REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION
List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary.
neatly 3 decades, the subject tract has been operated as a medical facility by Scott & White Memorial Hospital
N"). With the opening of the now SW Hospital and relocation of SW personnel to the Medical Comidor, the tract
ds to be repositioned to achieve its highest and best use for the Owner and the City. General commercial
ing supports strong tax generating Industries like retail, restaurants and hotels. The tract is located at the
)way into College Station, and therefore should be zoned In a manner that encourages uses that create regional
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.
Due to the longevity of SW s operation, the Comprehensive Plan designation for the tract has remained
"Institutional /Public ". Because SW has now vacated the facility, this Land Use and Character designation Is no
longer appropriate.
The Owner and Applicant have submitted a Comprehensive Plan Amendment application which is currently being
review by the City. That application aligns directly with this rezoning request.
3 How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
tha n.harnrtPr of the neiahborhood7
requested rezoning will result in uses that are 1) compatible with nearby uses, 2) responsible, and 3)
onable given the tract's location, adjacency to University Drive and State Highway 6, and its size (nearly 4.5
s). Per the UDO, General Commercial zoned properties are those that "provide locations for general
mercial purposes, that is, retail sales and service uses that function to serve the entire community and its
?rs. " This tract is situated In the heart of College Stations restaurant and retail corridor on a light - controlled t
er and is no doubt a superb and well- suited General Commercial tract.

4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
rezoned to General Commercial, the property will be a premier redevelopment site at the main gateway Into
ollege Station. General Commercial zoning will make possible the highest and best use of the property, and will
rrely help attract first- developments that create regional draws and have regional impacts. Zoning the
operty to anything other that General Commercial will limit its potential to becoming a distinctive and renowned
5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
currently zoned, the tract Is unsuitable for redevelopment and reinvestment or for occupancy by medical office
im. Without a rezoning, economic factors and medical use restrictions will ensure the property remains in its
rent state - likely becoming a dark spot on the otherwise bustling University Drive. Even if rezoned to Suburban
mmercial, the tract will be potentially void of reinvestment. Suburban Commercial zoning will limit restaurant
3s to a maximum of 8,000 SF - not nearly large enough fora 4+ acre tract. In short, by keeping the current
Mg designation or applying a designation of Suburban Commercial, the City will fall to realize the intent of the
mprehensive Plan and the great potential for the property.
6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
tract, as currently zoned, is highly unmarketable. Other medical providers will have no use for the facility, as
must restrict the tract against use by other medical providers in order to remain competitive and ensure the
,ess of their now hospital. For other office users, the cost of the land and the function obsolescence of the
ling make it undesirable. The best opportunity for the City and the Owner is incentivize redevelopment and
vestment In the area by allowing those general commercial uses that have major local and regional impacts.
7. List any other reasons to support this zone change.
a successful rezoning, there is no doubt that the property will redevelop and emerge as a premier site that
s regional opportunities for tourism, retail, restaurants, and/or other commerce. The tract, once properly
nod, will create a real opportunity for economic development and a sizeable expansion of the City's tax base.
