Project Manager: Trey Fletcher, AICP — Senior Planner

Email: tletcher@cstx.gov
Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a REZONING
consisting of two (2) lots on 14.57 acres generally located in the 3800 Block of
F &B Road from a combination of R -1, Single- family Residential, C -1, General
Commercial, and A -O, Agricultural -Open to C -1, General Commercial.
Applicant: James Jett, agent for Mary Feltner Futrell; and Patricia Jones
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
Item Summary:
The applicants are requesting both parcels to be rezoned C -1, General
Commercial in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. A substantial portion of
one parcel is already zoned C -1 (1999). The purpose of the request is to bring
the balance of this parcel and the adjacent parcel into compliance with the Plan.
Both property owners are under contract to sell the property.
The developer wishes to establish a mini - storage warehouse facility in two
phases on both parcels. Neither parcel is platted at this time.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
The zoning change to C -1 is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The
Land Use Plan for this area was updated through the F &B Small Area Plan,
adopted by Ordinance by the City Council in last year. Located near the
southeast corner of FM 2818 and F &B Road, both parcels are shown for
Regional Retail on the Land Use Plan. The Plan also shows Floodplains /
Streams on the western parcel, but is not shown on the Greenways Master Plan.
The Thoroughfare Plan shows F &B Road as a Major Collector. At the present
time the road does not meet City of College Station road standards.
The parcels are bounded by undeveloped property to the east and south.
Property to the west is owned by TAMU and is primarily undeveloped. Near the
road is a facility used by the TAMU Polo Team. Property located on the north of
F &B Road is also owned by TAMU and is used by Parson's Mounted Calvary. A
single - family residence exists on the western parcel that, according to the
applicant would remain until such time the owner moves or is deceased.

Annexed: The parcels were annexed in February 1970 and November 2004.
Rezoned: The eastern parcel was rezoned to C -1, General Commercial with
conditions in 1999. The application was originally for C -2, Commercial - Industrial
in support of a warehouse /distribution facility.
Platted: Neither parcel has been platted.
Development activity in the vicinity: This property is adjacent to property that
would be part of the Aggie Field of Honor (AFOH), if it becomes a reality. The
proposal is for the Field of Honor to take access off of F &B Road. As such the
development would be adjacent to the main entrance for the AFOH. Negotiations
are ongoing with TAMU and an additional private property owner at this time to
purchase the land for the AFOH.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: None Required.
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 denial;
3. Table indefinitely; or,
4. Defer action to a specified date.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: There is an 18" water line stubbed out on the west side of FM
2818. The line would need to be extended by the developer.
Sewer: No city sanitary sewer is available in the area. The developer
intends to accommodate this onsite with onsite septic systems.
Streets: F &B Road is designated as a Major Collector on Thoroughfare
Plan. Prior to October 2003, the road was not classified. The condition of
the road varies. Portions of the road in the City are in poorer condition
than that in the County. County portions were improved to their present
condition 2 -3 years ago.
Off -site Easements: None are known to be necessary at this time.
Drainage: An unnamed channel flows from north to south across the
middle of the parcels. The channel has been altered to create a series of
ponds.
Flood Plain: According to Panel 143C (July 2, 1992) portions of the
parcels are shown as Flood Zone A., and no base flood elevations have
been determined.
Oversize request: None requested at this time.
Impact Fees: None
