Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
November 4, 2004
4. Public hearing, consideration, discussion, and possible action on a variance
request to Section 8.12 of the Subdivision Regulations and consideration of a
Preliminary Plat for Spring Creek Gardens consisting of 52 residential lots
on 14.024 acres at 4300 SH-6 South, approximately V2 mile north of Greens
Prairie Road, west of SH-6. (04-210)
Staff Planner Molly Hitchcock presented the staff report and stated that staff is
recommending approval of variance and Preliminary Plat. The property was
rezoned to PDD earlier this year for single-family and for C-1 General
Commercial. The Commercial property is shown as a reserve tract on this
preliminary plat. The plat conforms to the PDD concept plan approved by the
Design Review Board. The 3.7 dwelling units per acre, is within the limits of the
Land Use Plan. Parkland has been dedicated and the development fee will be due
upon Final Plat. The blocks extend approximately 13-feet beyond the minimum
1200-feet allowed by the Subdivision Regulations. The developer has proposed
access ways that encourage pedestrian movement, but a variance to the actual
block length is necessary for the plat to proceed.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
Wallace Phillips, the developer, stepped before the Commission. Mr. Phillips
spoke in favor of the variance and Preliminary Plat.
Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing.
Commissioner White made the motion to approve the block length variance.
Commissioner Fedora seconded the motion, which passed (6-0).
FOR: White, Fedora, Shafer, Reynolds, Hooton & Nichols
