Existing Zoning NG -3 Proposed Zoning NG -2 Present Use of Property Approximately 40% is currently used as apartments, the remainder is not in use. Proposed Use of Property Of the proposed rezoning area, St. Mary's Church proposes to utilize 60% as a Parking Garage, and the remaining 40% as mixed -use residential, retail, and educational. REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. St. Mary's Catholic Center, in their goal to augment their community services, enlarge their Institute of Catholic Studies, and accommodate their growing number of attendees, plans to construct a new 1,750 - 2000 seat Church, a new Parish Hall, a new Administrative Building, a new Men's Discernment Center, and a new Women's Discernment Center on their existing campus. To facilitate the parking needs for this development in a manner envisioned for the Nothgate District by the City of College Station, St. Mary's also proposes a new approximately 1000 parking space, multi -story, public, parking garage at the north end of its campus. 2. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. This proposed Zone Change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? Compatibility would remain unchanged. This application only proposes to shift the location of a shared border between NG -2 (transitional Northgate) and NG -3 (residential Northgate) districts onto lots currently zoned as NG -3. 10/10 Page 2 of 3 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The request entails rezoning an existing NG -3 property into an NG -2. Per the City of College Station's Unified Development Ordinance section 12 -6.3, Types of Use, this proposed rezoning into NG -2 is suitable because Parking as a primary use is only allowed in NG -2; and, per 12 -6.4, item M, parking as a primary use shall be permitted when all of the parking is located within a multi -level garage. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. The properties proposed for rezoning are currently NG -3 and are suitable for residential developments. However, in light of the recently added and ongoing multiple residential developments at the east end of the Northgate District, the loss of potential residences on these lots to the Northgate community are negligible, and the benefits of adding a new public parking garage close to campus, for use by both visitors and nearby residents alike, are significant. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Although the properties proposed for rezoning are marketable as residential developments appropriate for NG -3, their current drawback lies in their immediate adjacency to an NG -2 transitional district without space for a buffer. The currently proposed rezoning ensures that the closest existing and future residential developments would feature, at a minimum, Cross Street's Right of Way width as a space buffer between existing and future residents NG -3 along a majority of the proposed Parking Garage. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. This proposed Rezoning would enable St. Mary's to develop their new buildings (see list in item1 above) in a manner exemplary with the Urban character intended for the Northgate area, including multi -story projects with minimal setbacks, vertically oriented development, minimal surface parking lots, and a high level of pedestrian activity with an emphasis on walkability and the potential for a unique focus. In addition to providing public parking for the area, the proposed new Parking Garage can also serve as a new gateway to Northgate that reinforces the character of and is visually harmonious with its new development.
