Warrick, AICP, Zoning and Development Administrator ,r Date: October 31, 2003 Subject: Master Street Plan amendent — Stearns Street RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval of a resolution amending the Master Street Plan to reclassify Steams Street from a collector to a local street and to reconfigure the connection of Stearns Street with Vantage Drive. BACKGROUND Property description: The subject property is located east of N. College Ave., between Joyce Blvd. and Zion Rd. Steams Street is currently designated a collector street on the Master Street Plan connecting Joyce Blvd. and Vantage Drive (a partially built north/south collector). Proposal: The applicant proposes to develop an apartment project north of the location where Stearns Street will connect with Vantage Drive. As a part of the project, an off-site connection to Stearns Street is proposed in order to provide additional access and connectivity for the development. Request: The request is to reclassify Steams Street in this location from a collector street requiring 70' of right-of-way to a local street which requires 50' of right-of-way. A change in the configuration of the intersection of Stearns Street and Vantage Drive is also proposed in order to provide a buildable lot south of the apartments for future development. The current configuration of this connection would cause the extension of Stearns Street to bisect a property leaving little or no ability for it to be properly developed. DISCUSSION The Planning Commission voted 7-0-0 in favor of the associated Large Scale Development for Stearns Street Apartments which included consideration of this Master Street Plan amendment as a condition of that approval on Monday, October 27, 2003. 1 • City Council Meaag of November 18, 2003 Agenda Item Number Steams Street is identified on the City's current Master Street plan. The purpose of this street is to provide a way for traffic to access Vantage Drive and to then be able to travel north to Zion Road or south to Joyce Street. The proposed change in classification and reconfiguration of Stearns Street will not detrimentally impact the intent of the Master Street Plan in this location. Traffic flow will be substantially the same. The Master Street Plan amendments which are being presented with the City's Traffic and Transportation Plan prepared by Bucher, Willis & Ratliff Corp. does not show a collector street in this location indicating that Stearns Street would be reclassified should the new plan be adopted as proposed. BUDGET IMPACT None. The full street segment will be built by the developer of Steams Street Apartments as an off-site improvement when that project is constructed. 2 • • RESOLUTION NO.

Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72703 RE: Master Street Plan RNV Reduction Stems Street and Shepherd Lane CTA Job No. 021131-00 Dear Jeremy: October 29, 2003 RECEIVED OCT 3 0 2003 PLANNING DIV. Per this letter, we are formally requesting a reduction in right-of-way for Stems Street and Shepherd Lane to be presented at the next regular meeting of the City Counsel. We are requesting to reduce Shepard Lane from a collector street 70' right of way to a local street with 50' of nght of way. We are also requesting reducing Steams street from a 70' right of way to a 50 ft right of way. The following are our justifications: 1. The commercial center of Bames and Noble, Toys -R -Use ect...will prevent Shepard Lane from ever being a through street to 71 B which would be the intent of a collector type street. The only traffic that would utilize this street would be Local residential uses. 2. Stems street connects to Joyce Boulevard near the mayor intersection of Joyce and 71 B. Making Stems street a collector would create another significant intersection next to one of the busiest in Fayetteville. We fill it would make more since to direct the majority of traffic to the future intersection of Vantage dnve and Joyce which would be further east. Also, the section of Stems street that is already constructed, and RNV dedicated, is to local street standards, not collector street standards. For these reasons, along with constructing Vantage Drive as a boulevard, we fill that the reduction in street classifications are justified. Should you have any questions, or require any additional information, please contact us at your convenience. Very Truly Yours, 'Crafton, Tull & Associates, Inc.

The property is zoned RMF -24, Residential Multi -family 24 units per acre, and R -O, Residential Office, and contains 23 acres. The proposal is to construct an apartment complex with 276 units proposed. Planner: Jeremy Pate Findings: Proposal: The applicant requests to construct an apartment complex within an RMF -24 and R -O zoning district comprised of 276 units (460 bedrooms in 23 buildings) and a 1250 SF clubhouse. The R -O parcel was approved by Planning Commission in April of 2003 as a Conditional Use to allow multifamily residential with a maximum density of 18 units per acre (see attached minutes). Conditions of approval specifically addressed a requirement for a mixture of building sizes and facades which would provide the appearance of a more diverse community of residential uses; elevations which were required to be submitted at the time of large scale development review; installation of sidewalks on the subject property; on- and off-site improvements; and a maximum density of 18 dwelling units per acre. Building elevations were submitted for review by Subdivision Committee on October 16, 2003. Based on comments received, the applicant revised the site plan to reflect three different building footprints with six different facades, including the clubhouse. The conditional use is applicable to only that portion of the site within the R -O zoning district; however, the applicant has continued the mixture of facades and footprints into the RMF -24 portion of the tract, in keeping with the spirit of the requirement.

No. 97-96 10.1 Street Classifications Planning is required to connect Fayetteville to other population centers and to provide for circulation within the community. New development must be provided with proper access to alleviate problems associated with congestion and safety by requiring streets in sufficient number and of adequate size to accommodate peak traffic volumes. The Master Street Plan is a hierarchy of various street types. All streets within Fayetteville have been functionally classified in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the U. S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Functional Classification Study Manual. Functional classification is defined by the Northwest Arkansas Regional Transportation Study as: The grouping of public ways by likeness of service or purpose into classes or systems according to the character ojservice they are intended to provide. The frame of reference is the sense of service offered to and expected by the road user. Neither ownership nor administrative responsibility is relevant in grouping by function. The hierarchy offunctional classes reflects the type of traffic using each facility and how they function in relation to the overall street network. Streets within Fayetteville are classified as one of the following nine types: RESIDENTIAL STREETS provide for the lowest level of traffic and service. They provide access to residential property and are intended to be used only by local traffic.
