ADM 15-5093 (UDC CHAPTERS 161,164 AND 172 - SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY
INFILL)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE XV: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OF THE CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE, TO AMEND 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 IN CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS; TO CREATE THE RSF-18 ZONING
DISTRICT; AND TO INCLUDE MINIMUM DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THIS TYPE OF
DEVELOPMENT.
WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville recognizes that the opportunity to provide appropriate
neighborhood density through small lot development supports City Plan 2030 goals of prioritizing
infill development and discouraging suburban sprawl; and
WHEREAS, small lot development with reduced lot sizes and building setbacks may encourage the
creation of housing that may be financially attainable to a large segment of the Fayetteville
community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville recognizes that small lot developments are appropriate in many
areas of the city zoned for high-density, multi -family housing; and
WHEREAS, the overall residential density of single-family and two-family developments in multi-
family zoning districts will better match the underlying permitted density by reducing the lot size
requirements for residential development; and
WHEREAS, design standards for narrow lot development shall be utilized to maximize visual
transparency between homes and the street to increase "eyes on the street" and promote safe urban
environments.
