1. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance No.
2018-4025 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 PDD Planned Development District to GS
General Suburban for approximately 5.2 acres, generally located north of the intersection of
Deacon Drive West and Holleman Drive South.
Laura Gray, Planning and Development, stated that this request is to amend the zoning district
boundaries from PDD Planned Development District to GS General Suburban for approximately
5.2 acres of land. The proposed rezoning to General Suburban is appropriate and compatible with
the existing context of the surrounding area because the surrounding area is developed with a
mixture of single family residences and townhomes all of which are compatible with the types of
uses permitted for the General Suburban zoning district. Ms. Gray stated that this location is
physically suitable for the proposed General Suburban zoning district as the 5.2 tract’s topography
is fairly level and it has over 185 feet of direct frontage along Holleman Road, an existing 2-lane
collector street which is presently being widened through a capital improvement project to a 4-
lane minor arterial. The subject property has available water, wastewater, storm water, and
transportation facilities that are generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the General
Suburban zoning district. Water service will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District.
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by the City of College Station. There are 2 existing 8-inch
sanitary sewer manholes on the property.
Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on June 21, 2018 and voted 5-0 to
recommend approval.

Mitchell Parkway South.
Jade Broadnax, Planning and Development, stated that this request is amending the zoning district
boundaries on the property to rezone approximate ly 2.5 acres from M-1 Light Industrial to GC
General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected. The proposed zoning district GC General
Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Preserved would allow for the development of retail sales
and service that function to serve the entire community and its visitors. The property is suitable
RM071218 Minutes Page 4
for high density commercial development. The proposed zoning district is consistent with Growth
Areas V and VI, the Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, and the Future Land Use a nd
Character designations of Urban and Natural Areas-Reserved within the City’s Comprehensive
Plan. The applicant is proposing to rezone one 2.5 acre lot which meets the required 24 foot
minimum lot width and 100 foot lot depth for General Commercial zoning. The lot currently takes
access off of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, a major arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan, and is
suitable for the purposes of General Commercial zoning. The property is adjacent to the Jones
Crossing Development, and if rezoned, the subject property will have cross access at the time of
platting or site plan for interconnected driveway access between developments. Floodplain exists
on the 0.232 acres of the property that have been proposed as NAP Natural Areas Protected.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their June 21, 2018 meeting and
