CITY COUNCIL MEMO
FROM: Mary McGetrick, Long -Range Planning and Special Projects Manager
DATE: July 31, 2020
SUBJECT: ADM 19-6959 Administrative Item (Amend UDC 166.23: Urban Residential
Design Standards): Submitted by the Long Range Planning Committee for
revisions the Urban Residential Design Standards to increase flexibility for small
building design.
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend City Council consider and adopt a text
amendment to Chapter 166.23 (Urban Residential Design Standards) of the Unified Development
Code increasing flexibility for small building design.
BACKGROUND:
The Fayetteville Unified Development Code (UDC 166.23) requires architectural design
standards for residential buildings that contain two or more attached units. These standards work
well to break up the mass of large multi -family buildings. However, the requirements are not
necessary for small buildings that can naturally blend in with the neighborhood. The Planning
Commission has observed that the code can make it difficult for smaller multi -family buildings,
including some "missing middle housing", to reflect the character of many neighborhoods where
these units are being built. This is because many single family dwellings in existing neighborhoods
do not have shifts in wall plane, a variety of materials, or the additional architectural details
required in 166.23. The inclusion of these requirements on small attached residential buildings
can make them stand out from the surrounding neighborhood in a negative manner.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission and Long Range Planning Committee propose code changes to UDC
Chapter 166.23 specifying different design requirements for small and large attached residential
buildings. This proposal is intended to allow smaller attached residential buildings to better reflect
the character of surrounding neighborhoods. It will also make it easier to build "missing middle
housing". This code amendment will implement action items under Goals 1 and 6 of City Plan
2040 to "Make Appropriate Infill and Revitalization Our Highest Priority" and to "Create
Opportunities for Attainable Housing".

Position Opposed
Comments I oppose the rezoning for the purpose of locating
a Kum & Go gas station at the intersection of Mt. Comfort and Rupple. The gas
station will be less than a hundred yards from Holt Middle School. Development
further west off of Mt. Comfort and
more multi -story apartment buildings at the Links off of Rupple have added to the
congestion on Mt. Comfort. During pre -pandemic morning and evening rush hours
traffic stretches from the stop light near the Subaru dealership (where reportedly a
gas station will be built across from the dealership.) Automobile traffic is dense on
Rupple during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up of kids attending Holt. More
traffic in this area will increase the safety issues. I urge the Council to vote "no on
this agenda item. The placement of
a gas station at the intersection is unwise and unnecessary.
