ADJACENT LAND USES Direction Comprehensive Plan Zoning Land Use North Urban —Growth Area 5 R Rural Vacant, single-family, commercial businesses South General Suburban — GS General Suburban; Single-family and Growth Area 5 T Townhome; townhouse subdivisions; R Rural Vacant East (across Suburban Commercial; GC General Commercial; Vacant; Wellborn Rd) Urban; Neighborhood R-4 Multi-Family; Multi-family; Conservation GS General Suburban Single-family West (across Restricted Suburban — RS Restricted Suburban Planned single-family Holleman Dr S) Growth Area 5 subdivision DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: 2002 Zoning: A-O Agricultural Open upon annexation (2002); A-O Agricultural Open to PDD Planned Development District (2011); PDD Planned Development District to PDD Planned Development District (2012, 2013, & 2014 to revise the Concept Plan and add to the development). Final Plat: The areas within the proposed rezoning have not been platted. Site development: Large portion of The Barracks II project have developed into single-family and townhouse uses with a commercial amusement/amenity area under construction. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan; 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood; 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment; 0 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; 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; and 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use. The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject area as Urban and General Suburban on the Future Land Use and Character Map and in Growth Area 5 on the Concept Map. The Comprehensive Plan states that the area near and north of Cain Road is Urban and should be used for intense land use activities including general commercial, office uses, townhomes, high- density apartments, and vertical mixed use. The areas further south of Cain Road to Rock Prairie Road West should be used for General Suburban activities including high-density single- family lots (minimum 5,000 square feet), townhomes, duplexes, as well as suburban or neighborhood commercial and office uses. The area within the existing and proposed PDD Planned Development District allow for a mixture of single-family residences, townhouses, multi-family, and commercial development. Residential uses are capped at a gross density of 8 units per acre, which is the maximum allowable density of the other single-family and townhouse developments in the area, namely The Barracks, a townhome development, Williamsgate and Buena Vida, single-family subdivisions, and the planned 12 at Rock Prairie subdivision consisting of single-family and townhouse lots. The proposed PDD Planned Development District revises the Concept Plan and associated uses to remove commercial and multi-family areas and provide more townhouse lots. Except for the recreation facilities in the center of the development, commercial uses are located on the western edge along Holleman Drive South, a future four-lane major collector, and on the eastern edge of the development along Old Wellborn Road. Additional details regarding the commercial and recreational uses are described as part of the Concept Plan. The subject property is located within Wellborn Special Utility District water service area, the City's sanitary sewer service area, and Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU) electric service area. The property is located in the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area that gravity flows into the Bee Creek Trunk Line, which serves many developments along Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The subject property is in the Bee Creek Tributary "B" drainage basin. The subject property is not located within a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 182C. Future development of the tract will have to meet the requirements of the City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The subject property is located adjacent to Old Wellborn Road (local) to the east and Holleman Drive South (four-lane major collector) to the west. Three future thoroughfares bi-sect the development: Deacon Drive West (two-lane major collector), General Parkway (two-lane minor collector) and Towers Parkway (two-lane minor collector). These thoroughfares have been constructed as the development has built-out. A left-turn lane from Holleman Drive South will be installed when the unnamed, ABCD, street is constructed. 0 REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed zoning district: "The Barracks II Subdivision was previously granted PDD Zoning to develop a residential community for students in the 18-30 year age range. The planned development includes a mixture of housing options, recreation facilities and commercial businesses that cater to the student population. The intent has not changed. The rezoning request adds additional land and uses to the Barracks ll Development and PDD Zoning." The proposed rezoning revises four separate areas at the corners of the development that can be summarized as: Zoning Area 1 —4.911 acres at southeast corner The existing Concept Plan designates this area as Commercial Tract 3 which has modified C-3 Light Commercial uses and standards as described in the attached Concept Plan notes. The proposed Concept Plan retains about one-third of the area as Commercial Tract 3 and converts the remaining two-thirds to a street for townhouse lots. Zoning Area 2 — 12.939 acres at northeast corner The existing Concept Plan designates this area as two water detention ponds, Commercial Tract 2 with modified SC Suburban Commercial uses and standards, and Commercial Tract 4 with modified GC General Commercial uses and standards. The proposed Concept Plan reconfigures the two water detention areas, removes the two commercial tract areas, and replaces them with two residential streets for townhouse lots. Zoning Area 3 — 8.651 acres at northwest corner The existing Concept Plan designates this area with townhouse lots, parkland, two multi-family tracts, and one tract for multi-family and/or general commercial use. The proposed Concept Plan removes one of the multi-family tracts and reconfigures the residential streets to add more townhouse lots. The uses and standards of Commercial Tract 1A are being revised from a modified GC General Commercial uses and standards to the modified SC Suburban Commercial uses and standards of the adjacent Commercial Tract 1. Zoning Area 4 — 3.508 acres at southwest corner The existing Concept Plan designates this area with single-family detached houses. The proposed Concept Plan converts these to townhouse lots. Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications The applicant proposes to utilize the following base zoning districts: T Townhouse for all townhouse lots, R-4 Multi-Family for Multi-Family Tracts 1 & 2, SC Suburban Commercial for Commercial Tract 1A, and C-3 Light Commercial for Commercial Tract 3. The existing PDD zoning approved meritorious modifications that will carry over with this PDD rezoning and are described in the attached Concept Plan notes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval the rezoning request. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application 2. Rezoning Map 3. Proposed Concept Plan 4. Existing Concept Plan
