Adjourn The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Approved: Attest: ______________________________ ________________________________ Jeremy Osborne, Acting Chairman Kristen Hejny, Admin Support Specialist Planning & Zoning Commission Planning & Development Services Planning & Zoning Commission June 7, 2018 Scale One multi-family lot, one commercial lot, one common area and 2.3 acres of Right of Way on approximately 27.8 acres Location Generally located on the south side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, approximately 530 feet west of Earl Rudder Freeway South. Applicant Doug French Project Manager Alaina Helton, Senior Planner ahelton@cstx.gov Project Overview In July 2017, the subject property was rezoned to GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay, MF Multi-Family, and NAP Natural Areas Protected. Divided into 3 phases, this preliminary plan is in preparation for the future subdivision of the property into one commercial lot and one multi-family lot and includes the extension and right-of-way dedication of Dartmouth Street (a planned major collector) through the property. Parkland Dedication Parkland for the Multi-Family lot will be determined at time of site plan. Traffic Impact Analysis A TIA was required with the rezoning of the property in 2017. A revision to the TIA was made with the Preliminary Plan to reflect the guaranteed construction of the extension of Dartmouth Street as shown on the Preliminary Plan. Compliant with Comprehensive Plan (including Master Plans) and Unified Development Ordinance Yes, with the exception of waivers being requested with this preliminary plan. Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes, with the exception of waivers being requested for the following section of the subdivision regulations: Section 8.3.G.2.c ‘Blocks’ Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending approval of the waivers and the Preliminary Plan. Supporting Materials 1. Waiver request 2. Vicinity Map & Aerial 3. Application 4. Preliminary Plan Preliminary Plan for Bertrand Subdivision PP2017-000015 SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUESTS The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations contained in the UDO except for the following waiver requests: UDO Section 8.3.G.2.c Blocks (Block Length for Urban and General Commercial) – This section requires that block length be a maximum of 660 feet in Urban designations – Three waivers are being requested for the three blocks that do not meet this requirement as proposed: 1. The block length for Block 1 (the block face on west side of Dartmouth Street, from Harvey Mitchell Parkway South to Morgans Lane) is proposed to be 1,035 feet. The requested waiver for this block is 375 feet which is a 57% increase over the current requirement. 2. The block length for Block 1 (the block face along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, between Dartmouth Street and Texas Avenue) is 1,820 feet. The requested waiver for this block is 1,220 feet which is a 184% increase over the current requirement. 3. The block length for Block 2 (block face along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South from Dartmouth Street) is 677 feet. The requested waiver for this block is 17 feet which is a 3% increase over the current requirement. UDO Section 8.3.G.4.b Blocks (Block Perimeter for Urban) – This section requires that block perimeter be a maximum of 2,000 feet in Urban designations – One waiver is being requested for Block 1, that does not meet this requirement as proposed: 4. The block perimeter for Block 1 (includes property located along the south side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, bounded on the west by the future extension of Dartmouth Street, running along the north side of Morgans Lane, and bounded on the east by Texas Avenue) is proposed to be 4,500 feet. The requested waiver for this block is 2,500 feet which is a 125% increase over the current requirement. In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver (Staff findings are in italics). Each waiver request is addressed individually in the order listed above: Waiver 1: Section 8.3.G.2.c Blocks – Block 1 (block face on west side of Dartmouth Street, from Harvey Mitchell Parkway South to Morgans Lane) has a block length of approximately 1,035 feet, which exceeds the maximum by 375 feet. Staff recommends approval of this waiver request. 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 block is within 375 feet (57%) of the required 660-foot block length. Proposed Block 1 is zoned Multi-Family and the lots to the south and west are part of the Lake View Acres subdivision. It is unlikely that the adjacent property to the west will replat, requiring the extension of the street given that it is entitled for General Commercial uses. Requiring a break in the west block face along Dartmouth Street would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of the land. 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, Block 1 can still be subdivided. However, it would require a street through the multi-family lot that is intended to be developed as a unified multi-family project. A break in the block would require a street through the lot, and this street would likely not be extended to Texas Avenue given that the properties to the west are platted and currently entitled for General Commercial uses. 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 Granting this wavier would not be detrimental or injurious to other property. The multi-family tract has frontage and two potential points of access along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, and will have frontage onto the future Dartmouth Street (major collector) extension and Morgans Lane. 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. The granting of the waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of the other land, as the surrounding properties are platted and have frontage to existing Right-of-Way. Waiver 2: Section 8.3.G.2.c Blocks – Block 1 (block face along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, between Dartmouth Street and Texas Avenue) has a block length of 1,820 feet, which exceeds the maximum by 1,160 feet. Staff recommends approval of this waiver request. 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; Requiring the introduction of a street within this block face would deprive the applicant of a reasonable use of the land as Block 1 would be the only lot with frontage to the new street. The preliminary plan proposes that the multi-family lot will have frontage along future Dartmouth Street (major collector) and Morgans Lane. Additionally, requiring a street along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South would create two lots, and the multi-family lot (Block 1, Lot 1) is intended to be developed as a unified multi-family project. 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, a break in the block would require a street through the multi-family lot, which is intended to be developed as a unified multi-family project. Additionally, the multi-family lot (Block 1, Lot 1) would be the only lot with frontage to the new street. 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 Granting this wavier would not be detrimental or injurious to other property. The multi-family tract has frontage and two potential points of access along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, and will have frontage onto the future Dartmouth Street (major collector) extension and Morgans Lane. Additionally, breaking the lot will not provide additional access to other properties within the vicinity. 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. The granting of the waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of the other land, as the surrounding properties are platted and have frontage to Right-of- Way. Waiver 3: Section 8.3.G.2.c Blocks – Block 2 (block face along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South from Dartmouth Street) has a block length of 677 feet, which exceeds the maximum by 17 feet. Staff recommends approval of this waiver request. 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 block is within 17 feet (3%) of the required 660-foot block length. Strict adherence to the 660-foot maximum would shift the entire width of the new street onto the adjacent Townhome tract, rather than the proposed location that provides access to both the Townhome and Commercial tract. 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, requiring that the new street be entirely located on the Townhome tract would be disproportionate to the 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 Granting this wavier would not be detrimental or injurious to other property. This block is located is only 17 feet short of the 660-foot maximum length, and the location is advantageous to both the Townhome and Commercial tract. 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. The granting of the waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of the other land, as both adjacent tracts have access along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, and will both have access to future Dartmouth Street. Waiver 4: Section 8.3.G.2.b Blocks – Block 1 (includes property located along the south side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, bounded on the west by t he future extension of Dartmouth Street, running along the north side of Morgans Lane, and bounded on the east by Texas Avenue) has a block perimeter of approximately 4,500 feet, which exceeds the maximum by 2,500 feet. Staff recommends approval of this waiver request. 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 block is within 2,500 feet (125%) of the required 2,000-foot block perimeter, and is part of the Lake View Acres subdivision. Requiring the introduction of a street within the block face fronting Harvey Mitchell Parkway South would deprive the applicant of a reasonable use of the land, as Block 1 would be the only block with frontage to the new street. Additionally, requiring a break in the west block face along Dartmouth Street would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of the land, as it is unlikely that the adjacent property to the west will replat, requiring the extension of an additional street from future Dartmouth Street, given that it is entitled for General Commercial uses. 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, Block 1 can still be subdivided. However, it would require a street through the multi-family lot that is intended to be developed as a unified multi-family project. A break in the block would require a street through the lot, and this street would likely not be extended to Texas Avenue given that the properties to the west are platted and currently entitled for General Commercial uses. Additionally, the multi-family block (Block 1) would be the only block with frontage to the new street. 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 Granting this wavier would not be detrimental or injurious to other property. All of the surrounding properties are platted and have frontage onto existing right -of- way. Additionally, breaking the block will not provide additional access to other properties within the vicinity. 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. The granting of the waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of the other land as the surrounding properties are platted and have frontage to existing Right-of-Way. Summary of staff recommendations Staff is recommending approval to all four waivers.

Case #REZ2017-000033 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the June 14th 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 31 acres located at the southwest intersection of Arrington Road and Greens Prairie Road West, from R Rural and GC General Commercial to PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning of GC General Commercial and MF Multi-Family to provide a mix of uses with central open space. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and is a part of Growth Area II. The Comprehensive Plan recommends that the Urban portion of Growth Area II, described as land nearest the William D. Fitch Parkway and State Highway 6 interchange, be used for intense land use activities including general commercial activities, office uses, townhomes, apartments, and vertical mixed-use. This Growth Area further limits residential development to no more than 25% of this total area designated as Urban. Currently within Growth Area II, approximately 16% of the area designated as Urban is zoned or developed for residential uses. With the addition of the multi-family uses proposed with the PDD Planned Development District (approximately 16 acres), the total Urban area dedicated to residential uses would be approximately 21%. The proposed PDD Planned Development District permits general commercial and multi- family uses consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the Growth Area II residential allowance, while also leaving room for additional residential development in the future. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: A portion of the property is currently zoned GC General Commercial and allows for commercial, retail and office uses. The R Rural zoning that was designated at the time of annexation allows for large lot residential and/or agricultural uses, which is not compatible or supportive of more intense development that is anticipated for the area. The proposed commercial and multi-family uses are compatible with the adjacent Caprock Crossing and Greens Prairie Center development, but incompatible with the adjacent 7.5 and 4.9 acre home sites. However, given the property’s close proximity to multiple new developments in the area, and its designation of Growth Area II in the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed PDD Planned Development District with a GC General Commercial and MF Multi-Family base is appropriate to support the planned growth of the area. 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the districts that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The property is relatively flat and naturally vegetated. The proposed commercial and multi-family land uses are appropriate as they support the uses planned in the vicinity. The proposed development is in proximity to the Tower Point and Caprock developments, and will support the current southward growth of commercial development in the area. The mix of commercial and multi- family provide diversity in the housing options in the south College Station area while in close proximity to major general commercial concentrations. 4. 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 is zoned GC General Commercial and R Rural. While the large lot residential uses allowed under the R Rural zoning district are marketable, the current development patterns on nearby property and the anticipated change in in the area moving forward make R Rural a less desirable land use compared to more intense general commercial and multi-family alternatives. 5. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 12-inch waterlines along the west side of Arrington Road and the south side of Greens Prairie Road West. An 8-inch sanitary sewer main traverses the tract along the eastern side of the property. Currently, there is limited downstream sanitary sewer capacity, and the applicant is aware that improvements will be needed in the future to support full build out of this development. Stormwater from the site is split between the Spring Creek and Alum Creek drainage basins, generally discharging to the north and south, respectively. Detention is required in this area and will be further analyzed with the site plan. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property has frontage to Arrington Road and Greens Prairie Road West which are both classified as 4-lane Minor Arterials on the Thoroughfare Plan. Arrington Road is currently constructed as a Major Collector and Greens Prairie Road West is currently constructed as a 4-lane undivided Minor Arterial. A City capital project is currently under way to construct a traffic signal at the intersection of these two roadways and create dual left turns on eastbound Greens Prairie and to add a thru/right lane. The design for a future City capital project has begun that will widen Greens Prairie Road West to 4 lanes with a raised center median. The proposed development is planned to have two driveways to Arrington Road and one right- in/right-out driveway to Greens Prairie Road West. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was submitted and analyzed ten existing and proposed intersections. The TIA included the proposed City capital projects as well as anticipated traffic from other r ecently approved development projects. The TIA indicates all intersections will function at an acceptable level of service and the northern driveway on Arrington Road is planned to have a right-turn deceleration lane. REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed land uses as well as access points external and internal to the property. 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: 1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area; 2. 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; 3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development; 4. 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; 5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities; 6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and 7. 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 Concept Plan proposes a mix of Multi-Family and Commercial development with a base zoning of MF Multi-Family and GC General Commercial as shown on the Concept Plan. The stated purpose and intent of the requested PDD is “to create a dense, urban development that directly overlooks a large, common, centrally located greenspace/open space to create a distinctive destination that attracts people and encourages social interaction. Buildings and patios will front the open space, providing comfortable and relaxing views for residents, tenants and customers. The open space will be utilized by tenants, retail and restaurant customers and the general public, and will provide pedestrian connectivity through the site”. The Concept Plan proposes Multi-Family development that fronts Arrington Road and a future Public Way, with commercial uses located along Arrington Road and Greens Prairie Road fronting a common central open space. Commercial buildings adjacent to the central open space will be subject to sign and non-residential architectural requirements, with some minor modifications. A new Public Way is proposed to cross through the property, extending from Arrington Road through the development and connecting into Greens Prairie Road. Community Benefits: The applicant offers the following as community benefits: • Sense of Place – Large, common, pedestrian-oriented open space for public use with vehicles and traffic concentrated away from pedestrian activity. • Connectivity – Pedestrian access will be provided to the open space with planned sidewalk connections to the various uses within the development. • Placemaking – Buildings and patios fronting onto the open space will create a distinctive destination that attracts people and encourages social interaction. • Sustainability – Provides a place to live, work, shop, and play. The goal is to create a development which offers amenities not necessarily found in every other development or neighborhood. The density of retail/office components in a walkable environment allow for the potential of office workers to walk to lunch or to shop. Furthermore, the Multi-Family units allow for the potential of employees to work and live in close proximity, which reduces automobile trips generated. Meritorious Modification Requested: A list of modifications requested through the PDD Planned Development District development standards are included in the document titled “PDD Supplemental Standards”, attached to this staff report. These modifications include requirements for Permitted Uses, Off-Street Parking and Subdivision regulations and minor modifications to the NRA and Sign standards as outlined in the Exhibit B standards. A summary of the meritorious modifications is listed below: Permitted Uses GC General Commercial uses along with multi-family land uses as allowed in Multi-Family except as follows. 1. To contribute to a Live-Work-Play environment and provide entertainment uses within walking distance, it is proposed that Bar/Tavern/Night Clubs be allowed by right in the areas designated as Multi-Family on the Concept Plan subject to all applicable regulations, including not being located within 300 feet from a church, public hospital, and public school as defined in the Code of Ordinances. 2. In order to mitigate adverse impacts of adjacent residential property, in addition to the required screening between Multi-Family and Single-Family uses, the applicant proposes that Outdoor areas/patios or entrances to a Bar/Tavern/Night Club not be located on the side of the building adjacent to single-family land use and/or zoning. 3. To create a destination restaurant district with outdoor patio space overlooking the Open Space Area, Restaurants with a Drive-through are prohibited within the PDD. Parking Off-Site and Mixed Use Shared Parking is permitted in areas designated as General Commercial on the Concept Plan, subject to distance requirements and approval of a shared parking plan. Signs The sign regulations for the base zoning districts of GC General Commercial and MF Multi-Family will be utilized for this development with the following modifications for General Commercial: 1. The area permitted for attached signs will be calculated per the UDO, except that a maximum of seven hundred fifty (750) square feet of Attached Signage is allowed for any one (1) tenant. Attached Signs may be cantilevered away from the structure so long as the sign does not project more than three (3) feet from the connecting façade. An attached sign can be parallel or perpendicular to the face of the building; 2. Light Pole signs are permitted and may be constructed of cloth, canvas, or other flexible material provided such signage is maintained in good condition and complies with the following restrictions: a. No part of any sign attached to a light pole will be allowed to overhang or encroach into the public right-of-way b. Light pole signs shall not exceed twelve (12) square feet in area and shall have a minimum of eight (8) feet of clearance from the grade below; c. Light pole signs shall only be attached to one (1) side of a light pole; d. Light pole signs shall not project more than three (3) feet from the edge of the light pole; and e. Light pole signs constructed of cloth, canvas, or other flexible material shall be secured on a minimum of two (2) opposing sides to prevent wind-driven movement. 3. Free-Standing Multi-Tenant Signs shall be permitted in the two locations shown on the Sign Plan Exhibit. 4. The Subdivision Sign as shown on the Sign Plan Exhibit shall be no greater than two hundred (200) square feet in area and no greater than twenty (20) feet in height and must be set back at least twenty (20) feet from the back of curb. 5. Wayfinding Signs are permitted and shall be internal to the development. Wayfinding Signs shall in no case be greater than fifty (50) square feet in area or greater than six (6) feet in height. Non-Residential Architecture (NRA) Standards In order to offset the proposed modifications to the NRA standards and create a pedestrian- oriented open space area, facades that face open spaces are subject to the same non-residential architectural standards as facades that face a right-of-way or public way (i.e. building material and architectural relief elements, etc.). 1. Building Mass and Design: a. Horizontal Façade Articulation – For all properties within this PDD the vertical wall plane of any façade visible from public right-of-way, street, or public way shall project and/or recess by a minimum of two (2) feet so that no more than sixty-six (66) percent of the façade is on the same plane. 2. Building Entry Design: b. Buildings that have multiple ground floor tenants or multiple primary building entrances shall have all entrances treated architecturally, unless the entrances are for service or maintenance areas. 3. Architectural Relief: a. In order to provide visual interest, the first two (2) stories of any primary façade or façade visible from a public right-of-way or public way shall use at least one (1) architectural relief element for every fifty (50) horizontal feet, or part thereof, of façade length. b. The design elements may be grouped or spaced as needed along the façade, though in no case shall more than one hundred (100) feet of continuous horizontal length be void of a relief element. c. Architectural relief is not required for façades, or parts of a façade, that are within twenty (20) feet of another building that screens the façade. 4. Qualifying Architectural Relief Elements: a. In addition to the architectural relief elements permitted for property zoned GC General Commercial as outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance as it exists or may be amended, the following types of architectural relief may be utilized to meet the requirements of this Section: • Covered front porch extending along at least fifty (50) percent of building façade and projecting a minimum of four (4) feet from the face of the building, if used on a façade where this feature is not already required; • Eaves in excess of eighteen (18) inches, if used on a façade that does not have a covered front porch; • Transom windows; • Recessed entries, stoops, porches, or arcades; • Cornices, corbelling, quoining, or stringcourses; and • Other architectural relief elements that provide a visual interest to the affected façade and are of a physical scale to possess architectural significance may be approved by the Administrator. 5. Other Mass and Design Requirements: a. For all properties within this PDD – Loading docks, overhead doors and service entries shall not face the Open Space Areas or a public right-of-way. These areas may be located on a façade facing a public way. In the case that more than two (2) façades face a public right-of-way, the Administrator shall determine the most appropriate façade for such activities. Setbacks In order to create a distinctive destination that attracts people and encourages social interaction between the commercial uses and open space, the following portions of a building containing non-residential uses may encroach into required Building Setbacks adjacent to the Open Space Area(s): eaves, roof extensions, porches, terraces, steps, attached signs, lighting fixtures, railing, balconies, canopies, awnings, window sills, belt courses, cornices, outdoor seating areas, patios, sidewalk cafes, plazas, water features and similar improvements approved by the Director of Development Services. Subdivision Regulations 1. Street Projection – A Street Projection shall not be required to the adjacent single-family property along the southern boundary of the property. 2. Block Length – Block Length and Block Perimeter shall be provided as shown on the Concept Plan.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Proposed zoning and uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. REZONING SUITABILITY Because this site is located at a highly traveled intersection, this site is suitable for commercial development.

This site is in the urban land use which is not consistent with the rural zoning designation. OTHER REASONS The purpose of this PDD re-zoning is to create a set of reasonable regulations that encourages the responsible development of a dense, urban commercial center with nearby residences, connected by a common area green space. The buildings envisioned on this site will likely be multi-story, so adapting the base UDO regulations to fit these larger scale buildings is required. BUILDING HEIGHTS Building heights will range from 1-5 stories PROPOSED DRAINAGE The majority of this site drains to the southeast. The remainder drains towards Greens Prairie Road. All drainage will be detained onsite maintaining existing flows offsite. VARIATIONS SOUGHT A list of modifications requested through the PDD Planned Development District development standards are included in the attachment titled “Zoning Narrative – Exhibit B”, attached to this application. These modifications include but are not limited to standards related to Off-Street Parking, Signs, Non-Residential Architectural Standards and Subdivision regulations. Examples are listed below: Allow adjacent lots to have shared parking Allow a bar/tavern/nightclub use in the Multi-Family portion of the property. No minimum block length / perimeter Prohibit Restaurants with a drive-through COMMUNITY BENEFITS Sense of Place ±Large, common, pedestrian-oriented open space for public use with vehicles and traffic concentrated away from pedestrian activity. Connectivity ±Pedestrian access will be provided to the open space with planned sidewalk connections to the various uses within the development. Placemaking ±Buildings and patios fronting onto the open space will create a distinctive destination that attracts people and encourages social interaction.

The stated purpose and intent of the requested PDD is “to create a dense, urban development that directly overlooks a large, common, centrally located greenspace/open space to create a distinctive destination that attracts people and encourages social interaction. Buildings and patios will front the open space, providing comfortable and relaxing views for residents, tenants and customers. The open space will be utilized by tenants, retail and restaurant customers and the general public, and will provide pedestrian connectivity through the site”. The Concept Plan proposes Multi-Family development that fronts Arrington Road and a future Public Way, with commercial uses located along Arrington Road and Greens Prairie Road fronting a common central open space. Buildings adjacent to the central open space will be a minimum of 2 stories tall, and will be subject to non-residential architectural requirements, with some minor modifications. A new Public Way is proposed to cross through the property, extending from Arrington Road through the development and connecting into Greens Prairie Road. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Sense of Place – Large, common, pedestrian-oriented open space for public use with vehicles and traffic concentrated away from pedestrian activity. Connectivity – Pedestrian access will be provided to the open space with planned sidewalk connections to the various uses within the development. Placemaking – Buildings and patios fronting onto the open space will create a distinctive destination that attracts people and encourages social interaction. Sustainability –Provides a place to live, work, shop, and play. The goal is to create a development which offers amenities not necessarily found in every other development or neighborhood. The density of retail/office components in a walkable environment allow for the potential of office workers to walk to lunch or to shop. Furthermore, the Multi-Family units allow for the potential of employees to work and live in close proximity, which reduces automobile trips generated. MERITORIOUS MODIFICATIONS: The GC General Commercial zoning district for commercial uses and MF Multi-Family zoning district for the residential uses are the base zoning districts with a modified list of PDD Planned Development District development standards and uses as described in the sections below: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Unless expressly identified and referenced within this ordinance, this development is subject to the regulations of the Unified Development Ordinance as it exists or may be amended. Definitions: 1. Open Space Area– Any area of open space identified on the Concept Plan. 2. Primary Building Facade – The primary face of a building directly facing a Public Street, Public Way or an Open Space Area. Permitted Uses: 1.

Proper pedestrian access is provided such that pedestrians can access both uses within an acceptable distance and that such access is provided safely and conveniently to both uses. c. Off-street parking spaces may be located on a remote and separate lot from the lot on which the principal use is located, given the off-street parking spaces are located no farther than five hundred (500) feet from the building site. The Administrator may waive this distance limitation, if adequate assurances are offered regarding the usability of the shared lot and the principle use (such as the operation of a van or shuttle service, etc.). d. Shared-parking areas shall be considered accessory uses of principal uses that the parking spaces are intended to serve. Shared parking areas shall require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses served by the shared parking area. e.

Case #REZ2018-000007. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Summary: This request is amending the zoning district boundaries on the property to rezone approximately 4.7 acres from GS General Suburban to D Duplex. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is located within the Redmond Terrace Subdivision, Area 1 in the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, with a Future Land Use and Character designation of Urban. This area saw a change in designation in its northern boundary due to the large lot size of the properties in close proximity to George Bush Drive. Those properties changed designation from General Suburban to Neighborhood Conservation, while the subject area remained an Urban designation due to its proximity to higher density development areas. The Urban land use designation is generally for areas that should have a very intense level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. The proposed zoning district D duplex would allow for the development of low to medium density residential uses with a maximum density of 12.0 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning district is consistent with the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, which was adopted as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The surrounding area is currently zoned GS General Suburban, R-6 High Density Multifamily, and PDD Planned Development District and has a variety of existing land uses. The subject property itself is zoned General Suburban but is made up of non-conforming duplexes. Across Anderson Street (a major collector) to the east there are existing high density residential apartments. Adjacent to the west are generally low density detached single family houses. North of the subject property is Oakwood Middle School, and south of the property is a church. The proposed zoning district D Duplex would allow for the development of low to medium density residential uses with a maximum density of 12 dwelling units per acre. The area surrounding Aurora Court currently provides a diversity of housing types and compatible public and civic uses like Oakwood Middle School, A&M Consolidated Middle School, and a church. The proposed D Duplex zoning designation would allow for the preservation of the existing duplex uses on the subject properties and continue to provide a transitional density from lower density GS General Suburban single family development to the west that allows a maximum 8 dwelling units per acre to the R-6 High Density Multi-Family residential development (across Anderson Street) to the east that allows for a maximum 30 dwelling units per acre. Given the existing density of residential uses in the area and the surrounding public and civic uses, the proposed rezoning to D Duplex is appropriate and compatible with the existing context of the surrounding area. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: As there are existing duplexes located on the property, it is physically suitable for the proposed D Duplex zoning district. The applicant is proposing to rezone 18 lots, each of which, as currently platted, meet the required minimum 3,500 square foot lot size per dwelling unit, and 60 foot lot width with approved rear or side yard parking in the D Duplex zoning district. Each lot has individual driveway access from Aurora Court. The proposed D Duplex zoning district is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, storm water, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: Water and sanitary sewer service will be provided by CSU. There is an existing 4- inch water line and an existing 6-inch sanitary sewer line adjacent to this development within the Aurora Court right-of -way. The 6" sanitary sewer line servicing this area has been identified for replacement and up-sizing by the City’s Wastewater Master Plan though the project is currently unscheduled and unfunded. If a major construction project for this area is proposed, the city may be interested in participating financially for the coordinated up-sizing of this line. Currently, there is adequate capacity in the water and sanitary sewer system to serve the existing development, but upsizing of sanitary sewer line may be required depending on the intensity of future development and projected sewer demands within the D Duplex zoning district. The sites have access to Aurora Court, an existing local street. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. 5. The marketability of the property: The subject properties are currently zoned GS General Suburban and are presently non-conforming duplex uses. The desired future use of the property is duplex. Due to the nonconforming status through this area, the properties are less marketable as currently zoned than if rezoned for a duplex use, which allows for the existing structures to be rebuilt as duplexes.
