Honorable School Board
College Station Independent School District
As you know, a rezoning request is being considered Thursday, February 24, 1983
by the College Station City Council for the 8.3 acre tract at the southeast corner
of Welsh at F.M.28l8,directly across the West Bypass-from the high school. The
request from the Area Progress Corporation is to rezone the tract from Single
Family Residential District R-l to General Commercial District C-I. The Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request bya 4-3 vote. The
planning staff is reco~mendingdenial.
The existing Comprehensive Plan shows the area as low density residential. The
new proposed Plan, which should be ad'opted this spring, des>ignates the tract as
medium density residential~ This would allow apartment zoning up to 24 dwelling
units per acre. Commercial zoning would not comply, except for C-N, Neighborhood
Commercial. In this type of commercial district, the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission approves the site plan and the specific use of the tract. The maximum
5 i ze ofaC-Nt ract, however ,iS2acres . ~The pl ann 1 ng staffwou 1 d a 1 so recommend
denial of any use of a C-N zoned tract at this location that would,in our opinion,
generate a considerable tract volume or create a distraction to the high school.
The plans of the Highway Department are to widen F.M.28l8 to at least 4 lanes at
some point-in time. Whether or not. a traffic signal at that intersection is installed,
pedestrian movement across the bypass would be extremely hazardous. This is the
primary rea-son-forthe plannlngstaff's reco~endations.
I am enclosing a location map to show you the exact tract in quest'ion, along with
the other areas I have referred to. I have a 1 so incl uded a" copy from
'Ordlnancethe section describing the C-lzone and the permitted uses.
