Fayetteville's City Council voted 8-0 to rezone just over 24 acres of former farmland northeast of Joyce Boulevard and Old Missouri Road as a community services district. That mixed-use zoning allows homes from single-family to multifamily plus small shops, restaurants and offices. The developer's attorney pointed to nearby growth, including the new Woodland Junior High under construction.
