APPLICANT INFORMATION: Name: Jane Kee, IPS Group on behalf of Angel Cacho-Negrete Street Address: 511 University Drive, College Station, Texas 77840 Phone Number: 979.846.9259 Fax Number: 979.846.9259 E-mail: janeaipsaroup.us DEVELOPRE'S INFORMATION: Name: Angle Cacho-Negrete, KDKC E-mail:kitchenatxcyber.com Street Address: 201 Wellborn Road, College Station, Texas 77840 Phone Number:979.219.0568 PROPERTY OWNER'S INFORMATION: Name: Pittman, Billy Jr. & Sherry Street Address: 1861 Briarcrest Bryan, Texas 77802 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM Current Land Use Plan designation: Medium Density Single-family Requested Land Use Plan designation: Planned Development Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: To develop a residential product meeting the density for high density single-family, but consisting of attached housing. This is requested rather than changing the land use plan to a multi-family classification which would allow a much higher density and potentially a negative impact on adjacent medium density developments. Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation: All surrounding properties have been developed, leaving this tract as an infill piece. Due to its narrow width and shape, the tract cannot be developed with the typical detached single-family units on individual lots and result in a viable, economically feasible project. The tract is adjacent to a medium density single-family detached subdivision to the west, a developed fire station to the east, the City's Business Park to the north and a major arterial roadway to the south. There is no opportunity for combining this tract with other property to create a more developable piece of land. Infrastructure costs are such that to develop a subdivision with typical single-family lots would price the lots higher than comparable lots in the immediate area and elsewhere in the City, thus resulting in an unmarketable development that would deteriorate over time. How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan? The Planned Development land use designation allows flexibility to develop this infill tract in such a way as to produce a viable attached residential development with the same density as one of the single family land use classifications. Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing designation. The existing designation does not provide for any housing type other than detached units on individual lots and the infrastructure costs to develop this product on this particular tract create lots that are not feasible in this market. The proposed designation allows the opportunity to develop this tract with the same density as high density single- family but with a different housing type. The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true and 'rect. //:-- - .f . g - is•-37 Signat Title Date 1850 William D. Fitch Parkway CPA & Rezoning 07-24 and 07-25 1. Consideration of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 5 acres off of William D. Fitch Parkway from Single-Family Medium Density to Planned Development and a rezoning from A-O Agricultural-Open to PDD Planned Development District 2. Property generally located between Spring Meadows Subdivision and Fire Station #5 on the north side of William D. Fitch Parkway 3. First like to provide background information before presenting the request... 4. As just described, the subject property is surrounded by developed property, therefore cannot be included in other development leaving it as an infill tract of land that has made it difficult to bear the infrastructure costs of a medium density development 5. Received official applications for commercial uses, but staff feels that a residential land use of 9 DU/acre with permitted attached housing would be more appropriate and would serve as a transitional zone between the fire station and the Spring Meadows subdivision; however by a strict application of our ordinances, this type of development would not be allowed because of the following reasons... 6. The Single Family High Density classification, which has a standard of 7-9 DU/acre, does not permit attached housing, however the Attached Housing classification allows densities of 20 DU/acre 7. The Planned Development category and Planned Development District are flexible classifications that facilitate developments such as this that would not otherwise be permitted in other categories 8. This brings us to the request that is before you tonight 9. The applicant is proposing residential development of attached housing built to single family high density standards under a Planned Development category and PDD 10. Both the Planned Development land use category and PDD zoning district are accompanied by a policy or list of permitted uses that establish the purpose of the development 11. For this property, both requests would only allow "residential uses not to exceed 9 DU/acre" 12. If the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for Planned Development is approved, the rezoning request would be in compliance with the plan 13. Staff recommends approval of the amendment to Planned Development and rezoning to PDD, which will require a concept plan to be presented to the Design Review Board for their approval, adding another level of review for this proposal 14. Portion of subject property annexed in 1983 and remaining portion in 1995, subsequently zoned A-O Agricultural-Open, SFMD placed on property in 1997 with adoption of Comp Plan 15. Received 160 responses (phone calls and email) in opposition and 3 inquires 16. Those opposing were generally concerned about the possibility of student housing and increased traffic on Fitch Parkway. Staff is prepared to make a presentation for the proposed ��►��el4 comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning, but as you will see1 at your place I have placed a letter from the applicant. M -Vee -061M has indicated that while a concept plan and elevations are not required, her "client is amenable to preparing these materials" in order to work with the neighborhoods to address their concerns. Therefore she has requested these two items "be remanded back to the P&Z for further discussion of both the comprehensive plan amendment and the rezoning request including site details."
