Planning and Zoning Commission
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
February 6, 2003
7. Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning from A-O
Agricultural Open to R-1 Single Family Residential and A-P Administrative
Professional for the Neeley Subdivision located along the south side of
Graham Road east of Cypress Grove Intermediate School. (03-07)
Development Review Manager Ruiz presented the Staff Report. Ms. Ruiz stated
that Staff recommends approval of the R-1 zoning but does not support the A-P
zoning because of non-compliance to the City's Comprehensive Plan. She
recommended that the entire tract be rezoned as R-1.
The applicant, Tony Jones, presented the Commission with a proposal regarding
buffering, parking, landscaping and ingress/egress to the site.
Kelly Templin, Director of Development Services stated that Staff defers to the
Comprehensive Plan when making planning decisions. He added that the
proposed 7.187-acre tract to be rezoned to A-P does not comply with the Land
Use Plan and would result in a strip commercial pattern along Graham Road.
Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing.
There was some further discussion regarding parking, utility easements and
lighting. Zoning policies were discussed and distinguished from that along the
bypass.
Chairman Floyd closed the public hearing.
Commissioner McMath motioned to approve the Site Plan as requested by the
applicant with a 10' easement. Commissioner White seconded the motion.

proposed by the applicant with a 10'easement failed 4-2.
