Case # REZ2018-000018 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the December 13, 2018 City Council Meeting). Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. Summary: The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R Rural and GC General Commercial to GC General Commercial. The purpose behind this rezoning request is to make approximately 2,600 square feet of the 2.47 acres, currently zoned R Rural, consistent with the overall GC General Commercial on the lot. Staff believes this portion of the lot was left R Rural (A-O Agricultural-Open at the time) during the 2001 rezoning of the property due to either surveyor error or a mistaken floodplain / tributary location. Staff considers this item to be “clean up” in nature. 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 SC Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas-Reserved. Suburban Commercial land use designation is generally for areas that should have a moderate level of commercial development activities that are complimentary and conducive to surrounding residential uses. Natural Areas-Reserved is intended for the preservation of natural areas such as floodplain. The request for GC General Commercial would allow for the most intense commercial activities permitted within the City of College Station. Therefore, the request is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map as GC General Commercial zoning exceeds the development opportunity for both a SC Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas-Reserved Land Use designation. However, the subject property is located within the existing Tower Point Subdivision. This commercial center began the development process in 1997 as the Crowley Tract and encompassed over 100 acres of undeveloped property. In 2001, the area underwent a large-scale rezoning to C-1 General Commercial, while leaving the floodplain and drainage / detention areas as A-O Agricultural-Open. These zoning names were changed to GC General Commercial and R Rural following the adoption of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map therefore shows a less intense land use designation, being SC Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas-Reserved, than allowed under the pre- existing zoning of GC General Commercial. This request does not affect the majority of the subject property, but only approximately 2,600 square feet at the rear portion (western side) of the lot which abuts a common Tower Point drainage easement. The purpose of including the platted lot as a whole in this request is to alleviate the concern of future metes and bounds discrepancies in regards to zoning boundaries in the general area. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The subject property is located within the Tower Point subdivision which is zoned GC General Commercial in all developing areas. Portions of Tower Point not intended for development such floodplain, drainage, and detention areas were left R Rural. The R Rural piece of the subject property is believed to be once part of a drainage easement, floodplain, or possible tributary location that is no longer in place. Therefore, this portion of the property no longer necessitates the R Rural designation. The development for commercial uses began in this area prior to the nearby single-family attached and detached uses within the Spring Creek and Spring Creek Gardens Subdivisions to the west, though construction of those residential uses was completed prior to this Phase of Tower Point. In addition, the commercial property is separated from the nearby single-family residential development by an approximately 80-foot wide R Rural zoned area used for drainage purposes. This area was platted as a non-buildable lot and will serve as a buffering distance between commercial and residential uses. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The subject tract is primarily zoned GC General Commercial and has been platted and prepared for commercial development on site. Having confirmed the absence of floodplain on the rear portion of the lot, the remaining non-commercial portion has been deemed as also physically suitable for GG General Commercial zoning and development. The site will utilize the existing Tower Point detention and drainage system; therefore, on site detention will not likely be required upon site planning. Being located on the State Highway 6 South frontage road and having convenient access from the Barron Road and William D Fitch Parkway freeway exits, makes the commercial component well suited for the physical location. Having access via Private Access Easements to both State Highway 6 South, a Freeway, and Arrington Road, a two-lane major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan, encourages intense commercial activity. 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 served by the City of College Station. There is an existing 12-inch water line on the north-east side that the development may utilize to serve the property. Sanitary Sewer service is available via an existing 8-inch sewer on the north-east side. The subtract tract is in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin, and there is no FEMA regulated floodplain on the site. The subject tract was included in the Tower Point Master Drainage Plan, and detention is provided by the existing detention facility. 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 appears to have adequate capacity to serve the proposed rezoning. 5. The marketability of the property: Currently, the site may develop for commercial uses by right except for the portion zoned R Rural at the rear (western side) of the property. The majority of the subject property is currently zoned for general commercial uses which has impacted its marketability. The proposed zoning request increases the marketability by allowing for the whole property to be utilized for general commercial uses. Tower Point has seen a moderate speed of commercial construction which commenced in approximately 2008 and has been steady since that time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Background Information 2. Vicinity, Aerial, and SAM 3. Application 4. Rezoning Map 5.

Case #CPA2018- 000003 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the January 10, 2019 City Council Meeting- Subject to change.) Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. While there are sewer capacity constraints on the site, staff is supportive given these concerns will need to be addressed at the time of rezoning and/or platting. Summary: The applicant is requesting the proposed future land use amendment by amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Wellborn Estate to Wellborn Commercial on two tracts of land, one of which is not within city limits. This development is intended to serve the nearby residents and provide compatible uses within the context of the surrounding area. The 4.0 acre tract is located outside the city limits in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and is surrounded on all sides by city property as a result of entering into a ten year non-annexation agreement in 2011. This non-annexation agreement states that should “development” occur, the property effectively enters voluntary annexation. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment is not considered “development”, however, a proposed rezoning or plat will effectively constitute a petition for voluntary annexation. The property owner is pursuing the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for increased marketability. If the proposed Wellborn Commercial land use amendment is granted, the applicant is prepared to begin the annexation process. Downstream sewer capacity is limited in this area, and downstream sanitary improvements will be required by the developer if peak sanitary sewer demands increase beyond the originally anticipated Wellborn Estate land use assumptions. The utility demand model uses the most intense predicted uses that may occur at the time of development, and the most intense land uses allowed by the proposed designation exceeds current sewer capacity for these tracts without downstream improvements. Sewer capacity will be a consideration at the time of rezoning if/when a rezoning is requested. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The existing Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is Wellborn Estate, which is defined as a land use designation that “...due to public service limitations or a prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities. These areas tend to consist of low-density single-family residential lots of two acres or more but may be one acre if clustered around undeveloped open space.” While this future land use designation could support low-density residential development, the Wellborn area has experienced a significant increase in single-family developments in recent years. Wellborn Settlement and Creek Meadows are two single family residential developments, totaling 70-acres and 115-acres respectively, both of which have filed plats for various phases of development in the past year. The anticipated influx of new residents would benefit from diversified commercial land uses that are compatible in size and scale according to the Wellborn Community Plan. The Wellborn Community Plan was adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan in 2013 with the goal of establishing a community of rural character positioned for contextually appropriate growth that embodies and sustains the uniqueness and history of the area. The proposed Wellborn Commercial land use encourages the allocation of commercial development at a scale appropriate for the recent residential growth in the area. Wellborn Commercial is described as: “Intended to provide for low-density commercial uses that provide services to nearby neighborhoods. Such uses shall be limited in size and not accommodate drive-thru services. Specific design elements should be incorporated into such developments to limit the visual impact on the community and enhance the defined character.” The Wellborn Community has seen an influx of low density single family residential development, accompanied by contextually appropriate agricultural land uses and small scale commercial development that serve the residents of the rural Wellborn area. The subject area is anticipated to offer a variety of commercial land uses compatible with the larger Wellborn Community; thus prompting the request to amend the Future Land Use map to Wellborn Commercial. 2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: The adjacent existing land uses to the north, east, and west are large lot single-family and unimproved rural tracts varying in size from two to ten acres. Of the surrounding properties, most all are designated for single-family development on the Future Land Use and Character map. Wellborn Baptist Church, located directly south of the subject area, is designated as Institutional on the Comprehensive Plan. Existing uses such as “America’s Country Store” and “Aggieland Grass and Stone” are agricultural entities that existed prior to annexation in 2011, and are anticipated to continue operating as such in the future. The Wellborn Commercial future land use sets the stage for the Wellborn Commercial zoning designation which allows for future development of low-density commercial uses such as art studios, health clubs, personal service shops, restaurants limited to 8,000 square feet, and retail sales limited to 10,000 square feet. A Wellborn Commercial development would serve the nearby residents while providing a variety of commercial uses compatible with the surrounding area. The proposed amendment from Wellborn Estate to Wellborn Commercial on just over 7 acres does not limit the general goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The subject tracts have street frontage along FM2154, which is currently constructed as two-lane rural section roadway and has been designated as a future four-lane Major Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. The amendment is proposing a density and level of service compatible with the planned growth for this area. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: This area is not recognized as environmentally sensitive, nor is there any FEMA regulated floodplain onsite. 4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: The subject tract is served by the Wellborn SUD for water service, and additional infrastructure improvements may be needed with further site development to meet minimum fire flow requirements. Sanitary sewer service will be provided by College Station Utilities for properties located in the corporate boundary. There is a 12-inch sanitary sewer line located at the rear of both the 3.37-acre tract and the 4.00-acre tract. The 3.37-acre tract is within the City’s corporate limits, however, the 4.00-acre tract is within the City’s ETJ. Per City policy, sanitary sewer service can only be provided to properties within the City’s corporate limits. An exception to this policy is allowed, only if approved by City Council, although a proposed rezoning or plat will effectively constitute a petition for voluntary annexation for the 4.0-acre tract not yet incorporated into city limits. The 4.0-acre tract is currently located in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) due to an active 10-year non-annexation agreement that began in 2011. Extension of sanitary sewer lines will be required in order to serve this property at the time of site development after legal annexation. Downstream sewer capacity is limited in this area, and downstream sanitary improvements will be required by the developer if peak sanitary sewer demands increase beyond the originally anticipated Wellborn Estate land use assumptions. Drainage is generally to the west within the Peach Creek Drainage Basin. Currently, there is no FEMA regulated floodplain on site, however, detention will be required with site development. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject tract has frontage to FM 2154 which is designated as a future four-lane Major Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan, and right of way dedication may be required at the time of platting. FM 2154 is currently constructed as two-lane rural section roadway and is under TxDOT jurisdiction. The applicant anticipates driveway access to FM2154 which would require a TxDOT permit. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required for review as part of the request for a Future Land Use and Character Map amendment. 5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The proposal is consistent with the goals and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan. The goal for College Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. The subject property and surrounding area are identified in the Comprehensive Plan as part of the Wellborn Community Plan, which seeks to preserve the rural character and sustain the uniqueness and history of the area. Currently, the Comprehensive Plan has established many contiguous properties adjacent to FM 2154 between Barron Cut-off Road and Greens Prairie Road West as Wellborn Commercial. The Wellborn Commercial land use encourages compatible growth by providing the option for a mix of appropriate commercial uses needed to support the residents in the area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. While there are sewer capacity constraints on the site, staff is supportive given these concerns will need to be addressed at the time of rezoning and/or platting. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1.

The location is on FM 2154, Wellborn Road, south of its intersection with Barron Cut-Off Road. 2. What is the amendment request? Change the land use designation from Wellborn Estate to Wellborn Commercial. Supporting Information 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City. Since the last amendments to the Comprehensive Plan in the Wellborn Area there has been an economic boom led by the dramatic increase in single family homes. The expansion of large developments such as the Castlegate, Saddle Creek, and Creek Meadows, has transformed the Wellborn area from a community of 1-acre estate lots to dense neighborhoods full of young families. These families need easy access to services and opening up a portion of the Wellborn Road area to Wellborn Commercial development would help satisfy the needs of these growing communities. 2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole. Current existing uses near the subject property are Wellborn Baptist Church, Aggieland Grass and Stone, The Home Center (Home Improvement Store), and America’s Country Store. None of these uses would be harmed by a change to Wellborn Commercial zoning for the property, and most would likely benefit from it. The closest home to any point on the property line is over 400’ away leaving a substantial buffer between any new business and any current resident. In the general area to the north of the property along Wellborn Road there are numerous businesses including Prosperity Bank, several Convenience Stores, Chicken Express, Dollar General, Mini Storage Facilities, and the New HEB at Jones Crossing. The property would be compatible with all of these uses. The property would greatly benefit the development pattern of the city as a whole because it relieves major developments such as Jones Crossing, Tower Point, and Caprock Crossing of traffic, and simultaneously adds convenience to local residents who travel Wellborn Road. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas. The existing condition of the property is open pasture land, so there does not appear to be any environmentally sensitive areas. Development will occur in accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance, which addresses potential impacts caused by the development. 4. Impacts on infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation network. The land use change is requested for approximately 7 acres. The impacts on infrastructure will not be significant due to its size. Wellborn SUD provides water service to this area and has an existing 14” pipe on the property and can adequately provide water service including fire protection. Although there is not sanitary sewer service currently to this property, it is nearby as there is an existing lift station to the north of the property, an existing gravity line to the south and the Brewster Pointe development to the east will be extending a gravity line to within 1,500’ of this property. Impacts to the existing drainage system will be mitigated by the construction of stormwater detention facilities with the development of the land in accordance with the UDO. Impacts to the transportation network for the overall city shall be minimal, as this development will allow access to services nearer to their homes and limits the number of vehicle trips into the core of the city. 5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. A change to Wellborn Commercial Land Use and zoning would satisfy two key aspects of the comprehensive plan that have been overlooked in the Wellborn Community. First, it would pro-actively create and maintain economic opportunities for all citizens. Currently, land uses in the comprehensive plan do not favor small businesses and is too restrictive for small business owners. Furthermore, most small business owners cannot afford to be in Wellborn Commercial zoned areas such as Tower Point or Caprock Crossing. Having said that, the second benefit in a land use and zoning change would be to support well planned, quality, and sustainable growth. Opening up a small portion of the Wellborn Road area to Wellborn Commercial uses would greatly benefit small business users and would allow organic growth that currently cannot happen in south College Station. The services that would be offered to members of the Castlegate, Saddle Creek, Creek Meadows and other neighborhoods would also greatly reduce stress on more interior commercial developments and infrastructure including roadways with heavy traffic.

Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009 and acts as a guide to ensure that the goals and objectives of the City are implemented by acting as a long-range planning and policy structure for future growth. It focuses on the creation and enhancement of places of distinction in College Station. The Plan recognizes the importance of character and capitalizes on that character to offer the greatest flexibilities for development while protecting special places. Yearly reviews are performed to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan remains relevant and to identify any changes necessary to accommodate College Station’s future growth. The City’s Neighborhood, District & Corridor Planning program produces plans that are intended to serve as short-term action plans for specific areas, focusing on the particular needs identified by those that live and own property in those areas. The City has adopted five neighborhood plans and one district plan , five of which are currently in implementation. The City has also adopted a number of specific master plans as amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan that are currently in the implementation phase. Unified Development Ordinance The Annual Review of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is required by the UDO as an on-going effort to keep the development codes of the City of College Station current and relevant. Included , as part of the review, is a list of amendments to the UDO during the past 12 months. Summary of Item The Annual Review of the Comprehensive Plan and UDO highlight some of the City’s major initiatives this past year. The Review is organized by project type and assesses significant actions and accomplishments during the past year that further the implementation of the Plan. The report is an interactive format that links to detailed information on the City’s web pages, including the original plans, maps, and a more detailed implementation status.
