BACKGROUND The Fayetteville Unified Development Code Section 166.08(I)(1) requires a minimum size for lots in the Planning Area of 10,000 square feet. However, a minimum lot size of one acre (43,560 square feet) was established by Washington County in 2006 when county-wide zoning was adopted. During the recent update of City Plan 2030 it was identified that the City's reference to lot size in the Planning Area should be modified to be consistent with Washington County. The proposed code changes removes the City's out-dated reference to bulk and area requirements for lots in the Planning Area, and clarifies development standards in the Planning Area. It should be noted that developments in the Planning Area and within one mile of the City are more strictly regulated than developments beyond one mile. The phrase "Subdivision Regulations" has been added to 166.05 to clarify the overall regulations for subdivisions outside the City limits. DISCUSSION On November 13, 2012 the Planning Commission voted 5-0-0 in favor of a recommendation of approval for ADM 12-4259. BUDGET IMPACT None.

The first would be to remove the City's bulk and area regulations for building lots in deference to Washington County regulations. The second is to require that all lots outside the City but within the Planning Area have "direct frontage to a public street, with the minimum frontage required by Washington County ...." There has been use of some small and usually short private roads or driveways in the county to service more than one lot and one house. This regulation would prohibit such lots and require all lots to have frontage on a "public street." Washington County might already have instituted such a new requirement, but this is apparently a change for Unified Development Code. Adopting this new language will have the City of Fayetteville prohibiting the creation of new building lots and new home construction serviced by private roads or shared driveways beyond the city limits, but within our planning area. Because the Planning Staff wanted to repeal our bulk and area regulations (which were more generous and conflicting with Washington County regulations), it needed to repeal §166.08 (I) which is done in Section 2 of the Ordinance. Subsection (#) of §166.08 (I) dealt only with those very rare outside the city developments that the City Council agreed to allow to use our city sewer system. Planning staff recommends that it be moved unchanged from §166.08 (I) to §166.05 (B). I recommend one change to give the City Council more power and discretion in those rare agreements to allow access to our sewer system. The section now requires the parcels conform with RSF-4 zoning standards. I suggest adding "or as otherwise designated by the City Council," so that you could allow more innovative use of such land (clustering of homes, changed setbacks, more common greenspace, etc.) than traditional RSF-4 zoning. I have placed that authorizing language within the proposed ordinance. If you wish to only allow RSF-4 zoning requirements, it should be removed through amendment. 2 ORDINANCE NO.
