CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor Jordan, City Council
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff �p
From: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director O`
Date: August 27, 2012
Subject: ADM 12-4259: UDC Amendment: Subdivision Regulations in the Planning Area
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of an ordinance to modify the subdivision regulations
in the Fayetteville Planning Area (UDC Section 166.05 & 166.08 (I)) to be consistent with Washington County
requirements.
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.

FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: November 19, 2012
RE: Proposed changes to §166.05 (A) Required Infrastructure Improvements
and Subdivision Regulations outside the City
Planning Staff has recommended two principal changes to the City's
regulations for developments, lot frontage requirements, etc. outside the city limits.
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.
