COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR Corsair Circle CPA2016-000012 REQUEST: Suburban Commercial to General Commercial SCALE: Approximately two acres LOCATION: Corsair Circle north of Pavilion Avenue, more generally located near the northeast intersection of Earl Rudder Freeway South and Sebesta Road. APPLICANT: Rabon Metcalf, RME Consulting Engineers PROPERTY OWNER: Texas LS Investments, LLC PROJECT MANAGER: Jessica Bullock, Senior Planner jbullock@cstx.gov RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Economic Development has identified several areas around the City to preserve General Commercial and will carry forward City initiated land use amendments accordingly. While this area has been identified due to proximity to State Highway 6 and other thoroughfares in the area, staff will not pursue an amendment because the underlying properties are currently zoned GC General Commercial. Since Suburban Commercial requires uses and site designs that are more compatible with residential neighborhoods, it is unlikely that property currently entitled for general commercial uses, with such close proximity to a highway, will be downzoned.

Planning & Zoning Commission December 1, 2016 Page 6 of 7
REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The subject property and the surrounding area is designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The subject property is currently zoned M-1 Light Industrial and surrounding properties are currently zoned GC General Commercial and M-1 Light Industrial. Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, Corsair Circle, a 2-lane major collector, has been extended to connect to Emerald Parkway, a 4-lane minor arterial westbound and a 2-lane minor arterial eastbound. Corsair Circle now provides access to through traffic from State Highway 6 to Emerald Parkway, by way of Pavilion Avenue, another 2-lane major collector. Due to the thoroughfare connections, this area has been identified as an area of interest by Economic Development for preservation of General Commercial. Staff will pursue City initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendments in many areas around the City for land that is suitable to higher intensity commercial uses. While this area has been identified as an area of interest, an amendment to the area will not be pursued because the underlying properties, closest to Highway 6 are currently zoned GC General Commercial. 2. Scope of the request: The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designation for approximately two acres from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial. 3. Availability of adequate information: A General Commercial designation allows for future development of general commercial uses including retail sales and service uses that function to serve the entire community and its visitors. Properties in this area are served through City of College Station utilities. College Station has an ability to serve Domestic Water & Sanitary Sewer service to the proposed development, but additional infrastructure improvements may be needed with site development to meet minimum fire flow requirements. A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required at the Comprehensive Plan Amendment stage. Depending on the end use, a Traffic Impact Analysis may be required at the site plan stage to verify that additional improvements to the transportation system are not warranted. 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. Relevant Strategies identified in the Plan to achieve this goal include: Promote and support new investment that serves regional market opportunities. o City staff has identified various areas that are appropriate for General Commercial activities. Areas along State Highway 6 provide opportunity for business that need freeway access. While there will not be a City initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment for this area, as properties closest to State Highway 6 are currently zoned GC General Commercial, staff recognizes the value of having General Commercial on the Future Land Use and Character Map. The Map is conceptual in nature and this amendment will allow for the subject property to be rezoned keeping in character with adjacent property to the west. The current designation of Suburban Commercial is suitable for
Planning & Zoning Commission December 1, 2016 Page 7 of 7
commercial uses that serve the nearby community and are compatible with residential uses. Since the subject property, and those surrounding, are currently entitled for a broader range of uses than would be allowed with Suburban Commercial, it is unlikely these properties will be downzoned in the future. An amendment to the Future Land Use and Character Map will be more in line with existing entitled uses and the regional opportunity provided by proximity to State Highway 6. 5. Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans: The subject property is currently designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The proposed amendment is to General Commercial. The current land use of 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. The proposed land use of General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater both to nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large in size and located near the intersection of two regionally significant roads (arterials and freeways). Corsair Circle is designated a 2-lane major collector on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. This collector was recently extended from a cul-de-sac to Emerald Parkway. This extension now allows through connection from State Highway 6 to Emerald Parkway by way of Pavilion Avenue, also a 2-lane major collector. Given its location, the subject property is suitable for a General Commercial land use designation. 6. Compatibility with the surrounding area: The proposed amendment to General Commercial would allow zoning for general commercial uses including retail sales and service that function to serve the entire community and its visitors. Property between the subject lot and State Highway 6 South is currently zoned GC General Commercial. Property located between the subject property and Emerald Forest Subdivision, approximately 760 feet to the east, is currently zoned M-1 Light Industrial which provides for office, research and development activities, as well as high technological, light manufacturing, non-polluting industries that are self-contained. More specific potential uses include but are not limited to wholesales, scientific testing/research laboratory, facilities with outdoor storage for equipment and materials, and warehousing/distribution centers. Both of these zoning districts have been in place since the 1970s and these properties are entitled to develop under their current zoning districts. Existing businesses in the area include storage, office, and light manufacturing. Amending the Comprehensive Plan to General Commercial in this area would be more in line with the existing zoning in the area. A Comprehensive Plan Designation of Suburban Commercial would require the SC Suburban Commercial zoning district if these properties were to be rezoned in the future. That zoning district would allow fewer uses and require more intense development standards than what the properties are currently entitled to. With convenient access to State Highway 6, it is unlikely the properties will downzone to SC Suburban Commercial in the future.

7. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: Water service will be provided by City of College Station via existing 6-inch mains along the Corsair Circle and south boundary of the tract. There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line along Corsair Circle. The majority portion of the tract is in the Spring Creek sanitary sewer impact fee area. The tract is in the Bee Creek drainage basin. Detention is not needed as long as the site conveys the runoff to the existing regional detention pond. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required at the Comprehensive Plan Amendment stage. Existing infrastructure appears to currently have capacity to adequately serve the proposed change in land use. 8. Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services: The proposed amendment for the subject property does not negatively impact the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services. 9. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: The subject property is located in the Bee Creek drainage basin. This area is not recognized as an environmentally sensitive area. 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 General Commercial on approximately two acres is in line with the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment due to location along State Highway 6 and a major collector, as well as existing conditions.

REZONING REQUEST FOR Corsair Circle REZ2016-000039 REQUEST: M-1 Light Industrial to GC General Commercial SCALE: Approximately 2 acres LOCATION: Corsair Circle north of Pavilion Avenue, more generally located near the northeast intersection of Earl Rudder Freeway South and Sebesta Road, being specifically the Century Hill Development, Lot 9 APPLICANT: Rabon Metcalf, RME Consulting Engineers PROJECT MANAGER: Jessica Bullock, Senior Planner jbullock@cstx.gov RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. Adjacent properties to the west are currently zoned and entitled for GC General Commercial and adjacent properties to the east are zoned and entitled for M-1 Light Industrial. Due to proximity to State Highway 6, location on a collector, and current entitled uses, staff recommends approval. If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to General Commercial is approved the rezoning request will be incompliance. If the amendment is denied, the rezoning will no longer be in compliance.

REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is also under consideration for a Comprehensive Plan amendment from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial. 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. General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater both to nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large in size and located near the intersection of two regionally significant roads (arterials and freeways). The subject lot is located adjacent to State Highway 6 South, along a 2-lane major collector which provides through traffic to Emerald Parkway a 4-lane minor arterial westbound and a 2-lane minor arterial eastbound. Due to the thoroughfare connections, this area has been identified as an area of interest by Economic Development for preservation of General Commercial. Staff will pursue City initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendments in many areas around the City for land that is suitable to higher intensity commercial uses. While this area has been identified, a City initiated amendment to the area will not be pursued because the properties near State Highway 6, directly west of the subject property, are currently zoned GC General Commercial. If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved the rezoning request will be in compliance. If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is denied, the rezoning request will no longer be in compliance. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed amendment to General Commercial would allow for general commercial uses including retail sales and service that function to serve the entire community and its visitors. Property between the subject lot and State Highway 6 South is currently zoned GC General Commercial. Property located between the subject property and Emerald Forest Subdivision, approximately 760 feet to the east, is currently zoned M-1 Light Industrial which provides for office, research and development activities, as well as high technological, light manufacturing, non-polluting industries that are self-contained. More specific potential uses include but are not limited to wholesales, scientific testing/research laboratory, facilities with outdoor storage for equipment and materials, and warehousing/distribution centers. Due to the nature of the uses permitted in M-1 Light Industrial, developments are exempt from the Non-Residential Architectural Standards of the Unified Development Ordinance, which among other architectural standards regulates building materials. Both of these zoning districts have been in place since the 1970s and these properties are entitled to develop under their current zoning districts. Existing businesses in the area include storage, office, and light manufacturing. The subject lot is on the border of where the zoning districts change from GC General Commercial to M-1 Light industrial. The uses permitted under M-1 Light Industrial will be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property.

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 property is located adjacent to State Highway 6 and a 2-lane major collector. Corsair Circle was recently extended to Emerald Parkway and now provides access to through traffic from State Highway 6 to Emerald Parkway by way of Pavilion Avenue, also a 2-lane major collector. General commercial uses are generally more appropriate adjacent to freeways and arterial thoroughfares because they tend to serve both nearby residential and the larger region. Due to its location, the subject property is suitable for general 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 platted lot provides over 240 feet of frontage on a major collector and is located approximately 330 feet from State Highway 6. With access from State Highway 6 via Pavilion Avenue, a major collector, the site is suitable for uses that need quick access. Easements are along the property boundaries, and there is no floodplain on the property, minimizing site encumbrances. The topography of the site is also relatively flat. The current zoning designation is suitable for the property however the desired use from this applicant would require a GC General Commercial 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 subject property, and the adjacent lots are marketable under the current designations due to their locations on City Thoroughfares. The applicant also states visibility and growth opportunities as reasons for marketability. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by City of College Station via existing 6-inch mains along the Corsair Circle and south boundary of the lot. Due to the Preliminary Utility Report, an off-site water line improvement may be needed with site development. There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line along Corsair Circle. The majority of the lot is in the Spring Creek sanitary sewer impact fee area. The lot is in the Bee Creek drainage basin. The natural conveyance path drains north towards an existing regional detention pond. Detention is not needed as long as the site conveys the runoff to the existing regional detention pond. During site development of the property, the lot will need to show that the site’s design is within the drainage assumptions utilized in the design of the regional detention pond. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. The development will take access via Corsair Circle a 2-lane major collector that was recently extended to connect with Emerald Parkway. A Traffic Impact Analysis for GC General Commercial zoning is required for sites with three or more acres. While a Traffic Impact Analysis is not required at this stage, it may be required with the site plan depending on the developing use. Existing infrastructure appears to currently have capacity to adequately serve the proposed use.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Lance Simms, Director of Planning & Development Services
DATE: 1 December 2016
SUBJECT: Application Fee for Commercial Banners
Item
Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an amendment to Section
12-7.5.J, Commercial Banners, of the Unified Development Ordinance.
Background
This is a clean-up item as a result of recent fee adjustments by the City Council. On 27 October
2016, the City Council approved a resolution adjusting application and permit fees for Planning &
Development Services and consolidating said fees into Chapter 14, Service Fees, of the City’s
Code of Ordinances. The resolution had a delayed effective date of 1 January 2017 and included
a new application fee for Commercial Banners. The application fee for Commercial Banners is
currently located in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). However, since the application
fee for Commercial Banners has been moved to Chapter 14 of the Code of Ordinances, the UDO
is being amended by removing the application fee in Section 12-7.5.J and simply stating, “The
applicant shall pay an application fee as established from time-to-time by resolution of the City
Council...”
