CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: RZN-2021-000039: Rezone (4300 BLOCK OF MILK BLVD. /HOSKINS, 594):
Submitted by TRACY HOSKINS for property located at the 4300 BLOCK OF MLK
BLVD. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL and contains
approximately 1.38 acres. The request is to rezone the property to CS, Community
Services
RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant's original request was to rezone the property to UT, Urban Thoroughfare. City
Planning staff recommended denial of that request, and the Planning Commission recommended
approval of a request to rezone the subject property to CS, Community Services, as shown in
Exhibits 'A' and 'B'.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property, parcel 765-16311-000, is in west Fayetteville on W. Martin Luther King Jr.
Blvd, at the City's border with Farmington. Containing approximately 1.38 acres, the property is
undeveloped, zoned R-A, Residential -Agricultural, and also has frontage to the south along Ozark
Trail.
Request: The applicant requested to rezone the property from R-A, Residential -Agricultural to UT,
Urban Thoroughfare. The applicant did not submit any associated development plans, but
expressed an intent to develop a drive-thru restaurant. Planning Commission recommends to
rezone the property to CS, Community Services.
Public Comment: Staff received public comment on the item prior to the meeting, which is included
in the attached packet. No public comment was heard at the meeting.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the request to rezone the property to UT, Urban
Thoroughfare is out of scale with the surrounding land uses, which include low -density residential
on three sides, and commercial uses across the street. Much of the zoning in the near vicinity is
for higher intensity uses; however, many of the traffic -generating uses permitted by -right in UT
zoning may not be immediately compatible with the low -density residential neighborhood to the
south. Additionally, while UT allows for residential uses, it allows for a maximum building height
of up to 7 stories, which might also be out of scale with the surrounding context, especially

Fayetteville, AR 72701
considering the property's additional frontage along Ozark Trail, and adjacency to the City of
Farmington. Staff agrees that the property's frontage along the state highway and within a City
Neighborhood Area certainly encourage higher density zoning, but suggest a different approach
for the site, including CS zoning along the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. frontage and RI-U zoning
along Ozark Trail, or CS zoning for the entire site.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is not fully consistent with adopted land use
policies, the Future Land Use Map designation, or goals of City Plan 2040. On the one hand, the
area is designated as a City Neighborhood Area, which does encourage a wide variety of uses
and housing types, rather than the land remaining zoned for agricultural uses. The property is
also located within a Tier 2 center according to the City's Growth Concept Map. On the other
hand, staff finds that some of the by -right uses permitted in UT zoning may be of too high an
intensity, and are better suited for the area that is closer to the intersection of Rupple Road. Staff
would support a higher intensity zoning at this site than R-A, such as CS, or a consideration for
CS along the property's W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. frontage and RI-U along Ozark Trail.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for this site.
The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station #6, Located at 900 S. Hollywood Avenue)
• Near Sewer Main (W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Ozark Trail)
• Near Water Main (W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Ozark Trail)
• Near City Park (Holland Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Rupple Road side -path trail)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
DISCUSSION:
At the April 26, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 9-0-0 forwarded an amended
recommendation to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Paxton
made the motion and Commissioner Belden seconded. Commissioners discussed the applicant's
plans, who indicated an intent to develop a drive-thru ice cream restaurant; no formal plans were
offered. Commissioners were concerned that some of the other uses in the UT zoning district may
not be completely compatible at that location, and after the applicant expressed a willingness to
offer a Bill of Assurance to limit those uses, the Commission determined that the more appropriate
route would be to zone the property CS. Ultimately, the Commission determined that zoning the
property to CS and subsequently applying for a conditional use permit was the appropriate path
for the applicant to take. No public comment was offered at the meeting, but some neighbors
offered written opposition to the request of UT prior to the meeting.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Jessie Masters, Development Review Manager
MEETING DATE: April 26, 2021 Updated with PC hearing results from 4/26/2021
SUBJECT: RZN-2021-000039: Rezone (4300 BLOCK OF MILK BLVD. /HOSKINS,
594): Submitted by TRACY HOSKINS for property located at the 4300
BLOCK OF MLK BLVD. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL
AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 1.38 acres. The request is to
rezone the property to UT, URBAN THOROUGHFARE.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of RZN-2021-000039.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to deny RZN-2021-000039."
BACKGROUND:
The subject property, parcel 765-16311-000, is in west Fayetteville on W. Martin Luther King Jr.
Blvd, at the City's border with Farmington. Containing approximately 1.38 acres, the property is
undeveloped, zoned R-A, Residential -Agricultural, and also has frontage at the property's rear
along Ozark Trail. Surrounding land uses and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Request: The request is to rezone the property from R-A, Residential -Agricultural to UT, Urban
Thoroughfare. The applicant has not submitted any associated development plans.
Public Comment: Staff received public comment from a property owner to the south in opposition
to the request. The main concern was regarding commercial construction traffic accessing the
site from Ozark Trail, and whether a landscape buffer would be installed along the Ozark Trail
frontage.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Streets: The subject area has frontage along W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. West Martin
Luther King Jr. Blvd is a partially improved Regional Link -High Activity street with
asphalt paving, curb and gutter. The area also has frontage along W. Ozark Trail.
Planning Commission
April 26,2021
Agenda Item 13
RZN-21-000039 Hoskins
Page 1 of 15
W. Ozark Trail is a partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving
and open ditches. Any street improvements required in these areas would be
determined at the time of development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. Existing 12-inch water main is present
on the south side of W. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. and an existing 8-inch water
main is present along the north Side of West Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. There is
also an existing 2.25-inch water main present along North side of W. Ozark Trail.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject area. Existing 6-inch sanitary sewer main
is present on the south side of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and an existing 6-
inch sanitary sewer main in the middle of W. Ozark Trail.
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 #6, located at 900 S. Hollywood Ave. protects this site. The property is
located approximately 2.1 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time
of approximately 6 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 8.2 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.
Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at
time of development. No portion of the property is within the Hillside -Hilltop Overlay
District. The property does not lie within a FEMA floodplain, nor is there a protected
stream in the area. There are no hydric soils present on the property.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed zoning district of UT, Urban Thoroughfare requires 15% minimum
canopy preservation. The current zoning district of R-A, Residential- Agricultural
requires 25% minimum canopy preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates
the property within the proposed rezone as City Neighborhood Area.
City Neighborhood Areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and
provide a mix of non-residential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest
spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single family to multi -family.
Non-residential and commercial uses are primarily located at street intersections and along major
corridors. Ideally, commercial uses would have a residential component and vary in size, variety
and intensity. The street network should have a high number of intersections creating a system
of small blocks with a high level of connectivity between neighborhoods. Building setbacks and
landscaping are urban in form with street trees typically being located within the sidewalk zone.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for this site,
with a weighted score also of 6. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
Planning Commission

Agenda Item 13

Page 2 of 15
• Adequate Fire Response (Station #6, Located at 900 S. Hollywood Avenue)
• Near Sewer Main (W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Ozark Trail)
• Near Water Main (W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Ozark Trail)
• Near City Park (Centennial Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Rupple Road side -path trail)
• Appropriate Future Land Use (City Neighborhood)
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: Staff finds that the request to rezone the property
to UT, Urban Thoroughfare may be out of scale with the surrounding land
uses. At present, the property is surrounded by low -density residential on
three sides, with commercial uses across the street. Staff recognizes that
much of the zoning in the near vicinity is for higher intensity uses, with
several acres of UT zoning at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd
and Rupple Road, and CS zoning across Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd to the
north. However, many of the traffic -generating uses permitted by -right in UT
zoning may not be immediately compatible with the low -density residential
neighborhood at the property's rear, such as the permitted automotive uses
and large-scale shopping centers that are permitted by right in the UT zoning
district. Additionally, while UT allows for residential uses, it allows for a
maximum building height of up to 7 stories, which might also be out of scale
with the surrounding context, again, especially considering the property's
additional frontage along Ozark Trail, and adjacency to the City of
Farmington. Staff finds that the property's frontage along the state highway
and within a City Neighborhood Area certainly encourage higher density
zoning, but finds that a more fine-grained approach at this site may be more
compatible, with perhaps a consideration for CS zoning along the property's
Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd frontage, and RI-U zoning along the property's
Ozark Trail frontage, or even a consideration for CS for the entire site.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is not fully consistent
with adopted land use policies, the Future Land Use Map designation, or
goals of City Plan 2040. On the one hand, the area is designated as a City
Neighborhood Area, which does encourage a wide variety of uses and
housing types, rather than the land remaining zoned for agricultural uses.
The property is also located within a Tier 2 center according to the City's
Growth Concept Map. However, staff finds that some of the by -right uses
permitted in UT zoning may be of too high an intensity, and is better suited
for the area that is closer to the intersection of Rupple Road. Staff would
support a higher intensity zoning at this site than R-A, such as CS, or a
consideration for CS along the property's W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
frontage and RI-U for the property's Ozark Trail frontage.
A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Planning Commission
April 26.2021
Agenda Item 13
RZN-21-000039 Hoskins
Page 3 of 15
Finding: A rezone to a higher density than R-A, Residential -Agricultural is justified,
given its proximity within a Tier 2 center, and the future land use plans
designating this area as a City Neighborhood. However, staff finds the
current request to be out of scale, and would recommend a more incremental
increase on this site at this time. Staff finds that the uses, height, setback,
and bulk and area requirements of a CS zoning may be more compatible at
this location.
A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: Rezoning the property to UT could appreciably increase traffic at this site.
Staff finds that with frontage along W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., which is
a state highway with an estimated 34,000 vehicle trips per day, additional
traffic is likely to be absorbed. Staff does recognize that there is not currently
sidewalk along the property's frontage, nor along much Martin Luther King
Jr. Blvd until the intersection with Rupple Road, which does have some
added concern for the ability to create a pedestrian -friendly environment at
this location. That said, street improvements including sidewalk and
greenspace would likely be required along this property's frontage at the
time of development, which somewhat alleviates this concern.
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 to UT would certainly have the potential to
increase population density in this area at this time, given that UT allows for
multi -family dwellings and other residential uses not currently permitted in
R-A. While the available infrastructure, water and sewer, and the service
volume of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive would likely support an increase
in residences, staff's concerns about the current requested zoning district
are more related to the compatibility of auto -related uses within close
proximity not only to the border of Farmington but to the surrounding low -
density residences surrounding the property. The school district did not
offer any comment on the proposal.
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

Rezoning Statement, W. Martin Luther King, Jr Blvd -
Paradigm Development Enterprises Inc. requests the rezoning of County Parcel
#765-16311-000, containing 1.38 acres more or less, from the current RA zoning
to Urban Thoroughfare.
Over many years this area of Fayetteville and neighboring, Farmington has grown
around this property and the usage has organically changed to the point that it is
not viable to maintain the current residential zoning. The reason for this request
is to move the property to a zoning that now represents the land's highest and
best use potential along U.S. Highway 62.
The proposed rezoning is bordered by U.S. Highway 62/W. Martin Luther King
BLVD to the North, single family residences to the immediate east and west in
areas that are converting to commercial uses. The site is bordered on the South
by West Ozark Trail accessing existing older residential properties. Across U.S.
Highway 62/W. Martin Luther King BLVD to the North are both new and existing
commercial use properties and represent the future growth along this main
transportation artery. The parcel is located within an area of CS, UT and RMF
zoning along U.S. Highway 62/W. Martin Luther King BLVD. Therefore, the
proposed rezoning is compatible for the area.
Though the local infrastructure is more than adequate, due to the relatively small
size of the parcel, any large scale commercial development would not be possible
and therefore the proposed zoning would not appreciably increase traffic or
impact surrounding properties.
Thank you,
Paradigm Development Enterprises, Inc.

Subject: Proposed rezoning of 1.3 acres on MLK and Ozark Trail
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
My name is Carol Gregory, and I am writing on behalf of my parents James Leon Gregory and Helen Gregory who reside
at 4333 Ozark Trail in Fayetteville directly to the south of the proposed rezoning, referred to above. The parcel in
question is surrounded on three sides by single-family residences. After communicating with Jessie at the city on a
couple of occasions and based on a conversation with Mr. Tracy Hoskins of Paradigm Development, I believe I have been
able to convey to my elderly parents how the proposed rezoning would likely affect them and their single residence
home.
My parents and I are concerned about three key issues: 1) the negative effect that the proposed change will have on the
value of their property, 2) their ability to continue to have the quiet enjoyment of their home, and 3) the effects that
increased traffic will have on their ability to come and go safely on Ozark Trail, since it is essentially an one lane street. It
seems beyond dispute that the proposed change from Agriculture/Residential zoning to Urban Throughfare or any other
commercial zoning will have a seriously detrimental effect on all three issues.
However, because of the lot's frontage on Martin Luther King Blvd, my parents understand that some change is likely,
eventually at least, inevitable. After communicating with Mr. Hoskins about his desired use for the property, (a small ice
cream shop and cookie store) it does seem to us that the proposed rezoning to Urban Thoroughfare is overkill, and
imposes an unnecessary burden on the surrounding single-family neighbors. My parents and I believe that a less
burdensome form or commercial zoning designation might be more appropriate, so long as the residential neighbors,
including the house at 4333 Ozark Trail are afforded a foliage buffer and privacy fencing to protect the neighboring
residential properties from the non-residential property in question. In the alternative, if no buffer is able to be afforded
to my parents on the Ozark Trail side of the parcel, then they would hope that the development on the Ozark Trail side
of the parcel would be limited to low density residential.
Your thoughtful consideration of this matter and the effects that it will have on the homes of the surrounding neighbors
is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Carol L Gregory for James Leon and Helen Gregory

Monday committee concerning rezoning if 1.3 ac. On Martin Luther King and West Ozark Trail,
Fayetteville, AR.
This is from James Leon and Helen Gregory — 4333 W. Ozark Trail. Our daughter, Carol Gregory, has
been communicating with the planning committee and Tracy Hoskins about the above rezoning. The
property in question is directly in front of our home.
We moved here twelve years ago and have enjoyed living on a quiet, dead-end street. The wild -life is
such a joy to watch and since we have woods behind our house, there is a lot of privacy and quietness.
We strongly hope you will not rezone in such a way as to allow a lot of noise and traffic. If so, we hope
for a buffer zone such as trees or shrubs or a fence. We feel that is not asking too much. We know
progress is important to any city. We are not against that but we don't want our property value
diminished because of a rezoning. We are elderly and so hope to stay here as long as we can. We love
it here.
Thank you for your consideration.
J. Leon Gregory and Helen Gregory
