6.11 Assessment Appeal for 5978 Lakeway Drive (PIN 0405-08-6218)
As part of Phase 5 Annexation Project Areas 18 and 19, property
owner Wendy Hancuff requested a review of her assessment. Upon
reviewing the request, it was determined that the Cumberland County
database for her property was incorrect. PWC staff agrees with the
appeal based on this clerical error and requests that the assessment
be reduced from $14,213.00 to $7,545.00. The assessment was paid in
full and PWC will issue a refund for $6,668.00.
6.12 Assessment Appeal for 1612 South Reilly Road (PIN 9497-10-3291)
As part of Phase 5 Annexation Project Areas 18 & 19, property
owners Vernon and Rosa Mae Manuel requested a review of their
assessment. Upon reviewing the request, the City Attorney determined,
based upon information available at the time of review, that the
property type was misclassified due to clerical error at the time of
the assessment. PWC staff does not object to a reduction in the
assessment from $12,907.00 to $5,000.00 based on this determination.
The property owner has paid $5,000.00 towards the assessment.

6.16 Petition: Acceptance and Addition of Streets within the Wendover
Place Subdivision into the City of Fayetteville System of Streets
At the September 3, 2019, work session following a request by
Council Members Mohn and Crisp and supported by consensus of the
Council, City staff was asked to bring forward a plan for the
acceptance of the currently private streets in the Wendover Place
subdivision. This required two actions by Council. At the October
14, 2019, Council meeting, staff was directed to work with the
Wendover Place Home Owners Association (HOA) to prepare the necessary
documentation in order for the City to assume control and future
maintenance responsibility for the three Wendover Place streets. This
required a re-plat of the subdivision to dedicate the streets as
public. The Wendover HOA has finalized its dedication offer by
recording a new plat dedicating the streets for public use in the
Cumberland County Register of Deeds. The second action requires staff
to return to Council for acceptance and addition of these newly plated
streets. Council approved the three Wendover Place streets for
inclusion in the City of Fayetteville system of streets.

7.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS
7.01 TA19-060: An amendment to Section 30-4.C.4.i.7.b of the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) to delete the minimum lot width
requirement for uses that include the retail sales of gasoline
and other automotive fuels, applicant Harris Teeter Properties,
LLC.
Mr. Craig Harmon, Planner, presented this item with the aid of a
PowerPoint presentation and stated Harris Teeter Properties, LLC,
desires to construct a fuel station to the front of their existing
store on Raeford Road on the site previously occupied by Applebee’s.
Under the UDO, in order for a site to be developed for gasoline sales,
the lot must have a minimum lot width of 150 feet. If it is a corner
lot, 200 feet of linear frontage is required for each street. The
proposed redevelopment of the Applebee’s site at 2702 Raeford Road is
a corner lot and does not meet this requirement. On October 15, 2019,
the Planning Commission recommended approval per Planning staff’s
recommendation.
Within the UDO, the use and features of a property are regulated
by the underlying zoning district. This includes the minimum lot area
and lot width requirements. There are uses that due to their potential
to become nuisances require additional standards beyond those
established by the underlying zoning district. The retail sale of
gasoline and other automotive fuels is one such use, due to the
volatility of the product being dispensed. Staff is supportive of
requiring large lots for these types of uses. However, the lot width
DRAFT
requirement, particularly for corner lots, limits the redevelopment
potential for unused or underutilized commercial properties. The
elimination of this provision increases the flexibility developers
have with site design, while complying with the UDO. Prior to making
this recommendation, staff compared this requirement with like-sized
jurisdictions and found that the City’s UDO was the only one which
contained this provision.
Discussion ensued.
This is the advertised public hearing set for this date and time.
There was no one present to speak and the public hearing was opened
and closed.

2. The proposed amendment is not in conflict with any provision of this Ordinance, or any related City
regulations.
3. The proposed amendment will align with Code with NC General Statutes, NC Building Codes, and various other
regulations and requirements within the City and the
Code.
4. The proposed amendment addresses a community need to provide the best Codes as possible for interpretation,
enforcement and compliance.
5. The proposed amendment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning districts in this Ordinance
and do ensure efficient development within the City.

amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance.
Mr. Taurus Freeman, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented this
item with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation and stated the
following 6 text amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)
were part of 20 amendments that were heard by the Planning Commission
on July 29, 2019. These amendments were recommendations by the
Mayoral-appointed Unified Development Ordinance Task Force. Unlike the
previous amendments, whereas staff recommended “slight” modifications
to the original Task Force recommendations for clarity, these 6
amendments have a mixture of recommendations that differs from the UDO
Task Force: two items were remanded to the Corridor Revitalization
Committee for further review and comment (TA19-037 and TA19-057); one
DRAFT
item is to be remanded back to staff for further analysis (TA19-036);
no action will be taken on one item (TA19-042); and two items have
varying recommendations (TA19-041 and TA19-046). The Planning
Commission followed the recommendation of Planning staff for four of
the six amendments and two from the UDO Task Force. The proposed text
amendments are as follows:
TA19-036: 30-5.A.11.f, Pedestrian Pathway (Staff’s Recommendation)
TA19-037: 30-5.B.2.a, Nonconformities (Staff’s Recommendation)

6.07 Adoption of Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2020-29, Award of
Terminal Improvements Part II Construction Contract to Resolute
Building Company, and Authorization for the City Manager to
Execute the Contract
Mr. Bradley Whited, Airport Director, presented this item and
stated the funding sources proposed to be appropriated for the project
include future Federal Aviation Administration grants for which
funding commitments have already been received but for which grants
have not yet been awarded ($4,041,108.00); North Carolina Department
of Transportation funding for which only one of two years of
anticipated funding has been appropriated and grants for both years
are yet to be awarded ($5,371,414.00); and future collections of
Passenger Facility Charges. While these funds have yet to be
officially awarded or collected, staff is comfortable that the funding
commitments are reliable and collections can reasonably be
anticipated. At this time, an additional appropriation of Airport Net
Assets of $5,726,984.00 is necessary to provide the balance of funding
required for the project. Additional grant funding of $2,468,167 is
anticipated from FAA discretionary fund as the balance of a planned
commitment of $10,000,000.00. As this anticipated funding is
committed, or other grant funds received, the appropriation of Airport
Net Assets will be offset and funds returned to the Operating Fund.
There is no impact to the General Fund as the project appropriation is
to be funded by dedicated Airport funding sources including
DRAFT
accumulated operating fund net assets, restricted Passenger and
Customer Facility Charges, and Federal Aviation Administration and
North Carolina Department of Transportation grant funds.
MOTION: Council Member Waddell moved to adopt Capital Project
Ordinance Amendment 2020-29 as presented; award the Part II
Terminal Improvement construction contract to Resolute
Building Company at 211 Cloister Court, Chapel Hill, NC
27514, in the total amount of $27,566,100.00; and authorize

COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
All
..b
Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal 3: High Quality Built Environment
Goal 4: Desirable Place to Live, Work and Recreate
Executive Summary:
The Council is asked to approve award of and authorize the execution of a contract for
Sykes Pond Road Bridge Replacement. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder,
Smith Rowe, LLC Mount Airy, NC, is recommended.
Background:
A storm event on September 29, 2016 washed away a culvert and the road embankment
on Sykes Pond Road at Little Rockfish Creek. The extensive damage caused the City to
conduct an engineering evaluation on the most appropriate repair. After a hydrologic and
hydraulic analysis was conducted, it was determined the most cost effective alternative
would be to place a bridge at this location.
This contract will consist of bridge construction, water main construction, roadway
reconstruction, storm drainage, and erosion control. The bridge will consist of a single
span box beam bridge for the crossing over Little Rockfish Creek including roadway
approach work. The project will also include an aerial waterline crossing.

RE:
Adoption of Capital Project Ordinance Amendments 2020-30 and 2020-31 to
Transfer Grant Funding between the Project Appropriations for the Connector
Trail between the Cape Fear River Trail and Linear Park Connector and the Cape
Fear River Trail Phase II and to Appropriate Additional General Fund Transfer for
the Connector Trail, and Award of the Construction Contract for Cape Fear River
Trail Phase II - Part C as Re-Advertised ..end
COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
All
..b
Relationship To Strategic Plan:
High Quality Built Environment
Executive Summary:
Council is asked to adopt Capital Project Ordinance Amendments (CPOA’s) 2020-30
and 2020-31 to transfer $161,392 of Federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
grant funds received through the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
from the Cape Fear River Trail (CFRT) - Linear Park Connector Trail (Connector Trail) to
CFRT Phase II and to appropriate $60,000 of General Fund funding to complete the
CFRT - Linear Park Connector Trail.
The Council is also requested to approve the award of and authorize the execution of a
contract for the construction of the Cape Fear River Trail Phase II - Part C Project, as
Page 1 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1171
re-advertised. The contract is recommended to be awarded to FSC II, LLC dba Fred
Smith Company, Raleigh, NC, as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
Background:
On March 27, 2017 the Parks and Recreation Department (PRM) was awarded a
$161,392 Federal TAP grant through the NCDOT. During preparations for the
construction of the Connector Trail, PRM staff determined that the construction standards
of the NCDOT could not be met as planned. At the request of the City, NCDOT issued
supplemental agreement #7 to transfer the grant funding for use to complete the CFRT
Phase II - Part C project.
The net impact of the transfer of $161,392 of grant funds out of and the $60,000 General
Fund transfer into the Connector Trail project reduces the total project appropriation from
$286,392 to $185,000. PRM staff advise that this amount is sufficient to complete the
Connector Trail.
The Cape Fear River Trail Phase 2, Part C project shall consist of the construction of
1,209 linear feet (0.23 miles) long 10-ft. wide asphalt/concrete multi-use trail with 2-ft.
crushed stone shoulders and 3-ft. turf shoulders from J. Bayard Clark Park & Nature
Center and Highway 301 near the Cape Fear Botanical Garden.
The project was advertised for bids to be opened on November 12, 2019; however, only
two bids were received. Therefore, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes,
which require three bids in order to open the first advertisement, the project was
re-advertised and bids were opened on November 20, 2019.
Bids received are as follows:
$2,424,242.00 FSC II, LLC dba Fred Smith Company, Raleigh, NC
$3,242,627.51 Browe Construction Company, Selma, NC
$3,990,798.00 Crowder Construction Company, Charlotte, NC
Issues/Analysis:
Funds previously appropriated to the CFRT Phase II - Part C project are sufficient to
satisfy the required 20 percent non-federal local grant match.
Budget Impact:
The FY20 General Fund budget includes sufficient funding to provide for the $60,000
transfer for the Connector Trail project. The transfer of grant funds between the two
projects does not impact the current General Fund operating budget.
Options:
· Adopt CPOA’s 2020-30 and 2020-31, and authorize the award and execution of
the contract by the City Manager as recommended by staff.
Page 2 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1171
· Do not adopt the CPOA’s or award the contract and provide further direction to
staff.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that Council move to adopt Capital Project Ordinance Amendments
2020-30 and 2020-31 as presented, and to approve the contract award and to authorize
the City Manager to execute a contract for the construction of Cape Fear River Trail
Phase II - Part C as re-advertised, with the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder FSC II,
LLC dba Fred Smith Company, Raleigh, NC in the total amount of $2,424,242.00 as
presented.

RE:
Adoption of Clerical Correction for Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2020-
29 Adopted by Council on December 9, 2019 ..end
COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
All
..b
Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal IV: Fayetteville will be a highly desirable place to live, work, and recreate with
thriving neighborhoods and a high quality of life for all residents.
· Objective D: To develop and maintain public transportation investments with high
quality transit and airport services.
· Target for Action: Ensure Airport Terminal Renovation project is on time and on
budget.
Executive Summary:
On December 9, 2019, Council adopted Capital Project Ordinance Amendment (CPOA)
2020-29 to appropriate $32,066,100 for the Part II Airport Terminal Renovation Project.
Through a clerical error, the CPOA appropriated total revenues $100 less than intended
and the ordinance was unbalanced. Staff recommends adopting the corrected version of
CPOA 2020-29 to appropriate the additional $100 transfer from the Airport Operating
Fund to balance the project ordinance appropriation as of the original adoption date.
Background:
The version of CPOA 2020-29 as adopted on December 9, 2019 is attached for
Page 1 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1179
reference purposes, along with the proposed correction.
Issues/Analysis:
There is no change to the total appropriation for the project. The corrected CPOA will
simply appropriate the originally intended amount of funding from the Airport Operating
Fund to balance the revenue and expenditure appropriations in the CPOA.
Budget Impact:
The additional $100 transfer is available in the current Airport Operating Fund budget.
Options:
· Adopt the corrected version of CPOA 2020-29 to add $100 to revenue
appropriations to balance against expenditure appropriations.
· Direct staff to amend the CPOA to reduce the total project appropriation by $100.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that Council move to adopt the corrected version of Capital Project
Ordinance Amendment 2020-29 effective with the original adoption date of December 9,
2019.

Adoption of Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance 2020-9 to Appropriate a
Grant Award for Phase 1 of the Conservation Restoration Plan for Cross Creek

COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
2
..b
Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal 4 - The City of Fayetteville will be a highly desirable place to live, work and recreate
with thriving neighborhoods and a high quality of life for its citizens.
Executive Summary:
The City has received notification of a $65,000 grant award from the Cumberland
Community Foundation. Funding from this grant will be used for site assessment,
surveying, and design; initial monument restoration; and partial planting of indigenous
flora for Cross Creek Cemetery #1. Staff is seeking authorization to accept the grant
award and Council adoption of Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance 2020-9 to
appropriate the funding.
Background:
The Cumberland Community Foundation awards grant funds annually through a
competitive application process. These endowments provide support for the most
promising opportunities and greatest needs in the community at the discretion of the
Page 1 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1187
Foundation.
Cross Creek Cemetery #1, bounded by N. Cool Spring & Grove Street, is one the crown
jewels of the community. Over time its appearance and position in the community has
greatly diminished. Dating back to 1785, the lives of those interred span three periods of
history - Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War - and this location is the final resting place
of many notable patriotic citizens that were instrumental in shaping our community, state
and, in some cases, our nation.
This three phase project is designed to:
• Conserve the significant history of the site incorporating interpretive signage, historic
tours, educational outreach materials and community events;
• Restore the natural beauty of the cemetery using indigenous flora of the period as well
as restore its monuments, 100 of which are nationally recognized as “works of art” by the
US National Register of Historic Places, and
• Preserve the hallowed ground where so many are honored and respected.
Issues/Analysis:
The grant performance period is January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
Budget Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund as there is no local match required for the grant.
Options:
1) Adopt Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance 2020-9.
2) Do not adopt Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance 2020-9 and provide additional
direction to staff.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that Council move to adopt Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance
2020-9 as presented.

RE:
Parks and Recreation Bond Spending Plan Approval and Adoption of Capital
Project Ordinance 2020-23 Appropriating Funding for the Tennis Center Project ..end
COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
All
..b
Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal 4: Desirable Place to Live, Work and Recreate
Executive Summary:
As projects are completed, Council direction regarding the adjustments to the Park Bond
Spending Plan is needed. This plan was last updated in November of 2018. After
Council discussion during the Work Session of January 6, 2020, the following actions are
proposed:
· Adoption of the revised Park Bond Spending Plan
· Adoption of Capital Project Ordinance (CPO) 2020-23 to fund the Tennis Center
Background:
The initial financial plan was developed based on January 4, 2016, Council action to
identify the projects to be funded by the Park Bond and allocate funding to each (minutes
attached). The current plan includes adjustments to the timing of some projects based on
Council direction including increasing funding for the senior centers and adjusting the
timing and location for the sports field projects.
Page 1 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1183
The current plan, approved by Council in November 2018, responded to an offer from Ft.
Bragg to make property off of McArthur Rd. available to the City for the development of
sports fields. Ft. Bragg proposed to provide the property through a no cost 50 year lease
in subsequent conversations. Moving that project at that time from the Military Business
Park (the location identified by Council prior to that meeting) to the McArthur Rd. location
allowed funding that had been identified for property acquisition and site improvements to
be reallocated to sport field improvements.
Other actions taken by Council in November 2018 included:
· Identifying Cliffdale & E.E. Miller Splash Pads as Future Unfunded
· Split the funding for the “TBD” Splash Pad among two new projects;
o Stadium Play Space (installing a permanent play structure and other
improvements in this area of the stadium)
o Plaza Fountain (a water feature in the public plaza between the stadium,
Prince Charles, and the new parking garage and mixed use building)
· Split the Sports Field Complex project into two projects with soccer going to the
Jordan Soccer Complex and baseball going to the new McArthur Rd. location
· Reduce funding for the Cape Fear River Park to balance total expenditures at $35
million
· Adjusted timing of projects
There have been a few key developments since the Council’s last action. The City was
unable to develop an agreeable partnership with Methodist University to enhance the
Jordan Soccer Complex. Discussions with the Department of Defense regarding the
long-term lease of the property at McArthur Rd. have been slower than expected. The
Senior Center West project has been delayed.
Work Session Discussion:
The discussion focused on three issues described in the previous agenda memorandum
and reflected in the proposed Spending Plan:
· Moving the Tennis Center Project to FY20 and FY21
· The inclusion of net bond premium revenues and interest into the funding plan
· The location and configuration of the sports field project(s)
The consensus of Council supported moving forward with the Tennis Center Project. The
CPO to appropriate the necessary funding to initiate this project is attached for Council
consideration.
The discussion regarding the inclusion of additional funding sources into the spending
plan was less clear. While a slight majority of those present indicated a willingness to
utilize these sources, some concerns were expressed. Further, staff had allocated these
funding sources to the Cape Fear River Park project, but Council did not discuss whether
this allocation was appropriate. That project is not scheduled to begin until FY23 and, as
was clarified during the discussion, there is no urgency regarding the decision of whether
to use these funds and if so for what purpose. Staff has revised the proposed spending
plan to identify these funds as “Unallocated” in the “Other Sources” column of the
Page 2 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1183
spending plan. This will support tracking of these resources to support future Council
direction on their use whether that be to support projects or to pay off debt.
The Council did not reach consensus regarding the location for the sports field project.
That ambiguity was already reflected in the proposed spending plan which does not
identify a location for that facility. Staff will develop additional information regarding the
two sites discussed; McArthur Rd. and Fields Rd., and provide that to the Council to
support further discussion.
Issues/Analysis:
Project Timing: If Council adopts CPO 2020-23 appropriating the funding for the Tennis
Center, then staff will initiate the project by selecting and contracting with a design team.
Consistent with state law, the City muse use a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) based
selection process to identify the best qualified team with which to negotiate a design
contract. That process usually takes a minimum of 90 days. Once the design team is
under contract, the project will move through the three phases of design: Schematic,
Design Development (DD), and Construction Drawings (CD).
Key issues to be decided during the Schematic phase include:
· The preliminary site plan (this will determine if additional property should be
acquired)
· Project scope (square footage of building, parking spaces, number of tennis
courts, etc.)
· Initial project cost estimates.
The project will be put out to bid once full construction drawings have been completed.
This is a standard Design Bid Build process. The design process will require nine to
twelve months and construction from 18 to 24 months.
Sports Field Project:
With the removal of the Jordan Soccer Complex from the project list, there is a need to
adjust the approach to address the City’s needs for additional sport fields. There has
been significant discussion regarding where to locate this facility or these facilities should
multiple locations be identified. Council’s discussion during the Work Session focused
on the McAurthur Rd and Fields Rd locations. Council directed staff to perform more
analysis on the Fields Rd. location to address several questions that have arisen. Council
also requested further clarity regarding the process for working with the Dept. of Defense
on the McAurthur Rd. location.
There is certainly opportunities to get more detailed information regarding the Fields Rd.
site and to analyze the opportunities and constraints of both sites. Doing so, however, will
require both time and resources. The master plan that has been developed for the
McAurthur Rd. site, for example, cost over $50,000 and took over nine months to
complete beginning with the process of selecting a consultant. Staff will be compiling and
updating, as much as possible, existing information on the sites and developing
alternative paths forward for Council to consider.
Page 3 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020

Funding Sources:
The Council discussed the use of interest and net bond premium as resources to cover
project costs. The Council asked for more information regarding the use of net bond
premium either as a resource for project costs or to repay debt: the two allowable uses.
Pros: The statutory limitation on issuing General Obligation (GO) debt is based on the
face value (par value) of the bonds issued. So if the City issues $10 million in bonds then
only $10 million of your statutory authority is used even if $12 million in revenue is
received due to a bond premium. The positive is that an addition $2 million is received to
support project costs that doesn’t count against the statutory limit and can address cost
increases due to inflation, unforeseen factors, or scope changes.
Cons: The premium is generated by the market determining that the interest rate on the
face of the bond exceeds the current “market” rate. Using the premium to retire a portion
of the debt effectively reduces the interest cost from the face value down to the current
market rate. The City would pay back less than face value of the bond with the identified
interest rate. Using the premium for project costs requires the City to pay the full face
value and interest rate to the bond holders thereby reducing the benefit from the market
rate being lower than the interest rate stated on the face of the bond note.
Illustrative Example: If City sells $10 million in bonds with a 5% interest rate, then it
must pay back $10 million plus 5%. If the market pays the City $12 million for the
bonds, then the City’s obligation is still to pay back $10 million plus 5%. The City
can choose, however, to use the $2 million premium to pay off $2 million in bonds
and then only have to pay back $8 million at 5%. Spending the $2 million premium
would obligate the City to pay back the full $10 million at the promised 5% interest
rate.
The proposed spending plan basically defers this decision as the bond premium and
accrued interest are identified an unallocated in that plan.
Budget Impact:
CPO 2020-23 appropriates $6 million for the tennis center project. This is consistent with
the previously approved spending plan. The funding is simply being appropriated six
months earlier.
Options:
- Approve CPO 2020-23 and the proposed spending plan
- Provide alternate direction to staff
Recommended Action:

1.0 CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Robertson called the meeting to order at 11:58 p.m.
2.0 ITEM OF BUSINESS
2.1 Discussion and possible modification of the components contained
in the Parks and Recreation Bond Referendum.
Mayor Robertson introduced this item and asked for comments from
Council members.
Council Member Crisp stated he has received a tremendous amount
of negative feedback on the proposed aquarium, and recommended the
aquarium be taken off the Parks and Recreation Bond package.
Council Member Arp stated the feedback he has received regarding
the bond package is not positive, and further stated he is not in
favor of lease payments, and stated he is in favor of the Cape Fear
River Park.
Mayor Pro Tem Colvin stated he has received e-mails from
constituents that are not in favor of the aquarium, and further stated
he has been asking staff for an anatomization schedule, something
simple to get another alternative for funding the multiple aquatics
center without success. I support quality of life amenities.
Council Member Jensen stated she was in agreement with Council
Members Crisp, Arp, and Colvin.
Council Member McDougald stated the Council has confused the
public with their own confusion, and further stated the City did not
need to lease a parks and recreation facility; the Council needs to
get on the same page.
Council Member Mohn stated he does not want the bond package to
exceed the agreed upon $35 million package.
Council Member deViere stated he supports and believes in
investments in parks and recreation, and stated he thinks the motion
from the November 9, 2015, meeting was what started the confusion over
the $35 million and $64 million amounts, and further stated he thinks
the aquarium should be pulled from the package; we need to
collectively figure out which direction we are going.
Council Member McDougald stated we need to unconfuse the people.
MOTION: Council Member Crisp moved to remove the aquarium from the
$35 million Parks and Recreation Bond package and
disassociate the $28 million multi-purpose aquatic center
from the $35 million bond package, and (if the bond
referendum passes) set the tax rate to accommodate the $35
million package.
SECOND: Mayor Pro Tem Colvin
VOTE: PASSED by a vote of 8 in favor to 1 in opposition (Council
Member Arp)
Mayor Robertson stated we no longer have a senior center now.
Council Member Hurst stated it is the seniors in this City that
are the majority of our voters.
Council Member deViere provided a spreadsheet showing the
priority of each facility that Council agreed upon at the November 9,
2015, meeting.
Discussion ensued.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Colvin moved to define the bond package to
contain the following facilities: 2 Senior Centers at an
approximate cost of $10,000,000.00; 6 existing parks at an
approximate cost of $800,000.00; 7 splash pads at an
approximate cost of $3,000,000.00; 1 Cape Fear River Park
at an approximate cost of $5,200,000.00; 1 Skateboard Park
at an approximate cost of $1,000,000.00; 1 Field Complex at
an approximate cost of $9,000,000.00; and 1 Tennis Center
at an approximate cost of $6,000,000.00 for a grand total
of $35,000,000.00.
SECOND: Council Member Jensen
VOTE: PASSED by a vote of 8 in favor to 1 in opposition (Council
Member Crisp)

RE:
Amendment of the Use and Operating Agreement with Fayetteville Baseball Club
for Segra Stadium Regarding the Capital Repair, Maintenance and Improvements
Schedule (Exhibit E), and Adoption of Capital Project Ordinance 2020-24 to
Authorize Calendar Year 2020 Expenditures from the Capital Repair, Maintenance
and Improvements Account ..end
COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
District 2
..b
Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal II: Diverse and Viable Economy
Executive Summary:
The Use and Operating Agreement (“Agreement”) for Segra Stadium references a
Capital Repair, Maintenance and Improvements Schedule (Exhibit E) (“Schedule”) that is
to guide expenditures from the Capital Repair, Maintenance and Improvements Account
(“Account”) over the term of that Agreement. The Schedule, however, was not developed
at the time that the Agreement was executed and is currently blank in the official copy of
the Agreement. Council action is needed to authorize amending the Agreement to add a
completed and agreed upon Schedule to the Agreement.
Further, the Woodpeckers have requested and the Board of Advisors have
recommended specific expenditures from the Account which the Council must consider
and authorize should they deem appropriate to do so. Capital Project Ordinance (CPO)
Page 1 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1185
2020-24 will appropriate $180,000 of contributions under the agreement to fund the
installation of 10 ceiling fans in the stadium concourse area and the extension of field
netting to the foul poles.
Background:
The City executed the Agreement with Fayetteville Baseball Club (“Operator”), a
subsidiary of Houston Baseball Partners, in December of 2016 (Attached). The stadium
had not even been designed at that time. The Agreement sets up a mechanism to
identify and fund capital improvements to the stadium over the life of the Agreement. The
foundation is a Schedule of potential capital repair and maintenance items referenced in
the Agreement as Exhibit E. It was impossible to complete this schedule without the final
design of the stadium and it is, therefore, blank.
The Agreement also set up a funding mechanism to support Capital Repair, Maintenance
and Improvements (“Capital Improvements”). The Agreement provides that the Operator
will annually deposit $1 for each ticket after the first 50,000 sold and half of the naming
rights revenue into the Account. The Agreement goes on to state that should the average
of these revenues, starting in year five, fall below 1% of the actual construction cost of the
stadium then both parties will be required to contribute 50% of any shortfall to ensure a
minimum revenue to the Account averaging 1% of the actual construction cost.
Finally, the Agreement calls for the establishment of a Board of Advisors (“Board”) to
annually recommend to the City Council any expenditures from the Account for Capital
Improvements consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
The City Council appointed the nine members of the Board on May 28, 2019. The Board
met on December 12, 2019, to consider the proposed Schedule and two funding
requests from the Woodpeckers. The draft minutes of the meeting are attached. The
Board voted to recommend the Schedule attached and to authorize the installation of fans
in the concourse area and the extension or replacement of the safety netting.
Issues/Analysis:
Capital Maintenance, Repair and Improvements Schedule (Exhibit E)
The attached Schedule was developed by Mike Wooley of Venue Solutions Group
(“VSG”) which is a firm that focuses on public assembly facilities. The preparation of
maintenance plans for public assembly facilities is one of their specialties. The Schedule
that they prepared is comprehensive and conservative (the attachment can be viewed by
zooming in). The total cost of the plan (lower right) is shown to be almost $44 million. Mr.
Wooley shared that it is not unusual in his experience for the estimated cost of a 30 year
schedule of this kind to approximate the total construction cost of the subject facility. He
also stated that it is not reasonable to plan for all of the included costs to actually be
incurred. The schedule is a tool for prioritization and planning.
Mr. Freier, CEO of Hardball Capital, the City’s consultant throughout this project who
owns and operates three minor league baseball teams, describes the schedule as a
Page 2 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1185
baseline that assists in making potentially difficult budget decisions over time. He goes
on to indicate that the funding mechanism included in the Agreement, which is based on
similar agreements he has negotiated for his teams, was never intended to fund
everything that might ever be wanted by the operator. It was intended to support
reasonable capital maintenance and to mitigate the City’s risk of facing future capital
demands from the operator.
Chris Cominse, Woodpeckers Director of Stadium Operations, reviewed the schedule
and prioritized each potential expenditure (priorities 1-4 to the right of the table). The total
of Priority 1 items is just under $21 million. Mr. Cominse’s priority evaluation is based
first on the safety for fans, players, and workers. This is consistent with the prioritization
method recommended by Mr. Wooley of VSG.
Board Recommendation: After significant discussion, the Board unanimously
recommended that the Council approve the proposed Schedule for inclusion in the
Agreement and to guide their work in the future.
Requested Expenditures from the Account
The Woodpeckers initially requested that they be authorized to make four investments in
the stadium at a total estimated cost of $285,000. That request was reduced to two items
with a total estimated cost of up to $180,000 after working with the City to develop the
Schedule. The two projects being requested are the installation of ceiling fans in the
concourse area ($30,000) and the extension of field netting all the way to the foul poles
(up to $150,000).
Field Netting Extension: The existing field netting extends to the outside edge of the
dugouts. This is farther than was required by MiLB standards at the time the stadium was
designed. The issue of how far to extend netting has evolved significantly over the last
year. This was a key design discussion that attempted to balance two opposing
interests; one, what was at that time a preference for seats that would allow the
opportunity to catch a foul ball and an unobstructed view of the field, and, two, fan safety.
The balance selected at that time was to extend the netting farther then what was required
and farther then existed in most MiLB stadiums. Over the last year, however, due to some
well publicized and truly unfortunate injuries caused by foul balls at the major league level,
public sentiment has shifted the balance dramatically and almost every field in the majors
and minors is in the process of extending field netting to enhance fan safety.
The cost estimate provided by the Woodpeckers would completely replace the field
netting with a net that has improved visibility characteristics and would extend all the way
to the outfield foul poles. The estimate of $150,000 is significantly higher than costs
experienced at other MiLB fields to extend field netting. This premium is believed to be
due to the need to add anchoring points in the outfield and the unwillingness of the vendor
who installed the existing netting to bid on extending that netting. This requires new
vendors to replace the existing netting and support system in order to achieve a uniform
system.
City purchasing has reached out to the vendor who installed the current netting and is
Page 3 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1185
attempting to get them to bid on extending the system that they installed. If successful, it
is anticipated that this would result in significant savings.
It should be noted that replacing field netting is included in the Schedule in years 10, 20,
and 30. This replacement in year 2 is not expected to revise that schedule.
Board Recommendation: The Board voted to recommend spending up to $150,000 to
extend the field netting.
Concourse Ceiling Fans: The Woodpeckers report that excessive heat and stuffiness in
the concourse area is the dominate complaint received from fans during the team’s first
season. They also report that heat related injuries and illness were the number one cause
of emergency service calls. They are recommending the installation of 10 large industrial
ceiling fans in the concourse area at cost of $30,000 to increase air movement and
improve the safety and experience of those fans that don’t have access to air conditioned
areas.
Ceiling fans in the concourse area were initially included in the design of the stadium, but
they were “value engineered” out during attempts to reduce the overall cost of the
stadium. Staff hasn’t been able to recover the notes on that change, but it is my
recollection that this change was valued as a savings in excess of $40,000. This
indicates that the estimated cost to add these fans is certainly reasonable and could be a
rare example of an addition after construction that results in a savings.
The addition of ceiling fans is not included in the Schedule as it is an improvement or
addition instead of maintenance or repair of an existing system. If installed, the
maintenance or replacement of these fans would need to be added to the Schedule.
Board Recommendation: The Board recommends authorizing $30,000 from the Account
to add 10 ceiling fans to the concourse area of the stadium.
Budget Impact:
The Woodpeckers report that their contribution to the City for the first year of operation,
which will fund the Account, will be $387,612. There is no impact to the City’s General
Fund for the adoption of CPO 2020-24. If approved, up to $180,000 would be authorized
to be expended from the Account.
Options:
- Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Agreement and adopt CPO
2020-24
- Provide alternate direction to staff (delay in action could make it difficult to complete the
requested improvements prior to the start of the next baseball season)
Recommended Action:
Page 4 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1185
The Board of Advisors recommends that Council move to authorize the City Manager to
execute an amendment of the Use and Operating Agreement to add the Capital Repair,
Maintenance and Improvements Schedule provided as Exhibit E; and, to adopt Capital
Project Ordinance 2020-24 to authorize up to $180,000 be expended from the Account
for calendar year 2020 for concourse ceiling fans and the field netting.

Mr. Douglas Hewett, City Manager, called the meeting to order. MOTION: Mr. George Breece moved to add an item to the agenda: Nomination of
the Board Chair and Vice Board Chair; Item 4.01 SECOND: Council Member Corbin VOTE: Unanimous (7-0) 2.0 Approval of Minutes: September 30, 2019 and October 21, 2019 MOTION: Mr. George Breece moved to accept the minutes from the September

Mr. Kristoff Bauer, Deputy City Manager, presented this item and provided
everyone present with a handout of the PowerPoint presentation and stated at the last
meeting it was stated there needs to be a 30 year long range Capital Improvement Plan.
Mr. Bauer presented the 30 year plan and findings from the consultant. $387,612.00 has
been deposited into the Capital Reserve account. Mr. Zarthar stated it is very difficult to
project the revenue for ticket sales from year 2 to year 30; we have assumed the baseball
business will hold the interest of the community, given fluctuating market conditions.
DRAFT
Mr. Bauer stated the plan includes prioritizing issues, repairs and maintenance,
which can be changed. When we make choices we need to focus on priority one issues
and ensure we have the funds. The next step will be to take this item back to the City
Council and ask the Woodpeckers to take it back to their team and request approval. The
key responsibility of this Board is to implement this plan, watch it, and make
recommendations and manage the resources. The plan can be adjusted each year, there
is still a lot of fluctuation.
Discussion ensued.
MOTION: Mr. George Breece moved to accept the Capital Repair, Maintenance
and Improvement Schedule
SECOND: Mr. Terrance Strater
VOTE: Unanimous (7-0)
4.0 Updated recommendations with a proposed schedule and estimated budget
for such proposed improvements for the upcoming calendar year.
Mr. Mark Zartha, Woodpeckers President, presented this item with the aid of a
PowerPoint presentation and stated the recommendations are focused on safety as the
number one priority is fan safety. The immediate issues to address are the need for
industrial fans and additional netting and replacement of current netting. A third of the
EMS calls at the stadium were because of heat related incidents, installation of the
industrial fans would greatly alleviate this problem.
Mr. Hewett stated the major league teams have all said they will install the
additional netting, so it is compelling that we install for fans safety. Mr. Hewett stated two
motions are required for this item: 1. Consider the recommendation to fund the two items;
industrial fans and additional netting; safety issues to be resolved. 2. Take the limited
funding; barring some additional funding this would be a recommendation for the City
Council.
MOTION: Mr. George Breece moved to approve of the Woodpeckers
recommendation to install ten (10) industrial fans and the
replacement/additional netting
SECOND: Mr. Douglas Hewett
VOTE: Unanimous (7-0)

g-zoning/studies-and-plans> . Three additional administrative reports will be provided with
more information regarding the: 1) Future Land Use Map and Character Area
Descriptions, 2) Future Land Use Goals and Recommendations, and 3) Land Use
Policies and Strategies. After Council has had time to thoroughly review the information a
Public Hearing for the adoption of the Map and Plan will be set.
Background:
The City’s FY 2020 Strategic Plan “A Focus on the Future” and it’s Goals, Objectives and
Targets for Action support a need and interest in planning for the City ’s future growth
through a Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Goal III objectives and targets for action resulted in the Development Services staff taking
on the task of creating a Comprehensive Land Use Plan with the first phase being the
creation of the Future Land Use Map. The overall plan will include a Future Land Use
Map, character area descriptions, goals and objectives and associated polices and
implementation strategies.
Also, in recent years the NC General Statutes were amended, placing more emphasizes
on comprehensive planning by requiring that rezoning’s and development approvals be
based on and be consistent with an adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission recommended Approval of adoption of the plan on October
15, 2019 after holding two previous meetings to discuss and review the contents of the
plan.
Issues/Analysis:
Comprehensive Plans and Future Land Use Maps are the primary tools used to provide
land use guidance to staff, government officials, and the public for decisions regarding
long-term land use (rezonings, special use permits, development and redevelopment,
etc.). These plans interpret the information received from public input and the use of best
planning practices to establish the desired future land use of areas and the type and scale
of development that should occur within those areas.
The five Sections of the Plan are summarized below:
Section 1: Visual Preference
The public was asked to provide input on their visual preferences for residential and
commercial development. They were asked which type of development they preferred
and what type of uses they wanted to preserve, change and create.
Section 2: Character Areas (Additional Administrative Report to be provided)
The Plan establishes 15 new Character Areas that instead of separating different uses
tend to mix uses in appropriate areas. (The 2010 Land Use Plan had 19 districts.)
Page 2 City of Fayetteville Printed on 1/9/2020
File Number: 19-1192
Section 3: Goals and Policy Recommendations (Additional Administrative Reports to be
provided)
The Plan establishes six Future Land Use Goals with Polices to meet the Goals as
summarized below:
Goal 1: Focus value & investment around infrastructure and strategic nodes
LU 1: Encourage growth in areas well served by infrastructure and urban
services.
Goal 2: Promote compatible economic and commercial development in key identified
areas.

LU 4: Create well designed and walkable commercial and mixed use
districts.
LU 5: Improve gateways.
Goal 4: Foster safe, stable and attractive neighborhoods.
LU 6: Encourage development standards that result in quality
neighborhoods.
LU 7: Encourage a mix of housing types for all ages and incomes.
Goal 5: Preserve and enhance environmental features through open space protection.
LU 8: Require the reservation of open space and unique natural features in
new developments.
LU 9: Plan for connected system of open space and greenways.
LU 10: Support land use, site design, and capital improvement initiatives
that increase resiliency and reduce impacts from flooding and
natural disasters.
Goal 6: Compliment and capitalize on the strategic importance of military installations
and educational and medical institutions.
LU 11: Encourage a development pattern and community growth that respects the
training and operational mission of the military, while also allowing for
reasonable, appropriate uses on properties near Fort Bragg.
LU 12: Coordinate with Fort Bragg.
LU 13: Coordinate with local governments, non-profits and education and medical
institutions on economic development initiatives and complimentary
development in the vicinity of campuses.
Section 4: Implementation Recommendations
The Plan establishes five Strategies to accomplish the Goals with Polices as summarized
below:
Strategy 1: Use the plan and map to guide policy decisions to promote sound
development patterns.

Purpose and Document Organization Future land use maps, along with comprehensive plans, are the primary tools used by local governments to provide land use guidance to staff, appointed, and elected officials, and for decisions regarding long-term land use (rezonings, special use permits, etc.). The preparation of Fayetteville’s future land use map update provided an opportunity for the community, staff, stakeholders and others to participate in a city-wide conversation about development pressures facing land within Fayetteville’s municipal limits and within its municipal influence area (MIA). In addition to a map with designated future land uses, character area descriptions and policy recommendations are provided to assist with implementation. This plan communicates to the public and the development community the desired future land use of areas and the type and form of development that should occur. The planning process for this update lasted approximately six months. During that time there were a series of public involvement meetings that included:
• Four Public Meetings that included representation from each city Council District • Six Stakeholder meetings that included business and community leaders • Presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council
Additional public input was received through a city-led survey effort. The survey was an opportunity for residents unable to attend public meetings to provide input on concerns and development preferences, all of which helped in the crafting of the land use map and supporting character area descriptions.
Section 1, Planning Process, describes information gleaned from public input meetings and survey results. Section 2, Future Land Use Map and Character Areas, outlines the guiding land use map for the city as well as Character Area descriptions. Section 3, Goals and Policies, provides specific guidance and recommendations on land use-related issues such as community reinvestment and smart growth. Section 4, Implementation, offers up six big ideas related to the map update and potential to spur positive change in the City. Section 5, Community Profile, provides background information on land use, demographics and economics data.
Fayetteville’s future land use map update provided an opportunity for the community, staff, stakeholders and others to participate in a city-wide conversation.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 3
Section 1: Planning Process This map update was meant to bring together a cohesive vision for the future growth and development of Fayetteville. Fayetteville’s population has risen steadily over the years, and because of its proximity to one of the Nation’s largest military bases, its economy has been largely sheltered from recessions in years past. Over the years, a number of small area plans have been developed to guide growth and development. Recently a city-wide strategic plan included a recommendation to develop strategic land use policy to support quality development. This effort builds on that recommendation.

Public Meetings Summary As part of the public engagement process for the Fayetteville Future Land Use Map, a series of public meetings were conducted throughout City Council Districts during March and April 2019. A meeting was also held in September to provide a chance for members of the public to comment on the draft plan. The results of these meetings, shown below, provide valuable insight about priorities and goals for future development in Fayetteville and the results will inform the creation of Fayetteville’s Future Land Use Map. Additional outreach is expected to occur as part of a broader effort to create a city-wide Comprehensive Plan beginning in 2020.
OVERVIEW DISTRICT MEETING LOCATIONS To learn about specific land use issues and preferences among the various neighborhoods in Fayetteville, the nine City Council Districts were consolidated into groups and a public meeting was held to hear from area residents. Several city council members attended the meetings for their districts. All meetings began at 6:00 p.m. and took place at city-owned recreation centers.
MEETING FORMAT The meetings were held in a casual open-house format to allow participants the opportunity to provide feedback at their own pace. Each district meeting began with a brief presentation highlighting the need for a future land use map and explaining the planning process. Following the presentation, participants visited stations where they expressed their opinions about land use and development via hands-on activities. Activities at each station were facilitated by consultants from Stewart and Crawford Design and City of Fayetteville Staff.
DRAFT PLAN MEETING A meeting was held at City Hall in September of 2019 to unveil the draft Future Land Use map and recommendations. Public comments were collected and used to revise draft recommendations prior to approval of the Planning Commission and City Council.

VISUAL PREFERENCE To gain an understanding of the development styles that people prefer, meeting attendees were asked to give feedback on images depicting specific building types for residential, neighborhood, commercial, and office & industrial development.
RESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE Residential design style preferences show split support for low-density single-family development and medium density single family development. In terms of neighborhood character and design, there was strong preference for mixed use areas and for conservation subdivisions (subdivisions with smaller lots but more open space and parks).
Participants preferred developments with larger amounts of open space (aka “conservation subdivisions”) over conventional subdivision design by 2 to 1.
Low Density Residential
Medium Density Residential
Walkable Mixed Use
Conservation Subdivisions
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 6
COMMERCIAL PREFERENCE Strong preference was shown for commercial/residential mixed-use development and Lifestyle Centers—commercial centers with architectural detail, outdoor seating and landscaping. For office and industry, there was a very strong preference for infill and re-use and support for office and technology centers.
Mixed Use
- Mix of commercial, retail, and service-oriented businesses with a variety of residential options including apartments and townhomes
o Buildings sited generally close to the street for downtown feel o Walkable with outdoor seating o Pedestrian-focused
Lifestyle Centers
- Commercial center that is an auto-oriented destination with pleasant outdoor spaces
o Distinct architectural detail o Landscaping o Outdoor plaza spaces
Infill & Reuse
- Reuse of buildings(s) for a new purpose or developing vacant/underutilized parcels that are already surrounded by substantial development
o Can incorporate historic preservation o Reduces sprawl
Mixed-Use Development Precedent: Baxter Village, Fort Mill, SC
Lifestyle Center Precedent: Colony Place, Charlotte, NC
Infill & Reuse Precedent: Rocky Mills, Rocky Mount, NC
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 7
IN CERTAIN PLACES Meeting attendees showed mixed support for apartments, duplexes and townhomes with most people indicating such development is appropriate only in certain places. In general, respondents indicated support for office and industrial development (other than infill and reuse) in certain places only. This is especially true for manufacturing and industrial development.
DON’T LIKE In terms of residential preferences, people indicated a lack of interest in Traditional Neighborhood Design, however this could be due to the fact that there are not many local examples. Overall, people were supportive of commercial development, but the least preferred type was Neighborhood Commercial.
These images capture the results of the visual preference exercise from the first community meeting. Votes were tallied from all four meetings and summarized to determine community preference for different types of land uses and development designs.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 8
KEEP, TOSS, CREATE During the public meetings attendees participated in a map-based exercise to convey what parts or aspects of their neighborhoods and districts they wanted to keep (support or preserve), toss (change) and what they wanted to see created. A summary of findings from these activities is included below.
Keep (Support or Preserve)
- Destinations and Assets o Mall, Parks, Swimming pools, Airport
- Nature and Open Space o Trees in residential areas for stormwater / Replace trees cut down for
development o Natural trails along the river, greenway on Big Cross Creek o Green space in residential areas o Keep Carvers Creek Trail, but ensure privacy o Protect farmland o Botanical gardens
- Investing in Downtown o Scenic downtown o Market House
Toss (Change)
- Concurrency and Infrastructure o Roadway improvements should keep pace with housing developments o Stormwater issues, failing infrastructure o Lack of sidewalks, unsafe intersections
- Land Uses, Design and Safety Concerns o Strip development, gas stations o Overhead power lines (i.e. Ramsey St.) o Junk yards (esp. along the river) o Ministorage businesses, blood banks o Dangerous places, crime/illicit activity
Meeting attendees viewed maps of their district and offered ideas on what to preserve, change or create to improve quality of life .
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 9
Create
- More recreation options o More parks, recreation centers o Safer playgrounds, public pool, skate park; dog park o Park on shaw mill road on city owned property o Basketball courts, walking trails
- Walkable destinations and transportation networks that support them o More walkable areas and shopping districts o Bike trails, pedestrian bridges; more sidewalks
i.e. Bike trail from Lake Rim Park to Ridge Road o Transit connections to key locations, bus shelters o Activate downtown; more opportunities downtown o Greater connectivity from neighborhoods
- Redevelopment o Tax incentives for older neighborhoods o New tenants in shopping centers o New apartments on vacant land near Blounts Creek; high quality
apartments (instead of existing duplex) o Reinvestment to major assets (parks, schools, hospitals, etc)
- Activities, Shopping, Restaurants o Movie theater, aquarium, sports stadium, soccer stadium o Upscale/sit down restaurant, restaurant x 3; restaurants in neighborhoods o Riverfront development - walkable corridor from stadium to river/ river
walk for cross creek o Neighborhood commercial at interchange
- Diversify housing stock o Walkable, mixed-use development / village
- Infrastructure, aesthetic improvements and beautification o Bridges over creeks, dam repairs from flooding o Street lights at gateways; beautify gateways o Beautification on creeks (Cross Creek and Blounts creek)
- Support for jobs o Technology co-location centers on I-95, Locally owned businesses
Greenways, trails and sidewalks were mentioned as a priority for many residents during the public meetings.

Survey An online, public survey was conducted over a period of a month to gauge public priorities and perspectives related to development types and land uses. These results helped inform the development of strategies to further the public vision for their community. Highlights include:
* Strategic Goal Priorities ** Ten-year priorities
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 11
Section 2: Future Land Use Map and Character Area Descriptions The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as well as the goals, policies, and strategies that supplement it, are presented in a way that acknowledges Fayetteville’s existing land use character and past planning efforts while offering up policy guidance and solutions for sustainable growth in the future.
Along with existing land use, land supply, and suitability analysis, plans from the city’s past planning efforts were taken into consideration when drafting this map. To compare against the last city-wide land use planning effort, the Cumberland County 2010 Land Use Plan contained 19 distinct future land use districts, including 5 districts for land on Fort Bragg. This plan identifies 15 future land use districts (referred to as character areas) and refrains from assigning any future land use categories on the base.
Many of the proposed character areas are new, as the prior land use plan had more a more traditional, Euclidean approach to land use types that did not include mixed use designations. The new character areas avoid a traditional approach of separating different uses in most districts and instead reflect a trend of mixing uses in appropriate areas and scales.
Rural and less intensive uses will be found east of the Cape Fear River, where a lack of utility availability and poor soils will continue to hinder development. Neighborhood mixed use centers are in areas one might expect such as Haymount, but also designated in areas that may see future development like north Ramsey Street. “Commercial Strip Redevelopment” areas are composed of areas like Eutaw Shopping Center and Bragg Boulevard as it approaches downtown Fayetteville. The commercial and retail area centered around Cross Creek Mall and Skibo Road corridor is designated as a “Regional Center”.
Fayetteville’s FLUM is a tool to meet the needs of current and future residents. The new FLUM will supersede all prior land use plan recommendations to serve as both visual and policy guidance for land use planning moving forward in the City.
A Future Land Use Map (described in more detail later) is one way of guiding development decisions in the City.

ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 24
LAND USE POLICIES AND STRATEGIES
STRATEGIC, COMPATIBLE GROWTH
LU-1: ENCOURAGE GROWTH IN AREAS WELL-SERVED BY INFRASTRUCTURE AND URBAN SERVICES, INCLUDING ROADS, UTILITIES, PARKS, SCHOOLS, POLICE, FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES. • 1.1: Work with the Public Works Commission (PWC) and other utility provider to
ensure that public facilities and services are planned in a coordinated manner o Utilize the Future Land Use map as a guide for infrastructure expansion
• 1.2: Encourage more intense uses, greater mix of uses and denser residential types in key focal areas
o Regional Centers & Community Centers o Neighborhood Mixed Use o Downtown
• 1.3: Consider the costs and benefits of future extensions of utility service • 1.4: Require annexation and adherence to development standards for any
development proposal within the city’s Municipal Influence Area (MIA) if city services are to be provided
• 1.5: Limit utility service extensions in areas that are designated as Rural on the Future Land Use Map
• 1.6: Require adequate infrastructure to be in place prior to or in tandem with new development
o This includes road infrastructure such as roads, turn lanes and sidewalks as well as public services such as parks, schools, water/sewer, police, fire and emergency services
• 1.7: Encourage a logical progression of housing development and discourage “leapfrog” development
o Leapfrog development is development that occurs in areas away from existing development and in areas currently not served by infrastructure or adjacent to services, esp. water/sewer. This type of growth can lead to higher costs of providing urban services.
Farm and forest land east of the Cape Fear River is currently not served by City sewer. Extension of sewer to much of this area is not advisable due to cost to provide service and environmental constraints.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 25
LU-2: ENCOURAGE STRATEGIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • 2.1: Encourage economic development in designated areas
o Encourage economic development in key areas including Downtown, Office / Institutional Areas, Industrial / Employment Areas, Regional and Community Centers, and Highway Commercial Areas
• 2.2: Identify opportunity sites for manufacturing and technology industry based on transportation access, nearby land uses, environmental constraints and other considerations
o Discourage large-scale residential rezonings and development that impacts prime industrial sites
o Coordinate with City departments to determine necessary utility, transportation and stormwater upgrades to accommodate target industries
• 2.3: Coordinate with the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation (FCCEDC)
o Conduct economic development activities that contribute to local jobs, a high quality of life, business retention and recruitment
o Promote a stable economic base by recruiting a diverse industry base o Continue to maintain an up-to-date inventory of buildings and sites o Work toward the creation of certified industrial sites o Conduct small area planning studies for Economic Development catalyst
sites to determine access improvements and potential building configurations to utilize in marketing materials
o Consider strategic infrastructure investments for catalyst sites • 2.4: Coordinate with the Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, the
Cool Spring Downtown District and other entities to encourage visitation and tourism in the City
o Work to encourage events and conventions in Downtown Fayetteville and other activity centers
o Invest in public improvements to streetscapes including sidewalks, street trees, landscaping, lighting, and furnishings to create pedestrian-oriented environments Downtown and in other activity centers
o Study the feasibility of new greenways and extensions to existing greenways
The pedestrian friendly environment of Hay Street could be extended to other parts of Downtown and replicated in different form in other activity centers to encourage redevelopment, and shopping and dining destinations
Marketing existing industrial and business parks with can help increase local jobs and improve property values
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 26
Recent studies have shown that access to greenways can help spur economic development and visitation
• 2.5: Partner to determine specific uses that could be supported through adaptive reuse and redevelopment opportunities
LU-3: ENCOURAGE REDEVELOPMENT ALONG UNDERUTILIZED COMMERCIAL STRIP CORRIDORS AND REINVESTMENT IN DISTRESSED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS • 3.1: Examine and identify targeted redevelopment and infill areas throughout
the city • 3.2: Identify potential barriers for redevelopment and reinvestment and provide
flexibility through modification to development regulations while maintaining high standards
o Consider incentives for redevelopment of underutilized commercial properties including: Allowance of higher density residential types Reduced setbacks and parking
o Consider incentives for reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods including: Develop land use regulations that allow for diverse housing
offerings that allow people to transition to multiple types of housing in different stages of life without having to leave their neighborhood
Create targeted, city-funded grant opportunities for developers and individual property owners alike to invest in their homes and neighborhoods.
Using previous plans such as the Bonnie Doone Redevelopment Plan or Shaw Heights Plan as a guide, readdress and develop concept area plans for neighborhoods that need it the most and advertise the results created to help spur private sector interest
• 3.3: Coordinate efforts among departments to create synergistic opportunities for reinvestment in distressed areas.
o Study opportunities for public improvements that spur private investment. Opportunities may include transportation improvements,
Example redevelopment strategies: Incentives: • Develop façade or upfit grants to offset
private costs of reuse of buildings • Revise parking requirements to allow
greater flexibility where public transit is available
Regulatory: • Allow higher-intensity, higher-return
land uses in key areas • Adjust setbacks to allow structure
expansions that make walkable environments
• Create neighborhood plans to organize private efforts and communicate local vision
Investment: • Coordinate public streetscape and
beautification efforts with private redevelopment projects
• Explore establishing a dedicated funding source to implement targeted improvements or a community redevelopment agency
• Develop a revolving loan fund or investment strategy to incubate local entrepreneurs
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 27
regional stormwater facilities, greenways and parks, and/or school construction or upgrades.
o Consider acquisition of strategic properties and potential catalyst sites to sell to developers via RFP process to accomplish community goals
LU-4: CREATE WELL-DESIGNED AND WALKABLE COMMERCIAL AND MIXED- USE DISTRICTS
• 4.1: Ensure new development meets basic site design standards o Standards should include:
Connected streets, entrances, and parking lots Sidewalks and pedestrian pathways on both sides of all public
rights-of-way (at the minimum) High quality building materials Landscaping, shade, and street trees Perimeter buffers Lower-level parking lot screening Stormwater retention and infiltration
• 4.2: Encourage context-sensitive site design o Design commercial and mixed-use areas to be walkable areas with
pedestrian connections between uses and buildings Encourage buildings to be located close to the street, especially
near key intersections, with parking located to the side or behind the buildings
Require short block lengths (max. 400 to 600 feet) and connections to adjacent development (crosswalks, etc.)
o Ensure development standards specify: Transition in building scale between new buildings and
surrounding neighborhoods Building and parking orientation and design Landscaped buffers, tree save areas and site design that provides
transitions between more and less intense uses • 4.3: Preserve Historic Resources and Encourage Reuse
o Pursue grants to inventory historic resources
Thirty-six percent of commercial properties in the City are underutilized, indicating an oversupply of commercial property. One-third of total commercial properties are under two acres in size.
New development standards are improving some commercial corridors. Recent development along Ramsey Street sports heightened perimeter landscaping and screening of parking areas.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 28
o Encourage reuse of historic structures through development regulations o Modify land use regulations to encourage the scale and architectural
detail of new infill development to be compatible with older neighborhoods.
LU-5: IMPROVE GATEWAYS • 5.1: Continue to require perimeter landscaping and planting islands in significant
renovations and redevelopment along commercial corridors. o There is currently a number of gateways into the City that have
underutilized commercial areas. Recent changes to development standards are improving some areas incrementally, however approving exceptions during rezonings and/or for small properties can stall this incremental improvement and potentially have a negative effect on adjacent properties and future development.
• 5.2: Consider strategic investment in transportation and public realm improvements along gateway corridors
o Identify key gateways into Fayetteville (such as Murchison Street, Bragg Boulevard and Ramsey Street) and study potential transportation improvements, public realm improvements and redevelopment opportunities
Roadway improvements such as access management projects, medians, collector street connections and roundabouts can be catalysts for new development or redevelopment along gateway corridors.
Landscaping, beautification, public art and the addition of pedestrian facilities can help the City leverage public rights-of- way for neighborhood improvement.
Where appropriate, focus planning efforts and regulations to facilitate transit stops along future development and infill with consideration placed upon potential rail service from Fayetteville State University to Downtown Fayetteville.
Require any high-density, vertical mixed-use development in these areas to cluster and make the most of transportation improvements constructed.
Town of Hickory, NC: Inspiring Places Following their most recent community visioning and plan adoption, the citizens of Hickory passed a $40 million bond by referendum. This bond is currently being used to design and construct catalyst projects identified in the vision plan. The major thrusts of the plan include:
• A corporate business park for contemporary manufacturing companies
• New public recreational facilities in downtown and along the river
• Enhanced gateways and streetscape beautification • Investing in the connection between downtown and
the university
These major public projects are anticipated to generate private sector investment that will multiply the total economic and societal benefit.
More information can be found here: https://www.hickorync.gov/content/bond-information
(Photo from the Town of Hickory website.)
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 29
o Re-align key major and minor intersections (and establish minor connections from existing neighborhoods) to create logical connections and nodes for investment, intensification, and public realm enhancements
Develop, with assistance from city transportation officials, a list of intersections that can benefit from realignment. Coordinate with FAMPO and NCDOT to add projects to the STIP for funding.
Use this plan as a mechanism to retrofit areas with other amenities found elsewhere within the city such as street trees, sidewalks, and bike lanes.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 30
SAFE, STABLE AND ATTRACTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS LU-6: ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT RESULT IN QUALITY NEIGHBORHOODS • 6.1: Encourage quality neighborhood design through maintaining and improving
standards for streets, sidewalks, stormwater and open space. o Require a connected system of streets in new development and stub-
outs to areas of future development o Require sidewalks in new developments along both sides of public
roadways (including the frontage of properties and internal roads) o Encourage commonly-accessible open spaces in new residential
subdivisions o Require street trees in high density residential developments and
commercial areas o Require canopy trees in new single-family neighborhoods
• 6.2: Encourage Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in development design and the design of public facilities
o Building and site design that includes clear delineation between public and private spaces, street lighting, and windows and/or balconies facing the street can help increase informal surveillance of space and reduce crime
LU-7: ENCOURAGE A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES FOR ALL AGES AND INCOMES • 7.1: Allow a mix of housing, including attached and multi-family homes, to create
diverse neighborhoods, especially within and near Downtown and designated Regional, Community and Neighborhood Centers
o Establish incentives for encouraging select underutilized commercial areas and strip malls to be converted to higher density residential uses
• 7.2: Allow a mix of smaller scale detached and attached housing in Medium Density Residential and Neighborhood Improvement areas (as identified on the Future Land Use Map)
Requiring high quality design and construction of public facilities in new subdivisions can encourage development that raises property values, and create a visually appealing public realm.
A variety of housing type options allows people in different stages of their lives to be able to invest in the social fabric of their neighborhood and community. Providing spaces within neighborhoods for these “missing middle” housing types can allow people to find their own special niche within the City.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 31
o Housing types in these areas could include smaller-lot patio homes, duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes and townhomes Greater flexibility in allowable housing types, setbacks or parking
requirements could be considered for Neighborhood Improvement areas to encourage reinvestment
o Design standards could be implemented to encourage compatibility with existing development in these areas. Standards could include: Architectural standards Open space requirements Parking design criteria (i.e. location, planting requirements)
• 7.3: Work with non-profits to increase affordable and workforce housing o Pursue federal Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grants for planning
and creating mixed-income housing • 7.4: Conduct neighborhood stabilization activities
o Coordinate with Cumberland County on programs that help homeowners repair existing homes and/or remain in neighborhoods experiencing change can help stabilize neighborhoods that are experiencing change and retain NOAH (Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing)
o Develop partnerships and programs that encourage renovation of rental housing stock
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development: Choice Neighborhoods This federal program leverages public and private dollars to support locally-driven strategies that address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public or HUD-assisted housing. Local leaders, residents, and stakeholders create and implement a plan that revitalizes distressed HUD housing and addresses the challenges in the surrounding neighborhood. The program helps communities transform neighborhoods by revitalizing severely distressed public and/or assisted housing and catalyzing critical improvements in the neighborhood, including vacant property, housing, businesses, services and schools.
Choice Neighborhoods is focused on three core goals:
1. Housing: Replace distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income housing;
2. People: Improve outcomes related to employment and income, health, and children’s education; and
3. Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods.

PRESERVE AND ENHANCE ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES LU-8: REQUIRE THE RESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE AND UNIQUE NATURAL FEATURES IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS • 8.1: Evaluate open space requirements for residential development and consider
increasing requirements to be competitive with or exceed peer communities o Currently 5-10% of most sites is required to be reserved as open space and
50% of the open space is required to be usable for active or passive recreation facilities. Size, location and access criteria should be evaluated to ensure
adequate, quality open space is being provided in new subdivisions Regulations should accomplish the following:
• Require open space to be connected to the maximum extent practical
• Specify allowable types of open space (i.e. parks, valuable natural features, amenities such as greenways, walking paths, picnic areas, etc.)
• Specify lands not counted toward the open space requirement (i.e. remnants, rights-of-way, etc.)
• 8.2: Preserve unique natural features through site design o Regularly review and update Unified Development Ordinance to specify
priority open space types (i.e. natural features that should be preserved first with new development)
o Continue to incentivize tree preservation, especially mature native tress and Champion Trees Currently preservation and protection of specimen trees or groves
of three or more trees over a certain caliper results in a 300% credit toward open space requirements
o Consider expanding incentives to: Include larger vegetated riparian buffers (up to 150ft) to maintain
water quality Include future greenway locations
Open space can take many forms and can be public, private, or semi-public. Finding the right, context-sensitive mix can add value to a neighborhood and improve health outcomes of residents.

• 8.3: Incentivize cluster / conservation subdivisions, especially in areas with high value natural assets and Open Space Subdivisions areas (on the Future Land Use Map)
o Evaluate doubling or tripling the current density bonus for additional open space and consider modifications to encourage subdivisions with more open space in developing areas on the edges of the City Currently, a density bonus is available that is equal to a 1 percent
increase in allowable density for every 1 percent of land devoted to open space over base requirement. Maximum density bonus is set to a 20 percent increase in the allowable density.
LU-9: PLAN FOR A CONNECTED SYSTEM OF OPEN SPACE AND GREENWAYS • 9.1: Improve access to parks and greenways
o Coordinate with Fayetteville Cumberland Parks & Recreation to improve access to existing facilities and address level of service deficiencies within the City and Municipal Influence Area
o Prepare an open space and greenway master plan for the City and/or coordinate with Cumberland County to create a plan for the entire county Analyze existing level of service and equitable access to parks as a
first step in this process • 9.2: Prioritize connecting neighborhoods and destinations with greenways
o Expedite the development of the Cape Fear River Trail and key connections o Create a master plan and improve wayfinding for the Cross Creek Linear
Park o Study future greenway connections along major creeks including Little
Cross Creek, Beaver Creek, Bones Creek and other tributaries identified as potential greenways in previously completed Small Area Plans
Greenways (multi-use trails) are a local amenity as well as a regional recreational attractor.

LU-10: SUPPORT LAND USE, SITE DESIGN AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES THAT INCREASE RESILIENCY AND REDUCE IMPACTS FROM FLOODING AND NATURAL DISASTERS • 10.1: Encourage on-site stormwater control measures that reduce impacts of new
development o Stormwater requirements should seek to mimic pre-development
conditions, limit impacts from new development on adjacent properties and reduce the rate of stormwater runoff to avoid erosion of stream banks and encourage groundwater recharge
• 10.2: Incentivize Low Impact Development (LID) techniques in new development • 10.3: Plan for stormwater management at the stream basin level, especially in
areas that have been developed with limited on-site detention • 10.4: Carefully control development within the floodplain
o Encourage open space, passive parks and restoration of native vegetation within the 100-year floodplain
o Require all structures to be built with additional “freeboard” or distance above habitable floors and a base flood elevations (BFE)
o Discourage uses that include hazardous material storage in the floodplain
The best (and safest) use of high- to moderate-frequency floodplains is to be reserved for the storage of floodwater during storm events. Passive recreational uses can also increase the utility of these areas.

MILITARY INSTALLATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS LU-11: ENCOURAGE A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND COMMUNITY GROWTH THAT RESPECTS THE TRAINING AND OPERATIONAL MISSION OF THE MILITARY, WHILE ALSO ALLOWING FOR REASONABLE, APPROPRIATE USES OF PROPERTIES NEAR FORT BRAGG • 11.1: Discourage higher intensity development in Critical and Important areas
identified in the 2018 Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) • 11.2: Require notice of military installation commanders when new major
subdivisions are proposed within 5 miles of Fort Bragg • 11.3: Limit height of buildings proximal to major military installations (per JLUS
recommendation) • 11.4: Discourage residential uses and gathering places within the Noise-Accident
Potential (NPO) Districts identified in the JLUS plan o Continue to discourage residential uses and public gathering places o Consider requiring adherence to development standards include:
Maximum density of residential uses of 1 dwelling unit per five acres
Clubhouses and gathering places should not be allowed Noise attenuation in impacted structures
LU-12: COORDINATE WITH FORT BRAGG • 12.1: Regularly communicate with Fort Bragg and ensure that local government
representatives are participants in the Regional Land Use Advisory Commission (RULAC)
• 12.2: Fort Bragg shall be included in all major infrastructure planning locally. This will be especially important as Fort Bragg and surrounding local communities seek mutually beneficial opportunities to enhance services
• 12.3: Consider the co-location and joint development of park facilities in cooperation with institutions such as colleges, public schools, the military, other federal, state and local government agencies, as well as private and non-profit interests
The operations at Fort Bragg are impacted by the uses of surrounding lands, as detailed in the recently revised Joint Land Use Study (JLUS).

• 12.4: Coordinate with Cumberland County, the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce and the military to encourage compatible economic development near the base
• 12.5: Coordinate with the military, affordable housing interests and housing developers to increase supply of high-quality housing that is conveniently located and attractive to a variety of individuals and family types
LU-13: COORDINATE WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, NON-PROFITS AND EDUCATION AND MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES AND COMPLIMENTARY DEVELOPMENT IN THE VICINITY CAMPUSES • 13.1: Encourage growth and development that is complimentary to higher
education institutions • 13.3: Coordinate with institutions to determine long-term off campus needs and
priorities surrounding their campuses o This coordination could include identifying areas for student housing,
placemaking initiatives, transportation improvements and/or small area planning priorities
Methodist University, Fayetteville State University and Fayetteville Technical Community College are anchor institutions that great assets to the City. Coordinating with representatives of these institutions will be key during small area planning initiatives in the future.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 37
Section 4: Implementation Recommendations The following strategies represent near-term recommendations for implementing key components of the Future Land Use Plan.
STRATEGY #1: USE THIS DOCUMENT AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO GUIDE LAND USE POLICY DECISIONS AT STAFF, BOARD, AND ELECTED OFFICIAL LEVELS TO PROMOTE SOUND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
• CONTEXT: The last City-wide land use plan was included in the Cumberland County 2010 Land Use Plan, completed in 1996, which resulted from a joint effort between Cumberland County and the City of Fayetteville. Since this time a number of small area plans have been completed in the City that have included land use recommendations. Oftentimes, there could be multiple plans that address the future land use of a parcel in the city. This fact, and not having a clear understanding of what plan recommendations take precedence, could create issues between staff and the development community when those parcels are being considered for development. This document and the associated Future Land Use Map was created based on updating a city-wide vision for growth and development that is based on previous small area plans and a planning and public engagement process that included stakeholder interviews, public meetings, a survey and staff worksessions. It is meant to supersede previous land use planning efforts and be updated regularly.
• IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS: o Formally adopt the Future Land Use Map and
Recommendations o Review all land use petitions (rezonings, conditional and/or
special uses, site plans and etc.) for consistency with the future
Implementation Recommendations #1: Use this document and the Future Land Use Map to guide land use policy decisions
#2: Update the City’s comprehensive plan
#3: Remove barriers for reinvestment and redevelopment in target areas
#4: Coordinate efforts among departments to create synergistic opportunities for reinvestment in distressed areas
#5: Increase public engagement efforts in support of the goals and action steps in this document
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 38
land use map as well as the goals, policies, and strategies of this plan.
o Implement targeted development regulations that support the future land use goals and character area descriptions. o Refine the city’s development codes in a clear and
consistently applied manner and use them as a tool for implementation of the land use goals and strategies found in this document.
o Regularly update the Future Land Use map based on rezoning decisions, future small area planning initiatives and major updates every 5 years
STRATEGY #2: BUILD ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
• CONTEXT: Outside of recent planning efforts for small areas within the city, there has not been a full-fledged comprehensive plan since the 2008 Growth Vision Plan. As comprehensive plans typically have a shelf-life of 5-10 years, an update is necessary to properly represent the wants and wishes of stakeholders and citizens alike. While this mapping update took much of the city’s available land use, environmental, and socio-economic data to create a thoughtful approach to its future development, a comprehensive plan update will also address items and topics not touched on this update, such as economic development, parks and open space, transportation, and others.
• IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS: Planning managers should work closely with elected officials and city management to explain the necessity of a comprehensive planning update and coordinate its completion with planning staff or dedicate funding for completion by a private planning firm. Specific recommendations include: • Encourage City Council to appropriate funds for a citywide
comprehensive plan to update the 2010 Plan with public participation as a key element.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 39
• Supplement that planning effort with other corridor and small area plans that are focused on implementation, specifically for areas within the city with distressed neighborhoods or marginal commercial development.
STRATEGY #3: REMOVE BARRIERS FOR REINVESTMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT IN TARGET AREAS, ESPECIALLY MARGINAL COMMERCIAL STRIP CORRIDORS AND/OR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS
• CONTEXT: There is an oversupply of commercial property in Fayetteville, which has led to high vacancies and underperforming commercial strip development along many major thoroughfares. Encouraging commercial reinvestment and redevelopment at key nodes and allowing the marginal strip commercial properties to redevelop into apartments and multi-family residential (with cross access between properties) could simultaneously reinvigorate distressed and blighted strip commercial properties and reinforce the neighborhood nodes. This will provide stability and focused investment in key nodes that will build community value that will permeate the surrounding neighborhoods, while also providing a useful and important function for underutilized properties. Over the years, strip development has occurred on nearly every major or minor arterial in the city. This effect has been exacerbated by the numerous, incremental road realignments as well as unpredictable and significant fluctuations in demand and population (in part due to the military base). The changes have created an unreliable backdrop for investment, with an ever-changing landscape of population density, income, access, and availability. As each new strip develops, it disenfranchises the previous strip development by lowering demand, and partially underutilized land and marginal businesses and rental spaces are all that is left. Some parcels were so highly prized for their frontage on an arterial that the entire back 75% of the parcel was ignored, with just a parking lot and shallow commercial space developed along the roadway. With the
Strip commercial centers with reinvestment potential existing on many of the major commercial corridors. Often, these commercial strip buildings have vacant land behind them that is underutilized.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 40
newly proposed focal activity areas, it is important to encourage and incentivize redevelopment of these marginal strip commercial centers. By doing so, these properties can redevelop as higher value contributors to a better organized community quit that will reinforce activity centers.
• Strip properties within Commercial Strip Redevelopment character areas will be incentivized to redevelop as higher density residential properties. They have good vehicular access for residents and the reduction in commercial properties will heighten demand for the remaining commercial at the activity centers. These activity centers will then benefit by increased demand for upfits and redevelopment, which will increase their attractiveness and vibrancy. The existing and future pedestrian facilities along these redeveloped corridors will connect the residents of the redeveloped Commercial Strip Redevelopment areas with the activity centers, which will help those businesses flourish by having a high population of potential consumers nearby.
• Neighborhood Improvement/Redevelopment character areas offer a
similar opportunity for marginal residential neighborhoods that have failed to grow value as much as other neighborhoods. If context- sensitive redevelopment of appropriate density is allowed and encouraged to occur, it can lead to aggregation of parcels and redevelopment that will build wealth and spur reinvestment. The city will need to find ways to encourage slight increases in density while maintaining neighborhood character. Public improvements, such as sidewalks, street trees, curb-and-gutter, street lights, upfitting sewer pipes, etc. could be targeted to spur reinvestment.
• IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
o Identify properties and reach out to owners and the development community to identify strategies and incentives for encouraging the desired redevelopment.
o If necessary, make changes to the land development regulations and zoning code, including a potential zoning overlay with relaxed lot sizes, dimensional standards, use
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 41
allowances or housing type allowances, etc., to allow the desired development to occur.
o Begin a targeted incentive program that encourages the desired outcomes. If possible, establish a standing funding stream for redevelopment activities, which may include a municipal services district, dedicated general fund revenues, low interest revolving loan fund, waiver of utility or inspection fees, etc.
STRATEGY #4: COORDINATE EFFORTS AMONG DEPARTMENTS TO CREATE SYNERGISTIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR REINVESTMENT IN DISTRESSED AREAS
• CONTEXT: Incremental, disjointed improvements by multiple players
across a broad area will fail to communicate priorities and direction that will focus private sector investment to build community wealth. This issue may be addressed by the public sector in the following ways:
o upzoning select parcels o upsizing water, sewer, stormwater, electric, and broadband
infrastructure o adding pedestrian and transportation improvements o providing outdoor recreation, open space, and stormwater
management o school improvements
By coordinating and focusing public sector energy, funding, and improvements into key locations, the city can leverage private investment in those locations to build community value that extends into neighboring residential properties. Specifically, transportation improvements such as realigning key major and minor intersections and establishing connections near activity nodes is an opportunity in areas that could benefit from investment or public realm enhancements. This will require a coordinated effort between planning staff and transportation agencies. Identifying and realigning minor road sections and/or establishing connections between neighborhoods and commercial centers can lead to more
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 42
intuitive neighborhood centers and focus private sector investment decisions in areas that will build community focus and wealth, including opportunities for walkable, distinct, and active nodes.
• IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS: o Identify a lead from each city department, establish a regular
coordination/meeting framework. Evaluate the current development review and implementation process, as well as intended and unintended consequences of current efforts including public facility planning, redevelopment, cost recovery, beautification, etc.
o Map out priority focus neighborhoods or areas and discuss ways to align efforts. Create a group priority recommendation and get community buy-in, including extensive outreach to the community and private sector.
o Inventory and identify misaligned intersections and gaps in the road network.
o Prioritize those interventions, in part using public input, and then budget for acquisition and construction.
o Ensure that these new connections include pedestrian facilities that connect residences to activity centers, to help reinforce these new nodes of commercial activity.
o Connect neighborhoods to commercial nodes to support and activate these areas. Method for realigning should rank parcels relative distance to key nodes and seek interventions that have highest cost (purchase + construction) – to – benefit (increased connectivity to node).
STRATEGY #5: INCREASE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS IN SUPPORT OF GOALS AND ACTION STEPS IN THIS DOCUMENT
• CONTEXT: Public engagement is the cornerstone of plan
implementation. Without public buy-in, a plan will meet resistance when it comes time to implement, budget, prioritize, and appropriate funds. By building a network of contacts in local institutions,
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 43
neighborhoods, and districts, and reaching out for education, momentum can be built for implementing plan recommendations.
• IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS: Identify and designate a responsible internal team and task them with making contacts and establishing small-scale neighborhood meetings throughout the city. Outreach beginning in the Fall of 2019 can help validate recommendations in the Future Land Use Map and this document and can contribute to an understanding of priority issues to inform a new Comprehensive Plan. A “road show” should be developed that highlights key recommendations in this plan and familiarizes community members and organizations with the goals of the plan. Create and disseminate other informational material, including a website, to help educate the community and provide avenues for them to discuss, comment on, and revise the Plan. Establish metrics for successful engagement and track and report on those metrics to an appropriately accountable body. Additional implementation steps include: o Utilize the city’s planning staff and public information office to
serve as the “front line” for implementation of all goals and strategies in this map update.
o Involve other local partners (NCDOT, developers, etc.) when necessary to serve as conduits in the implementation of the goals of this planning effort to assist in the coordination of regulatory compliance
o Ensure that the land use map, its character areas, and their descriptions are regularly updated according to the city’s development trends and the desires of the citizens of Fayetteville
o Facilitate training and education on the implications of this report to areas of the city that would be affected the most by the changes outlined within these policies and strategies.

Section 5: Community Profile The Community Profile focuses on the Fayetteville planning area and includes demographic indicators and trends (i.e. population, employment, income, housing, education, health, aging, etc.) which provide a context for growth and change in Fayetteville and Cumberland County. Natural resources, environmental constraints, existing land use patterns and land use suitability is also documented.
DEMOGRAPHICS POPULATION & AGE Growth has primarily occurred within the City of Fayetteville with an annual growth rate of 3.3% between 2000 and 2017. This compares with an annual growth rate of 0.6% for Cumberland County during this period.
The median age in Fayetteville has generally gotten younger between 2000 and 2017 going from a median age of 31.9 years to 30 years. This is due to a 96% increase of 14,461 persons in the 20 to 24-year age cohort.
VETERANS & PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES Within Fayetteville, Veterans make up approximately 21% of the civilian population of persons over the age of 18. For these Veterans, 28.7% report having a disability. This contributes to the general population of the City having a higher than average number of persons with disabilities (16.7%) than the rest of North Carolina (13.7%). The most prevalent type of difficulty is ambulatory meaning that 9.6% of the population (civilian, non-institutionalized) reports having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

HOUSING The City of Fayetteville has experienced a 77% increase in the number of housing units between 2000 and 2017, at a rate of approximately 3.6% per year during that time period. Most of this growth can be attributed to annexation. The County experienced slower growth in housing units (23%) during this same time period at a rate of approximately 1% per year. The housing table below indicates the types of units in the City and the year that they were built. Most of the housing within Fayetteville is 1 unit detached (62.3%), separated on all sides from any other structure except its own garage or shed. Apartment buildings with 5+ units are also a prevalent housing type within the City. Three quarters of all housing units have been built since 1970. While the dataset is not current to 2019, it appears that construction of units has tapered off since 1999.
Since 2010, there has been a gradual shift towards renter-occupied housing. In 2013 the balance tipped toward renter-occupied housing. Currently, Fayetteville has 45.2% owner-occupied housing. Median rent is $892 and 85% of housing units are occupied (2017 ACS, 5-Year Estimates).

INCOME Median household income in Fayetteville was $43,439 in 2017. Median household income in 2017 is approximately 11% less than in 2010 when adjusting for inflation. This decrease in household income is consistent with an increase in family poverty. During this time period, there has also been a small increase in the ratio of income spent on rent as a percentage of overall household income.

NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS Floodplain and Hydric Soil Hydric soils primarily exist in and around the Cape Fear River, making these areas unsuitable for intense development. The vast floodplain of the Cape Fear River has a significant footprint, especially on the older parts of town, including east of downtown. New development should respect these constraints, especially since a changing future climate predicts stronger, more intense rainfall events, which will test the ability of the floodplain to absorb and store water. Minimizing or eliminating development in the floodplains should be pursued as a way to protect existing investment on the fringe, and allow these lands to serve their highest and best function: storing floodwaters. Floodplains can also have secondary uses, however, such as passive recreation and wildlife habitat preservation.
Natural Resources and Environmental Constraints The area’s natural heritage elements and natural areas are somewhat fragmented, as is common in highly urbanized and suburbanized areas. The majority of natural resources follow riparian corridors, preserved areas, or are contained on the military base property, which includes significant tracts of fairly undisturbed natural areas. Focused study and acquisition of key properties could enhance natural resources in the region by connecting habitat corridors and refuge areas.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 49
EXISTING LAND USE AND LAND SUPPLY Existing Land Use Existing land use was analyzed for all land within Fayetteville’s municipal limits and municipal influence area. The exercise of mapping an area’s existing land use is different from the city’s zoning map or future land use designation in that it utilizes the city’s tax parcel records and confirmation through aerials and other means to verify what is occurring on any given parcel. For example, a parcel in the western part of the city may be zoned commercial but have an institutional use on-site (such as a church or school). For this analysis, the existing land use of that parcel would be considered institutional.
The dominant land uses in within Fayetteville’s municipal limits are detached single family residential land (40%), vacant land (28%), and institutional land (9%). Much of the vacant land is located along the I-295 corridor and east of the Cape Fear River. Single family residential land was broken up into three categories:
o Single family residential <.5 acres o Single family residential .5 – 1 acre o Single family residential > 1 acre
The majority of single-family residential land (26%) is made up of residential parcels on lots less than .5 acres.
Additional existing land use observations include:
o There is more commercially zoned land than there are actual commercial land uses
o Much of existing commercial areas is older strip development along many older routes into Base and could benefit from targeted reinvestment.
o Much of the vacant land within the city is located around the I-295 corridor. This is expected to change over the next decade as the project nears completion.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 50
Land Supply
Using data derived from county tax records, a land supply analysis was conducted to identify land into three categories:
o Available o Underutilized o Utilized
Available land is typically vacant land and may be, for example, currently used for farming purposes with no significant structure onsite.
Underutilized parcels are those that have a low structure value to land value ratio. Although some land identified as underutilized might already be developed, it provides insight into land that could conceivably be redeveloped if development pressures are experienced.
Utilized or “built” lands are those that have homes, businesses, churches or schools on them. This exercise showed that approximately 53 percent of the land in Fayetteville is either available or underutilized. Much of the available and underutilized land is situated along the Study Area’s periphery, predominantly east of the Cape Fear River where hydric soil and floodplain are found most frequently.
The methodology to develop a land supply estimate included the steps below: o Calculate improvement value ratio (building / land value) o Any parcels with an improvement to land value ratio of 1 or more were
considered “Utilized” o Parcels with a value under one but not zero were considered “Underutilized” o Parcels with a value of zero not classified as utilities, cemeteries, parks, or
institutional uses were considered “Available”. o Additional adjustments were made for areas within the city that have a low
land and building value.
ayetteville FUTURE LAND USE MAP | 51
SUITABILITY ANALYSIS To supplement and support the future land use map, suitability analysis was conducted utilizing geographic information systems (GIS) software to identify lands within Fayetteville that would be most appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. Data that was factored into this analysis included identifying lands proximal to compatible uses (e.g. commercial centers close to residential neighborhoods or industrial development away from residential neighborhoods), proximity to Fort Bragg, lands located within or close to environmental constraints, and lands close to major intersections and interchanges (both existing and proposed).
Results from the suitability analysis exercise include:
• Identification of focal commercial and industrial nodes • Better illumination of residential constraints • Understanding the impacts and externalities of corridors
