CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2023-400
SUBJECT: RZN-2022-0053: Rezone (3017 W.OLD FARMINGTON RDJARNOLD,
557): Submitted by JORGENSEN & ASSOCIATES. for property located at 3017
W. OLD FARMINGTON RD in WARD 1. The property is zoned RSF-4,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains
approximately 0.50 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to RSF-18,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 18 UNITS PER ACRE.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of a request to rezone the
subject property as described and shown in the attached Exhibits `A' and `B'.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of S. One Mile Road and W.
Old Farmington Road. To the north is Millsap Mountain, the site of Centennial Park. The subject
property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, 4 Units per Acre and it is approximately'/2 acre in
area. There are no apparent sensitive ecological features on site and the property is fairly flat. A duplex,
built in 1977, occupies the site.
Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4, Residential Single-family, Four Units per
Acre to RSF-18, Residential Single-family, 18 Units per Acre.
Public Comment: Staff has not received any public comment on this item.
Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding land use pattern of
the area. Zoning regulations for the existing RSF-4 and proposed RSF-18 district are identical in terms
of permitted uses and conditional uses. RSF-18, however, allows density up to eighteen units per acre,
with lots that are 30 feet -wide and a minimum width of 1,250 square feet for townhomes. RSF-4, on the
other hand, allows lots at a minimum width of 70 feet and 8,000 square feet in area at this location.
Setbacks under RSF-18 are also less restrictive. RSF-18 prescribes a build -to zone between 0-25 feet
from the front property line, allows zero lot -line development for townhomes, and has a five foot rear
setback. RSF-4 setbacks are 15 feet in the front and rear and 5 feet along side property lines. In RSF-
18 the area occupied by structures is limited to 60% of the lot area where in RSF-4 structures may only
occupy 40%. The height of structures in both districts is limited to three stories. In the near vicinity,
Page 1
Ordinance: 6643
File Number: 2023-400
properties have a patchwork of zoning designations. The property is situated among moderate to high
single-family zoning designations and also districts typically associated with rural or agricultural uses. It
is just over 500 feet north of the W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard corridor. In the vicinity are many
grocery stores, retail goods and services, and a Department of Motor Vehicles tag office. Lastly, staff
finds the setbacks of the proposed RSF-18 zoning will create efficiencies in the development pattern of
the site that will allow the property to be more appropriately utilized, especially considering its location.
Staff finds the request to rezone to RSF-18 is appropriate given the associated zoning requirements
and surrounding context.
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 may not be 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. The infill score of the site is moderate, but it
is located between two Tier 2 Centers, as designated by City Plan 2040's Growth Concept Map;
approximately a half -mile to the east at 1-49 and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and approximately
one mile to the west at S. Rupple Road and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The Growth Concept
Map is a tool included in City Plan 2040 which depicts, in board terms, how growth should occur based
on activity centers and corridors.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates 7 attributes for this site that
may contribute to appropriate infill. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station #6, 990 S. Hollywood Avenue)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main north of W. Old Farmington Road, 6-inch main center of S. One
Mile Road)
• Near Water Main (8-inch main north of W. Old Farmington Road, 6-inch main center of S. One
Mile Road)
• Near Grocery Store (Walmart, ALDI, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard)
• Near City Park (Centennial Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Mount Millsap Lane Marked Shared Roadway, W. Old Farmington Road
Side -Path Trail)
• Razorback Transit Stop (Route 44 Peak, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard)
DISCUSSION:
At the January 23, 2023, Planning Commission meeting, a vote of 8-0-0 forwarded the request to City
Council with a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Garlock made the motion and
Commissioner Brink seconded. Commissioner McGetrick voiced support for the rezoning, stating that
the request was warranted and compatible. Based on previous public comment regarding drainage,
Commissioner Johnson asked Engineering staff for an explanation of stormwater requirements before
offering support for the request. Engineering staff described the varying stormwater treatments required
based on the intensity of a given development. No other members of the Commission spoke on the
item. No members of the public spoke during the meeting.

Public Comment: Staff has not received any public comment about the request.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Streets: The subject area has frontage along W. Old Farmington Road and S. One Mile
Road. W. Old Farmington Road is a partially improved Residential Link Street with
asphalt paving and open ditches. S. One Mile Road is a fully improved Residential
Link Street with paved streets, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. 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 and another 6-inch water
main is present in the center of S. One Mile Road.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject area. An existing 8-inch sewer main is
present on the north side of W. Old Farmington Road and another 6-inch sewer
main is present in the center of S. One Mile 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 1.1 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time
of approximately four 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: No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside -Hilltop Overlay District or
a streamside protection zone, and no FEMA-designated floodplains are present.
Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage would be determined
at the time of development.
Hydric soils are 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.
Tree Preservation:
Planning Commission
January 23, 2023
RZN-2022-0053 (ARNOLD)
Page 2 of 14
The proposed zoning district of RSF-18, Residential Single-family, 18 Units per
Acre requires 20% minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district,
RSF-4, Residential Single-family, Four Units per Acre, requires 25% minimum
canopy preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan designates
the property within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood Area.
Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a wide variety
of housing types of appropriate scale and context: single-family, duplexes, rowhouses, multifamily
and accessory dwelling units. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly connected, compact
blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks. It also encourages traditional
neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity non-residential uses intended to serve
the surrounding neighborhoods, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting
corridors. This designation recognizes existing conventional subdivision developments which may
have large blocks with conventional setbacks and development patterns that respond to features
of the natural environment. Building setbacks may vary depending on the context of the existing
neighborhood.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a score of 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)
• Near Sewer Main (6-inch main north of W. Old Farmington Road, 6-inch main center of S.
One Mile Road)
• Near Water Main (8-inch main north of W. Old Farmington Road, 6-inch main center of S.
One Mile Road)
• Near Grocery Store (Walmart, ALDI, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard)
• Near City Park (Centennial Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Mount Millsap Lane Marked Shared Roadway, W. Old Farmington Road
Side -Path Trail)
• Razorback Transit Stop (Route 44 Peak, W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard)
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
1. 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. Zoning regulations for the existing
RSF-4 and proposed RSF-18 district are identical in terms of permitted uses
and conditional uses. RSF-18, however, allows density up to eighteen units
per acre, with lots that are 30 feet -wide and a minimum width of 1,250 square
feet for townhomes. RSF-4, on the other hand, allows lots at a minimum
width of 70 feet and 8,000 square feet in area at this location. Setbacks under
RSF-18 are also less restrictive. RSF-18 prescribes a build -to zone between
0-25 feet from the front property line, allows zero lot -line development for
townhomes, and has a five foot rear setback. RSF-4 setbacks are 15 feet in
the front and rear and 5 feet along side property lines. In RSF-18 the area
occupied by structures is limited to 60% of the lot area where in RSF-4
Planning Commission
January 23, 2023
RZN-2022-0053 (ARNOLD)
Page 3 of 14
structures may only occupy 40%. The height of structures in both districts
is limited to three stories. In the near vicinity, properties have a patchwork
of zoning designations. The property is situated among moderate to high
single-family zoning designations and also districts typically associated
with rural or agricultural uses. It is just over 500 feet north of the W. Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulvard corridor. In the vicinity are many grocery stores,
retail goods and services, a Department of Motor Vehicles tag office, and a
Tier 2 Center at the intersection of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and
1-49. Staff finds the request to rezone to RSF-18 is appropriate given the
associated zoning requirements and surrounding context.
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 may not be 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. The infill score of the site is moderate
but it 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 one
mile to the west at S. Rupple Road and W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Lastly, staff finds the setbacks of the proposed RSF-18 zoning will create
efficiencies in the development pattern of the site that will allow the property
to be more appropriately utilized, given its location.
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 RSF-4 to RSF-18 is appropriate and justified for the
property. Rezoning to RSF-18 allows an 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, 2, 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-18 is likely to increase traffic at this location.
Staff finds, though, that the increase would not be beyond what is
appropriate. Vehicle traffic can access W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
at its intersection with S. One Mile Road, which is a signalized intersection,
or less than '/z mile to the west at its intersection with W. Old Farmington
Road. Vehicle traffic can also be dispersed onto S. Shiloh Drive to the east.
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 and sees
roughly 44,000 vehicle trips near 1-49. The property's location near retail
services, recreational facilities, and a Razorback Transit stop offers future
residents reasonable alternatives to automobile transportation.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
Planning Commission
January 23, 2023
RZN-2022-0053 (ARNOLD)
Page 4 of 14
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: Rezoning the property to RSF-18 is likely to increase the population density
at this location but is unlikely to increase the burden on public services. The
property currently has direct access to city water, sanitary sewer, and an
improved street network. 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-2022-0053 to the City
Council with a recommendation of approval.

Re: Rezoning at 3017 W Old Farmington
Dear City Staff;
124 W Sunbridge Drive, Suite 5
Fayetteville, AR 72703
Office: 479.442.9127
www orgerserassoc con,
Established 1985
A. The current owner of this site is as follows: Jane &Vance Arnold Holding Comany
B. Currently this property is zoned RSF-4. We are kindly seeking a rezone to: RSF-18.
C. This property is surrounded by R-A, RSF-8, RPZD, RSF-18, and NC Zoning
D. Existing adequate water and sewer are already at this site along both streets.
E. We feel the requested rezoning is in line with the goals of the City Plan 2040 for rezoning and
development and that this type of in -fill is desired.
F. This rezoning is needed at this time to allow this underutilized lot to be developed.
G. This development will not adversely affect the existing or proposed streets in the area, especially
considering the small size of the parent tract.
H. The potential to increase the population density in this area as a result of this rezoning would aid in
supplying a demand to existing commercial uses in the area and the proximity to the existing transit
further support this rezoning request.
I. The current zoning does not allow this lot to be fully developed in a manner which would maximize
its development potential.
Thank you and if you need any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
lilii6
