City of Fayetteville, Arkansas Page 2 Printed on 10/7/2015 CITY OF a e evi le CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO Y ARKANSAS MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director FROM: Jesse Fulcher, Senior Planner DATE: duly 15, 2015 Updated September 24, 2015 SUBJECT: ADM 15-5093: Administrative Item (UDC Chapters 161,164 and 172 - SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY INFILL/RSF-18 ZONING DISTRICT): Submitted by CITY PLANNING STAFF for revisions to Chapters 161, 164 and 172 to modify existing bulk and area regulations to encourage small -lot, single family and two family infill in multi -family zoning districts, to permit zero lot -line development patterns in certain zoning districts, to create the RSF-18 zoning district and to include minimum design standards for this type of development. RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of an ordinance to amend Chapters 161, 164 and 172. BACKGROUND: The Unified Development Code provides several single-family zoning districts with varying lot size requirements. In particular, new zoning districts such as Neighborhood Conservation, Neighborhood Services and RSF-8 have increased options for developing smaller homes and smaller lots in appropriate locations: Flexibility in mixed -use and commercial development has also been provided with the adoption of form -based districts such as Community Services and Urban Thoroughfare. However, the bulk and area standards for multi -family zoning districts have remained unchanged for several decades. In staffs opinion, some of the zoning standards for multi -family zoning are outdated and are a barrier to the development of smaller, higher density single-family and two- family homes, in particular. As an example, the RMF-40 zoning district allows apartments at a density of 40 units per acre. Single-family homes, however, are limited to only 7 units per acre due to the lot size and frontage (bulk and area) requirements, which is less dense than the RSF- 8 and Neighborhood Conservation zoning districts, which only allow single-family development. Over the last several years staff has seen a desire in the marketplace to build new, smaller single- family and two-family dwellings within multi -family zoning districts rather than a larger multi -family building with associated parking lot. Unfortunately, this rarely occurs without additional action by a City board or the City Council. In most cases the applicants have to rezone the property, or request zoning variances. These processes can take several months to complete, if they are Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 successful. Needless to say, the current zoning requirements don't support the development of single-family or two-family homes on small, infill lots. To address new market demands, and in response to feedback from the City Council, Planning staff has developed the RSF-18, Residential Single-family, 18 units per acre zoning district. The RSF-18 district only allows single-family homes, so the resulting development pattern is understood up front. A high -density, single-family zoning district provides a valuable option between low -density detached housing and multi -family zoning districts that permit a wide range of housing options. The setbacks for the RSF-1 8 district have been developed to allow either zero lot -line development or more conventional 5 -foot side setbacks (exhibit attached). In addition, the rear setback has been reduced to allow detached garages along rear access drives. To address maintenance along zero lot -lines, the code requires a maintenance agreement between property owners. A zero lot -line may not be utilized unless the neighboring property signs the agreement. In addition to perceived market demands, staff believes that the development of smaller single- family and two-family homes in a denser format is an appropriate land use that provides a piece of the "missing middle" housing type and supports many City Plan 2030 goals, as follows: Goal 1. We will make appropriate infill and revitalization our highest priorities. Goal 2. We will discourage suburban sprawl. • Reducing the lot size requirements for single-family and two-family homes, as well as other residential land uses, provides an opportunity to support infill development in areas that are already zoned for dense development. • Infill development can reduce the pressures to extend new public infrastructure to support new housing at the edge of the City. • Infill development allows existing public infrastructure to be utilized more efficiently. • Fees from infill development can be directed back towards existing infrastructure versus future costs for new infrastructure. Goal 3. We will make traditional town form the standard. • Denser housing and infill lead to complete, compact and connected neighborhoods, a trademark of traditional neighborhood development. Goal 4. We will grow a livable transportation network. • A greater variety of housing types and smaller lot sizes with buildings fronting the street can contribute to a better pedestrian experience and make neighborhoods more walkable, cyclist -friendly and reduce vehicle speeds. Goal 6. We will create opportunities for attainable housing. • A variety of housing types promotes mixed -income neighborhoods where residents can age in place. • Allowing more housing within the core of the City provides opportunities for residents to live within short distances of schools and services, thereby reducing transportation costs. • Denser housing can also lead to lower price points for buyers and renters. DISCUSSION: This item was discussed and tabled at the June 22, 2015 Planning Commission meeting. After that meeting staff and the Planning Commission continued to evaluate infill development patterns and made additional changes to the bulk and area regulations to ensure more flexibility for development of two-family dwellings in appropriate infill locations. On July 13, 2015 the Planning Commission forwarded this item to the City Council with a recommendation of approval with a vote of 7-0-0. The City Council discussed this item on August 4, 2015 and tabled it until October 16, 2015. UPDATED ITEMS: Updated items included in this proposal since the August 04 City Council meeting include the addition of a new medium -high density single family district (RSF-18) with a flexible development pattern, and the provision for zero lot line development (townhouse development) for both attached and detached homes in certain single family and multi -family zoning districts. Staff also reviewed the ability to decrease the lot width or area for Neighborhood Conservation as requested, but doing so would require increasing the density in this zoning district. Because NC is already adopted in many places throughout the city, and some places where an increase in density may not be desirable, we opted to create a new district instead.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward ADM 15-5093 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. PROJECT SYNOPSIS: DISCUSSION: The Planning Commissioner reviewed the project on June 2Z 2015 and tabled the proposal until the July 13, 2015 meeting. Commissioner Hoskins provided feedback about the lot requirements for two-family and three-family units; specifically requesting staff to evaluate reducing the lot size requirements to allow two and three-family units to be stacked either horizontally or vertically. Staff has updated several of the multi -family districts to allow a smaller lot width and side setback requirement for two-family units to allow increased variety and flexibility for this development pattern. This would permit a two-family dwelling on a lot that is as narrow as a single-family lot. The intent under this scenario is for the front of the two-family dwelling to appear as a single-family home from the street, with the second unit along the side, rear or second story. The Unified Development Code provides several single-family zoning districts with varying lot size requirements. In particular, new zoning districts such as Neighborhood Conservation, Neighborhood Services and RSF-8 have increased options for developing smaller homes and smaller lots in appropriate locations. Flexibility in commercial development has also been provided with the adoption of form -based districts such as Community Services and Urban Thoroughfare.

In order to promote the goals and policies adopted by the City Council, staff recommends the following changes: 1. Chapter 161.10-161.15 Zoning Regulations. Reduce the lot width and lot area requirements for all residential land uses and reduce the side setbacks for single-family homes. Planning Commission G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2015\Development Review\15-5093 ADM UDC Amendment (Single-family infill) Chapters 161, 1641HIYd13, 2015 172\03 Planning Commission-13-2015\Comments and Redlines Agenda Item 4 15-5093 UDC single Family Page 2 of 15 2. Chapter 164.23 Small Lot Design Standards. Introduce a set of design standards for single-family homes on small lots. For the purposes of this section, small lots are defined as having less than 70 feet of street frontage. This is intended to address unique issues that arise thwn developing homes on small lots. 3. Chapter 172.11 Driveway and Parking Standards for Four (4) or Less Parking Spaces. Amended to require an 18 foot long driveway for single-family homes as measured from the garage/carport to the sidewalk. This ensures that driveways are long enough to allow parking without vehicles encroaching over the sidewalk. As noted above, Chapter 161 is being updated to allow greater variability in the types of residential units constructed in multi -family zoning districts, principally by reducing the barriers to construct single-family homes. However, as lot width and building footprints are reduced it becomes more difficult to design a home and maintain visibility between the street and building. A primary goal of Crime Prevention Through Environment Design (CPTED) is to maintain natural surveillance, or "see and be seen." Unfortunately, poor design choices when building smaller homes can greatly reduce and sometimes even eliminate natural surveillance. As a result, staff is proposing a relatively brief set of design standards for single-family homes on small lots (see exhibit "B" attached). The code specifies the standards only apply to lots with less than 70 feet of street frontage. This exempts a majority of all single-family lots in the City which are typically located in the RSF-4 zoning district, with a minimum lot width of 70 feet and maximum density of 4.units per acre. The change to Chapter 172.11 is intended to clarify an existing standard for driveway construction for single-family homes. Section (G)(2) requires driveways to be constructed at least 18 feet beyond the right-of-way line unless no parking is provided between the right-of-way line and structure. The minimum parking requirement for a single-family home is two parking spaces, so a two -car garage provides all of the required parking. In zoning districts with minimal front building setbacks the driveway is sometimes only 5-10 feet long between the sidewalk and garage doors. This leads to residents and guests parking in the driveway and over the sidewalk. Staff has amended this code section to specifically require at least an 18 foot driveway between the sidewalk and garage, so vehicles don't park over the sidewalk. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the proposed code changes be discussed and forwarded to the City Council with recommendations by the Planning Commission to be included the proposal to the City Council.
