General Requirements
The PDD Planned Development District is based on the MF Multi-Family district with some
modifications. The development will be a gated multi-family development consisting mostly of
single-detached and two-unit buildings that range between 2 and 5 bedrooms. The primary
buildings will range from 20 to 40 feet in height. The Concept Plan provides the conceptual
layout of buildings,parking, and other features and improvements.
Meritorious Modifications
The following meritorious modifications to MF Multi-Family district requirements are included:
• Allow five-bedroom units types to allow up to five unrelated individuals in a dwelling
unit.
• Reduce the minimum density from 12 units per acre to 8.7 units per acre.
• Reduce the required throat depth of driveways leading up to a gated entrance to be no
more than 60 feet.
• Allow for block length and block perimeter waivers for the development.
Community Benefits
The following community benefits were offered as part of the request:
• Enhance traffic flow along Holleman Drive South, a right turn lane will be constructed
for northbound traffic to turn on Dowling Road. This will encourage drivers to use
Dowling Road and then take Jones Butler Road toward campus, thereby bypassing the
intersection of FM 2818 and Holleman Drive South.
• Provide a private shuttle service from the development to the TAMU campus in the event
that Texas A&M Transportation Services will not be expanding their bus route.
• Construct approximately 900 feet of General.Parkway as required by City ordinance. The
development was reconfigured to provide a public way from the General Parkway
extension to the northwest property line. Two of the entrances into these gated areas have
been moved onto this public way.
• Provide additional parkland funds for additional community enhancement of park
facilities as warranted. This extra parkland fees amount will be based upon the number of
"extra"bedrooms added to the project by the 5-bedroom units.

ADJACENT LAND USES
Direction Comprehensive Plan Zoning Land Use
Urban and R Rural and Mostly vacant with
North Growth Area V M-2 Heavy Industrial some storage and
warehouse
South Urban and R Rural and Vacant
Growth Area V S General Suburban
East (across Wellborn Urban and GC General
Road and railroad) Growth Area V Commercial and Vacant
GS General Suburban
West (across Rural N/A (ETJ) Rural residential

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Annexation: 1970 for portion currently zoned GS General Suburban, 2002 for
portion currently zoned R Rural
Zoning: R-1 Single-Family Residential upon annexation, renamed to GS
General Suburban in 2013; A-O Agricultural Open upon
annexation, renamed to R Rural in 2013.
Final Plat: Property is not platted.
Site development: Vacant
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban and is located in
Growth Area V. The Urban designation is generally for areas that should have a very
intense level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes,
duplexes, and high-density apartments. General commercial and office uses, business
parks, and vertical mixed-use may also be permitted within Growth Area V. The proposed
PDD Planned Development District is for a multi-family development so the proposed land
use is consistent with the uses anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. The
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 9
May 7, 2015
availability of adequate infrastructure, however, factors into the appropriate timing of
development.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property in the immediate vicinity is mostly
zoned R Rural and largely undeveloped. Across Holleman Drive South from the subject tract
is the Quail Run Subdivision located outside the City limits in the extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Some of the property to the north is developed as warehouse, office, and storage uses. The
proposed zoning would not be a continuation of the general character of the area but of the
general character anticipated as this area develops.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The subject tract
is suitable for multi-family uses. The area is in relative proximity to the Texas A&M University
campus and is close to other existing and planned multi-family developments. Being located
adjacent to the railroad does not make residential development ideal, though this
development pattern has occurred in other areas along the railroad due to the demand for
additional residential units.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The subject
tract is on the northern edge of a large undeveloped area that includes multiple tracts that in
aggregate are approximately 150 acres. While the long-term development trends in this area
will likely stimulate development, the subject tract is currently adjacent to other large
undeveloped tracts and could continue to serve as agriculture uses in the interim.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The subject
tract is largely zoned R Rural which is not very marketable for development purposes but
can be utilized for lesser intense uses. The portion of the tract along the railroad was zoned
for single-family, GS General Suburban, upon annexation as this was the default zoning
district at the time. Single-family uses adjacent to the railroad is not highly marketable.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The majority of the subject tract lies within
City of College Station Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) for water service.
The southern portion of the proposed request is located in Wellborn Special Utility District
(SUD) CCN. Through discussion with Wellborn SUD, they have agreed to consider to allow
the City to serve the entire development. This arrangement would be finalized if the project
were approved and continued forward with development. There is an existing 8-inch
waterline along Holleman Drive South available to serve the tract. Water transmission
mains also exist on the northern and eastern property lines but may not be tapped with site
development based on their size.
Along the east side of the tract there is a 12-inch sanitary sewer main which currently has
capacity to serve the development. This property is located within the Steeplechase-
Wellborn Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area. Detention is required in this area, where
stormwater from the tract generally discharges to the east within the Bee Creek Drainage
Basin. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 5 of 9
May 7, 2015
The subject tract is adjacent to Holleman Drive South which is identified on the
Thoroughfare Plan as a four-lane Major Collector, but is currently constructed as a two-lane
rural section road in this area. A four-lane section exists to the north between North Dowling
Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway South (FM 2818). Funding for the future expansion of
Holleman Drive South has not been identified. A Minor Collector (future General Parkway) is
also identified on the Thoroughfare Plan on the subject tract and this portion would be
constructed with the development. General Parkway would be extended further south with
future development of those tracts until it reaches Cain Road approximately a half mile
away. Additional streets and public ways would be expected as part of subdivision
regulation's block length requirement as tracts in the area develop to help create a local
transportation network to provide alternative routes and distribution of traffic.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was provided with the rezoning application. The proposed
development will generate approximately 2,700 trips per day. The intersection of Holleman
Drive and Harvey Mitchell Parkway South currently has traffic movements experiencing an
unacceptable level of service which will continue to decline as development occurs along
the Holleman Drive South corridor. In the P.M. peak hour, upon completion of the
development, all northbound movements at the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway
South and Holleman Drive South will reach an unacceptable level of service, defined by
delays exceeding 55 seconds per vehicle. During this same time period, southbound traffic
on Holleman Drive West is anticipated to experience an increased delay of 20 seconds per
vehicle.
The intersections of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South with Holleman Drive South and Rock
Prairie Road West with Wellborn Road (FM 2154) provide the main egress points for traffic
coming from this portion of the City and adjacent areas of the County. The Thoroughfare
Plan shows a future railroad crossing at Deacon Drive West, which would provide an
additional future signalized point of egress for developments further south of the tract and
should lessen traffic demand at the Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and Holleman Drive
South intersection. The railroad crossing, however, is not currently funded, though is being
considered as one of the potential projects to be included in the bond election anticipated
later this year. If included and the bond were passed by the voters, the project would be
scheduled for design and construction in future years. In addition, the 2040 Metropolitan
Transportation Plan anticipates improvements and widening of Harvey Mitchell Parkway
South between Raymond Stotzer Parkway (FM 60) and Wellborn Road in 2019, which
should improve the level of service at the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and
Holleman Drive South. These potential improvements, however, are not currently in place to
provide the additional capacity for development of this size and scale. Of note, two
rezonings for multi-family development along Holleman Drive South near Harvey Mitchell
Parkway were approved within the past six months. These rezonings were amendments to
an existing PDD Planned Development District that was approved for multi-family and
commercial uses in 2008. The TIAs submitted with those requests identified significant
transportation improvements and mitigation to be constructed.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and
parking areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also
request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those
variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development.

The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for
reviewing PDD Concept Plans:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony
with the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with
the intent and purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public
street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners
association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not
limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular,
bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to
be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area
considering existing zoning and land uses in the area.
General
The proposed PDD Planned Development District is based on the new MF Multi-Family district
that was adopted in December with some modifications. As shown on the Concept Plan, the
proposed zoning is for a gated multi-family development consisting mostly of single-detached
and duplex units that range between 2 and 5 bedrooms. The proposed minimum density of 8.7
units per acre is a modification request by the applicant to the MF Multi-Family district
requirement of a minimum of 12 units per acre.
The proposed buildings will range from 20 to 40 feet in height. As shown on the Concept Plan,
gated driveways are proposed to Holleman Drive South, the General Parkway extension, and
the proposed Public Way. A 50-foot wide utility corridor is identified along the northern property
boundary for the existing water transmission line and anticipated parallel water transmission
line. Stormwater detention will be provided in the southeast corner of the site near the railroad.
The applicant has requested a provision to hold the effective date of the rezoning ordinance to
be contingent upon the sale of the property from the current owner with the deed being recorded
at the courthouse within the next six months (on or before November 30, 2015). This has come
at the request of the current owner to retain the existing zoning if the closing does not occur.
Meritorious Modifications
The applicant has requested the following meritorious modifications, as identified in italics, with
additional description provided:
• Allow five-bedroom units types to allow up to five unrelated individuals in a dwelling unit.
The development anticipates a mixture of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units and renting the
units by the bedroom. The applicant states allowing 2-5 bedroom units will provide more
leasing options and help keep leases affordable. The applicant is also proposing
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 7 of 9
May 7, 2015
additional parkland dedication fees for the additional bedrooms as described in the
Community Benefits section.
• Reduce the minimum density required for MF Multi-Family districts from 12 units per
acre to 8.7 units per acre. The density reduction is requested to allow the arrangement
of buildings and units to increase open space, common and gathering areas, and allow
more quality of life amenities by providing a more neighborhood style development with
smaller scale buildings.
• Reduce the required throat depth of driveways leading up to a gated entrance to be no
more than 60 feet. The ordinance requires that gated entrances have a minimum throat
depth from the intersecting street in order to allow sufficient room for vehicles to stack
without backing up into the adjacent roadway. The throat depth requirement for gated
areas in which more than 26 units are served is a minimum of 100 feet in depth.
• Allow for block length and block perimeter waivers for the development. The Urban
designation allows a maximum block length of 660 feet and a maximum block perimeter
of 2,000 feet. The Concept Plan proposes a Public Way which would provide an
alternate route between General Parkway and Dowling Road when it would be extended
with the future development of the tract to the north. The dimensions of the subject tract
require additional street connections though the applicant has proposed to gate the
development which eliminates the potential for these additional connections.
Community Benefits
The applicant has identified community benefits, as identified in italics, to offset the proposed
meritorious modifications with additional description provided:
• To enhance traffic flow along Holleman Drive South, a right turn lane will be constructed
for northbound traffic to turn on Dowling Road. This will encourage drivers to use
Dowling Road and then take Jones Butler Road toward campus, thereby bypassing the
intersection of FM 2818 and Holleman Drive South. Utilizing Dowling Road to the east as
an alternate route to Jones Butler Road so as to avoid the intersection of Harvey Mitchell
Parkway South and Holleman Drive South is desirable. It is not known though how
beneficial providing a turn lane will be at encouraging the use of the alternate route.
• Provide a private shuttle service from the development to the TAMU campus in the event
that Texas A&M Transportation Services will not be expanding their bus route. Transit
service should have the effect of decreasing some of the traffic demand. Providing a
requirement for the operation of a private shuttle service within a zoning ordinance could
be problematic to administer and enforce.
• Construct approximately 900 feet of General Parkway as required by City ordinance.
The development was reconfigured to provide a public way from General Parkway to the
northwest property line. Two of the entrances into these gated areas have been moved
onto this public way. The requirement to construct General Parkway and additional
street connections is required by application of the standard ordinance.
• Provide additional parkland funds for additional community enhancement of park
facilities as warranted. This extra parkland fees amount will be based upon the number
of"extra"bedrooms added to the project by the 5-bedroom units. The difference in units
lost by having 5 bedroom units instead of 4 bedroom units would be paid. Based on the
current design of having 51 5-bedroom units (12.75 less units), additional parkland fees
in the amount of$20,859 would be provided. This fee arrangement will help offset
additional density allowed by the 5-bedroom units. The Parks & Recreation Advisory
Board will provide a recommendation regarding the allowance to require additional fees
at their May 12th meeting.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the request due to concerns of the existing transportation network
being able to handle the additional traffic demands created by the development.
