Pursuant to correspondence from Assistant City Attorney Blake Pennington please accept
this addendum to our appeal and place this as part of the appeal record.
The Petitioner believes the Planning Commission's refusal to recommend approval of the
rezoning was in error and contrary to Unified Development Code 154.03 in that the rezoning
request was compatible with neighboring property in light of the future plans of the City and
recommendation of the Planning Department.
I thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Robert K. Rhoads

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: RZN 20-7140: Rezone (5152 W. WEDINGTON DR./DEDUSHAJ, 437): Submitted
by ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. for property located at 5152 W.
WEDINGTON DR. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL
and contains approximately 6.91 acres. The request is to rezone 0.97 acres of the
property to NS-G, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES -GENERAL and 4.79 acres to RI-
U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE -URBAN.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Planning staff recommends approval of a request to rezone the subject property as described
and shown in the attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B'. The Planning Commission denied the proposal
and the applicant has appealed the decision to City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located in west Fayetteville on the south side of W. Wedington Drive,
about 1 mile west of N. Rupple Road. The subject property is a residential lot containing
approximately 6.91 acres, is zoned R-A, Residential Agricultural, and currently has one single-
family dwelling on site that was built in 1956. The property has approximately 250 feet of frontage
along W. Wedington Drive, and is currently surrounded by low -density residential and agricultural
land. The property is adjacent to the western -most boundary of the Wedington Corridor Planning
Area, but no part of the parcel in question actually falls within the stated boundary. In 2019, the
Planning Commission forwarded a proposed planned zoning district for mini -storage on the
property to the City Council. This was subsequently withdrawn before final Council action was
taken.
Request: The request is to rezone portions of the property from R-A, Residential -Agricultural, to
NS-G, Neighborhood Services— General, RI-U, Residential Intermediate — Urban. The remaining
portions will stay R-A, Residential -Agricultural.
Public Comment: Staff has received no public comment on the item.
Land Use Compatibility: The property in question is currently flanked on all sides by low -density,
single-family residential and agricultural land, so any request to upzone the area may seem out -

Fayetteville, AR 72701
of -scale given the current built environment. Despite the rural surroundings, staff feels
comfortable supporting the updated request given the long-term land use plans for the area. The
property is located on the fully -improved Regional Link of W. Wedington Drive, which has a design
service volume of 17,600 vehicles per day, leading staff to believe that the existing infrastructure
can absorb an increased vehicle load. Even with some commercial by -right uses, for noise
ordinance and zoning intent purposes, NS-G is considered by code to be a residential zoning
district, in alignment with future land use plans for the area, and does offer the advantage of a
build -to -zone and additional flexibility in uses as opposed to strictly residential single-family
districts. The location along Wedington makes some commercial activity such as those uses
permitted by -right in NS-G appropriate, and limiting the scope of the request for NS-G to 0.97
acres also prevents the entire site from being developed commercially. Placing RI-U zoning
behind, or to the south of NS-G zoning allows for a gradient approach to the site, and provides
potential walkable amenities to any residential development that should come through in the
portion zoned RI-U.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff believes that the proposal is compatible with the goals in City Plan
2040, adopted land use policies, and the future land use designation for this location. This area
is designated as a Residential Neighborhood Area, which encourages a wide variety of housing
types and low -intensity non-residential uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods,
such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting corridors. Given this property's
location along W. Wedington Drive, staff finds that the by -right non-residential uses permitted in
NS-G are in alignment with the long-term land use designation for the area. Additionally, the site
is located approximately 600 feet from a City Neighborhood land use designation as part of the
Wedington Corridor Planning Area, a distance that is easily walkable from the proposed site.
Bringing more rooftops to the area will help support any future commercial uses that may come
forward as associated with the nearby City Neighborhood designation. Although the infill matrix
score is low, staff still finds that the area and its infrastructure can support future development.
Staff is also in support of keeping the area to the farthest south zoned R-A to protect Owl Creek,
and maintain compatibility with the Future Land Use Map designation of Natural Area for that
portion of the site. Given the future land use plans for the area, staff finds this to be a compatible
zoning request.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a varying score between
2 and 4 for the subject property. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Near Sewer Main (W. Wedington Drive)
• Near Paved Trail (W. Wedington Drive)
• Near Water Main (W. Wedington Drive)
• 4 Minute Fire Department Response time (Fire Station #7, 835 N. Rupple Road)
DISCUSSION:
This item was originally heard at the July 13 Planning Commission meeting, where it was tabled
by a vote of 9-0-0 to allow the applicant time to discuss alternatives with staff. The initial request
was to rezone the property NS-L, Neighborhood Services limited. Discussion at that meeting
centered around what type of commercial land use would be appropriate at that site, given its
location between Tier 2 and Tier 3 centers of City Plan 2040's Growth Concept Map and its
designation as a Residential Neighborhood Area. Commissioners tended toward a proposal that
was nuanced and finer -grained, rather than one zoning district on the whole site. On July 27,
2020, the Planning Commission unanimously denied the revised rezoning request by a vote of 9-
0-0. Commissioners had several comments about the proposal. Though they appreciated the
applicant's attempt at a more nuanced approach to the site, they primarily expressed concern
about appropriate commercial activity along Wedington Drive in between Tier 2 and Tier 3
centers, about compatibility with adjacent land uses, the lack of density cap associated with RI-U
zoning, and a lack of reliability in the design without a proposed PZD. No public comment was
issued on the request.

in the subject of this memo and staff is recommending approval.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located in west Fayetteville on the south side of W. Wedington Drive,
about 1 mile west of N. Rupple Road. The subject property is a residential lot containing
approximately 6.91 acres, is zoned R-A, Residential Agricultural, and currently has one single-
family dwelling on site that was built in 1956. The property has approximately 250 feet of frontage
along W. Wedington Drive, and is currently surrounded by low -density residential and agricultural
land. The property is adjacent to the western -most boundary of the Wedington Corridor Planning
Area, but no part of the parcel in question actually falls within the stated boundary. In 2019, the
Planning Commission forwarded a proposed planned zoning district for mini -storage on the
property to the City Council. This was subsequently withdrawn before final Council action was
taken. Surrounding land uses and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Request: The request is to rezone portions of the property from R-A. Residential -Agricultural.. to
NS-G, Neighborhood Services — General, RI-U, Residential Intermediate — Urban. The
remaining portions will stay R-A.. Residential -Agricultural.
Public Comment: Staff has received no public comment.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: This property has frontage to W. Wedington Drive. W. Wedington Drive is a fully
improved Regional Link with asphalt paving, curb and gutter, and trail along the
property's frontage. Any street improvements or requirements for drainage will be
determined at time of development.
Water: Public water is available to this parcel. An existing 18-inch water main is present
along W. Wedington Drive that can serve parcel 765-16190-000.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to this parcel. Existing 6-inch and 12-inch sanitary
sewer mains are present on this parcel.
Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at
time of development. Hydric soils appear to be present throughout portions of the
subject area. No portion of the property is within the Hillside -Hilltop Overlay District.
The southern portion of the subject area lies within a FEMA Regulated Floodway
and 100-year Floodplain. There is also a protected Stream present in the subject
area, Owl Creek.
Fire: Fire apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Station 7 located at 835 N. Rupple Road protects this site. The property is located
approximately 1.1 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 2 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 4.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn -out
time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time
goal of 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes for a ladder truck.
Police: The Police Department expressed no concerns with this request.

CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates
the property within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood Area.
Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a
wide variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context: single-family, duplexes,
rowhouses, multifamily and accessory dwelling units. Residential Neighborhood encourages
highly connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks.
It also encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity non-
residential uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods, such as retail and offices,
on corners and along connecting corridors. This designation recognizes existing conventional
subdivision developments which may have large blocks with conventional setbacks and
development patterns that respond to features of the natural environment. Building setbacks
may vary depending on the context of the existing neighborhood.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 2-4 for this
site, with a weighted score of 3.5 at the highest level. The following elements of the matrix
contribute to the score:
• Near Sewer Main (W. Wedington Drive)
• Near Paved Trail (W. Wedington Drive)
• Near Water Main (W. Wedington Drive)
• 4 Minute Fire Department Response time (Fire Station #7, 835 N. Rupple Road)
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 property in question is currently flanked on all
sides by low -density, single-family residential and agricultural land, so any
request to upzone the area may seem out -of -scale given the current built
environment. Despite the rural surroundings, staff feels comfortable
supporting the updated request given the long-term land use plans for the
area. The property is located on the fully -improved Regional Link of W.
Wedington Drive, which has a design service volume of 17,600 vehicles per
day, leading staff to believe that the existing infrastructure can absorb an
increased vehicle load. Even with some commercial by -right uses, for noise
ordinance and zoning intent purposes, NS-G is considered by code to be a
residential zoning district, in alignment with future land use plans for the
area, and does offer the advantage of a build -to -zone and additional
flexibility in uses strictly residential single-family districts. The location
along Wedington makes some commercial activity such as those uses
permitted by -right in NS-G appropriate, and limiting the scope of the request
for NS-G to 0.97 acres also prevents the entire site from being developed
commercially. Placing RI-U zoning behind, or to the south of NS-G zoning
allows for a gradient approach to the site, and provides potential walkable
amenities to any residential development that should come through in the
portion zoned RI-U.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff believes that the proposal is compatible with the goals in
City Plan 2040, adopted land use policies, and the future land use

designation for this location. This area is designated as a Residential
Neighborhood Area, which encourages a wide variety of housing types and
low -intensity non-residential uses intended to serve the surrounding
neighborhoods, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting
corridors. Given this property's location along W. Wedington Drive, staff
finds that the by -right non-residential uses permitted in NS-G are in
alignment with the long-term land use designation for the area. Additionally,
the site is located approximately 600 feet from a City Neighborhood land use
designation as part of the Wedington Corridor Planning Area, a distance that
is easily walkable from the proposed site. Bringing more rooftops to the area
will help support any future commercial uses that may come forward as
associated with the nearby City Neighborhood designation. Although the
infill matrix score is low, staff still finds that the area and its infrastructure
can support future development. Staff is also in support of keeping the area
to the farthest south zoned R-A to protect Owl Creek, and maintain
compatibility with the Future Land U Map designation of Natural Area for that
portion of the site. Given the future land use plans for the area, staff finds
this to be a compatible zoning request.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: At its current zoning of R-A, the property is currently under -zoned given its
long-term land use designation as a Residential Neighborhood area. A
combined rezone to NS-G and RI-U would increase allowable density and
help meet the long-term land use plans for its intended designation.
A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: Rezoning a portion of the property to NS-G and RI-U does have the potential
to increase traffic along W. Wedington Road. However, W. Wedington Road
is a fully improved Neighborhood Link with asphalt paving, off-street bike
lanes, curb and gutter, storm drain, and sidewalk along the property's
frontage. Traffic generated by a rezone of this nature would likely be
absorbed by the existing infrastructure; W. Wedington Road has a current
average daily traffic count of 14,000 observed to the east near Broyles
Avenue. Staff does not find that the number of units would appreciably
increase traffic danger along a Regional Link street, but recognizes that any
necessary street improvements would be evaluated at the time of
development. Any non-residential uses that may come through as a result of
the rezone could also increase traffic to the area, but the by -right commercial
uses are limited in nature; for instance, Use Unit 12b, General Business is
limited to a building of 8000 sq. ft. Staff also feels that a nuanced approach
to the site allows for the potential of walkability from the residential zoning
of RI-U to the potentially limited commercial activity provided by NS-G.
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 a portion of the property from R-A to NS-G and RI-U would certainly
increase the population density. However, the property currently has access
to water and sewer, and other public services that would eliminate the need
for costly extensions or stretched fire or police service associated with
development on the urban periphery.
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
RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommends forwarding RZN 20-7140 to the City
Council with a recommendation for approval.

RE: Rezone Application 5152
W Wedington Dr.
Parcel ID: 765-16190-000
To whom it may concern,
Please let this letter serve as a narrative to accompany a rezone request. The project area requested to be
rezoned is located at 5152 W Wedington Dr. and is parcel number 765-16190-000. It is located approximately
1300 linear feet west of S Broyles Avenue. The parcel is approximately 6.83 acres, and is currently zoned
Residential Agricultural (R-A). The request is to rezone the parcel to a combination of Neighborhood Services —
General (NS-G), Residential Intermediate — Urban (RI-U), and to leave a remainder along the southern border
of the property as R-A.
At the previous planning commission, the rezone was tabled due to the following issues:
1. Desired residential development
2. Traffic concerns
3. Lack of commercial service to the area
Desired Residential Development
On the previous planning commission packet, it was stated that the desired residential development for this land
was a duplex subdivision. There were preliminary discussions of this with our developer and city personnel, but
this development style is not set at this time. RI-U allows the flexibility for all housing styles, while also meeting the
Residential Neighborhood Area classifications.
Traffic Concerns
For traffic concerns, this land is unfortunately unable to connect to the adjacent parcels as they are not developed.
The project area is only one parcel away from being able to connect to Broyles Road. Any future development will
have a street stub -out to the east and to the west to allow for future connectivity. At initial build -out, the traffic
will flow onto Wedington Dr., but once other properties begin to develop, residents will have other options. This
parcel is unfortunately the first to develop in this area. While connectivity is always desired for streets and utilities,
it cannot occur until somebody goes first.
Lack of Commercial Service to the Area
It is also proposed to have a small portion of NS-G along Wedington. Based on the previous planning
commission, it was desired for the site to offer some form of a commercial service to the surrounding areas.
Half of the commissioners appeared to be in favor of that, while the other half were hesitant. Because of this,
only a small parcel is proposed as NS-G, which would likely be developed as a general business or a restaurant.

Future Land Use Map and Compliance
The future land use map classifies this area as Residential Neighborhood Area, which supports single family,
multifamily, and row -houses. This classification supports compact blocks with reduced street setbacks.
Residential Intermediate — Urban (RI-U) appears to be compliant with this future land use classification, as it
supports single family dwellings, as well as 2, 3, and 4 family dwellings. It also has a build -to -zone for proposed
structures to be within 0 and 25 feet of the front property line, which is in compliance with the reduced street
setback statement of Residential Neighborhood Area.
Adjacent Land
This property is surrounding by Residential -Agriculture properties to the east and west. Southwest of this
property is RSF-4. East of N Broyles Avenue, there is CS, NC, R-O, and RMF-12 zoning districts.
North of Wedington, there is R-A and RSF-4 zoning with RI-U and CS zoning districts northwest of the site.
NS-L appears to be compliant with current zoning districts as it primarily focuses on residential
developments, which will match the surrounding areas. There is no current site plan for this property, but the
desire is for a residential development.
It should also be noted that this project area is just outside of the Wedington Corridor Plan. While this parcel is
not subject to those requirements the requested zoning districts seem to be an appropriate rezone request
based on the exterior limits of that corridor plan, which largely consist of Residential Neighborhood area, and
city neighborhood area.
Utilities
This site has access to existing public utility infrastructure for water and sewer. There is an existing 18" water
main along the south side of W Wedington Dr. which this development would connect into for service. For
sanitary sewer, there is an existing 6" sewer main on the northern half of the property, as well as a 12" sewer
main on the southern property line. As this site slopes from north to south, toward Owl Creek, most of the
development will connect into the 12" main. There are no known capacity problems in any of the existing
utility infrastructure.
Floodplain
This site is adjacent to Owl Creek on the southern end of the property. Owl creek is an engineer studied (Zone
AE) floodplain with established base flood elevations. Any development within or adjacent to the floodplain
fringe would be in compliance with Fayetteville's development code and within FEMA regulations. The
streamside protection criteria would also be observed and met with any development proposed. It is requested
that the majority of land within this flood zone designation remain as R-A.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Blake Murray, P.E., CFM
