HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutesCity Planner Kee presented the staff report and stated that the Foxfire and Sandstone subdivisions surround the subject tract on the east, south and west, and Sandstone Pazk on the north. It contains 14.41 acres and lies at the end of Oakwood Trail in the Sandstone Subdivision. Foxfire is zoned A-OR Rural Residential (minimum one acre lots) and Sandstone is zoned R-1 Single Family although the lots meet the A-OR dimensions. The developer intends to build large (over one acre lots) for single family development. The land use plan reflects this area for low density single family development. This density calls for lots ranging from `/z acre to 3 acres in size. The proposal would contain 91ots ranging from just over one acre to just over 4 acres. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request. Chairman Rife opened the public hearing. Mr. Bruce Miles, 2710 Oakwood said that he owns the tract adjacent to the proposal. He is concerned with the lot sizes not matching up with the existing. Mr. Philip Blackburn, was present to represent Mr. Tony Jones (the applicant). He said that the intention is to develop upscale estate-like homes. The streets would be blacktop with laydown curbs. The four acre tract would not be included, and there would be no access to this tract. There is a current drainage system that would be upgraded to accommodate this development. He explained that Mr. Tony Jones spoke with numerous people in the Sandstone area. He assumed Mr. Miles was not one that was spoken to, but was not sure why. Chairman Rife closed the public hearing. Commissioner Mooney moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Commissioner Horlen seconded the motion, which passed 4-2; Commissioners Floyd and Warren voted in opposition. AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning for approximately 7.16 acres located on the northwest corner of Holleman and Harvey Mitchell Parkway from R-1 Single Family Residential to C-1 General Commercial (2.08 acres) and R-2 Duplex Residential (5.7 acres). (99-129) Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that the applicant was preparing the property for a duplex development with a convenience store/service station at the corner of Holleman and Harvey Mitchell Pazkway. A preliminary plat showing a new neighborhood street to serve most of the duplex property is currently under review and will appeaz before the Commission in the near future. The Land Use Plan reflects the tract and the rest of the propertq tot he north toward Luther as high density single family. However, ire the last few years, the development trend for the area bound by Marion Pugh, Luther, and Harvey Mitchell Parkway has been infill in the form of apartment complexes. The duplex portion of the request is compatible with the existing land use pattern in the area, that of duplexes, fourplexes, and apartment complexes. The Land Use Plan shows mixed use for the area to the south across Holleman and extending to the Wellborn Road intersection. This would indicate potential commercial uses south of Holleman with high density residential uses to the north. Therefore, the C-1 portion of the request is technically not in compliance with the land use plan. However, development policies relating to commercial development would support some type of commercial use on both sides of this intersection, especially one that would serve the residential neighborhood. This intersection with Harvey Mitchell is also the most likely location for a future traffic light, which would further support some commercial uses. Harvey Mitchell is classified as a freeway/expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan. Access to this type of roadway should be limited to P&Z Minutes December 16, 1999 Page 10 oJ12 r controlled entrance point. The request for C-1 zoning would open the tract that has frontage along 2818 to potential uses such as theaters, nightclubs, mini-storage, and automobile sales, etc. The intent is to develop the property as a convenience store/service station, which may or may not be compatible with the existing residential use to the west nor with the proposed duplexes to the north. Whether or not the commercial use will be intrusive on the residential azeas depends on the site development on the tract. A rezoning to a PDD-B would enable the City to work with the developer toward a site plan that would transition between the commercial and industrial uses. Staff recommended approval of the R-2. Staff recommended denial of the C-1 without prejudice so that the applicant may return with a PDD-B request. Chairman Rife opened the public hearing. Mr. Don Jones 804 Berry Creek, was present representing the owner, he said that the developer felt that the commercial zone at the corner would balance the numbers for the development of the duplex. He said that the convenience store at this site would lessen the burden at the intersection of Holleman and Wellborn Road, where the neazest convenience store is located. Mr. Philip Blackburn, 3243 Innsbrook, representing the developer, said that the developer is know for his first class developments. He felt this development would be a good use for the property. He said that if the Commission could not support the C-1 zoning, they would request consideration of a C-B classification. If neither of these zonings can be supported, he asked that the request be denied. Chairman Rife closed the public hearing. Commissioner Floyd moved to deny the rezoning request with prejudice. Commissioner Horlen seconded the motion. Commissioner Floyd did not feel this area should be developed as commercial. Chairman Rife supported the motion, but did not feel it should be denied with prejudice. Commissioner Warren said that she was not opposed to the commercial development at this location. Chairman Rife called for the vote, and the motion to deny`~the request with prejudice passed 4-2; Chairman Rife and Commissioner Mooney voted in opposition to the motion. AGENDA ITEM NO. 12: Update to the Commission of any new Minor or Amending Plats approved by Staff. City Planner Kee told the Commission that there were two minor plats approved by staff since the last Commission meeting. These are the Replat of 2 lots in Woodlake Estates, and Spencer's Cove. AGENDA ITEM NO. 13: Discussion of future agenda items. The Commissioners wanted to see an item on a future agenda to discuss possible other zoning classifications as they relate to one and 5 acre lots.

(99-1241 City Planner Kee explained this item. This request will add 19.149 acres of single-family residential zoning to the existing Emerald Forest Subdivision. The proposed R-lA zoning district is in compliance with the medium density single-family residential designation shown on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The property is proposed to be platted for 55 lots with an average lot size of 12,200 square feet. The purpose for the R-1 request is to gain a reduced rear setback from 25 ft. to 20 ft. Staff and Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval. Mayor McIlhaney opened the public hearing. No one spoke. She closed the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Mariott made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 2425 rezoning 19.149 acres, Sandstone Subdivision, from A-O Agricultural Open to R-lA Single Family Residential.

The applicant has proposed the property for duplex development with a convenience store/service station at the corner of Holleman and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The development trend for this area has been infill with apartment complexes. The duplex portion of the request is compatible with the existing land use pattern in the area, that of duplexes, fourplexes and apartment complexes. The Land Use Plan shows mixed use for the area to the south across Holleman and extending to the Wellborn Road intersection. The C-1 portion of the request is technically not in compliance with the Land Use Plan. Development policies relating to commercial development would support some type of commercial use on both sides of this intersection. The C-1 zoning would open the tract that has frontage along 2818 to more retail sales. The intent is to develop the property as a convenience store/service station that may or may not be compatible with the existing residential use to the west nor with the proposed duplexes to the north. A rezoning to PDD-B would enable the City to work with the developer toward a site plan that would transition between the commercial and residential uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial. The Commission was opposed to the commercial development at this location. Staff recommended approval of the R-2 zone and denial of the C-1 zone without prejudice to allow the applicant to return to the city with aPDD-B request. Mayor McIlhaney opened the public hearing. Providing Customer Service Excellence Office of the City Secretary College Station, Texas Council Meetings 1/13/00 Page 7 The developer Tony Jones, 2800 Longmire #50 asked for approval of R-2 zoning for 5 acres and C-1 or C-B for the remaining 2.08 acres.

(99-1461 Senior Planner McCully presented this item. The property is in the process of being remodeled from a nonconforming service station into an office for a construction company. The changes made thus have fallen under legal nonconforming status. The applicant intended to expand the use to include on-site storage of construction materials, which is beyond the scope of legal nonconforming status. The Land Use Plan reflects the area as future light industrial/research and development. The Commissioners commended the applicant for the improvements to the area. Their concerns related to the other types of permitted uses in a C-2 classification. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial without prejudice to give the applicant the opportunity to return with aPDD-B. Senior Planner McCully read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore of 4098 Raymond Stotzer Parkway who opposed the rezoning. Mayor McIlhaney opened the public hearing. Matt Klunkert of 8413 Shadow Oaks, owner of the property addressed the C-2 zoning.

(99-185) Applicant: Tony Jones Item Summary: The applicant in this case is preparing the property for a duplex development with a convenience store/service station at the corner of Holleman and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. A preliminary plat showing a new neighborhood street to serve most of the duplex property is currently under review and will appear before the Commission in the near future. The Land Use Plan reflects the tract and the rest of the property to the north toward Luther as high density single family. However, in the last few years, the development trend for the area bound by Marion Pugh, Luther, and Harvey Mitchell Parkway has been infill in the form of apartment complexes. The duplex portion of the request is compatible with the existing land use pattern in the area, that of duplexes, fourplexes, and apartment complexes. The Land Use Plan shows mixed use for the area to the south across Holleman and extending to the Wellborn Road intersection. This would indicate potential commercial uses south of Holleman with high density residential uses to the north. Therefore, the C-1 portion of the request is technically not in compliance with the Land Use Plan. However, development policies relating to commercial development would support some type of commercial use on both sides of this intersection, especially one that would serve the residential neighborhood. This intersection with Harvey Mitchell is also the most likely location for a future traffic light, which would further support some commercial uses. Harvey Mitchell is classified as a freeway/expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan, the same classification as Highways 6, 40, and 47. Access to these roadways should be limited to controlled entrance points. For example, access to Highway 6 is via frontage roads and entrance ramps. Individual driveway access to these roads would present a high potential for vehicular accidents and would slow traffic along them. Therefore driveways should be significantly limited. The intended purpose for Harvey Mitchell is to serve as a high speed traffic loop around our community. It is not to provide a commercial corridor and should not develop in a strip commercial style with multiple access points that would slow traffic, and deteriorate the function of Harvey Mitchell as an expressway. Rezoning to a PDD-B would give the City the opportunity to coordinate access to the site requested for C-1. The request for C-1 zoning would open the tract that has frontage along 2818 to potential uses such as theaters, nightclubs, mini-storage, automobile sales, mobile home sales, and sexually oriented businesses in addition to the more typically found retail sales. The intent is to develop the property as a convenience store/service station which may or may not be compatible with the existing residential use (Waldon Pond Apartments) to the west nor with the proposed duplexes to the north. Whether or not the commercial use will be intrusive on the residential areas depends on the site development of the tract. A rezoning to a PDD-B would enable the City to work with the developer toward a site plan that would transition between the commercial and residential uses. Item Background: The subject properly and the entire area between Marion Pugh and Harvey Mitchell Parkway were annexed into the City in 1970. Several apartment complexes as well as duplex and fourplex developments were built within the area during the early 1980's. More recently, the Fairfield, Melrose, and Sterling University apartment complexes were developed. Budgetary & Financial Summary: None at this time. There may be OP requested for utility lines. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the R-2. Staff recommends denial of the C-1 without prejudice so that the applicant may return with aPDD-B request. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on December 16, 1999, and recommends denial by a vote of 4-2. The Commission does not think that the subject property should have any type of commercial zoning (see minutes for details). Council Action Options: 1. Approval of rezoning as submitted. 2. Approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative impacts. 3. Approval of a less intense zoning classification (only if recommended by PNZ). 4. Denial. 5.
