MEETING OF JUNE 19, 2018 TO: THRU: FROM: Mayor, Fayetteville City Council Garner Stoll, Development Services Director Harry Davis, Planner DATE: June 1, 2018 SUBJECT: RZN 18-6204: Rezone (127 N. FLORENE ST./FUGITT, 401): Submitted by KIM FUGITT for property located at 127 N. FLORENE ST. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 0.33 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE, URBAN. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the requested rezoning as depicted in Exhibits A and B. BACKGROUND: The subject property is located at the corner of Florene Street and Anne Street, northwest of the intersection between I-49 and Wedington Drive. The property contains a nonconforming tri-plex built in the 1970 s on approximately 0.33 acres and is zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural. Request: The request is to rezone the parcel to RI-U. The applicant intends to subdivide the property, retain the tri-plex, and construct one new single-family home on the new lot. Public Comment: No public comment has been received as of writing this report. Land Use Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the City Plan 2030 designating the property as Residential Neighborhood Area. RI-U allows greater flexibility for residential uses and typologies encouraged under Residential Neighborhood Areas. The goals of City Plan 2030 include making the traditional town form the standard. The RI-U zoning district encourages patterns of development that result in realizing this goal, including a requirement that buildings will be located close to the street, creating an environment more appealing to pedestrians than the development patterns allowed by the current zoning. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with existing land uses, particularly with existing duplexes and tri-plexes that can be found adjacent to and nearby the subject property. The existing R-A zoning is outdated and needs to be replaced.
DISCUSSION: At the May 29, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, this item was forwarded with a recommendation for approval by a vote of 7-0-0. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: N/A Attachments: Exhibit A Exhibit B Planning Commission Staff Report 2

TO: THRU: FROM: City of Fayetteville Planning Commission Andrew Garner, City Planning Director Harry Davis, Planner MEETING DATE: May 29, 2018 UPDATED W PC RESULTS SUBJECT: RZN 18-6204: Rezone (127 N. FLORENE ST./FUGITT, 401): Submitted by KIM FUGITT for property located at 127 N. FLORENE ST. The property is zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 0.33 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U, RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE, URBAN. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 18-6204 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval, based on the findings herein. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to forward RZN 18-6204 to the City council with a recommendation for approval. BACKGROUND: The subject property is located at the corner of Florene Street and Anne Street, northwest of the intersection between I-49 and Wedington Drive. The property contains a nonconforming tri-plex built in the 1970 s on approximately 0.33 acres and is zoned R-A, Residential-Agricultural. The surrounding land use and zoning is depicted on Table 1. Table 1 Surrounding Land Use/Zoning Direction from Site Land Use Zoning North Single-Family Residential R-A, Residential/Agricultural South Duplex R-A, Residential/Agricultural East Duplex/Triplex RSF-4, Residential Single-family, 4 Units per Acre West Single-Family Residential RI-12, Residential Intermediate, 12 Units per Acre Request: The request is to rezone the parcel to RI-U. The applicant intends to subdivide the property, retain the tri-plex, and construct one new single-family home on the new lot. Public Comment: No public comment has been received as of writing this report.
INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: Water: Sewer: Drainage: Fire: Police: The subject parcel has access to North Florene Street and West Anne Street. North Florene Street is an unimproved two-lane asphalt street with no sidewalk or storm drains. It does have curb and gutter though. West Anne Street is an unimproved two-lane asphalt street with curb, gutter and storm drains. It does not have sidewalk. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of development proposal. Public water is available to the site. There is an existing 2-inch and 8-inch main North Florene Street. A 6-inch main is also available on West Anne Street. Sanitary Sewer is available to the site. There is an existing 6-inch main along North Florene Street. No portion of this property is identified as FEMA regulated floodplains. No part of the parcel lies within the HHOD. There are no protected streams on this parcel. There are no hydric soils identified on this parcel. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development. The Fire Department did not comment on this request. The Police Department did not comment on this request. CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates the majority of the property as Residential Neighborhood Area. These areas are primarily residential in nature and support a variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context, including single family, multifamily and rowhouses. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced setbacks. It also encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low-intensity non-residential uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting corridors. 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 Plan Analysis: The proposed zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the City Plan 2030. The goals of City Plan 2030 include making the traditional town form the standard. The RI-U zoning district encourages patterns of development that result in realizing this goal, including a requirement that buildings will be located close to the street, creating an environment more appealing to pedestrians than the development patterns allowed by the current zoning. RI-U allows greater flexibility for residential uses and typologies encouraged under Residential Neighborhood Areas. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with existing land uses, particularly with existing duplexes and tri-plexes that can be found adjacent to and nearby the subject property.

2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The proposed zoning would bring into conformance the use of the property as a tri-plex and would allow appropriate infill development to occur at this location. 3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The proposed zone would allow higher density and resulting traffic compared to the existing R-A zoning. However, given that the property is already developed with a tri-plex, an appreciable increase in potential traffic danger or congestion in the area would not be the result. 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: The proposed zoning is likely to result in higher density of population, however no undesirable load on public services is anticipated. The Police and Fire Departments have not expressed concerns about the proposed zoning 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 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 18-6204 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval, based on the findings discussed throughout this report.

127 N. FLORENE REZONE. PLEASE FOMD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PER PAGE 3 OF CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE REZONING APPLICATION. a. CURRENT OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY ARE WILLIAM C. AND ASHLEY T. FUGITT. THERE ARE NO CONTRACTS FOR SALE CURRENT NOR IN NEGOTIATIONS AT THIS TIME. b. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN 1971. THE CURRENT OWNER PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN 2017. CURRENT OWNER GUTTED AND RENOVATED THE INTERIORS OF THE 3 UNITS TO PROVIDE A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT WITH NEW LIFE. THE OWNER WOULD LIKE TO SPLIT THE EXISTING LOT INTO TWO LOTS AND CONSTRUCT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON THE NEWLY CREATED LOT. AS OF THE DATE OF APPLICATION, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NON-CONFORMING IN THAT IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED RA, IS LESS THAN 2 ACRES AND ALSO HAS AN EXISTING TRIPLEX RENTAL PROPERTY CONSTRUCTED. ADJACENT PROPERTIES IN THE AREA ARE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, TRIPLEXES AND DUPLEXES EITHER ON NON- CONFORMING RA LOTS OR IN THE RI-12 ZONE TO THE WEST. THE OWNER WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR REZONING TO RI-12 TO MATCH THE AJACENT PROPERTY BUT THE REQUIRED LOT SIZE IS 1.4% LARGER THAN THE ACTUAL SIZE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AS SUCH, THE RI-U ZONE WILL RESULT IN THE SAME OUTCOME AS REZONING TO RI-12 BUT NO VARIANCE WILL BE REQUIRED DUE TO LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS. c. THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL NOT AFFECT SURROUNDING PROPERTIES IN AN ADVERSE WAY. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ALL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, DUPLEXES AND TRIPLEXES WHICH IS THE INTENDED USE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED. IT IS THE OPINION OF THE APPLICANT THAT THE RI-U ZONE REQUESTED IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURRONDING EXISTING PROPERTIES IN THE R-12 ZONE AS WE ARE REQUESTING THE USE OF THE NEWLY ZONED PROPERTY TO BE SPLIT INTO TWO LOTS AND A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE CONSTRUCTED ON THE NEWLY CREATED PARCEL. THE END RESULT OF THIS PROCESS WILL RESULT IN ONE PARCEL WITH THE EXISTING TRI-PLEX WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING TRIPLEXES AND DUPLEXES ON FLORENE STREET AND A SECOND PARCEL WITH A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THE AREA. BOTH NEW PARCELS WILL MEET OR EXCEED THE MINIMUMS FOR THE
RI-U ZONE. THE RI-U ZONE REQUESTED IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING R-12 ZONE ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTYAS THE TWO ZONES (RI-U AND R-12) HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PERMITTED USES. AS SUCH, THE BASIC DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO ZONES FOR THIS EXAMPLE IS MINIMUM LOT SIZE. IN CONCLUSION, THE REZONING WILL RESULT IN A COMPATBLE SITUATION IN THAT THE REZONING WILL RESULT IN A TRIPLEX AND A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT MATCHES OR CONFORMS WITH THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY, DUPLEX AND TRIPLEX LOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. d. ALL STREETS AND UTILITIES ARE AVAILABLE AT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND NO NEW INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED. e. THE PROPOSED ZONING IS IN KEEPING WITH THE ADOPTED 2030 LAND USE PLAN AS WELL AS THE GOALS OF THAT PLAN. THIS REZONING WILL RESULT IN AN INFILL ON UNDER UTILIZED URBAN LAND, REDUCES URBAN SPRAWL BY GENERATING HOUSING NEAR THE I-49 CORRIDOR AND FINALLY, WILL PROVIDE AN ATTAINABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY TO THOSE IN NEED IN FAYETTEVILLE. f. WE BELIEVE THE ZONING IS JUSTIFIED AT THIS TIME AS THE RESULT WILL HAVE NO NEGATIVE EFFECTS BUT WILL, IN-FACT, OFFER POSITIVE EFFECTS PER SECTION (e) ABOVE. g. THE PROPOSED ZONING WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT TRAFFIC IN THE AREA. THE RESULT OF THIS REZONING WILL ONLY ADD ONE HOUSEHOLD TO THE ENTIRE AREA. h. SEE (g) ABOVE i. THE REASON IT IS IMPRACTICAL TO USE THE LAND UNDER IT S EXISTING ZONING IS THAT IT IS CURRENTLY A NON CONFORMING LOT UNDER THE CURRENT RA ZONING AND HAS NO POTENTIAL FOR THE UTILIZATION OF THE VACANT LAND AREA.
