PROPOSAL
The applicant has requested a GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected
rezoning. The GC zoning district includes lands planned for general commercial purposes,
including retail sales and service uses that function to serve the entire community and its
visitors. The NAP is meant to prohibit development in an area that is environmentally sensitive.
The area identified on this site to be rezoned to NAP consists of FEMA Floodplain.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 of 7
May 18, 2017
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The previous request to amend the
Comprehensive Plan was approved, the proposed rezoning of GC General Commercial and
NAP Natural Areas Protected is consistent with the plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The subject area was zoned R Rural upon
annexation. It is adjacent to a C-3 Light Commercial zoned property developed as office to the
east, and Harvey Road (a future four-lane major arterial) to the north. To the west is
undeveloped property zoned Rural upon annexation and to the south, single-family property
located in the ETJ. GC General Commercial zoning are compatible with the surrounding
property uses.
Natural Areas Protected designation is for areas that represent a constraint to development, and
should be preserved for their natural function. Proposing this designation at the rear of the
property creates an additional buffer between the proposed commercial use and the existing
single-family home in the ETJ.
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
suitable for development as GC General Commercial. This subject area’s location is ideal for
commercial activity being adjacent to a thoroughfare. The development restrictions of NAP
Natural Areas Protected are suitable for the floodplain.
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 R Rural. Rural zoning is for large acre single-family lots and agriculture uses,
making rural zoning not suitable for this property. Adjacent to Harvey Road, the property would
be better suited to allow more intense uses, such as the proposed commercial.
The floodplain at the rear of the property is suitable for the NAP Natural Areas Protected zoning
that restrict development and preserve its natural function.
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
area has limited potential for a single family home, due to its close proximity to existing
commercial uses and it being adjacent to Harvey Road. The subject area would better function
as a commercial use with a preserved floodplain based on its location and surrounding uses
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water is available to serve this property via an
existing 8-inch line along Harvey Road. There is also an adjacent 18-inch sanitary sewer line
along the south that may serve this property. With further site development, a PUE will need to
be dedicated for the sewer line and the 8” water line will need to be extended along the front of
the property, possibly requiring looping. Drainage is mainly to the South within the Carter’s
Creek Drainage Basin. TXDOT permits will be needed for access along Hwy 30. Drainage and
other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. A TIA is not required since the proposed
rezoning will not generate more than 150 vehicle trips during any peak hour period.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is shown as Restricted
Suburban on the Future Land Use and Character Map. This designation is generally for
areas that should have a moderate level of development activity. These areas will tend to
consist of medium-density single-family residential lots (average 8,000 square feet) when
clustered around open spaces, or larger lots sizes when not clustered. Townhomes,
neighborhood commercial, and office uses may also be permitted in growth areas as an
element of a planned development.
The subject property is located within Growth Area II which consists of land near the
interchange of William D. Fitch Parkway (State Highway 40) and State Highway 6 and land
southwest of William D. Fitch Parkway to the current City Limits. This growth area
designation does not provide specific direction for the Restricted Suburban land use.
The Comprehensive Plan Five-Year Evaluation & Appraisal Report, completed in 2014,
identified the need for a land use amendment for portions of this area. In 2015, City Council
approved an amendment to the Future Land Use & Character Map from Estate to Restricted
Suburban in this area, including the entire Margraves Tract and Wyndham Ranch property,
per the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Given the recent
amendment, the proposed rezoning request is in compliance with the Future Land Use and
Character Map.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The larger area includes property currently
zoned for commercial uses near the intersection of State Highway 6 South, William D.
Fitch South (State Highway 40), and Arrington Road. While currently zoned R Rural, land
to the northeast along Arrington Road and Greens Prairie Road West is shown as Urban
on Future Land Use and Character Map and is also within Growth Area II. It is likely that
this property will be rezoned in the future to allow for land uses that are consistent with the
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 of 9
May 18, 2017
Comprehensive Plan.
The properties to the south and west of the subject tract are designated as Restricted
Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map. Castlegate
Subdivision, to the west, is zoned Planned Development District (PDD) and is consistent
in character to Restricted Suburban land uses. The tracts to the south are zoned R Rural
and are undeveloped. It is likely that these properties will be rezoned in the future to allow
for land uses that are consistent with the current land use designation, Restricted
Suburban.
Properties to the east, across Arrington Road, are located outside of City limits in the
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Although property in the ETJ is not subject to zoning or
land use controls by the city, most properties are platted and developed as single-family
residential.
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of
nearby property and with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
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 rezoning
request is for RS Restricted Suburban on approximately 368 acres. The subject tract is
located near large established neighborhoods, an elementary school and the existing
Caprock Crossing/Greens Prairie Center commercial developments. The Comprehensive
Plan does not expect the subject property to maintain its rural character, but be a
transitional zone that is less dense than the Castlegate Subdivision to the west and
denser than the existing subdivisions located in the ETJ. With quick access to a grocery
store, retail shops, restaurants, and service uses, higher density residential is suitable.

May 18, 2017
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: While this
tract can support and is suitable for agricultural or other uses appropriate for a Rural
designation, this tract was identified as one that could support higher density single-family
residential in an effort to help meet the residential demand that exists in this area.
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. The marketability of this tract as Rural is limited to large
lot residential or agricultural uses as allowed under the zoning district. While this property can
be marketed under the current zoning, single-family residential uses are more marketable
and is needed to meet the demand that is increasing in the southern region of College
Station.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 12-inch waterlines along
Greens Prairie Road West and Arrington Road which will need to be extended in
accordance with the Water Master Plan and looped throughout the development. There is
also an existing 12-inch sanitary sewer line east of the property along Arrington Road
available to serve the site. Based on estimated water and sewer demands, existing utility
infrastructure appears to have adequate capacity to serve the proposed use.
Currently there is no FEMA Special Flood Hazard area located on this tract. Drainage from
the subject property is split between the Alum Creek, Spring Creek, and Peach Creek
Drainage Basins. Detention will be required with site development. Drainage and other
public infrastructure required with the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance
with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
It should be noted that there was previously an oil well and gas pipeline easement on the
property. The well was recently abandoned and plugged per the Texas Railroad Commission
and all well equipment has been removed. The 30-foot wide gas pipeline easement (Volume
2168, Page 25) was released by Aquila Southwest Pipeline Corporation. Permanent
structures will be restricted from being located directly above the well bore.
The subject property has frontage to two existing streets identified on the Thoroughfare
Plan: Greens Prairie Road West, a future four-lane Minor Arterial, and Arrington Road, a
future two-lane Major Collector. The Thoroughfare Plan also depicts three future two-lane
Minor Collectors within the tract that will be constructed as development of the tract occurs.
Greens Prairie Road West is constructed as a two-lane rural section along this portion and
funding is planned for a future City Capital Improvement Project (CIP) to design and re-
construct Greens Prairie Road West as a four-lane section with completion currently
anticipated in 2020. The portion of Arrington Road adjacent to the tract is located outside the
City limits and is a two-lane rural section Brazos County roadway. The applicant has
participated in discussions with Brazos County to dedicate additional right-of-way and
participate in a project to widen and improve the condition of Arrington Road. The City is
also completing the design of a traffic signal to be installed at the intersection of Greens
Prairie Road West and Arrington Road.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was submitted that analyzed the following eight existing street
intersections for traffic-related impact: William D. Fitch Parkway/Arrington Road (both
eastbound and westbound Fitch); Greens Prairie Road West/Arrington Road; Greens Prairie
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 9 of 9
May 18, 2017
Road West/Castlegate Drive; Greens Prairie Road West/W.S. Phillips Parkway; Nantucket
Drive/Harpers Ferry Road; Arrington Road/Harpers Ferry Road; Arrington Road/South Oaks
Drive; and South Oaks Drive/SH 6 Southbound Frontage Road. The TIA also analyzed two
proposed intersections: Greens Prairie Road West/new public street and Arrington
Road/new minor collector.
The TIA assumed the traffic signal at Greens Prairie Road West/Arrington Road would be
installed, this section of Greens Prairie Road West would be widened to a four-lane Minor
Arterial, the condition of Arrington Road outside the City limits would be improved, and Mesa
Verde Drive in the Indian Lakes subdivision would be extended by Brazos County out to SH
6 at the Texas World Speedway overpass. With these projects completed, the TIA found
that found most intersections would function well though some would need mitigation in
order to retain an acceptable level of service with full development of the tract by 2027. The
traffic mitigation identified is as follows:
1) A dual left-turn lane on eastbound Greens Prairie Road West at Arrington Road;
2) A traffic signal at the intersection of Greens Prairie Road West/Castlegate Drive;
3) A dedicated right-turn deceleration lane on eastbound William D. Fitch Parkway at
Arrington Road;
4) Dedicated left and right-turn lanes on westbound South Oaks Drive at Arrington
Road (or a median in Arrington Road to prevent left turns); and
5) Dedicated right-turn deceleration lanes for the proposed Minor Collectors intersecting
Greens Prairie Road West and Arrington Road.
Timing for implementation of the traffic mitigation will occur as part of the Preliminary Plan
application when the number of residential lots and phasing of the subdivision is determined.
Brazos County has indicated they will not plan to install a median in Arrington Road at South
Oaks Drive with the Arrington Road re-construction project and will further study the need for
dedicated turn lanes on westbound South Oaks Drive at Arrington Road when South Oaks
Drive is anticipated to require pavement reconstruction in the 2022-2024 timeframe.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.According to the United States Census Bureau, College Station-Bryan was the #15 fastest growing metro area in
2015 and continues to grow at that pace. On December 10, 2015, the City Council amended the Land Use and
Character portion of the Comprehensive Plan from Estate to Restricted Suburban for this property. The
amendment was driven by the recommendation from the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation & Appraisal sub-
committee to identify areas of the city that could support more dense single-family residential development for
the growing housing needs. The Margraves tract was identified as one that had the necessary infrastructure to
support the density for Restricted Suburban uses. This zoning request is to help meet the high demand for
single-family housing in the community.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
The Comprehensive Plan was amended in December 2015 to reflect Restricted Suburban. This zoning request
is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood?
While the property could be developed to Rural standards, this tract was identified as one that could support
higher residential density to meet the growing housing needs in College Station. Given the recent growth trends
and evaluation of this property by the city staff, this tract is not suitable for Rural development.

Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
This property has all necessary infrastructure to support a single-family residential development to Restricted
Suburban. Additionally, roadway improvements are planned or in the planning stages for Greens Prairie Road
and Arrington Road as well as intersection improvements at Greens Prairie Road and Arrington Road.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
This property has all necessary infrastructure to support a single-family residential development to Restricted
Suburban. Additionally, roadway improvements are planned or in the planning stages for Greens Prairie Road
and Arrington Road as well as intersection improvements at Greens Prairie Road and Arrington Road.
Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
As development continues to move south in College Station and housing needs continue to increase, this
property is more marketable for single-family residential than Rural uses. While the property is able to support
the Rural uses as permitted in the current zoning district, single-family residential is more marketable than rural
and agricultural uses.
List any other reasons to support this zone change.
