HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Molly Hitchcock Reporting Date: May 11, 2005 Email: mhitchcock @cstx.gov Meeting Date: May 19, 2005 Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Master Plan for Crescent Pointe consisting of 192.64 acres and located between FM 60 and SH 30, across from Linda Lane. (03 -044) Applicant: John Hamilton Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Master Plan. Item Summary: In March 2003, the Planning & Zoning Commission approved a Master Development Plan for Crescent Pointe. One preliminary and one final plat (One American Plaza) from that plan were approved in April 2003. With no other platting activity, the Master Development Plan expired in April 2004. The applicant has submitted a new Master Plan that is identical to what was previously adopted. It proposes a planned development with multiple uses. The mix of uses will include (approximately) 55 acres for a convention center, 19 acres of office /commercial, 34 acres of office, 17 acres of commercial, 40 acres of apartment, and 14 acres of apartment/townhouse. While a new hotel /conference center is no longer anticipated at this location, regional retail and office uses would still be appropriate. The land is currently zoned C -1 General Commercial and M -1 Light Industrial. It is abutted by undeveloped land to the east and university land to the west. Across FM 60 is the Park Hudson development in Bryan. South of this property, across SH 30, is undeveloped land and a townhouse community at the corner of Linda Lane and SH 30. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows the subject area to be Mixed Use. The 30/60 Study states that emphasis should be on "uses such as office, commercial, clean industrial, and higher density single family and multi - family housing ". The City has completed the extension of Copperfield Drive, a major collector, and is currently constructing the two major collectors. Item Background: This property was annexed into the city in 1979. It was included in the 30/60 Area study that updated the Comprehensive Plan for this region. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The proposed master development plan will be considered by the Parks Board at their March 4, 2003 meeting. Their recommendation will be available at the P &Z meeting. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the master plan. The options regarding the master plan are: • Approve with conditions; • Approve as submitted; • Deny; • Defer action; or • Table. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Copy of Master Plan Notification: None required. Attachments: 1. Small Area map 2. Aerial 3. Application 4.
