REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as
Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The
proposed rezoning is consistent with this designation in addition to the land use
designations surrounding the subject tract which include Business Park and Suburban
Commercial
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 BPI Business Park Industrial which is intended to generate lower
traffic counts and be located in an area designated as Business Park in the Comprehensive
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4 of 5

Plan. Adjacent properties to the north, west, and south are designated as Business Park in
the Comprehensive Plan. The adjacent properties which have developed to the east
contain retail sales and service, warehousing, and fabrication uses, which are compatible
with the BPI Business Park Industrial designation.
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 proposed
rezoning for uses permitted by the district is appropriate for this area due to its location and
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
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 current
PDD zoning of the property allows Research and Development uses that are similar to the
permitted uses allowed in BPI Business Park Industrial; however the applicant has stated
the PDD concept plan does not allow flexibility in the location and amount of these permitted
uses, which would be allowed bythe BPI zoning district. The PDD was created in 2011,
since that time the BPI zoning district was created for business park designations in
September 2012.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendmentfor uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
applicant has stated the property has been difficult to market with the present PDD zoning.
It does not allow flexibility in the amount and location of the permitted uses. The applicant
feels the permitted uses allowed under the proposed zoning would be in demand and
marketable in the City of College Station.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn
Special Utility District. Sanitary sewer lines will need to be extended with site development
to tie into an existing 12-inch wastewater main along Rock Prairie Road West. There is
adequate sanitary sewer capacity in the downstream system to accommodate the proposed
zoning. Drainage is generally to the southwest within the Hopes Creek Drainage Basin.
Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed
and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. North Graham
Road is classified as a two-lane major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan, though it is
currently constructed to a rural roadway section.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning based on its compatibility with the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
