Project Overview In August 2018, a portion of the subject property was
rezoned to GC General Commercial, and the remainder is
zoned R Rural. This preliminary plan is in preparation for
the future subdivision of the property into 4 lots and
includes the extension and right-of-way dedication of
General Parkway (minor collector) through the property.
Parkland Dedication $1,261 for both lots zoned R Rural which totals to $2,522.
Traffic Impact Analysis A TIA was provided with the Rezoning and will be
reevaluated at time of site development.
Compliant with Comprehensive Plan
(including Master Plans) and Unified
Development Ordinance
Yes
Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes with the exception of the 6 waivers being requested
for UDO Sections 8.3.E.3. ‘Street Projections’, 8.3.G.2.
‘Block Length’, and 8.3.G.4. ‘Block Perimeter’
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan and
waiver requests. If the waivers are approved by the
Commission, the Preliminary Plan must be approved. If the
waivers are denied, the Preliminary Plan must also be
denied.
Preliminary Plan
for
Butler Subdivision
PP2018-000014
SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) except for six waiver requests.
Waiver Request 1:
UDO Section 8.3.G.2. ‘Blocks’– Per the requirements of this section, block length shall
not exceed 660 feet in Urban designations. Proposing a block length of 812 feet, the
applicant is requesting a waiver of 152 feet for the block along General Parkway, between
Holleman Drive South and Charolais Drive.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission must make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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 subject tract has frontage to General Parkway east of Holleman Drive South for
approximately 812 linear feet. If providing a block break that aligns with Larimer Way (an
existing public way across General Parkway) that extends to Charloais Drive, the proposed
street would either cross Bee Creek Tributary B.3.1.1 or conflict with the development’s
proposed stormwater detention pond. The UDO allows for floodplain within a platting property
to qualify as a break in block. However, due to the configuration of the drainage way, it does
not break the subject block. The tributary and associated floodplain also limit an extension of
Larimer way from General Parkway to Holleman Drive South. Driveway spacing cannot be
met for another street to access Holleman Drive South between Charolais Drive and General
Parkway.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
The waiver to block length is necessary due to the configuration of the development and the
location of both floodplain and on-site detention. In order to apply the block length
requirement, the projection would extend into a portion of Charolais Drive that would
otherwise not require a break in block, as the UDO considers floodplain sufficient for a break
in block. Therefore, the waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the
property rights of the applicant.
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
By not disrupting existing floodplain by projecting a street, the granting of this waiver to
block length will not have negative impacts on public health, safety, welfare, or surrounding
properties.
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 requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivision in the area.
Properties in this vicinity are either already platted as part of the Aspen Heights
development or are being included in the proposed development.
SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) except for six waiver requests.
Waiver Request 2:
UDO Section 8.3.G.2. ‘Blocks’– Per the requirements of this section, block length shall
not exceed 660 feet in Urban designations. Proposing a block length of 1,220 feet, the
applicant is requesting a waiver request of approximately 560 feet for the block along
General Parkway, between Larimer Way and the adjacent tract to the south.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission must make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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 subject tract has frontage to General Parkway east of Larimer Way for approximately
1,220 linear feet. Approximately 692 feet of the subject block exists within the proposed
Preliminary Plan, and the remaining 528 feet are within the platted Aspen Heights
subdivision. The UDO allows for railroad within a platting property to qualify as a break in
block. If a waiver is not granted, the applicant would be required to project a public through
street to the existing Union Pacific railroad. However, an additional railroad right-of-way
crossing will not be permitted for this location; therefore, projection of a through public street
to the east is not possible. The other option, should the waiver request be denied, would be
to project a through street to the unplatted tract to the south, which is possible but would
disrupt the developable area for a potential large-scale General Commercial development
such as a retail anchor or the proposed commercial amusement facility. A break in block
cannot be accomplished by a cul-de-sac or looped street.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
The waiver to block length is necessary due to the constraint of the existing railroad and the
larger-scale needs of some General Commercial uses. If the waiver is not granted, the
subject tract can still be platted; but while it is a large tract, it would not be able to
accommodate larger, regional enterprises that General Commercial allows if an additional
street is required. As such, the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
the property rights of the applicant.
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
The granting of this waiver to block length will not have negative impacts on public health,
safety, welfare, of surrounding properties. The proposed development is projecting a
thoroughfare to the abutting parcel, which provides connectivity, but it would be at a less
frequent interval than the required block length of 660 feet.
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 requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivision in the area.
Properties to the south will have connectivity into this development with the proposed minor
collector shown on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, which is proposed to be extended to the
adjacent parcel with Phase 3 of this Preliminary Plan.
SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) except for six waiver requests.
Waiver Request 3:
UDO Section 8.3.G.4. ‘Blocks’– Per the requirements of this section, block perimeter
shall not exceed 2,000 feet in Urban designations. With a proposed block perimeter of
2,781, the applicant is requesting a waiver of approximately 781 feet.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission must make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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;
Where opportunities exist to break the block along the perimeter, such breaks will create
small block lengths (approximately 300-500 feet) that do not maximize the development
potential of the property. The proposed block is located between an existing 4-lane major
arterial and a future major collector, and has not yet been rezoned for development. The
property is shown as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character
Map and is in a designated Growth Area, which is intended to be market responsive. The
waiver provides the applicant an opportunity to further define access for this Phase of the
development with a revised Preliminary Plan once use has been determined.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
The waiver to block perimeter is necessary due to the constraints posed by the tributary
bisecting the property and the configuration of the development. If the waiver is not granted,
the subject tract can still be platted but would potentially need to be reoriented to account for
a break in block perimeter. Should a public street be provided in order to break block
perimeter, such projection could limit the development potential for future larger-scale Urban
development. Phase 3 has not yet been rezoned for development; however, a revised
Preliminary Plan would be required with a further subdivision of Phase 3, and the Block
Perimeter waiver would then be reevaluated.
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
The granting of this waiver to block perimeter will not have negative impacts on public
health, safety, welfare, or surrounding properties. The proposed development is projecting
a thoroughfare to the abutting parcel, which provides connectivity.
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 requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivision in the area.
Properties to the south will have connectivity into this development with the proposed minor
collector shown on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, which is proposed to be extended to the
adjacent parcel with this phase of the Preliminary Plan.
SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) except for six waiver requests.
Waiver Request 4:
UDO Section 8.3.G.4. ‘Blocks’– Per the requirements of this section, block perimeter
shall not exceed 2,000 feet in Urban designations. With a proposed block perimeter of
3,505 feet, the applicant is requesting a waiver of approximately 1,505 feet.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission must make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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;
Opportunities to break the block along the perimeter are limited with this tract. The property
to the north of this block is developed as a large-scale apartment community with no
connectivity into the tract. To the east is the railroad that will not allow a break in block. To
the southeast the natural flow of drainage limits connectivity points. The block is zoned GC
General Commercial, which allows for large-scale commercial uses and is in a designated
Growth Area in the Comprehensive Plan, which is intended to be market responsive.
Future subdivision into smaller tracts could provide additional connectivity. The strict
application of the provision 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;
The waiver to block perimeter is necessary due to the configuration of the development and
constraints on access points along the periphery. If the waiver is not granted, the subject
tract can still be platted but while it is a large tract, it would not be able to accommodate
larger, regional enterprises General Commercial allows. As such, the waivers are necessary
for the preservation and enjoyment of the property rights of the applicant.
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
The granting of this waiver to block perimeter will not have negative impacts on public
health, safety, welfare, or surrounding properties. The proposed development is projecting
a thoroughfare to the abutting, undeveloped parcel.
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 requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivision in the area.
Properties to the south will have connectivity into this development with the proposed minor
collector shown on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, which is proposed to be extended to the
adjacent parcel with Phase 3 of this Preliminary Plan.
SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) except for six waiver requests.
Waiver Request 5:
UDO Section 12-8.3.E.3. ‘Street Projections’ – Per the requirements of this section, a
subdivision must provide public street projections:
1) In each cardinal direction around the proposed subdivision;
2) At intervals no fewer than the maximum block length along the perimeter boundary of
the subdivision; and
3) To provide street connection or street frontage to land locked tracts that do not
otherwise have frontage to a public street.
The applicant has proposed the extension of General Parkway to the unplatted property to
the south. The perimeter block length between Holleman Drive South and General Parkway
is 940 feet. An additional street projection is required to meet the 660-ft. maximum Urban
block length.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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;
A tributary of Bee Creek bisects the subject block. The configuration of the tributary and
associated drainage way naturally splits the block, limiting the ability to provide connectivity in
the block. With drainage to the southeast, the eastern corner of the block is reserved for the
creek and detention and effectively reduces the available boundary distance between
Holleman Drive South and General Parkway for a street projection to approximately 940 feet.
Block length along Holleman Drive South is approximately 532 feet, 394 feet along Charolais
Drive west of the tributary and 380 feet east of the tributary, which are less than the 660
required. A projection to the southern boundary will further reduce those west and north
blocks lengths to provide a projection that will create additionally small block lengths to the
south. In addition, the eastern portion of the development has been rezoned for commercial
use, but the western portion remains R Rural. The waiver provides the applicant an
opportunity to further define access for this Phase of the development with a revised
Preliminary Plan once use has been determined.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
The waiver to the street projection is necessary due to connectivity constraints the existing
tributary and drainage pose in this area. If the waiver is not granted, the subject tract can still
be platted but a projection could limit the development potential for future Urban
development. The waiver provides the applicant an opportunity to further define access for
this Phase of the development with a revised Preliminary Plan once use has been
determined.
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
The granting of this waiver to street projections will not have negative impacts on public
health, safety, welfare, or surrounding properties. The proposed development is projecting
a thoroughfare to the abutting parcel, which provides connectivity, but it would be at a less
frequent interval than the required block length of 660 feet.
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 requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivision in the area.
Properties to the south will have connectivity into this development with the proposed minor
collector shown on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, which is proposed to be extended to the
adjacent parcel with Phase 3 of this Preliminary Plan.
SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) except for six waiver requests.
Waiver Request 6:
UDO Section 8.3.E.3. ‘Street Projections’ – Per the requirements of this section, a
subdivision must provide public street projections:
1) In each cardinal direction around the proposed subdivision;
2) At intervals no fewer than the maximum block length along the perimeter boundary of
the subdivision; and
3) To provide street connection or street frontage to land locked tracts that do not
otherwise have frontage to a public street.
The applicant has proposed the extension of General Parkway to the unplatted property to
the south. The perimeter block length between General Parkway and the eastern edge of the
property is 763 feet. An additional street projection is required to meet the 660-ft. maximum
Urban block length.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
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;
Drainage on the property is generally to the southeast, which limits the area that street could
project along this boundary. A street projection could be accommodated, but it would be
limited to a point on the boundary closer to the railroad, to which no future streets could then
project east. In addition, the subject property is zoned GC General Commercial, which
allows for large-scale commercial uses, and is in a designated Growth Area in the
Comprehensive Plan, which is intended to be market responsive. The waiver provides the
applicant an opportunity to restrict the number of access points to the proposed development
as the scale requires larger tracts of land, and additional connectivity could be provided with
future subdivision into smaller tracts. The strict application of the provision 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;
The waiver to the street projection is necessary due to the natural drainage of the tract and
connectivity constraints the existing railroad poses to development in this area, and the
larger-scale needs of some General Commercial uses. If the waiver is not granted, the
subject tract can still be platted but while it is a large tract, it would not be able to
accommodate larger, regional enterprises General Commercial uses. As such, the waivers
are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the property rights of the applicant.
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
The granting of this waiver to street projections will not have negative impacts on public
health, safety, welfare, or surrounding properties. The proposed development is projecting
a thoroughfare to the abutting parcel, which provides connectivity, but it would be at a less
frequent interval than the required block length of 660 feet.
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 requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivision in the area.
Properties to the south will have connectivity into this development with the proposed minor
collector shown on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, which is proposed to be extended to the
adjacent parcel with Phase 3 of this Preliminary Plan.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Wolters Tract
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Justin Constantino, Senior Planner
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
ordinance amending Appendix A , “Unified Development Ordinance, “Article 4, Zoning Districts,”
Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station,
Texas by changing the zoning district boundary from R Rural to RS Restricted Suburban and
NAP Natural Areas Protected for approximately 46.18 acres located near North Forest Pkwy,
generally located north of Appomattox Dr. and the Emerald Forest Subdivision. Case #
REZ2018-000013 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the November 19th City
Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.
Summary: The applicant has requested a rezoning from R Rural to 33.5 acres of RS Restricted
Suburban and 12 acres of NAP Natural Areas Protected. The RS zoning district is designed to
provide land for detached medium-density, single-family residential development. These areas
consist of residential lots with an average lot area of ten thousand (10,000) square feet or an
average of eight thousand (8,000) square feet when clustered around open space. The NAP
area is a designated buffer area along Carters Creek, which runs along the property boundary.
It creates a separation between the residential zoned area and the creek bed.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject
area is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as
Restricted Suburban and Natural Areas Protected.
The Restricted Suburban land use designation is generally for areas that should have a
moderate level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of medium-
density single-family residential lots (average 8,000 square feet) when clustered around
open space, or larger lot sizes when not clustered. The proposed zoning of RS
Restricted Suburban permits medium-density single-family residential lots, allowing the
property to be developed consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The property along the creek is designated as Natural Areas Reserved—a designation
for areas that represent a constraint to development and should be preserved for their
natural function. The applicant is proposing NAP Natural Areas Protected zoning for the
area generally encompassing the 100-year floodplain, with some additional area for
slope stability to prohibit development too close to the creek bed, which is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in
the context of the surrounding area: The properties to the south of the subject property
are developed as single-family homes zoned General Suburban. This proposed zoning
change would be similar to the properties existing to the south. The adjacent property of
undeveloped and agricultural uses is similarly compatible with the potential Restricted
Suburban subdivision or for portions of it to remain as an agricultural use for grazing
livestock. The Carter Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is located to the west of the
property. The NAP area is a designated buffer area along the creek that runs along the
property boundary. The NAP area creates a separation between the residential zoned
area and the creek bed, which can be considered hazardous in some places due to the
steep slopes along the bank of the creek.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning
district: Under RS Restricted Suburban, the property would be allowed to develop as
single-family homes with lots that average 10,000 square feet or if clustered 8,000 square
feet. The subject property would connect to the existing Spring Creek Street and would
function similar to a continuation of the adjacent neighborhood. If the property is
developed where there are more than 30 lots, a minimum of two street connections to
external paved public streets will be required. If there are between 30 and 99 lots, the
Commission may allow a Remote Emergency Access at the platting stage where
development phasing or constraints of the land prevent the provision of a second street
connection. The creek, along its northern boundary and the floodplain on the adjacent
property to the east create natural buffers around the proposed site.
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 by the City of College Station. There is an existing 8-inch
waterline on the western side that the development may utilize to extend and serve the
properties. Sanitary Sewer service is available via an existing 27-inch sewer trunk line that
is crossing the subject tract. The majority of the northern subject tract is in the Carter
Creek Drainage Basin. The other southern half of the tract is in the Bee Creek Drainage
Basin. The subject tract does not require detention. Drainage and other public
infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. All other infrastructure appear to
have adequate capacity to serve the proposed rezoning.
5. The marketability of the property: The property could be marketed as an R Rural
subdivision with three acre lot averages or it could remain agricultural as the property has
some agricultural potential. Overall, the proposed RS Restricted Suburban and NAP
Natural Area Protected rezonings are anticipated to increase the marketability of the
property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.

MEMORANDUM
November 1, 2018
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Laura Gray, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: UDO Amendment – Accessory Living Quarters
Item:
Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance
amendment to Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 6.5,”Accessory Uses”,
Section 7.3.H, “Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required”, and Section 11.2, “Defined
Terms”. Case# ORDA2018-000009. (Final action on this item is scheduled for the November
19, 2018 City Council Meeting- subject to change)
Background:
As part of the 2017 Plan of Work, two community engagement meetings were held on April 30th
to gather input on various neighborhood protection proposals, including potential amendments
to the City’s Accessory Living Quarter requirements. Attendees were able to provide feedback
via paper surveys at both community engagement meetings and an online survey was also
open for a period of two weeks following the meetings. Following the positive recommendation
of the Planning & Zoning Commission, City Council directed staff to draft a Unified Development
Ordinance revision allowing for the rental of accessory living quarters if the principal structure
should be owner-occupied, limit the number of unrelated persons in these units to no more than
two, and require one additional parking space at its June 28th Council workshop.

* Overflow parking above required parking spaces may be grassed rather than paved. All
unpaved spaces shall be shown on site plan and organized for efficient traffic circulation using
wheel stops and other appropriate measures as required by the Administrator.
** The minimum number of parking spaces for a shopping center shall be calculated at a rate of
1:250 in GC SC, or WC, and 1:350 in CI regardless of the composing uses unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator that such composing uses require a modification to the
applicable requirements.
*** For areas designated Neighborhood Conservation on the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land
Use and Character Map there shall be no maximum number of parking spaces.
**** Mixed-Use structures in the MU Mixed-Use and MF Multi-Family districts.
***** When determining the required off-street parking requirements for the uses noted above,
the Administrator shall consider the anticipated traffic demand, traffic circulation, and
surrounding conditions. The Administrator may also consider information provided by the
applicant that demonstrates the proposed number of off-street parking spaces is adequate for the
proposed use and has been successfully employed in other locations.
