Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2017- 3901, amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial for approximately 3.34 acres located at 2381 Earl Rudder Freeway South, generally located North of Raintree Drive along Earl Rudder Freeway South. Jennifer Paz, Planning and Development Services, noted that the applicant has requested the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to General Commercial as a step toward marketing the property for a broader range of commercial uses that otherwise would not be permitted by the current zoning and future land use designation. The property owner has made several attempts to generate interest in this property while working to provide protection to the adjacent Raintree Subdivision. The applicant believes the current request, which includes an amendment to the current zoning on the property, is the best option to further market the property to commercial uses, but also allows for mitigation that helps protect the existing residents adjacent to the property. The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map at their meeting on July 6, 2017. Mitchell and Morgan, representing the applicant, noted that they had heard the concerns brought forward the last time this was brought to Council. She addressed certain concerns such as drainage impact. She noted there is an over-supply of suburban commercial properties. At approximately 7:51 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. Mark Buxkemper, Raintree, said he has lived in that neighborhood for 25 years and is opposed to re-zoning the property as general commercial. It is not the Council's job to help the developer to make more money. Ron Ross, Raintree, said he shared the same concerns. He wants to see something that is neighborhood-friendly, not a hotel or something that generates noise and lights. There are a lot of other things that enhance neighborhoods. Charles Hamilton, Raintree, said Raintree is a vibrant community, and this will put a foot in the door. Suburban commercial is better suited for proximity to neighborhoods. Bill Lero, owner of the property, said the original request was based on the comprehensive plan. The zoning classification has hindered the development of the property. At this time, he has no hotels interested. Without the zoning, he has no use for the property. Out of fourteen acres, he is only requesting approximately three acres to be re-zoned, and it fronts on the bypass. RM072717 Minutes Page 4 Laurie Sorell,Raintree, said she is not against development,but she is against general commercial zoning. She noted that since this summer, and people are on vacation, she wished this could have been discussed when there might have been a better showing of the neighborhood. There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:04 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Moore and a second by Councilmember Benham, the City Council voted four (4) for and three (3) opposed, with Mayor Mooney and Councilmembers Brick and Harvell voting against, to adopt Ordinance 2017-3901, amending the Comprehensive Plan- Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial for approximately 3.34 acres located at 2381 Earl Rudder Freeway South, generally located North of Raintree Drive along Earl Rudder Freeway South.

Jennifer Paz, Planning and Development Services, reported that this request is amending the zoning district boundaries on the property to rezone approximately 3.34 acres of land of the larger 6.9 acre lot from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial. This request is in conjunction with a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial as a future land use. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 6th regular meeting and Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request. At approximately 8:23 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. Mark Buxkemper, Raintree, asked that as this property develops, that no tax incentives be considered. Laurie Sorell, Raintree, thanked Council for their consideration and reiterated her concern about this development. Decisions could be made in haste if money is the main object. There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:28 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Moore and a second by Councilmember Benham, the City Council voted four (4) for and three (3) opposed, with Mayor Mooney and Councilmembers Brick and Harvell voting against, to adopt Ordinance 2017-3902, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial for approximately 3.34 acres located at 2381 Earl Rudder Freeway South, generally located north of Raintree Drive along Earl Rudder Freeway South.

The Planning&Zoning Commission considered this item at their July 6 regular meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Doug French, Stylecraft Builders, said the project speaks for itself and is an obvious choice for general commercial. At approximately 8:39 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. Geraldo Pirela, Pleasant Forest, expressed his concern regarding traffic noise. There will be an approximate 600 additional cars going through a natural preserve. He showed a picture of an eagle that resides there. He already has flood issues. This will impact property values as well. John Jordan,College Station,clarified that when talking general commercial and natural preserves, the 12 acres is closer to the Merica building. The multiple family will be on the 15 acres.

As growth and development moves further south,single-family homes are not appropriate adjacent to a freeway. The Natural Areas in the area of the floodplain will remain designated as it is today. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. At approximately 9:17 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:17 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Schultz and a second by Councilmember Rektorik, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance 2017- 3906, amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from General Suburban and Business Park to General Commercial for approximately 100 acres located along the east side of State Highway 6, south of The Business Park at College Station and north of the Texas World Speedway property.

The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. RM072717 Minutes Page 8 At approximately 9:20 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:20 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Moore and a second by Councilmember Schultz, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance 2017- 3907, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from Rural to General Commercial on approximately 35.91 acres of land located at 4000 and 4002 University Drive East, and more generally located south of the intersection of University Drive East and FM158 at the College Station city limit line. The motion carried unanimously. 10. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2017- 3908, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial for approximately one acre of land being College Hills Estates Block 18,Lots 5,6,9 and 11,more generally located at 108, 110,200 & 206 George Bush Drive East. Jennifer Prochazka, Economic Development Manager, stated that the proposed City-initiated rezoning from General Suburban to General Commercial is to allow for infill commercial redevelopment opportunities in proximity to Texas A&M University. The subject properties are located along the south side of George Bush Drive East, just north of existing commercial development. The lots are currently developed as single-family residential homes. While the properties are likely too small to redevelop for commercial uses on their own,there is opportunity for consolidation of lots for a larger redevelopment effort. As currently zoned,the properties could redevelop as single-family homes on a lot-by-lot basis, potentially precluding future commercial redevelopment in the area. This area was identified by Staff as a prime location for needed general commercial redevelopment and as a targeted area for commercial preservation. 100, 102, 104, 106, 112, and 204 George Bush Drive East were recently rezoned to General Commercial at the request of the property owners. Since that time, staff hosted a property owner meeting to discuss the potential of City-initiated rezoning on the remainder of the block. Two property owners in attendance preferred to retain the single-family zoning designation on the property until the time that they sold their properties. Those properties are located at the north end of the block and have not been included in this rezoning request. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. At approximately 9:24 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:24 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Rektorik and a second by Councilmember M/oore, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance 2017- 3908, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning RM072717 Minutes Page 9 Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial for approximately one acre of land being College Hills Estates Block 18, Lots 5, 6, 9 and 11, more generally located at 108, 110, 200 &206 George Bush Drive East. The motion carried unanimously. 11. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2017- 3909, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance", Section 7.6.B, Section 7.6.D.4, and Section 7.9.B of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas regarding landscaping for single-family developments, screening of retaining walls, and visual treatment of drainage features such as concrete weirs, outlets, and spillways. Lance Simms, Director of Planning and Development, stated that the amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 12-7.6.B provides flexibility regarding the application of the landscaping provisions for single-family development.More specifically,it provides the ability to disperse the required trees throughout a townhouse development and clarifies that trees are required with each new single-family home. The amendment to UDO Section 12-7.6.D.4 eliminates language that requires screening of concrete retaining walls, off-street loading areas, and utility connections. The amendment to UDO Section 12-7.9.B eliminates the requirement to provide visual treatment for concrete weirs, drainage outlets, spillways, etc. These proposed amendments to the UDO were identified as part of the Planning & Zoning Commission's Plan of Work. The single-family landscape item was identified in the 2016 P&Z Plan of Work. The remaining items regarding screening or visual treatment of exposed concrete retaining walls and concrete drainage features were identified in the 2017 P&Z Plan of Work. The Planning &Zoning Commission considered this item at their July 6, 2017 meeting and voted of 6-0 to recommend approval. At approximately 9:29 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:29 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Moore and a second by Councilmember Rektorik, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance 2017- 3909, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance", Section 7.6.B, Section 7.6.D.4, and Section 7.9.B of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas regarding landscaping for single-family developments, screening of retaining walls, and visual treatment of drainage features such as concrete weirs, outlets, and spillways.

Carol Cotter, Acting City Engineer, stated that the public utility easement abandonment will accommodate a building expansion on the CSISD property. It appears the PUE was once used to provide primary electric service to the building; however, recent improvements to the site have changed the limits of the public-to-private portion of the electrical service and the easement is no longer necessary.
