located adjacent to the street instead of within the floodplain area. Existing land use. Staff has identified several developed properties that are considered nonconforming as a result of the regulations associated with the underlying zoning districts. This proposal would bring those properties into conformance to allow for the continued use of these properties as they are currently developed and, in some cases, allow for more flexibility in the continued and future uses of these properties. For example, there are four single family homes located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Razorback Road and Cato Springs Road that are currently regulated by the C-1, Neighborhood Commercial, zoning district, which does not allow for the primary use of the property for residential purposes. Planning staff proposes to rezone these properties to CS, Community Services, which would allow for the continued use and improvement of these residential structures but would retain the same nonresidential uses by -right. Additionally, staff proposes to include Washington County Government properties located adjacent to the Fayette Junction Master Plan Area to the east in this rezoning proposal. These properties are zoned RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 dwelling units per acre and I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial and are developed for a variety of Washington County Government offices and the Washington County Jail. While Washington County Government property and development is not required legally to meet the zoning and development requirements established by the City of Fayetteville, Planning staff finds that the proposed P-1, Institutional, zoning district will more accurately reflect the current use of the subject properties for both zoning map and City land records purposes. A letter of support from Washington County Judge Marilyn Edwards is included in this staff report. Staff also proposes to include University of Arkansas properties located near the southeast corner of the intersection of Razorback Road and 15th Avenue in this rezoning proposal. These properties are currently zoned I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial, and are developed for an RV Park utilized during University of Arkansas sporting events. Planning staff proposes to rezone the subject property to P-1, Institutional, which would accurately reflect the current land use of the property. Finally, the property located at the southwest corner of Razorback Road and Dowell Drive is developed for the Dowell Cemetery and is currently zoned RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 dwelling units per acre, which allows a cemetery (Use Unit 4, Cultural and Recreational Facilities) by conditional use. This current use of the property could be brought into conformance with the current underlying zoning district through Planning Commission approval of a conditional use permit application; however, future expansion or improvement to the cemetery would likely require additional review by staff and the Planning Commission. Planning staffs proposal to rezone the subject to P-1, Institutional, is consistent with the historic, current, and anticipated long-term future use of the property and would allow for the property owners to continue to maintain and expand the cemetery in accordance with the regulations of the Unified Development Code. Future development and redevelopment. There are 14 undeveloped properties included in this rezoning proposal that are regulated by the RMF- 24, Residential Multi -family, 24 dwelling units per acre, zoning district and the C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, zoning district. Planning staff proposes to rezone the majority of these properties to UT, Urban Thoroughfare, zoning district, which is mixed -use, form -based equivalent to the C-2 district. This proposal would allow for the existing permitted uses under the C-2 district, as well as a variety of residential options, in an urban form that is consistent with the goals of the Fayette Junction Master Plan and City Plan 2030. Staff also proposes to rezone one of these properties from RMF-24 to I-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial. This property is located adjacent to an existing heavy rail infrastructure and is envisioned in the Fayette Junction Illustrative Plan as a clean technology cluster, which would be permitted by - right in the proposed I-1 zoning district. Finally, staff proposes to rezone several properties along Razorback Road from RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 dwelling units per acre, to NS, Neighborhood Services. This proposal would retain the permitted uses of single-, two-, and three-family dwellings and allow for multi -family dwellings as a conditional use permit, but it would also grant the property owners Use Unit 12, Limited Business, as a permitted use for the opportunity to improve these properties for nonresidential uses in the future. Planning staff has reviewed the size and physical limitations of each property proposed to be rezoned from RMF-24 to NS and found that it would be difficult to impossible to develop these properties with multi -family buildings due to the parking and land area per dwelling requirements associated with this use. This has been communicated to those property owners who responded to staffs notification, and these property owners have not objected to the proposal. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: Several of the subject properties are vacant or are developed for single- family residences; therefore, future development or redevelopment of these properties would likely result in an increase in traffic; however, staff does not find that the request would create or increase traffic danger and congestion due to the City's current access and development regulations. Access to and from these properties will be reviewed for compliance with the regulations of Chapter 166.08, Street Design and Access Management, at the time of development request. 4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and sewer facilities. Finding: Staff does not find that the proposal would result in an increase in demand for public services. Comments from the Fayetteville Engineering Division, Police Department, and Fire Department are included on pages two and three of this report. Adverse impacts to public services are not anticipated. 5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as: a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted under its existing zoning classifications; b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the proposed zoning is not desirable. Finding: Not applicable. Date 8/10/11 Jeremy Pate Zoning and Development Director City of Fayetteville 113 W. Mountain Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 Dear Director Pate, This document is in response to the request comments on the proposed RZN 11-3892: (Fayette Junction Master Plan, 559), submitted by The City of Fayetteville Planning Division, for property located within the Fayette Junction Master Plan Area. It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this RZN will not substantially alter the population density, and will not create an appreciable or undesirable increase in the load on police services. This RZN will not create an appreciable increase in traffic danger and congestion. Sincerely, Captain William Brown Fayetteville Police Department RZN 11-3892: Rezone (FAYETTE JUNCTION MASTER PLAN, 599): Submitted by THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING DIVISION for property located WITHIN THE FAYETTE JUNCTION MASTER PLAN AREA. The properties are zoned RMF-24, RESIDENTIAL; C-1, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL; C-2, THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL; and I-1, HEAVY COMMERCIAL/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. The request is to rezone select properties within the Fayette Junction Master Plan area to NS, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES; CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES; UT, URBAN THOROUGHFARE; P-1, INSTITUTIONAL; AND I-1, HEAVY COMMERCIAL/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. Planner: Dara Sanders Public water is available throughout the area. At the time of development, water main locations and size will be evaluated to best serve the properties for fire and domestic water service. Public sewer is available throughout the area. At the time of development, sewer main locations and size will be evaluated to best serve the properties. Street improvements will be evaluated for each property at the time of development submittal. Standard improvements and requirements for drainage will be required for any development. This area is affected by the 100-year floodplain and the Streamside Protection Zones. The ultimate success of any planning document depends upon the willingness and capacity of all stakeholder groups to implement the vision. The implementation of the Fayette Junction Master Plan will only occur through cooperative ef- forts among the City, residents, business owners, the non- profit sector and the private sector. The following steps out- line projects that will help achieve the goals of the Master Plan and are broken down into a series of short-term proj- ects (0-5 years), mid-term projects (6-10 years) and long- term projects. Short-term steps include regulation changes and projects that require little infrastructure or cost. Long- term projects are those that require more significant capital investment. The ultimate timing of implementation will re- flect the overall commitment to the realization of the vision developed by the community. Short-term Projects 1. Seek zoning changes along the Razorback Road corridor from 1-540 to 15th Street. Development along the Razorback Road corridor forms a first impres- sion of Fayetteville. The form of this development will affect property values and contribute to Fayetteville's identify. The Master Plan rec- ommends preserving the hillsides at the entrance and zoning for an urban development form along the rest of the corridor, This zoning will promote continuous frontage of buildings near the street, contributing to a pedestrian -friendly environment that enhances property values and promotes infill development where infrastructure can support urban densities and intensities.

SUBJECT PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION EXAMPLE a e e�i le �f AIKANSASM May 25, 2011 Kayvan Joh Enterprises, Inc 14350 South Mountain Road Lowell, AR 72745 RE: Fayette Junction Rezoning Dear Property Owner, THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS CITY PLANNING DIVISION 125 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 Phone 1479)444-3443 This letter is in reference to your property, parcel number 765-08375-000, located near the intersection of Sligo Street and Razorback Road within the Fayette Junction Master Plan area. 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. 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 has 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. The first short-term goal identified as crucial for the implementation of the Fayette Junction vision is a city -initiated rezoning in key locations to an urban zoning district that would promote continuous frontage of buildings near the street and as -of -right development. The Planning staff will bring forward a rezoning proposal to the Planning Commission this year and plans to include your property in the proposal with a recommendation for the NS, Neighborhood Services zoning district. Included in this letter are the uses and criteria for the current zoning district (RMF-24, Residential Multi -family 24 dwelling units/acre) and the proposed zoning district (NS, Neighborhood Services). Should you have any questions or concerns about this information, please contact the Planning Division at (479) 575-8267 within 30 days of your receipt of this letter to further discuss this matter with the Planning staff. Prior to the rezoning being discussed by the Planning Commission, you will receive another letter from our office notifying you of the meeting details.

Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 Re: Fayette Junction rezoning Dear Ms. Sanders: 280 North College, Suite 500 Fayetteville, AR 72701 The County is in receipt of your June 8, 2011, letter regarding the rezoning of County parcels located on Brink Drive and Clydesdale Drive. Even though, as mentioned in your letter, the County is not subject to the City's zoning and development regulations, the proposed rezoning to category of P-1, Institutional seems to much more accurately reflect our current and future land uses for these properties. As the County feels it is important for the City's maps to accurately reflect the County service uses on these properties, I am in support of the zoning change.

We would accept a rezoning to Urban Thoroughfare as proposed for the adjoining property on the west side of our properties. Ourproperties are currently on the market and have already been seriously devalued by past events. A rezoningof I-1 would be the final death blow and lower the standards for land at the City's south entrance. We ask that the Planners reconsider the currently proposed rezoning.
