Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Financially Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends Council approval
Summary: The CJD's mission is to create and support programs that protect people from crime,
reduce the number of crimes committed, and to promote accountability, efficiency, and effectivenss
within the criminal justice system. CJD focuses on the enhancement of Texas' capacity to prevent
crime, provide service and treatment options, enforce laws, train staff and volunteers and the
restoration of crime victims to full physical, emotional and mental health.
This CJD grant will provide 100% funding for the purchase of license plate readers (LPR) and an

officers time to react. The evidence refrigerator will provide additional space for evidence that
requires cold storage such as sexual assault kits and DWI kits.
There is no local match requirement for CJD, but grant funding will only be provided for the initial
equiment purchase. Due to this, any other associated costs such as maintenance, repair, or
replacement will be the rsponsibility of the grantee agency.
Budget & Financial Summary: The purchase of the LPR will cost approximately $17,495. The
evidence refrigerator will cost approximately $4,000.

File #:17-0051,Version:1
The applicant requests a rezoning from GC General Commercial to MF Multi-Family in compliance
with the long-range plan for the area.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map
amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is shown as Urban on the
Future Land Use and Character Map. This designation is for areas that have a very intense level
of development consisting of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. This land use
also allows for general commercial, office uses, business parks, and vertical mixed-use in growth
and redevelopment areas.
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 designation states that land with an
Urban designation on the Future Land Use and Character Map is appropriate for intense land use
activities mentioned above but limits residential activities, excluding units in vertical mixed-use
structures, to 25 percent. There is currently one developed residential use, and one site plan for
residential use under review in this growth area. There is also a proposed rezoning under
consideration for multi-family on approximately 12 acres to the south of this subject property along
Arrington Road. Considering these three locations of existing, developing, and potential
residential sites, approving this request is within the 25 percent allowance, while still allowing
room for future residential development.
College Station, TX Printed on 2/3/2017Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0051,Version:1
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 surrounding area to the north and west is
currently zoned GC General Commercial and OV Overlay and is either developed or has
development planned/entitled for commercial uses. Property to the east, across Old Arrington
Road, is located outside of City limits in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Property in the
ETJ is not subject to zoning or land use controls. Property to the south is currently zoned R
Rural and is undeveloped.
The larger area includes property currently entitled and planned for commercial uses near the
intersection of State Highway 6 South, William D. Fitch South (State Highway 40), and
Arrington Road a 2-lane major collector. While currently zoned R Rural, land to the south
across Arrington Road 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 uses
in compliance with the City’s long range plan.
The proposed rezoning is compatible with present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the 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 MF Multi-Family on approximately 10 acres. The subject property is located to
the rear of the Greens Prairie Center and Caprock Crossing subdivisions which currently
contain commercial uses. The greater area, located near the intersection of State Highway 6
South and William D. Fitch Parkway (State Highway 40), is currently zoned for commercial
uses.
While currently entitled for commercial uses, the long range plan for this area also includes
opportunity for higher density residential. With quick access to a grocery store, retail shops,
restaurants, and service uses, higher density residential is suitable.

File #:17-0051,Version:1
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: GC General Commercial
allows for retail sales and service uses that function to serve the entire community and its visitors.
Corridor overlays were established to enhance the image of gateways, key entry points and major
corridors in the city. The OV Overlay offers heightened standards for setbacks, signage, building
colors, and special restrictions for fuel sales. The subject property is part of the Greens Prairie
Center Subdivision and located directly next to the Caprock Crossing Subdivision. Both of these
subdivisions are made of existing commercial development, with available land planned for future
commercial development.
While the subject property is suitable for commercial uses, the Future Land Use and Character
Map does allow for rezoning requests for further residential development in the 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 GC General Commercial with approximately 0.3 acres covered by the OV Overlay
and has marketability under this designation. When developing under this designation, the
heightened standards for setbacks, signage, building colors, and restrictions for fuel sales, put in
place by the overlay would not be applicable due to the small area in the rear corner of the
property covered by the overlay. Any development, commercial or residential, would be able to
develop using the minimum standards of the Unified Development Ordinance. The applicant
states that there are other lots in the area zoned for commercial that are undeveloped and the
property is also marketable for multi-family.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use:Water service will be provided by the City of
College Station via an existing 12-inch water line stubbed to the property from the northern public
way. There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main along the northern side of the tract. The
subject property is located in the Alum Creek Drainage Basin. The subject property drains east
towards Old Arrington Road. 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. Existing infrastructure appear to currently have capacity
to adequately serve the proposed use.
The subject property has frontage to three roadways: Arrington Road, Old Arrington Road, and a
future public way in the Caprock Crossing/Green Prairie Center subdivisions. Arrington Road is
designated as a two-lane Major Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan and this section is
constructed to the full cross section with two-way center turn lane, bike lanes, and sidewalks. The
section of Old Arrington Road adjacent to the property is a County roadway outside the City limits
and is constructed as a two-lane rural section. The future public way will consist of a two-way
drive with a sidewalk on each side that will connect Old Arrington Road with Greens Prairie Road
West, an existing pubic way, and will be constructed at the time of adjacent site development. If
driveway access to Old Arrington Road is proposed with the site plan application, the County will
need to approve the driveway location and design before the site plan can be approved.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was required with the rezoning application. The following
intersections were included in the analysis:
·William D. Fitch Parkway(SH 40)/Arrington Road,
·Arrington Road/Greens Prairie Road West,
College Station, TX Printed on 2/3/2017Page 4 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0051,Version:1
·Arrington Road/Old Arrington Road,
·Arrington Road/South Oaks Drive,
·Arrington Road/Harpers Ferry Road,
·South Oaks Drive/SH 6 southbound frontage road,
·A proposed driveway to Arrington Road, and a proposed driveway to Old Arrington
Road.
Another multi-family rezoning request is proposed on Arrington Road and the TIA incorporated
the anticipated traffic demand associated with that potential project in the analysis as future
development. The TIA also included a future growth rate of 10%.
TIAs evaluate intersections for Level of Service (LOS), which grades an intersection’s anticipated
operating condition on a scale of “A” through “F” (best to worst). The Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) defines LOS “D”, or better, as an acceptable condition while LOS “E” or “F”
requires traffic mitigation. The TIA found the intersection of Arrington Road/Greens Prairie Road
West is currently operating at a LOS “D” with eastbound approach of Greens Prairie Road West
failing at LOS “F”. The City is currently in the design process for a traffic signal and turn lane
improvements at the Arrington Road/Greens Prairie Road West intersection. The design is
anticipated to be completed in Spring 2017 with installation occurring in the latter portion of 2017.
The TIA included the traffic signal and turn lane in the analysis with a development build-out year
of 2019. With the installation of the traffic signal at Arrington Road/Greens Prairie Road West by
the City, all intersections are anticipated to operate at LOS “D” or better and no other roadway or
traffic control improvements are recommended as a result of the proposed development.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending the
Comprehensive Plan-Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban for
approximately 6.3 acres generally located at northeast intersection of Crescent Pointe Parkway and
Copperfield Parkway.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their January 19,
2017 meeting and voted 6-0 to recommend approval.
Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Suburban Commercial to Urban
designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map in order to rezone the
property to allow for townhome development on 6.3 acres located northeast of Copperfield Parkway
and Crescent Pointe Parkway. The subject property and properties to the east, west and south are
designated Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
The property to the north is designated as Urban.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The subject
property is located just south of areas designated Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
College Station, TX Printed on 2/3/2017Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0053,Version:1
Use and Character Map. The adjacent properties are developed as townhomes and zoned R-4
Multi-Family. Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the land uses in the area have not
significantly changed.
In recent years, due to the growth in the market, there is a larger need for diverse housing
choices and a growing need for affordable housing options within the City. The 11-acre property
at the end of Crescent Pointe Parkway, zoned as R-4 Multi-Family, is currently in the
development review process for Crescent Pointe Apartments. Within the vicinity, there has been a
growing request for residential development on entitled property. The City of Bryan, within a mile
of the subject property, has seen a growth in residential and medical facilities in this area. It is
evident that there is growing demand and development pressure on the east side of the bypass in
both College Station and Bryan.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use and Character Map designation for approximately 6.3 acres from Suburban Commercial to
Urban. The amendment would allow for a more intense level of development activity, such as
townhomes, duplexes and high-density multi-family. Under the existing land use designation,
residential development would not be possible.
3.Availability of adequate information:An Urban designation allows for future
development of high-density residential. College Station Utilities will provide water and sewer
service to the property and is available to the site. College Station Utilities (CSU) serves
properties in this area and is able to provide domestic water & sanitary sewer service to the
proposed development, but additional infrastructure improvements may be required when the
property is subdivided. A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required due to the size of the property.
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.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies relevant strategies to achieve this goal, specifically the
strategy to develop and maintain, through regular review, a land use plan that identifies,
establishes and enhances community character. The subject tract is adjacent to property that is
Urban on the Future Land Use Plan and developed as high density residential. Additionally, non-
residential land uses will remain on the west side of Copperfield Parkway, a minor arterial. The
proposed designation is in an area that is sensitive and complementary to the surrounding land
uses.
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:
The existing Future Land Use & Character designation on the property is Suburban
Commercial. This land use 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, Urban, is intended for area that should have a very intense level of
development activities. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density
College Station, TX Printed on 2/3/2017Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0053,Version:1
apartments. The request is appropriate at this location given its consistency with the existing land
uses, townhome and multi-family, within the vicinity.
In a general urban context, Copperfield Parkway is a 4-lane minor arterial on the City’s
Thoroughfare Plan. Due to the subject property’s limited length of frontage along Copperfield
Parkway, access will be limited. Crescent Pointe, a local street, currently provides access to all
the residential development along the street. Given the multiple driveway entrance requested by
commercial properties, an Urban land use may better serve the existing street network and
thoroughfare.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The proposed amendment to Urban would
allow zoning for high-density residential uses, such as townhomes and apartments. Properties to
the north and east, along Crescent Pointe Parkway, are developed or proposed for such uses.
Amending the Comprehensive Plan to Urban in this area would compatible with the surrounding
area. Additionally, this land use will allow for more affordable housing opportunities within the
City.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: College Station Utilities (CSU) will provide water service via an
existing 8-inch main along Crescent Pointe Parkway. Sewer will also be provided by CSU via an
existing 12-inch sanitary sewer main along Crescent Pointe and Copperfield Parkway that is
treated at the Carter’s Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The property is within the Harvey Hillside drainage basin. Detention may be required if the
property was not included in the existing regional detention pond. Drainage and other public
infrastructure, required with platting or site plan, will be required to be designed and constructed
in accordance with the B/CS Design Guidelines.
Currently, all existing infrastructure appears to 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 property is located in the
Harvey Hillside drainage basin. This area is not recognized as environmentally sensitive. To the
northeast, the adjacent property is owned by the City of College Station and is protected from
future development given the Harvey Hillside Creek Tributary that exists within the property.
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 Urban on 6.3 acres does not limit the general goals of the
Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will allow for dense residential development, similar to
adjacent properties, and provide additional affordable housing opportunities for residents of
College Station.

D. General
1. Conflict. All parts of the College Station Comprehensive Plan and any amendments
thereto shall be harmonized where possible to give effect to all. Only in the event of an
irreconcilable conflict shall the later adopted ordinance prevail and then only to the

constraints.
3. General nature of Future Land Use and Character. The College Station Comprehensive
Plan, in particular the Future Land Use and Character Map found in A.3 above and
any adopted amendments thereto, shall not be nor considered a zoning map, shall not
constitute zoning regulations or establish zoning boundaries and shall not be site or
parcel specific but shall be used to illustrate generalized locations.
4. General nature of College Station Comprehensive Plan. The College Station
Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and
Greenways Master Plan, Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, Water System
Master Plan and any additions, amendments, master plans and subcategories thereto
depict same in generalized terms including future locations; and are subject to
modifications by the City to fit local conditions, budget constraints, cost participation,
and right-of-way availability that warrant further refinement as development occurs.
Linear routes such as bikeways, greenways, thoroughfares, pedestrian ways, waterlines
and sewer lines that are a part of the College Station Comprehensive Plan may be
relocated by the City 1,000 feet from the locations shown in the Plan without being
considered an amendment thereto.
5. Reference. The term College Station Comprehensive Plan includes all of the above in
its entirety as if presented in full herein, and as same may from time to time be
amended.”

File #:17-0052,Version:1
The property is currently zoned O Office and the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map currently designates this property as Suburban Commercial. The applicant seeks a
use that is not permitted in O Office and is asking for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
Rezoning to allow for townhome use.
The applicant requests a rezoning from O Office to T Townhouse. If the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment is approved, the rezoning will be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. If the
amendment is denied, the rezoning will not be in compliance.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map
amendments:
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The property owner has requested an amendment
to the Future Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban. If approved, the
subject area will be designated as Urban. This designation is intended for very intense level of
development activities, consisting of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density multi-family. The
proposed rezoning, T Townhouse, allows for the development of townhomes.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
the character of the neighborhood: The neighboring property to south is zoned GC General
Commercial. It is currently vacant and undeveloped. Across Copperfield Parkway, to the west, the
property is zoned O Office and is developed as an office building. The property to the east, owned
by the City of College Station, is zoned O Office and is encumbered by a drainage easement due
to the Harvey Hillside Tributary that runs within the property and will remain in its existing state.
Adjacent to this property, further east, is a townhome development zoned R-4 Multi-family. Also
zoned R-4 Multi-Family, is the property to the north and is developed multi-family apartments. The
proposed T Townhouse zoning will allow for residential development that is similar or compatible
with present zoning and uses of the nearby properties.
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 property abuts Copperfield
Parkway, a 4-lane Minor Arterial, and Crescent Pointe Parkway, a local street. It is in close
proximity of properties that are currently developed as residential and take access from Crescent
Pointe Parkway. The subject property is suitable for the proposed zoning district given that the
uses and density allowed in T Townhouse are similar to existing land uses in the area and is
compatible with the Thoroughfare Plan. The existing zoning district would not allow for residential
development but instead would be required to develop as office.
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
vacant and undeveloped. The zoning district allows uses such as office, day care, and personal
service shops. Although these uses may be suitable on this property, townhomes would be most
suitable given the properties to the north and east are developed for high-density multi-family and
townhome. Additionally, due to the property’s frontage to Copperfield Parkway access will be
limited to one driveway. Other points of access would be on Crescent Pointe Parkway, which also
serves the residential properties.

File #:17-0052,Version:1
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 marketability of the
property will increase if rezoned to T Townhouse to allow for dense single-family uses given the
use of adjacent property developed in a similar manner. Additionally, this rezoning may allow for
affordable housing opportunities to the residents of College Station.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: An existing 8-inch water main crosses Crescent
Pointe Parkway to the subject tract and there is an existing 12-inch sewer main along the north
and west perimeters of the property. Water and sewer mains will need to be extended to serve all
lots at the time of final platting. All utilities are required to be designed and constructed in
accordance to the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject property is located in the Harvey Hillsides Drainage Basin. There is no FEMA
regulated floodplain in the subject area. Detention will need to be evaluated and designed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines.
The subject tract has frontage to Copperfield Parkway, designated and constructed as a 4-lane
Minor Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan, and Crescent Pointe Parkway, which is a local street
constructed to a minor collector standard. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required with
the rezoning application based on the requested rezoning acreage in accordance with the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO). Right-of-way dedication is not anticipated with the platting of the
tract. Based on street spacing requirements, one access point would be permitted along
Copperfield Parkway, which would need to be shared or also provide access to the adjacent
commercial lot fronting Harvey Road (SH 30). Multiple access points would be permitted along
Crescent Pointe Parkway and would be determined with the platting of the tract.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
