CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
FROM: Quin Thompson, Current Planner
THRU: Andrew Garner, Planning Director
DATE: May 1, 2015
SUBJECT: RZN 15.5033: Rezone (232 W. ASH ST./KOUTROUMBIS, 367): Submitted by
TAYLOR KOUTROUMBIS for property located at the 232 W. ASH ST. The
property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE
and contains approximately 0.30 acres. The request is to rezone the property to
RMF-12, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 12 UNITS PER ACRE.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone the property
to RMF-12, Residential Multi Family, 12 Units per Acre.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located at 232 W. Ash Street, mid -block between Gregg Avenue and
Woolsey Avenue and contains approximately 0.30 acres within the RSF-4 zoning district. The
property is developed with a single-family residence and out -building, dating to 1955. In 2014, the
applicant unsuccessfully sought to rezone the property to RMF-24.
• November 10, 2014 Planning Commission: This item was tabled at the applicant's request
at the 11-10-2014 PC meeting.
• November 24, 2014 Planning Commission: A motion to deny the request was approved
with a vote of 6-3-0.
• February 3, 2015 City Council: An appeal of the Planning Commission decision failed and
the property was not rezoned.
Land Use Compatibility:
This property is currently developed with a single family residence. The proposal to rezone the
property to RMF-12 will allow development of residential use that creates a transitional density
between the RMF-24 and RSF-4 zoned properties on either side. The property is a transitional
parcel between multi -family residential on a high speed arterial street and a single-family
residential neighborhood further to the east. The RMF-1 2 zoning district would allow a maximum
of 3 units on the property, compatible with the adjacent multi -family apartments to the west and
duplex development to the east.
Land Use Plan Analysis:
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
The City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Map designates this area as Residential Neighborhood Area.
Staff finds the proposed zoning consistent with the Residential Neighborhood designation which
encourages, where appropriate, a mix of residential types. Guiding Policy "E" for Residential
Areas encourages a development scale to maintain compatibility, use, and proportionality
between land uses. The proposed RMF-12 zoning district would allow a small multi -family building
to provide a transitional density into an area of the neighborhood with much smaller buildings and
lower intensity development. The development scale allowed would be proportional to
surrounding smaller structures to the east and south. Guiding Policy "G" discusses that traffic on
minor residential streets should be minimized while providing connections between
neighborhoods. The proposed RMF-12 zoning would encourage a higher density project and its
associated traffic further onto Ash Street, a minor residential street, but the slight increase in
density is unlikely to have a noticeable impact on the neighborhood.
DISCUSSION:
On April 27, 2015 the Planning Commission forwarded this item to the City Council with a
recommendation for approval by a vote of 6-0-1, with Commissioner Brown recusing. At that
meeting, the property owner of the duplex lot to east spoke against the rezoning, saying that the
density allowed by the RMF-12 zone would not be compatible with the neighborhood.

Submitted by TAYLOR KOUTROUMBIS for property located at the 232 W.
ASH ST. The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY,
4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.30 acres. The request
is to rezone the property to RMF-12, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 12

Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4, Residential Single-family / 4 Units
per Acre to RMF-12, Residential Multi -family / 12 Units per Acre. The applicant has stated that
the rezoning will allow the property to be re -developed in the future with a duplex behind the
existing residence.
Public Comment: Staff has received comments from the family of the adjacent neighbor to the
east, opposing the rezone request, citing erosion at the edge of a stable single-family
neighborhood and the impact additional density would have upon immediate neighbors.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject parcel has access to Ash Street, Ash Street currently has storm
drainage, curb and gutter and limited sidewalk. Any required improvements of
these streets will be determined at time of development.
Water: Public water is accessible to the site. A 1.5" water main exists in the right of way
of Ash Street adjacent to the subject parcel.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the parcel. A 6" sewer main exists in the right of
way of Ash Street.
Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at
time of development. This property is not affected by the 100 -year floodplain or
the Streamside Protection Ordinance.
Fire: This development will be protected by Engine 2 located at 708 N Garland.
It is 2 miles from the station with an anticipated response time of 3 minutes to the
beginning of the development. The Fayetteville Fire Department does not feel
this development will negatively affect calls for service or response times.
Police: The Police Department did not express any concerns with this request.
CITY PLAN 2025 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates
this site as Residential Neighborhood Area. 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. Residential Neighborhood encourages
highly connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced setbacks. 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

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: Land Use Compatibility: This property is currently developed with a single
family residence. The proposal to rezone the property to RMF-12 will allow
development of residential use that creates a transitional density between
the RMF-24 and RSF-4 zoned properties on either side. The property is
situated as a boundary between multi -family residential on a high speed
arterial street and a quiet single-family residential neighborhood, where
encroachment of multi -family developments would allow the introduction of
height and density incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood to the
north, east and south. Further, this property is the first interior lot away from
Gregg Avenue and faces Ash Street, a local street, making this lot the logical
and natural place to transition the zoning from multi -family to single-family
residential use, as is the case under the current zoning. The RMF-12 zoning
district would allow a maximum of 3 units on the property.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Map designates
this area as Residential Neighborhood Area. Staff finds the proposed zoning
consistent with the Residential Neighborhood designation which
encourages, where appropriate, a mix of residential types. Guiding Policy
"E" for Residential Areas encourages a development scale to maintain
compatibility, use, and proportionality between land uses. The proposed
RMF-12 zoning district would allow a small multi -family building to provide
a transitional density into an area of the neighborhood with much smaller
buildings and lower intensity development. The development scale allowed
would be proportional to surrounding smaller structures to the east and
south. Guiding Policy "G" discusses that traffic on minor residential streets

its associated traffic further onto Ash Street, a minor residential street, but
the slight increase in density Is unlikely to have a noticeable impact on the
neighborhood.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: The proposed rezoning is not necessarily needed, due to the fact that the
area's current single-family residential zoning designation Is compatible
with surrounding properties and traffic patterns to the east. The property is
surrounded on three sides by single-family uses and provides a buffer from
the multi -family developments and high speed traffic conditions on Gregg
Avenue. The proposed zoning will allow the owner to utilize the property for
multi -family development as it meets minimum lot, area, and street frontage
requirements for multi -family development.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The site access has access to West Ash Street, a partially Improved two-lane
local street. The proposed zoning allows uses that would increase traffic
over the existing zoning, however, development allowed under the proposed
zoning is unlikely to appreciably Increase traffic danger or congestion, as it
would allow a maximum of three units and would be near Gregg Avenue,
which can handle large volumes of traffic. Street improvements will be
evaluated at the time of development
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: Rezoning the property from single-family to multi -family use will allow for
the construction of higher residential density, however that development is
unlikely to undesirably increase the load on public services. The Police and
Fire Departments have expressed no objections to the proposal,
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.

There are no proposed or pending property sales.
b. A zoning change is requested to allow for construction of
a small duplex on the rear side of the above listed property. The
property was recently surveyed at.3 acres (see attached), so a rezone
of RMF-12 would allow us to keep the 900 square foot home at the
front of the lot (that we recently remodeled), while adding the new
construction to the large tract of unused land in the back.
c. We believe that this duplex will fit in nicely with the surrounding
structures and neighborhood, as it will allow for a seamless flow From
the larger scale apartment buildings to the west and north into the
single family neighborhood to the east. This lot is surrounded on two
sides (West and North) by large apartment buildings. Directly across
the street from It is a single-family residence on a large subdivided lot.
The subdivided lot houses approximately 8 townhomes and has a sign
out front that reads "Asian Place," as if it were its own small
apartment community. Adjacent to the East is a large duplex. Upon
review of a plat map and speaking with other property owners, it is

We hope to attain this rezoning before the upcoming summer months,
so that we can break ground on our project before the end of the
building season.
g. The proposed rezone to RMF-12 for our.3 acre lot will only allow for
construction of a duplex, and will not appreciable Increase traffic
danger or congestion. The main access point for this property will be
a continuation of an existing driveway off of North Gregg Ave, a busy
city street, and will have no relation to traffic on Ash Street.
In addition, it should be noted that Ash is typically a busy street
anyway. Nonresidents consistently use this neighborhood as a cut
through to College Ave from N. Gregg, as well as a quick access to
Woodland Jr. High School in the morning and afternoon hours. The
addition of two more families to this neighborhood would not
significantly impact the traffic flow on this street.
h. As the proposed development is of such small scale, it will have little
to no impact on population density or the load on public services.
In summary, our hopes are two take this .3 -acre tract of land and
utilize the new zoning of RMF-12 to build a modest sized duplex,
while retaining the existing 900 square foot home. The current zoning
is impractical as this lot rests in the midst of a transition area from
large multi -family development to single family residential. A simple
drive down Ash Street from N Gregg would show that our lot is
touched by two large apartment buildings, a duplex, and sits across
from a large-scale rental complex. It should not simply be lumped in
with the single-family lots to its east, but should reflect and mirror the
vast majority of properties that surround it.
Our lot represents a significant portion of land in a central
neighborhood that is vacant and barren. If the number one goal of
Fayetteville's Master Plan is infill, our lot is a prime location for it.
Found in an area where housing is in short supply and high demand,
we believe that allowing for construction on this land would provide
necessary housing for Fayetteville residents..
It would also benefit other landowners in the area by allowing for
significant improvement, clean up, and thus increase in property
value.
We hope you will see the practicality and benefit to allowing this
rezoning, and we thank you for your consideration.
