PLANNING
1. Revise the Rezoning Map to show the correct location of the city limit line on the figure and
its vicinity map. For reference, the vicinity map shows the correct location along Holleman
Drive South, Saddle Lane, and Quail Run. The city limit line then crosses North Dowling
Road at Quail Run and runs to the west along the north side of North Dowling Road right-of-
way across the face of this property (the opposite side of what is currently shown).
2. Revise the bike/hike trail on the Concept Plan. The hike/bike trail along the public road is to
serve as bike facilities in lieu of bike lanes. The portion of the hike/bike trail along the
existing North Dowling Road is an extension of the existing trail on the Cottages property
and is a private amenity as continued from the previous POD. Revise the Concept Plan and
notes to reflect that distinction.
3. Revise the zoning/modification letter to add back in the meritorious modification to allow
single and two-unit buildings on an R-4 Multi-Family lot, as provided in the existing POD
ordinance.
4. Please note that as modifications are requested to the parkland dedication requirements,
the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board will need to provide a recommendation regarding
the proposed modifications.

TRANSPORTATION
1. Based on the TIA memo, Brownstone should T into Market Street as proposed. Right-of-
way will still be required for the future realignment and reconstruction of Market, when traffic
warrants the Brownstone to be the through movement. With the preliminary plan, please
provide an alignment for this future realignment to show how much right-of-way should be
required and verify the current Brownstone realignment will be able to be realigned to
Holleman in the future. Please verify that this realignment can happen without affecting the
ponds near Holleman.

Re: CAPSTONE DEVELOPMENT AT HOLLEMAN DRIVE AND DOWLING ROAD (REZ-PDD)
Dear Jason,
As discussed we have modified our original bulk variance request and have itemized those in
this letter.
Listed below are the bulk variances that we are seeking for the Capstone development:
Understanding that we must choose a base zoning district for the residential development upon
which we base all variance requests, we have chosen R-4 -Multi-Family (similar to the original
rezoning request) as our base district.
Residential Area Bulk Variance Requests:
1. Allow for block length variances along North Dowling Drive. We have indicated a new
roadway (Junction Boys Road) to break some of the block length along North Dowling Drive.
2. Allow for 20' curb radii at intersections to create a more pedestrian friendly environment.
3. Allow for cottages (single detached units) and duplexes to be constructed within the POD
(R-4 based) category.
4. Unit Types:
The product we are proposing has a mix of unit types and bedroom counts. It is a mix of
building sizes and styles with a bedroom mix ranging from three to five bedroom units with
an average of 4.31 bedrooms/unit. There will be several single detached units as well as
duplexes and townhomes constructed within this POD (R-4 based) category. This product is
one that is gaining popularity in many college towns. The increased bedroom count allows
for a more affordable product for students. In this case, the increased density from these
bedrooms is appropriate given the location is within biking distance from the University. The
desire in the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan has always been to increase
student housing densities closer to campus to help with traffic congestion in the City. This
increased bedroom mix will encourage this.
Understanding that some concern may stem from the five bedroom units, we do offer that
the original rezoning request to POD contemplated 5 bedroom units and those indeed were
3204 EARL RUDDER FWY. S. • COLLEGE STATION, TX 77845 • T 979.260.6963 • F 979.260.3564
CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS • HYDROLOGY • UTILITIES • STREETS • SITE PLANS • SUBDIVISIONS
info@m1tchellandmorgan com • www m1tchellandmorgan com
approved in the 1st phase of this overall phased development. We do understand that
another recent rezoning request has perhaps set a precedent for how to handle this extra
unit density. To that we offer the following:
1. Parkland-given that we would be allowed to have all four bedroom units we would
be willing to pay the cost differential from the 4 bedroom/unit basis to our average
4.31 bedroom/unit basis or whatever is ultimately permitted on the site if it is less
than the 4.31 bedrooms I unit.
For instance:
Parkland Dedication based upon 4 bedroom units
4 bedrooms * 186 units = 7 44 bedrooms
186 units * $731/unit = $135,966 parkland fees due
Proposed Bedrooms Onsite = 801
801 bedrooms - 7 44 bedrooms for 186 units = extra 57 bedrooms
Assume all 4 bedroom units
57 bedrooms I 4 bedrooms per unit = an extra 14.25 units to get same# of beds
without 5 bed units
15 units * $731/unit = $10,965 extra parkland dedication fees
2. Occupancy Assurance -similar to the other rezoning case which had a condition
placed on it we agree to a condition that each bedroom be limited to 1 occupant
More than 4 Unrelated
Because the requested product is for more than four bedrooms, it makes logical sense that
there will be more than four unrelated people in the five bedroom units. Our request for
more than four unrelated individuals in a unit is within a POD zoning category and this
product is NOT located close to single family residential property. Although one might argue
how many unrelated individuals is too many for a single dwelling unit, it is our opinion that
five individuals, when each room is provided with a bathroom facility, is not too much for a
shared living and kitchen space. The market which is demanding these higher bedroom
count units will also demand that the shared areas be of sufficient size to accommodate the
higher student population occupying the space. Really, the cap on the number of unrelated
persons per unit in a multi-family development stemmed from a health and safety issue.
Namely, could a one bedroom unit with one bathroom handle five people trying to cram into
that living space? The type of products offered to student housing have changed over the
years and now it is very unusual to have shared bathroom facilities in the multi-family
housing developments. We usually find that each bedroom has its own bathroom included.
r ,
Rationale for Request
The rationale for the above requests is that we are dealing with an innovative design
concept that does not "fit" with the current regulations. Students are showing that they
desire living in a complex that is not a "cookie cutter" row after row of apartment buildings.
This complex will have a mix of unit types, styles and sizes with centralized green spaces
including the large green space shown as pond I common area. In addition, the student
housing market is showing that students do not mind sharing a common living space with
more students as long as they have their own private living area and bath. Increasing the
bedroom density will allow for a more affordable product for the students.
As stated in the UDO, the purpose of the Planned Development district is to promote and
encourage innovative development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural
environment. A POD may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not
permitted by other zoning districts. Finally, the PD District allows development to vary from
certain development standards so long as there are community benefits which outweigh the
requested modifications. We believe that this project offers a unique product and its community
benefits certainly outweigh modifications being requested. These community benefits are as
follows:
1. The detention will be provided in the irrigation pond area. This feature along Holleman
Drive provides for a nice view corridor from the street.
2. There is a hike/bike trail along the internal public street that the public will be able to
enjoy.
3. There is only 1 access driveway from the residential area as well as the 1 connection of
Junction Boys Road to North Dowling Road. Keeping th is number to a minimum will
help ease the North Dowling Road traffic concerns that may arise from the adjacent
single family residential properties.

General Requirements
EXHIBITB
The proposed multi-family is based on R-4 Multi-Family zoning district requirements which has
a maximum density of20 units per acre. As shown on the Concept Plan, the multi-family areas
are gated with main entry/exit boulevard driveways along the proposed public road and potential
exit only driveways on Holleman Drive South and North Dowling Road. The maximum height
of buildings will be limited to three stories and architecture elements that may be as tall as 70
feet.
A multi-use path is proposed along the proposed public road through the tract and a private
hike/bike trail continues along the portion of North Dowling Road to the west of the public road.
As described on the Concept Plan, a 35-foot to 50-foot wide buffer area is required along the
existing North Dowling Road that will consist of berms, landscaping, and a fence. The buffer
will serve as a community benefit as multi-family developments are not required to buffer along
rights-of-way and this will help transition the development to the existing single-family and rural
area across and down North Dowling Road.
Meritorious Modifications
• Allow for block length and block perimeter variances along North Dowling Road.
• Allow for 20-foot curb radii at intersections to create a more pedestrian friendly
environment.
• Allow for cottages (single detached units) and duplexes to be constructed within the PDD
(R-4 based) category.
• Allow five-bedroom units types to allow up to five unrelated individuals in a dwelling
unit with each bedroom limited to one occupant.
Community Benefits
The following community benefits to offset the proposed meritorious modifications have also
been identified by the applicant:
• Stormwater detention will be provided in the irrigation pond area. This feature along
Holleman Drive South provides for a nice view corridor from the street.
• There is a hike/bike trail along the internal public street that the public will be able to
enjoy.
• There is only one access driveway from the residential area as well as the one connection
of the public road to North Dowling Road. Keeping this number to a minimum will help
ease the North Dowling Road traffic concerns that may arise from the adjacent single
family residential properties.
• Additional parkland dedication fees to pay the cost differential between having all four
bedroom units and the additional bedrooms provided as a result of having five-bedroom
units. The development currently anticipates an average of 4.31 bedrooms per unit.

PLANNING
1. Revise the Rezoning Map to show the correct location of the city limit line on the figure and
its vicinity map. For reference, the vicinity map shows the correct location along Holleman
Drive South, Saddle Lane, and Quail Run. The city limit line then crosses North Dowling
Road at Quail Run and runs to the west along the north side of North Dowling Road right-of-
way across the face of this property (the opposite side of what is currently shown).
RESPONSE: The city limit line has been revised as requested.
2. Revise the bike/hike trail on the Concept Plan. The hike/bike trail along the public road is to
serve as bike facilities in lieu of bike lanes. The portion of the hike/bike trail along the
existing North Dowling Road is an extension of the existing trail on the Cottages property
and is a private amenity as continued from the previous PDD. Revise the Concept Plan and
notes to reflect that distinction.
RESPONSE: The Concept Plan has been revised as requested.

3. Revise the zoning/modification letter to add back in the meritorious modification to allow
single and two-unit buildings on an R-4 Multi-Family lot, as provided in the existing PDD
ordinance.
RESPONSE: Please see the attached revised letter.
4. Please note that as modifications are requested to the parkland dedication requirements, the
Parks & Recreation Advisory Board will need to provide a recommendation regarding the
proposed modifications.
RESPONSE: Understood. We have a meeting with the Parks Board scheduled for
Tuesday night, March 10, 2015.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 2
1. Please revise Note #7 to also include references to Zone A Special Flood Hazard area on the
property and NAI being required for any fill in the floodplain.
RESPONSE: This note has been changed as requested.
TRANSPORTATION
1. Based on the TIA memo, Brownstone should T into Market Street as proposed. Right-of-
way will still be required for the future realignment and reconstruction of Market, when
traffic warrants the Brownstone to be the through movement. With the preliminary plan,
please provide an alignment for this future realignment to show how much right-of-way
should be required and verify the current Brownstone realignment will be able to be
realigned to Holleman in the future. Please verify that this realignment can happen without
affecting the ponds near Holleman.
RESPONSE: Please see the attached graphic which shows the future realignment and
RO W's.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call our office at 979-260-6963.

2. Revise the Concept Plan to:
a. Reflect only the area in and immediately surrounding the proposed rezoning;
Response: We have revised this Concept Plan to reflect only the area in and
immediately surrounding the proposed rezoning.
b. Revise the notes to include only those applicable to the proposed rezoning area.
This would mean to delete Notes 1, 5, 6, 8, & 9 and to revise Note 2;
Response: These notes have been revised.
c. Remove the label for Brownstone Drive as this may become realigned North
Dowling Road . Also, revise how the street is depicted as it appears to be like a
local street;
Response: These changes have been made as requested.
d. Remove the Bike!Trail crossing mid-block on Holleman Drive South .
Response: This crossing has been removed from the graphic.
e. Provide a note that the Bike/Hike Trail along Brownstone/realigned North
Dowling Road will be public and constructed to public standard and the
remaining will be a private amenity. Continue the multi-use path to the Market
Street/Holleman Drive South intersection; and
Response: See Note#S and legend which indicates this information.
f. Provide a note that the Phase 1A lot will be replatted with the development of the
project to provide the additional right-of-way for a potential realignment of North
Dowling Road.
Response: This note has been added.
3. Remove the bulk variance for parallel parking on Brownstone Drive. If this street is to
become the realigned North Dowling Road, the Bicycle, Pedestrian , and Greenways
Master Plan shows bike lanes. Allow this modification to occur with the platting and
construction documents of the project. Please discuss as necessary.
Response: The parallel parking variance request has been removed.

4. If 5 bedroom units are desired, revise the bulk variance/meritorious modification to
allow up to 5 unrelated individual to reside in a 5 bedroom unit. This should also be
accompanied by a limitation such as the project having an average of 4 bedrooms or
less per unit and specified that the units are limited to 1 person per bedroom, as
discussed with the City Council and conditioned with another, recent rezoning
request.
Response: This modification has been made.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. The Concept Plan should designate the floodplain/detention area as open
space/common area/floodplain/detention. A note should also be added indicating
proposed use and maintenance of the area.
Response: This label has been added and a note has been added discussing
maintenance of this pond.
2. It is unclear whether the dashed line around the Phase 1 A area is supposed to be a
lot line, phase line, or an unlabeled easement (since it is similar to easement lines
shown nearby). A legend of line types may be helpful.
Response: These lines have now been labeled as property lines.
3. FYI. .. Portions of the floodplain may be able to be filled, but we will need further
drainage analysis and certification that it will not cause flooding to properties
upstream/downstream. Provide a note on the Concept Plan to include these items
as part of the rezoning, or we will have to recommend a conditional approval of the
rezoning to have it added .
Response: Understood. This note has been added to the Concept Plan as
Note #6.
TRANSPORTATION
Rezoning Comments:
1. The driveways shown on the Concept Plan in the TIA differ from the driveways
shown on the Concept Plan submitted with the rezoning. The location of the
driveways on the POD Concept Plan, should be adjusted to what was submitted with
the TIA. The driveway on North Dowling Road is on a portion outside the City limits,
maintained by the County and would need to be approved and permitted through
3
them; I would recommend making it for emergency access only (with a knox box), if
it is needed as a secondary access point.
Response: The concept plan driveways now match the TIA exhibit. We
understand that the driveways and street intersection on North Dowling will
require County approval.
2. At the intersection of Dowling and Brownstone, is the ROW sufficient to curve what
would become Old Dowling (east segment) into future, realigned Dowling
(Brownstone)?
Response: Yes, please refer to email correspondence between Veronica
Morgan and Danielle Singh on February 9, 2015.
TIA Comments:
3. The 1 % annual growth rate does not appear to be adequate based on the counts
taken in April vs the counts taken in September.
Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HOR.
4. FYI-Based on TxDOT comments for the CRED project, an additional southbound
lane on Holleman Drive, to keep a free right, will be required with that development.
Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HOR.
5. In the event that the CRED project is not developed prior to this development,
please provide LOS information for Market Street and Holleman, without a signal or
CRED traffic.
Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HOR.
6. Since Brownstone (or future Dowling) is a thoroughfare, there are concerns with
Brownstone T-ing into Market and not extending to Holleman Drive as the through
movement. Please provide an analysis showing the LOS at the intersection of
Brownstone and Market assuming existing Dowling is closed and realigned . This
will provide more information for us to evaluate this intersection. We will need to see
a layout that the current alignment would still be able to connect to Holleman in the
future.
Response: Please refer to the attached TIA Addendum provided by HOR. The
layout of the connection to Holleman will be provided with the Preliminary
Plan.

TxDOT
1. Proposed roadway (Market Street Extension) does not meet the TxDOT Access
Management Manual guidelines; there is not enough property frontage along FM-
2818 to support a safe full access point along any portion of the property frontage.
Response: We understand that there is no ability for "full access" and that
this roadway will be right-in I right-out only

Re: CAPSTONE DEVELOPMENT AT HOLLEMAN DRIVE AND DOWLING ROAD (REZ-PDD)
Dear Jason,
As discussed we have modified our original bulk variance request and have itemized those in
this letter.
Listed below are the bulk variances that we are seeking for the Capstone development:
Understanding that we must choose a base zoning district for the residential development upon
which we base all variance requests, we have chosen R-4 -Multi-Family (similar to the original
rezoning request) as our base district.
Residential Area Bulk Variance Requests:
1. Allow for block length variances along North Dowling Drive. We have indicated a new
roadway (Junction Boys Road) to break some of the block length along North Dowling Drive.
2. Allow for 20 ' curb radii at intersections to create a more pedestrian friendly environment.
3. Unit Types:
The product we are proposing has a mix of unit types and bedroom counts. It is a mix of
building sizes and styles with a bedroom mix ranging from three to five bedroom units with
an average of 4.31 bedrooms/unit. There will be several single detached units as well as
duplexes and townhomes constructed within this POD (R-4 based) category. This product is
one that is gaining popularity in many college towns. The increased bedroom count allows
for a more affordable product for students. In this case, the increased density from these
bedrooms is appropriate given the location is within biking distance from the University. The
desire in the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan has always been to increase
student housing densities closer to campus to help with traffic congestion in the City. This
increased bedroom mix will encourage this.
Understanding that some concern may stem from the five bedroom units, we do offer that
the original rezoning request to POD contemplated 5 bedroom units and those indeed were
approved in the 1st phase of this overall phased development. We do understand that
another recent rezoning request has perhaps set a precedent for how to handle this extra
unit density. To that we offer the following:
3204 EARL RUDDER FWY. 5. • COLLEGE STATION, TX 77845 • T 979.260.6963 • F 979.260.3564
CIVIL ENGINEERING • HYDRAULICS • HYDROLOGY • UTILITIES • STREETS • SITE PLANS • SUBDIVISIONS
1nfo@m1tchellandmorgan com • wwwm1tchellandmorgan com
1. Parkland-given that we would be allowed to have all four bedroom units we would
be willing to pay the cost differential from the 4 bedroom/unit basis to our average
4.31 bedroom/unit basis or whatever is ultimately permitted on the site if it is less
than the 4.31 bedrooms I unit.
For instance:
Parkland Dedication based upon 4 bedroom units
4 bedrooms * 186 units = 7 44 bedrooms
186 units* $731/unit = $135,966 parkland fees due
Proposed Bedrooms Onsite = 801
801 bedrooms -744 bedrooms for 186 units= extra 57 bedrooms
Assume all 4 bedroom units
57 bedrooms I 4 bedrooms per unit = an extra 14.25 units to get same # of beds
without 5 bed units
15 units* $731/unit = $10,965 extra parkland dedication fees
2. Occupancy Assurance -similar to the other rezoning case which had a condition
placed on it we agree to a condition that each bedroom be limited to 1 occupant
More than 4 Unrelated
Because the requested product is for more than four bedrooms, it makes logical sense that
there will be more than four unrelated people in the five bedroom units. Our request for
more than four unrelated individuals in a unit is within a PDD zoning category and this
product is NOT located close to single family residential property. Although one might argue
how many unrelated individuals is too many for a single dwelling unit, it is our opinion that
five individuals, when each room is provided with a bathroom facility, is not too much for a
shared living and kitchen space. The market which is demanding these higher bedroom
count units will also demand that the shared areas be of sufficient size to accommodate the
higher student population occupying the space. Really, the cap on the number of unrelated
persons per unit in a multi-family development stemmed from a health and safety issue.
Namely, could a one bedroom unit with one bathroom handle five people trying to cram into
that living space? The type of products offered to student housing have changed over the
years and now it is very unusual to have shared bathroom facilities in the multi-family
housing developments. We usually find that each bedroom has its own bathroom included.
Rationale for Request
The rationale for the above requests is that we are dealing with an innovative design
concept that does not "fit" with the current regulations. Students are showing that they
desire living in a complex that is not a "cookie cutter" row after row of apartment buildings.
This complex will have a mix of unit types, styles and sizes with centralized green spaces
including the large green space shown as pond I common area. In addition, the student
housing market is showing that students do not mind sharing a common living space with
more students as long as they have their own private living area and bath. Increasing the
bedroom density will allow for a more affordable product for the students.
As stated in the UDO, the purpose of the Planned Development district is to promote and
encourage innovative development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural
environment. A POD may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not
permitted by other zoning districts. Finally, the PD District allows development to vary from
certain development standards so long as there are community benefits which outweigh the
requested modifications. We believe that this project offers a unique product and its community
benefits certainly outweigh modifications being requested. These community benefits are as
follows:
1. The detention will be provided in the irrigation pond area. This feature along Holleman
Drive provides for a nice view corridor from the street.
2. There is a hike/bike trail along internal public street that the public will be able to enjoy.
3. There is only 1 access driveway from the residential area as well as the 1 connection of
Junction Boys Road to North Dowling Road . Keeping this number to a minimum will
help ease the North Dowling Road traffic concerns that may arise from the adjacent
single family residential properties.
Thank you very much. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call.

1. The detention will be provided in the irrigation pond area. This feature along Holleman Drive provides for a nice
view corridor from the street.
2. There is a hike/bike trail around the irrigation pond and along Holleman Drive that the public will be able to
enjoy.
3. There is only 1 access driveway from the residential areas and Brownstone Drive to North Dowling Road .
Keeping this number to a minimum will help ease the North Dowling Road traffic concerns that may arise from
the adjacent single family residential properties.
Thank you very much. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban and Natural
Areas Reserved and is located in Growth Area VI. The Urban designation is generally
for areas that should have a very intense level of development activities. These areas
will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. General
commercial and office uses, business parks, and vertical mixed-use may also be
permitted within growth and redevelopment areas. The Natural Areas Reserved
designation is generally for areas that represent a constraint to development and that
should be preserved for their natural function or open space qualities. These areas
include floodplains and riparian buffers, as well as recreation facilities. The proposed
zoning permits multi-family and retains natural open space in an existing pond area
and floodplain. The proposed land use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The subject tract is part of an existing POD
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 19, 2015
Page 4 of 8
Planned Development District that has other multi-family and commercial uses. The property
to the east is owned by the City of College Station and is anticipated to be used for
expansion of the existing water facilities . The property to the south across North Dowling
Road is developed as rural residential lots. The Concept Plan retains a 35-foot buffer area
along North Dowling Road that includes landscaping, fence, and berm to help mitigate the
intensity of the development with the less intense development to the south.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed
POD zoning allows for multi-family uses and the retains the existing pond area. Multi-family
development is suitable for the subject tract in that it has a relative proximity to the Texas
A&M University campus and is located in an area of largely other multi-family developments.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
existing POD Planned Development District allows for multi-family uses and a small
commercial site along Holleman Drive South. The subject tract is suitable for these uses.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
applicant states the marketability of the multi-family is still very viable though the small
commercial area is very difficult. Commercial areas tend to develop following residential
development.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject property is located adjacent to
a 12-inch water main along Holleman Drive South and an 8-inch water main at the
intersection of Junction Boys Road and Brownstone Drive. An 8-inch sanitary sewer main
stubs to the tract from the property to the west. New water mains and sanitary sewer lines
will be extended through the property to support future development. The existing utilities
appear to be adequate to support the proposed zoning on the property.
The subject property is located in the Whites Creek Drainage Basin and development of the
subject property is required to meet the minimum standards of the City's Storm Water
Design Guidelines. The subject property is encroached by FEMA Special Flood Hazard
Area -Zone A, in which no base flood elevations have been determined.
The subject property is located adjacent to two roadways identified on the Thoroughfare
Plan, Holleman Drive South (4-lane major collector) and North Dowling Road (2-lane major
collector). The alignment of the proposed public roadway would allow for the potential
rea lignment of North Dowling Road to Holleman Drive South at the intersection with Market
Street. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was submitted with the rezoning. The signalization of
the existing intersection of Holleman Drive South and Market Street would likely be
warranted and has been identified as mitigation with development in the area. Final traffic
mitigation measures will be determined prior to site development.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and
parking areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a POD, an applicant may also
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 19, 2015
Page 5 of 8
request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those
variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for
reviewing POD Concept Plans:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony
with the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan , and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with
the intent and purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public
street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners
association;
s. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not
limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare , or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular,
bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to
be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area
considering existing zoning and land uses in the area.
General
The Concept Plan is mainly multi-family with some open spaces areas. The commercial pad site
identified on the existing POD (area 83) has been removed from the proposed Concept Plan.
The potential future realignment of North Dowling Road has been moved to the west to allow it
to occur at the existing Market Street intersection with Holleman Drive South , which is planned
to be signalized with the development in the area.
The proposed multi-family will remain based on R-4 Multi-Family zoning district requirements
which has a maximum density of 20 units per acre. The multi-family areas are proposed to be
gated with main entry/exit boulevard driveways along the proposed Junction Boys Road and an
exit only driveways on Holleman Drive South and North Dowling Road . The maximum height of
buildings will be limited to three stories and architecture elements that may be as tall as 70 feet.
These heights are the same as the existing POD and similar to other multi-family developments
in the area.
A multi-use path is proposed along the proposed public road through the tract and the private
hike/bike trail along the portion of North Dowling Road carries over from the existing POD. The
hike/bike trail systems is intended to provide connection between the residential and
commercial areas of the original POD as well as provide recreational opportunities for the
residents.
A 35-foot to 50-foot wide buffer area remains proposed along the existing North Dowling Road
to buffer the proposed multi-family areas from the adjacent single-family and rural areas. This
buffer area will consist of a separating berm averaging 4 feet in height with a fence located on
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 19, 2015
Page 6 of 8
the development side of the berm and landscaping. The berm transition up and down so as to
along 70 percent of North Dowling Road 's frontage. The buffer will serve as a community
benefit as multi-family developments are not required to buffer along rights-of-way and this will
help transition the developments to the existing single-family and rural area outside of the City.
Meritorious Modifications
The applicant has requested the following meritorious modifications:
• Allow for block length variances along North Dowling Road. This modification request
carries forward from the existing POD approved in 2008. The current block length
requirement is 660 feet for areas designated Urban in the Comprehensive Plan. A public
roadway is proposed to bisect the tract and there are few alternatives to this remaining
portion of the original POD area.
• Allow for 20-foot curb radii at intersections to create a more pedestrian friendly
environment. This modification request carries forward from the existing POD approved
in 2008. The allowable range of curb return radii is between 25 and 30 feet. The tighter
radii will shorten the distance for pedestrians to cross an intersection and create a more
pedestrian friendly environment.
• Allow for cottages (single detached units) and duplexes to be constructed within the
POD (R-4 based) category. This modification request carries forward from the existing
POD approved in 2008. The new MF Multi-Family district adopted in December 2014
allows this by right though the applicant has chosen to retain the R-4 Multi-Family district
as the base district that does not allow these units on the same lot as multi-family units.
• Allow five-bedroom units types to allow up to five unrelated individuals in a dwelling unit.
This modification has been added to clarify what was already anticipated with the
existing POD approved in 2008. A mix of three, four, and five-bedroom units with an
average of 4.31 bedrooms per unit is proposed with the development. The applicant has
included more explanation as part of their application and is proposing to provide
additional parkland dedication fees for the additional bedrooms over the average of four
bedrooms per unit as described in the Community Benefits section.
Community Benefits
The applicant has identified the following community benefits to offset the proposed meritorious
modifications:
• The detention will be provided in the irrigation pond area. This feature along Holleman
Drive South provides for a nice view corridor from the street.
• There is a hike/bike trail along the internal public street that the public will be able to
enjoy.
• There is only one access driveway from the residential area as well as the one
connection of the public road to North Dowling Road. Keeping this number to a minimum
will help ease the North Dowling Road traffic concerns that may arise from the adjacent
single family residential properties.
• Additional parkland dedication fees to pay the cost differential between having all four
bedroom units and the additional bedrooms provided as a result of having five-bedroom
units. The development currently anticipates an average of 4.31 bedrooms per unit. The
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended approval of this community benefit
at their March 10, 2015 meeting.

REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary.
Originally the Concept Plan had commercial at the comer of Holleman and future Dowling Road. This commercial
was very small in size and with the removal/relocation of Dowling Road this isn't a hard comer any longer. Because
of this and the location this far off FM2818, the commercial is not desirable at this location.
Revised 4/14 Page 2 of 7
2. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the
Plan is incorrect.
Yes, it is in compliance with the Plan. The approved Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Urban Land Use and
this project is in compliance with an Urban designation.
3. How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
the character of the neighborhood?
The present zoning is POD with a mix of multi-family and commercial uses shown. The zone change request is only
to remove the B-3 commercial tract on Holleman Drive and replace it with multi-family.
4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The property location is suitable for multi-family development as shown on the request. The location on Holleman
Drive near the FM2818 intersection is ideal for this higher density development. These uses were permitted and
deemed suitable with the initial POD zoning case. The only modification is to remove the B-3 commercial.
5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
Multi-family is suitable with the existing POD zoning. The B-3 tract will be difficult to develop as commercial.
6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The marketability of the multi-family is still very viable. The marketability of this small commercial piece on
Holleman Drive will be very difficult. Being off the major thoroughfare (FM281 BJ along with its size make it difficult
to market.
7. List any other reasons to support this zone change.
This zone change is only requesting that the small commercial portion B-3 on Holleman Drive be deleted. This is a
very minor amendment to the current POD zoning.
Revised 4/14 Page 3 of 7
8. State the purpose and intent of the proposed development.
Purpose and intent of the proposed development is to provide multi-family housing.
CONCEPT PLAN SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. What is the range of future building heights?
Maximum of three-stories with architectural elements as tall as 70-feet above ground level.
2. Provide a general statement regarding the proposed drainage.
This project will contribute runoff to the existing irrigation/retention pond.
3. List the general bulk or dimensional variations sought.
These are the same as the originally approved POD.
4. If variations are sought, please provide a list of community benefits and/or innovative design concepts to justify the
request.
Not applicable.
Revised 4/14 Page 4 of 7
5. Explain how the concept plan proposal will constitute and environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony
with the character of the surrounding area.
The surrounding properties are currently developed as multi-family developments. This project will be compatible
with these adjacent uses.
6. Explain how the proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan clearly states that it is desirable to locate multi-family projects in close proximity to Texas
A&M University and to major thoroughfares that are sized to handle the increased traffic loads.
7. Explain how the concept plan proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development.
The surrounding properties are currently developed as multi-family developments. This project will be compatible
with these adjacent uses.
8. State how dwelling units shall have access to a public street if they do not front on a public street.
Alf of the dwelling units will have access to a public street via private internal parking lots and drive aisles. Access
will be to Holleman, Brownstone Drive and North Dowling Road.
9. State how the development has provided adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to: parks, schools,
and other public facilities.
The development will be paying parkland dedication fees.
Revised 4/14 Page 5 of 7
1 o. Explain how the concept plan proposal will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Removal of the retail on Holleman will lessen the traffic activity at this location. The remaining development is in
compliance with th e current zoning.
11 . Explain how the concept plan proposal will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or
pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and
other uses reasonable anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area.
The modification being requested (i.e. removal of commercial B-3) will lessen the traffic activity on Holleman.
Please note that a "complete site plan" must be submitted to Planning & Development Services for a formal review after
the "concept plan" has been approved by the City Council prior to the issuance of a building permit -except for single-
family development.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true,
correct, and complete. IF THIS APPL/CATION IS FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE
PROPERTY, this application must be accompanied by a power of attorney statement from the owner. If there is more
than one owner, all owners must sign the application or the power of attorney. If the owner is a company, the application
must be accompanied by proof of authority for the company's representative to sign the application on its behalf.
