4. Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding sanitation.
Chuck Gilman, Deputy City Manager presented an overview of residential services and
comparisons. Mr. Gilman provided information on comparisons of services that the City or hauler
provides and are funded within the base rates, at no additional cost to the customer. An indication
of “Not provided with Base Rates” does not necessarily mean that a city is not funded within solid
water base rates. The service may still be provided for an additional cost or through another city
department. Some cities have various cart sizes and charge variable rates based on cart capacity.
For these cities, we used the rate for carts most similar to College Station’s cart capacity (64
gallons), which is a current rate of $14.40, lower than 85% of benchmark cities.
Recommendations:

REGULAR AGENDA
1. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2018-
3987 amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from
Suburban Commercial to General Commercial for approximately 1.9 acres generally located
northeast of the intersection at Raintree Drive and Earl Rudder Freeway South.
Item was pulled.
2. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2018-
3988 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 boundaries from GS General
Suburban to GC General Commercial on approximately 1.9 acres of land located at 2201
Raintree Drive.
RM022218 Minutes Page 3
Rachel Lazo, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant has requested a rezoning from
GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial on approximately 1.9 acres. This request is in
conjunction with a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Suburban Commercial to
General Commercial as a future land use, which applicant withdrew their request. The applicant
withdrew their request for GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial and requested GS
General Suburban to SC Suburban Commercial. The proposed zoning change would be
incompatible with the adjacent residential properties. Due to its location along Earl Rudder
Freeway South and configuration of the tract, it is less suitable for a single -family development
and more suitable for a light commercial or office development. Staff recommended denial of the
rezoning request.
The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their February 1, 2018 meeting and voted
6-0 to recommend approval with the conditions that the building height be limited to one-story and
that the landscape buffer be increased to 20-feet with a masonry wall.
At approximately 7:17 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
Betty Vermeire, Raintree, stated her concerns with the rezoning request and asked Council to deny
this request.
Mark Buxkempy, College Station, stated that not all property along raintree needs to be rezoned
but due to the request change by applicant, he can support the request.
Suzanne Drolesky, College Station, stated her concerns about the issues of rezoning not only in
Raintree but other areas that backup to neighborhoods.
Laurie Sorell, College Station, stated her concerns of the rezoning and TxDOT easement.
Charles Hamilton, College Station, asked Council if approved to consider a tree barrier or
something nice to shield the neighborhood from the businesses.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:29 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Benham and a second by Councilmember
Rektorik, the City Council voted six (6) for and one (1) opposed, to adopt Ordinance 2018-3988
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 boundaries from GS General Suburban to SC Suburban Commercial
on approximately 1.9 acres of land located at 2201 Raintree Drive, which was revised from GS
General Suburban to GC General Commercial. The motion carried unanimously.
3. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2018-
3989 amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from
Restricted Suburban to General Commercial for approximately 29 acres generally located
at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch Parkway.
Lauren Hovde, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant has requested an amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map from Restricted Suburban to
RM022218 Minutes Page 4
General Commercial. The site is currently partially developed as an active oil well. As this
Comprehensive Plan Amendment could have significant impact on the future development of the
surrounding area, which is largely rural in character, the upcoming 10-year update of the
Comprehensive Plan would be the more appropriate time to further and comprehensively explore
a change in the future land use designation. 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. As this
amendment could become a precedent that affects land use, traffic patterns, and service demands
within the surrounding area, Staff believes the upcoming 10-year update of the Comprehensive
Plan would be the appropriate time to further explore the possibility of updating the
recommendations for this area. Staff recommends denial of the Comprehensive Plan amendment.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: TxDOT is converting existing unsignalized at-grade intersections of FM 60 with the FM
2818 ramps into a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) with curbed islands and traffic signals. This
work includes constructing wider medians and turn lanes on FM 2818 as well as reconstructing the
entrance and exit ramps. The project is approximately halfway through the estimated 2 year
construction schedule.
TxDOT has requested a speed limit reduction due to construction activities that will need travel lane
widths along FM 2818 to be temporarily reduced and for traffic shifts for placement of left-turn lanes.
In addition, temporary ramp and lane closures without barriers will be required. This speed reduction
will help improve the safety of motorists and construction crews. The reduced speed limit will be
utilized for the duration of the project and will expire upon its completion.

this temporary speed reduction.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the passage and approval of an ordinance of the City
of College Station, Texas, approving a new Rate Review Mechanism (RRM) tariff to govern future annual rate
filings by Atmos Mid-Tex.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Summary: The City, along with 171 other Mid-Texas Cities Served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex
Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Steering Committee of Cities Served by Atmos
(“Cities”). In 2007, the Cities and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code for an interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP
filing (arising out of the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a substitute
rate review process, referred to as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for future filings under
the GRIP statute.
Since 2007, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The Ordinance that resolved the
Company’s application under the RRM Tariff in 2017 also terminated the existing RRM Tariff and required a
renegotiation of the terms of that tariff. Negotiations have taken place over the past several months, and have
resulted in a revised RRM Tariff that has been agreed to by the Company. The Cities’ Executive Committee
has recommended acceptance of the revised RRM Tariff, which is attached to the Ordinance.
The RRM Tariff on which the 2017 rates were based allowed a rate of return on equity of 10.50%. The revised
RRM Tariff reduces that to 9.8%. The revised RRM Tariff also captures the reduction in federal income tax
rates from 35% to 21%, and should result in a rate reduction effective by mid-March, 2018. Prior RRM tariffs
allowed Cities only three months to review the Company’s filing. The new revised Tariff expands that time
period by two months. New applications by the Company should be made on or about April 1 of each year,

with new rates effective October 1. A rate order from the Railroad Commission in an Atmos Texas Pipeline
rate case adopted the position of Cities with regard to incentive compensation related to Atmos’ Shared
Services Unit that reduced allowed expenses, and that reduced level of expenses will be applicable under the
new RRM Tariff.

104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code (a “GRIP” rate case), the Steering Committee and the
Company collaboratively developed a Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”) Tariff, ultimately
authorized by the City in 2008, that allows for an expedited rate review process as a substitute
for the GRIP process; and
2
WHEREAS, the City has kept some form of a RRM Tariff in place until 2017 when it
adopted an ordinance approving an RRM Tariff filing settlement and specifically calling for
termination of the existing RRM Tariff and negotiation of a replacement RRM Tariff following
the Railroad Commission’s decision in a then-pending Atmos Texas Pipeline case (GUD No.
10580); and
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee’s Executive Committee has recently approved a
settlement with the Company on the attached RRM Tariff that contains certain notable
improvements, from a consumer perspective, over the prior RRM Tariff, including a reduced rate
of return on equity, acceptance of certain expense adjustments made by the Railroad
Commission in the Order in GUD No. 10580, and the addition of two months to the time for
processing a RRM Tariff application; and
WHEREAS, the RRM Tariff contemplates reimbursement of Cities’ reasonable expenses
associated with RRM Tariff applications; and
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee’s Executive Committee recommends that all

THIS RATE SCHEDULE
EFFECTIVE DATE:Bills Rendered on and after 04/01/2018 PAGE: 1
I. Applicability
Applicable to Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Transportation tariff customers
within the city limits of cities identified in Exhibit A that receive service from the Mid-Tex
Division of Atmos Energy Corporation (“Company”). This Rate Review Mechanism
(“RRM”) provides for an annual adjustment to the Company’s Rate Schedules R, C, I
and T (“Applicable Rate Schedules”). Rate calculations and adjustments required by
this tariff shall be determined on a System-Wide cost basis.
II. Definitions
“Test Period” is defined as the twelve months ending December 31 of each preceding
calendar year.
The “Effective Date” is the date that adjustments required by this tariff are applied to
customer bills. The annual Effective Date is October 1.
Unless otherwise provided in this tariff the term Final Order refers to the final order
issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas in GUD No. 10170 and elements of GUD
No. 10580 as specified in Section III below.
The term “System-Wide” means all incorporated and unincorporated areas served by
the Company.
“Review Period” is defined as the period from the Filing Date until the Effective Date.
The “Filing Date” is as early as practicable, but no later than April 1 of each year.
III. Calculation
The RRM shall calculate an annual, System-Wide cost of service (“COS”) that will be
used to adjust applicable rate schedules prospectively as of the Effective Date. The
Company may request recovery of its total cost of service but will include schedules
showing the computation of any adjustments. The annual cost of service will be
calculated according to the following formula:
COS = OM + DEP + RI + TAX + CD
Where:
OM = all reasonable and necessary operation and maintenance expenses from the
Test Period adjusted for known and measurable items and prepared

consistent with the rate making treatments approved in the Final Order.
Incentive compensation (Management Incentive Plan, Variable Pay Plan and
Long Term Incentive Plan) related to Atmos’ Shared Services Unit will be
applied consistent with treatment approved in GUD 10580. Additionally, O&M
adjustments will be incorporated and applied as modified by a final order, not
subject to appeal, issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas in subsequent
rate cases involving the Atmos Mid-Tex or West Texas divisions. Known and
measurable adjustments shall be limited to those changes that have occurred
prior to the Filing Date. OM may be adjusted for atypical and non-recurring
items. Shared Services allocation factors shall be recalculated each year
based on the latest component factors used during the Test Period, but the
methodology used will be that approved in the Final Order in GUD 10580.
DEP = depreciation expense calculated at depreciation rates approved by the Final
Order. Additionally, if depreciation rates are approved in a subsequent final
order, not subject to appeal, issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas for
the Mid-Tex division those rates would be applicable for subsequent RRM
filings.
RI = return on prudently incurred investment calculated as the Company's pretax
return multiplied by rate base at Test Period end. Rate base is prepared
consistent with the rate making treatments approved in the Final Order, and
as in GUD 10580 as specifically related to capitalized incentive compensation
(Management Incentive Plan, Variable Pay Plan and Long Term Incentive
Plan) for Atmos’ Shared Services Unit. However, no post Test Period
adjustments will be permitted. Additionally, adjustments will be incorporated
and applied as modified by a final order, not subject to appeal, issued by the
Railroad Commission of Texas in subsequent rate cases involving the Atmos
Mid-Tex or West Texas divisions. Pretax return is the Company's weighted
average cost of capital before income taxes. The Company's weighted
average cost of capital is calculated using the methodology from the Final
Order including the Company's actual capital structure and long term cost of
debt as of the Test Period end (adjusted for any known and measurable
changes that have occurred prior to the filing date) and the return on equity of
9.8%. However, in no event will the percentage of equity exceed 58%.
Regulatory adjustments due to prior regulatory rate base adjustment
disallowances will be maintained. Cash working capital will be calculated
using the lead/lag days approved in the Final Order. With respect to pension
and other postemployment benefits, the Company will record a regulatory
asset or liability for these costs until the amounts are included in the next
annual rate adjustment implemented under this tariff. Each year, the
Company’s filing under this Rider RRM will clearly state the level of pension

and other postemployment benefits recovered in rates.
TAX = income tax and taxes other than income tax from the Test Period adjusted for
known and measurable changes occurring after the Test Period and before
the Filing Date, and prepared consistent with the rate making treatments
approved in the Final Order. Atmos Energy shall comprehensively account
for, including establishing a regulatory liability to account for, any statutory
change in tax expense that is applicable to months during the Test Period in
the calculation to ensure recovery of tax expense under new and old income
tax rates.
CD = interest on customer deposits.
IV. Annual Rate Adjustment
The Company shall provide schedules and work papers supporting the Filing’s revenue
deficiency/sufficiency calculations using the methodology accepted in the Final Order.
The result shall be reflected in the proposed new rates to be established for the
effective period. The Revenue Requirement will be apportioned to customer classes in
the same manner that Company’s Revenue Requirement was apportioned in the Final
Order. For the Residential Class, 50% of the increase may be recovered in the
customer charge. However, the increase to the Residential customer charge shall not
exceed $0.60 per month in the initial filing and $0.70 per month in any subsequent year.
The remainder of the Residential Class increase not collected in the customer charge
will be recovered in the usage charge. For all other classes, the change in rates will be
apportioned between the customer charge and the usage charge, consistent with the
Final Order. Test Period billing determinants shall be adjusted and normalized
according to the methodology utilized in the Final Order.
V. Filing
The Company shall file schedules annually with the regulatory authority having original
jurisdiction over the Company's rates on or before the Filing Date that support the
proposed rate adjustments. The schedules shall be in the same general format as the
cost of service model and relied-upon files upon which the Final Order was based. A
proof of rates and a copy of current and proposed tariffs shall also be included with the
filing. The filing shall be made in electronic form where practical. The Company’s filing
shall conform to Minimum Filing Requirements (to be agreed upon by the parties),
which will contain a minimum amount of information that will assist the regulatory
authority in its review and analysis of the filing. The Company and regulatory authority
will endeavor to hold a technical conference regarding the filing within twenty (20)
calendar days after the Filing Date.

A sworn statement shall be filed by an Officer of the Company affirming that the filed
schedules are in compliance with the provisions of this Rate Review Mechanism and
are true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge, information, and belief. No
testimony shall be filed, but a brief narrative explanation shall be provided of any
changes to corporate structure, accounting methodologies, allocation of common costs,
or atypical or non- recurring items included in the filing.
VI. Evaluation Procedures
The regulatory authority having original jurisdiction over the Company's rates shall
review and render a decision on the Company's proposed rate adjustment prior to the
Effective Date. The Company shall provide all supplemental information requested to
ensure an opportunity for adequate review by the relevant regulatory authority. The
Company shall not unilaterally impose any limits upon the provision of supplemental
information and such information shall be provided within seven (7) working days of the
original request. The regulatory authority may propose any adjustments it determines to
be required to bring the proposed rate adjustment into compliance with the provisions of
this tariff.
The regulatory authority may disallow any net plant investment that is not shown to be
prudently incurred. Approval by the regulatory authority of net plant investment pursuant
to the provisions of this tariff shall constitute a finding that such net plant investment
was prudently incurred. Such finding of prudence shall not be subject to further review
in a subsequent RRM or Statement of Intent filing.
During the Review Period, the Company and the regulatory authority will work
collaboratively and seek agreement on the level of rate adjustments. If, at the end of the
Review Period, the Company and the regulatory authority have not reached agreement,
the regulatory authority shall take action to modify or deny the proposed rate
adjustments. The Company shall have the right to appeal the regulatory authority's
action to the Railroad Commission of Texas. Upon the filing of an appeal of the
regulatory authority's order relating to an annual RRM filing with the Railroad
Commission of Texas, the regulatory authority having original jurisdiction over the
Company's rates shall not oppose the implementation of the Company's proposed rates
subject to refund, nor will the regulatory authority advocate for the imposition of a third
party surety bond by the Company. Any refund shall be limited to and determined based
on the resolution of the disputed adjustment(s) in a final, non-appealable order issued in
the appeal filed by the Company at the Railroad Commission of Texas.

In the event that the regulatory authority and Company agree to a rate adjustment(s)
that is different from the adjustment(s) requested in the Company’s filing, the Company
shall file compliance tariffs consistent with the agreement. No action on the part of the
regulatory authority shall be required to allow the rate adjustment(s) to become effective
on October 1. To the extent that the regulatory authority does not take action on the
Company's RRM filing by September 30, the rates proposed in the Company's filing
shall be deemed approved effective October 1. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, a regulatory authority may choose to take affirmative action to approve a rate
adjustment under this tariff. In those instances where such approval cannot reasonably
occur by September 30, the rates finally approved by the regulatory authority shall be
deemed effective as of October 1.
To defray the cost, if any, of regulatory authorities conducting a review of the
Company's annual RRM filing, the Company shall reimburse the regulatory authorities
on a monthly basis for their reasonable expenses incurred upon submission of invoices
for such review. Any reimbursement contemplated hereunder shall be deemed a
reasonable and necessary operating expense of the Company in the year in which the
reimbursement is made. A regulatory authority seeking reimbursement under this
provision shall submit its request for reimbursement to the Company no later than
December 1 of the year in which the RRM filing is made and the Company shall
reimburse regulatory authorities in accordance with this provision on or before
December 31 of the year the RRM filing is made.
To the extent possible, the provisions of the Final Order shall be applied by the
regulatory authority in determining whether to approve or disapprove of Company’s
proposed rate adjustment.
This Rider RRM does not limit the legal rights and duties of a regulatory authority.
Nothing herein shall abrogate the jurisdiction of the regulatory authority to initiate a rate
proceeding at any time to review whether rates charged are just and reasonable.
Similarly, the Company retains its right to utilize the provisions of Texas Utilities Code,
Chapter 104, Subchapter C to request a change in rates. The provisions of this Rider
RRM are implemented in harmony with the Gas Utility Regulatory Act (Texas Utilities
Code, Chapters 101-105).
The annual rate adjustment process set forth in this tariff shall remain in effect during
the pendency of any Statement of Intent rate filing.

STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
The City, along with 171 other Mid-Texas Cities Served by Atmos Energy Corporation,
Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Steering Committee of
Cities Served by Atmos (“Cities”). In 2007, the Cities and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate
application filed by the Company pursuant to Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code for an
interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP filing (arising out of the Gas Reliability
Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a substitute rate review process, referred
to as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for future filings under the GRIP statute.
Since 2007, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The
Ordinance that resolved the Company’s application under the RRM Tariff in 2017 also terminated
the existing RRM Tariff and required a renegotiation of the terms of that tariff. Negotiations have
taken place over the past several months, and have resulted in a revised RRM Tariff that has been
agreed to by the Company. The Cities’ Executive Committee has recommended acceptance of the
revised RRM Tariff, which is attached to the Ordinance.
CITIES’ OBJECTION TO THE SECTION 104.301 GRIP PROCESS
Cities strongly opposed the GRIP process because it constitutes piecemeal ratemaking by
ignoring declining expenses and increasing revenues and rewarding the Company for increasing
capital investment. The GRIP process does not allow any review of the reasonableness of capital
investment and does not allow cities to participate in the Railroad Commission’s review of annual
GRIP filings or recover their rate case expenses. The Railroad Commission undertakes a mere
administrative review of GRIP filings (instead of a full hearing) and rate increases go into effect
without any material adjustments. In the Steering Committee’s view, the GRIP process unfairly
raises customers’ rates without any regulatory oversight. In contrast, the RRM process has allowed
for a more comprehensive rate review and annual evaluation of expenses and revenues, as well as
capital investment.
CHANGES TO THE RRM TARIFF
The RRM Tariff on which the 2017 rates were based allowed a rate of return on equity of
10.50%. The revised RRM Tariff reduces that to 9.8%. The revised RRM Tariff also captures the
reduction in federal income tax rates from 35% to 21%, and should result in a rate reduction
effective by mid-March, 2018. Prior RRM tariffs allowed Cities only three months to review the
Company’s filing. The new revised Tariff expands that time period by two months. New
applications by the Company should be made on or about April 1 of each year, with new rates
effective October 1. A rate order from the Railroad Commission in an Atmos Texas Pipeline rate
case adopted the position of Cities with regard to incentive compensation related to Atmos’ Shared
Services Unit that reduced allowed expenses, and that reduced level of expenses will be applicable
under the new RRM Tariff.
EXPLANATION OF “BE IT ORDAINED” PARAGRAPHS
1. This section approves all findings in the Ordinance.
2. This section adopts the attached RRM Tariff and finds the adoption of the Tariff to be just,
reasonable, and in the public interest. The prior tariff expired by its own terms.
2
3. This section requires the Company to reimburse the City for expenses associated with
adoption of the Ordinance and RRM Tariff and in processing future applications pursuant to
the Ordinance.
4. This section repeals any resolution or ordinance that is inconsistent with this Ordinance.
5. This section finds that the meeting was conducted in compliance with the Texas Open
Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551.
6. This section is a savings clause, which provides that if any section is later found to be
unconstitutional or invalid, that finding shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remaining
provisions of this Ordinance. This section further directs that the remaining provisions of
the Ordinance are to be interpreted as if the offending section or clause never existed.
7. This section provides for an effective date upon passage.
8. This section directs that a copy of the signed Ordinance be sent to a representative of the
Company and legal counsel for the Steering Committee.

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 boundaries from R Rural to GC General Commercial on approximately 4.5 acres of land
located at 11990 Old Wellborn Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Financially Sustainable City
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their February 15, 2018
meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval.
Summary: The applicant has requested a rezoning for approximately 4.5 acres of land from R Rural
to GC General Commercial. The property is currently designated as Urban and in Growth Area V on
the Comprehensive Land Use and Character Map. This designation calls for intense land use
activities that include commercial uses. The property is currently zoned R Rural, a zoning district for
low density acreage home sites. The proposed zoning of General Commercial would better suit the
current designation on the Comprehensive Plan for more intense uses.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
College Station, TX Printed on 3/1/2018Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:18-0157,Version:1
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban and in Growth Area V.
The Urban land use designation is generally for areas that should have a very intense level of
development activities. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-
density apartments. General commercial and office uses, business parks, and vertical mixed-
use may also be permitted within growth and redevelopment areas. For the Urban area
located within Growth Area V the Comprehensive Plan specifically states that intense land use
activities including general commercial, office uses, townhomes, high-density apartments, and
vertical mixed-use are appropriate. Currently, there are a significant number of apartments and
multi-family homes, but limited commercial uses.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
the character of the neighborhood: The properties to the north and west of the subject
property are zoned R Rural and currently developed as single-family residential and commercial
uses. They were designated R Rural upon annexation, but the Comprehensive Plan’s Future
Land Use and Character Map show this area as Urban and Growth Area V, which allows for
very dense development. The property to the east is currently developed with commercial
structures. This proposed zoning change would be compatible with the adjacent properties.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district
that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed zoning request
to expand the commercial zoning on this property would allow the existing commercial
development to redevelop. The request would then provide the opportunity to enhance the site
while trying to bring the existing site up to current development standards.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district
applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The property is
currently zoned R Rural. The current commercial use is on the portion of the property that is
designated as commercial. However, due to the property being zoned R Rural, the commercial
portion is not able to redevelop or make modifications on the property. Rural uses would not be
ideal here due to the size, location, and close proximity of high-classification roads and
commercial uses.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The property is
marketed as a commercial property and has been for years. The applicant would like to continue
the property’s use as a commercial site, but allow for redevelopment of the site into a
conforming commercial property. This site does not have a high potential to be marketed as a
rural/single-family residential development as it is located along a major arterial and adjacent to
an existing commercial development. Due to these characteristics, it has limited potential with
an R Rural zoning designation. Overall, the proposed GC General Commercial rezoning is
anticipated to increase the marketability of the property.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be served by Wellborn SUD.
Sanitary Sewer service is available via an existing 12-inch sewer line that is along the rear of the

tract and parallel to Cain Road.
The subject tract is not in the floodplain per Firm Panel 48041C0305F, dated 4/2/2014. It is also
in the Bee Creek’s Drainage Basin, and will need to provide detention for any proposed
increased impervious with future site development.
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.
