HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutesP&Z Minutes l,-2"n-83; page 2 after locating his land on a map, it was determined that medium density apartments zoning was being requested adjacent to his land. He said that he thinks he is still against .this rezoning request. No one else spoke, so public hearing was closed. Mr. Fleming asked Mr. White why he would be against this request and Mr. White said .that he preferred in to stay Agricul° ture Open Space because of the proximity of any development to his home, and the possible danger of heavier traffic to his children. Mr. Hall asked if screening would be required between R-S and R-2 zoning and was informed by Mr. Mayo that this would not be necessary, but the P&Z could request it if desired. Mr. Fitch said that a fence has already been built on one section. Mr. Miller asked if Mr. Callaway knew of any sewer problems which would arise as a result of this rezoning and Mr. Callaway reiter- ated that the consultants have indicated they see no problem. Mr. Hill made a motion to recommend approval with Mr. Bailey seconding. Motion to approved carried unanimously C7-o)• AGENDA LTEM N0. 4: 83-101:, A public hearing on the question of rezoning Tracts A, D ~ E Southwood Valley Section 30 from Single family Residential District R-1 to Apartments Medium Density District R-5 and General Commercial Di.strict C-l '. Application is in the name of Area Progress. Corporation. Mr. Callaway located the tracts on a map, explained the size of each and pointed out zoning of neighboring properties. He said the City's consultants had informed him that the water and'sewer capacity for the proposed zoning was generally acceptable; then he dis- cussed the current comprehensive plan and the preliminary plan recommendations for this area and informed the Commission that staff is able to support the request, for rezoning tracts D ~ E to R-5, but cannot support the request to rezone tract A to C,-1 for several reasons which include the fact that this zoning is not on either of the plans, it is adjacent to a park, (although the Paris Depart7ent has indicated. this will not adver~~ely affect th~a location of a park) buf ;~ri,-Warily because of its location right across the major thoroughfare from the high schoo 1. He reported t~r~ Trai-~ic Engineer has predicted a tr:3~fic signal will be established at this intersection sometime later in 1883. Mr. Bailey. asked about the policy of having access roads along F.M.2818 and Mr'. Mayo said there is nothing in the .plans for''this, and although these access roads do help to move traffic, they also cause the development of dangerous intersections. Mr. Kelly asked about the 300 ft. right-of-way, and Mr. Mayo said that this-would someday be widened. Mr. Miller asked about sewer capacity and Mr. Pulfien said any limiting factors would be caused by infiltration, and that in the next 5 years a funding project fora relief sewer system is planned which would provide more capacity to this area. He said that if there was a project proposed for an additional 400 units, then this would have to be studied thoroughly, and a limit of 'density might have to be imposed, and each project will be studied on an individual basis. Mr.:Hall asked. if staff would consider this same argument if A-P zoning had been requested,. and Mr. Callaway said that A-P is not on any plan either, but an A-P development. probably would not attract pedestrian traffic cross- ing the street as this proposed commercial development most likely will. Public hearing was opened and Bill Fitch came forward and said he is surprised that staff cannot support the C-l request, then asked Mr. Pullen about the. proposed sewer project he mentioned earlier. Mr. Pullen explained that presently there appears to be adequate sewer capacity for current zoning in the area and the .development which is there, but further high density development upstream could cause a problem and a relief sewer pro- ject is being planned for the future. Mr. Fitch then went to maps and pointed out sewer lines and development in the area. He said the number of residents in thee... already developed area warrants a convenience store.. Mr. Ha1T said that he believes a commercial development would serve the residents well, but questioned the advisabilifi'y of the loca- Lion right across this busy street from the high school. Mr. Mayo said he believes a P&Z Minutes 1-20-83 Page 3e better plan would be a C-N tract at Deacon and 4Jelsh. Mr. Miller asked Mr. Fitch if he could think of another location for a convenience store. Mr. Hill reminded Mr. Fitch of how protective he had been of his land when the question of the location of a power. sta tion had come up, and Mr. (itch said that he had tried at that time to avoid having 2 power transmission lines going through a residential area. Mr. Mayo again pointed out that a more convenient ahd'safer place fora convenience store would be at Welsh and Deacon Streets. He also referred to_some commercial zoning south of the residential development which would be .convenient. Mr. Hall pointed out that C-l zoning could not only have a convenience store, but also a fast food restaurant, the location of which across from a high school could create a safety hazard. Dr. Nye of the College Station Independent School District came forward to answer any questions, but stated that he was not here as a representative of the administration to either support or oppose this proposed commercial rezoning. Mr. Mayo asked him if he is aware of the projects which could go into C-1 zoning, and Dr. Nye answered in the af- firmative. Mr. Kelly asked how many children leave the school during the lunch hour, and Dr. Nye said the high school would have a closed campus after the new construction is complete, and projected either next fall or January 1984 as the latest date for comple- tion.. Mr. Fleming asked what the school's position had been on previous rezoning re- quesfs, and Dr. Nye said that traffic. density as it related to bus transportation had been the concern; but the. school. had neither strongly opposed nor favored those requests in the past. He further said that students would be transported because of the uncon- trolled'intersection, and the school sees almost no more impact than it would have any- way. Public hearing was closed. Mr. Kelly asked staff if it, would have problems with any type of commercial zoning, and Mr. Mayo said only A-P might be acceptable due to safety, but that even A-P is not in any comprehensive plan. Mr. Hill pointed out that just recently C-1 and C-N requests were turned down on University Drive due to the possibility of a traffic safety hazard, and this had not yet been mentioned tonight. Mr. Mayo said that C-1 zoning not only creates pedestrian traffic, but vehicular traffic as well, which is also a major concern at this location. Commissioners asked about a projected date for the widening, of F.M.2818 and Counci}man Jones said he would estimate that it would, take place in 2 years time. Mr. Miller asked if there would be a turn lane after it is widened, and Mr. Jones said the Gity has requested it. Mr. Miller said he believes the concerns of the staff are valid, and further believes that the location of the park, churches in the area and residences should be considered. He further added that he has no problem with the request for rezoning the two tracts to R-5. He then (Mr. Miller) made a motion to ap- prove the rezoning requests of Tracts D & E from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-5 Apartments Medium Density. Mr, Fleming seconded; motion carried 6-1 with Mr. Kelly opposing. Mr. Bailey made a motion to recommend rezoning of Tract A from Single Family Residential District R-l to General Commercial District C-1. Mr. Hall seconded. Mr. Kelly asked about C-2 zoning,. and Mr. Mayo.-explained what could be developed in C-2 zoning. Mr. Hill asked about size restrictions and was told. there is none, but that C-3 zoning has restrictions concerning size. Mr. Behling discussed the problems presented and gave his opinion, which is that he is .generally for this request. Mr. Hill said he totally dis- agrees due to the proximity to the park, pointing out the possibility of excessive trash accumulating in the park, and further believes that the proximity to the only high school in College Station should be considered: Mr. Hall said that esthetically a C-1 develop- ment can be done as well as an R-5 development, and further believes that the traffic problems explained will be solved in the near future. Vote was .taken with motion carrying 4-3• Mr. Fleming, Mr. Hill & Mr. Miller voted in opposition. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1983 Bill .Fitch, applicant, stated that he was available for questions. When no one else spoke, the public hearing. was closed.

He stated that C-1 zoning is requested on Tract A, an 8.36 acre tract located on the southeast" corner of FM 2818 and Welch. Blvd.- A portion of this. tract is included in the 100 year flood elevation. R-5 zoning is requested for. tracts D & E, located at southwest of FM 2818 and Welch Blvd. Tract D is approximately 3.26 acres and Tract E is approximately 5.03 acres. Although Tract A is located at the intersection of two major streets, the staff cannot support this request because it does not comply with the current or proposed comprehensive plan, the tract abuts a city park, and its location across a major-.thoroughfare from the high school could cause traffic and pedestrian problems. Tracts D & E are recommended for approval for R-5, zoning. Mayor Halter pointed out that the R-1 land across from Tract A belongs to the High School. Councilman Runnels indicated that there is a need for commercial business in that area. Mayor Halter opened the public hearing and asked to hear-from those in favor of the rezoning.

Councilman Runnels asked if there would be a median or left turn lane. Director of Capital Improvements Ash indicated that probably there will be a continuous left turn lane except at some of the major intersections. Councilman Runnels asked what combinations of zoning for this land would guarantee control of the uses.. City Planner Mayo replied that C-N zoning is the only commercial zoning in which'`the city can control land use. Mr. Fitch's problem is that the size of the tract is too large for C-N zoning.

'The ite has a form of commercial usage in the designation of the zoning that it presently enjoys.

In determining the economics of the acquisition and the development of a parcel of tand several considerationswere made such as city. policies, traffic, visibility, needs of'the community and an impact on the surrounding land areas. The staff'provided a report that supports the development of the site as it relates to the comprehensive plan.. The;posture of the city is that major intersections historically are the logical sites for commercial locations: -Additionally, the developers have cooperated with staff in locating ingress and egress poin#s. Points have been established on FM 2818 in excess of what the-present ordinance allows. Mr. McDowelf made further comments.
