AGENDA ITEM NO. 2:Pub1ic hearing to consider a Oty-initiated rezoning of the 200 acre
College Station Business Park located on the east side of State Highway 6, approximately 2400
feet south of the intersection of Greens Prairie Road and State Highway 6, from A-a
Agriculture Open to M-l Planned Industrial (92-105)
Senior Planner Kee .presented the staff report and recommended approval of the proposed
rezoning. The thoroughfare plan shows Spearman as .aminor arterial and another. minor
arterial is shown generally through the most southern portion of the property. A recent Traffic
Impact. Analysis of.the Pebble Creek Subdivision indicated that".a more. appropriate location for
an east/west minor arterial would be further. to the south. .. Staff agrees that an alignment
intersecting . with either Nantucket Drive or . Snug ,Drive . would be. a better. spacing. This
initiated rezoning will enable business~sinterested in locating in the City's Business Park to do
so without having to go through a two month rezoning process. The M-l . Planned. Industrial
district is designed for light manuf~cturing, non~pollutingindustries. Plant exteriors and
construction materials, site design and . layout, facades, lighting and apparent architectural
aspects are subject to r~view by the r~ojectReview Committe.e. Depending on the character of
a specific project this district is designecltobe compatible with adjacent land uses. The other
available industrial district is des~gnecl for activities which generatenuisanc~ characteristics and
are notcomp~tible wi~hr~sideIltial~rlo,wer intensitycomIIl~rciaLland uses. As properties
develop' in .the business park, it max b:ecome. .necessary to>comenack and utilize additional
zoning districts, but as a general application, M-l is best suited based on what we know at this
time.
Vice Chairperson Colson opened the public hearing. Seeing n,o one present to speak in favor
of or in opposition to the' proposed rezoning, he closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Hawthorne expressed concern of Spearman Drive being the major ingress and
egress to Pebble Creek and possible truck traffic from the Business Park.
Assistant to the' City.Engineer..Morgan stated that she .does not think that the increased traffic
has been addressed; however, the developers of Pebble Creek are very aware of the proposed
industrial zoning.
Commissioner . Hawthorne moved to recommend approval of the proposed .rezoning request of
the 200 acre College Station Business Park fromA-O Agriculture Open to' M-l Planned
Industrial. Commissioner Mariott seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0)..
