Jody Verser, Modus Studio gave a brief PowerPoint presentation of the proposed rezoning. Council Member Turk: How many people do you envision having at your music venue? Jason Bigby, Family Representative: We are laying out different maps of different uses from food festivals to beer festivals. It's hard for us to say how many people are going to be allowed until the Fire Marshal does an assessment with the occupancy certificate. Council Member Turk: What number are you requesting that the Fire Marshal review? Jason Bigby: It depends on what the fire code will do. Fire Chief, David Dayringer: For indoors, there is a formula they go by. It's a certain number of feet if there is fixed seating. If it is all movable seating, it's a different number. I can't recall what those numbers are. I will have to ask the Fire Marshall what the formula is for outdoor. There has to be two ways to exit and the means of egress that's protected. Council Member Turk: Would you allow the bathrooms to be open and water accessible at all times or only during your events? 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar.gov City Council Meeting Minutes May 21, 2019 Page 5 of 13 Jody Verser: I can't speak to 24/7, but the goal is to have them accessible to the trail users. I don't know if that means after hours, but certainly during the high traffic times. Council Member Turk: I heard one complaint from a nearby property owner during your March Prairie Street event. They claim they weren't notified of the event. Reaching out to the property owners around there would be a good idea. When you have events where you don't have permanent structures where the bathrooms are located is a complaint I heard. Garner Stoll: Our ordinance anticipates live music impacts. Under the conditional use permit for that use, it does require a 500 -foot notification of surrounding properties. It is not just the adjacent properties, but a 500 -foot circle around that parcel. Colt Galloway, 225 South Church Avenue spoke in favor of the ordinance. Ed Levi, 301 South West Avenue spoke about noise concerns. Steve Clark, Chamber of Commerce President spoke in favor of the ordinance. Council Member Scroggin stated he doesn't like it when government lets one group do something and then another group isn't allowed because the first group didn't do so well. He stated they need to look at conditional use permits and live music so that more businesses can do this. Council Member Kinion stated he knows they will be looking at noise complaints. He stated they have to preserve the neighborhood the best that they can for the people who live there. He spoke about parking concerns. He stated bicycles are not an option for some people. He stated he's supporting the rezoning because that area of town is dynamic and is in the area of where they want to have a destination for the arts. He stated when you look at the future and the opportunities it will offer, it will lead to good things. Council Member Turk: I like the idea of having a music venue and that it is close to the trails. As part of the conditional use permit, is there a set number of parking places required? Garner Stoll: The ordinance requires a site plan that shows where the buildings and parking are located. We have suggested that we ask for a parking plan. We've suggested that the applicant is free to seek agreements with surrounding parking that's already available within easy walking distance. There are a lot of opportunities in the neighborhood. Council Member Turk: If they were to provide a parking plan, would you ask to see leases or agreements? Garner Stoll: Yes. That could be part of their proposal, which would strengthen their proposal in the parking issue. It isn't as if the Planning Commission would have to require that. It is a discretionary process and the ordinance doesn't require it. It could be made a part of the requirements of the conditional use permit to reduce the impact on the area. Council Member Turk: Do we have a maximum decibel level for noise? 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes May 21, 2019 Page 6 of 13 Garner Stoll: Yes, it is 75 decibels. The conditional use permit says the ordinance states that violations of the decibel level of sound can be a reason for revoking the permit. The ordinance is very well drafted. Council Member Gutierrez thanked Ed Levi for speaking about his noise concerns. She encouraged Mr. Levi to speak to his neighbors about what would be ideal for them. She requested for Garner Stoll to speak about the process of public input on the potential conditional use permit if the ordinance passes. Garner Stoll: The Planning Commission public hearing, which the 500 -foot property owners will receive notification. Council Member Gutierrez stated she did not know if Mr. Levi was in the 500 -foot range, but encouraged him to talk to his neighbors. She spoke about it being an exciting project. She encouraged the applicant to find more collaboration partners for the parking that are closer. She stated she wants to support the item for the Cultural Arts District because it's good for the creative economy. Council Member Bunch stated she is in support of the rezoning. She stated it could be a place for a lot of people to come and listen to music. She stated any problems that are had with parking or decibel levels can be tweaked later. Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed 7-0. Council Members Gutierrez, Marsh, Kinion, Scroggin, Bunch, Turk, and Smith voting yes. Council Member Petty recused. Ordinance 6184 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk Polystyrene Foam Products: An ordinance to prohibit the purchase of expanded polystyrene foam with City of Fayetteville monies, to end the use of expanded polystyrene foam products by city concessionaires and food trucks in city parks and city off-street parking lots and to raise public awareness of the ecological damages caused by this product. This ordinance was left on the second reading at the May 7, 2019 City Council meeting. Council Member Gutierrez moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Council Member Kinion seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Council Members Gutierrez, Kinion, Petty, Scroggin, Bunch, Turk, and Smith voting yes. Council Member Marsh was absent during the vote. City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance. City Attorney Kit Williams: This was sponsored by Council Member Turk. She had a meeting last night with the Environmental Action Committee. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes May 21, 2019 Page 7 of 13 Council Member Turk thanked the Environmental Action Committee for their insights and recommendations.

Nathan Hudson, 724 North Washington Avenue spoke in favor of the ordinance. Bob Walker, 127 University Avenue spoke in favor of the ordinance. Taylor Bebe stated she works at a local restaurant and the employees implemented a recycling program. She stated they got rid of all styrofoam and now use compostable take-out boxes and paper bags. Council Member Smith: Do you have any feedback on what the cost impact was to the business? Taylor Bebe stated she was not in charge of the finances and could not answer the question. Council Member Smith: Have you noticed any change in customers coming in the door because of this. Taylor Bebe: Absolutely. It is nice to see customers response for us taking a step in the right direction of minimizing our carbon footprint. Council Member Scroggin thanked Council Member Turk and the citizens. He stated it is something he wants to see more of. He stated he is looking forward to banning styrofoam across the city in the future. He requested to know would it stop what they intend to do now if they did more. City Attorney Kit Williams: One reason we brought it forward when we did is that we were waiting for the legislature to adjourn. I doubt that the Governor would call a special session to try and stop us from helping our economy and ecology. Until the legislature goes back into session, in almost two years, they will not have the opportunity to do anything. If we can establish a good program that works with our businesses, we might be effecting reduction of styrofoam and plastic bags, not only in Fayetteville, but in many other cities around the state. Instead of doing a fast 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes May 21, 2019 Page 8 of 13 thing, I would rather go slower to get good acceptance. Thank you to the Environmental Action Committee, Peter Nierengarten, and Brian Pugh. I am happy that the City Council is united on this. There have been some setbacks in courts on the plastic bag issue. We want to look at those so we don't have a problem. I want to do this carefully so we have a great product to show citizens and other cities. Council Member Kinion: I wanted to get everything banned tonight. I trust Kit with his analysis of why it's better to be deliberate than to be aggressive. I was wanting to amend this, but I know better than to do that because there was so much thought and work behind what we have in front of us. I am going to respect the Environmental Action Committee, Council Member Turk, and Kit's opinion. We can still have a resolution with a plan. Council Member Bunch: I am so pleased that the city, Environmental Action Committee, and Council Member Turk worked so hard to bring this forward. I would love to add more to this, but I am going to be on the side of caution. I'm going to vote in favor of this and I hope we can come up with a solid plan to add more items to it that will be very effective. Council Member Smith stated the people who showed up tonight gave them a good indication of where the community is on this and he believes there is broad community support. He stated if the city can't recycle something, then they should be working to limit it and not produce as much of it. He stated he's in favor of doing something that's better than what they have right now with a promise to come back and do better than this later. Council Member Gutierrez thanked Council Member Turk, city staff, and citizens. She spoke about the City of Fayetteville valuing the environment. She believes the city should lead by example. She appreciates the advice that has been given for the city to do this in incremental steps. Council Member Petty stated he's happy that the Council is unified on the issue in making advancements. He requested to know how long they think they need to develop the program. City Attorney Kit Williams: We can get it done in a couple of months. We will have something to present to Council at Agenda Session about your commitment and asking the Mayor to use his staff to help with this. We have talked with the Environmental Action Committee about what we would like to see them do and that would be relatively quickly. I need to do some legal research to make sure we don't step across the line. We don't want to have any reactions against us. Council Member Turk: I am delighted and encouraged by all the support. This is a team effort to implement something like this. One of my campaign promises was to reduce our plastic significantly. This ordinance is the first step. We want to be successful and get as many people on board as we can to make it the most successful program in the country. Mayor Jordan thanked Council Member Turk, the Environmental Action Committee, citizens who spoke, and City Council. He spoke about cleanups around town and is always amazed with the amount of litter found in streams. He stated it is going to take everyone working together to keep the planet clean. He stated the proposed ordinance is taking another step to begin to make it better for our children. 113 West Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-8323 www.fayetteville-ar gov City Council Meeting Minutes May 21, 2019 Page 9 of 13 Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass.

Regarding curb cuts on Joyce, what can we do to limit curb cuts and how many can they have? City Attorney Kit Williams: A property owner is entitled to have eight curb cuts where their land is abutting a street. They are abutting Joyce. This is a development issue rather than a zoning issue. I don't know if they would even request more than one. Our access management standards would be looked at and we would not be legally required to allow them to do more than one. I'm not saying that from an engineering point of view because they might have two. Council Member Scroggin: I hope it stays at one. Council Member Smith: Would the one have to go on Joyce since they have multiple street frontages? City Attorney Kit Williams: They are entitled to access a street they abut.
