THRU: Garner Stoll, Development Services Director
FROM: Quin Thompson, Planner
DATE: July 13, 2018
SUBJECT: RZN 18-6254: Rezone (PARKDALE AND CENTER ADDITIONS REZONE, 600):
Submitted by CITY STAFF and PLANNING COMMISSION on behalf of
NUMEROUS PROPERTY OWNERS in the PARKSDALE AND CENTER
ADDITION NEIGHBORHOOD, SOUTH OF 15TH STREET BETWEEN BROOKS
AVENUE AND DUNCAN AVENUE. The properties are zoned RMF -24,
RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY 24 UNITS PER ACRE, and contain approximately
23 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to NC, NEIGHBORHOOD
CONSERVATION; RI -12, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE 12 UNITS PER ACRE,
AND; NS -G, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES -GENERAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the requested rezoning as depicted
in Exhibit'A'.
BACKGROUND:
The Parksdale Neighborhood is located on the south side of 15' Street, southeast of Pinnacle
Foods. The dwellings in this neighborhood were developed between the 1920's -1960's and are
primarily small, one-story residences (see neighborhood photos on the Parksdale website).
Greathouse Springs Park and the Town Branch Trail provide direct linkages into the southern
portion of this neighborhood. This neighborhood is in the northeastern portion of the greater
Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan Area that was adopted by City Council in 2009. The plan
shows conservation pf the existing fabric in Parksdale with infill by small buildings in vacant lots.
Higher density housing is shown on vacant land adjacent to the east of Parksdale, around the
former Fayette Junction rail yard, and south of 18th Street.
Over the past year staff has had numerous meetings with property owners in the neighborhood
who are concerned with the future character of their neighborhood. During these meetings, the
property owners became aware that the neighborhood is zoned RMF -24, Residential Multi -family
24 units per acre. This zoning allows development of large duplexes (see photo on the Parksdale
website) and multi -family buildings that are out of scale with the small one-story residences.
Residents are concerned that the existing zoning allows significant change to the historic
character and affordable nature of the neighborhood.

113 W. Mountain Street wiww.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
At the May 29, 2018 Planning Commission Meeting, representatives of the Parksdale and Center
Addition Neighborhoods requested that their comprehensive neighborhood rezoning study
already begun by the Planning Department and submitted to the Planning Commission be further
analyzed and presented again to the Planning Commission at a later meeting pursuant to § 166.17
Suspending Issuance of Permits Pending Zoning Amendments of the U.D.C. On June 25, 2018,
City Planning Staff presented a comprehensive neighborhood rezoning request as approved by
the neighbors in Parksdale and Center Addition neighborhoods to the Planning Commission.
After the Planning Commission considered making substantial changes to the comprehensive
neighborhood rezoning plan, the neighbors sought and received a tabling on the plan for further
consideration at the next meeting.
On July 9, 2018, the residents of Parksdale and Center Addition neighborhoods voiced strong
support for their original comprehensive rezoning plan and opposed the changes the Planning
Commission had been considering. The Planning Commission then voted to recommend the
neighbors' original neighborhood rezoning plan for approval to the City Council. The Planning
Department also recommended approval of the Parksdale and Center Addition neighborhoods'
proposed overlay district and proposed adding a third general requirement.
Request: The request is for a mixture of NS -G, RI -12 and NC zoning districts, and a design overlay
district limiting the height of the RI -12 and NC zones to buildings with a maximum height of two
stories and that new building placement respect the setback of buildings on adjacent lots. The
purpose of the rezoning and design overlay district is to better align the zoning with the character
of the neighborhood, which is composed almost entirely of small, single-family dwellings. The
rezoning would mitigate further development of out -of -scale attached housing and building
placement that could negatively affect the affordability and character of the neighborhood. The
Parksdale Design Overlay District is being presented in tandem with this rezoning as a separate
item on the council's agenda.
Public Comment: Planning staff have held public meetings in the neighborhood on two occasions.
These meetings have generated a large amount of public comment, with the plurality of comments
generally supporting a neighborhood wide rezoning to better reflect the character of small,
residential dwellings. During two subsequent Planning Commission meetings, staff and the
commission received numerous comments from property owners in support of the rezoning and
design overlay district. There are two -three property owners that have expressed opposition.
Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning and overlay district is compatible with existing
development patterns in the neighborhood and surrounding area. The proposal allows a variety
of land uses, with areas intended primarily for single-family use in the central portion of the
neighborhood being rezoned to NC. The east and west outside tier of lots and the northern tier of
lots south of 15th Street are proposed to be rezoned to RI -12, providing a stepdown from the
adjacent multi -family zoning to the east recently approved for a new multi -family development,
the RV park to the west, and the busy 15`h Street corridor. RI -12 allows one, two-, three -and four -
family dwellings. A corridor along 15th Street is proposed for NS -G allowing residential or
commercial development. This district provides opportunities for studio, office, and business uses
at a scale intended to serve the neighborhood.
Keys to compatibility with the existing development pattern in this neighborhood are lot size,
building size, and occupancy limits. The current zoning allows buildings that are much larger and
closer to the street than surrounding residences. Additionally, the RMF -24 zoning allows up to
four unrelated persons to reside in a single dwelling. The proposed zoning with the design overlay
district addresses all of these issues in varying fashion.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning with overlay district is consistent with the Fayette
Junction Master Plan, which illustrates conservation of the existing fabric in Parksdale with infill
by small buildings in vacant lots. The current zoning allows large apartment buildings which is not
consistent with the plan that identified higher density areas elsewhere in Fayette Junction.
DISCUSSION:
At the July 9, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, this item was forwarded with a
recommendation for approval by a vote of 8-1-0, with Commissioner Hoffman voting `no'. As
stated early in this memo, there was a large volume of discussion at two neighborhood meetings
and two planning commission meetings which resulted in almost unanimous support for the
current proposal.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to forward RZN 18-6254 to the City Council with a
recommendation for approval of Alternative (1 or 2)."
BACKGROUND:
The Parksdale Neighborhood is located on the south side of 15th Street, southeast of Pinnacle
Foods. The dwellings in this neighborhood were developed between the 1920's -1960's and are

residences. Residents are concerned that the existing zoning allows significant change to the
historic character and affordable nature of the neighborhood.
On May 29, 2018, the Planning Commission initiated a neighborhood wide rezone to more
closely align land -use with the existing development pattern while supporting the Fayette
Junction Master Plan.
On June 29, 2018, Planning Staff proposed a rezone exhibit, attached as Alternative 1.
Following discussion, Planning Commission tabled the item, proposing that staff arrange the
zones as shown in the attached Alternative 2. The City Attorney's office confirmed that including
additional restrictions and/or allowances under a design overlay district would be legal, which
was a topic of discussion on June 29rn

Public Comment: Planning staff have held public meetings in the neighborhood on two occasions.
These meetings have generated a large amount of public comment, with the plurality of comments
generally supporting a neighborhood wide rezoning to better reflect the character of small,
residential dwellings. Staff has received formal comments from three property owners, two of
whom fully supporting the rezone and one expressing opposition to the request.
Staff has had no further comment, Public comment received at the May 29 meeting is recorded
in the official minutes.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject parcels have access to West 15th Street, South Brooks Avenue,
West Walker Street, South Price Avenue, South Garland Avenue, West Boone
Street, South Stirman Avenue, and South Duncan Avenue. These streets are
largely unimproved without sidewalk, curb/gutter, or storm drainage. Any street
improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of
development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the site. A series of public water mains and fire
hydrants service along all streets within the proposed rezoning boundary.

Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the site. A series of public sewer mains and
manholes service along all streets within the proposed rezoning boundary.
Drainage: Several properties along the southern extend of this rezoning area contain FEMA
regulated floodways and floodplains. No part of the parcel lies within the HHOD.
Town Branch creek is a protected stream and borders the southern edge of this
rezoning request. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will
be determined at time of development.
Fire: The Fire Department did not express concerns with this request.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request.
CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: The City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Map
designates the properties as part of a Complete Neighborhood Plan area associated with the
Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan. The Executive Summary and Illustrative Plan are attached
to this staff report which indicate infill development with single-family homes should be the norm
in this isolated part of the study area. As discussed earlier in this report, increased density and
multi -family residential infill is recommended east of Parksdale, around the Fayette Junction rail
yard, and on the south side of 18" Street.
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: Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning and overlay district is
compatible with existing development patterns in the neighborhood and
environs. The proposal allows a variety of land uses, with areas intended
primarily for single-family use, areas that allow one, two-, three-, and four -
family dwellings, and a strip along 15" Street that could be used for
residential or commercial development, providing opportunities for studio,
office, and business uses at a scale intended to serve the neighborhood.
Some keys to compatibility with the existing development pattern in this
neighborhood are lot size, building size, and occupancy limits. The current
zoning allows buildings that are incompatible with surrounding residences.
Additionally, the RMF -24 zoning allows up to four unrelated persons to
reside in a single dwelling. The NC zone reduces that number to three
unrelated persons, which reduces impacts including noise, traffic and
parking congestion.
Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning with overlay district is
compatible with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and consistent with the
Fayette Junction Master Plan, which encourages a core of `Clean -tech'
businesses and higher density residential within a Transit Oriented
Development, while the outer edges of the study area were imagined as
being infilled with residential at a scale consistent with the existing
neighborhoods. The proposed zoning would allow re -development of the
subject lots with options for accessory dwelling units, single-family, two-
family, and four -family units in the residential portions, while those parcels

along 15t' street would allow potential for multi -family as well as limited
commercial uses, all within a form -based zoning districts that encourage
walkability and provide flexibility for construction of dwellings in a variety of
sizes and costs.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff proposes zoning the area in an effort to preserve the distinct character
of this neighborhood during a period of intense development pressure that
has seen similar neighborhoods rapidly redeveloping with increased
intensity of use and large, often out -of -scale buildings. Staff finds the
request justified in that it meets goals of the Neighborhood Master Plan and
can help to maintain a development pattern compatible with existing
properties rather than encouraging demolition of existing affordable homes.
Staff believes that the proposal, including the two-story height limit,
supports both resident and Neighborhood Plan goals more effectively than
the existing zoning. A mix of NC, RI -12, and NS -G would allow increased
density in the neighborhood, while guiding that infill development into
appropriate patterns of scale and height, and lot size.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed zoning is not expected to appreciably increase potential traffic
danger or congestion in the area over and above that currently allowed under
the RMF -24 zoning district, rather the proposal would reduce allowable
density in the neighborhood.
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 proposed zoning would result in lower density of population than is
allowed by the current zoning district, however no undesirable load on
public services is currently anticipated under either zoning. The NC zone
allows a maximum density of 10 units per acre, the RI -12 zone allows 12 units
per acre, and the NS -G zone does not contain specific density limits, while
the RMF -24 zone allows 24 units per acre. The Police and Fire Departments
have not expressed concerns about the proposed zoning district.
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.

Re: Rezone Request of the Parksdale and Center Addition Neighborhood
Dear Planning Commission:
As initiated by the Commission at your May 29, 2018 meeting, and on behalf of numerous Parksdale
property owners, please accept this letter as a request to rezone the Parksdale and Center Addition
neighborhood (Parksdale).
Background: The Parksdale Neighborhood is located on the south side of 15th Street, southeast of
the Pinnacle Foods factory and between Brooks Avenue and Duncan Avenue. The homes in this
neighborhood were developed between the 1920's -1960's and are primarily small, one-story
residences (see neighborhood photos). Greathouse Park and the Razorback Greenway provide direct
linkages into the southern portion of this neighborhood. This neighborhood is in the northeastern
portion of the greater Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan Area that was adopted by City Council in
2009. The Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan shows preservation of the existing building footprints
and platted subdivision pattern for Parksdale.
Over the past year staff has had numerous meetings with property owners in the neighborhood who
are concerned with development pressure of large, out of scale buildings. During these meetings, the
property owners became aware that the neighborhood is zoned RMF -24, Residential Multi -family 24
units per acre. This zoning allows development of multi -family buildings and large duplexes (see photo)
that are out of scale with the small one-story residences. Residents are concerned that the existing
zoning allows significant change to the historic character and affordable nature of the neighborhood.
In early 2018, approximately 36 property owners in Parksdale submitted applications to downzone
their property from RMF -24 to NC, Neighborhood Conservation. After submission of the rezoning
application, staff requested and the applicants agreed to delay their public hearing so staff could
conduct full neighborhood meetings. On March 20, 2018 and April 2, 2018 staff conducted
neighborhood meetings at Christ's Church on 15th Street. Both meetings were very well attended with
dozens of property owners and residents along with elected and appointed officials. Staff primarily
heard from the residents and presented alternatives for consideration.
Staff incorporated feedback from neighborhood residents and property owners and prepared
conceptual elements for a mini -neighborhood plan. The plan contains recommendations for public
infrastructure improvements (see Brooks/Garland Avenue Street Improvements sketch and build -out
images), and is primarily a rezoning and design overlay district plan.

The property owners' rezoning application was discussed and forwarded to the City Council with a
recommendation for approval at the May 29, 2018 Planning Commission meeting. Additionally,
because of the large amount of public input and current zoning incompatibility, the Planning
Commission initiated a neighborhood -wide rezoning along with a design overlay district. The zoning
and overlay district plan for the neighborhood is shown in the attached exhibit and proposed as follows:
Proposed Rezoning and Design Overlay District:
• Central area: Rezone the central portion of the neighborhood to NC, Neighborhood
Conservation. The stated purpose of the NC district in UDC §161.29 is, "...to promote and
protect neighborhood character." The Parksdale pattern language of small homes developed
in the 1920's -1960's on small lots, aligns with the lot size and uses allowed in the NC district,
and will serve to promote and protect the character of the neighborhood;
• East, west and north boundary transition_; Rezone the east and west outside single tier of lots
and the northern tier of lots south of 15th Street to RI -12, Residential Intermediate, Twelve
Units Per Acre. This district encompasses the six existing two-family dwellings on the west
side of Brooks/Garland Avenue and allows appropriate infill and redevelopment that respects
the existing home and lot size. This district provides transition to the adjacent RV park to the
west, multi -family zoning to the east currently under development review for 69 apartments,
and the 15th Street corridor to the north;
• North 15th St. Corridor: Rezone the 15th Street corridor to NS -G, Neighborhood Services
General to allow potential for neighborhood commercial services and small attached housing;
and
• Maximum 2-stor hei ht: Design overlay district for a maximum height of 2 stories in the NC
and RI -12 portions of the neighborhood.
The purpose of the rezoning and maximum 2 -story height is to better align the underlying zoning with
the character of the neighborhood. The rezoning would mitigate development of large out -of -scale
two-family and multi -family structures that are incompatible and could negatively affect the affordability
and character of the neighborhood.
The proposal implements the primary Goals of City Plan 2030 and the adopted neighborhood plan for
the area. Goal 1 states that "We will make appropriate infill and revitalization our highest priorities."
This goal discusses that the City should "...promote appropriate development that reflects the existing
community character of Fayetteville's neighborhoods." Additionally, Policy 1.f under this goal
discusses that preservation of the character of existing neighborhoods is an effective tool for economic
development and revitalization, achieving urban sustainability through reducing waste and emissions.
This rezoning will encourage preservation of the existing, affordable housing stock in this
neighborhood, while allowing incremental urbanism and infill on parcels that are vacant or
underutilized. The proposal would help ensure that new development is scaled to respect the existing
lot pattern and building size.
Finally, the proposal carries out the Fayette Junction Neighborhood Plan adopted by City Council in
2009. This plan shows areas of high density redevelopment for multi -family housing, but not in
Parksdale. The plan shows the existing building footprints in this neighborhood being preserved and
the platted subdivision pattern remaining, which will be facilitated by this proposal. Thank you for your
time and consideration of this request.
