James St./Haven Campus, 404): Submitted by BLEW & ASSOCIATES, INC. for property located at 1211 W. JAMES ST. The property is zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE and contains approximately 0.63 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES, subject to a Bill of Assurance. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and Staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone the subject property from R-O, Residential Office to CS, Community Services, subject to a Bill of Assurance, as shown in the attached Exhibits 'A', 'B', and 'C'. BACKGROUND: The property located at 121 W. James St., northwest of Harp's grocery store and east of Garden Park Apartments, is 0.63 acres and currently zoned R-O, Residential Office. The property has been used for years since 1970 as an office and was granted a conditional use for said office use in 1999. In 2008, the parcel was rezoned from RMF-24 to R-O and in 2015, a conditional use permit was granted to allow multi -family use on the subject property. During review of a proposed multi -family project on the site in 2015 thru 2016, it became apparent to the applicant that the density limitation of 24 units per acre on the R-O portion of the property was too restrictive for the proposed project. The applicant now proposes to rezone the site to allow increased multi -family residential density. Request: The applicant requests to rezone 0.63 acres from R-O, Residential Office to CS, Community Services, subject to a Bill of Assurance. The Bill of Assurance, attached to this memo, would limit the height of multi -family buildings facing the existing single-family homes across James Street (see attached). The applicant claims that a rezoning of this property would allow development currently unattainable in the existing zoning to be feasible for the developer. The developer was permitted a conditional use for multi -family on this site, however the maximum density of 24 unit per acre permitted in R-O zoning is not enough to accommodate the economic desires of the developer. Public Comment: Staff has received no public comment. Surrounding Land Use Compatibility: The proposal is generally compatible with nearby properties. CS could adequately function as a transition zone between commercial and residential uses Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.tayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 through its ability to be mixed -use, or at least be developed as high -density residential. Changing this site from R-O to CS is unquestionably compatible with adjacent properties to the south and west that are zoned CS, including Garden Park Apartments zoned RMF-24 to the far west. For properties to the east, this rezone would not be affected by nor adversely affect Harp's grocery store. However, the single-family homes to the north that are zoned RMF-24 may take issue with the allowed 56 feet maximum height on buildings in CS zoning. Such a massive disparity between permitted 5-story buildings to existing single -story homes across James St. would be poor urban design and could adversely impact said properties and occupants. In pre -application meetings, staff discussed with the applicant that this disparity could be minimized to three stories maximum along James St. while allowing the applicant to feasibly develop their project. The applicant has provided a Bill of Assurance to restrict the proposed apartment complexes to three stories in height in the build -to zone along West James Street. Land Use Plan and Policy Analysis: The proposal is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan map designation of City Neighborhood Area on this site. City Neighborhood Areas are meant to support the widest spectrum of uses and CS zoning allows a cornucopia of residential and commercial uses within traditional town forms on an in -fill site, which touches the goals of the 2030 Plan. CS zones are intended to provide mixed -use areas at commercial nodes or along commercial corridors. This proposal is close to the large commercial node at Garland Ave. and North St./Wedington Dr. and satisfies this goal. Furthermore, this proposal is appropriate for a property that is bounded by nearby high -volume, arterial roadways, commercial uses, and multi- family land uses. Furthermore, Staff finds that the proposed zoning is justified. R-O zoning limits the density to 24 units or less per acre and does not have a build -to zone, while the remainder of the applicant's property to the south contains CS, which does not have a maximum density and has a build -to zone. Having consistent zoning across the intended development area would make development details consistent and easier to address. The applicant does have a conditional use permit under current R-O zoning to allow for multi -family units on the property. DISCUSSION: On September 12, 2016, Planning Division staff recommended in favor of this rezone. The Planning Commission concurred and forwarded the applicant's request for a rezoning to CS on the subject property. A motion by Commissioner Hoffman, seconded by Commissioner Autry, to forward the proposal to the City Council with a recommendation for approval was made with a vote of 8-0-0. Commissioner Noble was absent.

James St./Haven Campus, 404): Submitted by BLEW & ASSOCIATES, INC. for property located at 1211 W. JAMES ST. The property is zoned R-O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE and contains approximately 0.63 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES, subject to a Bill of Assurance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 16-5548 to City Council with a recommendation for approval based on the findings herein. BACKGROUND: 1211 Property Background: The property located at 12i W. James St., northwest of Harp's grocery store and east of Garden Park Apartments, is 0.63 acres and currently zoned R-O, Residential Office. The property has been used for years since 1970 as an office and was granted a conditional use for said office use in 1999.

During review of a proposed multi -family project on the site in 2015 thru 2016, it became apparent to the applicant that the density limitation of 24 units per acre on the R-O portion of the property was too restrictive for the proposed project. The applicant now proposes to rezone the site to allow increased multi -family residential density. The surrounding land use and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Mountain Street www.tayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 316'19i11111*1101kiI Request: The applicant requests to rezone 0.63 acres from R-O, Residential Office to CS, Community Services, subject to a Bill of Assurance. The Bill of Assurance would limit the height of multi -family buildings facing the existing single-family homes across James Street (see attached). The applicant claims that a rezoning of this property would allow development currently unattainable in the existing zoning to be feasible for the developer. The developer was permitted a conditional use for multi -family on this site, however the maximum density of 24 unit per acre permitted in R-O zoning is not enough to accommodate the economic desires of the developer. Public Comment: Staff has received no public comment. INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The subject parcel has access to James Street, a partially improved local street with curb and gutter. On- and off -site street improvements to James Street will be likely, and would be determined at time of development and could include storm drainage, sidewalks, or street widening. Water: Public water is available to the site. A 6" public main is located within the James Street right-of-way. Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the site. A 6" public main is located within the James Street right-of-way. Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development. No protected streams cross this site, and no portion of the site lies within FEMA regulated floodways or floodplains. No portions of these parcels are located within the HHOD. Fire: This development will be protected by Engine 2 located at 708 N. Garland. It is .6 miles from the station to the study area with an anticipated response time of 3 minutes to the beginning of the study area. The Fire Department does not feel this rezoning will affect calls for service or response times. Police: The Police Department have not expressed concerns with this request. CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates this site as City Neighborhood Area. These areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and provide a varying mix of nonresidential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types. Non-residential uses range in size, variety and intensity from grocery stores and offices to churches, and are typically located at corners and along connecting corridors. FINDINGS OF THE STAFF 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: This rezoning will create the opportunity for development that could substantially increase traffic, particularly car and pedestrian activity, on surrounding roads over the existing zoning. Substantial on- and off -site street improvements to James Street would be likely at time of development and could include storm drainage, sidewalks, or street widening.

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: The proposed CS zoning would increase the load on public services over existing R-O zoning, but there has been no indication that it would undesirably increase said load. 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: 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: The current property does have a conditional use for multi -family dwellings, which is the applicant's intention for developing this property.

The proposed zoning of CS will relate very well with the RMF-24 to the west and north of the site and the site adjoins C-2 to the East. Water and sewer is readily available with a 12" water line on the south side of the site and an 6" along the north side of the site, a 6" sanitary sewer line is located at the northeast corner of the site. The proposed zoning of CS work very with the 2030 City Plan of City Neighborhood Areas for this section of town. Without the proposed zoning of CS the site will not allow for enough units to justify the project. The proposed site will have 2 entry/exits one to James St and W. Wedington St to help with traffic concerns. 524 W.
