Fayetteville's accessory dwelling unit proposal

The regulatory requirements placed by the City of Fayetteville on ADUs have resulted in a continuation of permitted or constructed units lower than staff anticipated and well below the potential to meaningfully impact housing options. Staff has seen the lack of affordable and flexible housing play out in real time while working through the short-term rental ordinance coupled with the supply-chain and affordability issues highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many property owners are looking for sources of income to pay mortgages and rising property taxes, and ADUs can serve this purpose while also contributing to the citywide variety of housing options in otherwise low-density areas. With well over half of Fayetteville zoned exclusively for single-family homes, ADUs can promote incremental increases in housing and density and complement existing housing stock in term of scale and impact. ADUs can afford existing property owners the opportunity to stay in their homes and not disrupt the fabric of the overall community.

Priority schools: 2012-14

The Arkansas Department of Education has identified 46 Arkansas schools as "priority schools," meaning they were the lowest achieving 5 percent of schools in the state over a three-year period, 2012-14, on state Benchmark and End-of-Course math and literacy tests. To be removed from the list, the schools must meet annual achievement goals and graduation goals for two consecutive years on new exams that are replacing the discontinued state tests.

Focus schools: 2012-14

The Arkansas Department of Education has identified 105 Arkansas schools as "focus schools," which are the 10 percent of the state's public schools that have the largest achievement gaps between student groups on state Benchmark and End-of-Course exams over three years: 2012, 2013 and 2014. The gap that is measured is the one between the "Targeted Achievement Gap Group," or TAGG group, and the students who are not in that group, the non-TAGG students. The TAGG group is made up of students who are from low-income families, have disabilities or are learning English as a second language. To be removed from the list, schools must meet annual achievement and graduation goals for two consecutive years on new exams that are replacing the Benchmark and End of Course exams.
