OLD FARMINGTON RD./STRICKLIN, 557): Submitted by HARRISON FRENCH & ASSOCIATES, INC. for property located at 3220 W. OLD FARMINGTON RD. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTRURAL & RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 20.40 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and City staff 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 on the south slope of Millsap Mountain and north side of W. Old Farmington Road. The site slopes downward from its northern boundary to the two small ponds located roughly halfway to W. Old Farmington Road to the south. Between these ponds and Old Farmington Road, the site becomes more level. Approximately six to seven acres of the property's northern extent is designated as Hillside -Hilltop Overlay District in association with the terrain and tree canopy present. Another site characteristic includes a protected, unnamed tributary of the Farmington Branch which runs parallel to the western property line. In 2019, a request to rezone the property to NS-G, Neighborhood Services, General, was proposed. Staff recommended denial and the Commission expressed concerns that prompted the applicant to ultimately table the request indefinitely. Request: The request is to rezone the property from R-A, Residential Agricultural and RSF-4, Residential Single-family, Four Units per Acre to RSF-8, Residential Single-family, Eight Units per Acre. The applicant has not submitted development plans for the property, though the request letter says the intent of the rezone is to allow a cluster housing development. The applicant suggests a conditional use permit to that effect would follow a successful rezoning. Public Comment: Staff received one phone call inquiry about the proposal, but the member of the public did not issue any specific comments or concerns with the request. No comment was made at the Planning Commission hearing. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding land use pattern of the area. Uses immediately adjacent to the subject area are primarily single-family residences. An approved cluster housing development borders the subject to the east and is under construction. Further away, but within a quarter mile, a wide array of commercial and recreational uses would be easily accessible to potential residents. Centennial Park, multiple grocery stores, various retail, restaurant, and institutional services can be accessed along the W. Martin Luther King Jr. corridor. Staff finds the request to rezone to RSF-8 would incrementally increase the permitted density at a location that has outgrown the allowances of the current R-A and RSF-4 designation. Historic aerial imagery suggests the property has not been used for agricultural uses in several decades. Nearby services, infrastructure available to the site, and proximity to transit reinforce staff's opinion that additional residential density is warranted at this location. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is generally consistent with adopted land use policies, the Future Land Use Map designation, and goals of City Plan 2040. The subject area is designated as a Residential Neighborhood Area, which calls for a mix of housing types in appropriate areas. While the single -use nature of the district is not consistent with the aims of the future land use designation, the single-family zoning district will help to ensure that development of the site is of an appropriate scale and context with the adjoining properties. Additionally, the lower density permitted by RSF-8 may afford more sensitive development of the property with respect to the terrain. An alternative could be a concentration of greater density and permitted uses towards the middle of the site, affording reasonable infill near a wide range of amenities and services, while also assuring limited impact on the hillside. The infill score of the site varies from low to moderate. The lowest scoring area follows the west end of the property, near the protected stream and the highest scoring areas are located south near W. Old Farmington Road. The property is located between two Tier 2 Centers; approximately a half -mile to the east at 1-49 and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and approximately three-quarters of a mile to the west at S. Rupple Road and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates 3-7 attributes for this site that may contribute to appropriate infill. The variance is largely due to the property's size and depth extending from W. Old Farmington Road. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: • Adequate Fire Response (Station #6, 990 S. Hollywood Avenue) • Near Sewer Main (6" north of W. Old Farmington Road) • Near Water Main (6-inch main north of W. Old Farmington Road) • Near Grocery Store (Walmart, ALDI, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) • Near City Park (Centennial Park, Finger Park) • Near Paved Trail (Shiloh Trail) • Razorback Transit Stop (Route 44, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) DISCUSSION: At the October 11, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 9-0-0 forwarded the request to City Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Sparkman made the motion and Commissioner Belden seconded. Discussion largely revolved around the location's appropriateness for development juxtaposed with some potentially sensitive natural elements, like the slope and onsite stream. Others noted that past projects have elicited public comment about drainage problems and the adequacy of Old Farmington Road for growing traffic volumes. Commissioner Belden opined that the City appears to be awaiting piecemeal private development to address infrastructure adequacy, which may not resolve area problems. Overall, Commissioners felt the abundance of nearby amenities and services justified the request. As noted above, no public comment was made at the meeting.

CITY OF ti FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission THRU: Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director FROM: Ryan Umberger, Senior Planner MEETING DATE: October 11, 2021 SUBJECT: RZN-2021-000072: Rezone (3220 W. OLD FARMINGTON RD./STRICKLIN, 557): Submitted by HARRISON FRENCH & ASSOCIATES, INC. for property located at 3220 W. OLD FARMINGTON RD. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTRURAL & RSF- 4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 20.40 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to RSF- 8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN-2021-000072 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval, based on the findings herein. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to forward RZN-2021-000072 to City Council with a recommendation for approval." BACKGROUND: The subject property is located on the south slope of Millsap Mountain and north side of W. Old Farmington Road. The site slopes rapidly downward from its northern boundary to the two small ponds located roughly halfway to W. Old Farmington Road to the south. Between these ponds and Old Farmington Road, the site becomes more level. Approximately six to seven acres of the property's northern extent is designated as Hillside -Hilltop Overlay District in association with the steep terrain and significant tree canopy present. Other site characteristics include a protected, unnamed tributary of the Farmington Branch which runs parallel to the western property line. Surrounding land use and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

The applicant has not submitted development plans for the property, though the request letter says the intent of the rezone is to allow a cluster housing development. The applicant suggests a conditional use permit to that effect would follow a successful rezoning. Public Comment. Staff has received one phone call inquiry about the proposal, but the member of the public did not issue any specific comments or concerns with the request. INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Streets: The subject area has frontage along W. Old Farmington Road. W. Old Farmington Road 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. An existing 6-inch water main is present on the north side of W. Old Farmington Road. Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject area. An existing 6-inch water main is present on the north side of W. Old Farmington Road. 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 990 S. Hollywood Avenue, protects this site. The property is located approximately 1.2 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of approximately 4 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time would be approximately 6.2 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: A portion of the subject area lies within the Hillside Hilltop Overlay District (HHOD), a FEMA floodplain, has hydric soils, and a protected stream is present in the area. A portion of the subject area is within the Hillside Hilltop Overlay District (HHOD). The presence of the HHOD will apply additional restrictions at the time of development. Engineered footing designs will be required at the time of building permit submittal, as well as grading, erosion control and abbreviated tree preservation plans. The portion of the subject area within the FEMA floodplain will necessitate a floodplain development review at the time of permit or plan submittal. This will restrict the type of development and impact allowed in flood zones, and may require additional documentation such as flood studies or elevation certificates depending on the type of development. If a development impacts a floodplain, those impacts may require review and approval from FEMA. Floodplain is present through a slim depression that roughly follows the unnamed tributary of the Farmington Branch near the west property line. Hydric soils are also present on the subject property. They are a known indicator Planning Commission October 11, 2021 Agenda Item 10 RZN 21-000072 Stricklin Page 2 of 18 of wetlands. However, for an area to be classified as wetlands, it may also need other characteristics such as hydrophytes (plants that grow in water), and shallow water during parts of the year. Hydric Soils can be found across many areas of Fayetteville, including valleys, floodplains, and open prairies. It is important to identify these natural resources during development, so when these soils are identified on a property, further environmental studies will be required at the time of development. Before permits will be issued for the property a statement/report from an environmental professional must be provided summarizing the existence of wetlands on the property. If this statement/report indicates that wetlands may be present on site, a USACE Determination of Jurisdictional Wetlands will be required at the time of development submittal. Hydric soils are present throughout the entirety of the subject property. A protected stream is present in the subject area. Streamside Protection Zones generally consist of a protected area on each side of a stream or creek. This protected area is meant to preserve woody vegetation and natural areas along stream corridors to improve/protect stream health. At a minimum, the protected area will be 50 feet wide as measured from the top of bank but, depending on the shape and extent of the floodway, it could be substantially more. Certain construction activities such as trails and some utilities are allowed in these zones, but in general, improvements such as parking lots or buildings are prohibited. The streamside protection area is present on the west side of the subject property. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development. Tree Preservation: The proposed zoning district of RSF-8, Residential Single-family, Eight Units per Acre requires 20% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning districts of R-A, Residential -Agricultural and RSF-4, Residential Single-family, Four Units per Acre require 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 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 ranging score of 3-7 for this site, with a weighted score of 8. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score: Adequate Fire Response (Station #6, 990 S. Hollywood Avenue) Planning Commission October 11, 2021 Agenda Item 10 RZN 21-000072 Stricklin Page 3 of 18 • Near Sewer Main (6" north of W. Old Farmington Road) • Near Water Main (6-inch main north of W. Old Farmington Road) • Near Grocery Store (Walmart, ALDI, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) • Near City Park (Centennial Park, Finger Park) • Near Paved Trail (Shiloh Trail) • Razorback Transit Stop (Route 44, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) 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 land use pattern of the area. Uses immediately adjacent to the subject area are primarily single-family residences. An approved cluster housing development borders the subject to the east and is under construction. Further away, but within a quarter mile, a wide array of commercial and recreational uses would be easily accessible to potential residents. Centennial Park, multiple grocery stores, various retail, restaurant, and institutional services can be accessed along the W. Martin Luther King Jr. corridor. Staff finds the request to rezone to RSF-8 would incrementally increase the permitted density at a location that has outgrown the allowances of the current R-A and RSF-4 designation. Nearby services, infrastructure available to the site, and proximity to transit reinforce staff's opinion that additional residential density is warranted at this location. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is generally consistent with adopted land use policies, the Future Land Use Map designation, and goals of City Plan 2040. The subject area is designated as a Residential Neighborhood Area, which calls for a mix of housing types in appropriate areas.

The infill score of the site varies from low to moderate. The lowest scoring area follows the west end of the property, near the protected stream and the highest scoring areas are located south near W. Old Farmington Road. The property is located between two Tier 2 Centers; approximately a half -mile to the east at 1-49 and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and approximately three-quarters of a mile to the west at S. Rupple Road and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: Staff finds a rezone from R-A and RSF-4 to RSF-8 is appropriate and justified Planning Commission October 11, 2021 Agenda Item 10 RZN 21-000072 Stricklin Page 4 of 18 for the property. Rezoning to RSF-8 provides an incremental increase in residential density to an area that is currently experiencing both growth and development pressure and situated with convenient access to goods, services, and amenities. Rezoning contributes to Goals 1, 3, and 4 of City Plan 2040. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: Rezoning the property to RSF-8 is likely to appreciably increase traffic at this site. That said, staff finds the property's situation near retail services, recreational facilities, and a Razorback Transit stop offers alternatives to vehicular transportation. Vehicle traffic would likely access W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at its intersection with S. One Mile Road which is a signalized intersection. W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is a Regional High -Activity Link Street which has a designed service volume of 17,600 vehicles per day. The intersection is within a half mile of the interchange with 1-49. Finally, any development to the site would require improvements to the property's frontage along W. Old Farmington Road which helps alleviate concern about traffic increases. 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 to RSF-8 has an associated potential to increase the population density at this location. The property currently has direct access to sanitary sewer and water so staff finds an undesirable burden would not be placed on public services. Fayetteville Public Schools did not comment on the request. 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-2021-000072 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval.

Planning Commission October 11, 2021 Agenda Item 10 RZN 21-000072 Stricklin Page 13 of 18 To: City of Fayetteville — Planning Department From: Harrison French & Associates Date: August 31, 2021 Subject: Old Farmington Rezone Dear Planning Commission, HFA is requesting a rezoning of 20.40 acres, located at 3220 W Old Farmington Road, Fayetteville, AR, parcel 765-14759-000. The site currently exists as mostly R-A, with some RSF-4. The property is vacant except for a single -story home. We are requesting to rezone this site to RSF-8. The intent of the rezone is to allow a cluster housing development similar to the one currently under construction east of this property. The property will also require a Conditional Use Permit that would follow this zoning request, if approved. The Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Residential Neighborhood. We believe this rezone is in keeping with that as a single-family zoning district. The property is less than half a mile from the intersection of 1-49 and Hwy 62, both major traffic corridors for the City. The property is also less than 200' from Commercial District zoning and 800' from Lowes and Wal-Mart. RSF-8 Cluster Housing will serve as a good transition from the high intensity uses along Hwy 62 and Centennial Park to the north. It is also the intent to preserve some of the Hillside as we get to the steeper portions of the property, while also incorporating trail connections to the park for circulation. We look forward to discussing this rezone proposal with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
