Planned Zoning District 3 of 12
Scope & Concept
Riverside Village will be a conservation -style subdivision, located along the West Fork of the White River. The
unique environmental features of the site formed the layout of the lots and streets. These include a Corp
regulated stream that bisects the site, two non -regulated streams along the north property line, dense
vegetation along the river and the floodplain of the river.
The project consists of approximately 244 single-family lots, as well as a future commercial/office lot at the
north entrance. Homes along Black Oak Road will be set back from the road, providing a large greenspace area
that provides privacy for the homes, as well as an area for outdoor recreation. Other homes will face onto tree
preservation areas and will be provided with front -door access to the walking trails. Two areas within the site
will be developed with cluster housing with shared parking.
Greenspace and outdoor recreation are the defining elements of this development plan. There will be
approximately 17 acres of greenspace within the residential portion of the project and another 33 acres of
open space that will be dedicated for a public park. In total, half of the entire property will be retained as
greenspace and natural area. In addition to these valuable assets, residents will have access to several
thousand feet of walking trails, including trail access to the banks of the river.
While this property is located south of Commerce Park, the area is very quiet, with several existing homes on
the west side of Black Oak Road. The project has been designed with large vegetative buffers along Black Oak
Road, to provide privacy for the homes facing Black Oak, and to provide a buffer from properties on the west
side of the road. A very large buffer has also been provided on the north side of the project, to separate it
from existing, non-residential land uses.
The Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as an Industrial Area, so the proposed, mixed -use
project is not consistent with the Future Land Use Map. However, adding additional industrial uses across
from several existing homes is not consistent or compatible with the existing land uses in the area. Nor is an
industrial use of the property appropriate given the existing environmental resources. Further, there are
multiple, undeveloped, industrial parcels within Commerce Park that have been vacate for decades.
The fact is, Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas as a region need more housing. Specifically, housing that is
priced for modest wage earners. According to Our Housing Future: A Call to Action for Northwest Arkansas,
which was prepared by the Walton Family Foundation, there are nearly 80,000 families projected to move to
Northwest Arkansas' four largest cities by 2040. Approximately half of the new homes that will be needed
must serve workforce households earning $33,000-$78,000. The City of Fayetteville can impact certain
housing, particularly by financially supporting institutions and non -profits. However, none of the cities in the
region can meet the overwhelming demand for new housing, particular at an affordable price point. This must
be addressed by the private sector. This development provides an opportunity to provide new housing, in a
location that is convenient to jobs, downtown, the trail system, and will provide outdoor recreational
opportunities for residents.

Planned Zoning District 6 of 12
Purpose
The purpose of using the Planned Zoning District ordinance, is to allow flexibility in the application of zoning standards,
so that this property can be developed based on the unique site conditions instead of the constraints of a basic zoning
district. As described throughout this application, the subdivision has been laid out to account for the major
environmental features, so that hardscapes are in harmony with the softscapes. The development provides a variety of
housing types, provides for future nonresidential uses, and multi -family uses, and places homes in walking distance of
major employers.
The layout also preserves approximately 35 acres of property along the West Fork of the White River. This will include an
approximately 5-acre public park and an additional 30 acres of park property that will be dedicated to the City. We are
also actively working with the Trails Department to connect the development to the extension of the Saint Paul Trail.
Working together with staff, we will be able to preserve large areas of open space and natural features that will be
beneficial to both the homes owners and the public.
Architectural Standards
Development in Planning Area A will comply with the design standards in Chapter 166.23 Urban Residential Design
Standards, or Chapter 166.24 Nonresidential Design Standards. Lots with less than 50 feet of street frontage in Planning
Area B shall comply with Chapter 164.23 Small Lot Design Standards.
Cluster Housing
Two areas will be devoted to a cluster housing development plan. The first area is located close to the stream that
bisects the property and will include a small trail extension that provides a mid -block access to the north. A small
parking lot will be provided for these homes and the homes will face towards a public street with a large green space in
front of the homes. The second cluster area will be near the entrance to the park. These units will have a narrow, one -
Planned Zoning District 7 of 12
way parking lot that will be screened from the street with landscaping and a short fence. These units will all face towards
a common green that will be shared space for the residents. A smaller trail will connect these units together and provide
a connection back to the park entrance. Cluster housing will comply with Chapter 164.22 Cluster Housing Development.
Parks
The Parks Department has indicated that they have plans for improving Combs Park, which will be directly north of the
35 acres of park land that we will dedicate to the city. The park will be mainly a nature park, since it's running along the
White River. Long term plans include a hard surface trail following the river. Additionally, there will be nature trails along
the river. The open space on the east side of Riverside Village will provide the Parks Department with an opportunity to
provide a variety of recreational uses, based on input from the public.
Trails
Trails will be an important focus within this development. For the units that face out onto common property, these trails
will be the pedestrian access to the front of the homes. Further, the trail system will provide a pedestrian linkage
between every resident and the planned park. Two additional mid -block trail sections will be constructed to offer more
walking -route options. All trails will be 8-10 feet wide and constructed with either asphalt or concrete.
Landscaping and Screening
A landscape plan shall be submitted to the City during the preliminary plat The plans will be designed to
enhance the appearance of both the development and the Black Oak roadway frontage.
Development Area "A": The commercial property shall be developed in accordance with Chapter 177 of the
Unified Development Code.
Development Area "B": The residential property shall be developed in accordance with Chapter 177 of the
Unified Development Code.
Tree preservation and removal shall be governed by the standards of Chapter 167 of the Unified Development
Code.
Planned Zoning District 8 of 12
Grading and Utility Plans
Site grading and utility plans shall be submitted for review during the design phase of the development. All
utilities are available to serve this development, including water and sewer. Drainage plans shall be prepared
in accordance with City engineering requirements.
City Department Requirements
Unless specified otherwise within the PUD document, the development of this property shall be in compliance
with other local, state and federal requirements, including those of the Fire Department and City Engineer.
Streets
Streets shall be constructed in accordance with City regulations.
Parking
Two car garages will be provided with each dwelling unit except for the cottage units, which will have parking
areas to serve each of the units. Due to the unique design, with many homes fronting common property
instead of public streets, parking pods have been provided throughout the site to allow for guest parking when
needed. This will be in addition to on -street parking that will be allowed.
Restrictive Covenants
Restrictive covenants shall be adopted and recorded for the PUD with the subdivision plat. The maintenance
of all common areas, including parks and entrances shall be the responsibility of the Homes Owners
Association, or by the Fayetteville Parks Department, depending on final ownership.
Signage
Commercial signs shall be permitted in accordance with the standards of R-0, Residential Office regulations.
Residential subdivision entrance signs shall be permitted along Black Oak Road, in accordance with the sign
regulations for RSF regulations.
Phasing
Development will commence upon approval of the PUD, preliminary plat and construction plans, in
accordance with City regulations. The development of each phase is subject to changes in market conditions,
but will generally follow the schedule outlined below:
Phase 1: 2022
Phase 2: 2023
Phase 3: 2024
Phase 4: 202S
Development of the residential areas should occur in 3-5 phase. The commercial area will likely be developed
during one the above phasing schedules. However, market conditions could expedite development or result in
the commercial area being developed at a later date.

Planned Zoning District 3 of 12
Scope & Concept
Riverside Village will be a conservation -style subdivision, located along the West Fork of the White River. The
unique environmental features of the site formed the layout of the lots and streets. These include a Corp
regulated stream that bisects the site, two non -regulated streams along the north property line, dense
vegetation along the river and the floodplain of the river.
The project consists of approximately 244 single-family lots, as well as a future commercial/office lot at the
north entrance. Homes along Black Oak Road will be set back from the road, providing a large greenspace area
that provides privacy for the homes, as well as an area for outdoor recreation. Other homes will face onto tree
preservation areas and will be provided with front -door access to the walking trails. Two areas within the site
will be developed with cluster housing with shared parking.
Greenspace and outdoor recreation are the defining elements of this development plan. There will be
approximately 17 acres of greenspace within the residential portion of the project and another 33 acres of
open space that will be dedicated for a public park. In total, half of the entire property will be retained as
greenspace and natural area. In addition to these valuable assets, residents will have access to several
thousand feet of walking trails, including trail access to the banks of the river.
While this property is located south of Commerce Park, the area is very quiet, with several existing homes on
the west side of Black Oak Road. The project has been designed with large vegetative buffers along Black Oak
Road, to provide privacy for the homes facing Black Oak, and to provide a buffer from properties on the west
side of the road. A very large buffer has also been provided on the north side of the project, to separate it
from existing, non-residential land uses.
The Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as an Industrial Area, so the proposed, mixed -use
project is not consistent with the Future Land Use Map. However, adding additional industrial uses across
from several existing homes is not consistent or compatible with the existing land uses in the area. Nor is an
industrial use of the property appropriate given the existing environmental resources. Further, there are
multiple, undeveloped, industrial parcels within Commerce Park that have been vacate for decades.
The fact is, Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas as a region need more housing. Specifically, housing that is
priced for modest wage earners. According to Our Housing Future: A Call to Action for Northwest Arkansas,
which was prepared by the Walton Family Foundation, there are nearly 80,000 families projected to move to
Northwest Arkansas' four largest cities by 2040. Approximately half of the new homes that will be needed
must serve workforce households earning $33,000-$78,000. The City of Fayetteville can impact certain
housing, particularly by financially supporting institutions and non -profits. However, none of the cities in the
region can meet the overwhelming demand for new housing, particular at an affordable price point. This must
be addressed by the private sector. This development provides an opportunity to provide new housing, in a
location that is convenient to jobs, downtown, the trail system, and will provide outdoor recreational
opportunities for residents.

P";rp,0S
The purpose of using the Planned Zoning District ordinance, is to allow flexibility in the application of zoning standards,
so that this property can be developed based on the unique site conditions instead of the constraints of a basic zoning
district. As described throughout this application, the subdivision has been laid out to account for the major
environmental features, so that hardscapes are in harmony with the softscapes. The development provides a variety of
housing types, provides for future nonresidential uses, and multi -family uses, and places homes in walking distance of
major employers.
The layout also preserves approximately 35 acres of property along the West Fork of the White River. This will include an
approximately 5-acre public park and an additional 30 acres of park property that will be dedicated to the City. We are
also actively working with the Trails Department to connect the development to the extension of the Saint Paul Trail.
Working together with staff, we will be able to preserve large areas of open space and natural features that will be
beneficial to both the homes owners and the public.
Chiral Styndards
Development in Planning Area A will comply with the design standards in Chapter 166.23 Urban Residential Design
Standards, or Chapter 166.24 Nonresidential Design Standards. Lots with less than 50 feet of street frontage in Planning
Area B shall comply with Chapter 164.23 Small Lot Design Standards.
Cu fe OLl roll
Two areas will be devoted to a cluster housing development plan. The first area is located close to the stream that
bisects the property and will include a small trail extension that provides a mid -block access to the north. A small
parking lot will be provided for these homes and the homes will face towards a public street with a large green space in
front of the homes. The second cluster area will be near the entrance to the park. These units will have a narrow, one -
Planned Zoning District 7 of 12
way parking lot that will be screened from the street with landscaping and a short fence. These units will all face towards
a common green that will be shared space for the residents. A smaller trail will connect these units together and provide
a connection back to the park entrance. Cluster housing will comply with Chapter 164.22 Cluster Housing Development.
Parks
The Parks Department has indicated that they have plans for improving Combs Park, which will be directly north of the
35 acres of park land that we will dedicate to the city. The park will be mainly a nature park, since it's running along the
White River. Long term plans include a hard surface trail following the river. Additionally, there will be nature trails along
the river. The open space on the east side of Riverside Village will provide the Parks Department with an opportunity to
provide a variety of recreational uses, based on input from the public.
Trails
Trails will be an important focus within this development. For the units that face out onto common property, these trails
will be the pedestrian access to the front of the homes. Further, the trail system will provide a pedestrian linkage
between every resident and the planned park. Two additional mid -block trail sections will be constructed to offer more
walking -route options. All trails will be 8-10 feet wide and constructed with either asphalt or concrete.
Landscaping and Screening
A landscape plan shall be submitted to the City during the preliminary plat The plans will be designed to
enhance the appearance of both the development and the Black Oak roadway frontage.
Development Area "A": The commercial property shall be developed in accordance with Chapter 177 of the
Unified Development Code.
Development Area "B": The residential property shall be developed in accordance with Chapter 177 of the
Unified Development Code.
Tree preservation and removal shall be governed by the standards of Chapter 167 of the Unified Development
Code.
Planned Zoning District 8 of 12
Grading and Utility Plans
Site grading and utility plans shall be submitted for review during the design phase of the development. All
utilities are available to serve this development, including water and sewer. Drainage plans shall be prepared
in accordance with City engineering requirements.
City Department Requirements
Unless specified otherwise within the PUD document, the development of this property shall be in compliance
with other local, state and federal requirements, including those of the Fire Department and City Engineer.
Streets
Streets shall be constructed in accordance with City regulations.
Parking
Two car garages will be provided with each dwelling unit except for the cottage units, which will have parking
areas to serve each of the units. Due to the unique design, with many homes fronting common property
instead of public streets, parking pods have been provided throughout the site to allow for guest parking when
needed. This will be in addition to on -street parking that will be allowed.
Restrictive Covenants
Restrictive covenants shall be adopted and recorded for the PUD with the subdivision plat. The maintenance
of all common areas, including parks and entrances shall be the responsibility of the Homes Owners
Association, or by the Fayetteville Parks Department, depending on final ownership.
Signage
Commercial signs shall be permitted in accordance with the standards of R-O, Residential Office regulations.
Residential subdivision entrance signs shall be permitted along Black Oak Road, in accordance with the sign
regulations for RSF regulations.
Phasing
Development will commence upon approval of the PUD, preliminary plat and construction plans, in
accordance with City regulations. The development of each phase is subject to changes in market conditions,
but will generally follow the schedule outlined below:
Phase 1: 2022
Phase 2: 2023
Phase 3: 2024
Phase 4: 2025
Development of the residential areas should occur in 3-S phase. The commercial area will likely be developed
during one the above phasing schedules. However, market conditions could expedite development or result in
the commercial area being developed at a later date.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: RPZD-2021-000004: Residential Planned Zoning District (SOUTH OF 2936 S.
BLACK OAK RD./RIVERSIDE VILLAGE, 682/683): Submitted by RAUSCH
COLEMAN HOMES, INC. for properties located SOUTH OF 2936 S. BLACK OAK
RD. The properties are in the FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING AREA and contain
approximately 101.77 acres. The request is to rezone the properties, once
annexed, from R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL to RPZD, RESIDENTIAL
PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of RPZD-2021-000004 as shown in the
attached Exhibits `A' and `B'.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in south Fayetteville off S. Black Oak Road, immediately south of Combs
Park. The subject property is composed of four parcels, encompassing approximately 101.77
acres, that lie within unincorporated Washington County. An associated annexation request
(ANX-2021-000003) is under consideration to incorporate the subject property. In terms of the
natural features of the site, the property is undeveloped with most of the tree canopy present near
the West Fork White River which generally forms the east boundary of the subject property. The
eastern extent of property is encumbered by the floodway and floodplain of the river. An unnamed
protected tributary of the West Fork White River is present in the northeast quadrant of the
property.
Proposal: The applicant requests to rezone the property to a Residential Planned Zoning District
(RPZD) with two planning areas, described as follows:
Development Area A — 2.20 acres: This planning
nature with allowances for the following Use Units:
0 1, City-wide Uses by Right
0 13, Eating Places
0 15, Neighborhood Shopping
0 25, Offices
0 26, Multi -Family
area is intended to be commercial in
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
0 40, Sidewalk Cafes
0 46, Short Term Rental.
Setbacks include a front build -to zone 10-25 feet interior to the front property line and no
setbacks on the side or rear, except when adjacent to a single-family, in which case the
setbacks will be 15-feet. The applicant proposes a maximum building height of three
stories and a minimum lot width of 18 feet. Other zoning and development requirements
defer to the standards established in the CS zoning district.
Development Area B — 97.80 acres: This planning area is intended to be residential and
parkland/greenspace in nature with allowances for the following Use Units:
0 1, City-wide Uses by Right
0 8, Single -Family
0 9, Two -Family
0 10, Three and Four Family
0 41, Accessory Dwellings
0 46, Short Term Rentals
The applicant proposes a maximum of 250 residential lots and suggests the development
will be a conservation -style subdivision formed to the natural features of the area. They
propose approximately 17 acres of greenspace and an additional 33 acres of open space
to be dedicated for a public park. Setbacks are a front build -to zone 0-25 feet interior to
the front property line, five feet on the sides and rear, or 12-feet on the rear when
measured from the centerline of an alley. The applicant proposes a maximum building
height of two stories and 35 feet. Minimum lot widths and sizes are 40 feet and 4,000
square feet, respectively, which aligns with the NC, Neighborhood Conservation zoning
district. Lots fronting greenspaces and trails will not have direct street frontage but instead
40 feet of width measured along the greenspace, allowing housing to face these areas. A
density limitation is not proposed.
Two areas are identified for a cluster housing development plan. The first area is located
close to the stream that bisects the property and will include a small trail extension that
provides a mid -block access to the north. A small parking lot will be provided for these
homes and the homes will face towards a public street with a large green space in front of
the homes. The second cluster area will be near the entrance to the park. These units will
have a narrow, one- way parking lot that will be screened from the street with landscaping
and a short fence. These units will all face towards a common green that will be shared
space for the residents. A smaller trail will connect these units together and provide a
connection back to the park entrance. Cluster housing will comply with Chapter 164.22
Cluster Housing Development.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds that the proposal is generally compatible with surrounding land
uses. The area is almost entirely undeveloped to the east, south and west of the subject property.
Those areas reside in unincorporated Washington County. Though generally rural in nature, the
proposal introduces a residential development near employment centers and a City park. North
of the property, in incorporated City limits are facilities for Black Hills, Lift It Moving and Storage,
and those formerly occupied by Superior Industries Inc. Combs Park also abuts the property to
the north. Development Area A would add roughly 2.2 acres of commercial or mixed -use property
to the area. The presence of nearby services helps create a walkable neighborhood in an area
that might otherwise be entirely vehicle dependent. Alley -loaded residences which require front
build -to -zones instead of setbacks contribute toward creating an urban, pedestrian -friendly feel.
In terms of the natural features of the site, the proposed development is contextually sensitive to
its environment. Development is proposed to be concentrated in a way that leaves the eastern
third of the property, the area immediately south of Combs Park, undisturbed. Greenspace and
tree preservation areas are intermittently dispersed throughout the development along a protected
stream and two non -regulated streams near the north property line. Greenspaces are proposed
to be activated with walking trails which would ultimately connect to a proposed extension of the
White River West off-street trail. While the development is beyond the periphery of City limits,
staff finds the proposal would create a complete and connected neighborhood in an area that
might otherwise be typified by suburban sprawl. On the other hand, regional access to the further
extents of the City would likely be limited to vehicular travel. The nearest school is Happy Hollow
Elementary which is nearly three miles north of the proposed development. The nearest grocery
store is further removed, with the Walmart Neighborhood Market at 660 W. Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is mostly inconsistent with the Future Land
Use Map designation for the area and the City's adopted land use policies. The majority of the
site is called out as an Industrial Area which is reserved for uses that could be considered a
nuisance and require separation from other uses. Small portions of the site, along the river to the
east, are designated as Natural Areas. The proposed development does not meet the intent of
the Industrial Area designation which can be used to recruit and encourage new industry to locate
in Fayetteville. The future land use designation, though, suggests green technologies and other
remedial techniques should be taken to minimize noise, air, and water pollution. Staff finds the
RPZD to be a more suitable transition to an area with significant ecological value. The proposed
development meets the intent of the Natural Area designation in that those areas are to remain
undeveloped. While Fayetteville does not include an adopted definition or standards for a
conservation subdivision, the proposed RPZD could be construed as an example of one.
Conservation subdivisions are specifically called out by the Natural Area future land use
designation as a preferred development type. When considering if the development meets the
goals in City Plan 2040 staff finds the proposal to be mixed. The infill score for this site is very
low, which counters stated Goal #1 in City Plan 2040 Goal which is to make infill development a
priority. Conversely, proximate employment centers and recreational facilities contribute toward
meeting Goal #3, making compact and connected development the standard. Staff also finds that
the urban design considerations on the site, such as the use of build -to -zones rather than front
setbacks, alley -loaded development, and the addition of mixed -use services would meet the intent
of Goal #4 to grow a livable transportation network. The Master Street Plan, however, does
classify S. Black Oak Road as a Neighborhood Link Street, which calls for a design service volume
of 6000 vehicle trips per day, indicating that future development could be absorbed should the
street be redeveloped to those standards. Finally, regarding Goal #6 and the Enduring Green
Network, the proposal pays much heed to protecting some of the most sensitive portions of the
property, particularly in continuing the corridor along the West Fork of the White River.
On the balance of considerations, staff finds the proposed RPZD to be compatible and consistent
with existing land uses and adopted land use plans.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a varying score for the
subject property, ranging from 0-3. The elements vary by the area of the property being
considered, and include the following:
• Near Park (Combs Park)
• Near Water Main (8-inch main east of S. Black Oak Road)
• Appropriate Fire Response (Station #3, 1050 S. Happy Hollow Road)
• Near Paved Trail (St. Paul Trail)
DISCUSSION:
At the October 11, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission elected to hear both the
associated annexation and planned zoning district request in tandem. The annexation was
forwarded but the planned zoning district was tabled by the Commission until the October 25,
2021 meeting to allow time to revise the packet to create a more compatible request. In the
intervening weeks the applicant included additional residential lots, clarification on permitted uses
in each development area, diversified residential by -right uses in Development Area B, two areas
identified for cluster housing, and specifications on the proposed trail system. Two members of
the public spoke at the October 11 th meeting. The first was a representative of the sellers of the
property who supported the proposal and discussed the shortage of affordable homes in
Fayetteville. The second, a neighbor, did not indicate whether they opposed or supported the
development but urged the Commission to consider their responsibility to protect the safety,
heath, and welfare of the area.
At the October 25, 2021 Planning Commission meeting Commissioners voted to forward the item
to City Council with a recommendation of approval with a vote of 5-2-0. Commissioner Canada
made the motion and Commissioner Winston seconded. Commissioners Johnson and Garlock
voted against the proposal. Commissioners in support of the item appreciated that the proposal
would locate residences near a large employment center and deceptively close to downtown.
Commissioners in favor characterized the proposed development as workforce housing and
suggested it would improve attainable housing in the Fayetteville. Commissioners opposed to the
item cited concerns with sprawl, the remoteness of the area, environmental sensitives, and
opportunity to further concentrate residential density among the reasons for their opposition.
Commissioner Johnson felt the inclusion of Use Unit 26, Multi -family Dwellings in Development
Area B was inappropriate as well.

"I move to forward PZD-2021-000004 to City Council with a recommendation of approval, with
conditions as outlined by staff."
October 11, 2021 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
On October 11th, the item was tabled by the Planning Commission until the meeting
scheduled for October 25th. Commissioners requested that the applicant revise the PZD
packet to create a more compatible request. In the intervening weeks the applicant revised
the document to include:
• Additional residential lots;
• Clarification on permitted uses in each development area;
• Diversified residential by -right uses in Development Area B;
• Two area identified for cluster housing; and
• Trail specifications
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in south Fayetteville off S. Black Oak Road, immediately south of Combs
Park. The subject property is composed of four parcels, encompassing approximately 101.77
acres, that lie within unincorporated Washington County. An associated annexation request
(ANX-2021-000003) is under consideration to incorporate the subject property. In terms of the
natural features of the site, the property is undeveloped with most of the tree canopy present near
the West Fork White River which generally forms the east boundary of the subject property. The
eastern extent of property is encumbered by the floodway and floodplain of the river. An unnamed
protected tributary of the West Fork White River is present in the northeast quadrant of the
property. Surrounding land uses and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Proposal. The applicant requests to rezone the property to a Residential Planned Zoning District
with two planning areas, described as follows:
Development Area A — 2.20 acres: This planning area is intended to be commercial in
nature with allowances for the following Use Units:
o 1, City-wide Uses by Right
o 13, Eating Places
o 15, Neighborhood Shopping
o 25, Offices
o 26, Multi -Family
o 40, Sidewalk Cafes
o 46, Short Term Rental.
Setbacks include a front build -to zone 10-25 feet interior to the front property line and no
setbacks on the side or rear, except when adjacent to a single-family, in which case the
setbacks will be 15-feet. The applicant proposes a maximum building height of three
stories and a minimum lot width of 18 feet. Other zoning and development requirements
defer to the standards established in the CS zoning district.
Development Area B — 97.80 acres: This planning area is intended to be residential and
parkland/greenspace in nature with allowances for the following Use Units:
o 1, City-wide Uses by Right
o 8, Single -Family
o 9, Two -Family
o 10, Three and Four Family
o 41, Accessory Dwellings
o 46, Short Term Rentals
The applicant proposes a maximum of 250 residential lots and suggests the development
will be a conservation -style subdivision formed to the natural features of the area. They
propose approximately 17 acres of greenspace and an additional 33 acres of open space
to be dedicated for a public park. Setbacks are a front build -to zone 0-25 feet interior to
the front property line, five feet on the sides and rear, or 12-feet on the rear when
measured from the centerline of an alley. The applicant proposes a maximum building
height of two stories and 35 feet. Minimum lot widths and sizes are 40 feet and 4,000
square feet, respectively, which aligns with the NC, Neighborhood Conservation zoning
district. Lots fronting greenspaces and trails will not have direct street frontage but instead
40 feet of width measured along the greenspace, allowing housing to face these areas. A
density limitation is not proposed.
Two areas are identified for a cluster housing development plan. The first area is located
close to the stream that bisects the property and will include a small trail extension that
provides a mid -block access to the north. A small parking lot will be provided for these
homes and the homes will face towards a public street with a large green space in front of
the homes. The second cluster area will be near the entrance to the park. These units will
have a narrow, one- way parking lot that will be screened from the street with landscaping
and a short fence. These units will all face towards a common green that will be shared
space for the residents. A smaller trail will connect these units together and provide a
connection back to the park entrance. Cluster housing will comply with Chapter 164.22
Cluster Housing Development.
Public Comment: Two members of the public spoke at the October 11t" Planning Commission
meeting. The first was a representative of the sellers of the property who supported the proposal
and discussed the shortage of affordable homes in Fayetteville. The second, a neighbor, did not
indicate whether they opposed or supported the development but urged the Commission to
consider their responsibility to protect the safety, heath, and welfare of the area. They indicated
concerns with traffic, the presence of nearby floodplain, wildlife, and air quality and noise
associated with the adjoining industrial park.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject property has approximately 1,830 feet of frontage along the east side
of S. Black Oak Road. This road is paved and approximately 23 feet wide, but is
otherwise unimproved, and consists of open ditches on either side. Any street
improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of
development proposal. It should be anticipated that a Traffic Impact Study (TIS)
will be required at the time of development proposal. This TIS should identify
impacts to nearby streets due to increased traffic.
Water: Public water is available to the subject property. An 8-inch diameter water main is
located along the east side of S. Black Oak Road near the property's frontage.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is not available to the subject property. A main extension would be
required with a future development. The nearest sanitary sewer main is
approximately 1/4 of a mile to the northwest, at the intersection of S. Black Oak
Road and E. Borick Drive.
Drainage: A portion of the subject area lies within a FEMA floodplain, has hydric soils, and a
protected stream is present in the area. No portion of the property is located within
the Hillside -Hilltop Overlay District.
The portion of the subject area within the FEMA floodplain will necessitate the need
for 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
throughout the entirety of the subject property.
Hydric soils are also present on the subject property. They are a known indicator
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 state ment/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 east side of the subject property. Any
additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time
of development.
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.
The primary fire and EMS response for this area is covered by the Round Mountain
Fire Department (RMFD). RMFD is located approximately 7.6 miles away. The
property is also covered by the Fayetteville Fire Department under an automatic
aid agreement with RMFD. Per the agreement, if there is a reported structure fire
in this area, RMFD is dispatched as well as the Fayetteville Fire Department. The
Fayetteville Fire Department will respond with two fire companies and one
command unit. This is a reduction of fire companies that are dispatched within the
city limits of Fayetteville where five fire companies and one command unit are on
the initial dispatch of a reported structure fire. EMS calls, service calls or other
emergency calls types in this area will only get the response of RMFD.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040's Future Land Use Map designates
the properties within the proposed rezone as Industrial and Natural Areas.
Industrial Areas are those areas where buildings by their intrinsic functions, disposition or
configuration, cannot conform to one of the other designated areas and/or its' production process
requires the area to be separated from other uses.
Natural Areas consist of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness conditions, including
those with limited development potential due to topography, hydrology, vegetation or value as an
environmental resource. These resources can include stream and wildlife corridors, as well as
natural hubs and cores, many of which are identified in the generalized enduring green network.
A Natural Area designation would encourage a development pattern that requires conservation
and preservation, prevents degradation of these areas, and would utilize the principles of low
impact development stormwater infrastructure for all developments. Natural Areas are prime
candidates for conservation subdivision design and/or clustered development patterns.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a varying score for the
subject property, ranging from 0-3. The high score translates to a weighted score of 5 at the
highest level. The elements vary by the area of the property being considered, and include the
following:
• Near Park (Combs Park)
• Near Water Main (8-inch main east of S. Black Oak Road)
• Appropriate Fire Response (Station #3, 1050 S. Happy Hollow Road)
• Near Paved Trail (St. Paul Trail)
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: Staff finds that the proposal is generally compatible
with surrounding land uses. The area is almost entirely undeveloped to the
east, south and west of the subject property. Those areas reside in
unincorporated Washington County. Though generally rural in nature, the
proposal introduces a residential development near employment centers
and a City park. North of the property, in incorporated City limits are facilities
for Black Hills, Lift It Moving and Storage, and those formerly occupied by
Superior Industries Inc. Combs Park also abuts the property to the north.
Development Area A would add roughly 2.2 acres of commercial or mixed -
use property to the area. The presence of nearby services helps create a
walkable neighborhood in an area that might otherwise be entirely vehicle
dependent. Alley -loaded residences which require front build -to -zones
instead of setbacks contribute toward creating an urban, pedestrian -friendly
feel.
In terms of the natural features of the site, the proposed development is
contextually sensitive to its environment. Development is proposed to be
concentrated in a way that leaves the eastern third of the property, the area
immediately south of Combs Park, undisturbed. Greenspace and tree
preservation areas are intermittently dispersed throughout the development
along a protected stream and two non -regulated streams near the north
property line. Greenspaces are proposed to be activated with walking trails
which would ultimately connect to a proposed extension of the White River
West off-street trail. While the development is beyond the periphery of City
limits, staff finds the proposal would create a complete and connected
neighborhood in an area that might otherwise be typified by suburban
sprawl. On the other hand, regional access to the further extents of the City
would likely be limited to vehicular travel. The nearest school is Happy
Hollow Elementary which is nearly three miles north of the proposed
development. The nearest grocery store is further removed, with the Walmart
Neighborhood Market at 660 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the request is mostly inconsistent
with the Future Land Use Map designation for the area and the City's adopted
land use policies. The majority of the site is called out as an Industrial Area
which is reserved for uses that could be considered a nuisance and require
separation from other uses. Small portions of the site, along the river to the
east, are designated as Natural Areas. The proposed development does not
meet the intent of the Industrial Area designation which can be used to
recruit and encourage new industry to locate in Fayetteville. The future land
use designation, though, suggests green technologies and other remedial
techniques should be taken to minimize noise, air, and water pollution. Staff
finds the PZD to be a more suitable transition to an area with significant
ecological value. The proposed development meets the intent of the Natural
Area designation in that those areas are to remain undeveloped. The
proposed PZD could be construed as a conservation subdivision which is
specifically called out by the future land use designation. When considering
if the development meets the goals in City Plan 2040 staff finds the proposal
to be mixed. The infill score for this site is very low, which counters stated
Goal #1 in City Plan 2040 Goal which is to make infill development a priority.
Conversely, proximate employment centers and recreational facilities
contribute toward meeting Goal #3, making compact and connected
development the standard. Staff also finds that the urban design
considerations on the site, such as the use of build -to -zones rather than
front setbacks, alley -loaded development, and the addition of mixed -use
services would meet the intent of Goal #4 to grow a livable transportation
network. The Master Street Plan, however, does classify S. Black Oak Road
as a Neighborhood Link Street, which calls for a design service volume of
6000 vehicle trips per day, indicating that future development could be
absorbed should the street be redeveloped to those standards. Finally,
regarding Goal #6 and the Enduring Green Network, the proposal pays much
heed to protecting some of the most sensitive portions of the property,
particularly in continuing the corridor along the West Fork of the White River.
On the balance of considerations, staff finds the proposed PZD to be
compatible and consistent with existing land uses and adopted land use
plans.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that the proposed zoning is not necessarily justified at this time.
That said, residential density with the addition of non-residential uses in this
area, added open space, and potential connection to a multi -use trail shows
that this proposed development is contextually sensitive to the
surroundings and future of the area. On a larger scale, and to the applicant's
point, the case could be made that the proposal is justified through a larger
need for housing.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed PZD will increase traffic, and possibly to a significant degree.
With the addition of potentially 250 homes staff finds this may negatively
contribute to the free flow of vehicle traffic on S. Black Oak Road, with
residents having no viable alternative transportation option to access the
broader region. That said, with the potential for nearby walkable services in
the area, staff finds that the concern is somewhat alleviated. The proposal
also provides an opportunity to construct a portion of the planned White
River West multi -use trail. Since the only nearby trail connections are
planned, though, the improvements would do little to provide multi -modal
connectivity to the wider region in the short term. Given the proposed unit
count the applicant will be required to submit a Traffic Impact Study (TIS)
with any proposed preliminary plat, should the rezoning at this site be
approved.
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 its current zoning designation will significantly
alter the potential population density in the area. Initial Engineering Division
review indicates that utility extensions or upgrades are likely required,
especially with regards to sanitary sewer service to the site, which would
require a main extension. No comments were received from the Fayetteville
Public School district.
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
Sec. 161.35. Planned Zoning Districts (PZD)
(B) Purpose. The intent of the Planned Zoning District is to permit and encourage
comprehensively planned zoning and developments whose purpose is redevelopment,
economic development, cultural enrichment or to provide a single -purpose or mixed -use
planned development and to permit the concurrent processing of zoning and development.
The City Council may consider any of the following factors in review of a Planned Zoning
District application.
(1) Flexibility. Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of
development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts.
(2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
(3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are
harmonious and beneficial to the community.
(4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial
or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of
economic and redevelopment opportunities.
(5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the
area;
(6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and
cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and
in the renewal of existing deteriorating areas.
(7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas
and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land
development regulations.
(8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural
features and amenities.
(9) Future Land Use Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use
yet harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the Future Land Use
Plan.
(10)Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of
geographic location, topography, size or shape.
(11)Recognized zoning consideration. Whether any other recognized zoning consideration
would be violated in this PZD.
Findings: As outlined in previous findings, staff finds that the proposal is generally in
line with the factors that may be considered with a Planned Zoning District.
The proposed PZD is particularly well suited to meet the flexibility, harmony,
open space, and natural feature tenets of the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding PZD-2021-000004 to City Council, with a
recommendation of approval, with conditions as outlined below.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Revise the PZD booklet and plans to reflect the following:
a. Identify the appropriate Use Units in the "Permitted Uses" row for each planning
area;
b. Revise the booklet to include Use Unit 46, Short Term Rentals as a permitted
use in both Development Areas.

RE: Armstrong Road Annexation and Planned Zoning District — Riverside Village
Please accept this letter as a request to annex four parcels, containing approximately 101.77 acres, into the Fayetteville
City limits. Additionally, we are requesting rezoning of the subject property to Planned Zoning District. The subject
properties are located on Black Oak Road, are currently undeveloped, and historically been used as hay fields. The West
Fork of the White River is located along the east boundary of the properties.
Even though the property is outside of the city limits, the property is in a very convenient location. Downtown and the
University Campus are only 3 miles away and Happy Hollow Elementary is about 2.5 miles away. Additionally, there are
multiple parks in the area, including Walker Park, Combs Park, and White River Park, as well as Saint Paul Trail, which is
planned to be connected to the Razorback Greenway and Town Branch Trail by 2026. Fire Station #3 is located less than
2 miles from the property.
Utilities are also present. There is an existing 8-inch water line adjacent to the site and an 8-inch sewer line, just north of
the property. There is an existing utility easement in place that can used to make the sewer connection. Upgrades to
these utility lines are not expected.
The property itself has many unique properties, including the White River and associated floodplain, forest, fields, and a
small creek that bisects the property. The associated site plan, which is being submitted as a Planned Zoning District, has
been laid out to account for these important environmental features. Also, included with this submittal is a delineation
study of Waters of the United States.
Consistent with the principles of a conservation subdivision, Riverside Village has been designed to: preserve native
vegetation and tree canopy, protect, and preserve unique environmental resources, conserve open space, protect areas
of significant riparian benefit and encourage recreation and exploration of environmental resources.
River frontage is a great amenity for this property and future residents, but the layout was formed around a much
smaller feature. Bisecting the property, is a small intermittent stream that is flanked on either side by a variety of trees
and shrubs, including red cedar, sassafras, oaks, and blackberries. On either side of the tree line, a walking trail will be
constructed, establishing the western portion of the trail system. This trail system will also serve as access to the front
doors for many of the homes.
Along the north property, there are two more intermittent streams that run through the trees. The entire north
property line is being preserved to protect these streams and provide a natural buffer from the nonresidential land uses
north of this site. Along Armstrong Road, a wide greenspace will remain in place to serve as a buffer from the street and
to provide open space for the rear -loaded homes at the entrance.
One unique aspect of this project is the various parking locations scattered throughout the project. There are
approximately 57 lots that do not have direct street frontage, for on -street parking. Rather, these lots are alley -loaded
and face onto common greens, pathways, or forest preserves. The parking pods are offered in strategic locations to
provide guest parking for these residences.
Additionally, a cottage development of approximately 11 units is being proposed. These units will be situated around a
common green space and will have a trail system that connects to the larger, neighborhood trail system. These units will
be subject to the cottage development ordinance.
The goal of this development is to have a variety of housing styles and sizes and a wide range of price points that are
appealing and affordable to a range of families. Additionally, the development will provide many options for outdoor
recreation, including a series of connected trails, access to woods, fields, and the West Fork of the White River.
According to the City's trail construction schedule, the St. Paul Trail will be built out and connected to the Razorback
Greenway by 2026. The planned trail connection is just north of this property and provides an excellent opportunity to
connect this community to the broader community.
This project complies with most of the goals of City Plan 2040.The design is based on common principles of a
conservation subdivision, by preserving open space, forests, and other natural resources. The project is surrounded on
three sides by greenspace. The location of the subject property, while outside of the City limits, is very close to
downtown Fayetteville and thousands of jobs. Pedestrian improvements within the subdivision and upcoming trail
improvements from the City of Fayetteville Trails Department, will make this area extremely walkable and within close
proximity to jobs and parks.
The project is very connected and compact, while also respecting many of the natural features of the property. Housing
is a mixture of front and rear loaded homes, to respond to a wide variety of market needs. House sizes will vary in size
from 1,100 square feet to 2,400 square feet, providing a range of house sizes and prices. Every home will have
convenient access to trails, park land and open space. Future commercial uses have also been contemplated. The area at
the northwest corner of the property is being reserved for future commercial use. It's doubtful that a commercial
business is viable in this location today. However, in several years when the project is fully developed and tied into the
trail system, a combination of homeowners and employees in the area could prompt the need for services in the area.
Walking and future trail access is very important component of this development plan. Approximately, 4,500' of walking
trails are proposed for this development. We are also working with the Trails Coordinator to ensure a connection to the
trail system when the St. Paul Trail is completed. Interior streets will have on -street parking, street trees and sidewalks,
creating a welcome environment for pedestrians.
Greenspace, tree preservation and outdoor recreation are at the heart of the Riverside Village concept. Homes are
surrounded by open space and trees. Tree preservation will also far exceed minimum requirements. Trails are provided
throughout the project, so that every resident can walk, run, or ride a bike and enjoy the outdoors. Access to the river is
also being provided, so that residents can fish, or kayak.
Regarding annexation policies, the subject property is adjacent to the city limits; the areas to be annexed include entire
parcels and do not exclude any property; the boundaries follow the property lines; the properties do contain sensitive
environmental areas and should therefore be annexed to protect these areas during development; public services are
available to serve the property; utilizes are at are adjacent to the property; and upgrades to these utilities are not
expected.
The fact is, Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas as a region need more housing. Specifically, housing that is priced for
modest wage earners. According to Our Housing Future: A Call to Action for Northwest Arkansas, which was prepared by
the Walton Family Foundation, there are nearly 80,000 families projected to move to Northwest Arkansas' four largest
cities by 2040. Approximately half of the new homes that will be needed must serve workforce households earning
$33,000-$78,000. The City of Fayetteville can impact certain housing, particularly by financially supporting institutions
and non -profits. However, none of the cities in the region can meet the overwhelming demand for new housing,
particular at an affordable price point. This must be addressed by the private sector. This development provides an
opportunity to provide new housing, in a location that is convenient to jobs, downtown, the trail system, and will
provide outdoor recreational opportunities for residents.

Planned Zoning District 3 of 12
Scope & Concept
Riverside Village will be a conservation -style subdivision, located along the West Fork of the White River. The
unique environmental features of the site formed the layout of the lots and streets. These include a Corp
regulated stream that bisects the site, two non -regulated streams along the north property line, dense
vegetation along the river and the floodplain of the river.
The project consists of approximately 244 single-family lots, as well as a future commercial/office lot at the
north entrance. Homes along Black Oak Road will be set back from the road, providing a large greenspace area
that provides privacy for the homes, as well as an area for outdoor recreation. Other homes will face onto tree
preservation areas and will be provided with front -door access to the walking trails. Two areas within the site
will be developed with cluster housing with shared parking.
Greenspace and outdoor recreation are the defining elements of this development plan. There will be
approximately 17 acres of greenspace within the residential portion of the project and another 33 acres of
open space that will be dedicated for a public park. In total, half of the entire property will be retained as
greenspace and natural area. In addition to these valuable assets, residents will have access to several
thousand feet of walking trails, including trail access to the banks of the river.
While this property is located south of Commerce Park, the area is very quiet, with several existing homes on
the west side of Black Oak Road. The project has been designed with large vegetative buffers along Black Oak
Road, to provide privacy for the homes facing Black Oak, and to provide a buffer from properties on the west
side of the road. A very large buffer has also been provided on the north side of the project, to separate it
from existing, non-residential land uses.
The Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as an Industrial Area, so the proposed, mixed -use
project is not consistent with the Future Land Use Map. However, adding additional industrial uses across
from several existing homes is not consistent or compatible with the existing land uses in the area. Nor is an
industrial use of the property appropriate given the existing environmental resources. Further, there are
multiple, undeveloped, industrial parcels within Commerce Park that have been vacate for decades.
The fact is, Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas as a region need more housing. Specifically, housing that is
priced for modest wage earners. According to Our Housing Future: A Call to Action for Northwest Arkansas,
which was prepared by the Walton Family Foundation, there are nearly 80,000 families projected to move to
Northwest Arkansas' four largest cities by 2040. Approximately half of the new homes that will be needed
must serve workforce households earning $33,000-$78,000. The City of Fayetteville can impact certain
housing, particularly by financially supporting institutions and non -profits. However, none of the cities in the
region can meet the overwhelming demand for new housing, particular at an affordable price point. This must
be addressed by the private sector. This development provides an opportunity to provide new housing, in a
location that is convenient to jobs, downtown, the trail system, and will provide outdoor recreational
opportunities for residents.

Planned Zoning District 6 of 12
Purpose
The purpose of using the Planned Zoning District ordinance, is to allow flexibility in the application of zoning standards,
so that this property can be developed based on the unique site conditions instead of the constraints of a basic zoning
district. As described throughout this application, the subdivision has been laid out to account for the major
environmental features, so that hardscapes are in harmony with the softscapes. The development provides a variety of
housing types, provides for future nonresidential uses, and multi -family uses, and places homes in walking distance of
major employers.
The layout also preserves approximately 35 acres of property along the West Fork of the White River. This will include an
approximately 5-acre public park and an additional 30 acres of park property that will be dedicated to the City. We are
also actively working with the Trails Department to connect the development to the extension of the Saint Paul Trail.
Working together with staff, we will be able to preserve large areas of open space and natural features that will be
beneficial to both the homes owners and the public.
Architectural Standards
Development in Planning Area A will comply with the design standards in Chapter 166.23 Urban Residential Design
Standards, or Chapter 166.24 Nonresidential Design Standards. Lots with less than 50 feet of street frontage in Planning
Area B shall comply with Chapter 164.23 Small Lot Design Standards.
Cluster Housing
Two areas will be devoted to a cluster housing development plan. The first area is located close to the stream that
bisects the property and will include a small trail extension that provides a mid -block access to the north. A small
parking lot will be provided for these homes and the homes will face towards a public street with a large green space in
front of the homes. The second cluster area will be near the entrance to the park. These units will have a narrow, one -
Planned Zoning District 7 of 12
way parking lot that will be screened from the street with landscaping and a short fence. These units will all face towards
a common green that will be shared space for the residents. A smaller trail will connect these units together and provide
a connection back to the park entrance. Cluster housing will comply with Chapter 164.22 Cluster Housing Development.
Parks
The Parks Department has indicated that they have plans for improving Combs Park, which will be directly north of the
35 acres of park land that we will dedicate to the city. The park will be mainly a nature park, since it's running along the
White River. Long term plans include a hard surface trail following the river. Additionally, there will be nature trails along
the river. The open space on the east side of Riverside Village will provide the Parks Department with an opportunity to
provide a variety of recreational uses, based on input from the public.
Trails
Trails will be an important focus within this development. For the units that face out onto common property, these trails
will be the pedestrian access to the front of the homes. Further, the trail system will provide a pedestrian linkage
between every resident and the planned park. Two additional mid -block trail sections will be constructed to offer more
walking -route options. All trails will be 8-10 feet wide and constructed with either asphalt or concrete.
Landscaping and Screening
A landscape plan shall be submitted to the City during the preliminary plat The plans will be designed to
enhance the appearance of both the development and the Black Oak roadway frontage.
Development Area "A": The commercial property shall be developed in accordance with Chapter 177 of the
Unified Development Code.
Development Area "B": The residential property shall be developed in accordance with Chapter 177 of the
Unified Development Code.
Tree preservation and removal shall be governed by the standards of Chapter 167 of the Unified Development
Code.
Planned Zoning District 8 of 12
Grading and Utility Plans
Site grading and utility plans shall be submitted for review during the design phase of the development. All
utilities are available to serve this development, including water and sewer. Drainage plans shall be prepared
in accordance with City engineering requirements.
City Department Requirements
Unless specified otherwise within the PUD document, the development of this property shall be in compliance
with other local, state and federal requirements, including those of the Fire Department and City Engineer.
Streets
Streets shall be constructed in accordance with City regulations.
Parking
Two car garages will be provided with each dwelling unit except for the cottage units, which will have parking
areas to serve each of the units. Due to the unique design, with many homes fronting common property
instead of public streets, parking pods have been provided throughout the site to allow for guest parking when
needed. This will be in addition to on -street parking that will be allowed.
Restrictive Covenants
Restrictive covenants shall be adopted and recorded for the PUD with the subdivision plat. The maintenance
of all common areas, including parks and entrances shall be the responsibility of the Homes Owners
Association, or by the Fayetteville Parks Department, depending on final ownership.
Signage
Commercial signs shall be permitted in accordance with the standards of R-O, Residential Office regulations.
Residential subdivision entrance signs shall be permitted along Black Oak Road, in accordance with the sign
regulations for RSF regulations.
Phasing
Development will commence upon approval of the PUD, preliminary plat and construction plans, in
accordance with City regulations. The development of each phase is subject to changes in market conditions,
but will generally follow the schedule outlined below:
Phase 1: 2022
Phase 2: 2023
Phase 3: 2024
Phase 4: 2025
Development of the residential areas should occur in 3-5 phase. The commercial area will likely be developed
during one the above phasing schedules. However, market conditions could expedite development or result in
the commercial area being developed at a later date.

Position In Favor
Comments I am in favor of a planned zoning district for this property. Because of the river
frontage and the flood plain, a PZD is best. The proposed PZD could be improved
with more land adjacent to the river and close to the floodplain being set aside for a
park or nature preserve. This property is very close to city businesses, services,
parks and so best that the city direct the development of the whole acreage in a
controlled way.

Dear Mayor Jordan and City Council Members,
I am concerned about the potential annexation and development of 102 acres on 2936 S. Black
Oak Rd. The property is located on the edge of the city over 1.7 miles outside the "mayors box"
and 3.5 miles from the closest tier 2 center(Crossover & Huntsville).
The proposed construction of 250 single-family houses on this 101 acre property will result in
twice the density permitted under current county zoning.
The Adopted City 2040 Plan introduced a new land tool: the Growth Concept Map(GCM). This
GCM depicts how Fayetteville should grow over the next 20 years. It identifies key growth nodes,
corridors, and enduring green/natural spaces. The GCM encourages medium to high density,
pedestrian oriented development in the 38 tier centers that are strategically spread throughout
the city. These mixed use developments in tier centers are designed in order to attract owners
and renters of affordable housing that would be otherwise attracted to enduring green networks
on the perimeter of the city creating suburban sprawl.
Added to Revised Agenda on 11/16/2021
The other objective measure is the dismal infill matrix score of 0-4. With the highest weighted
score of 5. Please ask yourself where is the closest grocery store? Will children be able to walk to
school from this area? Where is the cross connectivity for this annexation(White River to the east
and industrial park to the north) No path to Combs Park but a neighborhood link street with
asphalt paving and open ditches. Where is the closest public transportation?
Affordable housing is a common problem across the country and is not unique to Fayetteville.
Simply adding more housing on the peripheral of the city creates more issues down the road and
not helping with affordable housing. Transportation cost and accessible amenities must be
factored in to "affordable housing' costs.
I'm not saying that this may not be a good annexation in the future. But the current land use
map, infill score, and make up of land make it clear that this may not be the best time to Annex
2936 Black Oak Road into the City of Fayetteville. There is no rush to this annexation request. It is
better to deny this request in that there are no other cities vying for it and a builder is not going to
lose the financial upside. "fiscal impact assessment was not conducted for the requested
annexation. However, it should be noted that annexing land on the fringe of the City
and developing it in a suburban, residential manner can pose financial challenges for
the City to maintain the public infrastructure in a fiscally sustainable manner."
Please Deny ANNX 2021-3 and any RPZD.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Jimm Garlock

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) indicates that there are
three forested wetlands (PFO1A) in the eastern portion of the study area (see Figure 3 in the
attachments). Approximately 20.7 acres of the study area is mapped by FEMA as being within a
floodway (see Figure 4 in the attachments).
Below is a summary of the features identified during the field investigation. Wetland features
were classified using the Cowardin classification system for wetland habitats:
OW-1 (West Fork White River) - this feature is mapped as a perennial stream on the USGS
Fayetteville Quadrangle map and flows from south to north near the northeastern boundary of
the study area. This feature consisted of two channels: a primary channel, and a secondary
channel that accepts overflow from the primary channel during high water. The ordinary high
water mark associated with the primary channel (OW-1A) was observed to be approximately 60
feet wide and approximately 3 feet deep, and the ordinary high water mark associated with the
secondary channel (OW-113) was observed to be approximately 30 feet wide and approximately
2 feet deep. Riparian vegetation associated with this feature included green ash, American elm,
slippery elm, American sycamore, eastern cottonwood, Osage orange, possumhaw, northern
spicebush, inland sea oats, Virginia wild rye, and giant rivercane. Approximately 386 linear feet
of OW-1A, and approximately 413 linear feet of OW-113 flows through the study area (see Figures
5 and 7 in the attachments).
OW-2 - this feature is an intermittent stream that flows from southwest to northeast through the
study area. This feature is a tributary to OW-1 and is not mapped by USGS. The ordinary high
water mark associated with this feature was observed to be approximately 7 feet wide and
approximately 6 inches deep. Riparian vegetation associated with this feature included eastern
red cedar, black cherry, sassafras, black oak, white oak, black locust, honey locust, corralberry,
bush honeysuckle, common blue violet, blackberries, Virginia creeper, and common greenbrier.
Approximately 2,277 linear feet of this feature flows through the study area (see Figures 5 and 7
in the attachments).

OW-3 - this feature is an intermittent stream that flows from west to east along the northern
boundary of the study area. This feature is a tributary to OW-2 and is not mapped by USGS. The
ordinary high water mark associated with this feature was observed to be approximately 5 feet
wide and approximately 3 inches deep. Riparian vegetation associated with this feature included
eastern red cedar, black cherry, chinquapin oak, sassafras, black oak, black locust, Osage orange,
honey locust, corralberry, bush honeysuckle, common blue violet, blackberries, and common
greenbrier. Approximately 3,093 linear feet of this feature flows through the study area (see
Figure 5 in the attachments).
OW-4 - this feature is an intermittent stream that flows generally from southwest to northeast
in the northwestern corner of the study area This feature is a tributary to OW-3 and is not
mapped by USGS. The ordinary high water mark associated with this feature was observed to be
approximately 4 feet wide and approximately 3 inches deep. Riparian vegetation associated with
this feature included eastern red cedar, black cherry, sassafras, black oak, black locust, honey
locust, corralberry, common blue violet, and common greenbrier. Approximately 417 linear feet
of this feature flows through the study area (see Figure 5 in the attachments).
EPH-1 - this feature is an ephemeral drainage that flows from southwest to northeast through
the southeastern corner of the study area and is a tributary to OW-1. EPH-1 is mapped by USGS
as being an intermittent stream but was observed in the field to have a discontinuous ordinary
high water mark, and therefore is likely ephemeral. Approximately 251 linear feet of this feature
flows through the study area (see Figure 5 in the attachments).
EPH-2 - this feature is an ephemeral drainage that flows from south to north through the
northeastern corner of the study area. EPH-2 accepts high water from OW 1 and is a tributary to
OW-2. This feature is not mapped by USGS and exhibited a discontinuous ordinary high water
mark. Approximately 488 linear feet of this feature flows through the study area (see Figures 5
and 7 in the attachments).
EPH-3 - this feature is an ephemeral drainage that flows from southwest to northeast near the
northern boundary of the study area. This feature is a tributary to OW-3 and is not mapped by
USGS. An ordinary high water mark that was approximately 2 feet wide and 2 inches deep was
observed for approximately 30 linear feet of this feature upstream of its confluence with OW-3.
Approximately 208 linear feet of this feature flows through the study area (see Figure 5 in the
attachments).
WET-1 is classified as PF01A (Palustrine Forested, Broad -Leaved Deciduous, Temporarily Flooded
Wetland) and appears to be isolated. This feature consists of a sparsely vegetated concave
surface containing crayfish burrows and drift deposits, and occupies a low area between several
relict nebkhas from the late -Holocene epoch. Dominant hydrophytic vegetation observed

Dear Ms. McCurdy:
Please refer to your letter of August 24, 2021, on behalf of Rausch Coleman Homes,
concerning a waters of the United States determination of an approximately 90.6-acre subject
property (Riverside Village) located just east of Black Oak Road. The subject property abuts
portions of West Fork White River, in parts of section 26, T. 16 N., R. 30 W., Fayetteville,
Washington County, Arkansas. This letter will provide information on the extent of the waters
of the United States, including wetlands, on the property and the Department of the Army permit
requirements pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S. Code 1344).
My site evaluation on October 12, 2021, utilizing United States Geological Survey
Quadrangle Maps, aerial photography, National Hydrography Dataset, site visit, and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service Washington County Soil Survey, revealed that the property
contains areas that meet the definition of wetlands and waters of the United States, as determined
by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, Eastern Mountains and Piedmont
Region Supplement, appropriate guidance, and Department of the Army regulations.
Approximately 2.66 acres of wetlands and 7,950 linear feet of stream were identified. The
approximate location of these areas is shown on the enclosed map of the site.
This letter contains an Approved Jurisdictional Determination for your subject site. If you
object to this determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at
33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 331. Enclosed you will find a Notification of
Appeals Process (NAP) fact sheet and Request for Appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal
this determination you must submit a completed RFA form for to the Southwestern Division
Office at the following address:
Mr. Jamie Hyslop
Administrative Appeals Review Officer (CESWD-PD-O)
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
1100 Commerce Street, Suite 831
Dallas, Texas 75242-1317
-2-
In order for an RFA to be accepted by the Corps, the Corps must determine that it is
complete, that it meets the criteria for appeal under 33 CFR Part 331.5, and that it has been
received by the Division Office within 60 days of the date of the NAP. Should you decide to
submit an RFA form, it must be received at the above address by December 12, 2021.
It is not necessary to submit an RFA form to the Division Office if you do not object to the
determination in this letter.
This approved jurisdictional determination is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of
this letter unless new information warrants revision of the determination before the expiration
date.
Please be advised that the discharge of dredged or fill material in waters of the United States,
including wetlands, requires a Department of the Army permit prior to beginning work in most
situations. A permit is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Corps of
Engineers implementing regulations, 33 CFR 320 - 332. The clearing of wetlands with
mechanized equipment; landleveling; construction of ditches, dikes, and dams; placement of fill
to raise the elevation of a site; and stabilization of banks are examples of activities that routinely
require a permit. All of these activities involve the discharge of dredged or fill material in waters
of the United States.
In the event you wish to apply for a permit, please visit our website at
https://www.swl.usace.ariily.mil/Missions/Regulatory/ARV[ying-for-a-Pernlit/. The website
contains DA application forms and instructions. It also briefly describes the Corps regulatory
process. Please note the drawing requirements and checklist. These instructions are designed to.
insure the submittal of a good, understandable application and drawings of your project. Plan
and cross section drawings should be in a scaled printable format. Our acceptance of an
application does not necessarily mean it will be approved. Note that you can either submit your
application electronically to the general regulatory email inbox at ceswl-
re ugh[ a,usace.army.mil or hardcopy postal mail.
The delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and extent of the
aquatic resource boundaries and/or the jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes of
the Clean Water Act for the particular site identified in this request. This delineation and/or
jurisdictional determination may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation Provisions of the
Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program participants,
or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should discuss the applicability of a certified
wetland determination with the local USDA service center, prior to starting work.
Your cooperation in the Regulatory Program is appreciated. If you have any questions,
please contact me at (501) 340-1386 and refer to No. SWL-2021-00266.

- For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally' (e.g„ typically 3 months)
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section 11I.F.
Riverside Village SWL-2021-00266
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section
III.A.I and Section III.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.I and 2 and Section
IILD.I.; otherwise, see Section IILB below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. Characteristics of Tributary (That Is Not a TNW) and Its Adjacent Wetlands (If Any):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months).
A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial)
flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section
III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though
a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody' is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider
the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical
purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary,
or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary,
Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The
determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by
any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a
TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands,
has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations
when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the
tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not
Riverside Village SWL-2021-00266
-5.
appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its
adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain
is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or
to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other
species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological
integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D: Ephemeral channels

B. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO SUPPORT JD: The subject property is located in a generally level area adjacent to West Fork White
River (WFWR); the eastern portion of the subject property is within a broad floodplain associated with WFWR. Wetlands 6 and 7 directly abut
WFWR; Wetland 5 (WET-5) lies in floodplain adjacent to WFWR. Channels OW-2, OW-3, and OW-4 were identified as intermittent tributaries
(RPWs) that flow directly into WFWR. Ephemeral channels (EPH-1, EPH-2, and EPH-3) supported OHWM indicators and flow directly into
WFWR or OW-3 (RPWs); therefore, these channels qualify for jurisdiction as waters of the U.S. Finally, wetlands WET-1, WET-2, WET-3 and
WET-4, were located well outside the floodplain associated with WFWR. These features were surrounded by uplands; there was no hydrologic
connection observed between these wetland features and regulated waters of the U.S.
