The motion to recommend for approval of the Comprehensive Plan from the Commission failed 3-4 and therefore went forward to the Council with a negative recommendation. This item went before City Council in October of 2006. In the Council discussion there were concerns about traffic and not knowing the end use (a day care was mentioned). The City Council has referred this item back to the Commission for further discussion and recommendation. Since this time, staff has met with the applicant to discuss the possibility of amending their original P.D.D. Planned Development District; however, the Ordinance requires the P.D.D. to be able to reflect the specific commercial or residential use. The applicant is not in a position to reflect a specific use at this time, so this would not be a viable option for them. Staff also discussed the possibilities of a P.M.U.D. Planned Mixed-Use- District with the applicant. This would require residential and non-residential land uses each constituting at least twenty percent (20%) of the overall land uses within the mixed-use development. The remaining sixty percent (60%) may be any combination. The applicant does not feel that this would be a viable option either. This item has been resubmitted with no changes. Staff is still recommending for denial of this Comprehensive Plan change.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 RE: Comprehensive Land Use Amendment Castlerock Subdivision(Case#06-500175) College Station, Texas Dear Ms. Reeves: On October 12, 2006, the College Station City Council voted to send the above- referenced Land Use Amendment back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further review and consideration. Please schedule this item for P&Z consideration as soon as possible. I propose that the amendment proceed as previously planned to change the land use classification to Office. I have considered the other options the staff has proposed for this tract, and I still feel the "Office" land use classification and"A-P"zoning is necessary for my planning of the tract. Attached is additional information I would like included in the packets presented to the P&Z and City Council for this item. This information is provided in hard copy, as well as in electronic format on the attached CD. Please contact me at (979) 690-7250 if you have any questions.

Comprehensive Land Use Amendment Castlerock Subdivision Attached is a sketch showing the location of the proposed office site on State Highway 40, William D. Fitch Parkway, at the west end of the proposed Castlerock Subdivision. As shown on the sketch, there will be only 3 street or driveway connections between the Arrington Road/SH 40 intersection, and the SH 40/Victoria Avenue intersection. All of these will be for right in/right out traffic only. The minimum driveway spacing for SH 40 is 425 feet. The separation distance from Castlerock Parkway to the future driveway for the Office Site is more than 3 times the 425 feet minimum distance. The profile of SH 40 in this area provides for excellent site visibility for traffic entering on SH 40, as shown on the attached photos. SH 40 has 2-12.5 feet wide traffic lanes and a 10.5 feet wide improved shoulder which will serve as an acceleration/deceleration lane for traffic entering and exiting from SH 40. Traffic entering and exiting for the Office Site Driveway can do so just as safely as the traffic at Castlerock Parkway.
