CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director 0\
From: Andrew Garner, Senior Planner
Date: May 17, 2012
Subject: RZN 12-4108 (Bank of Wynne Rezone/Woodstock PZD Revocation)
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of an ordinance to revoke the expired Woodstock Planning
Zoning District and rezone the property from R-PZD 07-2576 Woodstock to R-A, Residential Agricultural, the
zoning that was in place prior to the R-PZD.
BACKGROUND
The subject property contains 31.68 acres located on the south side of Wedington Drive (State Highway 16) between
46'h Street and Broyles Avenue. The site is zoned R-PZD 07-2576, and generally flat hay pasture with trees along the
fence rows. The property is generally undeveloped except for two residences, one in the northwest corner and the
other in the southeast corner of the site. On October 2, 2007 the City Council approved the Woodstock Planned
Zoning District on the subject property (R-PZD 07-2576). The property was originally zoned R-A, Residential
Agricultural. The R-PZD zoning permitted a total of 382 dwellings and 100,390 square feet of non-residential square
feet. Construction permits for the project were never obtained and the R-PZD approval has expired. Within the past
year, the Future Land Use Plan designation on this site changed, scaling back the City Neighborhood Area on this
site from the entire Wedington Drive street frontage to the northwest corner of the site.
If an approved PZD expires the property does not automatically revert back to the original zoning. The property is
unable to be developed or subdivided until the old PZD zoning is revoked and a new, valid zoning district is
assigned. In an effort to establish a valid zoning district on the subject property the property owner, the Bank of
Wynne, has requested a rezoning. Their request is to rezone 9.08 acres to CS, Community Services and 22.60 acres
to RSF-4, Residential Single Family Four Units Per Acre. The areas of the site for the proposed rezoning are
depicted on the attached survey provided by the applicant.
Staff recommends denial of applicant's proposal finding that the rezoning request is not consistent with the City Plan
2030 Future Land Use designation of this site. The Future Land Use Plan Designates a majority of this site as
Residential Neighborhood, and confines the City Neighborhood designation in the northwest portion of the site
around the intersection of Broyles and Wedington. The applicant proposes to rezone their entire frontage along
Wedington (about 820 feet of street frontage, 300 feet deep, 9.08 acres) to Community Services. In addition, the
proposal to rezone 22.60 acres of undeveloped pasture to RSF-4 on the edge of the developed area of the City could
encourage a sprawling development pattern in conflict with the primary goals of City Plan 2030: Goal 2: We will
discourage suburban sprawl, and Goal 3: We will make traditional town form the standard. This is discussed in
more detail in the findings throughout the staff report.
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,ARKANSAS
DISCUSSION
Prior to the May 14, 2012 Planning Commission meeting, the City Attorney advised staff and the Planning
Commission that if they did not recommend in favor of the applicant's proposed zoning request that they should
recommend some zoning district. On May 14, 2012 the Planning Commission made a recommendation to forward
the rezoning request to the City Council with a recommendation for the property to revert back to the zoning that
was in place prior to the PZD, which was R-A, Residential Agricultural. The motion passed with a 7-1-0 vote
(Commissioner Hoskins voted `no').

RE: First National Bank of Wynne Wedington Property Rezoning
Dear Commissioners,
This letter is to fulfill the requirements of item 5 on the rezoning application. We are proposing
to rezone the property from RPZD to CS,RO, NC and RSF-4.
a. Current property owner: First National Bank of Wynne.; there are no pending sales.
b. The zoning change is needed in order to bring the property to a more conforming use than what
the residential zoning allows. The zoning change is needed in order to replace the expired RPZD
with a more conforming zoning.
c. With both commercial and residential development expanding to the West along Wedington, this
property should conform with surrounding properties in terms of land use, traffic, appearance,
and signage.
d. A 30" sewer main is located West of the property. An 18" water main is located on the site along
the north, as well as a 12" water main along Broyles Ave., and an 8" main along 46°' Ave.
e. This property conforms with the City's future land use plan for this area.
f The zoning change is needed in order to update the expired RPZD and get the property out of
"Zoning Limbo."
g. The rezoning from RPZD to CS, RO, NC and RSF-4 will increase traffic but with Broyles Ave.
on the West and N. 46`h Ave. in the East, access management will decrease the potential for
danger and congestion.
h. The proposed commercial zoning will reduce the population density should decrease the load on
public services. The proposed residential zoning will conform with all neighboring properties
and should not cause an undesirable increase the load on public services.
i. Since the current RPZD zoning has expired, it is not possible for the new owner to use the
existing property. Due to the location and nature of construction along Wedington, Community
Services and RSF-4 zoning appears to be a more appropriate use for the site.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Bates & Associates, Inc.

RE: Expired PZD's must be rezoned upon owner's request
When a PZD has expired, the property owner loses all development rights on his
property until it is rezoned. Almost all of a property's real worth and value is in its
development rights. This loss of all of a property's development rights would constitute a
government taking of the property requiring our taxpayers to pay the reasonable value of
the property (very large amount of money) except the property owner must first "exhaust
his remedies" by asking for a rezoning.
As long as the rezoning is granted by the City Council, no regulatory taking has
occurred. However, if the property owner's request to rezone the property out of its
"zombie" status (unusable and undevelopable) is just denied and the property is not
rezoned into some developable zoning district, the property owner would probably have a
textbook case of inverse condemnation or regulatory taking. This must not be allowed to
occur.
Because the new owner of the property zoned for the now defunct Woodstock PZD
has requested rezoning, the Planning Commission should recommend what you believe is
appropriate zoning. If you get stuck on how it should be zoned now, please just
recommend that the City Council rezone it back to the zoning it had prior to the approval of
the PZD. The City Council MUST rezone this property either to its prior zoning
district or to the zoning district or districts that would conform to state law purposes
and the 2030 Long Range Plan. Just denying the property owner's requested rezoning is
a recipe for disaster and must not happen.
When the Planning Commission is considering whether or not to recommend
approval of a rezoning request, the City Planning Division presents useful information
from various city departments that cover issues included with the City's 2030 Long Range
Plan. This document was the result of many public hearings and much input from citizens,
staff, commissioners and council members. However, "A land use plan is meant to be just
that — a plan. It is not legally binding on the city." Taylor v. City of Little Rock, 583
S.W. 2d 72, 73 (1979).
State Statutes authorize cities to prepare zoning and development plans
and list nine purposes or goals that these plans may promote:
"1. Efficiency and economy in the process of development;
2. The appropriate and best use of land;
3. Convenience of traffic and circulation of people and
goods;
4. Safety from fire and other dangers;
5. Adequate light and air in the use and occupancy of
buildings;
6. Healthful and convenient distribution of population;
7. Good civic design and arrangement;
8. Adequate public utilities and facilities; and
9. Wise and efficient expenditure of funds."
A.C.A. § 14-56-403 (b).
The appellate courts of Arkansas have recognized and approved many different
factors that a Planning Commission can consider when a proposed rezoning is contested.
Public Opposition
"Opposition by a large majority of the citizens in the neighborhood"
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
"The Opinion of local residents, when it reflects logical
and reasonable concerns ...."
City of Lowellv. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
"Some of the residents (of the area) objected ....
Tanner v. City of Green Forest (1990).
2. Traffic
"Increased traffic on limited roads"
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
"Increased risk of traffic accidents"
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
04
Noise
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
Decreased value of adjoining land
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
Potential for criminal activity
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
Increased litter
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
Strain on Sewage service
Tanner v. City of Green Forest (1990).
8. Spot zoning
"The need to maintain consistent zoning area, and not to set
a precedent of spot zoning .... (T)he property was entirely
surrounded by a residential area, and that the residents
objected .... " Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena, 310 Ark.
682, 839 S.W. 2d 523, 525 (1992).
"Spot zoning has been defined by several authorities. It
has been said that:
` Spot zoning, by definition, is invalid because
it amounts to an arbitrary, capricious and
unreasonable treatment of a limited area
within a particular district. As such, it
departs from the comprehensive treatment
or privileges not in harmony with the other
use classifications in the area and without
any apparent circumstances which call for
different treatment. Spot zoning almost
invariably involves a single parcel or at least
a limited area.' R. Wright and S. Webber,
Land Use (1978)." Riddell v. City of Brinkley,
612 S.W. 2d 116, 117 (1981).
"(S)pot zoning includes zoning one lot in a manner entirely
different from the surrounding area .... " Smith v. City of Little Rock,
279 Ark. 4, 648 S.W. 2d 454, 457 (1983).
However, the most recent case I could find referring to "spot zoning" {Camden
Community Development Corp. v. Sutton, 339 Ark. 368, 5 S.W. 3`d 439, 443 (1999)} cast
doubt on Professor Wright's quoted statement that "Spot zoning, by definition, is
invalid ...."
Finally, a proponent of a rezoning will often argue that he or she is entitled to a
rezoning in order to put the property to its "highest and best use" from a monetary
viewpoint. The benefit to the owner of a proposed rezoning may certainly be considered,
"(h)owever, we have held that rezoning is not justified solely on the ground that it is
necessary to put a particular tract to its most remunerative use." Tanner v. City of
Green Forest, 302 Ark. 170, 788 S.W. 2d 727, 729 (1990). (emphasis added).
CONCLUSION/SUMMARY
Factors that may be considered in rezoning issues:
1. 2030 Plan objectives
2. Public opposition that is logical and reasonable
3. Traffic
4. Safety and Fire protection
5. Good civic design and efficiency
6. Adequacy of public facilities (sewage, water)
7. Noise
8. Litter
9. Decrease in value of adjoining land
10. Appropriate and best use of land
11. Compatibility with adjacent zones (spot zoning)

RZN 12-4108: Rezone (4847 W. WEDINGTON DR./BANK OF WYNNE, 438): Submitted by
BATES AND ASSOCIATES for property located at 4847 WEST WEDINGTON DRIVE. The
property is zoned R-PZD, RESIDENTIAL PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT (R-PZD 07-2576
WOODSTOCK) and RSF-4 and contains approximately 31.68 acres. The request is to rezone the
property to CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES and RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4
UNITS PER ACRE.
BACKGROUND:
Planner: Andrew Garner
The subject property consists of approximately 31.68 acres located on the south side of Wedington
Drive (State Highway 16) between 46`h Street and Broyles Avenue. The site is zoned R-PZD 07-
2576 (Woodstock) and RSF-4, and is generally flat hay pasture with trees along the fence rows. The
property is generally undeveloped except for two residences, one in the northwest corner and the
other in the southeast corner of the site. The surrounding zoning and land use are listed in Table 1.

History: On October 2, 2007 the City Council approved the Woodstock Planned Zoning District on
the subject property (R-PZD 07-2551). The property was originally zoned R -A, Residential
Agricultural. The R-PZD zoning permitted a total of 382 dwellings and 100,390 square feet of non-
residential square feet. Construction permits for the project were never obtained and the R-PZD
approval has expired. Within the past year, the Future Land Use Plan designation on this site
changed, scaling back the City Neighborhood Area on this site from the entire Wedington Drive
street frontage to the northwest comer of the site.
PZD Revocation: If an approved PZD expires the property does not automatically revert back to the

original zoning. The property is unable to be developed or subdivided until the old PZD zoning is
revoked and a new, valid zoning district is assigned.
Proposal: The property owner, the First National Bank of Wynne, proposes to rezone 9.08 acres
from R-PZD 07-2576 Woodstock to CS, Community Services and 22.60 acres from R-PZD 07-2576
Woodstock to RSF-4, Residential Single Family Four Units Per Acre. The areas of the site for the
proposed rezoning are depicted on the attached survey provided by the applicant.
Public Comment: Staff has not received public comment on this request.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of RZN 12-4108 (Woodstock) finding that the proposed rezoning request
is not consistent with the City Plan 2030 Future Land Use designation of this site. The Future Land
Use Plan Designates a majority of this site as Residential Neighborhood, and confines the City
Neighborhood designation in the northwest portion of the site around the intersection of Broyles and
Wedington. The applicant proposes to rezone their entire frontage along Wedington (about 820 feet
of street frontage, 300 feet deep, 9.08 acres) to Community Services. In addition, the proposal to
rezone 22.60 acres of undeveloped pasture on the edge of the developed area of the City could
encourage a sprawling development pattern in conflict with the primary goals of City Plan 2030:
Goal 2: We will discourage suburban sprawl, and Goal 3: We will make traditional town form the
standard. This is discussed in more detail in the findings throughout the staff report.

City Neighborhood Areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and
provide a varying mix of nonresidential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest
spectrum ofuses and encourages density in all housing types, from single family to multifamily. Non
residential uses range in size, variety and intensity from grocery stores and offices to churches, and
are typically located at corners and along connecting corridors... Setbacks and landscaping are
urban inform with street trees typically being located within the sidewalk zone.
Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a variety of
housing types of appropriate scale and context, including single family multifamily and row -
houses... It also encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity
non-residential uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood, such as retail and offices, on
corners and along connecting corridors.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The site has access to Wedington Drive, Broyles Avenue, and 46th Street. Wedington
Drive has been recently improved to a five -lane state highway with a 10 -foot wide
asphalt trail adjacent to this site. Broyles Avenue is an improved two-lane Minor
Arterial roadway with a turn lane at Wedington, and 46th Street is an unimproved
Collector street adjacent to the eastern boundary of the property. Street
improvements would be evaluated at the time of development.
Water: Public water is available to the property. There is an 18 -inch water main on the south
side of Wedington, a 12 -inch water main on the east side of Broyles and an 8 -inch
water main on the west side of 46th Street. Public water main improvements may
need to be extended through the property to provide domestic and fire flow for any
proposed development.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available adjacent to the site. There is a 6 -inch main on the east
side of 46th Street. Public sewer main improvements may need to be extended
through the property at the time of development. The capacity of the existing main
will need to be evaluated to ensure adequate capacity.
Drainage: Standard improvements and requirements for drainage will be required for the
development. This property is not affected by the 100 -year floodplain and the
Streamside Protection Zones.
Police: Staff did not receive objections from the Police Department to this rezoning.
Fire: The subject property is located 1 mile from the Station No. 7 located at 835 Rupple
Road with an expected response time of 2.25 minutes. No adverse impacts on call
volume or response time are anticipated.

FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
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: Staff finds the proposal not consistent with the land use planning objectives,
principles and policies. About half of this site's street frontage is designated as
Residential Neighborhood Area and is proposed to be rezoned to CS,
Community Services. The City's Future Land Use Plan intends more intense
and dense uses along this stretch of Wedington to be concentrated around the
node of the Broyles Avenue/Wedington Drive intersection, not along the entire
800 -foot street frontage of this site. The applicant's proposal is not consistent
with the Future Land Use Plan designation. This proposal extends the potential
for non-residential, commercial, and multi -family uses along the entire property
frontage at a depth of approximately 300 feet deep. This shape of the boundary
appears to encourage a highway commercial strip center pattern which is not
consistent with the City's land use planning objectives. With the recent adoption
of City Plan 2030 less than a year ago, there was discussion and a modification
to the Future Land Use Plan map to reduce the area of this particular site that
was classified as City Neighborhood area. The boundary of City Neighborhood
area on City Plan extends down Broyles Avenue approximately 700 feet to
encourage the more intense and dense uses to allow for the potential of a square -
back street and a more traditional neighborhood commercial pattern instead of
a commercial strip center pattern. The proposed rezoning would allow
commercial and multi -family dwellings along the entire Wedington frontage
rather than limit these more intense uses in a compact pattern at the busier
corner location. This is not consistent with the Guiding Policies for City
Neighborhood Areas. The intent is not to have one continuous strip of
commercial development along arterials/highways, but rather to have defined
nodes primarily at corner locations, and transition in the land use transect along
the corridor consistent with City Plan Goal 3 to "... make traditional town form
the standard." Additionally, the proposal to rezone 22.60 acres of undeveloped
pasture on the edge of the developed area of the City to RSF-4 could encourage
a sprawling development pattern in conflict with some of the primary goals of
City Plan 2030:
Goal 2: We will discourage suburban sprawl
Goal 3: We will make traditional town form the standard
The RSF-4 development pattern is a suburban zoning district (not traditional)
that generally yields a gross density of approximately 2.5 units per acre. This is
not consistent with the intent of Residential Neighborhood Areas to have a
variety of housing types. Further, the RSF-4 adjacent to CS is a rather abrupt

transition of land uses that may result in some compatibility issues as the
property develops in the future. Staff feels that this rezoning proposal is not
consistent with the overriding land use plan of the City or the Future Land Use
Plan and recommends denial of the request.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: The proposed zoning is needed at this time as the existing R-PZD zoning has
expired and the property is unable to be developed in any manner, including
minor applications such as a lot split or single family residence, until the expired
PZD zoning is revoked and a new zoning district is assigned.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed rezone would not appreciably increase traffic over the existing R-
PZD zoning that permitted up to 382 residences and 100,390 square feet of non-
commercial space. However the R-PZD has fully expired and cannot be
developed. The proposed zoning would certainly increase traffic over that
existing on the largely undeveloped property. However, given this site's location
at the intersection of a Principal Arterial roadway (Wedington) and a Minor
Arterial (Broyles Avenue) at the site's northwest corner; the street
infrastructure can safely accommodate increased traffic with street
improvements required at the time of development. It should be noted that a
traffic signal is anticipated at the intersection of Broyles/Wedington, and a
condition of approval for the Woodstock R-PZD was payment of an assessment
towards the installation of that signal. 46th Avenue is located along the site's
eastern frontage is a Collector Street.
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: Increased load on public services were taken into consideration and
recommendations from the Engineering, Fire, and Police Departments and are
included in this report. The proposed zoning change to Community Services and
RSF-4 should not have an adverse impact on public services with improvements
required for development.
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. Staff recommends denial of the request.

(L) Revocation.
(1) Causes for revocation as enforcement action. The Planning Commission may recommend to the City Council
that any PZD approval be revoked and all building or occupancy permits be voided under the following
circumstances:
(a) Building permit. If no building permit has been issued within the time allowed.
(b) Phased development schedule. If the applicant does not adhere to the phased master development plan
schedule as stated in the approved development plan.
(c) Open space and recreational facilities. If the construction and provision of all common open spaces
and public and recreational facilities which are shown on the final plan are proceeding at a substantially
slower rate than other project components.
Planning staff may report the status of each ongoing PZD at the first regular meeting of each quarter, so
that the Planning Commission is able to compare the actual development accomplished with the approved
development schedule. If the Planning Commission finds that the rate of construction of dwelling units or
other commercial or industrial structures is substantially greater than the rate at which common open spaces
and public recreational facilities have been constructed and provided, then the Planning Commission may
initiate revocation action or cease to approve any additional final plans if preceding phases have not been
finalized. The city may also issue a stop work order, or discontinue issuance of building or occupancy
permits, or revoke those previously issued.
(2) Procedures. Prior to a recommendation of revocation, notice by certified mail shall be sent to the landowner or
authorized agent giving notice of the alleged default, setting a time to appear before the Planning Commission
to show cause why steps should not be made to totally or partially revoke the PZD. The Planning Commission
recommendation shall be forwarded to the City Council for disposition as in original approvals. In the event a
PZD is revoked, the City Council shall take the appropriate action in the city clerk's office and the public
zoning record duly noted.
(3) Effect. In the event of revocation, any completed portions of the development or those portions for which
building permits have been issued shall be treated to be a whole and effective development. After causes for
revocation or enforcement have been corrected, the City Council shall expunge such record as established above
and shall authorize continued issuance of building permits.

RE: First National Bank of Wynne Wedington Property Rezoning
Dear Commissioners,
This letter is to fulfill the requirements of item 5 on the rezoning application. We are proposing
to rezone the property from RPZD to CS and RSF-4.
a. Current property owner: First National Bank of Wynne.; there are no pending sales.
b. The zoning change is needed in order to bring the property that fronts Wedington Drive to a more
conforming use than what the residential zoning allows. The zoning change is needed on the
back portion in order to replace the expired RPZD with a more conforming RSF-4 zoning.
c. With both commercial and residential development expanding to the West along Wedington, this
property should conform with surrounding properties in terms of land use, traffic, appearance,
and signage.
d. A 30" sewer main is located West of the property. An 18" water main is located on the site along
the north, as well as a 12" water main along Broyles Ave., and an 8" main along 46'h Ave.
e. This property conforms with the City's future land use plan for this area.
f. The zoning change is needed in order to update the expired RPZD and get the property out of
"Zoning Limbo."
g. The rezoning from RPZD to CS and RSF-4 will increase traffic but with Broyles Ave. on the
West and N. 46'" Ave. in the East, access management will decrease the potential for danger and
congestion.
h. The proposed commercial zoning will reduce the population density should decrease the load on
public services. The proposed residential zoning will conform with all neighboring properties
and should not cause an undesirable increase the load on public services.
i. Since the current RPZD zoning has expired, it is not possible for the new owner to use the
existing property. Due to the location and nature of construction along Wedington, Community
Services and RSF-4 zoning appears to be a more appropriate use for the site.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Bates & Associates, Inc.

RE: Woodstock Rezoning and Cleveland Street Project PZD
Zoning and Planned Zoning District considerations
I have been providing Aldermen the legal factors they can consider when
determining whether or not to approve a PZD or zoning request for over a decade.
When the City Council first began considering whether or not to approve a PZD, I
provided the attached memo on May 22, 2003. It is still correct today. Please
especially read the section entitled "Voting" to ensure that I can effectively defend
any decision the City Council will make.
When the land now zoned PZD (Woodstock) was presented to the Planning
Commission, I gave them the attached memo of May 11, 2012, stating that the
property owner had the legal right to have his property zoned away from the
defunct PZD into a developable zone. The City Council needs to rezone this
property to the best possible zoning district or districts after considering all of the
relevant factors.
You can weigh many factors to determine what is the best zoning district or
districts for this property. You should certainly consider the 2030 Plan, but it is
only one of many factors to consider when determining the proper zoning. It is
also proper to consider the desires of the property owner, the appropriate and best
use of the property, traffic issues, good civil design and arrangement and the other
factors detailed in my May 1 1th memo. All of these factors are proper
considerations both for the Cleveland Street Apartment Project PZD and the
defunct Woodstock PZD property whose new owner requests rezoning into various
zoning districts: Community Services, Neighborhood Services, Neighborhood
Conservation, Resident Single Family, 4 units per acre and Residential Multi -
Family, 24 units per acre.
CONCLUSION
If any Alderman desires to vote against a proposed rezoning or PZD
approval, please explain your opposition based upon one or more of the factors
approved by the Supreme Court:
1. 2030 Plan objectives
2. Public opposition that is logical and reasonable
3. Traffic
4. Safety and Fire protection
5. Good civic design and efficiency
6. Adequacy of public facilities (sewage, water)
7. Noise
8. Litter
9. Decrease in value of adjoining land
10. Appropriate and best use of land
11. Compatibility with adjacent zones (spot zoning)

DATE: May 11, 2012
RE: Expired PZD's must be rezoned upon owner's request
When a PZD has expired, the property owner loses all development rights on his
property until it is rezoned. Almost all of a property's real worth and value is in its
development rights. This loss of all of a property's development rights would constitute a
government taking of the property requiring our taxpayers to pay the reasonable value of
the property (very large amount of money) except the property owner must first "exhaust
his remedies" by asking for a rezoning.
As long as the rezoning is granted by the City Council, no regulatory taking has
occurred. However, if the property owner's request to rezone the property out of its
"zombie" status (unusable and undevelopable) is just denied and the property is not
rezoned into some developable zoning district, the property owner would probably have a
textbook case of inverse condemnation or regulatory taking. This must not be allowed to
occur.
Because the new owner of the property zoned for the now defunct Woodstock PZD
has requested rezoning, the Planning Commission should recommend what you believe is
appropriate zoning. If you get stuck on how it should be zoned now, please just
recommend that the City Council rezone it back to the zoning it had prior to the approval of
the PZD. The City Council MUST rezone this property either to its prior zoning
district or to the zoning district or districts that would conform to state law purposes
and the 2030 Long Range Plan. Just denying the property owner's requested rezoning is
a recipe for disaster and must not happen.
When the Planning Commission is considering whether or not to recommend
approval of a rezoning request, the City Planning Division presents useful information
from various city departments that cover issues included with the City's 2030 Long Range
Plan. This document was the result of many public hearings and much input from citizens,
staff, commissioners and council members. However, "A land use plan is meant to be just
that — a plan. It is not legally binding on the city." Taylor v. City of Little Rock, 583
S.W. 2d 72, 73 (1979).
State Statutes authorize cities to prepare zoning and development plans
and list nine purposes or goals that these plans may promote:
"1. Efficiency and economy in the process of development;
2. The appropriate and best use of land;
3. Convenience of traffic and circulation of people and
goods;
4. Safety from fire and other dangers;
5. Adequate light and air in the use and occupancy of
buildings;
6. Healthful and convenient distribution of population;
7. Good civic design and arrangement;
8. Adequate public utilities and facilities; and
9. Wise and efficient expenditure of funds."
A.C.A. §14-56-403 (b).
The appellate courts of Arkansas have recognized and approved many different
factors that a Planning Commission can consider when a proposed rezoning is contested.
Public Opposition
"Opposition by a large majority of the citizens in the neighborhood"
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
"The Opinion of local residents, when it reflects logical
and reasonable concerns ...."
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
"Some of the residents (of the area) objected ....
Tanner v. City of Green Forest (1990).
2. Traffic
"Increased traffic on limited roads"
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
"Increased risk of traffic accidents"
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
PA
Noise
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
4. Decreased value of adjoining land
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
Potential for criminal activity
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
Increased litter
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
Strain on Sewage service
Tanner v. City of Green Forest (1990).
8. Spot zoning
"The need to maintain consistent zoning area, and not to set
a precedent of spot zoning .... (T)he property was entirely
surrounded by a residential area, and that the residents
objected .... " Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena, 310 Ark.
682, 839 S.W. 2d 523, 525 (1992).
"Spot zoning has been defined by several authorities. It
has been said that:
` Spot zoning, by definition, is invalid because
it amounts to an arbitrary, capricious and
unreasonable treatment of a limited area
within a particular district. As such, it
departs from the comprehensive treatment
or privileges not in harmony with the other
use classifications in the area and without
any apparent circumstances which call for
different treatment. Spot zoning almost
invariably involves a single parcel or at least
a limited area.' R. Wright and S. Webber,
Land Use (1978)." Riddell v. City of Brinkley,
612 S.W. 2d 116, 117 (1981).
"(S)pot zoning includes zoning one lot in a manner entirely
different from the surrounding area .... " Smith v. City of Little Rock,
279 Ark. 4, 648 S.W. 2d 454, 457 (1983).
However, the most recent case I could find referring to "spot zoning" (Camden
Community Development Corp. v. Sutton, 339 Ark. 368, 5 S.W. 3`d 439, 443 (1999)} cast
doubt on Professor Wright's quoted statement that "Spot zoning, by definition, is
invalid ...."
Finally, a proponent of a rezoning will often argue that he or she is entitled to a
rezoning in order to put the property to its "highest and best use" from a monetary
viewpoint. The benefit to the owner of a proposed rezoning may certainly be considered,
"(h)owever, we have held that rezoning is not justified solely on the ground that it is
necessary to put a particular tract to its most remunerative use." Tanner v. City of
Green Forest, 302 Ark. 170, 788 S.W. 2d 727, 729 (1990). (emphasis added).
CONCLUSION/SUMMARY
Factors that may be considered in rezoning issues:
1. 2030 Plan objectives
2. Public opposition that is logical and reasonable
3. Traffic
4. Safety and Fire protection
5. Good civic design and efficiency
6. Adequacy of public facilities (sewage, water)
7. Noise
8. Litter
9. Decrease in value of adjoining land
10. Appropriate and best use of land
11. Compatibility with adjacent zones (spot zoning)

LEGAL DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Dan Coody, Mayor
City Council
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: May 22, 2003
RE: City Council Considerations for Planned Zoning Districts (PZD's)
Since you are now considering a PZD for Lowe's and will
consider the St. Joseph property for a Planned Zoning District at your
next meeting, I thought you might like a short summary of issues that
are appropriate for your consideration of these requests.
A Planned Zoning District includes approval of both a zoning
change and a large-scale development. Thus, all zoning
considerations as well as considerations relevant to LSD approval are
relevant. You legally have much more discretion for the zoning part of
the PZD decision. Therefore, my recommendation is that if you do not
believe a Planned Zoning District should be passed, you should refer
primarily to problems with changing the zoning rather than problems
in the Large Scale Development when explaining why you are voting
against any Planned Zoning District.
ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
1. 20/20 Plan objectives
2. Public opposition that is logical and reasonable
3. Traffic
4. Safety and Fire protection
5. Good civic design and efficiency
6. Adequacy of public facilities (sewage, water)
7. Noise
8. Litter
9. Decrease in value of adjoining land
10. Appropriate and best use of land
11. Compatibility with adjacent zones(spot zoning)
"Spot Zoning" has been recognized by state courts as a
violation of a city's comprehensive zoning plan.
"The need to maintain consistent zoning area,
and not to set a precedent of spot zoning.
(T)he property was entirely surrounded by a
residential area, and that the residents objected
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena, 310
Ark. 682, 839 S.W. 2d 523,525 (1992).
"Spot zoning" has been defined by several authorities. It
has been said that:
"Spot Spot zoning', by definition, is invalid because
it amounts to an arbitrary, capricious and
unreasonable treatment of alimited area
within a particular district. As such, it
departs from the comprehensive treatment
or privileges not in harmony with the other
use classifications in the area and without
any apparent circumstances which call for
different treatment. Spot zoning almost
invariably involves a single parcel or at least
a limited area." R. Wright and S. Webber,
Land Use (1978)." Riddell v. City of Brinkley,
612 S.W. 2d 116,117 (1981).
"(S)pot zoning includes zoning one lot in a manner
entirely different from the surrounding area .... "
Smith v. City of Little Rock, 279 Ark. 4, 648 S.W. 2d
454,457 (1983).
"Highest and best use."
A proponent of a rezoning will often argue that he or she is
entitled to a rezoning in order to put the property to its "highest and
best use" from a monetary viewpoint. The benefit to the owner of a
proposed rezoning may certainly be considered, "(h)owever, we have
held that rezoning is not justified solely on the ground that it is
necessary to put a particular tract to its most remunerative use."
Tanner v. City of Green Forest, 302 Ark. 170, 788 S.W. 2d 727, 729
(1990). (emphasis added).
LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
In the second part of your decision, you have less discretion. As
long as the developer has complied with our development ordinances
(you should rely upon our city staff for this analysis), the remaining
issue would be whether this proposed development would compound
a dangerous traffic condition. That does not mean only whether more
traffic will result from a development (which would almost always be
the case), but whether the existing and proposed transportation
infrastructure serving the new development can handle the anticipated
increased flow without causing or compounding a dangerous traffic
condition.
"For the purpose of this section, a 'dangerous' traffic
condition shall be construed to mean a traffic condition
in which the risk of accidents involving motor vehicles
is significant due to factors such as, but not limited to,
high traffic volume, topography, or the nature of the
traffic pattern." §166.05 7. d. (4) Unified Development
Code.
In that context, if you determine that parking from the proposed
development would regularly and significantly overflow onto nearby,
narrow streets, you might conclude that this creates or compounds a
dangerous traffic condition.
Traffic is also a factor to be considered in the rezoning segment of
your decision (where you have greater discretion). At least two recent
Arkansas Supreme Court cases relied on traffic issues to sustain a
rejection of'rezoning.
"Increased traffic on limited roads"
City of Lowell v. M & N Mobile Home Park (1996).
"Increased risk of traffic accidents"
Thomas Petroleum v. West Helena (1992).
VOTING
When you state your reasons to vote for or against these PZDs
and any other potentially controversial rezonings or PZDs, please refer
to some of the eleven factors recognized by our Supreme court to be
relevant to zoning considerations.
Do not refer to things you have no control over such as the
current zoning of the property when explaining any vote against the
PZD.
Keep in mind that most developmental issues such as compliance
with the Commercial Design Standards, Tree Ordinance, Parking Lot
Landscaping Ordinance, Sign Ordinance, drainage and grading
regulations, etc. have already been carefully considered and approved
by our Planning and Engineering Departments and Planning
Commission. Your job under the PZD Ordinance is not to go back to
square one to re-examine everything as a second Planning
Commission.
However, I believe you have the power to agree to changes in the
Large Scale Development or Preliminary Plat contrary to the precise
approval of the Planning Commission. You have these rights now on
appeal from Planning Commission decisions on LSDs and Preliminary
Plats. I believe the City Council may judiciously approve changes (if
consistent with our ordinances). Most changes should also be
acceptable to the developer/proponent. Changes unacceptable to the
developer equate with a rejection of the project and should be
supported by reasons sufficient to reject the whole PZD (without the
changes).
Please feel free to call upon me at the meeting prior to moving to
accept or reject the PZD request to clarify any factors or issues
presented in this memo.
