Let the home buyer choose what they want and market produce it!

Doesnt make sense with people having more cars. Does the city want street parking?

100% oppose!! Plan on attending the meeting as well. This is insane. Builders will move to other counties....

Our area is growing at a rapid rate. These proposed changes will directly impact people choosing NOT to move to Fayetteville because of single car garages. This & mandating garages in the back of homes will limit growth. 2-3 garages has become the standard for homes today. Fayetteville will be losing new residents, therefore losing sales tax, property tax, and other benefits to the city. Please rethink this idea. Fayetteville would be going backwards, which is counter to our strides into the future that Fayetteville prides itself on. Thank you.

This will increase the cost of housing and aggravate the out migration of middle to low income buyers to the suburbs. Where is the consideration for these folks?

Single car garages are outdated. This is taking 10 steps backwards.

Not a realtor, but a resident who has been very negatively impacted by the city’s use of on-street parking. Want to slow down traffic? Post a lower speed limit

Far too many couples must work to provide, food, and family necessities just to get by and need two cars. Let's not put more cars outside garages on tiny driveways or on the streets. Let's think about our Fayetteville family first.

This ordinance will shut down the ability to sell property. As a leading Real Estate Broker in Fayetteville for over 35 years I have never heard of anything more concerning than this. Our general public will move to surrounding areas and our tax base will be affected. This is a idea that does not conform to normal Real Estate practices in this area or anywhere in the Country. This would be a huge mistake to implement this idea.

Buyers won't buy these homes and builders will stop building in Fayetteville and go to surrounding areas to build. Talk about tax revenue loss for Fayetteville! Cant see this coming???? Sorry, bad idea!

Totally disagree with this kind of interference with property rights.

This will negatively effect buyers from considering Fayetteville, Ar as a place called home. This should not be a limitation to building a new home or driveway and should be neighborhood specific as it is in most cities. This should not be a citywide ordinance.

Small lots and no-parking streets makes this untenable. When those historic district houses were built with their cute narrow drives, only one person in those households worked. Growing up in a family where mom worked nights and dad worked days, the first thing they did to each house we lived in was widen the driveway. The proposed ordinance discriminates against the poor and middle class.
