Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka Date: June 23, 2004
Email: jprochazka @cstx.gov
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance for a City
initiated rezoning from C -2 Commercial - Industrial to R -1 Single - Family
Residential for Lots 27 -34 and Lots 38 -45 of Block 2, Pasler Subdivision, located
west of Pasler Street, south of Gilbert Street and east of Turner Street. (04 -144)
Applicant: City of College Station
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval the rezoning.
Item Summary: It recently came to our attention that there is a small portion of
property in the residential area north of Lincoln Avenue that is zoned C -2
Commercial - Industrial. According to the Comprehensive Plan and City
development policies, this area is not appropriate for C -2 zoning or the types of
uses that are allowed within in the district.
In order to preserve the integrity of the neighborhood, the City would like to
initiate rezoning of these properties to R -1 Single - Family Residential to be more
compatible with the surrounding area, which is developed as single - family
housing.
The subject property consists of 16 lots. There are two existing single - family
homes on the properties. Because of size constraints and ownership history,
approximately 6 more homes could be constructed on these properties.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates this area
for redevelopment. At this time the only desirable redevelopment of this area
would be single family homes. The Thoroughfare Plan designates Lincoln
Avenue as a major collector and University Drive as a major arterial.
Item Background: The property was annexed in 1951 and zoned for single -
family residential development at that time. Sometime before 1972 (the oldest
zoning map that we have on record) the property was rezoned to commercial -
industrial and a cafe and neighborhood store were developed on a portion of the
property. The only current use on the property is single - family residential. The
property was subdivided and recorded with the County before the City of College
Station had subdivision regulations in place.
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:

Pasler Rezoning (04 -144)
Good Evening, Jennifer Prochazka, Staff Planner
SAM: Staff has initiated rezoning of a small group of lots in the
Pasler subdivision that are currently zoned C -2 Commercial
Industrial.
In order to preserve the integrity of the neighborhood, we would
recommend rezoning of these properties to R -1 Single - Family
Residential to be more compatible with the surrounding area, which
is developed as single - family housing.
LUP: According to the Comprehensive Plan and the City's
development policies, this area is not appropriate for C -2 zoning or
the types of uses that are allowed within in the district.
The Land Use Plan designates this area for redevelopment. At this
time the only desirable redevelopment of this area would be single
family homes.
I have received several calls in favor of the rezoning.
Any questions?
