Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Conditional Use
Permit & Site Plan for the CS Medical Center Expansion - MOB II, located at
1604 Rock Prairie Road (1-500234)
Applicant: Municiple Development Group
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the expansion of
phase II of the Medical Office Building with the conditions of staff review
comments no. 2.
Item Summary: The College Station Medical Office Building is proposing to
expand their parking lot area to accommodate the new 4-story 62,500 sq. ft.
medical office building that is proposed to be constructed as phase ll.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property is shown on the
Land Use Plan as Institutional. The adjacent property to the east is shown as
Retail Regional, and the adjacent property to the south and west is shown as
Residential Attached (10-20 DU/AC). To the north across Rock Prairie Road, the
Land Use Plan shows Residential Attached and Retail Neighborhood.
According to the City of College Station thoroughfare plan, a minor collector is
planned to extend across the southwest corner of the subject property.
According to the city's subdivision regulations, platting is required when a
subdivision of property is necessary. The applicants are not required to subdivide
at this time; therefore the city does not have the authority to require a dedication
of R.O.W. or construction at this time.
Item Background: The subject property has been annexed into the City limits
since 1982. The original conditional use permit and site plan were approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 17, 1985. Since that time the
hospital has been granted three additional conditional use permits for their
expansions. The first one being in 1986 for the Medical Office Building, the
second one being in 1992 for the MRI addition, and in 1996 they had the
Emergency Room addition.
Staff Analysis: Section 14 of the Zoning Ordinance authorizes the existence of
conditional uses. The Commission may permit a conditional use subject to
appropriate conditions and safeguards, when after public notice and hearing the
Commission finds that:

I . "The proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the
ordinance for the type of use proposed." Staff conducted a technical review
and found general compliance with development regulations.
2. "That the proposed use meets the purposed and intent of the ordinance and
is in harmony with the development policies and goals and objectives as
embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for Development of the City. The
request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. "That the propose use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and
safety of the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, nor be substantially
or permanently injurious to neighboring property." The public hearing is an
opportunity for the Commission to measure the potential impact on
surrounding land uses.
The Commission may impose additional reasonable restrictions or conditions to
carry out the spirit and intent of the ordinance and to mitigate adverse effects of
the proposed use. These requirements may include, but are not limited to,
increased open space, loading and parking requirements, additional
landscaping, and additional improvements such as curbing, sidewalks and
screening."
Unless the public hearing brings to light any new information indicating potential
negative impacts, Staff recommends approval with Staff Review Comments.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations:
