REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated
as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map. The proposed rezoning is consistent with this designation.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed rezoning will allow for
the development permitted in SC Suburban Commercial which is intended to
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 7
May 16, 2013
generate lower traffic counts and be more compatible with the adjacent single-family
uses than other commercial zoning districts.
Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by
the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The
proposed rezoning is appropriate for this area due to its location on Barron Road
and Victoria Avenue, as well as its proximity to single-family land uses and College
Station High School. This zoning will allow for neighborhood -scale uses to serve the
area.
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:
In 1995, the property was annexed and zoned A-O Agricultural Open, and there was
little development in the area. Since that time, the current zoning is not suitable for
tract as the surrounding area has developed into single-family subdivisions and
College Station High School.
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 current zoning is not marketable as A-O Agricultural Open as the lot size is non-
conforming for uses in this zoning designation.
Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 18-
inch and 12-inch water mains available to serve this property. There is also an
existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main available to provide service to the property. The
site generally drains to the east within the Spring Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage
and other site infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Access to the
site will be available via Victoria Avenue and Barron Road. Existing infrastructure
appears to be adequate for the proposed use.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning based on its compatibility with the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
