In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver (Staff findings are in italics). Each waiver request is addressed individually in
the order listed above:
Waivers 1-8: Section 8.3.G.2. ‘Block Length’. The image below depicts the locations of
block length waivers 1-8 in red, with the blue lines representing the floodplain
boundaries of Lick Creek and Spring Creek.
BLOCK Proposed Distance Distance over Maximum
1 1,345 Feet 445 Feet
2 5,350 Feet 4,450 Feet
3 5,400 Feet 4,500 Feet
4 1,970 Feet 1,070 Feet
5 2,000 Feet 1,100 Feet
6 1,200 Feet 300 Feet
7 1,850 Feet 950 Feet
8 2,115 Feet 915 Feet
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;
Staff is in support of the waivers as, due to the nature of the proposed development, the
additional length in the blocks do not provide any negative impact to the flow of traffic internally or to any external connection surrounding the development. The property is
bounded by Lick Creek and Spring Creek floodplain to the east and west, S.H. 6 to the
south, and the Southeast Community Park and old Luther Jones Landfill to the north. With a limited number of external access points to rights-of-way that are controlled by
TXDOT, an east/west connection is crucial and is provided with Midtown Drive, but not
at the maximum block length distance as required for the designation on the Thoroughfare Plan Functional Classification and Context Class Map.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant;
This property is located within a Business Park and zoned for Light Industrial uses. Due
to the special conditions listed above, including the substantial floodplain of Lick Creek and Spring Creek, and their impact on the property and ability to develop this tract, the
waiver requests are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the property
owner’s right to develop the property. 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
The granting of the waivers for this development will not be detrimental to the public as
the surrounding properties have alternate points of access.
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 majority of the abutting properties are either developed or planned for development, with the exception of tracts located west of Southeast Community Park, which have
approximately 1,700 feet of frontage along Rock Prairie Road, and a planned Minor
Collector (Double Mountain Road) to be extended from the private Midtown development located to the west.
Waivers 9-18: Section 8.J.2 ‘Access Ways’.
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;
The subject property includes two Hike and Bike trails (Lick Creek and Spring Creek), as
well as multiple access ways connecting the trails to the public street network, but not at the maximum blockface length of 900 feet as outlined in the UDO. The property is also
located within a Business Park and zoned for Light Industrial uses, including Outdoor
Storage, Warehouse and Distribution, and Manufacturing facilities, which rely more heavily on vehicular access than pedestrian access. In addition, the scale of these
permitted uses do not lend themselves to pedestrian activity as they usually require
large tracts of land and separation between buildings to provide maneuverability for delivery vehicles and machinery.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant;
Due to the special conditions listed above, including the substantial floodplain of Lick
Creek and Spring Creek, and their impact on the property and ability to develop this tract, the waiver requests are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the
property owner’s right to develop the property.
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
The granting of the waivers for this development will not be detrimental to the public as the surrounding properties have alternate points of access.
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 majority of the abutting properties are either developed or planned for development,
with the exception of tracts located west of Southeast Community Park, which have approximately 1,700 feet of frontage along Rock Prairie Road, and a planned Minor
Collector (Double Mountain Road) to be extended from the private Midtown development
located to the west.

Regular Agenda
Conditional Use Permit – The Angry Elephant
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Laura Gray, AICP, Senior Planner, Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion and possible action, to consider a 1,270 square
foot expansion of an existing bar located at 650 William D. Fitch Parkway, generally located on the
southwest corner of Arrington Road and William D. Fitch Parkway. Case #CUP2019-000001 (Note: Final
action of this item will be considered at the January 9th City Council Meeting - Subject to change.)
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit request.
Summary: The applicant requests to expand the area of an existing restaurant and bar into the adjacent
1,270 square foot tenant space for a total operation area of 3,250 square feet. The existing Conditional
Use Permit authorizing the current operation covers 1,980 square foot area. A new Conditional Use
Permit is needed to account for the expanded area of operation.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. The proposed use shall meet the purpose and intent of the Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO) and meet all minimum standards for this type of use per the UDO. On February 8, 2018,
City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for The Angry Elephant to operate as a Bar,
including 1,980 square feet of commercial tenant space in the Castlegate Business Center. The
applicant is requesting to expand the existing Bar into the adjacent 1,270 square foot tenant space.
The applicant is proposing that the bar continue to operate with late night hours, with the
establishment open to the public from 11:00am to 9:00pm, and that from 9:00pm to 2:00am
admittance will be restricted to persons age 21 or older. The applicant is not proposing any
changes to the existing site.
2. The proposed use shall be consistent with the development policies and goals and objectives
as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for development in the City. The subject tract is shown on
the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Institutional/Public and is located in
Growth Area II. This land use designation is generally for areas that are, and are likely to remain, in
some form of institutional or public activity. While there are some public uses in the area, this
property and the adjacent properties are zoned and developed for General Commercial uses, with
surrounding areas experiencing increasing commercial growth. Additionally, the Comprehensive Plan
specifically states that in Growth Area II, the area consisting of land near the interchange of William
D. Fitch Parkway and State Highway 6 should be used for intense land use activities
including general commercial activities, office uses, townhomes, apartments, and vertical mixed-
use.
3. The proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, or safety of the surrounding
neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or permanently injurious to neighboring
property. The proposed use is required by the Unified Development Ordinance to be at least 300
feet away from any church, public school or public hospital; this use will meet this ordinance. There
is no outdoor live music proposed with this use, and all activities associated with the bar will be
limited to interior of the structure. Thus, Staff believes that the use will not be detrimental or
substantially injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants.
4. The proposed site plan and circulation plan shall be harmonious with the character of the
surrounding area. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the site. The building is an existing
9,000 square-foot Retail Shopping Center with a drive-through, thus keeping the site plan and
circulation plan harmonious with the surrounding area’s character. The use would be limited to the
square footage approved through the Conditional Use Permit, which in this case would be a total of
3,250 square feet of commercial tenant space, including the existing 1,980 square feet and the
1,270 square feet expansion in the shopping center.
5. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the City through
impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities, electrical, or water and sewer
systems, or on public services such as police and fire protection, solid waste collection, or the
ability of existing infrastructure and services to adequately provide services. This use will not
negatively impact public infrastructure or services. This use will be in an existing site zoned GC
General Commercial that was originally planned and developed to accommodate commercial uses.
This site has existing parking spaces that meet the requirements for the proposed use. Staff also
reached out to the College Station Police Department for feedback on any possible concerns with
the proposed use and location. The response received was that this use did not pose any concerns
at this time.
6. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the City. Existing
uses in the area include commercial, public/institutional, and single-family. The addition of this
use will not negatively impact existing uses. Currently, the Castlegate Business Center has a car
wash, three restaurants with a drive-thru, and a convenient store with gas pumps.
