Pate, Director of Current Planning Date: October 27, 2005 Subject: Master Street Plan Amendment for 620 N. College Avenue (ADM 05-1794) RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval of a Master Street Plan amendment to reduce the right-of-way on College Avenue from 55' to 30' from centerline at 620 N. College Avenue to allow the renovation and additional construction of the existing structure on the property. BACKGROUND On October 24th, the Planning Commission approved the requested Master Street Plan amendment unanimously, following their previous recommendation to the City Council to reclassify College Avenue from the Downtown Master Plan area to North Street, also as recommended by Dover, Kohl & Associates. Additionally, the Board of Adjustment approved a variance to allow the structure to be constructed to the Master Street Plan right-of-way line. The existing building on this property, along with most of those along College Avenue, encroach partially or totally into the Master Street Plan right-of-way, which currently requires a total of 110 feet. In order to develop the Master Street Plan cross-section in this manner, most of the buildings along College Avenue in this area would require purchasing and demolition. It was with this in mind that the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment made their recommendations. Discussion regarding the feasibility of future expansion of the street did occur at these meetings; the Planning Commission ultimately found that the importance of encouraging projects to continue in the manner recommended in the Downtown Master Plan policy adopted by the City Council was essential, and that future street improvements could potentially occur within the right-of-way currently existing. The Street Committee on October 25"' forwarded this item to the full City Council for discussion without a formal recommendation for or against the proposal. DISCUSSION The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 in favor of this request on October 24, 2005. BUDGET IMPACT None. • 0 RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION REDUCING IIIE RIGI OF WAY DEDICATION REQUIRED FROM COLLEGE AVENUE CENTERLINE FROM 55 FEET TO 30 FEET ACCOMODATING II1E EXISTING STRUCTURE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 620 N. COLLEGE AVENIJF. AS DESCRIBED IN ITEM ADM 05-1794. \VIIEREAS, numerous existing structures are within the required Master Street Plan right-of-way for College Avenue in this vicinity, including an existing structure on the subject property That would have to be removed for redevelopment if required to comply with the current Master Street Plan; WHEREAS, the required Master Street Plan right-of-way for this portion of College Avenue is no Ionizer necessary for road expansion; WIIEREAS, considerable expansion of College Avenue in this vicinity would he of great expense to the City to purchase properties and structures.

CITY ATTORNEY DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO: City Council CC: Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney 626 DATE: October 28, 2005 RE• Variance in dedication requirements In the past, the City Council has allowed a variance in dedication requirements of the Master Street Plan "in the event of undue hardship" pursuant to §171.30 of the Unified Development Code. I believe this is the more proper procedure than the Planning Commission's proposed amendment of the Master Street Plan itself for a single small portion of a street. • • RESOLUTION NO.

College Avenue): Submitted by ROBERT SHARP ARCHITECT, INC., the applicant requests to amend the Master Street Plan at 620 N. College Avenue to accommodate an existing structure and proposed development. The applicant requests that the required right-of-way for College Avenue be modified from 55' right-of-way from centerline to 30' right-of-way from centerline. Planner: SUZANNE MORGAN RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested Master Street Plan Amendment based on the findings included as part of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Date: October 24, 2005 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Date: November 15, 2005 Required YES X Approved 9 Denied H•ka, ► % A Suomi bi Alm o4:j(-O-O Required YES ❑ Approved ❑ Denied Property Description: The subject property is located at 620 North College Avenue, which is at the southeast corner of Rebecca Street and College Avenue. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, and is surrounded by commercial, office, and residential uses. There is currently an existing 13,270 square foot structure on this property. Surrounding Zonine and Uses: Direction Land Use Zoning North Tattoo Parlor C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial South Parking/Commercial East Ambulance/Emergency Services R -O, Residential Office West Commercial/Restaurant Space C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial R -O, Residential Office • • Proposal: The applicant proposes to remodel and repair the existing structure into a two- story building by adding additional area on the first floor and a second story, for a total building area of 23,125 square feet. The structure is proposed to be utilized for a variety of retail, restaurant, theater, and office uses. The existing structure is nonconforming, as it encroaches within the required building setback and Master Street Plan right-of-way setback adjacent to College Avenue. The applicant proposes to construct a new building that extends 3' 11" further into the proposed Master Street Plan right-of-way than the existing structure. A variance to allow the existing and proposed structure to have a 0' setback and be constructed to the existing Master Street Plan right-of-way was considered by the Board of Adjustment on June 6, 2005. The Board of Adjustment approved the requested variance from the zoning regulations set forth in Chapter 161 of the Unified Development Code which require a 25' front building setback from the Master Street Plan right-of- way. Request: The request is to amend the Master Street Plan adjacent to the subject property. College Avenue is designated a Principal Arterial street, which requires 55' right-of-way from centerline. The applicant requests that the Master Street Plan be amended to a 30' right-of-way dedication from centerline. Ultimately, the applicant would like to build up to 38' 9" from the centerline of College Avenue; a 16' 3" encroachment into the Master Street Plan right-of-way. There is an existing 30' right-of-way from centerline of College Ave. It is the City Council's discretion to approve a variance of the Master Street Plan Setback and allow redevelopment and/or expansion of a structure within the Master Street Ilan right-of-way setback. No encroachments are proposed within the required building setback adjacent to Rebecca Street. Background: The City of Fayetteville hired Dover, Kohl and Associates in 2004 to assist City Staff in drafting a Downtown Master Plan. Following an extensive and well attended public process a Downtown Master Plan was adopted by the City with recommended action items to implement the plan. The City has adopted the Downtown Master Plan document, and the proposed amendments to the General Plan 2020: "Master Street Plan — Street Classifications", is one step in changing the existing codes in order to implement the vision that will guide future development downtown. The current Master Street Plan chapter details street cross-sections that are more applicable to suburban types of development. Streets in the downtown area are unique, and the emphasis of this amendment is to enhance the inherent walkablity of the downtown arca. Implementation of the Downtown Master Plan: City of Fayetteville staff has been incrementally implementing the recommendations set forth in the Downtown Master Plan. One phase of this implementation was Master Street Plan amendments to the streets within the Downtown Master Plan. On August 08, 2005, the Planning • Commission recommended approval to amend the Master Street Plan and the General Plan 2020 adopting the street classification system and cross sections as recommended by the Downtown Master Plan, which included the reclassification of College Avenue to a 60' right-of-way. The City Council approved the recommended reclassifications to those streets within the Downtown Master Plan, with the exception of College Avenue. 1 1 2H I sol 41 L_r EI 4.elti it L J F1 300 41 ss' of K1 3I soto- 3 1/4- 1 REBECCA Myer a 9 N 9 Iv REBECCA ST.

This request will be an amendment to the Master Street Plan which currently calls for a 110' right-of-way and a 50` setback. A right-of-way of 110'along College Avenue would be antithetical to best practices of good urban design and would run counter to the city's goals as set forth by the Dover Kohl Master Plan. The broad principles of the Dover Kohl Master Plan were developed after extensive input from the citizens of Fayetteville, and were adopted by the City Council. We strongly feel that working to a 110' right of way is both completely unrealistic and undesirable. As shown on the attached diagram, virtually every existing building along College Avenue in central Fayetteville would have to be removed. Clearly, this is not a realistic option. Furthermore, the 110' right-of-way, if carried out, would sacrifice streetscape and sidewalk improvements intended to promote a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment that could serve as an extension of the city's green space. In essence, the decision to increase the existing 60' right-of-way would seal College Avenue's fate as a bypass that would displace consumers and revenue to outlying areas. The city should do everything in its power to attract and sustain the attention of the public and commerce to the core of the city. The Board of Adjustments overwhelmingly supported a reduced setback along College Avenue in order to facilitate this project. An amendment to the Master Street Plan would allow us to transform an eyesore into an attractive and viable location for commerce. Enclosed you will find supporting images that will graphically depict the consequences of the expansion. We respectfully request that the City Council re-examine the implications of this expansion and grant our requested amendment since it is absolutely critical to the current and future vitality of the city. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Robert Sharp.
