Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
April 1, 2004
7. Public hearing, discussion and possible action to consider
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance by city initiated
rezoning applying an overlay zone imposing additional
requirements to properties along Krenek Tap Road for a
depth of 750'. (04 -41)
City Planner Key presented the Staff Report. She explained that
the Commission took action last month to impose the overlay
and that consideration tonight is for zoning in order to apply the
overlay district. Ms. Kee displayed a photo outline of the area
that would be affected. She reminded the Commission of the
design regulations and items discussed at their previous meeting
where they voted to add language to the UDO (Unified
Development Ordinance) that will allow flexibility for existing
structures when being enlarged or modified. In addition, the
DRB (Design Review Board) would be allowed to approve
materials other than the standard if doing so would allow the
new construction to be more compatible with existing materials.
At least 25% of the facade facing Krenek should contain
materials meeting the standard.
Commissioner Davis clarified the fencing requirements.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
Jim Stewart, Waterwood Townhomes developer, expressed some
concerns about the proposed design criteria. Ms. Kee clarified
the criteria, explaining that his development would not be
affected by the ordinance amendment since his development is
an interior property and approved under the previous ordinance.
She added that the overlay addresses the front facades of
structures on Krenek Tap Road.
A brief discussion regarding signage ensued.
Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing. Commissioner
Trapani motioned to approve the amendment, which was
seconded by Commissioner Davis. The motioned carried 6 -0.
FOR: Shafer, Trapani, Davis, Hall, Reynolds, and Williams.
