College Station,Texas 77840 Attn: Jason Shubert RE:LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT—HOLLEMAN @ FM2818 Dear Jason, Per our discussions over the past year,now that we have completed the Thoroughfare Plan Amendment,Preliminary Plat,Parks Board Parkland dedication approval and land swap with the City of College Station,we are moving to our next step in developing the Capstone-Cottages project. As you will recall,we processed the Preliminary Plat and Thoroughfare Plan Amendment first in order to accommodate the timeframe for the City of College Station Electrical Division substation project. We are now moving to the next step in the process, consisting of the change in land use designation on the property from Industrial R&D to Planned Development along with a subsequent rezoning. Reason for Land Use Plan Amendment: In looking at the adjacent land uses,they consist of single family residential property,multi-family residential, an oil well,water pump station and a recreational vehicle park. We would like to develop a master planned residential community on this property and believe that it fits well with these adjacent uses, and actually better than industrial uses. The master planned community will consist of a cottage concept featuring arts& crafts-inspired architectural style with cottage,manor home, lodge and duplex units. There will be a resort style clubhouse,pool, and large open space green areas with all cottages set on private streets contained within a gated community. In addition,there will be a neighborhood style retail center to serve the cottage community and the surrounding neighborhoods. Explain the Changed Conditions: There are several changed conditions that have occurred in the area since the 1997 Comprehensive Plan. The first change occurred in 2006 when the City Council approved a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of the adjacent 43 acre property from Industrial R&D to Residential Attached. This was followed immediately with a subsequent rezoning of 34 acres to R-4 and the remainder to A-O for this same property. In addition to this Comprehensive Plan and zoning change there has been another changed condition in the immediate area. This occurred with the plans for the proposed TXDOT bridge project at FM 2818 and Wellborn Road. The scope of this project with its elevated bridge crossing the railroad tracks and Wellborn Road will greatly affect the access to this property. As a direct result of this upcoming bridge project and the decision to not allow Jones-Butler to connect north-south under the bridge,the Thoroughfare Plan was amended through this property to allow access from Jones-Butler to the existing signal at Holleman Drive. This new alignment allows for better access and circulation from the south along Jones-Butler to FM2818. As an industrial piece of property,one of the attractions of this site was the ability to have the large single tract 511 UNIVERSITY DRIVE EAST,SUITE 204 • COLLEGE STATION,TX 77840• T. 979.260.6963• F. 979.260.3564 CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS • HYDROLOGY • UTILITIES • STREETS • SITE PLANS • SUBDIVISIONS info@mitchellandmorgan.com • www.mitchellandmorgan.com 3 with access to FM2818 for development as a warehousing operation, light manufacturing, scientific testing or other large research and development venture. With the new bridge location and access to FM2818 essentially limited to the new Holleman/Jones-Butler/FM2818 intersection an industrial user would not likely be a good candidate for the property. Other areas of the city and the TAMU Research Park that are more attractive from an access standpoint and adjacency issues that are more conducive to a light industrial or warehousing operation. How does the request further the Goals and Objectives of the CS Comprehensive Plan? There are several objectives within the CS Comprehensive Plan that this request will help further. First, Goal #3 states that"College Station should continue to protect, preserve and enhance existing and future neighborhoods". Under this goal, Objective 3.1 states that"College Station should continue to protect the integrity of residential areas by minimizing intrusive and incompatible land uses and densities". A move to change this property designation to Planned Development from Industrial R&D should help further this objective. Objective 3.2 states that"College Station should encourage compatible in-fill development, such as small-scale neighborhood retail, adjacent to residential neighborhoods with appropriate buffering." Here again utilizing this property as planned development with residential and a small commercial component adjacent to FM2818 will help further this goal as well. Lastly, City Council has stated on numerous occasions that they would prefer to see student development closer to campus in an effort to minimize their traffic impacts on our thoroughfare system. This property is located in an area that would further this goal as well. Why is Planned Development more appropriate than Industrial R&D? From the perspective of the adjacent neighborhoods (Quail Run and the Woodlands in particular)this land use change should be a positive change. Rather than having an industrial user at their front door they will now have a Planned Development project wherein as part of its zoning approval, a concept plan of the site depicting the location of buildings, parking, buffering, open space and densities will be shown at the public hearing. This Planned Development land use is the only land use designation that requires the submittal of a concept plan showing adjacent property owners the plan for the property. As an industrial property with zoning either M-1 or M-2 there is no site plan that shows the adjacent neighbors what use or layout is planned for the site, and the unknowns of that process produce uncertainty and concern among neighbors. We believe that for this area of College Station with its adjacent users and the large thoroughfares which surround and bisect the property that Planned Development is a much more appropriate land use designation than Industrial R&D. We appreciate your consideration of this request and as always please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions. 11, ' erely, I J ill or,, P.E.
