Planner Gretchen Harrison said the parcel is in the RSF-4 district and currently undeveloped; fireworks sales require a conditional use in that zoning district.

Harrison said the applicant proposed a roughly 800-square-foot tent with two to three employees and an expected 50–100 customers per day, with peak hours from about 6 to 9 p.m. The proposed sales period is one week, June 28–July 5, with operating hours roughly 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Parking and driveway access would be provided via an adjacent commercial property to the west, which staff said offers about 20 spaces. Given the temporary nature of the operation, staff recommended approval without requiring site improvements beyond standard permitting and permitting conditions.

Applicant Michael Rutledge attended remotely and declined to add further detail beyond the staff presentation. No public comment was recorded on the item. Commissioner Cabe moved to approve CUP 2025030, citing compatibility with adjacent properties and staff conditions; the motion carried on a roll-call vote. The conditional use is subject to the conditions listed in the staff report and any applicable permitting and safety requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission 6.23.2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a temporary fireworks sales tent on a 0.52-acre RSF-4 property east of 5720 E.

Senior planner Donna Wansauer told the commission the property contains a 1,216-square-foot single-family dwelling the applicant proposes to use as a childcare center. The proposal would serve six children with one employee, operate Monday–Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and use an existing backyard for outdoor play. Wansauer said the required outdoor play-space minimum is 75 square feet per child and that the site “quite exceeds that,” and staff had received no public comments; staff recommended approval with the conditions listed in the staff report.

Applicant Laurie May described plans to care for three additional children beyond her own and said a family member lives two streets away and will move a vehicle during drop-off and pickup to free an on-site space. Commissioner Warner asked whether state law counts the operator’s own children in the child total; staff replied it does and that the applicant’s enrollment therefore triggers the CUP requirement.

Commissioner Warner moved to approve CUP 2025029 with compatibility conditions recommended by staff; the motion carried on a recorded roll call. The permit will proceed according to the conditions in the staff report and any applicable state licensing or registration requirements.","The Fayetteville Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for Laurie May to operate a small childcare center at 3406 West Buckeye Street; staff recommended approval after concluding the proposal met code standards for outdoor play area and compatibility with the residential neighborhood.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":46,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6154510,"Planning commission forwards rezoning near Southwest Avenue to council, keeps residential-only limit",2383,3165000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5484584-7dce786ed48b130dea2e5d92f1842132&start=782&end=3165","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5484584-7dce786ed48b130dea2e5d92f1842132/thumbnail_782000.jpg","/articles/6154510/Fayetteville-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Planning-commission-forwards-rezoning-near-Southwest-Avenue-to-council-keeps-residential-only-limit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154510-dbf09d6f806103877cadaddfca502648/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166019&Signature=CANd14CAkFB3I23ts29OlCyx5gA8SLQ6MShaTWnaeDSYLMHHvLY3LoqG6UbiNe3Gvr-kjxnSlgvCu89F0Fgc7NvG~ecSWzUdhVmRegL7wnNaaiSvQbcrL1pTp1~TGrSUwQk9R5KKEbJgF~hsjnk~V4LBUSe6kJrhY~MkW64gsuQHHbQkO~mmJI8vXqFGxHMXbD8DMywrj4KHlRB4VP9nmVy5T7GIybRSLzzaqCU2XrCCRJbQW4zbJJoyWKPZrcFmS5nNdtOxjYu~AEywXRP94~zfikk0kBHP5FYlkZ~tdt--9G3GhaJPqHOFgH~~4NdFdWIJ1NLou4~tgg7JPCbSbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fayetteville Planning Commission members voted on June 23 to forward a rezoning request by applicant Wesley Bates for a 0.12-acre parcel east of 1228 Southwest Avenue from RMF-24 (residential multifamily, 24 units/acre) to the Urban Neighborhood (UN) district, recommending approval to City Council while retaining an offered bill of assurance that would limit allowed uses to residential only.

Staff said the parcel, recently created by a lot split, falls inside the city’s City Plan 2040 future land use designation for residential neighborhoods and inside the 71B Corridor master plan area. Senior Planner Gretchen Harrison told the commission that, compared with RMF-24, UN would reduce the maximum building height from five stories to three, reduce the lot-width minimum (to 12 feet for residential uses), and change the tree-preservation requirement (from 20% to 15%). Staff recommended forwarding the rezoning with the offered bill of assurance, finding the UN district “largely compatible” with surrounding uses and aligned with the city’s infill and attainable-housing goals.

Applicant Wesley Bates described the proposal as an infill project that would produce three smaller, fee-simple houses—two in the interior and one fronting the alley—and said the approach is intended to yield affordable homeownership options, including an approximately 800-square-foot two-bedroom unit and a roughly 602-square-foot rear unit. Bates said recent code changes treating alley frontage as conforming enabled the site plan he is proposing.

Neighbors and architects spoke during public comment. Kathy Casita, who lives at 1227 Southwest Avenue, raised concerns about public-notification wording and compatibility with the neighborhood and asked that the commission table the item for more information. Architect Nick Thorn said the proposal is “a thoughtful infill development project that aligns with the city's goals and visions for the future of our city,” and Brian Teague of East Spring Street said he supported UN for this location, noting UN’s lower height limit compared with RMF-24.

Commission discussion focused on whether the offered bill of assurance (BOA) should remain. Commissioner Warner moved to recommend rejection of the BOA; that amendment failed on a roll-call vote (Brink: yes; Garlock: yes; McGatrick: yes; Casten: no; Werner: yes; Gulley: no; Madden: no; Gabe: no). The commission then voted to forward the rezoning to City Council with a recommendation of approval as presented (roll call recorded and motion carried). City Council will consider the rezoning and any binding conditions; staff and the commission noted that a rezoning does not bind the applicant to the site plan shown at the hearing.

If City Council approves UN for the parcel and the BOA remains, the BOA would stay with the property unless the council later amends or removes it. Staff clarified that fire and building-safety requirements are evaluated when site development or building permits are submitted and that building-code requirements would still apply to closely sited walls.

The commission’s recommendation will appear on an upcoming City Council agenda for final action.","The Fayetteville Planning Commission voted to forward a rezoning request for a 0.12-acre parcel east of 1228 Southwest Avenue from RMF-24 to Urban Neighborhood (UN) to City Council with a recommendation of approval; the commission rejected a motion to remove an offered bill of assurance that would limit the property to residential uses.","actionData","errors"]
