(01-267) Applicant: Ali Safi Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends denial of the rezoning due to infrastructure constraints. Item Summary: The applicant is requesting this rezoning to enable development of the property. The property to the west is zoned R-1 and is under development. To the north some of the property is zoned R-1 and developed as the Southwood Athletic Complex and some is zoned A-O and vacant. A rezoning request for this A-O tract has been submitted and will likely come before the Commission at the beginning of April. To the east is a tract of land that is zoned A-O, is vacant, and which separates the subject property from the City's Utility Service Center. Comprising a portion of and adjacent to the southern border of the subject property is a portion of floodplain shown as a Priority 3 Greenway in the City's Greenways Masterplan. Property south of the greenway is zoned R-2 and is developing as the Aggieland Subdivision. The final plat for the Aggieland Subdivision was recently approved by the Commission. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan does show this area as Medium Density Single Family, with a corresponding density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. Access to the site would be solely from Arnold Road, which is shown on the Thoroughfare Plan as a minor collector. It will eventually connect further to the east to a north-south road that will connect to Rock Prairie Road through the Med site and to Graham Road through the Utility Service Center site. Once the entire road system for the area is built out, access to the subject property will be via this collector system and via the Arnold/Schaffer system that is under construction. Currently, however, access to the property is provided back to Graham along substandard gravel drives. Arnold Road is planned to be improved and extended through the adjacent development, Sun Meadows, to the edge of the subject property. The Final Plat of Sun Meadows Phase II, adjacent to the subject property is filed at the courthouse and the infrastructure has been guaranteed. It is presently under construction. However, for the purpose of a rezoning request, the City does not recognize that water or streets are available to the subject property until they are in the ground and accepted by the City. on this tract. And even if Sun Meadows were completed, it would fall to the City to ensure that Arnold Road, which is Documentl Page 1 of 3 Created on 03112102 3:40 PM primarily off of the subject property, was capable of handling the traffic impacts resulting from the new development. Item Background: The subject property has been in the City's ETJ since 1971. When annexation occurred in 1993, the tract was brought into the City under the A-O, Agricultural Open, zoning district. Platting of this tract has not yet occurred. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: As mentioned above, a Priority 3 Greenway traverses the southern portion of the property. The applicant has begun discussions with the City's Greenway Program Manager. Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are: 1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted; 2. Recommend approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative impacts; 3. Recommend a less intense zoning classification; 4. Recommend denial; 5. Table indefinitely; or, 6. Defer action to a specified date. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Infrastructure and Facilities 4. Zoning Summary Sheet Document1 Page 2 of 3 Created on 03112102 3:40 PM INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water: Sun Meadows Phase II extended a 12" waterline to this property along Arnold. We would require this property to extend this 12" line through to the opposite property boundary. OP is available for the additional capacity not needed for this development. Sewer: This property has access to the 92-01 Impact Fee Sewer Trunk Line. Streets: Arnold Road is classified as a minor collector on the Thoroughfare plan. The full ROW width is not located on the subject property. Therefore, in order to ensure the provision of adequate access to and through the site off-site improvements would be required. Off-site Easements: It does not appear that any off-site easements are required at this time. Drainage: This property drains to Lick Creek. Detention is a requirement on most developments. The property owner is weighing the option of dedication the 100-year floodplain as Greenway. If the dedication is made with the plat, the detention requirement would be waived. With dedication, the City takes ownership and control of the 100-year floodplain and can guarantee no development in its boundaries. Flood Plain: 100-year floodplain does exist on this property. The floodplain is not mapped per FEMA. Oversize request: The Developer may request OP on the 12" water line. Impact Fees: This property will sewer to the 92-01 Impact Fee Sewer Trunk Line. This fee is currently $232.04 per Living Unit Equivalent. Parkland Dedication: A development fee of $309 and fee in lieu of land dedication amount of $148 will be required for each R-1 lot with final platting.

STAFF REPORT Prepared by: Jennifer Flanery Date: June 20, 2002 Email: jflanery@ci.college-station.tx.us Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance amendment for a rezoning of approximately 7.76 acres located at 1855 Arnold Road from A-O, Agricultural Open to R-1, Single Family Residential. (01-267) Applicant: Ali Safi Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Item Summary: The applicant is requesting this rezoning to enable development of the property. The property to the west is zoned R-1 and is under development. To the north a portion of the property is zoned R-1 and developed as the Southwood Athletic Complex and a portion is zoned A-O and vacant. A rezoning request for this A-O tract has been submitted and is under consideration. To the east is a tract of land that is zoned A-O, is vacant, and separates the subject property from the City's Utility Service Center. Arnold Road has recently been improved and extended through the adjacent development, Sun Meadows, to the edge of the subject property. In order to provide access to this site, by continuing Arnold Road and complying with the Thoroughfare Plan, some off-site improvements will be required because a portion of the road right-of-way is off-site. Due to a recent amendment to the Subdivision Regulations, the property must connect to paved, public right-of-way in order for the applicant to develop the property. This requirement will be addressed at the platting stage. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan does show this area as Medium Density Single Family, with a corresponding density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. Access to the site would be from Arnold Road, which is shown on the Thoroughfare Plan as a minor collector. In order to provide access to the site, by building Arnold Road and complying with the Thoroughfare Plan, some off- site improvement will be required because a major portion of the road right-of- way is off-site. The Arnold Road street infrastructure will either be required to be improved prior to subdivision of the property or developed as part of their internal circulation. Item Background: The subject property has been in the City's ETJ since 1971. When annexation occurred in 1993, the tract was brought into the City under the A-O, Agricultural Open, zoning district. Platting of this tract has not yet occurred.

Related Advisory Board Recommendations: A requirement during the platting of the property is that the Parks Board review the parkland dedication proposal of the developer, whether it is for land dedication or fee in lieu of land. The current development fee is $309 and the fee in lieu of land dedication amount that may be required is $148 for each R-1 lot with final platting. If platting occurs after July 10t", the new parkland fees will apply.
