Based on the nature and extent of the requested amendment, additional studies may be required. Attach additional sheets if necessary. Current Land Use Plan designation: Single-Family Residential—Medium Density Requested Land Use Plan designation: Retail Regional Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: For re-zoning of the tract to C-I, General Commercial. Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation: The tract to the west of this tract is Retail Regional on the Land Use Plan, and having similar uses on either side of Victoria Avenue would seem appropriate. The access and visibility provided by William D. Fitch Parkway makes this an excellent location for commercial uses. How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan? The land use change would allow for a transition in the land use from single-family residential to commercial, which is more desirable than single family residential along a freeway. The commercial uses are necessary to support the significant amount of single-family residential development in the area and the future high school which will be located on Victoria to the northwest of this tract. Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing designation. The adjacent tract is commercial and single-family residential is not desirable at a major intersection such as Victoria Avenue and William D. Fitch Parkway. There is an existing natural gas pipeline which parallels the boundary between Tracts 1 & 2, which hinders the development of these two tract together as one tract. Individually, these two tracts are shaped such that they cannot be efficiently developed as single-family residential. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM TRACT 3 — 5.627 ACRES The following is required if an amendment to the Land Use Plan is requested. Based on the nature and extent of the requested amendment, additional studies may be required. Attach additional sheets if necessary. Current Land Use Plan designation: Flood Plain & Streams and Single-Family Residential— Medium Density. Requested Land Use Plan designation: Office Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: For re-zoning of the tract to Administrative-Professional. Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation: A portion of the Castle Rock Subdivision will be developed as a professional office complex and it is anticipated that there will be additional demand for this type of development. The access provided by the extension of Castle Rock Parkway and the need for employment opportunities close to neighborhoods such that the residents can walk or bike to work make this an excellent location for professional offices. How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan? The land use change would allow for offices to be located near single-family residential development and open space areas and encourage residents to use alternative means of transportation to reach work. A goal of the City has been to preserve floodplain and stream areas throughout the City. This land use change proposes to allow development of some floodplain fringe area. This request is unique in that this tract is part of the original Crowley Tract which has already set aside approximately 70 acres of land which will not be developed. The location of the 70 acres was determined during the Corps of Engineers(COE)permitting process, which preserved the most valuable ecological areas. The proposed encroachment into the floodplain by this request is primarily for areas on the fringe of the floodplain which were purposely left out of the COE protected areas because it was pasture land having very little ecological value. The streams are contained within the protected area. Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing designation. There is already a significant amount of single-family residential development in this general area. This land use change would allow for a mix of uses within the development which has been desired for many developments, few of which have ever been achieved. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM TRACT 2 — 8.280 ACRES The following is required if an amendment to the Land Use Plan is requested. Based on the nature and extent of the requested amendment, additional studies may be required. Attach additional sheets if necessary. Current Land Use Plan designation: Floodplain & Streams and Single-Family Residential— Medium Density Requested Land Use Plan designation: Retail Regional Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: For re-zoning of the tract to C-I, General Commercial.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM TRACT 4— 5.827 ACRES The following is required if an amendment to the Land Use Plan is requested. Based on the nature and extent of the requested amendment, additional studies may be required. Attach additional sheets if necessary. Current Land Use Plan designation: Floodplain 8 Streams and Single-Family Residential— Medium Density Requested Land Use Plan designation: Residential Attached Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: For re-zoning of the tract to R-4, Multi-Family. Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation: A majority of the residential developments in south College Station have consisted of typical single-family residential subdivisions. There is a demand for additional types of housing. Multi-family residential developments are typically located near a new high school or large commercial and retail developments in order to provide the diversified housing types this area will need. Also, this is a perfect location for a multi-family development due to the surrounding green belt area. How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan? This land use change would provide for an additional type of residential land use for this area which does not currently exist. Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing designation. The shape of the tract and the location of the existing sanitary sewer line through the tract does not allow for an efficient layout of a typical single-family residential development. The tract has City-owned property to the north and east and the future Castle Rock Parkway to the south, so there will be no adjacent development on these three sides of the tract. The adjacent land to the west is anticipated to be single-family residential, but it will be adequately buffered by the UDO requirements and the existing gas pipeline which creates additional distance between the land uses. This request provides a great transition of land uses from C-I to A-P to Multi-Family and then to R-1 as you go away from William D. Fitch Parkway.
