The PDD rezoning for Spring Creek was passed with the understanding that a "welcoming pedestrian environment" would be created and that Common Area No. 2 would be an attractive, landscaped entrance to the Spring Creek neighborhood and to the residential portion of the greater tract. As this plan does not meet the spirit of the rezoning, please remove the wooden fence shown three feet behind the sidewalk. Please show the extent of landscaping that will be involved and other fencing proposals. Reviewed by: Molly Hitchcock Date: August 6, 2003 ENGINEERING 1. No comments at this time.

Page 2 of 2 MEMORANDUM December 12, 2002 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Molly Hitchcock Email: mhitchcock @ci.college - station.tx.us SUBJECT: Rezoning For Spring Creek Townhomes (Crowley) (REZ) This item must be removed from the table before it may be reconsidered. Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a rezoning from R -3 Townhouse and A -O Agricultural Open to PDD -H Planned Development District - Housing for 16.316 acres of the Robert Stevenson Survey A -54 located 1 /2 mile north of Greens Prairie Rd., west of SH 6. (02 -225) Applicant: Wallace Phillips for Spring Creek CS Development, Ltd. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning as proposed. Item Summary: The Commission considered the rezoning at the November 14, 2002 meeting and tabled the item so staff and the applicant would be able to further discuss the proposal. After alterations were made to the proposal, staff feels the benefits to the community proportionately relate to the meritorious modifications requested. The applicant has proposed approximately 12% of the total area to be dedicated common areas. These areas, which include the entrance of the neighborhood from Oxburgh Drive, will be landscaped and /or left as grass. In addition, five feet of the properties along Decatur Drive and the entrance into the neighborhood along Heath Drive will be dedicated streetscape easements to be maintained by the homeowners association. Also, six -foot sidewalks are proposed to connect neighborhood parking areas and cul -de -sacs with other areas of the Crowley tract, and the neighborhood parking lot with another section of the neighborhood. Staff feels the pedestrian environment has become more welcoming in the new proposal, especially as it relates to movement along Decatur. To accomplish this, the developer has requested meritorious modifications to parking in the right -of -way, setbacks, and the ability to plat two adjacent lots instead of three in one area as shown on the concept plan. 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 a Tess intense zoning classification; 3. Recommend denial; 4. Table indefinitely; or, 5. Defer action to a specified date. Attachments: 1.
