COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM
Current Land Use Plan designation: Single Family Residential —medium density
Requested Land Use Plan designation: Neighborhood Retail and Office
Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: The larger surrounding area is
developed with very dense single-family development. Both tracts are now located on a major
collector roadway and would be better suited to provide supportive uses for the larger residential
area, including light retail and office uses.
Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation:
1. The extension of Lonqmire has improved circulation in the area and increased the
amount of traffic that drives by this site.
2. The development of hundreds of single-family homes in the area has increased the need
for retail and office uses in closer proximity than currently exists.
3. The development of hundreds of smaller single-family homes in the area has
encouraged overcrowding, parking problems and noise issues. This tract could only
develop equally small or smaller residential housing units due to its configuration.
How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of
College Station Comprehensive Plan? This change provides neighborhood retail uses in a
location accessible to many residential developments without residents having to travel farther
to Rock Prairie Rd. The Office land use can provide work locations close to and easily
accessible to surrounding residential areas. This change creates an environment where there
are a mix of land uses in the overall area rather than providing more homes in an already
congested area or trying to crowd residential, office and retail on one tract of insufficient size.
Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing
designation. Both tracts can now serve the needs of all the surrounding residential homes as
well as provide a buffer for existing development from the noise and traffic along Lonqmire.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached
hereto are true and correct.
