Provide improved mobility though a safe, efficient, and well-connected multi -modal transportation system designed to be sensitive to the surrounding land uses: o The proposed General Commercial land use and the existing Institutional/Public land uses generate different trip rates and so must be evaluated against the capacity of the current transportation network. The current land use designation is Institutional/Public and generates approximately 749 vehicles per day (VPD). The proposed General Commercial land use designation may generate approximately 2,200 VPD, a net increase of 1,451 VPD. TxDOT's 2009 traffic counts along University Drive East in this area are 34,000 VPD and the City's travel demand model projected to 2011 indicates a volume of 42,000 VPD. In this area, University Drive East has a capacity of 60,000 VPD with a Level of Service (LOS) "Do being at 50,000 VPD. University Drive East's capacity is sufficient; however, changes will have to be made to the traffic signal timing along this corridor. 5. Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans: The proposed General Commercial designation is for an intense level of development activity and consists of uses permitted in the General Commercial zoning district. The applicant states as a justification for the request that the Scott & White clinic will relocate to the new hospital in the Medical District, leaving this property with an office land use that will no longer be marketable. Adjacent property, across Glenhaven Drive, owned by the same party is currently zoned General Commercial though also designated Institutional/Public on the Comprehensive Plan. A Suburban Commercial land use and character desgination is intended for properties that are commercially marketable, but adjacent to single-family uses. This designation was created with the intent of being sensitive to residential areas by considering the relationship of the two land uses. Two examples of this type of land use designation buffering neighborhoods from high -classification roadways are Edelweiss Gardens, located along Rock Prairie Road, and the Raintree subdivision, located off of State Highway 6. The Thoroughfare Plan designations for University Drive and Glenhaven Drive need not change in context or classification due to the proposed land use. University Drive East's capacity is sufficient; however, changes will have to be made to the traffic signal timing along this corridor.

Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in the Plan's vision and goals: The goal for College Station's Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. Additionally, the Economic Development goal for College Station is to provide a diversified economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the sales and property tax base; and contributing to a high quality of life. This request recognizes and promotes economic opportunity and the property is located adjacent to an existing single-family neighborhood.
