Case #CPA2019-000003 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the September 12th 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 Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved to General Commercial, Urban, and Natural Areas Reserved as a step toward permitting commercial and multi-family development on approximately 8.7 acres located at 2709 Texas Avenue South. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject properties have a future land use designation of Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved, but are currently entitled to more intense land uses through their current zoning of GC General Commercial and O Office. The adjacent properties located to the northwest are designated as Natural Areas Reserved and adjacent properties to the southeast are designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Properties across Texas Avenue South are designated as General Commercial and properties across Harvey Mitchell Parkway are designated as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The subject property is partially located in the Bee Creek natural planning corridor as indicated on the Comprehensive Plan’s Concept Map. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the focus of this natural planning corridor should be on the continued restoration of the creek, development of recreational opportunities, and expansion of its role in linking adjacent areas. In the 2018 update of the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan, the multiuse trail that was previously planned to be along the creek was relocated to follow Dartmouth Street to Krenek Tap and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. As a result, the floodplain area along Bee Creek and around the subject property will likely remain natural open space rather than become recreational in nature. Generally, there has been increasing development pressure in the general area surrounding the subject property. The property located across Harvey Mitchell Parkway South northeast of the subject property was rezoned to MF Multi-family in 2017. The property was platted in January 2019 as Bertrand Subdivision Phase 1 and proposes one multi-family lot on approximately 17.4 acres. The project also includes the extension of Dartmouth Street through the Bertrand properties. The almost one acre property adjacent to the Bertrand Subdivision was rezoned from GS General Suburban to MF Multi-family in August 2019. These residential changes in the subject area from single-family to multi-family compliments the 4.03 acre portion of the subject property that is being requested to be amended to Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Across Bee Creek, north of the subject property, the new police station is set to be relocated to the Krenek Tap and Dartmouth intersection. In the general vicinity of the subject property, park facilities are expanding at Central Park and a Red Lion Suites hotel is currently under construction at the intersection of Texas Avenue South and Morgans Lane. Given this increased development activity in the area, the proposed amendment from Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved to General Commercial, Urban, and Natural Areas Reserved would be more representative of the evolving subject area. 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 commercial businesses with uses including retail sales and service that function to serve the entire community and its visitors. For the proposed General Commercial portion, the adjacent lot to the northwest is occupied by the existing City of College Station Police Department, while the adjacent lot to the southeast is occupied by a Midas Auto Repair shop. The property located across Texas Avenue South is a retail center containing various commercial businesses including a grocery store, Autozone Auto Parts store, and a Tractor Supply Co. store. Single family homes are located adjacent to the proposed Urban portion of the subject property. These existing single family properties take direct access to a major arterial and are not a land use that is in compliance with their Suburban Commercial Future Land Use designation on the Comprehensive Plan. The current Suburban Commercial land use designation of the subject properties is meant for commercial activities that cater to primarily nearby residents versus the larger community or region. The general area has seen considerable growth consisting 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 General Commercial and Urban are more intense uses than the current land use designation of Suburban Commercial, the proposed designations are more appropriate for the area and would allow for the continuation of commercial and mixed-use developments more suitable for the corridors of Texas Avenue South and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The proposed amendment is consistent with future land use and character designations of the area and compatible with the development that exists and is currently happening in central College Station. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: The subject property is located adjacent to the Bee Creek tributary and a portion of the subject property lies within the FEMA- regulated floodplain. The applicant will be reclaiming a small portion of the floodplain and has maintained a portion of the subject properties as Natural Areas-Reserved as part of the amendment request. The Natural Areas Reserved designation is generally meant for areas that represent a constraint to development and should be preserved for their natural function or open space qualities. The applicant intends to provide compensatory storage and will be required to meet BCS Guidelines regarding the tributary during development of the subject properties. 4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: The subject properties will be served by existing water lines along Texas Avenue South and Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, and an existing sewer line through the tract. Domestic water service and fire flow coverage will be provided by the City of College Station. Sanitary sewer will be provided by the City of College Station. A water and sewer demand letter was provided by the applicant as part of this amendment request, and there were no issues with capacity based on the information provided. This will be monitored with any future development applications. The subject property has frontage to both Texas Avenue South (a 6-lane Major Arterial) and Harvey Mitchell Parkway (a future 6-lane Major 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. A portion of the subject property lies within the FEMA-regulated floodway and floodplain. Any future development will be required to comply with the City’s drainage ordinances and the BCS Drainage Design Guidelines. The subject property must also comply with the City’s No Adverse Impact requirements. A traffic impact analysis may be performed at the time of a future rezoning request and/or site development depending on the scale and uses that are proposed. 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 proposed General Commercial, Urban, and Natural Areas Reserved land uses encourage compatible growth by providing the option for a mix of appropriate commercial uses near the intersection of two major thoroughfares, continued designation of floodplain as reserved open space, and housing options needed to support the residents in the area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Vicinity, Aerial, and Small Area Map 2.

Fitch Parkway. Case # REZ2018-000023 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the September 12, 2019 City Council Meeting). Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. Summary: The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from R Rural to RS Restricted Suburban, GC General Commercial, O Office, and NAP Natural Areas Protected. The change in zoning will allow a 175-acre continuation of the Pebble Creek Subdivision with an additional non-residential component of approximately 18 acres. This proposal also includes the protection of approximately 17 acres of floodplain land through an NAP Natural Areas Protected zoning abutting the Pebble Creek Golf Course. 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 Restricted Suburban, General Commercial, Natural Areas-Reserved, and Natural Areas-Protected which coincides with the proposed rezoning request. The majority of the property has a future land use designation of Restricted Suburban which is intended for a moderate level of single-family housing with lot sizes averaging 8,000 square feet in area. RS Restricted Suburban zoning is appropriate for this land use designation. In 2018, City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map amendment for 29 acres on the subject tract from Rural to General Commercial. General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large in size and located near the intersection of two regionally significant roads (arterials and freeways). Both GC General Commercial and O Office are appropriate zoning districts for this land use designation. Natural Areas-Reserved and Natural Areas-Protected both apply development constraints to properties based on natural features such as floodplain, floodway, or riparian buffers. For the subject property, designated floodplain areas will be rezoned with the NAP Natural Area-Protected zoning district. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The continuation of Pebble Creek as a RS Restricted Suburban residential development is consistent with the active 1998 Pebble Creek Master Plan. The land east of Rock Prairie is developed as estate-style single-family housing subdivisions, and the property to the west is consistently medium-density housing which includes previous phases of Pebble Creek, Stone Ridge, and The Crossing at Lick Creek. Rock Prairie Road, a future 4-Lane Major Arterial, will act as a point of transition between the medium-density single-family housing development style to the low-density housing the east side of the right-of-way. The GC General Commercial zoning district allows for a variety of land uses including restaurants (including drive-thru restaurants), hotels, offices, and retail sales. These uses will complement the increasing density associated with the proposed 175 acres of single-family residential housing. It is also suitable match to the non-residential activity occurring north of William D. Fitch Parkway at the College Station ISD bus barn and future suburban commercial at the diagonal of the abutting intersection of Rock Prairie Road. The addition of O Office uses provides a transition from the single-family development along William D. Fitch Parkway to the more intense proposed GC General Commercial. O Office also acts as a buffer for the residential uses against William D. Fitch Parkway, a future 6-Lane Major Arterial. Uses allowed within this district are low-intensity and considered complimentary to single-family development. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: Located near the intersection of two major roadways, GC General Commercial and O Office are appropriate zoning districts based on location. An oil well and its associated blast zone are located within the GC General Commercial portion of the request so residential development should be clear from any future hazard concerns related to that well. In regards to the floodplain areas located on site, 17 acres of floodplain land are included in the request as NAP Natural Areas-Protected. This will prohibit the sale of this land to individuals for residential use. A drainage study will be required upon development of the site to ensure storm water movement post development does not negatively impact the nearby Lick Creek Tributary and floodplain. 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 provided by the City of College Station. There is an existing 18-inch water main along William D Fitch, and a 12-inch future water master plan line planned along Rock Prairie Road. There is an existing 12-inch sewer line along William D Fitch. Public infrastructure will be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to currently have capacity to adequately serve the propose uses. The site is in the Lick Creek Drainage basin and generally drains towards Lick Creek Tributary 8. With site development, detention will not be required per currently adopted Watershed Timing assessment if the site directly discharges into Lick Creek Tributary 8. Drainage improvements are required to be designed and constructed in accordance with B/CS Unified Storm Water Design Guidelines, and site development impacts on the drainage systems will be evaluated further at that time. The subject tract has frontage to William D. Fitch Parkway which is designated on the Thoroughfare Plan as a future 6-lane Major Arterial and currently constructed as a 4-lane Major Arterial in this area. The tract also has frontage to Rock Prairie Road which is designated as a future 4-lane Major Arterial and currently constructed as a 2-lane rural section roadway. A future 2-lane Minor Collector internal to the tract connects William D. Fitch Parkway and Rock Prairie Road and will be constructed with the development of the tract. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was performed for the proposed zoning request. With build out of residential in 2023, mitigation of an all-way stop at Williams D. Fitch Parkway and Pebble Creek Parkway may be needed. A warrant analysis should be performed in the future with development of the tract. The City has funds to design the extension of the Pebble Creek Parkway through the proposed Midtown Business Park to the north and a traffic signal at William D. Fitch Parkway and Pebble Creek Parkway is being considered as part of those plans. With the build out of the commercial portion in 2026, a traffic signal will likely be needed at William D. Fitch Parkway and Rock Prairie Road with additional turn lanes being added on Rock Prairie Road. The TIA will likely need to be updated at the time of preliminary plan and site development to update the traffic assumptions and confirm the need for potential mitigation. 5. The marketability of the property: As part of a Pebble Creek development, the medium-density single-family housing options, with an average lot area of 8,000, will accommodate for the increasing desire of the population to move to the southern portion of the City while staying within the College Station school district. With single-family development density increasing in the southeastern portion of the City and ETJ, a need for additional commercial options in that vicinity will occur. The location proposed for the GC General Commercial and O Office zoning districts, being the intersection of a future 6-Lane Major Arterial and 4-Lane Major Arterial, is well situated to serve development in this area. Future traffic mitigation, such as a signalized intersection, will increase the safety for patron use of that commercial area making it a more desirable property. Therefore, Staff believes there to be positive marketability of this property for the zoning districts proposed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
