Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Creek Meadows SEC 1A
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Laura Gray, Senior Planner, Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion and possible action regarding an ordinance
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 boundary from
PDD Planned Development District to PDD Planned Development District for approximately 15 acres
being a portion of the Samuel Davidson (ICL) Tract, generally located at the southwest corner of Victoria
Avenue and Creek Meadows Boulevard North. Case # REZ2019-000019 (Note: Final action of this item
will be considered at the March 9, 2020 City Council Meeting - Subject to change.)
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request and associated Concept Plan.
Summary: This request is to change the base zoning from T Townhouse with attached single-family
homes to GS General Suburban with detached single-family homes. The subject property is bounded on
the northwest by Victoria Avenue, the northeast by Creek Meadow Boulevard, and on the southeast and
southwest by detached single-family development.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: Creek Meadows began
development in the ETJ and this portion of the development is vested to duplex use and zoned for
townhomes. The subject property is designated as Restricted Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use and Character Map. The Restricted Suburban designation is described as having
“…a moderate level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of medium-density
single-family residential lots (acreage 8,000 square feet) when clustered around open space, or
larger lot sizes when not clustered.” The rezoning of this property would result in detached single-
family homes. The applicant is proposing a concept plan that will ensure medium density single-
family development occurs. The proposal will reduce the development density making it more
compliant with the Restricted Suburban designation.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of
the surrounding area: Future development of the subject property will be comprised of detached
single-family homes. The proposed building setbacks are also similar to that found in the
surrounding residential development. This development scenario is appropriate in the context of the
existing surrounding single-family residential subdivisions.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The
subject property has frontage and takes access to Creek Meadow Boulevard and Shallow Creek
Loop. These streets have access to Victoria Avenue and Greens Prairie Road West. The proposed
rezoning would reduce the development density resulting in less traffic affecting the neighboring
area. According to the FEMA flood insurance rate map (Community No. 480041, Panel No. 0325F,
effective date: April 16, 2012), the subject property does not lie within the FEMA 100-year regulated
Page 18 of 41
floodplain. There are no known geographic anomalies. The subject property is physically suitable for
the proposed zoning district.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: There are adequate
services available for this proposal. Water will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District and
extended through the proposed development from the existing distribution system. Sanitary sewer
will be provided by the City of College Station and the collection system will be extend through the
proposed development. The reduced density will further reduce the sewer load to the Creek
Meadows Lift Station. The total peak traffic generation anticipated for this project is approximately
107.6 trips per hour. As the number of trips generated during the peak PM hours will not exceed the
150, a Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for this development. The subject property is located
in the Peach Creek Drainage Basin and drains to the Peach Creek Tributary.
5. The marketability of the property: This rezoning is anticipated to aid the marketability of the
property, as there is a need for affordable detached single-family homes in the City.
REVIEW OF THE CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed land use as well as
access points external and internal to the property. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request
variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those variations are
outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified
Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept
Plans.
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the
character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and
any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely
affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly
or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to,
parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or
pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the
proposed use and other uses
General:
The request proposes to modify the Concept Plan to accommodate for detached single-family home
development rather than attached single-family homes (townhomes). The moderate density single-
family home development will blend into the surrounding neighborhoods.
Community Benefits:
Attached and/or detached garages will be required with each detached single-family dwelling unit.
Page 19 of 41
Page 20 of 41
Modification Requested: The applicant is proposing the following modifications to the GS General
Suburban standards:
A reduction in the minimum lot width from 50-feet to 40-feet,
A maximum dwelling units per acre of 7 units,
An expansion in block length ranging from 1,200-ft to 2,250-ft as depicted on the concept plan,
and
A reduction in the rear setback from 20-feet to 15-feet for lots adjacent to Victoria Avenue.
This proposal reduces the overall density that would have occurred with attached townhomes by
allowing for moderate density detached single-family homes. The development will blend into the
surrounding detached single-family residential phases of Creek Meadows.

MEMORANDUM
February 20, 2020
TO:Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM:Anthony Armstrong, P.E., Engineering Services and Construction Inspections Manager
SUBJECT:UDO Amendment – Impervious Cover
Item:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A,
“Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 5.2, “Residential Dimensional Standards,” Section 5.6,
“Retired Dimensional Standards,” Section 6.5, “Accessory Uses,” and Section 11.2, “Defined Terms,”
relating to impervious cover. Case# ORDA2019-0000013. (Final action on this item is scheduled for the
March 9, 2020 City Council Meeting)
Summary: The purpose of these amendments is to implement a maximum percentage impervious cover
requirement for residential development. The amendments will address growing concerns regarding lot
by lot redevelopment in older neighborhoods. These areas tend to lack modern drainage and detention
measures and have created drainage concerns when lots have been excessively covered with impervious
surfaces. The UDO currently has no impervious surface limitations, which allows for the entirety of a lot
to be covered with impervious surfaces. These amendments will apply to both existing and new
subdivisions based on the lot’s zoning district unless otherwise mitigated by an on-site or regional
drainage facility and associated drainage study approved by the City Engineer or his/her designee.
Background: The Planning and Zoning Commission considered changes to the Unified Development
Ordinance related to impervious cover on January 2, 2020. At that time, the Commission directed staff to
elicit additional input and refine the definition of Impervious Surface. Since that time staff has reached
out for feedback through various means including through the Planning and Development Newsletter, the
Neighborhood Newsletter, a City blog post, information on the City’s website, and an additional meeting
with the building and development community.

out for feedback through various means including through the Planning and Development Newsletter, the
Neighborhood Newsletter, a City blog post, information on the City’s website, and an additional meeting
with the building and development community.

Impervious Cover: Impervious cover is the percentage of a lot’s area that is covered, or proposed to be covered, by impervious surfaces.
Impervious Surface: Impervious surface is a measure of land use intensity and is the considered any proportion of a site occupied by impervious surfaces materials or construction that limits the absorption of water by covering the natural land surface; this shall includeing, but is not limited to, buildings, sidewalks, drives, all-weather surfaces, parking, rooftops, patios, decking, masonry, stone, and other alternative pavements. Alternative materials used for landscaping purposes in non-load bearing areas, and the water surface area within the walls of pools are not considered impervious surfaces.
