MEETING OF JUNE 16, 2020 TO: Mayor; Fayetteville City Council THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff Garner Stoll, Development Services Director Jonathan Curth, Development Review Manager FROM: Jessie Masters, Senior Planner DATE: May 29, 2020 SUBJECT: RZN 20-7089: Rezone (1139, 1213, 1237, 1251, & 1283 W. HENDRIX ST./MARKS, 404): Submitted by ANDREW MARKS for properties located at 1139, 1213, 11237, 1251, & 1283 W. HENDRIX ST. The properties are zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains 5 parcels with approximately 2.00 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE-URBAN.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of an ordinance to rezone the subject property to RI-U, Residential Intermediate, Urban, as shown in the attached Exhibits ‘A’ and ‘B’. Staff recommends denial of the request but would support rezoning the property to RSF-8 or RSF-18. BACKGROUND: The subject property is comprised of five lots on the south side of W. Hendrix Street, located between N. Addington Avenue and N. Garland Avenue which are all part of the Hendrix Addition, and are currently zoned RSF-4, Residential Single Family, 4 Units Per Acre. The properties consist of small one-story, residential single-family homes from the mid-20th century. W. Hendrix Street is a primarily single-family neighborhood with two pockets of multi-family between N. Garland Avenue and Addington Ave. Another rezone request is also up for consideration directly across the street on the north side of W. Hendrix Street, a request to rezone from RSF-8, Residential Single Family, 4 Units Per Acre, to RI-U, Residential Intermediate - Urban. The street has a complicated zoning history, and the multi-family dwellings at N. Garland Avenue and at N. Addington Avenue came to fruition following a clerical error during the city-wide rezone in the early 2000s. Accordingly, City Council has been sensitive to requests on Hendrix Street, with a 2019 rezoning proposal on the property at 1278 W. Hendrix Street, due north, having been amended to the current RSF-8 prior to approval. A recent request to rezone a property to the west, on the south side of Hendrix Street to RI-U was approved by the City Council on May 19, 2020. Request: The request is to rezone the five properties from RSF-4, Residential Single Family, Four Units Per Acre, to RI-U, Residential Intermediate, Urban. The request includes a signed Bill of Assurance from the property owner that indicates the applicant’s request to build residential

single-family dwellings, with a condition that no street side parking would be allowed. Land Use Compatibility: The surrounding neighborhood of the property in question is comprised mostly of low-density single-family dwellings. There is some existing diversity in housing type on the street, especially on the northern side of W. Hendrix Street, with multi-family to the immediate west and multi-family to the east at the corner of W. Hendrix Street and N. Garland Avenue; however, staff is aware of the clerical error from the early 2000s that brought these dwellings into existence. The five properties in question make up most of the block between N. Addington Avenue and N. Garland Avenue, and a rezone request for this much acreage in this neighborhood will set the neighborhood on a new course for the built form. RI-U and RSF-4 do differ in that RI-U does not cap density and allows for more uses by-right than RSF-4. These uses would promote a significant density increase in the neighborhood, which staff suggests the neighborhood and surrounding land uses may not be ready to absorb. The applicant has provided a Bill of Assurance indicating a desire to only develop single-family dwellings, but staff suggests this may not be the best option to meet this desired outcome of increased density. A consideration of an RSF-8 zoning district may be more compatible with the neighborhood, its surrounding land uses, the desire for more infill and density, and the applicant’s request, alternatively, a higher density request of RSF-18 may also be a more suitable zoning request. Additionally, staff would not support a Bill of Assurance on this request because there is inherent value in having the potential for attached residential through conditional use. Regardless of the concern for abrupt change that a rezone of this nature would place on the neighborhood, staff does believe an increase in density is appropriate and compatible with the goals in City Plan 2040, adopted land use policies, and the future land use designation for this location. RI-U just might not be the most suitable or compatible way to get there in this neighborhood, and staff encourages the applicant to consider an RSF-8 zoning district instead. From an objective perspective, an RI-U zoning district could see this portion of the street go from 5 homes currently to maybe 25 homes (with an estimated frontage of 30’). With the provided street frontage at a zoning of RSF-8, the site could see an increase from 5-6 homes to possibly 15 homes on this site, which might be a density increase that the neighborhood could more easily absorb. The infill score of 7 for this neighborhood also implies that it could be served by a soft increase of density, which would meet the needs and goals for infill, while keeping in line with the surrounding neighborhood. Considering another alternative of RSF-18, the applicant would still have the ability to build almost 25 homes on the site given 30’ lot width, could take advantage of a build-to-zone similar to RI-U, and would be subject to by-right limitations of RSF-18 which would not require the use of a Bill of Assurance. The density cap of 18 units per acre will also provide a sense of predictability for the surrounding neighborhood. City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 7 for the subject property. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:

• Near Grocery Store (Harp’s at Garland Avenue)

• Near Public School (Asbell Elementary School)

• Near Razorback Bus Stop (N Garland Avenue, Route 21; Mt. Comfort Road, Route 33)

• Near Sewer Main (W. Hendrix Street)

3

• Near Paved Trail (Razorback Greenway)

• Near Water Main (W. Hendrix Street)

• 4 Minute Fire Department Response time (Fire Station #2, 708 N. Garland) Note: In December 2019, a deal to split ownership of Lewis Park between the City and Fayetteville Public School District was reached. Although County records indicate University of Arkansas ownership, this will be partially transferred with the property’s score revising upward to 8. DISCUSSION: On May 26, 2020, the Planning Commission forwarded the rezoning request along with the Bill of Assurance to the City Council with a recommendation of approval by a vote of 5-3-0. Commissioners Garlock, Paxton, and Winston were the dissenting votes, citing the single-family nature of the neighborhood, and lack of appropriate pedestrian infrastructure in place to support this level of upzone. Commissioners in favor appreciated RI-U’s ability to create missing middle housing and the site’s location with relation to a Tier Two Center as identified by City Plan 2040’s Growth Concept Map. Additional discussion was made for a preference of a more context-aware approach on a site of this size by introducing a variety of zoning districts. Ample public comment in opposition was made prior to the meeting in phone call discussions with staff and through email. Staff also received one public comment in support of the rezone prior to the meeting. No public comment was made at the meeting. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: N/A Attachments:

SUBJECT: RZN 20-7089: Rezone (1139, 1213, 1237, 1251, & 1283 W. HENDRIX ST./MARKS, 404): Submitted by ANDREW MARKS for properties located at 1139, 1213, 11237, 1251, & 1283 W. HENDRIX ST. The properties are zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contains 5 parcels with approximately 2.00 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE-URBAN.

RECOMMENDATION:Staff recommends denial of RZN 20-7089.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:“I move to deny RZN 20-7089.”

BACKGROUND:The subject property is comprised of five lots on the south side of W. Hendrix Street, located between N. Addington Avenue and N.

Request: The request is to rezone the five properties from RSF-4, Residential Single Family, Four Units Per Acre, to RI-U, Residential Intermediate, Urban. The request includes a signed Bill of Assurance from the property owner that indicates the applicant’s request to build residential single family dwellings, with a condition that no street side parking would be allowed.

Public Comment: Staff has received public comment on this request, by both email and phone.One neighbor was in support of the rezone, citing the property owner’s ability to upkeep and maintain properties. One neighbor cites a concern for the low-lying nature of the street and that an increase in density will promote more stormwater runoff, create crowded living conditions, and change the character of the neighborhood. The neighbor also expressed concern with an increase in density given the current health crisis. Another neighbor expressed concern that an increase in density and infill will negatively affect the quality of life for existing residents on the street. Email comments are attached to this report.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

Streets: The subject area has frontage to W. Hendrix Street and N. Addington Avenue. W.Hendrix Street is a partially improved Residential Link with asphalt paving and open ditches along the subject area’s frontage. N. Addington Avenue is a partially improved Residential Link with asphalt paving and ditches along the subject area’s frontage. Any street improvements or requirements for drainage would be determined at the time of development proposal.

Water: Public water is available to the subject parcels. An existing 6-inch watermain is present along W. Hendrix Street and N. Addington Avenue that can serve the subject area.

Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the subject parcels. An existing 6-inch sanitary sewer main is present along W. Hendrix Street that can serve the subject area. Existing 6-inch and 8-inch sanitary sewer mains are also present along N.Addington Avenue.

Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development. Hydric soils appear to be present within the entire subject area. No portion of the property is within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District, FEMA floodplain, nor is there a protected stream present in the subject area.

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 2, located at 708 N. Garland, protects this site. The property is located approximately 1 mile from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of approximately 4 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time would be approximately 6.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn-out time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time goal of 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes for a ladder truck.

Police: The Police Department expressed no concerns with this request.

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 the subject property, with a weighted score of 8.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:

Near Grocery Store (Harp’s at Garland Avenue)Near Public School (Asbell Elementary School)Near Razorback Bus Stop (N Garland Avenue, Route 21; Mt. Comfort Road, Route 33)Near Sewer Main (W. Hendrix Street)Near Paved Trail (Razorback Greenway)Near Water Main (W. Hendrix Street)4 Minute Fire Department Response time (Fire Station #2, 708 N. Garland)

Note: In December 2019, a deal to split ownership of Lewis Park between the City and Fayetteville Public School District was reached. Although County records indicate University of Arkansasownership, this will be partially transferred with the property’s score revising upward to 8 (9.5 weighted).

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 surrounding neighborhood of the property in question is comprised mostly of low-density single-family dwellings. There is some existing diversity in housing type on the street, especially on the northern side of W. Hendrix Street, with multi-family to the immediate west and multi-family to the east at the corner of W. Hendrix Street and N. Garland Avenue; however, staff is aware of the clerical error from the early 2000s that brought these dwellings into existence. The five properties in question make up most of the block between N. Addington Avenue and N. Garland Avenue, and a rezone request for this much acreage in this neighborhood will set the neighborhood on a new course for the built form.RI-U and RSF-4 do differ in that RI-U does not cap density and allows for more uses by-right than RSF-4.

applicant has provided a Bill of Assurance indicating a desire to only develop single-family dwellings, but staff suggests this may not be the best option to meet this desired outcome of increased density. A consideration of an RSF-8 zoning district may be more compatible with the neighborhood, its surrounding land uses, the desire for more infill and density, and the applicant’s request, alternatively, a higher density request of RSF-18 may also be a more suitable zoning request.

Land Use Plan Analysis: Regardless of the concern for abrupt change that a rezone of this nature would place on the neighborhood, staff does believean increase in density is appropriate and compatible with the goals in City Plan 2040, adopted land use policies, and the future land use designation for this location. RI-U just might not be the most suitable or compatible way to get there in this neighborhood, and staff encourages the applicant to consider an RSF-8 zoning district instead. From an objective perspective, an RI-U zoning district could see this portion of the street go from 5 homes currently to maybe 25 homes (with an estimated frontage of 30’). With the provided street frontage at a zoning of RSF-8, the site could see an increase from 5-6 homes to possibly 15 homes on this site, which might be a density increase that the neighborhood could more easily absorb. The infill score of 7 for this neighborhood also implies that it could be served by a soft increase of density, which would meet the needs and goals for infill, while keeping in line with the surrounding neighborhood. Considering another alternative of RSF-18, the applicant would still have the ability to build almost 25 homes on the site given 30’ lot width, could take advantage of a build-to-zone similar to RI-U, and would be subject to by-right limitations of RSF-18 which would not require the use of a Bill of Assurance. The density cap of 18 units per acre will also provide a sense of predictability for the surrounding neighborhood.

2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed.

Finding: Staff does not generally find the request to be justified. Based on the request letter, the requested rezoning is not necessarily needed or justified for the proposed use. RSF-4 allows the development of single-family homes, and the site is underdeveloped given current by-right allowances. However, the applicant has indicated that the lots are oversized and wishes to develop more single-family homes than is currently permitted. The applicant should speak to why the requested zoning district is necessary, and not a more compatible zoning district such as RSF-8, or even RSF-18, since the applicant has also submitted a Bill of Assurance indicating an intent to only develop single-family homes.

3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion.

Finding: Rezoning the property to RI-U does have the ability to increase traffic on the street, especially given the scale of the request. The neighborhood does have two major points of entry, one from N. Garland Avenue and the other to W. Mount Comfort via N. Addington Avenue, or via N. Stephens Avenue. The

property is also within close walking distance to active bus routes along N. Garland Avenue, so alternative forms of transportation are available to surrounding services. Any proposed development would have to adhere to City parking minimums for residential construction, and any necessary street improvements would be required at time of development.

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 RSF-4 to RI-U does have the potential to alter the population density, especially given the consideration for the lack of density maximum associated with an RI-U zoning. However, access to schools, water, and sewer facilities do not lead staff to believe that this would place and undue burden on those public services.

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: Staff believes the current zoning district of RSF-8, or an alternative of RSF-18 may be more compatible with adjacent land uses and neighborhood form.

RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommends denial of RZN 20-7089.
