A request was submitted to the City of Fayetteville earlier this month to rezone the 112 Drive-In property in order to allow a wide variety of commercial and residential uses.

• New spaces: The 112 Drive-In property is nearly 20-acres and is set to be sold to developers. A tentative site plan shows a variety of options for housing and commercial uses such as retail or restaurant spaces. 
• A theatre to stay: The potential plans for the property currently include a smaller outdoor movie screen with an 805-seat cinema with a beer garden. The rezoning request will be discussed in the Planning Commission’s April 11 meeting.
