Item: A rezoning for the College Station Medical Center from R -4 Multi - Family
and A -O Agricultural Open to C -1 General Commercial, consisting 25.44 located
at 1604 Rock Prairie Road.
Applicant: Rabon Metcalf Engineering as agent for College Station Hospital,
L.P.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary: The C -1 zoning request will bring the existing hospital land use
into compliance with the Unified Development Ordinance.
The property, which extends back to Birmingham Road, is abutted by developed
and undeveloped commercial to the east, undeveloped land to the south and
west, and College Station Utilities and Southwood Valley Athletic Complex to the
west.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The proposal is in compliance with the
Land Use Plan, which shows the property to be Institutional. The site fronts onto
Rock Prairie Road, which is a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan and abuts
Birmingham, a minor collector. Any future additions to the property will require a
dedication of the minor collector that is shown on the Thoroughfare Plan to run
along the western border of the property.
Item Background: The main, 25 -acre portion of the subject property was
annexed into the city in 1982, platted in 1985, and a Conditional Use Permit and
site plan granted for a hospital in 1985. Additions to the hospital were site
planned in 1992, 1996, 1999, and 2001. The rear 0.44 acres was annexed in
1993.
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 less intense zoning classification;
3. Recommend denial;
4. Table indefinitely; or,
5. Defer action to a specified date.
