Drive.

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Annexation: Portions in 1970, 1973 and 1995
Zoning: A-O Agriculture upon annexation renamed R Rural in 2013,
Portion rezoned to C-1 General Commercial in 1994
renamed to GC General Commercial 2013
Current zoning as of 2016: GC General Commercial, MF
Multi-Family, R Rural, and NAP Natural Areas Protected
Site development: Vacant
COMMENTS
Water: Water service will be provided by College Station Utilities. There
are existing 24-inch water lines along Wellborn Road and
Harvey Mitchell Parkway South adjacent to the property. With
further site development, water mains will be extended and
looped throughout the subject tract. Public waterline design
and construction, as well as fire flow, will be required to comply
with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
Sewer: The subject tract will be served by the City of College Station.
There is an existing 18-inch sanitary sewer line crossing the
southern and eastern portion of the property. Public sanitary
sewer extensions proposed with site development will be
required to be designed and constructed in accordance with
the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
Off-site Easements: None required at this time.
Drainage: Drainage is generally to the northeast within the Bee Creek
Tributary B drainage basin. Detention is required in this area
with site development. Drainage shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design
Guidelines.
Flood Plain: A portion of the subject tract does contain FEMA Zone A and
Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area according to the F.I.R.M
Maps Panel No. 48041C0305F, revised date: 04-02-2014. Any fill
proposed in the 100-year floodplain will be required to comply with
the City’s “No Adverse Impacts” (NAI) requirements at the time of
site development.
Greenways: N/A
Pedestrian Connectivity: There will be sidewalks provided along both sides of Balcones
Drive and the public ways provided with this development.
Bicycle Connectivity: A 10-foot wide multi-use path connecting to the existing
Steeplechase Park is identified on the Bicycle, Pedestrian and
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 16, 2017
Page 5 of 9
Greenways Master Plan. A portion of the path will be constructed
with this development and will generally travel through the eastern
end of the property eventually crossing over Welsh Avenue
making connections to the existing Balcones Drive and Rio
Grande Boulevard.
Streets: The proposed subdivision will have access to Wellborn Road
(FM 2154) and Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) via a series
of public ways that spread across the development. In addition
to the public ways the development is also dedicating right-of-
way and building a portion of Balcones Drive, a two-lane minor
collector that will terminate at Welsh Avenue in the future.
Oversize Request: N/A
Parkland Dedication: A portion of the development is zoned for multi-family
residential. To meet requirements for parkland dedication,
approximately 2.697 acres of land is being dedicated for future
credit to the residential development. Depending on the size of
the multi-family project, additional parkland fees of $687.00
per bedroom will be assessed with the building permit. The
parks board has heard this proposal and has given a
recommendation to accept the future parkland and any
additional parkland fees as required for the multi-family
property.
Impact Fees: This tract is subject to citywide impact fees: water, sanitary sewer,
and roadway. Impact fees will be dependent upon timing of the
building permit application date.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance:
The subject property is classified as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map. The tract is currently governed by four different zoning districts being
GC General Commercial, MF Multi-Family, R Rural, and NAP Natural Areas Protected. The
Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable sections of the Unified Development
Ordinance (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:
UDO Section 12-8.3.G. ‘Blocks’ (Block Length) – The requirement under this
section is stated as ‘in order to provide a public street network that is
complimentary to the Thoroughfare Plan and that ensures uniform access and
circulation, block length shall not exceed six hundred-sixty (660) feet.’ As can be
seen in the image below, there are a total of eight individual block lengths that
exceed the maximum block length requirement.
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 16, 2017
Page 6 of 9
BLOCK Proposed Distance Distance over 660 feet
A 1,166 Feet 506 Feet
B 981 Feet 321 Feet
C 973 Feet 313 Feet
D 2,361 Feet 1,701 Feet
E 1,202 Feet 542 Feet
F 1,191 Feet 531 Feet
G 1,132 Feet 472 Feet
Staff is in support of the waivers as, due to the nature of the proposed development,
the additional length in the blocks do not provide any negative impact to the flow of
traffic internally or to any external connection surrounding the development. With a
limited number of external access points to rights-of-way that are controlled by
TXDOT, an east/west connection is crucial and is being provided with the Swan Drive
public way, but not at the maximum block length distance as required for the Urban
land use designation.
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 16, 2017
Page 7 of 9
UDO Section 12-8.3.G. ‘Blocks’ (Block Perimeter) – The requirement under this section
states that, based on the future land use designation of ‘Urban’, block perimeter shall not
exceed two thousand (2,000) feet in length.’ Due to the scale of the development the
perimeter of the blocks are much larger than the maximum allowed in the urban context. The
image below will highlight which blocks are exceeding the maximum perimeter.
BLOCK Proposed Distance Distance over 2,000 feet
A 3,069 Feet 1,069 Feet
B 3,842 Feet 1,842 Feet
C 3,596 Feet 1,596 Feet
D 3,936 Feet 1,936 Feet
Staff is in support of these four waivers as the perimeter length, in this case, are not creating
any negative impact on the ability of traffic to flow in and out of the development. It is
understood that the blocks proposed are again to accommodate the individual projects
occurring within the overall jones crossing development.
Waiver Criteria regarding Block Length and Block Perimeter
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning
and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 16, 2017
Page 8 of 9
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 applicant states that strict application of the ordinance will result in the need
to construct streets that are not necessary for this development or others.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant;
If the waiver is not granted, the subject tract can still be subdivided. However,
certain characteristics of the property, being proximity to the creek and
surrounding riparian area, and its limited external access points to Harvey Mitchell
Parkway and Wellborn Road regulated by TXDOT are limiting the ability to create
a street network that meets strict application of the subdivision regulations.
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 the waivers for this development will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property.
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.
Granting the requested waivers will not affect the ability of surrounding tracts to
meet the ordinance when platting.
UDO Section 12-8.3.l.2.1. ‘Minimum Utility Easements’– Per the requirements of this
section, each block that does not contain an alley shall provide a 20-foot utility easement
at the rear of all lots. The applicant is requesting this waiver as their preference is to
provide a temporary blanket utility easement on the entire property initially and dedicate
all necessary specific easements with site development.
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 applicant states that “due to the layout of the subdivision, location of existing
utilities, and routes of the public ways through the project, the placement of these
utilities do not always follow lot lines.” For this reason staff agrees that there is a
special circumstance that would prove this to be a reasonable waiver request.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant;
If the waiver is not granted, the subject tract can still be subdivided. However, the
waiver provides the applicant an opportunity to assist in the timing of the
construction by removing obstacles of additional easement abandonment and
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 16, 2017

dedication processes that would otherwise cause a delay in site development.
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
There will be a blanket easement in place allowing for the proper installment of
utilities and all necessary infrastructure for the project. Further site specific
easements will be dedicated once the installation of the aforementioned utilities is
complete. The granting of the waiver for this development will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property.
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.
Granting the requested waiver will not affect the ability of surrounding tracts to
meet the ordinance when platting. The requested waiver is to allow flexibility in the
placement of utilities internal to the site, and are not affecting existing or proposed
utilities that would be utilized by any surrounding tract of land that is intending to
further subdivide.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the waiver requests to UDO Section 12-8.3.G. ‘Blocks’ (Block
length and perimeter), and 12-8.3.M.l.2.1. Minimum Utility Easements, with the condition that a
blanket utility easement be dedicated at the time of the Final Plat and the applicant be required to
replat each phase to remove the blanket utility easement and dedicate ‘as built’ utility easements
for the development. If the waivers are approved by the Commission, the Preliminary Plan must
be approved. If any of the waivers are denied, the Preliminary Plan must be denied.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated Urban
and Natural Areas Protected on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character
Map. The Urban land use designation is identified in areas designated for areas that should
have a very intense level of development activity. Land uses associated with this type of
designation are reserved for townhomes, duplexes and high density apartments. Much of
the area surrounding this tract is either flood way or floodplain as identified by FEMA, and is
within the Natural Planning Corridor VIII, Carter Creek Corridor in the Comprehensive Plan
Concept Map. The Natural Areas Protected designation is given in these areas to preserve
the natural function of the water way and to limit development from encroaching into flood
hazard areas. The proposed development is consistent with the future land use
designations identified for this area.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6
March 16, 2017
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property is currently zoned R Rural. This
zoning was given to this property as a land use placeholder upon annexation into the city
pending further development complying with the Comprehensive Plan. The existing R Rural
zoning allows for large lot residential and/or agricultural uses. While much of the land
surrounding this property is located in the ETJ not guided by zoning regulation, the land use
pattern is mostly large lot residential which is compatible with a Rural zoning. However, a
Rural zoning does not support a more intense development pattern that is anticipated in the
Comprehensive Plan for the land directly along State Highway 30.
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
land uses permitted through this request are those allowed in MF Multi-Family and NAP
Natural Areas Protected. The Multi-Family zoning designation outside of the floodplain is
suitable on this tract considering its access along State Highway 30 and the increase in
more intense development activity along this corridor. The NAP will serve as a buffer to the
existing residential homes to the south, but more importantly will provide protection to the
creek and surrounding land, preserving its natural function and aesthetic that is currently not
being protected under the entitled Rural zoning. As mentioned this area is also seeing
several changing conditions that warrant the suitability of this property changing land uses.
With a continued rise in development in and around the Copperfield and Summit Crossing
area and commercial development interest on adjacent tracts, a Multi-Family and NAP use
is an appropriate request for this tract.
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
property is currently zoned R Rural. The current zoning district is suitable given the similar
zonings and uses of nearby property in and out of the city limits. However, conditions in the
area along this corridor are changing with increased development interest near Copperfield
Parkway and Summit Crossing. Additionally, the adjacent tract to the west was also recently
rezoned for General Commercial thus increasing potential for more intense development
along Highway 30 and reducing the suitability of a rural land use along this 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 can currently be marketed under the existing R Rural zoning district. However, the
applicant has stated that rural designation is not appropriate or feasible for this property
knowing the changing development pattern along the Highway 30 corridor. With continued
growth along Copperfield Parkway and the expansion of the Summit Crossing development
the need for rural or agricultural land is reducing when compared to the demand to have
sites available for higher density residential and non-residential developments.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 12” water line located
along the opposite side of Harvey road from the subject property. The tract has an 18”
wastewater line available to serve the property that runs along the rear of the tract. The
Developer’s engineer has provided a sealed sewer demand letter that proposes to not
exceed the current capacity allocated for this line.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 of 6

Southern and western portions of subject property lay within the FEMA 100 fear floodplain of
Harvey Hillside Creek. Detention is required with site development. Drainage and any other
infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Harvey Road (State Highway 30) as a future 4-lane Major
Arterial. Harvey Road is currently constructed as a 2-lane rural highway with shoulders on
each side and a 60 MPH posted speed limit. The subject tract has about 1,500 feet of
frontage to Harvey Road and is not adjacent to an existing or planned intersection. Multiple
driveways are anticipated and their location and potential need for right-turn deceleration
lanes will be determined with a TxDOT permit at the time of site development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to MF Multi-Family and NAP Natural Areas
Protected.
