Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
September 18, 2003
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a
rezoning from A -O Agricultural Open and R-1 Single Family Residential to A -P
Administrative Professional and R -1 for the Henry Kapchinski property consisting
of 20.82 acres located at the southern corner of North Forest Parkway and the Earl
Rudder Freeway frontage road. (03 -209)
Staff Planner Hitchcock presented the Staff Report, recommending approval of the
rezoning with the condition that the floodway /floodplain not be rezoned. She added that
the Land Use Plan for this area was amended earlier this year as part of the Mixed Use
Study. She reported that the plan reflects Single Family residential Medium Density, and
discussions during the amendment process with the P &Z and City Council indicate that
Office would also be in harmony with the environment for the frontage area of North
Forest Parkway/Earl Rudder Freeway.
Discussion followed regarding buffering requirements and the FEMA designated
floodplain area that is not to be rezoned. Ms. Hitchcock clarified the 100 -year floodplain
line.
There was a question about the placement of the curb cut. Ms. Hitchcock explained that
if the curb cut met the ordinance requirements, it would be allowed, whether it be on
North Forest Parkway or Earl Rudder Freeway.
