Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
October 16, 2003
10. Public hearing, discussion and possible action on the F &B Small Area Plan.
Study area includes 213 acres generally located between Turkey Creek Road,
Harvey Mitchell Parkway north of Raymond Stotzer. (03 -192)
Staff Planner Fletcher opened his presentation by recognizing Commissioners
White, Williams and Reynolds for their efforts in this endeavor. He explained the
public input process which included meetings with Texas A &M University and
the City of Bryan. Mr. Fletcher displayed visuals of the subject area pointing out
the boundaries of the study area. A discussion of the proximity of the area and
issues of concern followed. Mr. Fletcher explained that the purpose of the plan is
to project future land uses and evaluate thoroughfare plan issues. Because a
significant portion of the study area is in the extra - territorial jurisdiction and may
be considered for annexation in the future, City planners will use the finding of
this planning effort to develop further land use assumptions and project
anticipated utility needs. Through the F &B Small Area Plan, Staff will seek to
address the following objectives:
♦ Revise /assign future land uses
♦ Evaluate /assign thoroughfare classifications
♦ Develop scenarios and projections for water distribution and sewer capacity
In addition, Mr. Fletcher pointed out the primary planning considerations for this
study area as the following:
♦ Gateways
♦ Land uses and aircraft approaches for Easterwood Airport
♦ Utility service area boundaries
♦ Integration of the Traditions development in Bryan
Commissioner Davis asked Mr. Fletcher to clarify access easements on F &B
Road.
Chairman Shafer asked about park space for the area. Mr. Fletcher explained that
parks were not shown on the land use plan for the area but stated that if residential
areas develop and mature in the area, parkland will then come into play.
Commissioner White commended the Staff on the F &B Small Area Plan, stating
that Texas A &M University's long range planning makes it difficult to embark on
this type of project.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
Because no citizen comments were made, Chairman Shafer closed the public
hearing.
Commissioner White motioned to approve the F &B Small Area Plan.
Commissioner Reynolds seconded the motion. The motion carried 7 -0.
FOR: Shafer, Trapani, Williams, White, Hall, Reynolds and Davis.
