Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Rezoning from A-O,
Agricultural Open to C-2, Commercial Industrial consisting of 1 lot on 16.4 acres located at
17339 SH 6 S in the generial vicinity of the east side of State Highway 6 south of the College
Station Business Park.
This item is for a rezoning of approximately 16 acres of the Animate Habitat
project located on SH 6 south of Gateway Boulevard. The applicant is
request to rezone the property from A-O Agricultural Open to C-2
Commercial Industrial.
A rezoning for the same property came before this board-on February 1st of
this year for M-2, Heavy Industrial. After hearing the concerns of the P&Z,
the applicant withdrew the request before the City Council meeting. The
applicant resubmitted for C-2 which will require compliance with the Non-
Residential Architectural Standards and has a much more limited range of
allowed uses — two of the commissions biggest concerns.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Industrial/R&D and the
property is surrounded by undeveloped A-O Agricultural Open on all sides.
The property has frontage on SH 6 and also includes a portion of the future
extension of Lakeway Drive — Major Collector.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1996 and
subsequently zoned A-O, Agricultural Open. The entire property was under
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment in 2004. The applicant at the time '
recommended this property be amended to Retail Regional, however, the e•
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council concurred with Staff's -----
recommendation that the area remain as Industrial R&D. The property is
not currently platted.
taff jlecommerittaff recommends approval of the rezoning.
