DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Zoning: A-O to R-4 in 1988
Final Plat: Original Final Plat in 1993; replatted into separate lot in April 2007.
Site development: Vacant
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The applicant has proposed a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the subject property, changing the Land Use Plan
designation from Single Family— Medium Density to Office. If approved, that change will
allow this rezoning request to be considered. The subject property is vacant and was
created in April 2007 when it was subdivided out of a 7.5-acre developed lot. The
Comprehensive Plan promotes the use of vacant land where City infrastructure and
services are readily available. In addition, compatible infill development is encouraged.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: Adjacent to the subject property are R-4,
Multi-Family districts to the north and east and an A-O, Agricultural Open zoning district
to the west. Each of the adjacent uses are conforming uses, the R-4 lots developed as
assisted living/nursing home facilities while the A-O property is developed as a place of
worship. The properties to the south of Rock Prairie Road are developed as Southwood
Athletic Park and College Station Middle School.

When the public hearing was held for the replat of the property in April 2007, several
residents from the nearby Southwood Forest and Brandon Heights subdivisions expressed
concerns about the new R-4, multi-family lot. Concerns were mainly focused on issues
about density, traffic, and noise related to the potential addition of a multi-family and/or
student population in the area. The proposed zoning district is compatible and potentially
complimentary to the adjacent care facilities while also likely reducing the concerns of the
residents.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The subject
property is suitable for the proposed zoning district due in part to its access and visibility
from Rock Prairie Road, a Major Arterial on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. In addition,
the district could be complimentary to the adjacent uses and others along Rock Prairie
Road.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The size
of the property and a number of easements including drainage and access easements
limit the potential for development. The subject property has access through an existing
access easement shared with neighboring care facilities.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
owner has placed subject property for sale and is seeking to enhance the marketability
of the property through the proposed change. The proposed zoning will allow office
and/or medical uses to be developed that are potentially complimentary to the adjacent
uses and to the College Station Medical Center campus and other uses along Rock
Prairie Road.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing water and
sanitary sewer lines located on the property. Stormwater drainage from the property is
required to meet Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines at the time of site development.
The subject property has 200' of frontage along Rock Prairie Road, a Major Arterial. No
additional driveways will be permitted to the property as it has access through an
existing access easement shared with the care facilities to the north and east.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The property was zoned R-4 for the development of an assisted living facility in 1988. With the
recent subdivision of the property, this portion may develop with R-4 uses. This request to
change to an A-P zoning district will help ensure a more compatible infill development. If the
associated Comprehensive Plan Amendment to an Office designation is approved, Staff
recommends approval of the rezoning.
