161.24 Main StreeVCenter
(A) Purpose. A greater range of uses is
expected and encouraged in the Main
Street/Center. The Center is more spatially
compact and is more likely to have some
attached buildings than Downtown General
or Neighborhood Conservation. Multi -story
buildings in the Center are well -suited to
accommodate a mix of uses, such as
apartments or offices above shops. Lofts,
live/work units, and buildings designed for
changing uses over time are appropriate for
the Main StreeUCenter. The Center is within
walking distance of the surrounding,
primarily residential areas. For the purposes
of Chapter 96: Noise Control, the Main

(A) Purpose. Downtown General is a flexible
zone, and it is not limited to the concentrated
mix of uses found in the Downtown Core or
Main Street / Center. Downtown General
includes properties in the neighborhood that
are not categorized as identifiable centers,
yet are more intense in use than
Neighborhood Conservation. There is a
Page 12 of 14
ADM 13-4353 Exhibit "A"
mixture of single-family homes, rowhouses,
apartments, and live/work units. Activities
include a flexible and dynamic range of uses,
from public open spaces to less intense
residential development and businesses. For

requirement shall be met by locating the
principal facade of the primary structure
in the build -to zone.
(3) If the minimum buildable street frontage
requirement cannot be met by locating
the principal facade of the primary
structure in the build -to zone,
supplemental elements shall be required
and shall not exceed 10% of the

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor Jordan, City Council
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
From: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
Date: April 24, 2013
Subject: ADM 13-4353: UDC Amendment: Form -based codes
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of an ordinance to amend Chapters 151, 161, 164, and 172
of the Fayetteville Unified Developement Code to clarify and add flexibility to some of the form -based code
development requirements and to provide more consistency across the zoning districts.
BACKGROUND
Various planning staff members have been working since August 2011 on amendments to the Unified Development
Code to address the use and function of the form -based zoning districts and to clarify and add flexibility to some of
these requirements. Now that we have seen several development projects utilize these standards, staff is able to better
evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. When these form -based codes were adopted, staff committed to the
Planning Commission and City Council that we would evaluate and bring back any issues for further consideration
as needed. We have seen several of the standards clearly meet the intent and goals of the ordinance, and provide
better, more meaningful public and private spaces as a result. However, some have not been as successful as
intended. It is our intent to make this process clear and easy to implement so that the incentives of an administrative
review process, albeit with higher design standards, remain attractive to property owners looking to rezone their
property.
The following is a generalized list of the changes proposed
Chapter 151: Definitions
• Amend the definition of "build to zone" and "minimum buildable street frontage"
Chapter 161: Zoning Districts
• Amend all of the multi -family zoning districts to restrict building height to 30' for structures built close (0' to
10') to the street. Buildings may have larger building heights once a 10' setback has been achieved, depending
on the zoning district and stepback. This is to address numerous concerns with building height in close proximity
to streets and sidewalks and to provide a "stepback" transition.
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
• Amend all of the multi -family zoning districts to have a build -to zone beginning at the right-of-way line.
Currently these zoning districts have build -to zones that start at 10' from the right-of-way.
• Reduce the maximum building height in the RMF-6 and RMF-12 zoning districts from 60' to 45'. These are
lower density multifamily zones often in close proximity to single family neighborhoods and staff feels this is a
more appropriate building height.
• Amend setback requirements in multiple zoning districts to be consistent with conflicting standards such as the
Urban Residential Design Standards and Landscape Requirements.
• Amend any district's reference to the number of building stories allowed as a maximum building height. We
often have questions about why there is a building height AND a story height, and there's not a very good
answer. These sections now refer to an ultimate height limitation measured in vertical feet and do not reference
any number of stories.
• Amend the C-1 Zoning District to add a building height maximum, at 56 feet (there is not one currently).
• Amend the Neighborhood Conservation Zoning District to move "Two family dwellings" from a Permitted Use
to a Conditional Use. Many of the Neighborhood Conservation Zoning District areas that have been submitted
and approved have had Bills of Assurance attached to restrict the new development from becoming strictly
duplex development. While still a very desirable urban single family zoning district, staff feels it could be used
even more effectively and with adequate protections for adjoining neighborhoods by removing the provision
allowing two-family dwellings permitted by right.
Chapter 164: Supplementary District Regulations
Exempt accessory structures from meeting build -to zone requirements (storage sheds, detached garages, barns,
etc).
Add a new section (164.06) that addresses the requirements of the "Minimum Buildable Street Frontage"
requirement of the form based zoning districts. This section specifically addresses how the calculation is
determined for lots with one street frontage, through lots and corner lots. Additionally, any supplementary
elements (such as walls, hedges, patios, decks, etc) that may count towards the Minimum Buildable Street
Frontage requirement of the zoning district are included. This was added to provide relief for developers that can
not meet the entire minimum percent required by the underlying zone, while retaining the urban form of the
development.
Create separate standards for auto -oriented facilities, and specifically for drive-in/thru facilities and fueling
stations/convenience stores. Include design standards for fueling station canopies, if they are to be placed within
a build -to zone, but also a setback, so that these large canopies are not directly adjacent to the street or sidewalk.
Add an "exception" section for single family uses, existing site constraints, and interstate highway frontage and
for developments that only use a portion of their lot at the time of development.
Chapter 172: Parking and Loading. Specifically, 172.04 Parking Lot design Standards
Added language allowing parking lots to be located in the Build -to Zone subject to providing a masonry screen
wall.
DISCUSSION
These amendments were heard at the March 25"', April 8`", and April 22, 2013 Planning Commission meetings, and a
work session was held at the April 18"' Agenda Session. On April 22, 2013 the Planning Commission voted 9-0-0 in
favor of a recommendation of approval for ADM 13-4353.

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTERS 151, 161, 164, AND
172 OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE TO MODIFY
CERTAIN STANDARDS WITHIN URBAN ZONING

WHEREAS, the utilization of urban or "form -based" zoning districts is a specific
benchmark adopted by the City Council in Fayetteville's City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan;
and
WHEREAS, in 2009 the City Council adopted new standards related to urban zoning
districts that were to be applied city-wide; and
WHEREAS, the Unified Development Code should be amended from time to time to
include a range of zoning districts and uses that meet the evolving needs and expectations of
Fayetteville citizens, businesses, and land developers; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning staff has identified changes that will encourage the
development of a "traditional town form" and "appropriate infill as our highest priority," at the
proper scale and transition to surrounding properties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby amends
§151 Definitions of the Unified Development Code by repealing these definitions and enacting
replacement definitions as shown below:
"Build -to Zone. A build -to zone is a range of allowable distances from a street
right-of-way in which a building or structure shall be constructed in order to create
a moderately uniform line of buildings along the street.
Minimum buildable street frontage. (Zoning). The minimum required percentage of
a lot's street frontage, established by the underlying zoning district and measured in
linear feet, that is met by constructing a portion or portions of the vertical side of a
building or structure within the build -to zone, subject to Supplementary District
Regulations. Buildings may be constructed outside of the build -to -zone after the
minimum required percentage has been met."
Section 2. That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby amends
§161 Zoning Districts of the Unified Development Code as shown in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto.
Section 3. That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby amends
§164.02 Accessory Structures and Uses of the Unified Development Code to add the
following:
"(4) Build -to zones. Accessory structures shall be exempt from meeting the
requirements of the build -to zone in any zoning district."
Section 4. That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby adopts
§ 164.06 Minimum Buildable Street Frontage as shown in Exhibit `B" attached hereto.
Section 5. That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby amends
§ 172.04 Parking Lot Design Standards of the Unified Development Code by repealing
subsections "A" and "C" and enacting replacement sections "A" and "C" as shown below:
"(A) Maneuvering. Parking lots shall be designated, maintained, and regulated so that
no parking or maneuvering incidental to parking will encroach into the areas designated
for sidewalks, streets, or required landscaping. Parking lots shall be designed so that
parking and un-parking can occur without moving other vehicles, unless a valet service
has been approved as part of the development plans. Vehicles shall exit the parking lot
in a forward motion.
(C) Build -to zone. A portion of a required parking lot may be located within the build -to
zone, subject to the following:
(1) A parking lot located within the build -to zone shall be screened with a masonry
screen wall between 32' and 42" in height and 50% opaque minimum.
(2) Parking lots that are located within the build -to zone shall comply with Chapter
177: Landscape Regulations, related to landscape setbacks.
(3) Off -site parking lots shall be prohibited from being located within the build -to
zone."

161.24 Main Street/Center
(A) Purpose. A greater range of uses is
expected and encouraged in the Main
Street/Center. The Center is more spatially
compact and is more likely to have some
attached buildings than Downtown General
or Neighborhood Conservation. Multi -story
buildings in the Center are well -suited to
accommodate a mix of uses, such as
apartments or offices above shops. Lofts,
live/work units, and buildings designed for
changing uses overtime are appropriate for
the Main Street/Center. The Center is within
walking distance of the surrounding,
primarily residential areas. For the purposes
of Chapter 96: Noise Control, the Main
Street/Center district is a commercial zone.

161.25 Downtown General
(A) Purpose. Downtown General is a flexible
zone, and it is not limited to the concentrated
mix of uses found in the Downtown Core or
Main Street / Center. Downtown General
includes properties in the neighborhood that
are not categorized as identifiable centers,
yet are more intense in use than
Neighborhood Conservation. There is a
mixture of single-family homes, rowhouses,
apartments, and live/work units. Activities
include a flexible and dynamic range of uses,
from public open spaces to less intense
residential development and businesses. For
the purposes of Chapter 96: Noise Control,
the Downtown General district is a
residential zone.

(A) Purpose. The Neighborhood Conservation
zone has the least activity and a lower
density than the other zones. Although
Neighborhood Conservation is the most
purely residential zone, it can have some mix
of uses, such as civic buildings.
Neighborhood Conservation serves to
promote and protect neighborhood
character. For the purposes of Chapter 96:
