Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The townhouse use is suitable for this property as long as driveways are to the rear and not to FM2818. This design element is what is intended for this project. The sewer line is intended to be extended on Harvey Mitchell Parkway with this development to property provide service to the rezoned lot at the time of platting. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. The current zoning district is R&D-Research and Development. The property may be suitable for R&D but it is not what is intended on the Land Use Plan for this property. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Townhouses(individually sold lots and structures)are highly desirable in the College Station market place. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. Having townhouses that face FM2818(design similar to Broadstone Ranch and River Oaks on Holleman) will help beautify this roadway corridor. It will provide a nice break to other developments which will occur with parking along FM2818.

ADJACENT LAND USES Direction Comprehensive Plan Zoning Land Use North (across General Commercial GS General Suburban Vacant Harvey Mitchell Parkway South) South Urban GC General Vacant Commercial and Overlay, P-MUD Planned Mixed-Use District East Urban P-MUD Planned Vacant Mixed-Use District West Urban GC General Vacant Commercial and Overlay DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: February 1971 Zoning: R-1 Single Family Residential (upon annexation) R&D Research & Development in September 1998 Final Plat: Unplatted Site development: Vacant Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 6 November 6, 2014 REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcel is shown on the Comprehensive Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban. Urban 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. The subject parcel is located in the Harvey Mitchell District. This area includes a large floodplain and significant road frontage along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and Texas Avenue. The focus of the district plan should be the development of an urban area that incorporates the significant natural features of the area and that incorporates design elements that positively contribute to two significant entries the City. The Harvey Mitchell District has not been completed but as part of the Comprehensive Plan Five-Year Evaluation & Appraisal Report it was identified as the next area to be studied. T Townhouse zoning is appropriate for this land use designation. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The area is largely vacant and has current land uses that are in transition to single family homes. 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: T Townhouse is suitable for this property though driveway access will not be allowed to Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. This design is what is anticipated for this project. 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: R&D Research & Development is a retired district and was intended for administrative and professional offices, and research and development oriented light industrial uses. R&D Research and Development is not what is intended for the area on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. 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 application states that T Townhouses are highly desirable in the College Station marketplace as they are individually sold lots and structures. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract has a 24-inch water line along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South. Future development of the tract will have to meet the City's minimum fire flow requirements. The subject tract currently has no sewer access, and will need to extend the 8-inch sewer line on Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, or 18-inch on State Highway 6 with this development. The subject tract is not located within a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 310F. Drainage will be reviewed in accordance with the City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards. The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Harvey Mitchell Parkway South as a six-lane Major Arterial and is currently constructed as four-lanes with a center turn lane. The amount Planning &Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6 November 6, 2014 of traffic produced by this development is minimal and should not have a detrimental impact on surrounding roadways.
