Commissioner Lightfoot stated that a lot of study has been given in the design of the site. The drainage
_ concerns have been addressed by the District As fat~as securityand the proximity of the parking lot,- in
order for the school to monitor the parking lot, it should be closer to the building.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Public hearing to consider a conditional use permit request to allow
an Emergency Room addition to the existing Brazos Valley Medical Center located at 1604 Rock
Prairie Road in the Belmont Phase II Subdi`~ision. (96-702)
Senior Planner Kuenzel presented the staff report and. informed the Commission that the request
involved the expansion of the existing. emergency room into an 11,470 square foot Emergency Surgery
addition. The project also involves the relocation of fifteen existing parking spaces, the relocation of
the existing helicopter pad and the reconfiguration of the Emergency Entrance driveway and fire lane.
The original conditional use permit and site plan was approved by the Commission on October 17, 1985
for 258 parking spaces serving the 76,503 square. foot hospital. Another site plan for the 44,b24 square
foot medical office was later approved fur 179 parking spaces, resulting in a .total of 437 required
parking spaces for both the hospital and the medical office building. Currently, 569 parking spaces are
provided for the whole complex, exceeding the parking requirement by 132 parking spaces. The
current Zoning Ordinance allows for hospital parking to be determined by the Commission. Neither the
-file documents nor meeting minutes specify:. what.. parking. methodology was used at the'. time of the
original conditional use/site plan approval Hov~~ever, staff feels that the parking necessary for the
11,470 square foot trauma center expansion is comparable to the: current medicaUdental clinic {<20,000
s.f.) requirement of one parking space per 200 square feet.. Using these numbers, the trauma center
expansion would need approximately 58 parking spaces, which is well under the current 132 additional
parking spaces. Stair recommended approval of the conditional use permit ~Tith the conditions listed in
the Project Review Committee reporf.'
Commissioner Hall opened the public hearing.... Seeing _no one present to speak in favor of or in
opposition to the request, he closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Lightfoot moved to grant: a conditional use permit to allow an expansion of the hospital

and 0.94 acres of Kyle Street right-of--way adjacent to the Reserve Tract.. Wolf Pen Creek runs through
the property and by ordinance, property dedication is required if the developer chooses not to develop
the parkarea at this time. This dedication is being. made into two parts with this plat. The first being
the dedication as shown of the 5.1 acres, and the second will come by separate instrument from the
buyer of lot 1. Due to prior arrangements between-the buyer and seller, the applicant. has requested that
the City obtain the 20' 'minimum reserve area from the owner of lot l with the site development of that
lot. During the CIP Advisory Committee process, the extension of Kyle south through this property
