Parkland Dedication Parkland fee in lieu will be required in the amount of $1,261.00 per lot ($3,783.00 total). Impact Fees Subject to citywide impact fees—water, sanitary sewer, and roadway. Impact fees will be dependent upon timing of the building permit application date. Traffic Impact Analysis Not required Compliant with Comprehensive Plan (including Master Plans) and Unified Development Ordinance Yes, a revision is not necessary to the Master Plan. This replat complies with the subdivision regulations. Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes, with the exception of a discretionary item for adequate street access. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the replat of Pebble Creek Subdivision Phase 2C. If the discretionary item is denied, the replat must also be denied. Supporting Materials 1.

As stated, ‘When there are more than thirty (30) lots to be served by external street connections, a minimum of two (2) street connections to external paved public streets shall be required.’ The Commission may allow a Remote Emergency Access where development phasing or constraints of the land prevent the provision of a second street connection. The property shares one street connection with Stonebriar Circle and is currently non-conforming to the current subdivision regulations. It is constrained by the surrounding property which is limiting its ability to provide a second street connection. The applicant proposes a remote emergency access off Pebble Creek Parkway to serve as the second street connection. The entrance will have two 20 foot gates and will be outfitted with a knox box, allowing the second street connection to be accessible only to the Fire Department. The remote emergency access will be connected to an existing alley on the west side of the property, allowing the Fire Department to adequately access and service the residents of the entire subdivision if necessary. The College Station Fire Department has approved this proposal.

Case #REZ2018-000012 Summary: This request is amending the zoning district boundaries on the property to rezone approximately 21 acres from PDD Planned Development District to WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban. At the time the PDD Planned Development District was adopted, the City of College Station had not adopted the Wellborn Zoning Districts. Additionally, a portion of this tract, approximately 2 acres, was recently rezoned to WC Wellborn Restricted Suburban on May 24, 2018. This rezoning allows the property owner include this tract with the adjoining 34 acres, recently zoned WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban on April 12, 2018, to create a cohesive subdivision. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is located within the Wellborn Community Plan area with a Future Land Use and Character designation of Wellborn Restricted Suburban. This land use is generally for areas that should have a moderate level of development activities consisting of medium-density single- family residential lots (minimum 20,000 square feet) and may be clustered for reduced lot sizes (minimum 8,000 square feet). Open space should be provided so density is not increased when using the cluster option. Such open space should be in addition to a general open space requirement of 15 percent of the developing area. This land use also allows for 15 percent of the designated area to be used for townhomes, offices, and light commercial. The proposed zoning district of W RS Wellborn Restricted is consistent with the Wellborn Community Plan, which was adopted as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban will allow for the property to be subdivided into 20,000 square foot lots (or 8,000 square feet if clustered). 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 R Rural, WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban, WC Wellborn Commercial, and SC Suburban Commercial. When the subject property and surrounding areas were annexed into the City in 2015, they were zoned R Rural. The Creek Meadows development, immediately to the west, is developed as medium- density residential. The development was master planned prior to annexation and continues to develop according to its PDD ordinance. Earlier this year, on March 12, 2018, City Council approved the rezoning of approximately 34 acres to the south of the subject property to WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban, which allows for the development of medium-density single-family development. The subject property and the aforementioned 34 acres are intended to be a cohesive single-family development to be known as Wellborn Settlement. The surrounding properties along FM 2154 (or Wellborn Road) and future Royder Road, zoned WC Wellborn Commercial and SC Suburban Commercial would allow for the development of low-density commercial uses that provide services to nearby neighborhoods. WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban 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: The site is approximately 21 acres and is proposed to be rezoned W RS Wellborn Restricted Suburban, which would allow for a maximum density of two (2) dwelling units per acre. The existing zoning district would allow for a similar density. The intent of the rezoning is allow the property owner to develop the subject 21 acres cohesively with the adjacent 34 acres that are zoned WRS Wellborn Restricted Suburban. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: Water service will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District. Sanitary sewer service will be provided by CSU. There is an existing 12” sanitary sewer line adjacent to this development within the Royder Road right-of-way. With the recent completion of downstream lift station and force main improvements, there is adequate capacity in the sanitary sewer system to serve the proposed Wellborn Settlement development. Drainage is mainly to the south within the Peach Creek Drainage Basin, where detention is required. The site has access to Royder Road, a future 4 lane minor arterial, and Wellborn Road (FM 2154), a future 4 lane major arterial. Access to the site will be establish ed at the Preliminary Plan stage. Individual lot access will be internal to the site and not permitted along Royder Road or Wellborn Road based on the classification. 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 property is currently zoned PDD Planned Development District, with a base zoning of RS Restricted Suburban. The property is marketable with this zoning district, which would allow for a medium-density subdivision, but would require an amendment to the concept plan due to the rezoning of a portion of the tract to WC Wellborn Commercial.

(Note: Final action regarding this item will be considered at the July 26, 2018 City Council meeting – subject to change.) Background In recent years the number of citizens applying to serve on various city boards, commissions, and committees has gradually declined. On April 26, 2018, the City Secretary discussed the issue with the City Council and the Council’s direction was to modify all the terms for board, commission and committee members to three-year terms (as most are currently two-year terms) and to remove any term limits unless otherwise required by law that currently exist for boards, commissions and committees; with the exception of the Planning and Zoning Commission, which shall continue to be limited to two terms. Making these changes requires amendments to the ordinances establishing the Historic Preservation Committee; the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals; the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board; the Planning and Zoning Commission; and the Design Review Board. The Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Advisory Board, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Design Review Board are established in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Section 3.21 of the UDO requires the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider and make a report to the City Council regarding any proposed text amendments. Therefore, this item is being presented for the Commission’s recommendation. Attachment 1.
