REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary.
The Medical District has introduced more urban land uses to the general area including major infrastructure
improvements. The extension of public sewer to the subject property through this development allows for a more
dense pattern of development fronting Rock Prairie Road. In addition, there is a market for age restricted housing
and this location near a medical hub, shopping, retail and restaurants is an ideal location for this product.
Revised 4/14 Page 2 of 7
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, it is in compliance given the adoption of the recent Comprehensive Plan amendment for this same property.
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?
This zone change to PDD is to accommodate age restricted housing within an RS - Restricted Suburban base zone
with a few minor modifications. The majority of this subdivision will be designed as a gated community. There is a
small portion that cannot effectively be gated given its geometry and size. Even so, the entirety of the subdivision
will be deed restricted with age limitations. This product is highly compatible with the adjacent large lot residential
subdivisions. The varying lot sizes are not usually the incompatibility issue, rather it is the age of the residences.
4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The property is suitable for an age restricted community. With its location near a medical center, retail, shopping
and restaurants it is ideal for senior citizens who may not want to or be able to drive far to obtain these services.
5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The property is suitable to develop as an R - Rural project, however, there are not many properties that would be
ideal for an age restricted gated community close to health care, shopping, retail and restaurants and this property
lends itself well to that use.
6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
as #5. It could be marketed as an R - Rural subdivision but the marketability as an age restricted product is
better with its proximity to health care services.
7. List any other reasons to support this zone change.
There is a growing need forage restricted and senior living housing in the Bryan/College Station market. We have
become known as a great place to retire and will therefore see an increase in the development of this and similar
type products.
Revised 4/14 Page 3 of 7
8. State the purpose and intent of the proposed development.
gated age restricted single family subdivision. (the portion of the property that is cut off from the remainder by the
cure alignment of Bird Pond Road is too small to be gated- so will remain an open cul-de-sac)
CONCEPT PLAN SUPPORTING INFORMATION
What is the range of future building heights?
Building heights will all be less than 35 feet.
2. Provide a general statement regarding the proposed drainage.
Drainage will be collected with a storm sewer system in the streets and piped underground to the onsite stormwater
detention area.
3. List the general bulk or dimensional variations sought.
*Avg Lot area per dwelling unit - reduce from 10, 000 sf to 7, 000 sf
*Min Lot width - reduce from 70ft to 55ft
*Front Setback - reduce from 25ft to 20ft
*Min Lot Area - reduce from 6500sf to 6250sf
4. If variations are sought, please provide a list of community benefits and/or innovative design concepts to justify the
request.
The proposed development will provide the community with a residential option that is not available in College
Station. Even with the smaller lot size, the maximum dwelling unit density for the Residential Suburban base zoni
district of 4 du/acre will not be exceeded. The smaller lot size will reduce the yard maintenance requirements and
will allow the residents to better manage their property.
Revised 4/14 Page 4 of 7
5. Explain how the concept plan proposal will constitute and environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony
with the character of the surrounding area.
This concept plan provides for a residential community at this location. It has accommodated the realignment of
Bird Pond Road in the future and it is compatible with the adjacent large lot subdivisions that are currently built
along Bird Pond Road (Bird Pond Estates & Foxfire).
6. Explain how the proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
This proposal will be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan based upon the assumption of the adoption of
the recent Comp Plan Amendment for this property. The City Comprehensive Plan was recently supplemented in
this area with a Medical Corridor Plan. The Medical Corridor Plan illustrates this area as generally commercial,
however we believe this product is a far superior product to be placed adjacent to the large lot subdivisions rather
than the commercial shown on the Medical Corridor Plan.
7. Explain how the concept plan proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development.
The adjacent developments consist primarily of large lot subdivisions. This smaller residential community will buffer
those large lots nicely from the future commercial/village centers that are land planned in the Medical Corridor
Master Plan across Rock Prairie Road from this property.
State how awelllna units shall have access to a public street It tneV ao not tront on a public street.
The majority of dwelling units will have access to a private street system which will be maintained by a Property
Owners Association (POA). This private system is required since the community will be gated (public roads are not
allowed behind gated areas). The section of the subdivision that is too small for gating will contain a public roadwa
system and all lots will front that public road. All of the subdivision streets will connect to the public street system.
g_ State how the development has provided adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to: parks, schools,
:111U UIIICI WUUIIG IdUIIlUCS.
This development will have public infrastructure provided to each lot (water, sewer, e/ec) as well as to public streets,
schools and parks.

10. Explain how the concept plan proposal will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially
iniurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
This development proposal is placing a single family use adjacent to a single family use_ This compatibility will
assure that their is no adverse impacts from this property to others in the area.
11. Explain how the concept plan proposal will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or
pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and
nfher uses reasonable anticioated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area.
The concept plan shows that there will be 2 gated entrance%zits to the portion of the subdivision that is south of
Bird Pond Road. One of these will be to Bird Pond and the other to Rock Prairie Road. The portion of the
subdivision north of Bird Pond will have one non -gated entrance%xit to Bird Pond Road. This subdivision will have
its own internaf sidewalk system that will feed out to Bird Pond and Rock Prairie Road. We do not anticipate any
adverse impacts to the pedestrian, vehicular or traffic circulation in the area caused by this development.
Please note that a "complete site plan" must be submitted to Planning & Development Services for a formal review after
the "concept plan" has been approved by the City Council prior to the issuance of a building permit - except for single-
family development.
