MEETING OF MARCH 5, 2019 TO: Mayor, Fayetteville City Council THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Garner Stoll, Development Services Director Andrew Garner, Planning Director FROM: Harry Davis, Planner DATE: February 15, 2019 SUBJECT: RZN 19-6524: Rezone (2827 E. WHIPPOORWILL LN./ROTH FAMILY

PARTNERSHIP, 411): Submitted by BATES & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located at 2827 E. WHIPPOORWILL LN. The properties are zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contain approximately 2.14 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone the subject property to RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, as shown in the attached Exhibits ‘A’ and ‘B’. BACKGROUND: The subject property is comprised of two parcels located near the southeast corner of Crossover Road and Whippoorwill Lane. The property totals approximately 2.14 acres, is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre, and is currently developed with a single-family home on the easternmost lot. The westernmost parcel has a small pond. Request: The request is to rezone the property from RSF-4 to RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre. The applicant stated they may want to subdivide the property and build new single-family homes. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding properties. RSF-8 is limited in size, density, and single-family only by-right. Since this zoning district has a front setback, future development can be located at a similar distance from the road like adjacent homes. Due to the location of the property being somewhat isolated at the entrance at this subdivision, the size of the property, and a mix of surrounding residential types, staff does not anticipate an 8 unit per acre density to be detrimental to surrounding properties and uses. Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff believes that the proposal is compatible with the goals in City Plan 2030, adopted land use policies, and the future land use designation for this location. This

property, designated as a Residential Neighborhood Area, envisions primarily residential uses in a variety of complimentary building types and configurations. RSF-8 would allow higher range of residential density not allowed in the current zoning district. For this location in particular, having a greater density of residential development would contribute to a transect of density and intensity from Crossover Road into adjacent neighborhoods. DISCUSSION: On February 11, 2019, the Planning Commission forwarded the proposal to City Council with a recommendation for approval by a vote of 7-0-1, with Commissioner Winston dissenting. As a part of discussion, several members of the public spoke in opposition to the proposal citing concerns over pedestrian safety, increased traffic, decrease property values and neighborhood character, drainage impacts, and objection to an increased density. For the dissenting Commissioner, they wished to have more information available about the existing pond on the subject property with a determination on its importance for stormwater management and drainage for the surrounding neighborhood.

TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission THRU: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director FROM: Harry Davis, Planner MEETING DATE: February 11, 2019 SUBJECT: RZN 19-6524: Rezone (2827 E. WHIPPOORWILL LN./ROTH FAMILY

PARTNERSHIP, 411): Submitted by BATES & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located at 2827 E. WHIPPOORWILL LN. The properties are zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contain approximately 2.14 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 19-6524 to City Council, based on the findings contained in this report. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to forward RZN 19-6524 to City Council with a recommendation for approval.” BACKGROUND: The subject property is comprised of two parcels located near the southeast corner of Crossover Road and Whippoorwill Lane. The property totals approximately 2.14 acres, is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre, and is currently developed with a single-family home on the easternmost lot. The westernmost parcel has a small pond. Surrounding land uses and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Table 1 Surrounding Land Use and Zoning

Direction Land Use Zoning North Single-family Residential; Duplex RMF-24, Residential Multi-family, 24 Units per Acre South Single-family Residential RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre East Single-family Residential RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre West Single-family Residential RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 Units per Acre

Request: The request is to rezone the parcel from RSF-4 to RSF-8, Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre. The applicant stated they may want to subdivide the property and build new single-family homes. Public Comment: Staff has met with several members of the public about this request that have made general inquiries about the proposal. Several neighbors did submit a list of concerns (see attached) that included pedestrian safety, the concept that this proposal would lead to more requests for rezoning, a decrease in neighborhood character as a result of the proposed rezone, traffic, and objections to greater density.

G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2019\Development Services\19-6524 RZN 2827 E. Whippoorwill Ln. (Roth Family Partnership) 411\

INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The subject area has frontage access to East Whippoorwill Lane, a partially

improved local street with asphalt paving and curb and gutter. In addition, the property has frontage access to Crossover Road, a fully improved principal arterial and state highway. Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time of development proposal. Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of development.

Water: Public water is available to the subject area. An existing 2.25-inch watermain is

present along East Whippoorwill Lane that could serve the eastern portion of the site. An extension of this main might be required at the time of development to serve the western portion of the site.

Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the subject area. An existing 8-inch sanitary sewer

main runs along the southern boundary of the subject area. Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at

time of development. No portion of this property is identified as FEMA regulated floodplains. There are no protected streams present in the subject parcel. No portion of this parcel lies within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District. Hydric soils appear to be present in a small portion of the property. There is an existing pond located in this area.

. Fire: The site will be protected by Ladder 5, located at 2979 N. Crossover Road. The

property is located approximately 1.6 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of approximately 4 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time would be approximately 6.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn-out time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time goal of 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes for a ladder truck.

Police: The Police Department expressed no concerns with this request. CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates the properties within the proposed rezone 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: Staff believes that the proposal is compatible with

the goals in City Plan 2030, adopted land use policies, and the future land use designation for this location. This property, designated as a Residential Neighborhood Area, envisions primarily residential uses in a variety of

Page 8: Fayetteville Flyer - Budget Impact: Account Number · 2019. 3. 4. · G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2019\Development Services\19-6524 RZN 2827 E. Whippoorwill Ln. (Roth Family

G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2019\Development Services\19-6524 RZN 2827 E. Whippoorwill Ln. (Roth Family Partnership) 411\

complimentary building types and configurations. RSF-8 would allow higher range of residential density not allowed in the current zoning district. For this location in particular, having a greater density of residential development would contribute to a transect of density and intensity from Crossover Road into adjacent neighborhoods.

Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding properties. RSF-8 is limited in size, density, and single-family only by-right. Since this zoning district has a front setback, future development can be located at a similar distance from the road like adjacent homes. Due to the location of the property being somewhat isolated at the entrance at this subdivision, the size of the property, and a mix of surrounding residential types, staff does not anticipate an 8 unit per acre density to be detrimental to surrounding properties and uses.

2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: Staff believes that there is sufficient justification for rezoning the property to

RSF-8. This justification includes diversifying the mix of residential types close to Crossover Road through allowing varied lot sizes and densities by-right.

3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: Rezoning the property to RSF-8 would increase traffic to this location above

the potential of the current zoning district, but the impact is not expected to be significant given the surrounding improved road network.

4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and

thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and sewer facilities.

Finding: Rezoning the property to RSF-8 would increase the load on public services

above the potential of the current zoning district, but the impact is not expected to be significant given the evaluation by the various city divisions.

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

Mr. Harry Davis City of Fayetteville Planning Division 125 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: RZN-6524-19 Dear Mr. Davis, This is in reference to our phone conversation yesterday afternoon. During this conversation you told me that in order for homeowners to have their input on this rezoning proposal be part of the record and included in your report to the Planning Commission, they needed to send this input to you by no later than noon today. However, we were not previously informed of this deadline. I made an attempt to reach as many homeowners as possible with this information but was not able to contact them all. After discussion with several other homeowners, we decided to list our major concerns as a group so that you can include them in your report. These are the main concerns and objections to the proposed rezoning:

• Proposed rezoning seeking high density is incompatible with the low density of existing neighborhood lots

• Vehicular traffic bottlenecks at intersections which are the only two access points to the neighborhood

• Increased vehicular traffic around the Whippoorwill-Inwood loop, which lacks sidewalks

• Neighborhood pedestrian and child safety

• Setting a precedent for future continued rezoning of other neighborhood parcels to higher density

• Deterioration of neighborhood environmental surroundings and ambiance

• Greater noise pollution from Crossover Road due to the removal of a large number of trees

• Flooding in rezoned lots due to their location and the removal of a large number of trees

• Failure to sell proposed homes, resulting in those homes becoming rentals

• Negative impact on existing homeowner property values

As we discussed, neighborhood homeowners may continue to submit their input individually through email, phone conversations, and the February 11th public meeting, before the Planning Commission makes its recommendation to the City Council. Sincerely, Eileen McGarry 2976 E. Whippoorwill Ln. Fayetteville, AR 72701

Mr. Harry Davis City of Fayetteville Planning Division 125 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: RZN-6524-19 Dear Mr. Davis, The following is a list of our objections to the proposed rezoning as homeowners that will be negatively impacted if the rezoning is permitted. Setting a precedent for future continued rezoning of other neighborhood parcels to higher density We are not against additional development in this neighborhood. In fact, building single family homes on these parcels might help prevent future rezoning of this area into commercial zoning at some time in the future, due to the nature of Crossover Rd. in general. However, we object to the number of tract splits being proposed which is the stated reason for the rezoning request by the developer, i.e. reducing minimal lot frontage from 70 to 50 feet. This is an attempt to shoehorn an unreasonable number of houses into tiny lots. We fear that if this is accomplished, a domino effect will occur as future parcels come up for sale. In fact, sales may occur in addition to the usual reasons because of other homeowners wanting to flee this development and the resulting traffic problems (see below) it adds. By domino effect, we mean similar future rezoning requests which can then point to this rezoning as a precedent. This would completely destroy the character of our present neighborhood, which is rustic, open, wooded, relatively quiet, and safe. These are the reasons we as retirees bought our current home. We bought it as much for the character of the neighborhood as for the house.

Traffic Problems We have only two access points in and out of this neighborhood… the intersections at Crossover and Whippoorwill, and at Crossover and Inwood. As we have stated in our phone conversation, there is already a problem in that we regularly have bumper to bumper traffic jams from the light at the Mission/Crossover intersection all the way back past Inwood Lane. This makes a left turn impossible at those times, and a right turn possible only if cars on Crossover yield. Putting this many homes right at the stress point, at the intersection of Crossover and Whippoorwill, with their driveways emptying onto Whippoorwill will exacerbate this problem. It will also increase vehicular traffic around the Whippoorwill-Inwood loop, as drivers seek to find the best route in and out. This entire problem will increase as more people move to Fayetteville and more commercial and residential infill occurs in our immediate surrounding area. This neighborhood is and will be particularly affected because of northbound commuters to Springdale/Rogers/Bentonville, northbound travelers to NWA mall (accessed by Crossover and Joyce) and the major shopping center on the SE corner of Crossover and Mission which is two blocks north of us. The aggregate infill occurring along Crossover near Mission not only affects our neighborhood, but other neighborhoods nearby as well as commuters in general.

Neighborhood pedestrian and child safety Currently homeowners use the loop to walk dogs, walk with children, push baby carriages, etc. This loop has no sidewalks. Therefore, increased vehicular traffic around this loop presents a danger to pedestrians, especially children. We explained in the section on traffic problems why we believe this will occur.

Negative impact on existing homeowner property values We believe all of these problems listed above will have a negative impact on our property values and decrease the desirability of our property to future prospective buyers.

Thank you for the opportunity to express our concerns in this matter. Sincerely, Mike & Eileen McGarry 2976 E. Whippoorwill Ln. Fayetteville, AR 72701

Rezoning – RZN 19-6524 2/11/2019

Hello. My name is Carey Holmes and my wife Karen and I have lived in the Crossover Heights subdivision on Stardust Lane for 20 years.

I would like to take a minute to review the letter (no date shown) submitted by Bates & Associates on behalf of Roth Family Partnership and Elite Equity Group of AR for rezoning.

They say their reason for this request is to “take advantage of the minimal lot frontage requirements of RSF-8 zoning”. That’s legal speak for “to build as many buildings as possible”. They’re in the business of making money. They purchased the 2 lots in March 2015 and have tried to sell these properties without success. Instead of building homes in line with the neighborhood, they are asking the citizens of Fayetteville to forgive their bad investment and split the properties so they can build multiple homes or rentals in hopes of recouping their bad investment. They don’t live in this area and don’t care about the affect it has on the neighborhood or the city of Fayetteville.

Speaking of, they also say the rezoning will “not have an adverse effect on the uses and will have little effect on the traffic…”. Every weekday morning, traffic is backed up past Whippoorwill and Inwood to Lovers Lane and beyond. My wife and I both have to wait on someone to allow us to exit our street to enter Hwy 265. Adding an additional 6 homes or rental properties will add on average 18 extra autos to the congestion. More importantly, these new residents parking vehicles along Whippoorwill will deny entry from Hwy 265 when others are exiting. So, the effect is deterioration of neighborhood quality and more congestion at the intersection which makes for a dangerous and somewhat deadly entry onto and exit from Whippoorwill.

They comment that “rezoning would improve the area as a whole”. I find it hard to believe that even they can honestly say that it would improve the area!! Is everyone familiar with the Mission Heights subdivision just west of Park Place on Mission Ave which is less than a mile away from our neighborhood? The developers were allowed a rezoning to build homes/rental properties much like the ones being proposed here and those properties sit empty, an eyesore to the community but mostly a black eye for the Planning Commission and City Council Members that agreed to the zoning. That property sat empty for many, many years and after several tries at a variety of plans with several different developers, they approved a rezoning, just like this property is going through now. A bad investment gone wrong. So, improve the area as a whole they say? I believe our neighbors and community would argue otherwise and Mission Heights is a prime example of why allowing a rezoning will not be an improvement.

In closing, the rezoning request is not in line with the surrounding neighborhoods and communities, would increase the amount of traffic, street side parking, and create overcrowding in a quiet community. It would also deteriorate an existing community by devaluing properties and create an eyesore to an otherwise beautiful and longstanding neighborhood. Therefore, Karen and I would urge the Planning Commission and the City Council to NOT approve the rezoning request.
