REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. The property has frontage on a major thoroughfare that makes it attractive to commercial type developments. In addition, TxDOT has initiated a plan to upgrade Wellborn Road to provide improved traffic conditions and access to commercial developments already in and coming to the area. Additional ROW has been obtained and utilities have been relocated/upgraded in advance of these improvements. With the growth occurring south of College Station and along Wellbom Road as well as this location, commercial use of the property is the most logical and beneficial use. 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. Yes, the requested zoning 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? Traditional residential development along a major arterial such as Wellborn Road will not comply with the current rural zoning. The property is currently noncomplying with the requirements of rural zoning and the area surrounding this site is beginning to become more commercialize. Wellborn Road is a major thoroughfare with a major intersection with WD Fitch, located adjacent to the site, resulting in the area no longer being suitable for residential development. The proposed commercial zoning classification will allow the property to develop commercially while still being compatible with nearby residential characteristics. 10/10 Page 2 of 3 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. Commercial types of development are traditionally along major thoroughfares and arterials such as Wellborn Road. Having a major intersection adjacent to the property adds to the marketability for commercial types of development. In addition, the existing heavily wooded undergrowth along with well- established oaks trees will allow the required buffer zones to be left uncleared and provide a natural delineation between the proposed development and the existing residential structures along the shared rear lot lines. This buffer along with the architectural. requirements of the the proposed zoning will allow for commercial activities while preserving nearby residential character. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. The undesirable frontage on a major thoroughfare has and will continue to suppress residential development on this property. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. There is no market for the property as it is currently zoned. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct, and complete. IF THIS APPLICATION IS FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, this application must be accompanied by a power of attorney statement from the owner. If there is more than one owner, all owners must sign the application or the power of attorney. If the owner is a company, the application must be accompanied by proof of authority for the company's representative to sign the application on its behalf.
