HUNTSVILLE RD./HAWKINS, 524): Submitted by KONRAD SIEMEK for property located at 656 E. HUNTSVILLE RD. The property is zoned RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.20 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE -URBAN. RECOMMENDATION: City Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of a request to rezone the subject property as described and shown in the attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B'. BACKGROUND: The subject property is located approximately 200-feet west of the intersection of E. Huntsville Road and S. Morningside Drive. It is approximately 0.20 acres and zoned RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre. The property was originally platted as a part of the Fair Land Addition. It is developed with a single-family residence, built in 1915 with an existing driveway accessing S. Lytton Avenue. The property received its current RSF-8 zoning designation from a request in the early 2000s where several property owners sought to downzone the property from RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 Units per Acre. Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, to RI-U, Residential Intermediate -Urban. The applicant stated in their request letter that rezoning will help the city accomplish its goal of increasing density through infill by allowing the development of additional housing on the property in the future. Public Comment: Two neighbors spoke in opposition to the rezoning at the Planning Commission meeting. They expressed concern about on -street parking on S. Lytton Avenue. Specifically, that it is a dead-end road with no turn -around which creates issues associated with on -street parking. They were worried that additional density could potentially exacerbate vehicular traffic circulation. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding mixture of residential and non-residential uses. As an urban district, RI-U will allow for single-, 2-, 3-, and 4- family residential dwelling types that are common in the area. The context of the surrounding Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 zoning also supports added density. Properties in the vicinity are zoned everything from RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 Units per Acre, DG- Downtown General, and Neighborhood Conservation. Additionally, there are several commercial uses and zones nearby. Offices for roofing, graphic design, and kettle corn production companies are located immediately to the south. Staff finds rezoning the property to RI-U will encourage a pattern of development that fits well with the existing properties. This part of Fayetteville has seen strong development pressure recently and the increased density is an appropriate method to introduce infill among existing lots. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed RI-U zoning to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map and its designation of the subject property as Residential Neighborhood Area. The Residential Neighborhood Area designation supports the development of a variety in housing, particularly at a scale that is contextual with surrounding development. The flexibility of lot sizes in the RI-U zoning district, coupled with the zoning district's limitation on attaching up to four housing units, compliments the City's efforts to encourage appropriate infill in an area of smaller attached and detached dwellings. Similarly, rezoning the property to RI-U is consistent with Fayetteville's comprehensive plan and many of its adopted goals. This includes the encouragement of infill and revitalization, which can, in turn, discourage outward urban sprawl. Development under the RI-U zoning district on the subject property can also serve to promote livable transportation, where residents can utilize nearby transit routes or bike and walk to Fayetteville's downtown. Lastly, with its form -based zoning elements, RI-U requires development in a traditional town form, where buildings address the street. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for the subject property. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Department Response (Station #3) • Near Water Main (E. Huntsville Road & S. Lytton Ave.) • Near Sewer Main (E. Huntsville Road & S. Lytton Ave.) • Within '/z Mile of ORT Transit • Near City Park (Jefferson Park & Walker Park) • Near Paved Trail (E. MILK Blvd. Side -Path Trail; E. Huntsville Rd. On -street Bike Lane) DISCUSSION: At the April 26, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 8-0-0 forwarded the request to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Sparkman made the motion and Commissioner Paxton seconded. Two neighbors spoke in opposition to the rezoning at the Planning Commission meeting. They expressed concern about on -street parking on S. Lytton Avenue. Specifically, that it is a dead-end road with no turn -around which creates issues associated with on -street parking. They were worried that additional density could potentially exacerbate vehicular traffic circulation. Commissioners discussed the adequacy of available parking at the site. Commissioners ultimately determined they were comfortable that parking would be addressed should the property be redeveloped. The Commission found in favor of the rezoning request, finding the increase to density at the location to be appropriate.

HUNTSVILLE RD./HAWKINS, 524): Submitted by KONRAD SIEMEK. for property located at 656 E. HUNTSVILLE RD. The property is zoned RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 0.20 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE - URBAN. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2021-000038 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to forward RZN-2021-000038 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval." BACKGROUND: The subject property is located approximately 200-feet west of the intersection of E. Huntsville Road and S. Morningside Drive. It is approximately 0.20 acres and zoned RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre. The property was originally platted as a part of the Fair Land Addition. It is developed with a single-family residence, built in 1915 with an existing driveway accessing S. Lytton Avenue. Surrounding land use and zoning is depicted in Table 1 Table 1 Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Direction Land Use Zoning North Undeveloped RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre South Commercial DG, Downtown General East Undeveloped RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 Units per Acre West Single-family Residential RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre Request. The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, to RI-U, Residential Intermediate -Urban. The applicant stated in their request letter that rezoning will help the city accomplish its goal of increasing density through infill by allowing the development of additional housing on the property in the future. Public Comment: Staff has received no public comment regarding the request. INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The property has frontage along E. Huntsville Road to the south and S. Lytton Avenue to the east. This segment of E. Huntsville is a partially improved Neighborhood Link street along the property's frontage with asphalt paving and open ditches. The property currently has driveway access to S. Lytton Avenue. S. Lytton is a partially improved Residential Link street, with concrete paving, curb and gutter, and sidewalk along the property's frontage. Any street improvements required for the property would be determined at the time of development. Water: Public water is available to the site. A 6-inch water main is present in the E. Huntsville Road right-of-way and a 6-inch main runs through the S. Lytton Avenue right-of-way. Sewer: Public sanitary sewer is available to the site. A 6-inch sewer main is present in the E. Huntsville Road right-of-way and a 6-inch main runs through the S. Lytton Avenue right-of-way. Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within a FEMA designated 100-year floodplain, a Streamside Protection Zone, and no hydric soils are present at the site. A portion of the property is within the Hillside -Hilltop Overlay District (HHOD). Engineered footing designs will be required at the time of building permit submittal, as well as grading, erosion control and abbreviated tree preservation plans. Fire: The Fire Department did not express any concerns with this request. The property will be protected by Station 3, located at 1050 S. Happy Hollow Road. The property is located approximately 1.0 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of approximately 2 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated fire response time is approximately 4.2 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. Tree Preservation: The proposed zoning district of RI-U, Residential Intermediate -Urban requires 16% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district of RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre requires 20% minimum canopy preservation. CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 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. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for the subject property. Per the Planning Commission's Infill Matrix weighting, this represents a score of 6_5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: 0 Adequate Fire Department Response (Station #3) • Near Water Main (E. Huntsville Road & S. Lytton Ave.) • Near Sewer Main (E. Huntsville Road & S. Lytton Ave.) • Within % Mile of ORT Transit • Near City Park (Jefferson Park & Walker Park) • Near Paved Trail (E. MLK Blvd. Side -Path Trail; E. Huntsville Rd. On -street Bike Lane) 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 compatible with the surrounding mixture of residential and non-residential uses. As an urban district, RI-U will allow for single-, 2-, 3-, and 4-family residential dwelling types that are common in the area. The context of the surrounding zoning also supports added density. Properties in the vicinity are zoned everything from RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, RMF-24, Residential Multi -family, 24 Units per Acre, DG- Downtown General, and Neighborhood Conservation. Additionally, there are several commercial uses and zones nearby. Offices for roofing, graphic design, and kettle corn production companies are located immediately to the south. Staff finds rezoning the property to RI-U will encourage a pattern of development that fits well with the existing properties. This part of Fayetteville has seen strong development pressure recently and the increased density is an appropriate method to introduce infill among existing lots. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed RI-U zoning to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map and its designation of the subject property as Residential Neighborhood Area. The Residential Neighborhood Area designation supports the development of a variety in housing, particularly at a scale that is contextual with surrounding development. The flexibility of lot sizes in the RI-U zoning district, coupled with the zoning district's limitation on attaching up to four housing units, compliments the City's efforts to encourage appropriate infill in an area of smaller attached and detached dwellings. Similarly, rezoning the property to RI-U compliments Fayetteville's comprehensive plan and many of its adopted goals. This includes the aforementioned encouragement of infill and revitalization, which can, in turn, discourage outward urban sprawl. Development under the Rl-U zoning district on the subject property can also serve to promote livable transportation, where residents can utilize nearby transit routes or bike and walk to Fayetteville's downtown. Lastly, with its form -based zoning elements, RI-U requires development in a traditional town form, where buildings address the street. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The applicant has requested the zoning change to have greater flexibility in developing the property with residential dwellings. Staff finds the request justified as the proposed zoning district would beneficially facilitate greater residential densities in a part of the City where services, employment opportunities, and amenities are concentrated. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The site has access to a part of E. Huntsville Road that is meant to accommodate up to 6,000 vehicles per day. 2016 average daily traffic measured at a location roughly 1,000-feet to the east counted an average of 13,000 vehicles on E. Huntsville Road. The property's size and other development limitations, such as parking requirements, building and fire codes, and the presence of the HHOD, will inherently limit the development potential of the site. Staff finds these limitations will reduce the potential for congestion or hazardous traffic conditions associated with added density at the location. 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 to RW allows single-, 2-, 3-, and 4-family dwellings with no limits to density. Rezoning the property from RSF-8 to RW undoubtably carries an associated potential to increase population density in the neighborhood. However, as noted above, this property has access to existing water, sewer, and other public services. Additionally, staff finds that the realities of development requirements and the lot's size will limit impacts to those that could occur under the existing zoning entitlements. Accordingly, no additional adverse impacts on services or infrastructure are anticipated. 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-2021-000038 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval.

No. 6245 , §2, 10-15-19) Dear Planning Commission, 656 E Huntsville Rd is a peripherally located parcel in South Fayetteville. The City of Fayetteville has been consistent with its' mission to increase density through infill in order to produce more housing at more affordable prices. Infill can also promote the expansion of community services as well as alternative forms of transportation. Rezoning 656 E Huntsville Rd would be an active extension of the City of Fayetteville's stated objectives. Additionally, 656 E Huntsville Rd is bordered to the East with multifamily zoning — RMF 24. Additionally, on the Northern edge of S Lyyton Ave another parcel zoned RMF-24 persists. Walkable commercial zoning is located across Huntsville Ave, to the South. Other supporting factors include: significant gradient to the North with an empty lot prior to reaching the next residence to the North. Ozark Regional Transit has a stop located 2 blocks East near 7 Hill's transitional housing. The micro neighborhood includes a significant amount of residentially allotted land that is filled with small functional homes, homes in need of restoration, or stagnant lots in which homes have been cleared off their parcel. Many parcels have insufficient land area in order to provide an additional home at RSF-8. After discussing with planning, the likelihood of getting a variance for parcel size is not hopeful. A rezone of this property could help to advance the underutilized residential surroundings. Food trucks and other community services have come and gone in the small commercial district to the South and greater density could help these businesses to survive and grow. I believe that a rezoning from Rsf-8 to RI-U would be in lockstep with the Planning Department's stated goals for further infill/affordable housing/promotion of community/and transportation alternatives.
