Home My WebLink AboutMisc. Project Presentation COLLEGE STATION The City Council has implemented a policy whereby applicants and developers are expected to present their case to the Council. This policy will primarily affect requests for rezonings and ordinance amendments. The Council will first hear a brief presentation by staff. Next, the applicant and /or developer will make their presentation. The public hearing will be opened after the applicant's presentation. Please be aware that the Planning and Zoning Commission has implemented a similar policy. Applicants and developers, who have a project before the Commission, will present their case to the Commission after the staff presentation. This policy will apply to almost all items on the regular agenda before the Commission, including rezonings, ordinance amendments, master plans, plats and conditional use permits. Again, for those items requiring a public hearing, the applicant and or developer will be able to make their presentation prior to the opening of the public hearing. Applicants with an item on the consent agenda should be prepared to answer questions if the item is pulled off of the consent agenda. This information is supplied to applicants with the intent to provide guidance as to the content of the applicant's portion of the project presentation to the Council and /or the Planning and Zoning Commission. This is an opportunity for the applicant and /or developer to explain the purpose of their request, to present a counter viewpoint or to stress the advantages of their proposal. Special consideration should be given to addressing the reasons for any variances requested. Following is a list of items applicants should be prepared to discuss during their presentation to the Council and /or the Planning and Zoning Commission (grouped by type of request). All the suggested items may not apply to each case. Several of the bullet points are key phrases referring to additional information that can be found in the City's Code of Ordinances and /or the City's Comprehensive Plan. There may be some overlap between the staff and the applicant's presentations. If equipment, such as easels, PowerPoint, etc., is necessary for the presentation please fill out the attached request form and return it to staff at least 3 working days prior to the meeting.

Box 3135 College Station, TX 77841 via facsimile @ 680.0173 and via regular mail re: Lot 4, Block 1 Melrose Subdivision College Station, Texas Dear Mr. Jaffar: On March 12, 1998, the City Council rezoned the above referenced property from R -5 Apartment/Medium Density to PDD -B Planned Development District — Business (Ordinance No. 2315). Since that time, the City of College Station has not received any applications for the development of this land until your request for a rezoning from PDD -B to R -5 was received on August 21, 2002. In regards to PDD rezonings, Section 7.25.M of the Zoning Ordinance states: The Concept Plan shall expire and the zoning shall revert to the previous zoning classification that existed on the affected properties prior to the PDD rezoning if further development action has not been apparent within 24 months of the effective date of the PDD Ordinance. As there have been no submittals to the City to further the development of the land in over 53 months, the land has reverted back to previous zoning of R -5, in accordance with Section 7.25.M of the Zoning Ordinance. The zoning for the subject property will be updated on the official Zoning Map. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at 764 -3570.
