She added that an approved site plan and all the necessary permits were obtained in order to begin construction.

(02 -174) Staff Planner Reeves presented the Staff Report. Ms. Reeves stated that Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. She pointed out the location of the subject property and explained that it consists of 5.36 acres, which is currently zoned A -O, Agricultural Open. Ms. Reeves explained that the applicant is requesting that 3.86 acres, which is undeveloped at this time and fronts Highway 30, be rezoned to A -P, Administrative Professional, while the remaining 1.5 acre tract be zoned R -1, Single Family Residential. She added that the site is located in Sub -area 7B in the 30/60 Area Planning Study that was adopted in April 2001. The appropriate uses for the area, according to the 30/60 Study are commercial, office /service, and higher density single family. Specific land use conflicts and impacts were being addressed through the PDD review and approval process. However, the PDD ordinance has changed since its adoption and should not be used to guarantee specific site or building characteristics. In closing, Ms. Reeves stated that Staff feels that the proposed zoning is in compliance with the 30/60 Study. She also reminded the Commission on an earlier policy decision that was made which allows this type of use in this area. According to the City's legal counsel, the policy issue did not require the approval of the City Council. Therefore, the Commission could apply this policy as seen fit. Approval of the A -P rezoning is P&Z Minutes September 19, 2002 Page 2 of 7 MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS September 19, 2002 7:00 P.M.
