row of hedging. A minimum 50% of shrubs shall be evergreen.
(b)Shrub size at the time of planting shall be a minimum of 3 -gallon

During a previous change to Chapter 177.04 D which addressed allowances for urban zoning
district, the last two code requirements were left off when the changes were recorded in code.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
DATE: February 24, 2016
SUBJECT: ADM 16-5319 Administrative Item (UDC CHAPTERS 166,172,177
AMENDMENTS): Submitted by ALDERMAN MATTHEW PETTY AND
CITY STAFF for an ordinance to amend UDC Chapters 166.24, Non-
residential Design Standards, 172.0.4, Parking Lot Design Standards, and
various sections within Chapter 177, Landscape Regulations of the
Fayetteville City Code to allow developments to build pedestrian -oriented
frontages in certain , circumstances, to clarify street tree planting
requirements, and to clarify the parking lot design standards in urban
zoning districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval to amend UDC Sections 166.24,
172.04 and various sections within Chapter 177.
BACKGROUND:
Alderman Matthew Petty recently discussed with City staff a desire to clarify the street tree and
greenspace requirement for urban projects in the Fayetteville Unified Development Code (UDC).
After an internal meeting with Urban Forestry and City Planning Division staff it was determined
that in addition to Alderman Petty's requested code change, there were several additional related
minor code changes that would be necessary, or were simply needed for clarification. The general
intent of this proposed UDC amendment is to clarify the greenspace and street tree requirements,
to clarify the parking lot design standards and pedestrian oriented elements in urban zoning
districts. The proposed code changes are shown in strikeout -highlight in the attached document.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed code changes provide necessary clarification to the landscape chapter and related
non-residential design standards of the UDC. These changes make for a more predictable
interpretation of development code consistent with the City's goals and policies for landscaping
and urban design.

(A) Applicability. All new developments that create or develop along a public or private street shall be required to

Requirements.
(2) Street Tree Planting Requirements
(a) Street trees are intended to be planted in a greenspace strip between the curb and sidewalk or in urban
tree wells in accordance with the Master Street Plan. The intent of the street tree planting location is to
shade the sidewalk, provide a barrier between vehicles on the street and pedestrians, increase
motorized traffic and pedestrian safety, and spatially frame the street. Existing trees within the build -to -
zone shall be counted towards the required number of street trees. When there is not adequate
greenspace between the curb and sidewalk and urban tree wells are not appropriate, or there are
utilities or other structural conflicts in the greenspace strip between the curb and sidewalk, the Urban
Forester may permit street trees in greenspace behind the sidewalk and on private property.
(b) Plans shall indicate the spacing of trees along all newly created public and private streets within the
development site. At the request of the developer, the Urban Forester may exempt specific areas from
required tree planting where the terrain or existing trees make the planting of new trees impracticable.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
(i) Where the finish grade slope in the planting area between the top back of the street curb and the
property line is in excess of thirty (30%) percent.
(ii) Where bedrock is encountered with in thirty (30) inches of finish grade in the planting area between
the top back of the curb and the property line.
(iii) Where existing healthy trees that are shown to be preserved within the right-of-way are in such
close proximity they would prevent a new tree from establishing a full canopy when mature.
(3) Optional Street Tree Planting Plan for Urban Streetscapes.
The Street Tree Planting Plans for developments in Urban Zoning Districts may utilize an urban streetscape
including sidewalks at least eight feet wide from curb to building. At the time of developmental submittal, the
proposed urban streetscape shall include a street tree planting plan in compliance with the following
requirements:
(a) A minimum of one (1) two-inch caliper, large species tree per 30 linear feet of street frontage or every
10 parking spaces, whichever provides the most trees, shall be planted with this option.
(b) Location of trees shall be approved by the Urban Forester to ensure that adequate spacing, access and
visibility are maintained. The spacing of trees may be varied with approval of the Urban Forester.
(c) Trees shall be planted within urban tree wells. The minimum width of an urban tree well shall be three
feet (3'); the minimum area shall be 15 square feet. This option is only permitted to allow trees planted
within wide sidewalks, in a downtown/urban fashion. Size and shape of urban tree well shall be
approved by the Urban Forester.
(d) Tree wells shall be covered with either a tree grate or some form of permeable pavers, (block or stone),
to be approved by the Urban Forester.
(e) Structural soil or similar treatment shall be utilized with this option (see Landscape Manual for
specifications)
(f) Street tree planting plans utilizing this option shall follow the construction procedures and details as
outlined in the Landscape Manual.
(g) Development applications approved for the use of Urban Tree Wells shall not be required to provide
additional perimeter landscaped area between the Master Street Plan right-of-way and building, as

S
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
MEETING DATE: February 22, 2016 CUpdated with Plannigq Commission results
SUBJECT: ADM 16-5319 Administrative Item (UDC CHAPTERS 166,172,177
AMENDMENTS): Submitted by ALDERMAN MATTHEW PETTY AND
CITY STAFF for an ordinance to amend UDC Chapters 166.24, Non-
residential Design Standards, 172.04, Parking Lot Design Standards, and
various sections within Chapter 177, Landscape Regulations of the
Fayetteville City Code to allow developments to build pedestrian -oriented
frontages in certain circumstances, to clarify street tree planting
requirements, and to clarify the parking lot design standards in urban
zoning districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward ADM 16-5319 to the City Council with
a recommendation for approval.
BACKGROUND:
February 8, 2096 Pianning Commission. This item was discussed and tabled at the February 8,
2016 Planning Commission meeting to allow the commission more time to understand and
consider the proposal.
Alderman Matthew Petty recently discussed with City staff a desire to clarify the street tree and
greenspace requirement for urban projects in the Fayetteville Unified Development Code (UDC).
After an internal meeting with Urban Forestry and City Planning Division staff it was determined
that in addition to Alderman Petty's requested code change, there were several additional related
minor code changes that would be necessary, orwere simply needed for clarification. The general
intent of this proposed UDC amendment is to clarify the greenspace and street tree requirements,
to clarify the parking lot design standards and pedestrian oriented elements in urban zoning
districts. The proposed code changes are shown in strikeout -highlight in the attached document.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed code changes provide necessary clarification to the landscape chapter and related
non-residential design standards of the UDC. These changes make for a more predictable
interpretation of development code consistent with the City's goals and policies for landscaping
and urban design.
Staff recommends that ADM 96-5399 be forwarded to City Council with a recommendation
for approval.
