That the City Councilof the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, adopt the Land Use Pla approved by the Fayetteville Planning Commission on June 2, 1959, a@ vpEe lielbSISASa.rly set forth in words and figures as follows: N cool �PSkk0c° 1tV\ LAND USE PLAN � a FOR tA 0ENE�4 FAYETTEVILLE AND VICINITY PO afirCO t s O" ri$t 'blectives of a Land Use Plan Land use planning is an aspect of city planning which is concerned with the location, intensity and amount of land development required for the various space using functions of city life --industry, business, housing, recreation, education, government, and the religious and cultural activities of the people. Basically, it involves an evaluation of land Uses, what these uses,are, how much land is used for each function, and how these uses are related to each. other. A land use plan has a number of general objectives. (Adopted from the Land Use Section of the Master Plan of the City and County of San Francisco, January, 1953) a. Improvement of the city as a place for commerce and industry by making it more efficient, orderly and satisfactory for the production, exchange and distribution of goods and services, with adequate space for each type of economic activity and improved facilities for the loading and movement of goods. • b. Improvement of the city as a place for living, by aiding in making it more healthful, safe, pleasant and satisfying, with housing representing good standards for all families and by providing adequate open spaces and appropriate community facilities.

Organizationof the two principal functional parts of the city --the working areas and the community areas-- so that each may be clearly distunguished from but complementary to the other, and so that. the economic, social, and cultural develop- ment of the city niay be furthered. d. Protection, preservation and enhancement of the economic, social, cultural and aesthetic values that establish the desirable quality and unique character of the city. e. Coordination of the varied pattern of land uses with public and semi-public service facilities required for efficient functioning of the city, for the convenience and well-being of its residents, workers, and visitors. f. Coordination of the varied pattern of land uses with circulation routes and facilities required for the efficient movement of people and goods within the city, and to and from the city. g. Coordination of the growth and development of the city with the growth and development of the larger regional. area. 2. Statutory Authority Section 4 of Act 186, Arkansas Planning Law, provides that "a planning commission may prepare and adopt a land use plan which may include but shall not be limited to the reservation of open spaces, the preservation of natural and historical features, sites and monuments, the existing uses to be retained withoutchange, the existing uses proposed for change, and the areas proposed for redevelopment, rehabilitation, renewal, and similar programs." 3. Fayetteville Existing Land Uses Based on a survey of existing land uses in July, 1959, 2,104, or 39.3 per cent of the 5,361 acres within the Fayetteville city limits were found to be vacant, undeveloped land. This is equivalent to 3.39 square miles of vacant land.., The 3,257 acres of developed land, 60.7 percent, is distributed by land uses as follows: Fayetteville Area in acres • To of total average area 0/0 of total of 32 satellite cities Residential 1,281 23.9 25.6 Commercial 120 2.2 1.4 Industrial and Railroad 256 4.8 7. 5 Streets and Alleys 720 13.4 17.3 Public and Semi-public 880 16.4 9.3 Vacant 2,104 39.3 38.9 Total: 5,361 100.0 100.0 • Fite solution 6-60 BOOK 548 .229 Page 3 For comparative purposes the average figures for 32 suburban communities of similar size are presented. Although similar in many respects, the figures suggest that Fayetteville has more area devoted to commercial uses, less to industrial and railroad uses, less to streets and alleys, and more to public and semi-public purposes than have the satellite towns. These -differencesmay account for .some of thelocal tax revenue problems. 4. A Generalized Land Use Plan for Fayetteville and. Vicinity Map No. 1 pertains. to Fayetteville and to itsplanning area withinwhich the Fayetteville Planning Commission has planning jurisdiction. It presents generalized land uses -- residential, commercial, industrial, public and semi-public, and agricultural -- for the city and for the outlying areas. The projected uses are based on existing land development but attempt to anticipate future growth and to define relationships. among the land uses within the corporate limits of the city as well as within adjacent areas. The plan ispurposely broad and general in scope. Itsintent is to provide flexibility and adjustment rather than the specific restrictions to be imposed. The plan is essentially a general guide for future land development of the. community. Map No. 2. identifiesthose areas within the city where there is evidence of neighborhood deterioration or where because of age of structures and other factors deterioration may be imminent unless preventive action is initiated. These areas are referred to as urban renewal areas. • Analysis and review of neighborhood characteristics within the city indicate that there are degrees of deterioration represented in various sections of the city. For the purpose of land use planning these various sections are classified as (a) conservation, (b) rehabilitation, and (c) clearance areas. a. Conservation areas are assumed to be basically sound neighborhoods where the section indicated is largely preventive rather than corrective. Such action may involve full emphasis upon zoning and housing code enforcement but only minor physical changes.. b. Rehabilitation areas usually are characterized by concentrations of property deterioration, blight and blighting influences, usually of a "spotty" rather than of a general nature. Selective clearance and physical alterations may be necessary with a major emphasis placed on property repair and maintenance and. on effective enforcement of zoning and housing controls. c. Clearance areas involve sections of the city where neighborhood deterioration has reached the point where only general clearance and redevelopment is feasible and where existing property uses have little or no salvage value. • :a.� Resolution 6-60 BOOK 548 250 i 1 T Page 4 5. Land Use Plan for Fayetteville.and_Vicinity Thisstatement setting forth the objectives, characteristics and elements of a land use plan, together with Map No. 1, Generalized Land Use Plan, and Map No. 2, Generalized Land Use Plan (Urban Renewal Areas)', constituteand are parts of the Land Use Plan for Fayettevilleand Vicinity. 6. Implementation of Land Use Plan To carry out a plan for land uses, a municipality or other political jurisdiction relies uponthe tools of planning, such aszoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, public improvement programs, and urban renewal. These regulations and programs for implementing the plans, however, represent another phase of the planning process and therefore are not considered at this time.
