On August 30, 2019 the FAYETTEVILLE LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE and the CITY OF FATYETTEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION unanimously recommended to the CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE that ADM 19-6746 to UDC Chaper 172.11 be approved, citing that the amendment would strengthen the intent of the city’s form-based zoning districts.
As part of Fayetteville’s City Plan 2030, the City of Fayetteville has “implemented several new zoning designations [which]….feature build-to-zones and other form-based requirements that are designed to recognize existing development patterns in historic neighborhoods around downtown, and promote new development that is in keeping with that specific character.” **
Therefore, to better ensure new development adheres to the city’s future vision – Amendment 19-6746 seeks to place size requirements on driveways, whereby the size of a driveway would be determined by the size of the lot on which a house sits.
This ordinance most notably affects new construction neighborhoods with smaller lots as driveway size would be limited to a maximum of 20% of the lot width (meaning many new driveways could be limited to 10′ wide). These restrictions would apply to the length of the driveway from the street as well.
Advocates and opponents of these measures plan to voice their opinions at the Fayettevile City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 1 at 5:30 PM located at 113 W. Mountain, Rm 219, Fayetteville AR. 72703.
