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

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.

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,

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

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.

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.
Finding: N/A

(A) Purpose. The Community Services District is designed primarily to provide convenience goods and personal
services for persons living in the surrounding residential areas and is intended to provide for adaptable mixed use
centers located along commercial corridors that connect denser development nodes. There is a mixture of
residential and commercial uses in a traditional urban form with buildings addressing the street. For the purposes
of Chapter 96: Noise Control, the Community Services district is a commercial zone. The intent of this zoning
district is to provide standards that enable development to be approved administratively.

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.
Sincerely,
Taylor indley, P.E.
