Resolution No.04-26-01 - 12.03
College Station Comprehensive Plan
City of College Station,Texas
The area should be planned as College/University. If the site returns to private use in the
future, it should be used either as office or clean industrial.
SUB-AREA 4A
This Sub-Area is located east of the Texas A&M property and extends from FM 60 to
FM30. It comprises the 192 acres included in the agreement between the City of College
Station and the Adam Corporation for infrastructure improvements. The entire 192 acres
are zoned M-1 Planned Industrial.
This area is substantially undeveloped. Much of the area is open with scattered tree
growth. Terrain in this area becomes more rolling and continues to rise in slope towards
the north and east. There are no regulatory floodplains in the area.
The City's commitment to extend infrastructure to and throughout the area constitutes a
major public investment that is justified in the interest of economic development. In
order to recover the cost of that infrastructure, the City's Economic Development
Department has concluded that the area needs to develop with uses that will have a
sufficient tax base. The area should be reflected as mixed use, with an emphasis on uses
such as office, commercial, clean industrial, and higher density single family and multi-
family housing. Low density housing should be discouraged. Housing that appeals to
professionals should be encouraged. The PDD district could be used to facilitate design
innovation and more intense commercial uses. Standard zoning districts that permit high
density single family, multi-family, clean industrial, offices, and commercial uses that are
conducive to tourism would also be appropriate in this area. There should be buffering
included to protect the future residential development in Sub-Area 6. The buffer should
be substantial and height restrictions should be added for the tracts immediately abutting
Sub-Area 6.
SUB-AREA 4B
This area includes the remainder of the
FM 60 frontage east of Sub-Area 4A to .
the FM 158 intersection. Most of the 4B ` {
area is undeveloped. The terrain is open
with scattered tree growth. Slopes jFfi
become more rolling and continue to rise .�
towards the north and east. There are no �f'
regulatory floodplains in the area. Tracts ,;;;;/cc.
'
are relatively large and undivided. t``_ `

7. Consideration, possible action, and discussion of a request to place a wrought
iron fence along the west boundary of Crescent Pointe Park site. Gary E.
moved that, upon staff recommendation, the fencing be accepted as long as 1)
it is ornamental in nature 2) the park has 95% visibility; 3) the preference is
wrought iron; and, 4) there is a minimum of two access points into the park.
Carol B. seconded the motion. Discussion followed regarding any stipulations
as to fence height and the difficulty in attaining 95% visibility through a fence.
Glenn S. made a friendly amendment to change the percentage to allow for
80% visibility. Harry seconded the friendly amendment. The vote was called.
The motion carried 5-1; Jodi abstained and Kathleen voted against the motion.
