Gibson, President Wilshire Homeowners' Association 1315 Wilshire Court College Station, Texas 78845 RE: Rezoning Request for property at comer of Rock Prairie Road and Stonebrook Drive Dear Mr. Gibson: Staff will place your request on one of the May City Council Agenda's for consideration and direction. This will give the staff an opportunity to contact the affected property owners asking them to initiate the rezoning process, and request AP zoning in conformance with the land use plan approved in the East Bypass Plan in late 2000. As staff mentioned when we met with you on March 12,2002, we will contact the owner of the 1.41 acres immediately adjacent to your subdivision. In addition we will contact the owner of the property-across the street that is being developed for a medical office, as well as the owner of the small section of the Uvacek property adjacent to you that is currently zoned AO. It is the City's preference that property owners initiate zone changes on their own property. However, if the owners are not interested in rezoning to AP, we will bring your request before the City Council in May. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I can be reached at 764-3510, or Kelly Templin, Development Services Director can be reached at 764-3570. Sincerely, ~~ Glenn D. Brown Assistant City Manager cc: Thomas E.

IU:' Dear Elected Officials: The Wilshire Court HOA voted at its January 2002 annual meeting to request that the City initiate rezoning of Lot H Section 7. At present the property is zoned C-3 and is 1.41 acres in size with frontage on Rock Prairie Rd. and Stonebrook Dr. This property is triangular in shape and the rear of the property is adjacent to Wilshire HOA fully developed single family patio homes which are separated from the C-3 by a wooden fence. Three homes, which are adjacent to this property, are currently for sale. We are requesting that the city initiate zoning the property to a less intense use that will not allow for high traffic or high noisepusinesses and that will not have nightime traffic or major lighting that woUld negatively impact the single family homes that are adjacent to the property. We believe that the new section of Rock Prairie Road will increase the use of the Stonebrook entrance to the W oodcreek subdivision. Maintain in g the quality . of life for the entire subdivision, as well as insuring an attractive Gateway to our community is in the best interest of all our citizens. Our neighbors on Stonebridge Court have the identical problem with the property on the comer of Stone brook and'Rock Prairie Road that is adjacent to them also C-3. It is 1.0 acre and referred to as section G. They do not currently have a HOA, however we believe they will be supportive of this request. There are currently 4 homes backing up to this commercial property for sale. Thank you on behalf of the residents of the Wilshire HOA for yoUr attention to our request. ~ ,~urs trulY,~~(' ./c-~ <.-/ Phillip M.

In a previous letter from the City of College Station to the adjacent property owners, Assistant City Manager Glenn Brown outlined the Wilshire Village residents' desire to have the adjacent properties rezoned to Administrative Professional CAP). Currently there is no consensus on the part of the adjacent property owners that this action would be advantageous to them. This was reported to the City Council and, after some discussion, they proposed a meeting of the parties. Staff believes that a meeting would allow the you the chance to express the Wilshire residents' concerns for the future development of the adjacent properties while affording the property owners the chance to explain their intentions. This forum might result in some compromise, or, at the very least, a better understanding of the homeowners' concerns. I will be contacting you soon to discuss your availability to attend this meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 979/764-3570 or ktemplin@ci.college-station.tx.us. Thank you, in advance, for your willingness to attend this meeting. Sincerely, Kelly E.

I believe the best way to begin addressing this would be a meeting between the officers of your homeowner's association and city staff In the meeting from staff would be a member of development services, one of our attorneys, and myself. The purpose of the meeting is to ensure we are referring to the same two lots. Also it would provide the opportunity to discuss under what conditions a city initiated rezoning could take place, and the process that would be involved. If this approach would be acceptable, please give me three or four meeting times over the next week or so that you and the other officers would be available. Sincerely, _.~~ Glenn D.

Their request also involved two adjacent properties. The current zoning on your property is "Agricultural Open" ( AO), however a request could be made in the future to rezone the property for commercial uses other than office/professional. The concern is those uses might be incompatible with adjacent residential areas. The AP zone is the most appropriate zone for such office and professional development. For reasons described in this letter, the City of College Station believes rezoning of your property from AO to AP would be advantageous to both you, and the City of College Station, as well as the adjacent property owners. The first reason relates to the land use plan for this section of College Station as designated in the East Bypass Small Area Plan, adopted by the City Council in late 2000. This plan recommended your property be zoned for neighborhood retail. This is a less intensive zone than general commercial. Further, rezoning your property to AP at this time may be advantageous to you should you decide to develop your property in the future. Typically, the process of commercial development next to a residential area is a very tedious process for all involved. However, rezoning your property to AP should preclude any potential adjacency issues with your residential neighbors, thus, helping to ensure an amenable development process. Enclosed is list of permitted uses for AP zone. Although a request has been made to the City that your property be rezoned to AP, the City prefers that any request for rezoning be initiated by the property owner. We realize this would be contingent upon your concurrence that the change in zoning would be advantageous to you. As an additional .. J be advantageous to T AC. As an additional incentive the City is willing to waive the fees associated with rezoning; if your request is made before August 1. 2002. Again, the purpose of this letter is to request that you initiate rezoning of your property from C-3 to AP, which would permit office/professional type development. I realize it is quite possible you will have questions regarding this letter. Please contact me and I will set up a meeting for you with Development Services Staff and myself to further discuss this matter. I can be reached at 764-3510 or gbrO\w<Q1ci.college-station.tx.us.

Their request also involved two adjacent properties. The current zoning on your property is "Commercial Business" (C-3).
