The property is zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE, AND RMF-24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 24 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 1.84 acres. The request is to rezone the property to DG, DOWNTOWN GENERAL. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone the properties to DG, Downtown General, as shown in the attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B'. BACKGROUND: The subject properties totaling 1.30 acres are located at the northwest corner of Mill Ave. and South St. The site is partly split -zoned R-O, Residential Office and RMF-24, Residential Multi- family, 24 Units Per Acre. The property is currently developed with a 3,024 sq. ft. tri-plex constructed in 1968 and a 836 sq. ft. single-family home constructed in 1936. The applicant indicated the property has historically been a mixture of residential, commercial, and office uses with single-family homes, accessory structures, multi -family housing, and two small grocery stores occupying the site throughout its history. Request: The request is to rezone the parcels (approximately 1.30 acres) from R-O and RMF-24 to DG, Downtown General, in order to fix arbitrary zoning and development issues in preparation for new development. Public Comment: - One neighbor has expressed approval for the rezone, but has concerns over increased density and traffic to the area. - Another neighbor sent in an email in support of the rezoning, echoing the applicant's claim that the area has historically been mixed -use (see attached Planning Commission report). Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is consistent with the traditional development patterns to the west and south, Downtown and Walker Park respectively, where neighborhood plans are in effect. The immediately surrounding properties are mostly single and multi -family residences with various pockets of commercial activity. A rezoning to DG would allow the subject property to be redeveloped with higher densities and in a form -based pattern that fits development Mailing Address: 113 w. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 in adjacent Downtown and Walker Park neighborhoods. The kind of uses permitted in DG, such as single-family, multi -family, eating places, offices, neighborhood shopping, etc., are compatible with current uses in the surrounding neighborhood. Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is compatible with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of the site as a Residential Neighborhood Area. The definition of a residential neighborhood area highlights particular characteristics of what this neighborhood should be, which is primarily residential with various housing types, highly connected system of gridded streets with compact blocks, and low -intensity non-residential uses. Furthermore, residential neighborhood areas call for traditional development patterns and buildings placed closer to the property line. DG calls for the very same things: mixture of dwelling types from single-family to apartments and live/work, a dynamic range of uses from residential and open space to low - intensity non-residential development and businesses, and build -to zones closer to the street for new development. The DG zoning district does encourage patterns of development that result in realizing these goals of City Plan 2030 and connect the definitions and City-wide aspirations between the proposed zoning and future land use. DISCUSSION: This item was discussed at the May 23, 2016 Planning Commission meeting where it was forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation for approval with a vote of 6-0-1 (Commissioner Quinlan recused; Commissioners Autry and Noble were absent). At that meeting, one member of the public spoke about the alley along the western property line of this site, indicating that the alley would need to be improved with development.

The property is zoned partly R-O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE and RMF-24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI -FAMILY, containing approximately 1.30 acres total. The request is to rezone the properties to DG, DOWNTOWN GENERAL. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 16-5425 with conditions of approval. BACKGROUND: The subject properties totaling 1.30 acres are located at the northwest corner of Mill Ave and South St. The parcel is partly zoned R-O and RMF-24. The property is currently developed with a 3,024 sq. ft. tri-plex constructed in 1968 and a 836 sq. ft. single-family home constructed in 1936. The applicant claims the property has historically been a mixture of residential, commercial, and office uses with single-family homes, accessory structures, multi -family housing, and two small grocery stores occupying the site throughout its history.

Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.tayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Public Comment: One neighbor has expressed approval for the rezone, but has concerns over increased density and traffic to the area. Another neighbor sent in an email in support of the rezoning, echoing the applicant's claim that the area has historically been mixed -use (see attached). INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The subject parcels have access to South Street and Mill Avenue. Any further street improvements would be determined at time of development. Water: Public water is available to the site. A 6" water main runs down all abutting street frontages to the property. Sewer: Public sewer is available to the site. An 8" sewer main runs down Mill Ave. to the intersection of Huntsville Road with a manhole. Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage would be determined at time of development. Fire: The Fire Department did not express any concerns with the request. Police: The Police Department did not express any concerns with this request. CITY PLAN 2025 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates the properties within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood Area. These areas are primarily residential in nature and support a variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context, including single family, multifamily and rowhouses. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced setbacks. It also encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity non- residential uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting corridors. FINDINGS OF THE STAFF 1. A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans. Finding: Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is consistent with the form - based development to the west and south, Downtown and Walker Park respectively, where neighborhood plans are in effect. The immediately surrounding properties are mostly single and multi -family residences with various pockets of commercial activity. A rezoning to DG would allow the subject property to be redeveloped with higher densities and in a form -based pattern that fits development in adjacent Downtown and Walker Park neighborhoods. The kind of uses permitted in DG, such as single-family, multi -family, eating places, offices, neighborhood shopping, etc., are compatible with current uses in the surrounding neighborhood. Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is compatible with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The definition of a residential neighborhood area 2 G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2016\Development Review\16- 5425 RZN NW Corner of Mill & South St. (Thurmond Quinlan) 524 highlights particular characteristics of what this neighborhood should be, which is primarily residential with various housing types, highly connected system of gridded streets with compact blocks, and low -intensity non- residential uses. Furthermore, residential neighborhood areas call for traditional development patterns and buildings placed closer to the property line. DG calls for the very same things: mixture of dwelling types from single- family to apartments and live/work, a dynamic range of uses from residential and open space to low -intensity non-residential development and businesses, and build -to zones closer to the street for new development. The DG zoning district does encourage patterns of development that result in realizing these goals of City Plan 2030 and connect the definitions and City- wide aspirations between the proposed zoning and future land use. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The applicant has requested the zoning change in order to make reasonable development of the site. Current zoning has created an arbitrary line that creates administrative burden in meeting zoning requirements for two different zoning districts. Changing the zoning would both simplify the requirements, but also make it easier for the applicant to appropriately and practically develop the property with greater freedom allotted under DG. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The site has access to South Street and Mill Avenue, which are both considered Local Streets under the Master Street Plan. The DG zoning would allow residential and non-residential use by right, which may increase traffic compared to the existing use and zoning. The surrounding street system has adequate capacity to handle increased traffic, but there are valid concerns from the neighbors over the quality of South St. adjacent to the property and the affect new development would have on South St.'s quality and safety. 4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and sewer facilities. Finding: Rezoning the property from R-O and RMF-24 to DG would allow a greater density, but the applicant does not currently have plans to increase density beyond the 24 units per acre currently enforced in the existing zoning. Development in DG is capped at four (4) stories and would have to include parking and adequate circulation for vehicles and people. It would be unreasonable to believe that a developer would fill the entire site with a multi- family building. There is no reason that DG would undesirably increase the load on public services more than what is already offered in the existing zones. 5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as: 3 G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2016\Development Review\16- 5425 RZN NW Corner of Mill & South St. (Thurmond Quinlan) 524 a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted under its existing zoning classifications; b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the proposed zoning is not desirable. Finding: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of RZN 16-5425 based on the findings discussed throughout this report with the condition that the rezone exhibit matches the vacation exhibit in VAC 16-5424 prior to the City Council meeting.

The owner of the properties as of April 13, 2016 is Flintlock Development, LLC —purchased from Mark Porter. Parcel 765-02976-000 is owned by the City of Fayetteville, but this Right of Way Parcel is concurrently being requested to be vacated. If approved, this petition for R.O.W vacation would cause ownership of that parcel to revert back to adjacent landowner Flintlock Development, LLC for development. The zoning change request is being made to simplify development of the property. They are currently split between two zones somewhat arbitrarily down the middle (not following any of the existing parcel lines). The Downtown General zone runs north -south on all parcels across Alley 119 from the subject property, skips over this property, and begins again across E. South Street. The property has been historically a mix of residential, commercial, and office uses with single-family homes, accessory structures, multi -family housing, and two small groceries occupying the site during its history. The requested zoning change will minimally impact the surrounding properties in terms of land use, traffic, appearance, and signage. Both the existing zoning types assigned to the property allow similar densities and mixed uses as the requested DG zone, and indeed many of surrounding properties are themselves classified as Downtown General. For the purposes of Noise Control, the Downtown General district is still a residential zone. So many of the existing protections for neighboring properties will remain the same. Water and Sewer are available in adequate quantities adjacent to the site. An 8" sewer line runs south down Mill Ave, and becomes a 10" sewer line at a manhole in the intersection with Huntsville Road. A 6" water main runs down all abutting street frontages to the property. It is our opinion that the proposed zoning change is entirely consistent with both land use planning objectives, principles, and policies and is consistent with the history of the site and neighborhood. The rezoning will allow the property to be developed directly in line with the City's goals to "make appropriate infill... our highest priority," "make traditional town form the standard," and "create attainable housing." The development plan for the site includes a small cottage court and rowhouses built with some ground levels flexible to be convertible to offices / small retail in the future. The homes will be small (all under 2000 SF) and attainable in price. They'll also be walkable to the square and the Farmer's Market. These development plans can be achieved by right under the current RO and RMF-24 zoning, but are more suitably accomplished under the form based DG zoning code. We are of the opinion that the proposed zoning is justified/needed for the reasonable development of the site. The somewhat arbitrary current zoning lines create undue administrative burden in meeting zoning requirements that vary only enough to be difficult (examples: side setback requirements of 10' in RO, side setbacks of 8' in RMF-24). The proposed zoning change is not expected to increase traffic danger or congestion. The proposed zoning is not expected to alter the population density or increase the load on public services, as the existing zoning types allow equally high density development potential. fA i The uses allowed under the current zoning classification are not significantly different than those under the request Downtown General classification. However, for reasonable and practical development and use of the properties, a consistent zoning classification is requested, These properties would most appropriately and practically be developed by simplifying the zoning of the neighborhood. For convenience, the purpose statements of the three zoning types in question are Purpose. The RMF-24 Multi -family Residential District is designed to permit and encourage the developing of a variety of dwelling types in suitable environments in a variety of densities. Purpose, The Residential -Office District is designed primarily to provide area for offices without limitation to the nature or size of the office, together with community facilities, restaurants and compatible residential uses.

I'd like to voice my support for the rezoning request for the property at the intersection of Mill Ave, and South Street. Historically, the neighborhood has always been a mixed use zone. The street corner in question was once the home of a barbecue join. Across the street is a motorcycle shop, and a block away, the building that now houses a massage business and water purifier company was once a gay bar. None of these business have had a negative impact on the neighborhood. The biggest eyesores in the neighborhood have always been the poorly kept residential yards, and lack of sidewalk upkeep by residential property owners. I'm glad to see some interest in revitalizing this neglected area of the block Very Respectfully, Jerry Bailey Fayetteville, Arkansas NoRTHwEsTARKANsAs Demo�ML a �ett�e �,-�%.
