CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, AR
PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT
PLEASE CONSULT WITH STAFF PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION IN ENERGOV, TO
CONFIRM THE APPROVAL YOU ARE SEEKING IS IN THE CORRECT PROCESS.
A Planned Zoning District application is processed with a recommendation from the Planning Commission
to City Council, much like a standard rezoning review process. The City Council decides on the
requested zoning and land use, not development approval.
A development application (Preliminary Plat, Large Scale Development, etc.) may be concurrently
processed with a Planned Zoning District application. The development application will be decided on by
the Planning Commission and any approval will be conditional upon the City Council’s zoning decision.
Instructions:
Please fill out the Energov fields completely, supplying all necessary information and documentation to
support your request.
It is highly recommended the applicant conduct a meeting with nearby neighborhoods to discuss
the proposed zoning prior to application submittal. Your application will not be placed on the
applicable agenda until all necessary information is furnished.
