PLANNING
1. Revise note #2 and the label on the building. Zoning for the property is now C-1.
2. Revise note #3 as it references Valley Park.
3. The labeled building square footage differs between what is shown on the building and what
is stated in the parking analysis. Please reconcile.
4. Island C is labeled as increasing in size, but it is not shown on the plan as changing.
5. Island F square footage differs from what is on the drawing and what is in the table.
6. Proposed/existing islands W and V will not count towards the parking island requirement as
they are not part of or adjacent to any parking.
7. By my count there are only 185 parking spaces being provided.
8. "Islands" Y, Z, AA, AB do not count toward meeting any island requirements as they are not
considered islands.
9. Provide a note stating that the amount of intense use allowed on the site (25% of total sf of
shopping center).
10. Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City
of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your
plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not be made of aware of will
constitute a completely new review.
