Unfinished Business

1. RZN 19-6853 (1278 W. Hendrix St./Fugitt) (Details)

An ordinance to rezone that property described in rezoning petition RZN 19-6853 for approximately 0.51 acres located at 1278 W. Hendrix Street from RSF-4, Residential Single Family, 4 units per acre to RSF-8, Residential Single Family, 8 units per acre.
Left on the second reading

Background:
This request was left on the first reading at the Nov. 19 meeting.

The property is at the corner of West Hendrix Street and North Addington Avenue, and include one single-family home built in 1951.

The applicant told city staff they would like to build up to four single family homes as a cluster housing development or four townhouses with a conditional use permit.

Both the Planning Commission and city staff recommend approval of the rezoning request.

Location:

Nov. 19 Discussion:
Two people spoke against the request and said it would break the character of the neighborhood by allowing more density. Kinion agreed.

Marsh said the area is close to transit stops, retail stores, services and restaurants. She said it’s the exact type of area where the city should encourage an increase in density and walkability. Scroggin agreed.

Turk said she thinks the integrity of the neighborhood is slowly being destroyed, especially with the new nearby multi-family complex behind Harps. She said one increase in density leads to another, and if the city continues down this path, she thinks every neighborhood around the university will one day have very small homes instead of what’s currently there. She said she won’t support the request.

Smith said he doesn’t see this as being out of character with the neighborhood, which already has many small homes. He said he is concerned about tree preservation and stormwater runoff in the area, though. He said he’d like some time to think more about this and visit the area before deciding.

Bunch said there are currently some drainage issues is the area, and she also has some concerns about the potential removal of trees in the neighborhood if this property is rezoned and developed. She said she’d also like to tour the area.

Marsh said this rezoning request has no effect on trees or stormwater, as neither the current or proposed districts are restricted by those regulations.

City staff said if the applicant decides to build cluster housing and is issued a conditional use permit to do so, that project would fall into the small-scale development category and would be subject to both stormwater and tree preservation regulations.

The council agreed to leave the item on the first reading. The discussion will continue on Dec. 3.

Dec. 3 Discussion:
One person who spoke against the proposal said there is a nearby property that was incorrectly zoned RI-12 by a city clerical error and then built upon, and that the property should not be used to justify whether this requested rezoning is appropriate.

Five other people spoke against the rezoning, most who said added density would damage the integrity of the existing neighborhood.

Scroggin said since the applicant is not present, he’d like to hold the item on the second reading. The council agreed. The discussion will continue on Dec. 17.


2. 2020 Annual Budget and Work Program (Details)

A resolution to adopt the 2020 Annual Budget and Work Program.
Pass 6-1

Background:
This resolution was tabled on Nov. 19.

This is to approve the 2020 budget. The full document can be found here.

Nov. 19 Discussion:
Marsh said she’d like to table the resolution for two weeks, to allow time for the Fayetteville Arts Council to meet and discuss possibly recommending that the city hire an Arts & Culture Coordinator as a full-time staff member.

Turk said with an expected budget deficit, she would only support adding another position if the city is somehow able to balance the budget by the end of the year. Marsh said the deficit wasn’t unexpected and the council knew this would happen, at least temporarily, when it voted to give raises to city employees.

The council voted 8-0 to table the resolution. The discussion will continue on Dec. 3.

Dec. 3 Discussion:
Petty said even though he voted against adding the Arts & Culture Coordinator item to the agenda, he said it’s a compelling idea that deserves discussion, and he felt was better to discuss it during the budget item. However, he said he’s not convinced it’s the right time to add that position considering the city is facing its first budget deficit in almost 10 years.

Marsh said when operating in a deficit, one way to resolve that issue is to raise revenue. She said the Arts & Culture Coordinator could help with economic development and, in turn, add revenue for the city.

Marsh said the city took a financial leap when it hired a director of economic vitality, and that position has proved to be successful. She said the city should do the same with the Arts & Culture Coordinator.

Gutierrez said it’s an important position, but she said she ran her campaign on fiscal responsibility and has reservations about adding the position now.

Molly Rawn, CEO of Experience Fayetteville, said her team is working to bring a proposal to the council to create a position for an entity that will manage the Cultural Arts Corridor. She said she’s worried that if this new position was created now, there might not be room for the position she’s currently planning for.

Mayor Jordan said he doesn’t think adding the position is a bad idea, but he doesn’t see any way to carve out enough money from other programs to create the position at this time.

Kinion said he agrees with Marsh, and now is the time to take a leap of faith with this position. He said a position was budgeted for last year, but that person was never hired so there is money somewhere that could be used for a new coordinator.

Paul Becker, the city’s finance director, said it’s true there is money that will roll over from the position that was never hired, but that money will be used to help lower the expected deficit.

Bob Stafford, chair of the Fayetteville Arts Council, said the council needs a dedicated city staff member to work with to coordinate and establish the ideas that it comes up with at its meetings.

Nick Zazal, director of events at the Walton Arts Center and a member of the Fayetteville Arts Council, said he thinks the new position is a good idea, but the timing isn’t right for hiring that person right now.

Peter Lane, president of the Walton Arts Center, said the city needs a cultural arts master plan to ensure the city is taking the right steps to be competitive within the region. He said hiring a coordinator is a great idea, but not before a plan is established.

Marsh moved to amend the budget to include the new position with funding to come from reserves in a maximum amount of $102,180. Kinion seconded. The amendment failed with only Marsh, Kinion and Smith voting in favor.

The discussion turned to about $400,000 which is budgeted for structural work needed to preserve the old produce building at West Avenue and Spring Street, which is leased to the Walton Arts Center by the city as part of the arts center campus.

At question is whether the city should spend that much money for a building the WAC has control of, and whether a new agreement should be considered that would return use of the building to the city since the WAC has mostly only used it for storage.

Turk said if the building is in poor shape, the city should fix it immediately since there is some interest in getting the building on the National Register of Historic Places. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone,” said Turk. Gutierrez and Bunch agreed.

Turk said she’d like to table the resolution again to leave more time for public consideration. Petty disagreed and said the budget has been available for long enough that the public should have a good grasp of what’s being proposed. Petty said unless removal of some major line item is at stake, the budget should be passed tonight.

City Attorney Williams said even if the budget is passed tonight, all the contracts it includes are still up for debate once they return to the council for final approval – including the $400,000 line item for the produce building.

Turk’s motion to table the item failed after Gutierrez, Petty, Scroggin and Bunch voted against (Kinion was not in the room during the vote).

Decision:
The motion to pass the budget passed 6-1. Marsh voted against. Kinion was absent.

A resolution to authorize an agreement with Chambers Bank to contribute and the City of Fayetteville to accept about 48 acres of banked parkland credits from the creation of Kessler Regional Park and for the City of Fayetteville to accept the proposed parkland acreage near Lierly Lane from TTO, LLC for a city park.

The bank already donated 200 acres for the creation of the park, and sold 328 acres to the city.

Background:
This resolution is to adopt City Plan 2040, including the Future Land Use Map, the Master Street Plan, and the Active Transportation Plan Map.

Discussion:
Some residents are here tonight with concerns about a planned trail through the Brooks-Hummel Nature Preserve behind Evelyn Hills Shopping Center. It would run from Mission Boulevard near North Street along Sublett Creek to the intersection of North College Avenue and Poplar Street. It’s a fairly flat route surrounded by steep topography, so staff believe it’s primed for a trail corridor, but some are worried about the impact a trail would have on the preserve. City staff said the trail isn’t scheduled for construction for at least the next 5-6 years, so they’ve designated it as an “alignment study area” to try and find a plan that suits everyone.

Here’s a map of the proposed Sublett Creek Trail:

Smith moved to table the resolution for two weeks. Scroggin seconded.

The council voted 7-0 to table the item until Dec. 17.


10. ADM 19-6652 (71B Corridor Plan) (Details)

A resolution to approve a work program to implement the 71B Corridor Plan.
Tabled 7-0 until Dec. 17

Background:
This resolution would adopt a work plan to implement the 71B Corridor Plan, which is aimed at improving the corridor’s economic vitality, increasing affordable housing, making it safe and convenient for all modes of travel, encouraging active and healthy living, and creating an attractive front door to Fayetteville’s downtown and adjacent neighborhoods.

Consultants with RDG Planning+Design have completed a detailed parcel-by-parcel analysis of the entire corridor. Over the last several months the consultant has been preparing the final document incorporating comments from the Planning Commission, City Council members, staff, and numerous other stakeholders.

Revisions to the plan over the last few months include many items. Primary new work products include a detailed Regulating Plan that provides the framework for the land development regulations to implement the plan. The Regulating Plan also provides a guide for future zoning, site development, and future policy decisions that correspond directly with the Illustrative plan and Transportation Framework Plan. Another new work product is the Implementation chapter outlining short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals and action steps.

Additionally, the scope of the project was expanded to include a more detailed land use and urban design concept for portions of the South School Avenue segment of the corridor. On September 17, 2019 the City Council voted to accept ownership and maintenance responsibilities for highway 71B from the Arkansas Department of Transportation between the Fulbright Expressways, subject to conditions. This transfer will allow the city approval authority for future improvements to this portion of 71B.

The final draft plan document is posted on the project website at www.fayetteville-ar.gov/3444/71B-Corridor-Plan

The Planning Commission on Nov. 12 unanimously approved the plan, including construction of improvements shown in the plan, as well as rezoning and associated regulating plan to be initiated by the commission.

Discussion:
The presentation about the plan lasted until about 11:40 p.m.

After the presentation, council member Marsh said she’d like for the Transportation Committee to discuss the plan before it’s approved. Staff said if the council tables the resolution, it could be taken up at the next committee meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Then it could be brought back to the council on Dec. 17.

The council voted 7-0 to table the resolution.
