STAFF COMMENTS / RECOMMENDATIONS
This request would result in the continuation oUhe. apartment pattern that exists in this area. The
low density residential Land Use Plan designation that exists on the back portion of the property
is not likely to occur considering the configuration of property in the area and the fact that there is
a common property line between this area and the A&M Consolidated bus parking lot.
Due to the fact that the rezoning is in compliance with the Land Use Plan and is not in conflict
with surrounding uses, staff recommends approval of this request.
