FOR: Mayor White, Mayor ProTem Mcllhaney, Maloney and Stewart AGAINST: None ABSENT: Crompton, Massey and Ruesink August 6, 2008 Regular Agenda Rezoning for 3227 Rock Prairie Road West To: Glenn Brown, City Manager From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on an ordinance rezoning 2.04 acres from A-O Agricultural Open to C-2 Commercial-Industrial for the property located at 3227 Rock Prairie Road West generally located south of the Williamsgate Subdivision and 2,000 feet west of the intersection with Wellborn Road. Recommendation (s): The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning at their July 17th meeting. Staff also recommended approval. Summary: The subject request was analyzed for compliance with the review criteria for a rezoning as stated in the Unified Development Ordinance as follows: REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The applicant has a Comprehensive Plan Amendment request pending that seeks to amend the property from Single Family Residential Medium Density to Industrial / R&D. If that request is granted, this rezoning request will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The subject property is part of the Rock Prairie West Business Park subdivision. Portions of the subdivision have already developed as C-2 uses. To the north of Rock Prairie Road West, a Minor Arterial, the 20- acre Williamsgate subdivision is currently under development. The proposed zoning will require compliance with the Non-Residential Architecture Standards. 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed amendment would allow a number of commercial-industrial uses that are appropriate for this area with its association with the remaining business park subdivision. 4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The subject property is currently zoned A-O Agricultural Open and could develop with A-O uses. The subject property is located along a minor arterial, has a pending Industrial / R&D Comprehensive Plan Amendment and is adjacent to land already designated Industrial / R&D. Though A-O uses could develop in the short-term, they are not likely to be suitable in the, long-term for this 2 acre property that is part of a platted commercial subdivision. 5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The applicant is seeking to develop a veterinarian clinic and animal boarding facility and the proposed request is a step in the process to develop the property as such. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The City of College Station will provide the subject property with sewer service as it is located within the Steeplechase Sewer Impact Fee area. The property will obtain water service from Wellborn Water and electrical service from BTU. The property will access Rock Prairie Road West, a Minor Arterial that is not yet built to that standard.
