INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: A 12" waterline exists along Highway 30. It will need to be extended
along F. M. 158 with the final plat of Lot 1.
Sewer: An 8" sewerline exists across Highway 30 and will need to be
extended under Highway 30 into the subdivision with the final plats.
Streets: Highway 30 and F. M. 158 are major arterials which have the capacity
to serve the full build -out of the zoning. These roadways are maintained by
TXDot,- there will be a widening project along F. M. 158 in the near future.

STAFF REPORT
Item: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Super B Subdivision located on the
northwest corner of F.M. 158 and Highway 30 to allow a convenience store and service
station. (99-115)
Applicant: Sanh Trinh
Supporting Materials:
1. Location Map
2. Application
3. Infrastructure and Facilities
4. Copy of site plan
5. Staff review comments No. 2
Item Summary: The subject property is located at the immediate intersection of
Highway 158 and Highway 30, both of which are considered major arterials.
Land Use Plan: The Land Use Plan shows the entire area bound by Highway 30,
Highway 158, Highway 60, and the former TI property as Rural Density
Residential. Recent rezoning discussions for property in this area of the City
have revealed changes in the area that are pending in the near future, including
a proposed medical office/residential subdivision in Bryan north of Highway 60
and a TXDOT widening project for Highway 158.
The City of College Station has yet to refine its Land Use Plan relative to the
area currently shown as rural density residential. The area is largely
undeveloped and therefore the utilities are inadequate to most of the tracts,
including the subject tract. It is likely that most of the strip between Highways 60
and 30 will develop as some type of commercial, commerciallndustrial, or light
industrial. Highway 158 provides an entrance into both College Station and
Bryan, and may therefore be a candidate for special land use classifications with
perhaps an overlay district to promote an aesthetically pleasing corridor. The
City Economic Development Department is currently working with consultants to
define the scope of work for an area plan in this part of the City.
Item Background: The subject property was rezoned to C -B earlier this year with the
condition that the building height not exceed 35' and that there be a buffer easement that
meets R&D requirements between the subject property and any adjacent A -O property.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: The City's Subdivision Regulations require public
water and sewer extensions to and through properties and that they be sized such that
future development can tie on to the lines. Oversize participation requests are
anticipated with the final plats.
Staff Recommendations: Section 14 of the Zoning Ordinance authorizes the existence
of conditional uses. The Commission may permit a conditional use subject to
appropriate conditions and safeguards, when after public notice and hearing the
Commission finds that: (Staff comments are in italics)
1. "The proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the
ordinance for the type of use proposed." Staff conducted a technical review and found
general compliance with development regulations with the exception of the items listed
in Staff Comments No.2.
2. "That the proposed use meets the purpose and intent of the ordinance and is in
harmony with the development policies and goals and objectives as embodied in the
Comprehensive Plan for Development of the City." The PnZ has yet to determine
whether this location is suitable for the proposed use.
3. "That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety
of the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, nor be substantially or permanently
injurious to neighboring property." The public hearing is an opportunity for the
Commission to measure the potential impact on surrounding land uses.
"The Commission may impose additional reasonable restrictions or conditions to carry
out the spirit and intent of the ordinance and to mitigate adverse effects of the proposed
use. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, increased open space,
loading and parking requirements, additional landscaping, and additional improvements
such as curbing, sidewalks and screening."
Unless the public hearing brings to light any new information indicating potential
negative impacts, Staff recommends approval with Staff Review Comments No. 2.
