Project Manager Lauren Hovde, AICP, Senior Planner lhovde@cstx.gov Project Overview The applicant is currently requesting to replat a portion of the original Lot 10 to create two single family lots.

Preliminary Plan N/A Public Infrastructure N/A Parkland Dedication $1,261 due at final plat for one single family lot Traffic Impact Analysis N/A Compliant with Comprehensive Plan (including Master Plans) and Unified Development Ordinance Yes Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes, with the exception of the waiver being requested for UDO Section 8.3.K.3.e ‘Sidewalks Exceptions’, which requires the construction of a public sidewalk along Renee Lane as identified in the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan. Staff Recommendation Denial of the waiver request and approval of the Final Plat, with the condition that Sidewalk Fee In Lieu of Construction be paid according to UDO Section 8.3.K.5.b. Supporting Materials 1. Waiver Request 2. Vicinity Map, Aerial, and Small Area Map 3. Supporting Information 4. Final Plat Final Plat of the Bald Prairie Subdivision Lot 10R-A and 10R-B Being a Replat of Bald Prairie Subdivision Lot 10 (portion of) FP2019-000010 SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST The proposed Final Plat is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations contained in the UDO except for the following waiver request: UDO Section 8.3.K.3.e ‘Sidewalks Exceptions’, states that sidewalks are not required: “Along existing local/residential streets unless sidewalks have been identified in the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan or in the applicable neighborhood, district, or corridor plan.” The applicant is requesting relief from this requirement in order to not construct a sidewalk along Renee Lane (as shown in red). 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; Renee Lane is currently constructed as a county road with an open ditch cross section and a pavement width that is approximately 20 feet wide. In 2018, the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan was amended to include the subject portion of Renee Lane as a future sidewalk area with the intention that this connection would provide a safe pedestrian route to surrounding subdivisions. This sidewalk is also intended to extend south to a future street that will connect to the existing Windmeadows Drive across Victoria Avenue. The applicant believes the special condition related to this property is that much of Renee Lane has developed in recent years without the requirement of sidewalk construction. In addition, the open ditch cross section of Renee Lane is not a condition that is ready for a public sidewalk. Though staff agrees that the timing and construction of a sidewalk may not be suitable at this time, since Renee Lane is built to a rural section and not identified as Rural/Estate context on the Thoroughfare Plan it qualifies for the Fee In Lieu of Construction option offered in UDO Section 8.3.K.5.b. This alternative to construction allows the property owners in similar situations to pay in the Sidewalk Fund at a current fee of $5 per square foot for the length of the required public sidewalk. 2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; The applicant has expressed the concern that the construction of a sidewalk would decrease the enjoyment of the property by creating the only sidewalk-adjacent property on the street. Therefore, the sidewalk along the right-of-way would have no connection other than across Renee Lane and a future connection to the south for the length of the abutting property. Staff believes the applicant can still enjoy this same property right with the payment of the Fee In Lieu of Construction. 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 While the granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, a sidewalk along Renee Lane would increase public safety for the pedestrian traffic, particularly those coming to and from the nearby College Station High School. The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan does not indicate the need for a sidewalk along Renee that extends to Barron Road, but a future break in block connecting to Windweadows Drive would provide a safe alternative route down Victoria Avenue into the surrounding residential areas. Though, the current condition of the roadway as a narrow open ditch cross section and is not conducive to the construction of a sidewalk at this time the use of the Fee In Lieu of Construction can be appropriately applied. 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 this waiver request will not impact the future orderly subdivision of land. CHRISTIAN ANZE GALINDO June 6, 2019 Regular Agenda Rezoning – University Park Section II Block T Lot 15A Case #: REZ2018-000019 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Jade Broadnax, Staff Planner Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action 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 O Office with OV Corridor Overlay to GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay for approximately 3 acres being University Park Section II Block T Lot 15A, generally located at 1101 University Drive East, 1103 University Drive East, and 1105 University Drive East. Case # REZ2018-000019 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the June 13, 2019 City Council Meeting). Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. Summary: The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from O Office with OV Corridor Overlay to GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay. The change in zoning will allow for a wider range of uses in the existing development while retaining the supplemental setback, sign, and building color standards established with the OV Corridor Overlay district. The rezoning request does not include a 1500 square foot lot in the middle of the subject property that is separately owned and used as a utility. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as General Commercial. General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents and to the larger community or region. The property is located on University Drive East, which serves as a primary image corridor, and maintaining the OV Corridor Overlay helps provide a consistent image through unified setback, sign, and building color standards along the overlay district boundary. The proposed rezoning to GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay on the subject property 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 GC General Commercial zoning district permits a variety of land uses including restaurants (including drive-thru restaurants), hotels, offices, and retail sales – all of which are existing uses in the surrounding area. Surrounding the subject property is a series of offices, retail sales establishments, multiple hotels, and a bank. Consistent with the requested GC General Commercial zoning, the majority of University Drive East from Highway 6 to Tarrow Street is zoned GC General Commercial, with low density multifamily developments and single family subdivisions located adjacent to this corridor. There is also both single-family and multi-family development near the subject property. The larger area to the north spanning from Spring Loop to the corporate boundary is zoned R-4 Low Density Multifamily, which encompasses townhomes and various styles of low density multifamily including duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. The property is currently occupied by nine office tenants in a total of three buildings. Past vacancy rates have fluctuated, although all spaces are currently occupied. The parking calculations approved with the original site plan are able to support more intense uses, and are meeting current Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) shopping center parking standards. Current UDO standards do not require a landscape buffer between office and multifamily uses, however a ten- foot buffer with a fence is required between commercial and multifamily uses. If a total site redevelopment is proposed following the rezoning, a buffer would be required at that time. The OV Corridor Overlay district exists to protect the image of key corridors by requiring supplemental standards for specific site improvements such as setback, sign, and building color standards. The OV Corridor Overlay district does not permit or prohibit specific land uses, with the exception of some vehicular repair and service. The request to rezone the property to GC with OV is contextually appropriate for the area in regards to land use. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The proposed rezoning encompasses Lot 15A, which meets the dimensional standards of the proposed GC General Commercial zoning district. The property is developed with one office building fronting on University Drive and two buildings at the back of the lot. Lot 15A is roughly 3 acres and surrounds the existing, platted 0.17-acre Lot 15B on its interior. Lot 15B is owned separately by Atmos Energy/Mid-Tex Division, and is home to an existing, inactive transfer station and multiple easements housing active, intrastate pipeline. Restricted access is taken into the Atmos transfer station through a private driveway. While the Atmos property and easements on site present some development limitation, the site is physically suitable for the proposed GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay zoning. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: The existing development is currently served by College Station water and wastewater. There are existing water and sewer lines to serve the property. At the current time there is adequate water and sanitary sewer capacity in these lines to accommodate the proposed rezoning. On-site detention was provided with the original site plan approved in 2000, and drainage and other public infrastructure is existing on site. The subject property will continue to take access through an existing driveway to University Drive East, and in addition has a secondary access point to University Dr. through a parking and access easement with the adjoining property to the west. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required for review as part of the rezoning request. The site is suitable for the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district. 5. The marketability of the property: Changing the zoning for Lot 15A from O Office with OV Corridor Overlay to GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay alters the allowed uses and the development requirements for non-residential development while retaining the supplemental setback, sign, and building color standards established with the Corridor Overlay district. Being located along University Drive East, the property is situated along a corridor which has been established for providing regionally significant commercial activity. The proposed rezoning would allow for increased marketability by permitting land uses with more intensive development activity. The applicant has expressed that the limited land uses permitted by right in the O Office zoning district have reduced the potential for marketability, and the rezoning to GC General Commercial will allow the applicant to market to a wider array of potential tenants. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Background Information 2. Vicinity Map, Aerial, and Small Area Map 3. Rezoning Exhibit 4.

N/A Page 2 of 2 June 6, 2019 Regular Agenda Comprehensive Plan Amendment – White’s Creek To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Rachel Lazo, Senior Planner Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use and Character Map from Estate to Suburban Commercial for approximately 1.3 acres, generally located southwest of the intersection of Greens Prairie Road West and White’s Creek Lane. Case #CPA2019-000001 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the June 27th City Council Meeting- Subject to change.) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment. Summary: The applicant has requested an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map from Estate to Suburban Commercial as a step toward permitting a small-scale commercial development on approximately 1.3 acres located along Greens Prairie Road West at the periphery of the White’s Creek Subdivision. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property is currently zoned E Estate and has a future land use designation of Estate. The surrounding areas are designated as Restricted Suburban, Institutional/Public, and Estate on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The property is also located in Growth Area II, which consists of land near the interchange of William D. Fitch Parkway and State Highway 6. According to the Comprehensive Plan, due to service limitations and the prevailing rural character, the area within Growth Area II that is designated Estate should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity. In December 2015, the City Council heard and approved a City-initiated Comprehensive Plan amendment to reclassify the land southwest of the subject property as Restricted Suburban in an effort to aid the increasing demand for housing in the southern region of College Station. The White’s Creek Subdivision was excluded from the amendment boundary in order to preserve the existing character of the established neighborhood. In May 2017, 368.5 acres adjacent to the subject property were rezoned from R Rural to RS Restricted Suburban for the Greens Prairie Reserve subdivision. That site is currently under construction and will consist of 906 lots upon buildout. In June 2018, City Council heard and approved a request for a Planned Development District at the intersection of Greens Prairie Road West and Arrington Road, with a base zoning of GC General Commercial and MF Multi-Family, to allow a “dense, urban development… to create a distinctive destination” for the region. The proposed future land use of Suburban Commercial is more intense than the future land use designation of Estate to the south and east, but since the time of the Plan’s adoption changes to the Comprehensive Plan and surrounding zoning districts have changed the character of the area to be much denser than anticipated. 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 immediate area consists of existing land uses of the Forest Ridge Elementary School and White’s Creek estate-sized single- family homes. The adjacent lot to the southwest is currently developing as the Greens Prairie Reserve subdivision that will consist of Restricted Suburban single-family lots. The general area consists of existing and developing land uses such as drive-thru restaurants, a gas station, multi-tenant retail centers, and varying degrees of residential uses. While Suburban Commercial is more intense than the current land use designation of Estate, the proposed designation would allow for a transition from the existing commercial developments along Greens Prairie Road West and the proposed urban-style development at the intersection of Greens Prairie Road and Arrington towards single family uses. The proposed amendment is consistent with the future land use and character designations of the area and compatible with the development that exists and is happening in southwest College Station. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: Though this area is not recognized as environmentally sensitive, there is a portion of Spring Creek Tributary 5 on the subject tract. Subdivision of the site and any improvements necessary will be required to meet BCS Guidelines regarding the tributary. 4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: Domestic water service and fire flow coverage will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District which has indicated an ability to serve domestic and fire flow water service to the proposed subdivision. Sanitary sewer will be provided by the City of College Station. Offsite improvements may be required of the developer depending on the final sewer demand at time of site plan. Access to the property is proposed from Greens Prairie Road West, a future 4-lane Minor Arterial. A change in the future land use designation of the proposed scale will not have a substantial impact on the capacity of the planned thoroughfares in the area to support the development. There is no FEMA-regulated floodplain identified on the tract. The development will be required to comply with the City’s drainage ordinance. 5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in 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 Growth Area II. Growth Area II states that “due to the prevailing rural character, [the Estate portion of Growth Area II] should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity. A significant portion of the total area shall be retained as natural areas, parks, or open spaces with land uses clustered or placed on large lots.” The Urban area within Growth Area II encourages intense commercial development and high-density multi- family. Neither character designation within Growth Area II addresses transitional uses between the Urban and Estate designations, so Staff believes the requested amendment will further the goals of the Comprehensive Plan by stepping down the intensity of uses along the Greens Prairie corridor. Further amendments to allow more intense land uses in this immediate area are discouraged due to a limited future street network and utility constraints in this area, as well as to retain the existing rural character of the White’s Creek Subdivision. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Vicinity Map, Aerial, and Small Area Map 2.

Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is Estate, with a pending application to amend the Comprehensive Plan to Suburban Commercial. The property is also located in Growth Area II. Generally, this area consists of land near the interchange of William D. Fitch Parkway and State Highway 6. According to the Comprehensive Plan, due to service limitations and the prevailing rural character, the area within Growth Area II that is designated Estate should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity. Estate is a designation for areas with a prevailing rural character that should have limited development activities consisting of low-density single-family of one acre lots (or denser if clustered). Suburban Commercial is a designation for areas of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region. Generally these areas tend to be small in size and located adjacent to major roads (arterials and collectors). The City adopted the SC Suburban Commercial zoning district in 2012. If the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map is approved, the proposed rezoning will be compliant 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 property to the north, across Greens Prairie Road West, is developed as Forest Ridge Elementary School. To the east and south are large lot single-family residential properties which are zoned R Rural as a placeholder district until they rezone to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, which designates the surrounding areas as Estate. Further to the east is undeveloped, but was rezoned in June 2018 to PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning of GC General Commercial and MF Multi-Family to allow for a dense, urban development. The property to the west was rezoned RS Restricted Suburban in 2017 for the development of Greens Prairie Reserve, a single-family subdivision consisting of 906 lots on 365 acres. The subject tract is suitable for the proposed zoning to allow moderate commercial activity, given the mix of intense urban land uses, suburban style development, and larger rural lots surrounding this property and its location along Greens Prairie Road West, a future four-lane minor arterial. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The size and location of the subject property is suitable for smaller commercial uses. The site meets the minimal dimensional standards for the Suburban Commercial zoning district. Storm drainage is generally to the north and the existing pond and portion of Spring Creek Tributary 5 on the subject tract. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: Domestic water and fire flow service for this tract will be provided by Wellborn SUD. Wastewater service for this tract will be provided by College Station. Detention is required in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Drainage and any other infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Access to the property is proposed from Greens Prairie Road West, a future four-lane Minor Arterial. A traffic impact analysis was not required for the proposed request as the anticipated traffic generation falls below the threshold to require an analysis. 5. The marketability of the property: The property can be marketed under the current zoning which allows for large-lot residential uses. However, to plat the property in the proposed configuration, a portion of White’s Creek Lane would have to be constructed to meet the City’s fire lane standards. If the requested rezoning request were to be approved, the subject property would be granted access from Greens Prairie Road, improving the property’s marketability. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Vicinity Map, Aerial, and Small Area Map 2. Rezoning Exhibit 3. Background Information 4.

The subject property is across the street from Greens Praiire Elementary, AG Zoning to the rear, and Planned Development to the left and right sides of the subject property. the requested SC- Suburban Commercial is a good fit for the area. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. Comprehensive Plan Amendment is being brought forth simotaniously with this Zoning Request. With the speed of growth in the area and our knowledge of a Comprehensive Plan being reevaluated for the area in the near future, we belive that the new Comprehensive Plan would most likely turn this property into a General Commercial zoning in the future. Our request for SC- Suburban Commercial is inline with Greens Prairie Rd Development. How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? The traffic flow on Greens Prairire Rd is Suitable for Commercial Projects which is a demand in South College Station. The current zoning E- EState is not the appropriate fit. No residence would want to live right on Greens Prairie Rd. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. With the high density of commercial at Cap Rock Crossing and the new development at Arrington and Greens Prairie, the requested SC- Suburnban Commercial will fit in well down stream from higher density commercial. REZONING APPLICATION SUPPORTING INFORMATION Page 1 of 2 Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. With the high density of commercial at Cap Rock Crossing and the new development at Arrington and Greens Prairie, the requested SC- Suburnban Commercial will fit in well down stream from higher density commercial. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. As a Real Estate broker and owner of the property, I have received several inquiries from Professional Office Space to Daycare businesses. List any other reasons to support this zone change. This property is an island from the Whites Creek Rd. residence. The only ingress egress access to this property is from Greens Prairie Rd. With fencing requirements for SC- Suburban Commercial it will make a smooth transition from the Whites Creek Rd. and subdivision. Note: The final plat is complete and ready for filling of this 1.33 acre tract once this zoning request os complete.
