REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is located within the
Wellborn Community Plan area, with a Future Land Use and Character designation of
Wellborn Commercial. Similar to Suburban Commercial, this land use is intended for
concentrations of commercial activities that focus primarily on the nearby residents versus
the larger community. Such uses should be limited in size and not accommodate for
drive-thru services. Specific design elements as described in the Wellborn Community
Plan should be incorporated into development to limit the visual impact on the community
and enhance the defined character.
The applicant is looking to rezone three lots from R Rural to SC Suburban Commercial.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 5
April 7, 2016
The proposed zoning district is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: Property directly to the north and south are
currently zoned R Rural and developed as single-family homes. Property to the east was
recently rezoned to SC Suburban Commercial in order to develop an office use.
SC Suburban Commercial is intended to be compatible with the character of suburban
single-family neighborhoods. Buildings have a residential character and scale, and sites
are heavily landscaped to minimize the impacts of non-residential uses and associated
parking areas on adjacent residential zoning districts. The proposed rezoning is
compatible with the uses and character of the Wellborn Community.
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 subject area
is directly adjacent to Wellborn Road, a major arterial, and are surrounded by single-family
homes as well as existing and proposed commercial uses. Due to these conditions, the
properties are suitable for SC Suburban Commercial uses.
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
area is currently zoned R Rural which allows for an average lot size of three acres. When
the Wellborn area was annexed in 2011, it received an A-O designation as a placeholder
which was later renamed to R Rural. The property may continue to be used as a single-
family home, but with frontage to a major arterial, this is not the most suitable use.
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: R Rural
allows for rural residential and agricultural uses. With continuing development in the area,
frontage to Wellborn Road, and a recent rezoning to Suburban Commercial to the east, the
property has limited marketability under the current zoning district.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is available to these
properties from the Wellborn Special Utility District. There is also an adjacent 8-inch
sanitary sewer line that may serve the area. Drainage is mainly to the west within the Peach
Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site
development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use at this time.
The subject properties have frontage on FM 2154, a proposed 4-lane Major Arterial on the
City’s Thoroughfare Plan.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as
Wellborn Restricted Suburban in the Wellborn Community Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map. The intent of the Wellborn Restricted land use was provide area for
additional residential land that could be smaller in size than the rural or estate designations
allowing for a slight increase in density. Knowing this land use designation extends up to
Wellborn Road there was flexibility added to the language allowing for office and light
commercial activity not to exceed more than 15 percent of the total area designated as
Wellborn Restricted Suburban. The request to rezone to a Suburban Commercial use is in
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6
April 7, 2016
compliance with the 15 percent limitation and in extension is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan designation.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The surrounding property is zoned R Rural, a
designation received after annexation. Nearby properties are large lot residential and
agricultural-open. Commercial can be found further north on Wellborn Road. SC Suburban
Commercial is intended to be compatible with the character of suburban single-family
neighborhoods. Buildings have a residential character and scale, and sites are heavily
landscaped to minimize the impacts of non-residential uses and associated parking areas
on adjacent residential zoning districts. Suburban Commercial will be more intense than the
existing adjacent land uses, but not necessarily out of character with the larger area.
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 subject area
has frontage to Wellborn Road (FM 2154), a major arterial, and located near other
commercial uses. The Wellborn Community Plan allows for some light commercial in the
area designated Wellborn Restricted Suburban. SC Suburban Commercial on approximately
3 acres would allow for low-density commercial uses that cater to nearby residents and is in
line with the Wellborn Community Plan.
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 current
designation of R Rural allows property to be subdivided into an average of three acre lots for
agricultural and/or residential use. Minimal development in the immediate area makes these
uses suitable, but when the area was annexed in 2015, it was zoned R Rural as a
placeholder designation.
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
applicant states the property is unmarketable for rural and agricultural uses as development
continues to occur along FM 2154.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn
Special Utility District. There is an existing 12-inch sanitary sewer line along the south side
of Royder Road available to serve this property. Capacity is currently available in the
downstream sanitary sewer system to support the proposed use, however capacity will need
to be analyzed further with site development. Drainage is mainly to the south within the
Peach Creek Drainage Basin, where detention is required. Access to the site will be along
Wellborn Road, subject to TxDOT requirements and permitting. Drainage and other public
infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be
adequate for the proposed use at this time.

This property and much of the surrounding area was annexed into the city in 2015. Further, residential and
commercial development in the Wellborn area has greatly increased in the last 5-10 years. Following the
update of the Wellborn Community Plan, this request is fulfilling the vision of that plan.
The Wellborn Community Plan, a small area plan for portions of the Wellborn area that were annexed in 2015,
was adopted by the city in 2013. This property was designated for Restricted Suburban land uses, which
allows a limited amount of light commercial development. This request for Suburban commercial is in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
According to the Wellborn Community Plan, this property has been designated for a limited amount of light
commercial activity that should have a limited visual and character impact on surrounding residential uses. As
such this project will develop accordingly and will be compatible with the character of the neighborhood.

Petterak Subdivision and a 0.768 acre un-platted tract of land
Site development: Retail on a portion. The remaining property is undeveloped.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map designates the subject property as General Commercial and Urban.
These properties were included in the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan and it was agreed
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 8
April 7, 2016
that General Commercial and Urban uses were appropriate. The subject area is across
Luther from Urban Redevelopment and is at the edge of Growth Area VI, which calls for a
very intense level of development activity tending to consist of townhouses, duplexes, and
apartments. Within this growth area, the entire area designation is to also include
commercial, office, business park, and vertical mixed uses. A mix of apartments and
commercial uses on the property, and possibly a mixed use structure would be consistent
with the spirit of the plan.
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 GS General Suburban for single-family residential developments and R-6 High
Density Multi-Family. The proposed PDD includes more intense land uses, which the
Comprehensive Plan anticipates with the Urban designation including High-Density Multi-
Family with potential for commercial services incorporated as a vertical mixed-use, and a
freestanding commercial restaurant.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
districts that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: Considering the
current Comprehensive Plan designation, the property is illustrated with Urban and General
Commercial land uses. The requested PDD includes uses that the Comprehensive Plan
anticipates as being suitable for this area over the 20-year Plan horizon.
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 GC General Commercial and GS General Suburban. The
current zoning districts are suitable for the property given the current development pattern of
nearby property. However, it is not suitable for the anticipated future growth. Additionally,
the applicant is looking to move forward with a Multi-Family development that is currently not
allowed in either of the two zoning districts.
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 zoning with permitted General
Commercial and Single-Family residential uses. However, the applicant has noted that the
new request to change the current zoning of the property to allow a more intense level of
Multi-Family residential and General Commercial activities 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: A two inch water line connected to an eight
inch line along Luther Street currently serves the property. There is a 6-inch inch water line
near the southeast side of the property. Wastewater is currently served by a 6-inch line on
the property. Downstream wastewater improvements are needed for the proposed use and
are currently under design by the applicant. Drainage is generally to the east within the Bee
Creek drainage basin. All utilities shall be designed in accordance with the BCS Unified
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 of 8
April 7, 2016
Design Guidelines at the time of platting and site development. The site fronts Wellborn
Road (FM 2154) being a proposed 6- Lane Major Arterial and Luther Street a 2-Lane Minor
Collector. As shown in the Concept Plan the site will be taking direct access to Luther Street
and Lonnie Lane, a private driveway serving the multi-family development behind the
subject property.
SUMMARY OF EXISTING PDD AND 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:
The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the
proposed zoning district:
“The purpose and intent of the zoning is to consolidate and redevelop properties for a multi-
family and residential use with structured and surface parking. The multi-family use is
consistent with the surrounding properties, and a family-friendly restaurant will be provided.”
The applicant proposes to utilize GC General Commercial, and MU Mixed Use as the base,
underlying zoning districts, as applicable. The range of future building heights is proposed to be
in compliance with the Easterwood Airport height restrictions.
At the time of plat and site plan, the project will need to meet all applicable standards required
by the Unified Development Ordinance. Through the PDD, the applicant’s request for the
following meritorious modifications are an effort to provide flexibility with the development and
allow for the creation of a unified and cohesive project:
UDO Section 12-7.7 F "Minimum Buffer Standards," As shown on the Concept Plan, the
applicant is requesting that no 10- foot buffer be required between the Commercial and
Multi-Family developments in order to promote a single development feel with open access
between the uses. Generally a 10-foot buffer and a fence is required when there is Multi-
Family adjacent to General Commercial uses. In order to provide adequate fire access and
allow for the appearance of a uniform development, the applicant is asking this requirement
be removed.
UDO Section 12-5.4 "Non-Residential Dimensional Standards" For the restaurant use,
the front setback will be consistent with the mixed-use setback to more closely maintain a
consistent building line throughout the development. In the General Commercial zoning
district there is a minimum 25-foot front building setback. The applicant is asking to have the
Mixed-Use dimensional standards apply in that the building would not have a minimum front
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 of 8
April 7, 2016
setback, but would have a maximum building setback of 15- feet. Again this is to aid in
allowing for a more unified development and to provide a more consistent building line along
Wellborn Road. In addition to the maximum 15-foot building setback the development was
also designed with future improvements to Wellborn Road in mind. The Concept Plan
indicates a 20 foot buffer for future right-of-way dedication, which would have been difficult
to obtain for future improvements to the roadway had the applicant not accounted for it.
UDO Section 12-7.13 “Traffic Impact Analysis” With a development of this magnitude a
traffic impact analysis is generally required at the time of rezoning. This is to ensure traffic
generated will not negatively impact the overall traffic patterns of the area, and is providing
the appropriate mitigation tools to allow for better flow. If the project triggers the threshold
requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis, the applicant is requesting to address this with the site
plan of the first phase of the development which again will review the entire project and not
each individual phase.
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 and commercial uses. As designated in the Comprehensive Plan, the subject
property is proposed as Urban and General Commercial and lying at the perimeter of
Growth Area VI. An environment with a mix of uses potentially allows better opportunities
for residents to shop, dine, and potentially work where they live, thus reducing traffic on
nearby streets and encouraging a more walkable environment. The proximity to Texas A&M
University and the bike lanes and sidewalks along Wellborn Road provide increased
opportunities to encourage pedestrian and bicycle accessibility throughout the development
and to the larger 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: 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,
and commercial, which is what is proposed.
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 by
Multi-Family directly behind the property and also across Wellborn Road, and a City Park to
the southeast. The addition of Multi-Family in this area meets the expectations of the
Comprehensive Plan and works to provide additional services to nearby residents and park
visitors.
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 Luther Street and Lonnie Lane.
The multi-family units and commercial uses will access these roadways through a network of
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8 of 8
April 7, 2016
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: There is currently a Capital
Improvements Project that is constructing the portion of the sidewalk along Wellborn Road
in front of this development. This along with internal sidewalk connections, 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 development will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
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: The proposed zoning would
generate approximately 194 peak hour trips. The current zoning would generate
approximately 198 peak hour trips. The applicant has requested that the traffic impact
analysis be deferred to the site planning stage since the potential traffic generation is not
being increased with the proposed zoning change. A traffic impact analysis would be
required for the entire development with the site plan application for the first phase of the
development.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as
Neighborhood Conservation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character
Map. This designation is used in areas that are generally built out and are not intended to
see extensive infill development or redevelopment. The areas labeled as Neighborhood
Conservation were typically platted prior to the city’s current development regulations often
resulting in non-conforming situations. Specifically, The Eastgate Neighborhood Plan
discusses that while commercial development potential on this particular tract is a very
limited, if a commercial use were to develop it may negatively impact the Neighborhood
Conservation area. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 5
April 7, 2016
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The surrounding property is zoned GS General
Suburban, a designation received after annexation. Continuation of the General Suburban
pattern in the area is compatible with the present zoning and conforming single-family uses.
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 subject area
has frontage to Tarrow Street, a two lane major collector, and located two blocks away from
the nearest commercial uses fronting University Drive East. Other commercial uses do exist
directly across Tarrow Street. However, the subject property is surrounded by a general
suburban zoning and development pattern and is the last property in the immediate area
that has yet to be rezoned to a residential use. Due to these conditions, this area is more
suitable for a residential use.
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 current
designation of C-3 Light Commercial is a retired zoning district that allows for smaller
neighborhood type services. Typically this land use is a transitional, step-down zone that is
located at the fringe of more intense General Commercial Uses and General Suburban
uses. Historically, there were commercial uses on the property, which have since been
removed. Considering current development requirements it would be very difficult to develop
without consolidating and rezoning additional property adjacent to this site, which is zoned
for General Suburban uses. The site could also request to eliminate such requirements as
buffering to single-family uses to allow for a larger portion of land that could be developed.
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
applicant states the property has a higher marketability as a single-family land use given its
close proximity to commercial services along University Drive East and the existing
character of the surrounding neighborhood.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 2-inch water line that
runs along one side of this property adjacent to Banks Street, which will be used to serve
half of this property. The other half of this property will be served by an existing 4-inch line
that runs along one side of this property adjacent to Peyton Street. There is an existing 6-
inch sanitary sewer line along Banks Street that ties into a manhole at the corner of the
subject property then continues along the rear property line which will serve this property. As
this site is being re-platted concurrently with the rezoning request access to the subject
property is being restricted to Banks Street as a single-family residential property is not
allowed to take access off a collector or greater classification street. Drainage and other
public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be
adequate for the proposed use at this time.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated as Urban on
the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and is also located within
Redevelopment Area II. The redevelopment area designation was identified due to the
property’s proximity to one of the busiest of the city’s corridors. Additionally, the
underperforming land uses and small lot configuration have made it difficult to assemble land
for redevelopment. Intense development consisting of high-density residential activities is
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6
April 7, 2016
allowed. General commercial and office uses, business parks, and vertical mixed-use activities
may also be permitted when property is also within a growth or redevelopment area. Given the
Urban designation and being within a redevelopment area, the proposed request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The current zoning of O Office is compatible with
the immediately adjacent properties and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation of Urban. However, the proposed rezoning of GC General Commercial will allow
more flexibility in the type of intense uses allowed that would support the proposed and
existing development fronting University Drive East such as the hotel development that
recently rezoned most of the property on this block. Under the current development guidelines,
the property owner will be required to meet such standards related to landscaping,
nonresidential architectural relief and others that will aid in allowing a more compatible
development with the surrounding uses.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district
that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: A rezoning to GC General
Commercial would be compatible with area redevelopment and meets the property owner’s
intention to redevelop the site for a commercial restaurant use. The surrounding area is
currently experiencing an increase in redevelopment and interest to consolidate property to
allow for the creation of sites that would retain a larger commercial use. The allowance of the
proposed rezoning helps meet the demand for more intense commercial activity along the
University Drive corridor.
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 only uses
permitted by the existing district are for office-related uses. The property owner intends to
utilize the property for commercial restaurant type uses, which is currently not a permitted use
under the office zoning district. The existing office land use is suitable and is allowed within
the General Commercial designation, but does not allow for more intense uses that would be
appropriate along the University Drive Corridor.
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
could remain O Office but allowing GC General Commercial would improve its marketability
and consistency with the adjacent property fronting University Drive East.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 6-inch waterline along
the west side of University Drive East and an existing 1-inch waterline along the south side of
Eisenhower Street. The 1-inch waterline is proposed to be upsized per the Water Master Plan
with the adjacent development. Additionally, there is an existing 6-inch sanitary sewer line
along the west side of University Drive East and an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line along
the north side of Eisenhower Street that are available to serve this tract. The subject property
is located in the Burton Creek Drainage Basin but is not within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard
Area. The tract is bordered on the south by University Drive East, a 6-lane major arterial, and
Eisenhower Street, a local street, on the east. Access will be provided via a single drive to
Eisenhower Street. Any proposed public infrastructure improvements must be designed and
constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines with site
development. Currently, public facilities appear to be adequate for the proposed use.
