Principal Planner Schubert presented the rezoning and recommended approval with the
condition that the revisions agreed with the applicant be incorporated into the application
and concept plan. The staff report recommended approval with six conditions that were
resolved with the applicant prior to the meeting.

1) The head -in parking areas along the Public Way will be removed and may be replaced
with parallel parking. The sidewalk adjacent to the parallel parking may be reduced
to 8 -foot if the parallel parking is provided.
2) One Public Way projection will be provided and constructed with Phase 2 connecting
the former Meadowland Street to the property line on the southern end of the
northern -most parking garage. The Public Way will be constructed in accordance
with all requirements (pavement width, construction standards, easement, vertical
clearance, etc) associated with Public Ways, except that the required sidewalks may
be replaced with an 8 -foot unobstructed access way through the nearby amenity area,
which will also be constructed with Phase 2. Further, the easement associated with
the Public Way will address the owner's concerns with aerial rights. No other Public
Ways are required to break block length.
3) Construct dual right -turn lanes on Texas Avenue to westbound University Drive, with
the assumption TxDOT will not prohibit this construction.
4) Bus shelters will be provided as detailed in the Concept Plan and will be placed in an
acceptable location to the bus service providers.
5) The minimum utility line separation from a building will be adhered to, except that
deviations may be permitted based on specific design specifications submitted to staff.

back of curb versus the required 8 -foot, with the understanding that required
landscaping will be accommodated outside the sidewalk and /or in traversable tree
