Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The applicant requested a Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the Future Land Use and Character Map from Restricted Suburban to Suburban Commercial which was approved by City Council on August 25th 2014. Suburban Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be small in size and located adjacent to major roads (arterials and collectors). Design of these structures is compatible in size, roof type and pitch, architecture, and lot coverage with the surrounding single-family residential use. The applicant intends to develop a commercial convenience store with is consistent with this change. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed rezoning of SC Suburban Commercial allows for low-density commercial uses with a design that is compatible with the Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 6 November 6, 2014 character of suburban single-family neighborhoods. Buildings have a more residential character and scale, and sites are heavily landscaped to minimize the impacts of non- residential uses and associated parking areas on adjacent residential zoning districts. It allows for a range of uses, with the impacts mitigated through buffering and architecture of the buildings. Properties located to the east across Holleman Drive South are designated as Urban on the Future Land Use and Character Map and developed as a manufactured home park in the ETJ. The City does not have zoning or land use control in the ETJ. Adjacent to the west is the Jackson Hole Driving Range — developed as a permitted use in the R Rural zoning district, leaving just a little over 300 feet along Rock Prairie Road West for future development. To the north, across Rock Prairie Road West, a Preliminary Plan was recently approved for Mission Ranch, a Restricted Suburban single-family subdivision. 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 property is the remaining undeveloped portion of Jackson Hole Estates. With just over 300 feet of frontage along Rock Prairie Road West, SC Suburban Commercial will allow for more appropriate development between the commercial use (driving range) and a major intersection. The applicant would like to develop a commercial convenience store. This type of development is a compatible fit for transitional uses between the surrounding existing developments (i.e. driving range and manufactured home community). 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 property is currently zoned R Rural which it received upon annexation. The neighboring driving range did not need to be rezoned because the use is permitted under the zoning. The property is seeking SC Suburban Commercial in order to provide commercial activity on the corner that will serve the neighboring residential uses. Existing land features help to provide a desirable Suburban Commercial Development. These desirable conditions are as follows: (1) the existing creek traverses the property and is parallel to Holleman Drive South. This natural feature will provide approximately a 120-foot wide buffer with the manufactured home community located across Holleman Drive South. (2) US Army Corps of Engineers restrictions will minimize disturbance to the existing tributary. (3) These natural features will minimize the intensity of the Suburban Commercial development. (4) The "light" commercial uses (i.e. Jackson Hole Driving Range & the proposed development) will provide reasonable transitional uses to the residential uses in the surrounding area. 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: Holleman Drive South and Rock Prairie Road West are currently built to a 2-lane rural section. Holleman Drive South is designated a 4-lane major collector and Rock Prairie Road West is designated a 2-lane major collector on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. Bordered by these streets and a commercial use, it will be difficult to market the subject property for a use permitted under its current zoning of R Rural. Planning &Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6 November 6, 2014 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by the Wellborn Special Utilities District via existing 12-inch water lines located along Rock Prairie Road West and Holleman Drive South. A fire flow analysis meeting the minimum requirements of the BCS Unified Design Guidelines will need to be submitted and approved prior to a final plat being forwarded to the Planning & Zoning Commission. There are currently no existing sanitary sewer mains available to serve this property, so an On-Site Sewage Facility (septic system) will be required to sewer the lot. The septic system must be installed and maintained in accordance with Brazos County Health Department regulations. Drainage is generally to the south within the Hope's Creek Drainage Basin. There is no FEMA regulated floodplain identified on the tract. The development will be required to comply with the City's drainage ordinance. Staff estimates the current traffic on Holleman Drive South to be approximately 5,300 VPD. Holleman Drive South has a capacity of 10,000 VPD in its current configuration. Based on the trips generated by the site, no further traffic impact analysis would be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application 2.
