ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST
The following specific adjustment (up to 10 %) from the ordinance requirements is requested: The Callaway
Villa Apartments (CVA) proposes a reduction of 48 parking spaces which reduces the number of
spaces required by City of College Station's UDO by 6 %.
112 — 2 Bedroom Units 1.25 spaces per bed = 280 spaces
480 — 3 & 4 Bedroom Units CO 1 space per bed = 480 spaces
Total Required = (280 + 480) = 760 spaces
Total Proposed = 712 spaces
Section 3 of this submittal package contains a Preliminary Civil Site Plan that illustrates the proposed
parking configuration, drive aisles. and building locations.
This adjustment will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts: Section 3 of this
submittal package further details the following information: CVA proposes to substantially increase
the landscaping over what is required by ordiance. This increased landscaping will be placed along
the Marion Pugh Drive street frontage and dispersed throughout the greenwav corridor "courtyard"
which traverses the property. This enhanced softscape will be a benefit to the general public and
users of CVA. This courtyard will provide a park -like setting within the development. Amenities that
will be offered include a basketball court. sand volleyball courts, and multiple Bar -B-Que Pitts with
benches and picnic areas.
The granting of the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses or the physical
character of the uses in the immediate vicinity because of the following: (1) American Campus Communities
(ACC) has determined, based on ACC's Iona history with development and management of student
housing, that this approximate 1:1 bed to parking ratio will not adversely impact their development,
adiacent thoroughfares, nor neighboring existing developments. These findings are illustrated in the
"Plistorical Parking Summon," provided in Section 2. The proposed parking plan will accommodate
this development, therefore, no on- street parking in adioining neighborhoods is.expectad. (2) The site
is laid out in a manner so as to rapidly disperse traffic throughout the development. Parking is evenly
distributed so the "search" for a parking space will be minimized for tenants and guests. (3) The
Callaway Villa Apartments will provide a positive and reputable development which will benefit the
community and will be an attractive improvement for the area. Section 4 of this report illustrates the
quality. desirable floor plans. and nature of the residences.
6/13103 2 of 2
The granting of the adjustment will be consistent with the purpose and intent of the Unified Development
Ordinance because of the following: (1) On- street parking in adjoining neighborhoods is not anticipated.
(2) Traffic congestion and public safety hazards will be significantly reduced by promoting pedestrian
traffic and other bi -modal traffic. These would include construction of a public sidewalk along Marion
Pugh Drive for public pedestrian traffic. bicycle parking at the Community Center, and connectivity to
the pedestrian cross -walk at Marion Pugh Drive for access to the Callaway House and the Olsen Drive
intersection. (3) Vehicular traffic on Marion Pugh Drive would significantly be improved by the
extension to Holleman Drive. thus increasing pedestrian and bicycle access for existing residential
developments to the south. (4) The CVA development is consistent with the City's desire to promote
high - density residential developments in close proximity to Texas ABM University campus. CVA is
located on an existing TAMU bus route stop which will indirectly encourage its users to use mass -
transit modes of transportation.
