FayTlle CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
NSAS
MEETING OF NOVEMBER 1, 2016
TO: Mayor, Fayetteville City Council
THRU: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
FROM: Jonathan Curth, Senior Planner
DATE: October 14, 2016
SUBJECT: RZN 16-5594: Rezone (15 S. WEST AVE./KOLBERG, 523): Submitted by
MARK KOLBERG for property at 15 S. WEST AVE. The property is zoned
NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION and contains approximately
0.37 acres. The request is to rezone the property to MSC, MAIN
STREET/CENTER.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Planning staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone the subject properties to
MSC, Main Street/Center, as requested by the applicant and as shown in the attached Exhibits
'A' and `B'.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes approximately 0.37 acres located on the west side of West Avenue,
between Center and Mountain Streets. The property is zoned NC, Neighborhood Conservation,
and represents a portion of Block 22 of the original Fayetteville town plat. There is currently one
single-family dwelling on site, built in 1885 and served by a paved driveway off of West Avenue.
To the south of the property is City of Fayetteville right-of-way that includes pedestrian and bicycle
access from West Avenue to the Frisco Trail. Although no portion of this property is identified as
Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District, the terrain beginning at West Avenue descends rapidly,
decreasing by approximately 30 feet from east to the west.
The subject property is within the Downtown Master Plan Boundary. This document was adopted
in 2004 and included the recommendation that a series of new zoning districts be created to both
preserve those characteristics that participants in the planning process deemed desirable, and to
facilitate new development with appropriate physical context. The resulting zoning districts were
subsequently developed and modified with public input before ultimately being put in place. The
current NC zoning of the subject property is the result of this process and replaced the existing
R-O, Residential Office zoning.
Request: The request is to rezone the subject properties from NC, Neighborhood Conservation
to MSC, Main Street/Center. The applicant indicated the rezoning is needed to enhance
development opportunities.
Land Use Compatibility: A rezoning to MSC will allow for residential and commercial development
that is generally comparable to other housing and businesses in the vicinity. While the MSC
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
zoning district allows for commercial activities of greater intensity than would generally be
appropriate at this location, the size and terrain of the property can limit the scale of any new
development.
On the other hand, the Fayetteville Downtown Master Plan and its associated rezoning were
deliberately enacted to preserve pockets of single-family housing that have existed for decades,
and in some cases over a century. In addition to the Mount Nord area adjacent to Lafayette Street,
the block of single-family homes that range southward from the subject property along West
Avenue were deliberately zoned NC, Neighborhood Conservation. A rezoning to MSC comes with
no density requirements, no side setbacks, and a higher building height maximum than the
requirements in an NC district. Coupled with multi -family dwellings and numerous commercial
uses being permitted in the DG zoning district, the requested rezoning has the potential to
dramatically change the character of this portion of downtown.
There are numerous properties in close proximity to the subject address that are not single-family
in use or appearance. While to the north and west there are single-family homes, to the east there
is a jewelry business operating out of a residential structure. Along Mountain Street further to the
east is the Fayetteville Public Library and KUAF radio station. Other uses in the area vary,
including many residential structures that have been modified to house multiple tenants or
businesses. Given the variety of surrounding land uses, staff finds the MSC zoning would be
compatible.
Land Use Plan Analysis: As noted, the Downtown Master Plan led to the subject property's current
zoning and was approved by City Council with the support of many Downtown residents. The
Neighborhood Conservation zoning seeks to preserve the existing single-family housing stock in
pockets of the downtown area.
At the same time, the Downtown Master Plan identifies the goal of pursuing redevelopment
opportunities along West Avenue. Classified in the Plan as a "signature connection" in downtown,
West Avenue is called -out as important to the area's pedestrian network with redevelopment
needed to fully leverage amenities like the Frisco Trail and the library. The Plan goes even further
by outlining an implementation strategy that involves a policy to "target properties along West
Avenue for infill development." Rezoning the subject property to the proposed Main Street/Center
district can support this goal by allowing for increased housing opportunities through
redevelopment to a greater density or, alternatively, permitting a greater spectrum of retail and
service uses that can serve the neighborhood or greater downtown.
While the goals of infill redevelopment and preservation may often seem at odds, in this instance
they are complementary. Just as the Neighborhood Conservation zoning district was adopted to
preserve the single-family nature of particular areas, so to can the Main Street/Center zoning
district preserve the character of the Fayetteville downtown. Both are designed with build -to -zones
that complement the area's historic growth pattern. Development under either zoning is subject
to the Downtown Design Overlay District's architectural standards. The proposed zoning is
consistent with the overall goals and policies of the Downtown Master Plan.
DISCUSSION:
On October 10, 2016 the Planning Commission forwarded the applicant's request for a rezoning
to MSC, Main Street/Center. A motion by Commissioner Selby to forward the proposal to the City
Council with a recommendation for approval was made with a vote of 7-1-0, with Commissioner
Brown dissenting.

SUBJECT: RZN 16-5594: Rezone (15 S. WEST AVE./KOLBERG, 523): Submitted by
MARK KOLBERG for property at 15 S. WEST AVE. The property is zoned
NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION and contains approximately
0.37 acres. The request is to rezone the property to MSC, MAIN STREET/
CENTER.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding of RZN 16-5594 to the City Council with a recommendation for
approval based upon the findings herein.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes approximately 0.37 acres located on the west side of West Avenue,
between Center and Mountain Streets. The property is zoned NC, Neighborhood Conservation,
and represents a portion of Block 22 of the original Fayetteville town plat. There is currently one
single-family dwelling on site, built in 1885 and served by a paved driveway off of West Avenue.
To the south of the property is City of Fayetteville right-of-way that includes pedestrian and bicycle

Request: The request is to rezone the subject properties from NC, Neighborhood Conservation
to MSC, Main Street/Center. The applicant indicated the rezoning is needed to enhance
development opportunities.
Public Comment: Staff has received public comment from neighboring property owners that are
both opposed and concerned with the requested rezoning. They have cited the appropriately
contextual character of the existing structure, along with the investment made in their property
and the adverse effects that may result from reduced setbacks and increasing the density on the
subject property to the levels permitted under the Main Street/Center zoning district. As evidence,
one property owner notes other housing in the area that has resulted in suspected non -compliant
occupation levels and non -compliant parking on lawns and sidewalks.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject parcel has access to West Avenue, a two-lane city street with
existing poor -condition sidewalks at the back of curb. Any street improvements
would be determined at time of development.
Water: Public water is available to the site. There is an existing 4-inch water along the
parcel frontage of West Avenue.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the site. There is an existing 8-inch sewer main in
the West Avenue right-of-way on the uphill side of this parcel.
Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage would be determined
at time of development. No portion of this parcel lies within the FEMA designated
100-yr floodplain. No protected streams are present on these parcels. No portion
of this parcel lies within the HHOD, however slopes greater than 15% exist on
much of this parcel which would require a residential grading permit to
accompany any residential building permits.
Fire: The Fire Department did not express any concerns with this request.
Police: The Police Department did not express any concerns with this request.
CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Map designates
the properties as part of a Complete Neighborhood Plan Area associated with the Fayetteville
Downtown Master Plan.
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: In staff's opinion, the requested rezoning is generally consistent and
compatible with both current land use and City land use plans.
Land Use Compatibility: A rezoning to MSC will allow for residential and
commercial development that is generally comparable to other housing and
businesses in the vicinity. Furthermore, while the MSC zoning district allows
for commercial activities of greater intensity than would generally be
G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2016\Development Review\16-5594 RZN 15 S. West Ave. (Kolberg) 523\03 Planning
Commission\10-10-2016
appropriate at this location, the size and terrain of the property can limit the
scale of any new development.
On the other hand, the Fayetteville Downtown Master Plan and its associated
rezoning were deliberately enacted to preserve pockets of single-family
housing that have existed for decades, and in some cases over a century. In
addition to the Mount Nord area along Lafayette Street, the block of single-
family homes that range southward from the subject property along West
Avenue were deliberately zoned NC, Neighborhood Conservation. The
Illustrative Master Plan (attached) indicated preservation of the property for
a single-family dwelling. A rezoning to MSC comes with no density
requirements, no side setbacks, and a higher building height maximum than
the requirements in an NC district. Coupled with multi -family dwellings and
numerous commercial uses being permitted in the DG zoning district, the
requested rezoning has the potential to dramatically change the character of
this portion of downtown.
There are numerous properties in close proximity to the subject address that
are not single-family in use or appearance. To the north and west there are
single-family homes, and to the east is a jewelry business operating out of a
residential structure. Along Mountain Street to the east is the Fayetteville
Public Library and KUAF radio station. Other uses in the area vary, including
many residential structures that have been modified to house multiple
tenants or businesses. Given the variety of surrounding land uses, staff
finds the MSC zoning would be compatible.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The Downtown Master Plan led to the current
zoning that was approved by City Council with the support of many
Downtown residents. This zoning seeks to preserve the existing single-
family housing stock in pockets of the downtown area. The Neighborhood
Conservation zoning currently applied to the subject property and those
south of it are evidence of that objective.
The Downtown Master Plan also identified the goal of pursuing
redevelopment opportunities along West Avenue. Classified in the Plan as a
"signature connection" in downtown, West Avenue is called -out as
important to the area's pedestrian network with redevelopment needed to
fully leverage amenities like the Frisco Trail and the library. The Plan goes
even further by outlining an implementation strategy that involves a policy
to "target properties along West Avenue for infill development." Rezoning
the subject property to the proposed Main Street/Center district can support
this goal by allowing for increased housing opportunities through
redevelopment to a greater density or, alternatively, permitting a greater
spectrum of retail and service uses that can serve the neighborhood or
greater downtown.
While the goals of infill redevelopment and preservation may often seem at
odds, in this instance they are complementary. Just as the Neighborhood
Conservation zoning district was adopted to preserve the single-family
nature of particular areas, so to can the Main Street/Center zoning district
preserve the character of the Fayetteville downtown. Both are designed with
GAETC\Development Services Review\2016\Development Review\16-5594 RZN 15 S. West Ave. (Kolberg) 523\03 Planning
Commission\10-10-2016
build -to -zones that complement the area's historic growth pattern.
Development under either zoning is subject to the Downtown Design Overlay
District's architectural standards. The proposed zoning is consistent with
the overall goals and policies of the Downtown Master Plan.
A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Based on the applicants' submittal, the rezoning is justified and needed to
enhance the development opportunities for the subject property. The
existing Neighborhood Conservation zoning only permits development of
the property to single-family dwellings, accessory dwellings, and City-wide
uses by right. All other uses allowed in the district, including but not limited
to 2- and 3-family dwellings, offices, and limited businesses are only
permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit. The applicant feels
that a rezoning to Main Street/Center will positively address the goals of City
Plan 2030.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The subject property has access to West Avenue, which was classified
during the Downtown Master Plan process as ST 45. This classification
includes two lanes for traffic movement and one for on -street parking in
addition to tree wells and sidewalks. Given this, a rezoning of the property
to Main Street/Center, with its lack of density requirements, has the potential
to increase traffic in this area as the site develops. However, given the small
size of the property, any increase in vehicular trips in the area will likely not
appreciably increase traffic danger or congestion.
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: The overall size of the property will limit the density of future development,
thereby also limiting undesirable increases of the burden on schools or City
services.
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:
It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted
under its existing zoning classifications;
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.

161.25 - Main Street/Center
(A) Purpose. A greater range of uses is expected and encouraged in the Main Street/Center. The Center is more
spatially compact and is more likely to have some attached buildings than Downtown General or Neighborhood
Conservation. Multi -story buildings in the Center are well -suited to accommodate a mix of uses, such as
apartments or offices above shops. Lofts, live/work units, and buildings designed for changing uses over time are
appropriate for the Main Street/Center. The Center is within walking distance of the surrounding, primarily

Request Letter
a. The property is currently owned by the Billy Wayne and Lena Sue Batson
Revocable Trust. The property has a pending sale to Doug Kolberg.
b. The zone change is being requested to enhance the development
opportunities in the future.
c. The proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding properties. The
properties to the north and east are already zoned MSC. The properties south
and west are still single family residential NC, but when time comes for their
development, they will likely change to MSC also. Other nearby properties are
also MSC. This relatively small tract has an existing residence in need of
structural and -cosmetic repairs that may not be economically feasible. Any
future land use will improve the property in appearance, and any change in
traffic or signage would be insignificant.
d. There is an existing 4" water line on West Street. There is an existing 8"
sewer line on West Street.
e. The MSC zone change is complementary with the existing MSC existing
zoning north and east and with other MSC zoned properties in the immediate
area. The change to MSC also addresses the City planning objectives,
principles, and policies for increased housing density and infill development
in a positive manner.
f. The MSC zone change is justified as it positively addresses the goals of the
long term comprehensive plan.
g. The MSC zone change will not create or appreciably increase traffic danger
and congestion.
h. This relatively small tract will not alter the population density and will not
increase the load on public services including schools, water, and sewage
facilities.
i, It is impractical to use the land under it's existing zoning classification NC
because this zone stresses single family residential development and does
not support the City goal for infill development with increased housing
density.

Dean- Commissioners,
We wonder ifit is a good idea to change the zoning at 15 S. West Avenue in
I�ayettcvillc from Neighborhood Conservation to Main StreeUCenter (I ZN 16-5594).
The )ionic that has been at 15'S. West Avenue for decades vas designed for the
site, is architecturally interesting, and contributes in a positive way to the neighborhood.
'rhe changes allowed by Main Street/Center could encourage development that detracts
from the character ofthe neighborhood. As a home owner one block north of the site
under consideration., we prefer that a developer be required to request a variance for
chanOes not allowed by Neighborhood Conservation so that we fill might judge whether a
plan is compatible with the rest of the neighborhood.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Illustrative Fayetteville Downtown Master Plan
