City Attorney Blake Pennington Date (as to form) CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS MEETING OF FEBRUARY 18, 2020 TO: Mayor; Fayetteville City Council THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff Garner Stoll, Development Services Director FROM: Jonathan Curth, Development Review Manager DATE: February 10, 2020 CITY COUNCIL MEMO SUBJECT: RZN 20-6982: Rezone (1210 N. 54T" ST./FAYETTEVILLE HOUSING PARTNERS, 398): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located at 1210 N. 54T" ST. The properties are in the FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING AREA and contain approximately 24.81 acres. The request is to rezone the properties, in conjunction with an annexation, to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE -URBAN & CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone the subject property, as shown in the attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B'. BACKGROUND: The subject property is in west Fayetteville, on the north side of Wedington Drive, and between 5111 and 541h Avenues. Approximately 9-acres of the property is currently within incorporated Fayetteville and a larger, approximately 15-acre piece is in unincorporated Washington County. The property remains largely undeveloped, with several agricultural buildings and row crops representing the current land use through the non-profit, Cobblestone Farms. Although largely level, the northern extents of the property include areas of increasing slope as it nears the Hamestring Creek riparian corridor. Request: The request is to rezone approximately 2.28 acres at the southeastern corner of the property to CS, Community Services, and approximately 15.20 acres to the north and west of that to RI-U, Residential Intermediate, Urban. The remaining portion of the subject property will be designated R-A, Residential Agricultural, with City Council approval of the concurrently -submitted annexation (ANX 20-6981). The applicant has indicated that the requested zoning districts will facilitate development of a walkable, mixed -density community adjacent to services. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is not generally compatible with the immediately surrounding agricultural and residential land uses. However, with due consideration for development trends it is likely that this portion of Wedington Drive will continue to develop as Fayetteville's population grows and as services are increasingly needed by the large number of purely -residential neighborhoods between Rupple and Double Springs Road. Ultimately, it is unlikely that the large, undeveloped or agricultural lots near the subject property will remain open Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 space or pasture, and staff anticipates that the applicant's request will compliment future development. Plan and Compatibility Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be generally in agreement with the Future Land Use Map and consistent with the goals of City Plan 2040. While the Residential Neighborhood Designation encourages low -intensity nonresidential activities, the CS zoning district allows many uses, such as gas stations and drive-thru restaurants that can have adverse impacts on neighbors. That said, the location of the proposed mixed -use zoning along Wedington, a major traffic corridor, can mitigate many of the impacts associated with more intense residential development. Furthermore, locating CS zoning near existing and potential residential areas can further the City's goal to create compact, complete, and connected neighborhoods through the provision of a wide range of potential goods and services. Regarding the proposed RI-U zoning, staff finds that the diversity in allowed housing types, including single-, 2-, 3-, and 4-family dwellings, is complimentary to the Residential Neighborhood Area designation. The flexibility in lot sizes and building types permitted in the RI-U zoning district allows for greater potential to develop attainable housing than a typical, single -use zoning district. Designating a portion of the subject property RI-U would also compliment the City's goals to limit sprawl by allowing higher densities near existing infrastructure, thereby mitigating the costs often associated with low -density peripheral development. Lastly, the allowance for higher densities along a major transportation corridor like Wedington increases the feasibility of various forms of transportation, whether vehicular, public transit, bicycle, or other. When considering compatibility with existing land uses and consistency with adopted land use plans together, staff finds that the request is appropriate overall. DISCUSSION: On February 10, 2020, the Planning Commission forwarded the proposal to City Council with a recommendation for approval by a vote of 9-0-0. Public comment was made from a nearby resident with concerns about drainage. Additionally, representation from the Fayetteville Housing Authority spoke in support of the proposal.

CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO W40 ARKANSAS TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission FROM: Jonathan Curth, Development Review Manager MEETING DATE: February 10, 2020 (Updated with Planning Commission Results) SUBJECT: RZN 20-6982: Rezone (1210 N. 54T" ST./FAYETTEVILLE HOUSING PARTNERS, 398): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located at 1210 N. 54T" ST. The properties are in the FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING AREA and contain approximately 24.81 acres. The request is to rezone the properties, in conjunction with an annexation, to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE -URBAN & CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 20-6982 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to forward RZN 20-6982 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval." BACKGROUND: The subject property is in west Fayetteville, on the north side of Wedington Drive, and between 515' and 5411 Avenues. Approximately 9-acres of the property is currently within incorporated Fayetteville and a larger, approximately 15-acre piece is in unincorporated Washington County. The property remains largely undeveloped, with several agricultural buildings and row crops representing the current land use through the non-profit, Cobblestone Farms. Although largely level, the northern extents of the property include areas of increasing slope as it nears the Hamestring Creek riparian corridor. Surrounding land uses and zoning is depicted in Table 1. Table 1 Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Direction Land Use Zoning North Agricultural AG/SF Res 1 (Unincorporated Washington Count South Single-family Residential R-A Residential Agricultural East Undeveloped AG/SF Res 1 (Unincorporated Washington County) West Single-family Residential; Outdoor Materials Storage AG/SF Res 1 (Unincorporated Washington County) Request: The request is to rezone approximately 2.28 acres at the southeastern corner of the property to CS, Community Services, and approximately 15.20 acres to the north and west of that to RI-U, Residential Intermediate, Urban. The remaining portion of the subject property will be designated R-A, Residential Agricultural, with City Council approval of the concurrently -submitted annexation (ANX 20-6981). The applicant has indicated that the requested zoning districts will facilitate development of a walkable, mixed -density community adjacent to services. Public Comment: Staff has received public inquiries regarding this request and its associated rezoning. Although initially concerned, nearby property owners have expressed support or ambivalence once understanding the scope of the proposal. INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The subject parcel has direct access to West Wedington Drive and North 54th Avenue. Per the 2040 Master Street Plan, Wedington Drive is a fully -improved Regional Link, High Activity, and 541h Street was downgraded from a Collector Street (Neighborhood Link) to a Residential Link. A planned residential link is proposed in the 2040 Master Plan to bisect this property east -west and connect with Ponca Street to the east. Any drainage or street improvements required would be determined at the time of development proposal. Water: While public water is available to the overall site through an existing 18-inch main on Wedington, parcels 001-11744-000 and 001-11744-001, do not have direct access. These are the parcels on which Cobblestone Farms currently lay. Sewer: Similarly, while public sanitary sewer is available to the overall site an 8-inch main on 54th and a 6-inch main on Wedington, parcels 001-11744-000 and 001- 11744-001, do not have direct access. Drainage: No portion of the site lies within the Hilltop -Hillside Overlay District. Although no FEMA-designated floodplain nor City -designated protected stream are found on the property, there are hydric soils along the southern extents of the site. Fire: The property will be protected by Station 7, located at 835 North Rupple Road, which is approximately 1.4 miles from the subject property. The anticipated response time would be approximately 5.2 minutes. This is within the response time goal of six minutes for an engine and eight minutes for a ladder truck. 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 Plan designates the properties within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood Area. Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context, including single-family, multi -family, and rowhouses. Development is encouraged to be highly -connected, with compact blocks, grid street pattern and reduced setbacks. Low -intensity, non-residential uses are encouraged at appropriate locations, such as on corners and connecting corridors. 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 is not generally compatible with the immediately surrounding agricultural and residential land uses. However, with due consideration for development trends it is likely that this portion of Wedington Drive will continue to develop as Fayetteville's population grows and as services are increasingly needed by the large GAETC\Development Services Review\2020\Development Services\20-6982 RZN 1210 N. 54th (Fay. Housing Partners) 398\03 PC\02-10-2020 number of purely -residential neighborhoods between Rupple and Double Springs Road. Ultimately, it is unlikely that the large, undeveloped or agricultural lots near the subject property will remain open space or pasture, and staff anticipates that the applicant's request will compliment future development. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be generally in agreement with the Future Land Use Map and consistent with the goals of City Plan 2040. While the Residential Neighborhood Designation encourages low -intensity nonresidential activities, the CS zoning district allows many uses, such as gas stations and drive-thru restaurants that can have adverse impacts on neighbors. That said, the location of the proposed mixed -use zoning along Wedington, a major traffic corridor, can mitigate many of the impacts associated with more intense residential development. Furthermore, locating CS zoning near existing and potential residential areas can further the City's. goal to create compact, complete, and connected neighborhoods through the provision of a wide range of potential goods and services. Regarding the proposed RI-U zoning, staff finds that the diversity in allowed housing types, including single-, 2-, 3-, and 4-family dwellings, is complimentary to the Residential Neighborhood Area designation. The flexibility in lot sizes and building types permitted in the RI-U zoning district allows for greater potential to develop attainable housing than a typical, single -use zoning district. Designating a portion of the subject property RI- U would also compliment the City's goals to limit sprawl by allowing higher densities near existing infrastructure, thereby mitigating the costs often associated with low -density peripheral development. Lastly, the allowance for higher densities along a major transportation corridor like Wedington increases the feasibility of various forms of transportation, whether vehicular, public transit, bicycle, or other. When considering compatibility with existing land uses and consistency with adopted land use plans together, staff finds that the request is appropriate overall. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: Staff contends that the applicant's rezoning request is justified. This is based on the presence of existing and adequate infrastructure and the alignment of the proposal with the City's adopted planning goals. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The site has access to Wedington Drive, a state highway and Regional Link, High Activity under the Master Street Plan. Given existing traffic accident data and the ability of the property to access Wedington without directing traffic to the narrow and unimproved 54th Avenue, staff anticipates that potential for traffic danger and congestion is limited. GAETC\Development Services RevieM2020\Development Services\20-6982 RZN 1210 N. 54th (Fay. Housing Partners) 398\03 PC\02-10-2020 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: Rezoning the property from R-A and the current Washington County AG/SF Res 1 zoning designation will almost certainly lead to greater density on the subject property than would otherwise occur. That being said, adjacency to existing water, sewer, and street infrastructure will limit the potential for density having an adverse impact. Further, neither the Police nor the Fire Department have expressed objection to the proposal. Similarly, no comment has been received from the Fayetteville Public School District. 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: 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.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: Wedington Rezoning CTA Job No. 19112400 To whom it may concern, 901 N 47th Street, Suite 200 Rogers, AR 72756 479.636.4838 (ph) 479.631.6224 (tax) This submittal is for the rezoning of approximately 40 acres along Wedington Dr to residential agriculture, residential intermediate urban, and community services. The neighboring properties are a combination of residential single family, residential intermediate, and residential agriculture. The land to the north of the requested rezoning is property that has not been annexed into the City of Fayetteville. By rezoning the northern portion to residential agriculture there will be a consistency of zoning between the adjacent properties remaining in the county and the development. Residential agriculture will also provide a transition into more dense residential zoning to the south. The residential intermediate urban is consistent with properties to the west. The residential intermediate zoning will allow for various housing values and promote a walkable community with nearby amenities. The community services portion of the rezoning will benefit the neighboring properties by providing personal goods and services for residents. This area is adjacent to W Wedington Dr. and will allow for access for residents nearby. Should you have any questions, or require any additional information, please contact us at your convenience.
