STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Flanery Date: August 6, 2002 Email: jflanery@ci.college-station.tx.us Item: Discussion and possible action on a PRELIMINARY PLAT for the CALLAWAY HOUSE PARKING SUBDIVISION, 1.376 acres located along Marion Pugh Drive. (02-157) Applicant: GREG TAGGART, MDG Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with Staff Comments #2. Item Summary: The applicant is platting the property to allow for the construction of an extra parking lot for the residents of the Callaway House dormitory. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, but allows for all C-1 General Commercial uses on the property. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area as residential attached. The proposed use is parking for a residential dormitory and, as an accessory use, is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Thoroughfare Plan shows Marion Pugh as a Major Collector. The right-of- way requirement for a Major Collector is 70-feet. Due to the fact that the existing right-of-way is 60-feet, the applicant is required to dedicate half of the needed right-of-way, which is 5-feet. The Subdivision Regulations require that sidewalks be constructed along both sides of a Major Collector. The applicant will be required to meet this requirement at the site plan stage. The Callaway House dormitory was built in 1998. Item Background: The property was annexed in to the City and zoned Industrial in 1958. The property is currently zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial, but is also permitted to have C-1 uses. When the property was originally zoned to M-2 the zoning classification also included C-1 uses. In 1984 an amendment was made to the Zoning Ordinance that prohibited C-1 uses in M-2 zones, however, this property was specifically exempted from the exclusion of C-1 uses in an M-2 zone and currently allows the General Commercial uses. Dormitories and their accessory uses, such as parking lots, and public parking lots are permitted uses in C-1 General Commercial.
