(01-181) Applicant: Veronica Morgan of Mitchell & Morgan Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to C-1 or any lesser commercial zoning district, including C-3, A-P, or C-B. Item Summary: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a rezoning request for this property on July 19, 2001 and recommended approval of C-1 zoning to Council. Council denied the rezoning request for C-1 without prejudice at their August 9th meeting. At that time, Council asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission report back to them on the possibility of C-B zoning on this property. The Council also requested that in the future the Commission consider not only the requested zoning, but any lesser zoning districts as well. The applicant is requesting this rezoning in order to prepare the property for future development. The landowner hopes to use the property for a restaurant. C-1 zoning would also allow uses ranging from offices and hotels to retail stores and filling stations. The subject property is located on the east bypass, south of the recently platted Harley Subdivision. The (roughly) 350-ft. by 300-ft. tract is currently zoned A-P Administrative Professional and C-3 Planned Commercial. It is surrounded by undeveloped C-3 and land that has been in an A-O Agricultural Open holding pattern since annexation. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area to be Regional Retail. "Regional Retail" describes areas that permit regional-scale development of tax-generating businesses such as retail centers, service commercial, and restaurants. The Planning staff is currently developing a small area plan for the area bounded by Greens Prairie Rd., Rock Prairie Rd. and SH 6. This property is included in that area. It is not anticipated that the Regional Retail shown on the Land Use Plan in this specific location will change, however. The subject tract is located in an area that is separated and buffered from the overall area by two creeks. During consideration of the present Comprehensive Plan Council specifically directed that the land along the frontage road between these two creeks should be reflected as Regional Retail. The C-1 zoning proposed is consistent with the plan for Regional Retail. R.VqTLTRIPZLTRIPRODIPZ20011PZ05247.DOC Page 1 of4 Created on 07106195 7:56 PM The Thoroughfare plan in this area shows the future Barron Road extension south of the subject property. An extension of Barron Road is planned from SH 6 to Rock Prairie road. This will include a highway interchange. A major north - south collector is planned east of the subject property, parallel to SH 6. This property is located such that it should have little or no impact on the design or construction of either an overpass at Barron Road or the north - south major collector. The subject tract is located north of the future overpass. The MPO currently has the Barron Road interchange listed as the 19th priority in this area. Please be aware that the City is actively pursuing improving the priority level. In either case the design of the overpass is some time in the future with actual construction even further away. A future entrance ramp onto SH 6 will be developed in the vicinity of this tract. While this will have some impact on access to the tract, it will not create the same impacts and safety concerns as an exit ramp (as in the recent A&M Church of Christ CUP). If the access drive to the subject property is in place before the development of the interchange, then the placement of the ramps will be adjusted to the best possible location. Development of this property should not adversely impact the future overpass and the associated ramps. Item Background: This land was annexed into the city in 1983 and rezoned from A-O to C-3 and A-P in 1984. It was part of the same parent tract as the Harley Subdivision, but was not considered in the adopted Harley plat. The Harley property is north of the subject property separated by a 2.5-acre tract, and was rezoned to C-1 in 1998. The Commission approved the preliminary plat for the Harley Subdivision on July 19,2001. The final plat will be reviewed prior to development of the property. Related Board Actions: See Item Summary Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are: 1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted; 2. Recommend approval with physical conditions that will mitigate negative impacts; 3. Recommend a less intense zoning classification (C-3, A-P, C-B); 4. Recommend denial; 5. Table indefinitely; or, 6. Defer action to a specified date. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2.

This line is sufficient for projected land uses. Sewer: Adequate sewer service is provided to the site by an 8-inch sewer line that runs across the front of the property. Streets: State Highway 6 is classified as a Freeway and Expressway. Drainage: Site plan will have to meet the Drainage Ordinance. Flood Plain: Not within 100-year floodplain. Impact Fees: The site is in the Impact Fee water line area 99-01. The current established fee is $500 per Living Unit Equivalent and will be assessed at the time of building permit.

Commissioner Kaiser agreed to this amendment. Commissioner Williams also agreed. The motion carried 6-0. AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a request to rezone 2.497 acres out of the Robert Stevenson Survey League A-54 located at 4121 State Highway 6 South from C-3 Planned Commercial and A-P Administrative-Professional to C-1 General Commercial. (01-181) Staff Planner Jimmerson presented the Staff Report. Ms. Jimmerson stated that staff recommends approval of the C-1 rezoning or any lesser commercial zoning district. She explained that the applicant hopes to use the property for a restaurant, but is requesting the C-1 zoning which would also allow a number of other uses. Ms. Jimmerson further explained that the Land Use Plan shows this area to be Regional Retail. Additionally, she reported that when Council was considering the present Comprehensive Plan, they specifically directed that the land along the frontage road should be reflected as Regional Retail and the C-1 zoning proposed is consistent with this plan. Ms. Jimmerson also pointed out that the subject property was part of the same parent tract as the Harley Subdivision, which was rezoned in 1998 to C-1. She added that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the C-1 zoning to City Council on July 19, 2001, which was denied without prejudice. City Council then asked the Commission to report back to them on the possibility of a C-B zoning for this property. Commissioner Kaiser asked the distance of the nightclub from the subject property. Ms. Jimmerson estimated that there was over 1,000 feet between the two. Commissioner Kaiser also asked if the Land Use Plan depicts all the property along this strip as being commercial. Ms. Jimmerson stated that a Small Area Plan is being created for this area and when it is adopted, the Land Use Plan will be amended, if necessary, for this area. Commission Happ asked how the end lots in this area will be affected if a Baron Road overpass develops. Ms. Jimmerson stated that TXDOT has ranked this overpass as #19 on their priority list. The City is working to improve the interchange's ranking, but at this time it is not yet designed, so it can not be predicted how it will affect the nearby property. Commissioner Kaiser asked if the planning approach should be to rezone the subject property to the most intense district rather than one of the less intense districts, since we do not know how the area will develop. Ms. Jimmerson stated that the Land Use Plan is the City's plan for how the area will develop. She explained that there are two options for the development of this property. The property can develop as it is currently zoned, or the property can be rezoned. The City's major tool for implementing the Land Use Plan is by rezoning property and thereby bringing it into compliance with the Land Use Plan. C-1 and the less intense commercial districts, C-3 and C-B, would be in compliance with the Land Use Plan. Commissioner Kaiser questioned the viability of placing a more intense commercial zoning district that is surrounded on the north and south with less intense commercial zoning districts. Ms. Jimmerson stated that the Land Use Plan shows the area as Retail Regional. To implement the Land Use Plan for this area, it would appropriate to rezone the property to C-1 or one of the less intense commercial districts. If the Commission believes that the current Land Use Plan is not an accurate depiction of the City's vision for the area, then that issue can be addressed through the small area plan that staff is working on for this area. P&Z Minutes September 6, 2001 Page 4 of 7 Commissioner Williams asked what the size restrictions were for a restaurant in a C-3 zoning district. She reported that C-3 allows a restaurant at a maximum of 1500 square feet without a drive-through. Commissioner Happ opened the public hearing. Veronica Morgan, 511 University Drive, spoke in favor of the item and encouraged the Commission to allow the Land Use Plan to control the zoning to bring all property into compliance. She also stated that the adjacent C-3 commercial property was rezoned at a time when the utility infrastructure was not yet able to support more intense development. That is no longer the case. Commissioner Kaiser pointed out that C-3 and C-B would be consistent with the Land Use Plan. Ms. Morgan stated that the current C-3 properties would have been C-1 had the infrastructure been in place at the time. Commissioner Happ closed the public hearing. Commissioner Hawthorne motioned for approval, which was seconded by Commissioner McMath. The motion failed 3-3 with Commissioners Kaiser, Trapani, and Happ voting in opposition. Commissioner Kaiser motioned to rezone to C-3. Commissioner Williams seconded the motion. The motion failed 3-3 with Commissioners Hawthorne, McMath, and Happ voting in opposition. Commissioner Williams motioned to rezone to C-1 or one of the less intense zoning categories of C-3 or C-B. Commissioner Kaiser seconded the motion. The motion failed 2-4 with Commissioners Hawthorne, McMath, Kaiser, and Trapani voting in opposition. AGENDA ITEM NO. 10: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Conditional Use Permit for A&M United Methodist Church located at 300 College Main. (01-173) Staff Planner Reeves presented the Staff Report. She stated that Staff recommends approval with the conditions recommended by the Northgate Review Board (NRB) as follows: (1) that the applicant plant vines on the wrought iron part of the fence, (2) that the proposed tow-away signs be allowed to have a 6" border on top with the Church identification, and 2" border on the sides. Ms. Reeves explained that the proposal is to improve and expand the existing parking lot facilities by replacing the existing gravel parking area with asphalt. She reported that Staff worked extensively with the applicant in regards to issues relating to the driveway access, buffering and adjacent use, and signage. With respect to the Driveway Ordinance, full compliance is not possible. However, the ordinances give the City Engineer, or his designee, the authority to approve variances if engineering's judgement determines that the specific traffic conditions warrant it. The City's Transportation Planner has looked at the driveway access and determined that the proposed plan of only three entrances is a significant improvement and the best possible configuration when compared to the current and already existing six entrances for the parking lot. The applicant, with their proposal of a three-foot brick and wrought-iron fence around the perimeter of the parking lot, has addressed the buffering issue. They also propose to plant a vine on the wrought P&Z Minutes September 6, 2001 Page 5 of 7 Joe Orr, Inc.

Date: August 23, 2002 Email: bmccully@ci.college-station.tx.us Item: Discussion, and possible action on a PRELIMINARY PLAT for the BARKER SUBDIVISION (PP) consisting of 2.45 acres located on the east side of State Highway 6 across from Barron Road. (02-00500170) Applicant: VERONICA MORGAN Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with the condition that the attached Staff Review Comments are addressed. Item Summary: The applicant is proceeding with the platting of this property to allow future development. Up to this point the property has not yet been platted. There are no dedications of easements or rights of way required, the property is not being divided, and there are no infrastructure facilities required. Comprehensive Plan Considerations:: The Land Use Plan shows this area as regional retail, which is consistent with the current C3 zoning of the property. The recently amended Thoroughfare Plan shows the future eastward continuation of Barron Road crossing the property immediately to the north approximately 250 feet away, however it does not affect this property. Parkland Dedication: N/A Open Space Dedication / Greenways: There is a significant amount of floodplain on the property that could be considered for greenways dedication. Bikeways: N/A Item Background: This property was annexed in 1983 and rezoned from the original AO holding zoning to C3 in 1984. The property has not yet been platted. The property immediately to the north was rezoned in 2001 from AP and C-3 to C1. North of that is a small vacant lot and then the Harley Davidson Dealership which is presently under construction. To the south lies the closed Luther landfill, a vacant parcel and then Christ United Methodist Church. To the east is floodplain and property in agricultural use. Budgetary & Financial Summary: This property is subject to Water Impact fees. Due to the commercial nature of the anticipated use, the appropriate fees will be collected from this property at time of Building Permit. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat. The options regarding the final plat are: ■ Approval with conditions; ■ Approval as submitted; ■ Denial; ■ Defer action only at applicant's request; or, ■ Table only at applicant's request.

Date: August 23, 2002 Email: bmccully@ci.college-station.tx.us Item: Discussion, and possible action on a PRELIMINARY PLAT for the BARKER SUBDIVISION (PP) consisting of 2.45 acres located on the east side of State Highway 6 across from Barron Road. (02-00500170) Applicant: VERONICA MORGAN Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with the condition that the attached Staff Review Comments are addressed. Item Summary: The applicant is proceeding with the platting of this property to allow future development. Up to this point the property has not yet been platted. There are no dedications of easements or rights of way required, the property is not being divided, and there are no infrastructure facilities required. Comprehensive Plan Considerations:: The Land Use Plan shows this area as regional retail, which is consistent with the current C3 zoning of the property. The recently amended Thoroughfare Plan shows the future eastward continuation of Barron Road crossing the property immediately to the north approximately 250 feet away, however it does not affect this property. Parkland Dedication: N/A Open Space Dedication / Greenways: There is a significant amount of floodplain on the property that could be considered for greenways dedication. Bikeways: N/A Item Background: This property was annexed in 1983 and rezoned from the original AO holding zoning to C3 in 1984. The property has not yet been platted. The property immediately to the north was rezoned in 2001 from AP and C-3 to C1. North of that is a small vacant lot and then the Harley Davidson Dealership which is presently under construction. To the south lies the closed Luther landfill, a vacant parcel and then Christ United Methodist Church. To the east is floodplain and property in agricultural use. Budgetary & Financial Summary: This property is subject to Water Impact fees. Due to the commercial nature of the anticipated use, the appropriate fees will be collected from this property at time of Building Permit. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat. The options regarding the final plat are: ■ Approval with conditions; ■ Approval as submitted; ■ Denial; ■ Defer action only at applicant's request; or, ■ Table only at applicant's request.
