SLIDE 1 (SAM)
Good evening, I'm Natalie Ruiz.
The rezoning request before you tonight is for a new development located
along the south side of Graham Road east of Cypress Grove Intermediate
School. The proposal is to rezone 91.9 acres from A-O Agricultural Open to
R-1 Single Family Residential. The request also includes a 7.2 acre tract
from A-O to A-P Administrative Professional. The 7.2 acre tract is the
entire Graham Road frontage.

SLIDE 2 (Comp Plan)
Staff is recommending approval of rezoning the entire tract to R-1 Single
Family including the requested strip of A-P Administrative Professional
zoning along Graham Road. The R-1 zoning is in compliance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. The A-P portion of the request is not in
compliance with the Land Use Plan or the City's Development Policies. The
Comprehensive Plan discourages strip development.
The applicant is proposing several conditions to help mitigate the impacts of
the proposed A-P development. Even with the conditions, staff cannot
support the strip of A-P zoning and is recommending that the entire tract be
rezoned to R-1 single family.
SLIDE 3 (Commission Action Options)
Here are your options in considering the request. We have received no calls
either in favor or in opposition. I'll be glad to answer any questions.

Item Title
To: Tom Brynner, City Manager
From: Kelly Templin, Director of Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning for the
Neeley Subdivision located along south side of Graham Road east of Cypress Grove
Intermediate School from A-O Agricultural Open to R-1 Single Family. (03-00500007)
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the R-1 Single Family zone
request.
Summary: Previously the applicant requested that 7.187 acre's of the 99 acre tract be
zoned to A-P Administrative Professional and the remainder to be zoned R-1 Single
Family. February 6, 2003 the Planning & Zoning Commission denied the A-P portion of
their request, given that it did not meet the Land Use Plan for this area, however
recommended approval for the entire tract be rezoned to R-1 Single Family. Since that
time the applicant has changed the request to have the entire 99 acre tract be rezoned
to R-1 Single Family, which is in compliance with the City's Land Use Plan.
The property to the east is zoned A-O Agricultural Open and has a Single Family
Dwelling on it, the property to the south is zoned as A-O Agricultural Open and R-1
Single Family and is developed as such. The property to the west is zoned A-O
Agricultural Open and developed as Oak Grove Middle School.

Item: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning for the
Neeley Subdivision located along south side of Graham Road east of Cypress
Grove Intermediate School from A-O Agricultural Open to R-1 Single Family and
A-P Administrative Proffessional. (03-00500007)
Applicant: Tony Jones
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the R-1 Single Family
Rezoning, however staff cannot support the A-P Administrative Professional.
Item Summary: The applicant is proposing to rezone a 91.991 acre tract from A-
O Agricultural Open to R-1 Single Family and a 7.187 acre tract from A-O
Agricultural Open to A-P Administrative Professional. Both tracts are currently
undeveloped. The 7.187 acre tract will front Graham Road, which is considered a
Major Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan.
The property to the east is zoned A-O Agricultural Open and has a Single Family
Dwelling on it, the property to the south is zoned as A-O Agricultural Open and
R-1 Single Family and is developed as such. The property to the west is zoned
A-O Agricultural Open and developed as Oak Grove Middle School.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows the subject
property and surrounding properties as Single Family Medium Density (3-6
Dwelling Units Per Acre). The proposed R-1 Single Family on the 91.991 acre
tract is in compliance with the Land Use Plan and staff will support this portion of
the rezoning.
The proposed 7.187acre tract to be rezoned to A-P Administrative Professional
does not comply with the Land Use Plan, and would result in a strip commercial
pattern along Graham Road. According to the City of College Station
Comprehensive Plan:
(Section 2.03 Land Use Goal and Objectives) Objective 1.3 - College
Station should continue to avoid strip commercial development (such as
that along Texas Avenue) and encourage centralized commercial
development which encourages multi-model access (i.e. by-cycles,
pedestrians and motor vehicles).
Therefore, staff is recommending denial of this portion of the rezoning. The
recommendation from staff is to rezone the 99.178 acre tract to R-1 Single
Family.

Item Summary: The applicant is proposing to rezone a 91.991-acre tract
from A-O Agricultural Open to R-1 Single Family and a 7.187-acre tract from
A-O Agricultural Open to A-P Administrative Professional. The Planning and
Zoning Commission and Staff are recommending approval of rezoning the
entire tract to R-1 Single Family including the requested strip of A-P
Administrative Professional zoning along the Graham Road frontage.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the City limits in
December of 1993 and has not been platted.

Density (3-6 Dwelling Units Per Acre). The proposed R-1 Single Family on
the 91.991-acre tract is in compliance with the Land Use Plan.
The 7.187-acre tract proposed as A-P Administrative Professional does not
comply with the Land Use Plan and would result in a strip commercial
pattern along Graham Road. According to the City of College Station
Comprehensive Plan:
(Section 2.03 Land Use Goal and Objectives) Objective 1.3 - College
Station should continue to avoid strip commercial development (such
as that along Texas Avenue) and encourage centralized commercial

zoning for the entire 99.178-acre tract.
