Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Rezoning for
Bird Pond Estates from A-O Agricultural Open to A-OR Rural Residential Subdivision,
consisting of approximately 94.373 acres located on the south side Bird Pond Road, just
north-east of Rock Prairie Road. (06-00500181 - JR)
Applicant: Cody Catelena, property owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting the subject property be rezoned from A-O
Agricultural Open to A-OR Rural Residential for the development of a rural residential
subdivision with a minimum of (1) one-acre lots on approximately 94.373 acres.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The City's Comprehensive Plan shows this area
as Single Family Low Density, which allows 1/3 to 2 dwelling units per acre. Currently
the subject property is zoned A-O Agricultural Open. There is a small portion of Flood
Plain & Streams located on this property which will remain A-O Agricultural Open. The
rezoning request to A-OR Rural Residential is in compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the City of College Station
City Limits in November of 2002 and was designated with an A-O Agricultural Open
zone at the time of annexation. The subject property currently is not platted. The
rezoning to A-OR Rural Residential would be in compliance with the Master Plan, which
is under the Commissions consideration.
Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the
question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission
options are:
1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted;
2. Recommend denial;
3. Table indefinitely; or,
4. Defer action to a specified date.
