Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
December 16, 1999
6:30 P.M.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning for Klunkert Office
building located at 4090 Raymond Stotzer Parkway, from A-O Agricultural Open to C-2
Industrial Commercial. (99-127)
Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and said that the subject property is in the process of
being remodeled from a nonconforming service station that was annexed into the City several years
ago to a construction office. The changes made thus far have fallen under legal nonconforming status,
but 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. That classification would call for exclusively industrial
development, and the requested C-2 includes several industrial type uses in addition to general
commercial uses, such as those allowed in C-l. The industrial uses listed in the C-2 district would be in
compliance with the plan. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request.
Chairman Rife opened the public hearing.
Mr. Matt Klunkert, 8413 Shadow Oaks, (the owner) explained that this use would be for a commercial
industrial construction company. There would be very little equipment stored on site, and would not
involve any fuel storage. The surrounding properties are owned by Texas A&M University.
Chairman Rife closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Horlen moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Commissioner Warren
seconded the motion.
Commissioner Floyd said that he was in favor of the intentions of the applicant. He commended the
applicant for building a nice building, and felt it was an improvement to one of the major gateways
into College Station. His concerns were with the other permitted uses in the C-2 classification.
Commissioner Kaiser was also concerned with what other types of businesses could be brought in if
this business were to relocate.
Commissioner Mooney expressed his concern with security for this business with the storage of
equipment. He felt that intense screening would allow for security and beautification of the
development.
Chairman Rife called for the vote, and the motion to approve the rezoning failed 1-5; Commissioner
Horlen voted in favor of the motion.

12.4 Public hearing, discussion and possible action on rezoning Klunkert Office Building located at 4090
Raymond Stotzer Parkway from A-O Agricultural/Open to C-2 Industrial Commercial. (99-146)
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 a PDD-B.
Senior Planner McCully read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore of 4098 Raymond Stotzer Parkway who opposed
the rezoning.

Mayor McIlhaney closed the public hearing.
Councilman Maloney made a motion to deny the C-2 rezoning without prejudice to give the applicant the
opportunity to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission with the request for PDD-B zoning. Councilman
Garner seconded the motion, which carried 5-1, with Councilman Hazen absent. .
