P-1 Institutional District Setback Standards in Fayetteville
In the City of Fayetteville, the P-1 Institutional district maintains a standard front setback of 15 feet, which increases to 50 feet if parking is permitted between the building and the street right-of-way. While side setbacks are generally not required, a 15-foot setback must be maintained for both side and rear property lines when the lot is contiguous to a residential district. For developments choosing to utilize the "Urban Form" standards, a front build-to zone is established between 10 and 25 feet from the front property line [Section 161.32].

Additional Placement Regulations
Visibility at Intersections
In all P-1 Institutional districts, the City of Fayetteville requires that no motor vehicle or mobile home be parked in a manner that obstructs the view of drivers at intersections. Specifically, these vehicles cannot be parked between the centerline grades of intersecting streets in an area bounded by the street lines 10 feet from the point of intersection [Section 164.17(B)].
Erection of Multiple Structures
Fayetteville allows the erection of more than one principal structure housing a permitted use on a single lot within the P-1 Institutional district. In these cases, all setback and UDC requirements must be met for each structure as though it were located on an individual lot [Section 164.07].
Urban Form Street Frontage
When a developer in the P-1 Institutional district utilizes the Urban Form standards, they must adhere to a minimum buildable street frontage. This requires that 50% of the lot width be occupied by the vertical side of a building or structure within the designated build-to zone [Section 161.32(H)].
