This site is located in the southwestern corner of the Edelweiss/Rock Prairie Estates subdivision, the Master Plan for which was approved by Council in 1992. The Plan included a revision to the Future Land Use Plan to include this area, which had been annexed into the City a few months prior to the Master Plan submittal. That Plan showed. single family located in the center of the subdivision with a step-down approach coupled with 'landscape easement to assure buffering. Commercial zoning is limited'to intersections-including the subject tract. The C-2 was considered compatible with the M-1 to the south and the limited commercial to the north. The requested rezoning would likewise meet development policies and be compatible with existing and .planned uses in the .surrounding areas. The City of College Station recently completed a capital improvement project which extended a main sewer trunk line to this general .area. It is sized to .adequately serve .this type of development. This development would have to extend approximately 1800 feet of sewer to serve the development and tie into this line. The development would also have to construct the collector street .along. the .northern. property line and waterlines per the Edelweiss/Rock Prairie Estates Master Plan. Access to this tract will not be permitted from Wellborn Road. A Fiscal Impact Analysis was run and... the requested rezoning shows slightly less net revenue for the City under abuild-out scenario than the existing zoning for the subdivision.
