University Drive's f unction as a major gateway to College Station and Texas ABM University
will increase in importance in the future particularly with the relocation of the State Headquar-
tersfor the Texas ABM Universit~r Sys em The Planning 8~ Zoning Commission dub-committee
focused on this whip reviewing he findin s in the 19$5 Universit Drive Stud , .and. while
g Y Y
analyzing current conditions in the stud area and lookin at Chan es since 1985.. The
Y g g Y
determined that the assumptions and recommendations of thz original 1985 study. are still
generally valid today. The C-1 zonings done since the .study did not corn 1 with. the 1985
pY
findings nor he Comprehensive Plan and Policies in existence at the time. The current
Comprehensive Plan and Polices ex Tess the same hloso h relative to commercial land uses
p p pY
as the Plan did in 1985.. Therefore, the changes to C-1 zoning that occurred along the south side
of University ince 1985 do not invalidate the on 'nal recommendations in the 195 stud .

Essentially there have been no changes in zoning,land`use or other f actors to warrant si nif icant
g
changes in the original recommendations.
The Sub-committee offers the followin conclusions and recommendations based on their
g_
study;
1. The existing land ..uses reflected. on the Land Use Plan on the north side of Universi from
~'
Tarrow east to Spring Loop are sti l appropriate. These consist of commercial and office uses
and medium density residential uses.
RECOMMENDATION:
As in the original study, limit areas reflected on the Land Use Plan for multi-famil uses to
