REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance:
The subject property is classified as General Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The subject property is proposed to be developed as residential, following the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements for GS General Suburban zoning. The Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable section of the UDO with the exceptions noted below. 2. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations contained in the UDO except for
the following waiver requests as described below.
UDO Section 12-8.3.H.1.d ‘Lots’ – The requirement under this section is stated as ‘side lot lines shall be substantially right angle to straight right-of-way or radial to the curved right-of-way’. The lot line drawn between lot 7 and lot 8 is angled.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land; The configuration of the tract results in a wider entrance off of Renee Lane. It tapers down approximate 130 feet to the end of the property. The applicant state that the shape of the land creates makes it difficult to fit a cul-de-sac with lots surrounding it on either side. The waiver would allow for the lot line to be drawn at an angle to meet the zoning lot depth
requirements.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; The property is surrounded by subdivided and developed properties within the same zoning standards. The applicant is providing a subdivision that fits within the context of the surrounding area and the requested lot line will create lots larger than the minimum required. Any required changes would reduce the number of lots that can be provided on the property.
3) The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and The granting of this waiver to allow the lot line between Lot 7 and Lot 8 to not be substantially right angle is not predicted to be
detrimental to the public health and safety. The angle of the lot line creates larger lot sizes then required for the GS General Suburban Zoning.
4) That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The rest of the property meets the UDO subdivision requirements and the surrounding area and surrounding properties have been previously subdivided.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Annexation: 1995
Zoning: A-O Agricultural Open (upon annexation); R-1 Single-Family Residential (2002) ; PDD Planned Development District (2010)
Final Plat: Not platted
Site development: The subject property was included in a Master Plan of the Crowley Tract in 1999. A landscaping building was constructed on the tract in 2001.
REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates the subject property as Urban and Natural Areas Reserved. The property is also considered to be within Growth Area II. The Urban designation is for a
very intense level of development activity tending to consist of townhouses, duplexes, and apartments. Within growth areas, an Urban designation may also permit commercial, office,
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 9 January 21, 2016
business park, and vertical mixed uses. The Comprehensive Plan states that Natural Areas Reserved is for areas that represent a constraint to development that should be preserved
for their natural function or open space qualities including areas of floodplain, riparian buffers, and for recreation facilities. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: Much of the property in the immediate vicinity is
zoned as R Rural or for single-family residential developments. The proposed PDD includes more intense land uses, which the Comprehensive Plan anticipates with the Urban designation. The Natural Areas Reserved with the adjacent deed restricted wetlands mitigation area both protects a sensitive natural resource and provides a natural buffer between the proposed uses and nearby single-family developments. 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the districts that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: As a result of the approval of previous Comprehensive Plan Amendments the property is illustrated with
an Urban designation along with the existing Natural Areas Reserved. The requested PDD includes uses that the Comprehensive Plan anticipates as being suitable for this area over the 20-year Plan horizon, with the exception of portions of the Natural Areas Reserved area
of the tract. Floodplain areas in the City already entitled for development by existing zoning can proceed by complying with applicable FEMA and City regulations. 4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The subject property is currently zoned as PDD Planned Development District with permitted Commercial, Office, and Multi-Family uses. The current zoning district is suitable for the property given the anticipated land uses and the development pattern of nearby property. 5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
property can currently be marketed under the current PDD zoning with permitted Commercial, Office, and Multi-Family uses. However, the applicant has noted that the new request to change the ratio of Commercial and Multi-Family compared to the original request along with the removal of the Office use will help increase the marketability and development of the property. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 8-inch and 24-inch waterlines along Castle Rock Parkway and William D. Fitch Parkway (State Highway 40),
respectively. Sanitary sewer service may be provided via an existing 21-inch sanitary sewer line which crosses the tract. Drainage is generally to the northeast within the Spring Creek drainage basin. All utilities shall be designed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines at the time of platting and site development.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 of 9 January 21, 2016
SUMMARY OF EXISTING PDD AND CONCEPT PLAN (The change with this request is shown in bold)
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and parking areas as well as other site related features. The request revises the amount of commercial uses reducing it to increase the number of proposed multi-family units. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept Plans: The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed zoning district: “The proposed development will provide a mix of uses necessary to support the demands for such uses resulting from the single-family residential developments in the vicinity of this development. Also, the multi-family component will provide an alternative to the single-family residential options available in this area. The development is anticipated to have a mix of uses with adequate pedestrian and vehicular accessibility and connectivity.”
The applicant proposes to utilize GC General Commercial, and MF Multi-Family as the base, underlying zoning districts, as applicable. The range of future building heights is proposed to be
from 15 feet to 55 feet. At the time of site plan and plat, the project will need to meet all applicable standards required
by the Unified Development Ordinance. The applicant and Staff have negotiated through various standards to seek to attain an urban-style appropriate for this portion of the City, while seeking to retain flexibility for both parties. Through the PDD, the additional standards already described above are intended to achieve this objective along with the applicant’s request for the following meritorious modifications:
Streets and Alleys, Table V, BCS Design Guidelines
The applicant is requesting that the right-of-way width for the “Commercial Street” shown on the Concept Plan be 71 feet. Generally an 85-foot right-of-way is required for a collector in an urban context. Design requirements will be in accordance with the UDO and BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The applicant states that reducing the width of the “Commercial Street” right-of-way will provide for an “urban” design look to that portion of the development. Staff recommends that a bike lane that prohibits parking be included on the “Commercial Street” to support the reduction of right-of-way width.
Section 5.2 “Residential Dimensional Standards” and Section 5.4 “Non-Residential Dimensional Standards” The applicant is requesting reduction of building setbacks along the “Commercial Street” to 10 feet for all uses. All parking and landscaping requirements are proposed to be in accordance with the UDO. The applicant states that a reduction of building setbacks adjacent to the street will provide for an “urban” design look to that portion of the
development.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 of 9 January 21, 2016
Section 7.1.H.2 “Single Family Protection” of the Unified Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting that, although the adjacent City-owned property is zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential, it not be considered as a single-family use for the purpose of limiting height or increasing the setback for multi-family or non-residential buildings adjacent
to the City-owned property. The applicant states that the City owned property cannot be developed so there is no need for setbacks based on the height of the buildings.
Section 7.6 “Buffer Requirements” of the Unified Development Ordinance The applicant is requesting that there be no buffers required where development is adjacent
to the City-owned property. All other buffers are proposed to be in compliance with the UDO. The applicant states that a buffer fence or wall and landscaping would block the view from the development into the riparian area and negate the benefits of the greenbelt area.
Section 8.2.A.10 “Blocks” of the Unified Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting to vary from the 800-foot maximum block length requirement. No public streets are proposed to connect to Castle Rock Parkway within this development. The block length along the southern right-of-way of Castle Rock Parkway is 850 feet within this development and 1,310 feet to the first intersecting street in the Castle Rock Subdivision. The block length along the northern right-of-way of Castle Rock Parkway is 760 feet within this development and 1,540 feet to the first intersecting street in the Castle
Rock Subdivision. The applicant has proposed a “Private Driveway and Cross Access Easement” through the property that will meet minor collector standards for access and driveway spacing and lane width. This private drive reduces the block length by approximately 200 feet on the north side of Castle Rock Parkway and approximately 300 feet on the south side of Castle Rock Parkway.
Section 8.2.A.13 “Sidewalks” of the Unified Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting that in the section of street where the multi-use path parallels the “Commercial Street,” an additional sidewalk not be required along that side of the street. The applicant states that a sidewalk would be a duplication of the multi-use path. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for PDD Concept Plans:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area: The Concept Plan proposes a mix
of multi-family, commercial uses, and open space. As designated on the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is proposed as Urban and Natural Areas Reserved. An environment with a mix of uses potentially allows better opportunities for residents to shop,
dine, and work where they live, thus reducing traffic on nearby streets and encouraging a more walkable environment. The property is bounded on two sides by a deed-restricted conservation area owned by the City, which cannot be developed. This allows the proposed
uses to be buffered to/from the existing development in the area. The conservation area also provides a focal point for the development of the area. The proposed multi-use path and sidewalks will provide pedestrian and bicycle accessibility throughout the development and to the larger area.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8 of 9 January 21, 2016
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section: The proposed Concept Plan is in general conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use and Character Map designates this area for Urban uses, including multi-family, office, and commercial, which is what is proposed. The Comprehensive Plan also designates a portion of the property for Natural Areas – Reserved. Generally, the policies in the Comprehensive Plan do not support development of FEMA designated floodplain. The property includes approximately 3.26 acres of floodplain designated by FEMA. The Concept Plan is proposing to designate approximately 1.1 acres (0.89 acres of FEMA floodplain) as a “no disturbance” area. This area was determined by using a 75-, 50-, or 25-foot setback from the stream conveyance area, as noted (and shown graphically) on the Concept Plan.
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development: The proposed development is bordered on two sides by a conservation easement owned by the City. The conservation area provides a natural buffer to the nearby single-family in the Castle Rock Subdivision. The
Comprehensive Plan anticipates other Urban development in the area to the north and west, as well as preservation of the floodplain in those areas.
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association: The proposed development includes access to Castle Rock Parkway, William D. Fitch Parkway, a public commercial roadway, a private drive designed to function as a
collector, and a future connection to Victoria Avenue. The multi-family units and commercial uses will access these roadways through a network of private drive aisles as depicted on the Concept Plan.
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities: The development proposes to construct the multi-use path located within and adjacent to the floodplain and/or roadway on the subject property. This will help facilitate bike and pedestrian transportation in the area.
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity: The subject property and surrounding area is designated for Urban uses and Natural Areas. Besides the requested meritorious modifications, the proposed development will meet all City requirements.
7. The development 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 other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area: As previously reviewed under the original PDD request the proposed phasing of the development is such that no
more than 420 vehicle trips maybe generated by the proposed development before the connection to William D. Fitch or Victoria Avenue must be made. The changes proposed under the new request did not break the threshold that would trigger a new TIA review. The
additional 420 trips on Castle Rock Parkway (in addition to the existing 827 trips from the homes in the Castle Rock subdivision) would retain the current Level of Service of “B.” The
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 9 of 9 January 21, 2016
estimated trip generation of Castle Rock Subdivision (at full build out) along Castle Rock Parkway is 2,621 vehicle trips. With the additional maximum trips proposed by the PDD
zoning (420 trips before alternate access must be provided) the vehicle trips per day on Castle Rock Parkway would be approximately 3,041, well below the maximum capacity of 5,000 trips. Though additional trips will be generated, the proposed development provides alternate vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation routes as well as additional commercial opportunities that are not currently available in the immediate area.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A&M Church of Christ
CUP2015-000003
REQUEST: Removal of a condition related to access to Appomattox Drive. SCALE: 29.35- acre tract currently developed as church facilities for the A&M Church of Christ. LOCATION: 2475 Earl Rudder Freeway South, more generally located at the southeast corner of Raintree and Earl Rudder Freeway South. APPLICANT: Elliott Head, A&M Church of Christ PROJECT MANAGER: Mark Bombek, Staff Planner
mbombek@cstx.gov
BACKGROUND: In June, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allowing the church to move
forward with the construction of their church facilities. This approval was granted with access to Appomattox Drive. The Raintree Subdivision later appealed this decision to the City Council where they heard this request at their September 27, 2001 meeting. The City Council upheld the Planning & Zoning Commission’s action granting the CUP with access to Appomattox, but added the condition that the access to Appomattox be gated to restrict access to and from the church property with the exception of between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM on Sunday and 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM on Wednesday. With the access point open during the church’s peak traffic generation, traffic patterns will not change significantly. Appomattox was originally built as a thirty-eight foot (38’) wide collector street and is able to handle additional traffic. The Church is now requesting
that full access to Appomattox be allowed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit.

REVIEW CRITERIA 1. The proposed use shall meet the purpose and intent of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and meet all minimum standards for this type of use per the UDO.
Planning & Zoning Commission January 21, 2016 Page 5 of 5
There is not a formal site plan associated with this request as the site has already undergone site plan approval since the time of the original Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the site plan.
2. The proposed use shall be consistent with the development policies and goals and
objectives as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for development in the City.
The subject tract is shown on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Suburban Commercial which allows for commercial activity that would cater to nearby residents as opposed to centers that would generate activity on a regional scale. The request of the Church use is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, or safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or permanently injurious to neighboring property. Full access to Appomattox Drive will not be detrimental
or injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants.
4. The proposed site plan and circulation plan shall be harmonious with the character
of the surrounding area. This request is to remove a gate that was required from the
previous Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is not proposing changes to the site plan.
5. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the City through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities, electrical, or water and sewer systems, or on public services such as police and fire protection, solid waste collection, or the ability of existing infrastructure and services to adequately provide services. The removal of the gate will not negatively impact public
infrastructure or services beyond its current impact given that the condition of the previous
conditional use permit was that the gate remain closed at all times except at during their
service times on Sundays 6:00 AM to 10:00PM and Wednesday 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM which
are also the times that the church and nearby roads sees its highest traffic volume from the
use. Being that this is the peak use of the church there would be no more traffic congestion
created than what is already occurring on those days of the week.
6. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the City.
Existing uses in the area include light industrial and single-family uses. The removal of this gate will not negatively impact what is existing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The subject property is designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The surrounding land uses include General Suburban, Suburban Commercial, Medical Use, and Natural Areas Reserved. The applicant has requested the proposed amendment to Urban as a step toward permitting a multi-family development. In October 2012, the Medical District Master Plan was created. The project consultant proposed this area as Mixed Urban Residential for the Medical District. Property owners were contacted and stakeholder groups were asked for feedback on the land use
proposals. Due to the feedback received, it was determined that Urban style housing should be located on the east side of State Highway 6 South. Part of the attraction for having housing on the east side included access to trails and availability of land to provide
a unique district. Development of medical uses on the east side of State Highway 6 South is currently growing.
A number of residents involved in the development of the Medical District Plan have once again voiced their concerns. Staff has received communication from property owners who recall why they did not want an Urban designation along Graham Road and feel those
conditions have not changed. Due to the recent adoption of the plan, and the opportunity for housing development on the east side of State Highway 6 South, an Urban Land Use Designation would not be appropriate in this location.
2. Scope of the request: The applicant requests to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use and Character Map designation for approximately 11 acres from Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved to Urban. This amendment will allow for very intense level of development activity consisting of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments.
3. Availability of adequate information: Properties in this area are served by College Station Utilities with limited capacity for sanitary sewer in the downstream lift station. Wastewater demands and further downstream capacity analysis will be needed with further site development. The site’s trip generation will also need to be analyzed again with the site plan application to verify that additional improvements to the transportation system are not warranted. Lastly, a drainage analysis has not been submitted for the area changing from Natural Areas-Reserved to Urban and will also need to be submitted with the site plan.
4. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan: The goal for College Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected
and enhanced natural environment. This area was recently studied as an option for an Urban land use and ultimately determined it is not appropriate.
Relevant Strategies identified in the Plan to achieve this goal include:
Establish and protect distinct boundaries between various character areas:
The subject tract is adjacent to established single-family subdivisions. The closest existing multi-family development is approximately a mile away on the northern side of Graham Road. Area designated as Urban on the Future Land Use and Character Map allows for very intense levels of development activity consisting of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density multi-family projects. An amendment to Urban in this location does not match the character of the area.
Planning & Zoning Commission January 21, 2015 Page 6 of 7
5. Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans: The subject area is currently designated as Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The proposed amendment is to Urban. Suburban Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be small in size and located adjacent to major roads (arterials and collectors). Design of Suburban Commercial structures is compatible in size, roof type and pitch, architecture, and lot coverage with the surrounding single-family residential use. Natural Areas Reserved is intended for areas that represent a constraint to development and that should be preserved for their natural function or for open space qualities. These areas
include floodplains and riparian buffers, as well as recreation facilities. Urban is intended for areas that should have a very intense level of development activity. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. Graham Road and Longmire Drive are designated as 2-lane major collectors (General
Suburban context) on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan.
6. Compatibility with the surrounding area: The applicant requests an amendment to Urban on approximately 11 acres of an approximate 17 acre tract. The remaining area of the tract, on the eastern boundary of this request, will remain Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved and is currently undeveloped. A portion of the subject area is bound by Longmire Drive. Land across Longmire Drive is designated General Suburban on the Future Land Use and Character Map and developed as a single-family subdivision. Adjacent to the west is property designated as Suburban Commercial, but the property is currently developed with a single-family home on a large acreage tract. To the north, across Graham Road, is an existing commercial warehouse business, zoned R Rural. This property is designated on the Future Land Use and Character Map as Natural
Areas Reserved, Suburban Commercial, and Natural Areas Reserved. To the south is a large acreage single-family residential tract, currently zoned O Office. This
property is designated as Suburban Commercial on the Future Land Use and Character Map.
The larger area is currently developed with multiple single-family subdivisions, commercial, and medical uses. Adjacent properties are zoned R Rural with the exception of the Dove Crossing Subdivision, which is zoned General Suburban. An Urban designation in this area states that high-density residential development, including apartment complexes, is appropriate. This designation is not appropriate given the distance away from the University combined with the single-family residential character of the area. 7. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: Water service to the subject tract may be provided by an existing 8-inch line projected to the southern corner of the property from the adjacent tract to the west, and a 12-inch waterline along the northern side of Graham Road. Domestic and fire flow demands will necessitate future water main extensions at the time of site
Planning & Zoning Commission January 21, 2015 Page 7 of 7
development. These utilities will be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject tract also has an 18-inch sanitary sewer line crossing the northern portion of the property. The proposed Urban Land Use will be creating more density, and there are currently capacity concerns regarding the downstream lift station. Further analysis will be required, but it is anticipated that this development will need to show the necessity for lift station improvements with further site development. Stormwater from the site generally discharges to the east within the Lick Creek Drainage Basin. With site development, detention will be required. Also, further drainage analysis will be needed to identify the limits of the 100-year flood path and the impacts of reclaiming portions of the flood prone areas. Drainage improvements are required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines, and site development impacts on the drainage system will be evaluated further at that time.
Impacts to the transportation network for the proposed land use should not be significant. As part of the rezoning accompanying this Comprehensive Plan Amendment, a Traffic Impact Analysis letter was provided indicating that less than 150 trips are anticipated during the peak
hour. The site’s trip generation will be analyzed again with the site plan application to verify that additional improvements to the transportation system are not warranted.
8. Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services: An amendment to Urban will allow for increased density. At this time there are concerns regarding sanitary sewer capacity. Other City services will not be affected by this amendment.
9. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: The land use designation for a small portion of the property is proposed to be changed from Natural Areas-Reserved to Urban. The subject property is located in the Lick Creek drainage basin and contains non-
FEMA regulated, flood prone areas. This change would recognize that a more intense development is permissible on an area of land that is currently undeveloped and intended to be preserved in its natural state. Further drainage analysis will be required with future site
development, but it is unclear at this time what impacts this request will have on the drainage system. 10. Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in the Plan’s vision and goals: The goal for College Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. The proposed
amendment from Suburban Commercial to Urban on approximately 11 acres is not in line with the Comprehensive Plan and recent stakeholder input provided in the development of the Medical District Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to Urban and approval of the amendment to Urban.
a. Land Use Designation – This area was recently studied as an option for Urban land use during the planning process of the Medical District Plan. Due to feedback from nearby property owners, stakeholder meetings, and staff opinion, it was ultimately determined Urban was not an appropriate land use. Urban, which allows for high-density multi-family projects, will not be in line with recent efforts and feedback
Planning & Zoning Commission January 21, 2015 Page 8 of 7
received. The character of the area and distance from the University indicated Urban is not an appropriate land use in this location.
b. Infrastructure - The proposed Urban Land Use will create more density, and there are currently capacity concerns regarding the downstream lift station. Further analysis will be required, but it is anticipated that this development will need to show the
necessity for lift station improvements with further site development.

REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas - Reserved, with a pending application to amend to Urban.
Planning & Zoning Commission January 21, 2016 Page 5 of 8
Land Use – Suburban Commercial: intended for concentrations of commercial activities that
cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be small in size and located adjacent to major roads (arterials and collectors). Design of these structures is compatible in size, roof type and pitch, architecture, and lot coverage with the surrounding single-family residential use. Land Use – Natural Areas Reserved: intended for areas that represent a constraint to development and that should be preserved for their natural function or for open space qualities. These areas include floodplains and riparian buffers, as well as recreation facilities. Land Use – Urban: intended for areas that should have a very intense level of
development activity. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. During the creation of the Medical District Plan, adopted in October 2012, this area was initially looked at as an option for Mixed Urban Residential. Property owners were contacted
and stakeholder groups were asked for feedback on the land use proposals. Due to the feedback received, it was ultimately determined that Urban style housing should be located on the east side of State Highway 6 South. A number of residents involved in the development
of the Medical District Plan have once again voiced their concerns. Staff has received communication from property owners who recall why they did not want an Urban designation along Graham Road and feel those conditions have not changed.
The proposed PDD Planned Development District zoning uses a base zoning district of MF
Multi-Family with the intent to provide a housing option to young professionals employed in the Medical District. The research and feedback received in the recent creation of the plan indicates housing, especially those catered for young professionals working in the Medical
District, should be located on the east side of the highway. If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to Urban, the proposed PDD will be in compliance. If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends denial of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to Urban, the proposed PDD will not be in compliance.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The surrounding area is currently zoned GS
General Suburban, GC General Commercial, and R Rural. Established subdivisions in the immediate area include Dove Crossing and Bridle Gate Estates. The closest multi-family developments are approximately a mile away, north of Graham Road.
The applicant states the project will be marketed to young professionals and offers some amenities attractive to this demographic group. The Concept Plan provides more insight into features of the site, which will be discussed later in the staff report. As a multi-family project there is opportunity for the project to have residents who are young professionals as well as students. Feedback gathered during the creation of the Medical District Plan stated multi-family is not compatible in this location. As a result the bounds of the adopted Medical District Plan no longer include this property, and urban style housing is designated
on the east side of State Highway 6 South.

3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed
PDD uses a base zoning district of MF Multi-Family. The applicant states that there is an oversupply of land for commercial uses and lack of land designated for multi-family residential development. Research and feedback received during the creation of the
Medical District Plan indicated this property is not suitable for multi-family use, including multi-family housing projects for young professionals of the Medical District. 4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
subject property was designated as R Rural upon annexation in 1993. This district allows for large acreage and large-lot residential developments with a prevailing rural or agricultural character. Due to development in the surrounding area, R Rural is not the most suitable.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
subject property is currently zoned R Rural. Considering the density of existing residential development in the area, amount of land zoned for commercial use, and area shown on the Land Use Plan as Suburban Commercial, R Rural may not be the highest and best use. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 8-inch waterline
projected to the southern corner of the property from the adjacent tract to the west, and a 12-inch waterline along the northern side of Graham Road. There is also an 18-inch sanitary sewer line crossing the northern portion of the property. There are currently capacity concerns regarding the downstream lift station, and it is anticipated that further analysis will show the necessity for lift station improvements with future site development. Detention is required in this area, where stormwater from the site generally discharges to the east within the Lick Creek Drainage Basin. With site development, further drainage analysis will need to identify the limits of the 100-year flood path and the impacts of reclaiming portions of the flood prone areas. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and parking areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that
those variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept Plans:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development;
Planning & Zoning Commission January 21, 2016 Page 7 of 8
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners
association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development 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 other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area.
General: The proposed Concept Plan provides a gated multi-family development. The height of
structures will range from 18-40 feet. Both attached and detached garages will be offered. The development will also provide a recreational area that will be accessible to the public. Modifications Requested: MF Multi-Family is proposed as the base zoning district with the following modification. All other standards not expressly requested and approved will meet MF Multi-Family standards:
Parking: The applicant requests to reduce the required number of parking spaces for
multi-family units from 1.5 per bedroom for 1 and 2 bedroom units, to 1.79 parking spaces per unit.
Community Benefits: The applicant offers the following as community benefits:
The detention area will be a dual use open space to also be used as a recreation area. This will be privately maintained, but open to the public. The applicant states this will be a positive feature for the complex and surrounding residences due to lacking parkland in the area.
Will increase the required buffer yard from 10 feet to 15 feet to the single-family residential area to the west and south.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to Urban, the proposed PDD will be in
compliance. If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends denial of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to Urban, the proposed PDD will not be in compliance.
While the project intends to market to young professionals, features of the site currently proposed can also be marketed to other demographics. Considering trends with multi-family housing in the City, allowing a multi-family complex in this location also indicates student housing projects are appropriate.
The modifications to make the project suitable for professionals raise concerns. Reducing the number of parking spaces required in a multi-family development may result in overflow parking off-site. While the community benefits proposed have the potential to benefit the community, the current framework does not mitigate the impact on the neighborhood. The development will be gated with a detention pond, doubling as a recreation area outside of the gate. There is concern with the accessibility of the area to the public and features of the site.

While there is some parking proposed near the recreation area, this may be used by residents or visitors to the site.
Due to compatibility with the surrounding area, feedback received in recent planning efforts, and the framework of this rezoning request, staff recommends denial of the rezoning request and associated concept plan. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application 2. Rezoning Map
