Agenda Item Cover Sheet ❑X Regular Item ❑ Consent Item ❑ Workshop item Item Submitted By: Jim Callaway Council Meeting Date: January 27, 2000 Director Approval: City Manager Approval: Item: Public hearing, consideration and possible action on an amendment to Chapter 12, "Zoning", of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, addition a new Section 23, "Moratorium on Certain Applications". Item Summary: At the November 9, 1999, Joint Workshop Meeting of the City Council, Zoning Board of Adjustment and Planning and Zoning Commission, problems associated with infill development of older residential areas were discussed. On December 9, 1999, staff presented a status report to Council regarding amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to address lot sizes and multiple principal structures in these areas. At that time, Council directed staff to prepare a moratorium ordinance to limit infill in these areas. This is to prevent further inappropriate infill while new regulations are established and overlay zones created. The attached amending ordinance establishes two areas for a six month moratorium on applications for zone changes, conditional use permits, variances, and special exceptions on property currently zoned single family residential. Commercial and multifamily properties are not effected. The two areas are: A. Area 1- An area bounded by Texas Avenue, Holleman Drive, Glade Avenue, Southwest Parkway, Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive. B. Area 2- An area bounded by Texas Avenue, University Drive, Tarrow Street, Lincoln Avenue, University Drive, the Earl Rudder Freeway and Harvey Road. Budgetary and Financial Summary: N/A Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The P&Z recommended approval with modifications to the area boundaries. The attached ordinance includes the P&Z's recommended boundaries revised to be consistent with the boundaries established by Council in the platting - building permit moratorium (as approved on January 13). Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. The Council can recommend alternate areas or changes in the types of applications to be subject to the moratorium. Council Action Options: Approve, approve with modifications, deny or table. Supporting Materials: Draft ordinance, P&Z minutes. AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Public hearing, consideration and possible action on an amendment to ordinance #1638, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of College Station, adding Section 23 MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN APPLICATIONS. (99-814) This item was presented and discussed with Agenda Item No. 10. Commissioner Kaiser moved to recommend approval of the moratorium, with recommendation that "Area A" include the "states" streets, and extend the area to include properties bounded by George Bush, Wellborn Road, Southwest Parkway, Glade, up Holleman from Glade, to Texas Avenue. Commissioner Mooney seconded the motion. Commissioner Floyd amended "Area B" to exclude the portion bounded by University Drive, Tarrow, Lincoln (a triangular area). Commissioner Kaiser amended his motion to include Commissioner Floyd's suggestion. Agenda Item Cover Sheet Agenda Item #5 Regular Item Consent Item [fliWorkshop Item Item Submitted By: Natalie Thomas Ruiz, Development Manager Council Meeting Date: January 24th, 2002 DirectorApproval: GUTaa~,. Brym5~ City Manager Approval: ~e arithrr Item: Discussion and possible action on an ordinance amending the Subdivision Regulations in Chapter 9 of the College Station City Code, to add Section 18 which limits replatting in subdivisions platted prior to July 15, 1970. Item Summary: Section 18 was originally adopted as a moratorium ordinance to provide Council with an alternative for addressing infill issues in older neighborhoods while long term measures are completed through the new Unified Development Code (UDC). It was originally adopted in February of last year and expired on January 1St of 2002. Due to recent legislative changes dealing with moratoriums on property development, the expiration date of this section cannot simply be extended until the UDC is adopted. Due to these changes in state law, multiple public hearings and readings of the ordinance along with specific findings must be conducted prior to adoption of a moratorium. Once that process is complete, the moratorium will expire after 120 days unless additional public hearings, multiple readings of the ordinance and reasonable progress has been made to alleviate the problem. Therefore, this ordinance amendment is an attempt to provide interim protection for the City's older neighborhoods until the UDC is adopted. Due to the time consuming moratorium process and its temporary nature, staff is proposing an ordinance amendment to help protect the City's older neighborhoods from higher density development that may exceed the capacity of the existing infrastructure. However, the ordinance amendment will apply city-wide and not to the specific areas previously identified in the moratorium ordinance. The ordinance was drafted with the South Side and Eastgate neighborhoods in mind; however, it will include lots in the Southwood, South Knoll, Harvey Hillsides and Cooner subdivisions. A map will be available at the workshop that identifies the areas impacted by this amendment. This item is listed on both the workshop agenda and the consent agenda. On the consent agenda, the staff will be asking the Council to approve the ordinance. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. Council Action Options: Council may approve the ordinance as submitted, return the ordinance to staff with alternate direction or deny approval of the ordinance. Supporting Materials: 1.
