TRACT 2— 20.034 ACRES
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM
The following is required if an amendment to the Land Use Plan is requested. Based on the nature and
extent of the requested amendment, additional studies may be required. Attach additional sheets if
necessary.
Current Land Use Plan designation: Residential Attached
Requested Land Use Plan designation: Retail-Regional
Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment:
This tract is located at the future intersection of Decatur Drive and Arrington Road, and
commercial development would be more appropriate at this location.
Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation:
The proximity of this site to other major retail locations and the increased traffic on
Arrington Road and Decatur Drive due to the current development occurring in this area
has made the Residential-Attached designation undesirable.
How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of
College Station Comprehensive Plan?
The Retail-Regional land use will promote increased retail sales and tax revenue, and it
will provide for centralized retail activity along the major intersections.
Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing
designation.
The City's policy is to encourage student housing near campus. Apartment housing in
this location would be inhabited by students in contradiction to this policy. In addition,
this commercial tract will be bounded on two sides by major thoroughfares and on a
third side by a conservation zone, which is an area that will not be developed. The fourth
side is a proposed single-family residential development, and the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) provides for buffers to prevent negative impacts to residential
developments located near commercial areas.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached
hereto are true and correct.

TRACT 1 — 7.975 ACRES
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST FORM
The following is required if an amendment to the Land Use Plan is requested. Based on the nature and
extent of the requested amendment, additional studies may be required. Attach additional sheets if
necessary.
Current Land Use Plan designation: Residential Attached
Requested Land Use Plan designation: Single-Family Residential— Medium Density
Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment:
Revising the land use will allow a single-family residential development.
Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation:
Multi-family residential developments are not in demand in the area and with the addition
of Forest Ridge Elementary School, there continues to be a strong demand for single-
family housing in this area.
How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of
College Station Comprehensive Plan?
Multi-family residential developments are not desirable unless they are located near the
TAMU campus where the student housing market is in the greatest demand. This land
use plan change would prevent the construction of apartments on this tract.
Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing
designation.
The development to the north is single-family residential and this change would prevent
the development of multi-family housing adjacent to the existing homes.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached
hereto are true and correct.
