Several members of the Commission stated that the signs placed on site often fall over, and asked staff to explore ways to improve the sign standards.

Commissioner Osborne asked if staff has seen a noticeable increase in community involvement with the additional notifications.

Chairperson Kee expressed her support for staff notifying Home Owner Associations regarding development in their areas, stating that she feels that it has made a difference.

Attending developer sponsored meetings is important when invited, but the amount of work to actually host a meeting is huge. Commissioner Mather stated that it is in a land developer’s interest to proactively engage the community. Mr. Mather also stated that, from a land developer’s standpoint, utilizing neighborhood meetings is likely the most efficient tool for engaging the community. December 21, 2017 P&Z Workshop Meeting Minutes - Amended Page 3 of 4 Commissioner Mather expressed multiple concerns regarding the expansion of current notification practices, especially considering the City Staff currently is doing more than statutorily required. Commissioner Oldham stated that there should be better outreach to the real estate community, and stated that he could take the lead in this regard. Commissioner Mather expressed concerns regarding the expansion of current notification practices. Overall, the Commission felt like the public notification process works well, expressing support for current efforts and expressed concerns regarding any expansion of current notification practices not only from a work load standpoint but from a liability standpoint as well. 8.

January 18, 2018 Regular Agenda Rezoning – Atique-Raza Assisted Living To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Rachel Lazo, Staff Planner Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to PDD Planned Development District on approximately 8 acres of land, located at 3596 Greens Prairie Road West. Case #REZ2017-000088 (Final action on this item is scheduled for the January 25, 2018 City Council Meeting- subject to change) Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the PDD Planned Development District zoning request and associated Concept Plan. Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 8 acres located at the northwest corner of Greens Prairie Road West and Victoria Avenue from R Rural to PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning district of WE Wellborn Estate. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as Wellborn Estate on the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map. The Wellborn Estate land use allows for low-density single-family residential lots, due to its prevailing rural character and public service limitations. The proposed PDD Planned Development District uses a base zoning district of WE Wellborn Estate to allow for a development that will provide senior assisted living to elderly/aging residents of College Station while harmonizing with the surrounding residential areas. The requested zoning is not the low-density, single family use typical in WE Wellborn Estate or a land use not typically associated with WE Wellborn Estate, but the low-density units per acre around a central greenspace, residential-style architecture, as well as allowing the elderly to live closer to residential areas, makes it compatible with the Wellborn Estate land use designation. This zoning request is consistent with the current 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 subject property is adjacent to two thoroughfares, Victoria Avenue and Greens Prairie Road West, both two-lane major collectors. Adjacent to the subject property are developed properties zoned R Rural and RS Restricted Suburban. The proposed development would continue the residential nature of the immediate vicinity while proposing community benefits that would lessen the impact of the added land use for the adjacent residential properties. The community benefits include elements such as residential-style architecture, internal greenspace, and wooden screening fences as shown in the Bulk Variances Letter that is attached to this staff report as supporting information. 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 proposed PDD uses a base zoning district of WE Wellborn Estate with Assisted Living as a permitted use. The development is anticipated to be single-story, with single-family residential architectural styles and density. The applicant has indicated that it will mainly consist of independent living with medical services, as needed, functioning more as a residential use as opposed to a commercial-style nursing home. WE Wellborn Estate also allows for standard single-family development. 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 size and location of the subject property is suitable for residential uses. With the community benefits to appear more residential in nature, the proposed Planned Development District is suitable for this property. 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 be marketed under the current zoning which allows for residential uses. However, according to the applicant, senior housing/assisted living developments are highly desirable in the College Station marketplace. With proximity to multiple nearby medical facilities, assisted living may also be marketable. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn SUD. The subject tract is proposing to utilize on-site septic. The tract is in the Peach Creek Drainage Basin. Access will be via Greens Prairie Road, a future major collector. A Traffic Impact Analysis was not required due to the estimate peak trips that the proposed site is rezoning to. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructures appear to currently have capacity to adequately serve the proposed use. REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and parking areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept Plans:  The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area;  The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section;  The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development;  Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association;  The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;  The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and  The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area. General: The stated purpose and intent of the requested PDD is “to build a unique product that is comparable to the density required in the WE Wellborn Estate zoning district… [and] designed for seniors and others in need of living assistance.” The Concept Plan proposes an assisted living development that physically appears to be similar to the adjacent residential homes. Buildings are proposed to be single-story. Access from Greens Prairie Road is proposed. Modifications Requested: WE Wellborn Estate is proposed as the base zoning district with a modification to increase the maximum density from 0.5 dwelling units per acre, to 0.86 dwelling units per acre. A second modification has been proposed to provide approximately 64 parking spaces for 72 residents. The justification for this request is provided in the accompanying parking demand letter. Lastly, the applicant is requesting a modification to allow Assisted Living as a permitted use in the WE Wellborn Estate zoning district, with the following definition: Assisted Living or Residential Care Facility – A building used or designed for the housing of the aged, and/or mentally or physically handicapped persons who are in need of assistance with activities of daily living and/or health care and/or personal care in a homelike setting and duly licensed by the State of Texas for such purpose. Community Benefits: The applicant offers the following as community benefits:  A unique development to meet the needs of the growing senior population by providing a residential style assisted living option as opposed to a large nursing home style development with on-site care facilities. We will be designing the buildings in a “hill country style” to maintain the unique character of the Wellborn Community as well as blend in with the surrounding residential homes. These design elements would include heavy timber columns, plaster, porches, pitched roofs, dormer windows, and stone as the main building materials; mimicking the surrounding single-family architectural style.  The development will be located in a quiet residential area which is compatible with this residential style assisted living concept.  A location convenient to hospitals and medical facilities which lessens the burden on the City’s transportation system.  The project will include internal greenspace and garden areas (pocket park) located within the complex for the residents to enjoy.  The project will also include internal walkway areas that will meander throughout the garden or pocket park areas for residents to enjoy while being outdoors.  We intend to construct a six-foot high board fence along our two property lines that adjoin Turnberry Circle and the single-family to the north.

These projects are located in Boerne, Plano, Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Longview, San Angelo, Beaumont, Texarkana, Corpus Christi, Lufkin and New Braunfels. Resident Parking - We have observed that between 5% and 40% of residents in Assisted Living facilities bring cars with them. The lower percentages occur in Type B facilities and in facilities that provide transportation services to their residents for things like grocery shopping, doctors appointments & community outings. The higher percentages generally occur in Type A facilities where residents are more able-bodied and independent. Visitor Parking - We have observed that in small house style communities there are on average 2 to 3 visitors parking spaces per household. Overflow is provided by spaces available near adjacent houses and in staff areas. Staff Parking – The number of staff parking space for a facility this size ranges from 20 to 30. The high end number is driven in large part by shift change at day shift. During normal business hours those extra parking spots function as additional visitor parking. Specifically in the City of College Station, the client observed three Assisted Living facilities that had 22 parking spots for 30 current residents with the capacity for 39, 45 parking spots for 45 residents and, 49 parking spots for 98 residents. We are planning for 64 parking spots for 72 residents.
