Jennifer Prochazka, Staff Planner, gave a presentation on the.. Rezoning far Gallaway
Subdivision Phase II. Prochazka stated that she wanted tc~ give clarification on one. item. that
was with the application and in the staff report:. She. stated that at this time the ~igbt-of-wag
for Luther Street had been abandoned' and is no longer cswned bg the City.. of College
Station.: Their request is for R 6, High Density.: Multi-Family, for development of an
apartment complex. This item was denied by tlxe City Council a couple of months ago and
then allowed to come back for a new hearing waiving the 180-dap waiting period because of
new information submitted bg the applicant. '`lyhe new information submitted was a letter
fbr a proposed development participation agreement for .the construction of a :portion of
~ Marion Pugh Drive. The ap~ficant also submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis {TIA). The
TIA assumes the .extension of Marion Pugh Drive is constructed as the developer has
indicated in the letter. The .primary .......finding of the TTA is that the traffic from .the
F&Z Minutes Regular Agenda 06-Z.'?-05 Rage 3 of 6
develapinent will be accommodated with .the tr~~nsportatora system, assuming that Marion
``~, Pugh is constructed through. It is also expected that the traffic peak.. for this development
will be different than others in .the area..: T'raclza~ka stated that staff has reviewed the TTA
and is in general agreement with assumptions and conclusions within the report, The Land
'Use Plan in this area: designates the property as Residential Attached, which indicates that
this Rezoning would be in compliance with the T,and LTse Plan. It is also in compliance with
general development policies of the City which seek to locate Multi-Family Deveioprnent
closer to the University. Prochazka stated that there is a slight. change in the .wording in
Staff's recamrnendatit~n from what was listed in the staff report. Staff's recommendation is
:for approval of the Rezoning with the condition that the developer completes the extension
of Marion Pugh Drive from Luther 5treet,to Holleman Street and that it be accepted prior to
the Certificate of 4Jccupancy being issued for me development. Prochazka stated that there
was an e-mail received this morning that. has been placed at each Commissioner's place, and
there was one other letter submitted in opposition to this request that was included in their
packets.
Commissioner Davis." asked. for clarification.. on the thoroughfare plan. regarding the
extension of Marion Pugh Drive, Holleman Drive and Jones Butler Drive. Davis stated that
when Marion Pugh Drive extends to Holleman Drive it would provide another outlet for
traffic. Davis asked if hones Butler Drive would' be extended. Alan Gibbs stated that there
are discussions with Texas A&M regarding the extension of Jones Sutler Drive. Gibbs also
gaue clarification regarding. the proposed road ccrostruction to take place in this area.. Gibbs
:explained. that it is proposed that .there. will be grade separation and .elevated .sidewalks. for
pedestrians and bikes. Gibbs also event aver part of the sections in the TIA in order to give
Commissioners clarification regarding the traffic rankings.
i
Chuck Ellison, 2902 Camille Drive, College Station, Texas, representative of the. applicant.
Ellison stated, that the applicant completed the TIA which stated that the level of service at
.Marion Pugh and Holleman. Drive and the level.... of service at Marion Pugh and- Bush Drive
will remain at level ~f service D, even after the development. The applicant has also taken
great steps tt~ try tc~ enhance the multi-mode of tt~ansportation. There will be pedestrian
ways that reach from. the ,new development through the existing Callaway I-3ouse sb that
residents can crass there and pickup .the bus there and in addition.. there will be wider bike
paths and. more bike parking. >n addition, there will be a .meal. plan available to the new
residents if they accept that, residents will nc~t 'have to `get in their .cars and drive to the
testaurants. Ellison stated that the applicant has offered a; develaprrient agreement, which
has been submitted to the City and is.under review. As csf dune 17, ZUQS, the applicant
understands that the. recflmmendation of staff is ; that a condition be imposed. The
condition, that the applicant had asked to be imposed, is that no Certificate of Occupancy be
.issued on the project until Marion Pugh.. is extended from Luther Street to Holleman Street
as a major collector. The reason far this. is because at this time Marion Pugh is riot designed
yet, the .applicant .has been designing ,..the site and. the development plans.. need to be
apprt~ved in order to continue. Ellison .stated that the fear of the. applicant was that in the
recommendation it is stated that Marion Pugh develop at the same time that: the project
develop and that .staff would interpret. -that .~s not being able to give the applicant. a
development permit on the apartment site until plans have been seen and approved for
Marion Pugh Drive. Logistically, the engineers will complete. the site plan and get
development permits: on the apartment project, immediately finalize the plans .for Marion
Pugh, and then the contractor will move from the apartment site directly to creating the
Marion .Pugh: roadway. It is Ltnderstood by .....the applicant that unless Marion Pugh is

ccrrnpleted as a major collector that a Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued. The
applicant is requesting that the Commissioner's approve the rezoning on, the condition that
the developer complete Marion- Pugh from Luther Street to Holleman Street before a
Certificate of Occupancy is issued for the apartment complex.

Marion Pagh' be completed from: Lathier Street to Holleman Street and be
functioning as a street before a Ceraficate of Qccapancy will be issued.

feelings an the project.

Subdivision. P>±ochazka stated that the project is currently developed as an ov~r€low parking;
lot fot the Catlawag I-souse dormitory 1Qeated oza the West side cif Marion Pugh Thrive and
that the rezoning would bring the current use of the property as an apartment parking lot
