Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2019- 4113 amending Appendix “A,” “Unified Development Ordinance,” 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 MF Multi-Family for approximately 0.9 acres being a portion of Lake View Acres Subdivision, Lot 5, generally located at 2346 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South. Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from GS General Suburban to MF Multi-Family. The subject property is bounded on the north by Harvey Mitchell Parkway S. (FM2818) and on the east, south, and west by the MF Multi-Family portion of the Bertrand Subdivision. It is the applicant’s intent to incorporate the subject property into the development plans for the Bertrand Subdivision. The purpose of this rezoning request is to align the subject property with the surrounding MF Multi-Family zoning. RM0080819 Minutes Page 3 Ms. Halle-Schramm explained that the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) from the adjacent Bertrand Subdivision was updated with this rezoning request to incorporate the subject property into the larger development. Harvey Mitchell Parkway S. (FM2818) is a TXDOT road and permits will be required for future driveway access. TXDOT has requested a dedicated right-turn-lane into the Bertrand Subdivision, which transverses the subject property. The details of this driveway access and the associated permits will be finalized during the site planning p rocess. Separately from this rezoning request, the larger Bertrand Subdivision includes the initial extension of Dartmouth Street across Harvey Mitchell Parkway S. that will eventually extend to Texas Avenue to align with Brothers Boulevard. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on August 1, 2019 and recommended approval. Staff also recommends approval. At approximately 7:01 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:01 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember Brick, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance No. 2019- 4113, amending Appendix “A,” “Unified Development Ordinance,” 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 MF Multi-Family for approximately 0.9 acres being a portion of Lake View Acres Subdivision, Lot 5, generally located at 2346 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South. The motion carried unanimously. 2. Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2019-2014 amending Appendix "A," “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 9, “Nonconformities,” Section 9.4, “Nonconforming Lots of Record,” adding Subsection F, “Lots Made Nonconforming by Annexation.” Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planning and Development, stated that the Planning and Development staff recently received multiple property owner inquiries about replatting existing lots that were made nonconforming by the zoning regulations applied at the time they were annexed into the City limits. These property owners were unable to meet full-compliance with the dimensional standards of their current zoning regulations but desired to replat in a way that would make their property come closer to compliance than their current situation. Currently, it is not clearly stated in the Unified Development Ordinance that this type of replat is allowed. Therefore, staff is initiating a new item to explicitly state that replatting existing lots and platted or partially-platted building plots made nonconforming through annexation are allowed to replat, provided that the resulting replat brings the property closer to compliance with current zoning district standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 18, 2019 meeting and voted 4 -0 to recommend approval of the amendment. Staff recommends approval. At approximately 7:06 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:06 p.m. RM0080819 Minutes Page 4 MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Rektorik and a second by Councilmember Brick, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance No. 2019- 4114, amending Appendix "A," “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 9, “Nonconformities,” Section 9.4, “Nonconforming Lots of Record,” adding Subsection F, “Lots Made Nonconforming by Annexation.” The motion carried unanimously. 3.
