As you are aware, this property is located on a major corridor to Texas A&M University, Wellborn Road, and is highly visible from the main corridor to the George Bush Presidential Library, George Bush Drive. The City of College Station has adopted a Streetscape Plan to improve the aesthetic quality of and bring unity and identity to City thoroughfares. It is Staffs interpretation that the Streetscape Ordinance, found in Section 11.3 of the College Station Zoning Ordinance, applies to development that fronts on Wellborn Road adjacent to the railroad right-of-way. This requirement meets the intent of the Streetscape Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and will apply to all developing property along Wellborn Road. This property enjoys the benefits of Wellborn frontage, including high visibility, and must comply with all applicable regulations for properties with thoroughfare frontage, including the Streetscape Ordinance and parking screening.
