CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Garner Stoll, Development Services Director
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
DATE: August 7, 2019
SUBJECT: 2019-0482 Administrative Item (Amend UDC chapter 161: Sidewalk Cafes):
Submitted by the City Planning Division for revisions to UDC Chapter 161. The
proposed code changes would align conflicting codes related to sidewalk cafes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a minor text amendment to Chapter 161 of the Unified
Development Code to align conflicting codes related to sidewalk cafes.
BACKGROUND:
In 2017 Ordinance 5979 modified Unified Development Code Section 178.02(B) to allow the City
Planning Division to administratively approve sidewalk cafes. The code previously specified that
only the Planning Commission could approve a sidewalk cafe with a conditional use permit.
DISCUSSION:
The subject ordinance resulted in the changes to UDC 178.02(B) noted above, however, the code
drafter failed to show the same code change in UDC Chapter 161. Chapter 161 is redundant with
178.02(B) as it includes the use unit for sidewalk cafes in various zoning districts. Chapter 161 is
proposed to be modified to move the use unit for sidewalk cafes from `Conditional Use' to
`Permitted Use' in all zoning districts. It is clear in looking at Ordinance 5979 and the associated
memorandum that the council intended to allow sidewalk cafes to be approved administratively
by staff.
Ordinance 5979
Pg. 1 of 30, ordinance heading:
..to allow administrative approval of permits for mobile vendor courts and sidewalk cafes..."
Pg. 8 of 30, paragraph 3:
"Staff proposes to modify the requirements for mobile vendor courts and sidewalk cafes, and
allow them to be approved administratively by staff. "
The required modification to Chapter 161 was unintentionally omitted. There is a clear conflict
between the two sections of code that needs to be corrected to meet the intent of the ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
Matthew Petty, Alderman
DATE: March 31, 2017
SUBJECT: ADM 17-5705: Administrative Item (UDC Chapter 178/UDC Amendment
Outdoor Mobile Vendors): Submitted by CITY PLANNING STAFF and
ALDERMAN MATTHEW PETTY for revisions to UDC Chapter 178 to
modify the requirements for mobile vendors.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Cty Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of an ordinance to amend
UDC Chapter 178 to to modify the requirements for mobile vendors.
The Outdoor Mobile Vendor code (UDC Chapter 178) was amended in 2014 to allow vending on
public property such as streets and parks. At the time of the proposed code change, concerns
were expressed that there would be a large number of vendors that might have a negative impact
on the availability of public parking. To offset that potential issue, permits for mobile vendors on
public property were to be issued by a lottery drawing for a maximum of three permits annually.
The total number of permits could be increased slightly depending on the number of applications.
Although there were a few application for the first.lottery, to staffs knowledge there have not been
any mobile vendors that have operated on public property such as in the parallel parking spaces
on Dickson Street or in parking lots in parks since the code's change. Because mobile vending
on public property has not proven to be a problem and a lottery drawing seems unnecessary, staff
proposes to remove the lottery drawing requirement from the code.
A conditional use permit process is required for mobile vendor courts and sidewalk cafes. There
has only been one conditional use permit application for a mobile vendor court. The permit was
for the Shulertown Food Court on Dickson Street which was in May of 2014. There have been no
applications for sidewalk cafes. Staff proposes to modify the requirements for mobile vendor
courts and sidewalk cafes, and allow them to be approved administratively by staff.
Section 178.04 allows two types of mobile vending permits: a six month permit that is approved
by staff and a one-year (annual) permit that may be approved by the Planning Commission. There
have been 19 annual permits submitted to the Planning Commission over the past three years
and all have been approved, usually on the consent agenda. Because the Planning Commission
and City Council have been supportive of these types of permits and no complaints have been
received by staff, staff proposes to remove the time limitation for mobile vendors. Instead, staff
proposes that mobile vendors simply renew their permit on an annual basis similar to a business
license.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
These changes are an effort to encourage more vacant property to be utilized for mobile vending,
provide economic opportunities for start-up businesses, and create a more lively streetscape and
increased urban amenities for citizens.
Proposal: Staff proposes the following code changes as outlined below and shown in the attached
document in highlight and strikeout:
178.01 Purpose. Change the word "retail' to "commercial".
178.02 Sidewalk Cafes. Change the requirement for sidewalk cafes to be able to be
approved by staff instead of a conditional use permit.
178.04 Outdoor Mobile Vendors
o B. Added definitions for various types of vendors for clarification.
o C. Combined the "Mobile Vendor Six Month Permit" and "Mobile Vendor Annual
Permit" into one permit that is approved by staff and applicants are required to
renew their permits on an annual basis like a business license.
o D. Allow "Mobile Vendor Courts" to be approved administratively by staff instead
of as a conditional use permit. Modified the requirements for mobile vendor courts
to clarify site improvements especially in a greenfield site.
o E. Change "Limited Time Permits" for all vendors to automatically be allowed
"Limited Time Permits". This allows all permitted vendors to operate. on public
property such as Dickson Street -and in city parks; also expanded the timeframe to
12 hours.
178.05 Food Truck and Food Trailer Limited Time Permits. Removed this section as it
was condensed and combined into subsection "E".
DISCUSSION:
This code change was discussed at the March 13, 2017 Planning Commission meeting where it
was tabled to address comments related to the amount of time mobile vendors may park on public
property during a 24-hour period, and to evaluate public improvements for mobile vendor courts.
The code change was discussed again at the March 27, 2017 Planning Commission meeting
where staff and the commission made further minor changes, and the proposal was forwarded
with a recommendation for approval by a vote of 8-0-0 (Commissioner Quinlan was absent).

CITY OF
`Fay81 l C PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO
ARKANSAS
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
Matthew Petty, Alderman
MEETING DATE: March 27, 2017 (Updated with Planning Commission results)
SUBJECT: ADM 17-5705: Administrative Item (UDC Chapter 178/UDC Amendment
Outdoor Mobile Vendors): Submitted by CITY PLANNING STAFF and
ALDERMAN MATTHEW PETTY for revisions to UDC Chapter 178 to
modify the requirements for mobile vendors.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward ADM 17-5705 to the City Council with
a recommendation for approval.
DISCUSSION:
March 13. 2017 Planning Commission. This item was discussed and tabled at the March 13,201
Planning Commission meeting The primary reason for tabling the item was for continued
evaluation of improvements to public safety that may be required with mobile vendor courts
Based on the commission's input a new subsection has been proposed to require any continuous
curb cuts be closed and pedestrian safety maintained. Due to the small size of new impact and
semi-permanent nature of this use, the safety improvements may be completed with temporary
measures. This new subsection is 178.04 (D)(20) as indicated on the attachments to this report.
Additionaliv. the limited time permits have been expanded to 12 hours as requested by the
commission.
The Outdoor Mobile Vendor code (UDC Chapter 178) was amended in 2014 to allow vending on
public property such as streets and parks. At the time of the proposed code change, concerns
were expressed that there would be a large number of vendors that might have a negative impact
on the availability of public parking. To offset that potential issue, permits for mobile vendors on
public property were to be issued by a lottery drawing for a maximum of three permits annually.
The total number of permits could be increased slightly depending on the number of applications.
Although there were a few application for the first lottery, to staffs knowledge there have not been
any mobile vendors that have operated on public property such as in the parallel parking spaces
on Dickson Street or in parking lots in parks since the code's change. Because mobile vending
on public property has not proven to be a problem and a lottery drawing seems unnecessary, staff
proposes to remove the lottery drawing requirement from the code.
A conditional use permit process is required for mobile vendor courts and sidewalk cafes. There
has only been one conditional use permit application for a mobile vendor court. The permit was
for the Shulertown Food Court on Dickson Street which was in May of 2014. There have been no

applications for sidewalk cafes. Staff proposes to modify the requirements for mobile vendor
courts and sidewalk cafes, and allow them to be approved administratively by staff.
Section 178.04 allows two types of mobile vending permits: a six month permit that is approved
by staff and a one-year (annual) permit that may be approved by the Planning Commission. There
have been 19 annual permits submitted to the Planning Commission over the past three years
and all have been approved, usually on the consent agenda. Because the Planning Commission
and City Council have been supportive of these types of permits and no complaints have been
received by staff, staff proposes to remove the time limitation for mobile vendors. Instead, staff
proposes that mobile vendors simply renew their permit on an annual basis similar to a business
license.
These changes are an effort to encourage more vacant property to be utilized for mobile vending,
provide economic opportunities for start-up businesses, and create a more lively streetscape and
increased urban amenities for citizens.
Proposal: Staff proposes the following code changes as outlined below and shown in the attached
document in highlight and sWkeeat:
• 178.01 Purpose. Change the word "retail" to "commercial".
■ 178.02 Sidewalk Cafes. Change the requirement for sidewalk cafes to be able to be
approved by staff instead of a conditional use permit.
■ 178.04 Outdoor Mobile Vendors
o B. Added definitions for various types of vendors for clarification.
o C. Combined the "Mobile Vendor Six Month Permit" and "Mobile Vendor Annual
Permit" into one permit that is approved by staff and applicants are required to
renew their permits on an annual basis like a business license.
o D. Allow "Mobile Vendor Courts" to be approved administratively by staff instead
of as a conditional use permit. Modified the requirements for mobile vendor courts
to clarify site improvements especially in a greenfield site.
o E. Change "Limited Time Permits" for all vendors to automatically be allowed
"Limited Time Permits". This allows all permitted vendors to operate on public
property such as Dickson Street and in city parks; also expanded the timeframe to
12 hours.
• 178.05 Food Truck and Food Trailer Limited Time Permits. Removed this section as it
was condensed and combined into subsection "E".
