Scale Four lots on approximately 37 acres of land between State
Highway 6 and Midtown Drive.
Location 4111 State Highway 6 South
Applicant RME Consulting Engineers
Project Manager Jesse DiMeolo, Staff Planner
jdimeolo@cstx.gov
Project Overview This preliminary plan updates the original preliminary plan
approved in May 2019. Realignment of the future
thoroughfare Town Lake Drive is shown as well as the
agreed upon land swap between the City and property
owner. Parkland dedication is also shown on either side of
the proposed Town Lake Drive bridge. This will provide
connectivity with the adjacent parkland and multi-use path.
Since the dedication includes floodplain, it was required to
be presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
for recommendation then presented to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for approval.
Parkland Dedication While no parkland dedication is required with the plat,
2.697 acres of undevelopable floodplain is proposed to be
dedicated to help continue parkland connectivity in this
area. The Parks Board recommends approval of the
dedication.
Traffic Impact Analysis Not required but may be required in the future for site
development
Compliant with Comprehensive Plan
(including Master Plans) and Unified
Development Ordinance
Yes
Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes, with the exception of the discretionary item related to
floodplain being proposed for parkland dedication.
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan of MD
Wheeler Subdivision Phases 2,3 and 4. If the discretionary
item is denied, the preliminary plan should be approved
with the condition that references to parkland dedication
be removed.

PARKLAND DEDICATION DISCRETIONARY REQUEST
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations contained in the UDO except for the following discretionary request:
• UDO Section 12-8.8.C.5.a ‘Approval Process for Park Land Dedication’
Land Dedications equal or exceeding five (5) acres, and Dedications of Floodplains and Greenways:
For any proposed required neighborhood park land dedication equaling or exceeding five (5) acres of land or equaling or exceeding payment of a fee in lieu thereof, for any proposed required community park land dedication equaling or exceeding five (5) acres of land or equaling or exceeding the payment of a fee in lieu thereof, or for any proposed land dedication containing floodplain or greenway, the landowner must:
1) Obtain a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and 2) Obtain approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to the Plat Review
Section in Article 3 of this UDO.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the recommendation from the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board but may make a decision contrary to its recommendation by majority vote.
The parkland dedication is shown on both sides of the Town Lake Drive thoroughfare. It connects 18 acres of parkland to the west
with City property to the east. Part of the multi-use path to the west in phase one of the development is already constructed.
This parkland dedication was presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on October 13, 2020 and was recommended unanimously 7-0.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Barron Crossing Lot 1, Block 11
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Jesse DiMeolo, 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 PDD Planned Development District to SC Suburban Commercial on
approximately 4.5 acres of land located at 412 William D Fitch Parkway. Case # REZ2020-000010 (Note:
Final action of this item will be considered at December 10, 2020 City Council Meeting - Subject to
change.)
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone from PDD Planned
Development District to SC Suburban Commercial.
Summary: The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 4.5 acres of undeveloped land located
between William D Fitch Parkway and WS Phillips Parkway. If approved, the change in the zoning district
boundaries from PDD Planned Development District with a SC Suburban Commercial base to SC
Suburban Commercial would bring new development opportunities to a vacant piece of land which sits
near a major arterial in the city. The current PDD zoning only permits a self-storage facility and by
removing this limitation it will open up greater marketability for the site.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is
currently zoned PDD Planned Development District, and is designated as Restricted Suburban on
the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Properties with the
Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map designation of Restricted Suburban
are intended to allow for moderate levels of development activities. These areas will tend to
consist of medium-density single-family residential lots when clustered around open space, or
larger lot sizes when not clustered.
The subject lot is also located in Growth Area IV. In general, growth areas are located in
greenfields and are intended to allow land use flexibility when coupled with higher design
standards. Growth Area IV is intended for less intense suburban activities and cluster
development may be utilized when a large portion (15% or more) of the overall area is retained
for open space. The proposed development is consistent with the allowable land uses for
Growth Area IV and also with surrounding land use designations. Being located along a heavily
trafficked road in the area, and being a primary route to reaching the interior of the city, it is
appropriate for the zoning at this location to allow for uses geared toward commuter, visitor,
and local patrons.
Page 17 of 37
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context
of the surrounding area:
Land within a close proximity to the subject property include, but are not limited to restaurants,
law offices, financial advisory services, an elementary school, and single-family residences. The
proposed rezoning is compatible with the land uses in the area and the intent to compliment
the character of suburban single-family neighborhoods within the area.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
Due to its frontage on three public roads, the subject property is appropriately placed for SC
Suburban Commercial development. Also, no portion of the subject property is located within
the 100-year 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 and sewer service will be provided by the City of College Station. There are existing water
and sewer lines along the property’s southern boundary. There is adequate capacity of both
water and sewer for this development. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with
site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines.
The subject property has frontage on three roads, William D. Fitch Parkway, which is designated
as a Freeway/Expressway on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan, WS Phillips Parkway, which is a 4 lane
Minor Arterial and Barron Cut-Off Road, which is a 2 lane Minor Collector. A traffic impact
analysis (TIA) was not required for this rezoning request but may be required in the future for
site development if the trip generation from the proposed development warrants an analysis.
5. The marketability of the property:
The applicant states that they believe the zoning change will allow for better marketability of
the property and a better provision for development opportunities that will meet the intent of
the requested zoning. The current PDD zoning ordinance completely limits the marketability by
restricting the use and layout of buildings on the property.

Page 23 of 37
Area Conditions
The current PDD with a base zoning of SC was for a specific Self Storage Facility project that did not
move to fruition. It is desired to revert the property to the base SC zoning.
Compatibility
SC zoning is compatible with the immediately adjacent property zoned C-3 and is compatible with the
zoning intent to compliment the character of the suburban single-family neighborhoods within the area.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive plan indicates this area to be restricted suburban. Due to the nature and
requirements of the SC Zone, it complies with the Comprehensive Plan.
Rezoning Suitability
SC zoning is the current base zoning for the subject tract. Based on the SC zone requirements, an SC
zoning is suitable at this location,
Current Suitability
The Current PDD zoning (Ordinance No. 2015-3724) only permits a Self-Storage facility development.
Property Marketability
Based on the Current PDD Zoning Ordinance No. 2015-3724, marketability is completely limited and
restricted to a specific self-storage use and layout of buildings.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Wellborn Learning Center
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Rachel Lazo, Senior 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 R Rural to WC Wellborn Commercial on approximately 1.8 acres of land
located at 14999 FM 2154. Case # REZ2020-000008 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at
December 10, 2020 City Council Meeting - Subject to change.)
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval rezoning as requested.
Summary: The applicant has requested a rezoning for approximately 1.8 acres of land from R Rural to
WC Wellborn Commercial.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject area is designated as Wellborn Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use and Character Map, located within the Wellborn Community Neighborhood Plan area. The
neighborhood planning process offers the opportunity to develop an in-depth knowledge of an
area and develop area specific approaches to implementing the Comprehensive Plan. These
studies include various factors including community character, public facilities and services, and
detailed existing conditions.
The Wellborn Community was annexed into the City limits in 2011. As a result of that
annexation the Wellborn Community Plan was created to help address concerns by residents,
land owners, and business owners. The goal of this plan was to work with stakeholders to
identify and retain elements of the community that contribute to its rural character, as well as
guide future development in the area. One way to implement this goal was to create new land
use designations that are unique to the Wellborn Community.
The Wellborn Commercial designation is similar to the Suburban Commercial designation in that
it is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that focus primarily on the nearby
residents versus the larger community. The Wellborn Community Plan goes further to limit the
size of uses and not accommodate for drive-thru services. Specific design elements as described
in the Wellborn Community Plan should be incorporated into development to limit the visual
impact on the community and enhance the defined character.
The plan also outlines implementation items to carry out the vision of the plan, one of which
was to create unique zoning districts that match the new land use descriptions. These new
zoning districts were adopted by City Council in 2016, including WC Wellborn Commercial.

This rezoning request from R Rural to WC Wellborn Commercial is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Wellborn Community Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context
of the surrounding area:
Surrounding uses with the exception of the nearby office building and Wellborn Special Utility
District are nonconforming. Nonconforming uses are able to continue in their existing
configuration. The Unified Development Ordinance outlines what types of actions taken on a
property require the development to come into compliance with today’s regulations. These
actions include but are not limited to use change, building expansion, or other site related
changes.
As development continues to occur in the area, the Wellborn Community Plan calls for WC
Wellborn Commercial zoning along Wellborn Road. The proposed rezoning request is
compatible with both nonconforming and conforming uses that surround the property.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The subject property is zoned R Rural. Rural uses would not be ideal here due to the size,
location, and close proximity of high-classification roads and commercial uses. The size of the
tract would allow for one rural, single-family home, which conflicts with the commcial uses
projected in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and would not be compatible with the adjacent
existing uses. However, the proposed zoning district would allow for limited commercial uses,
which would be more appropriate for a tract immediately abutting 3 public streets and a
railroad. Due to its proximity FM 2154, the subject property is appropriately placed for WC
Wellborn Commercial development.
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 is available to the subject area and provided by Wellborn Special Utility District.
There is an adjacent 12-inch sanitary sewer line that may serve the area; however, the applicant
is proposing to remain on septic. Drainage and public infrastructure will be addressed with site
development and shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines.
The subject property has frontage to three roadways: FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), Victoria
Avenue, and Royder Road. FM 2154 is designated as a future 4-lane Major Arterial, Victoria
Avenue as a future 2-lane Major Collector, and this portion of Royder Road is not on the City’s
Thoroughfare Plan as Royder Road to the south is being realigned to FM 2154. Due to the
acreage of the subject property, a traffic impact analysis (TIA) is not required for the rezoning
request.
5. The marketability of the property:
R Rural allows for rural residential and agricultural uses. With continuing development in the
area, existing commercial developments, and frontage to FM 2154, the property has limited
marketability under the current zoning district.

MEMORANDUM
November 19, 2020 TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission FROM: Jade Broadnax AICP Candidate, Staff Planner SUBJECT: UDO Amendment – “Related” and “Family” Definition Amendment
Item: Public hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance
amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 11.2, “Defined Terms,” of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, regarding the definitions of “related”
and “family.” Case# ORDA2020-000004. (Final action on this item is scheduled for the
Thursday, December 10, 2020 City Council Meeting, subject to change)
Background: The current definitions of “related” and “family” restrict occupancy of a single
dwelling unit to no more than four unrelated persons city wide. Persons are considered
unrelated if they are beyond the first or second degree of consanguinity (blood relation) or
affinity (marriage.) The purpose of this amendment is to address public concern regarding the
restrictive nature of these definitions and modernize the ordinance in accordance with legal
precedent.
The proposed Unified Development Ordinance amendment creates a more permissive definition
of “family” that removes language referring to degrees of consanguinity and affinity and clarifies
specific familial types.
Supporting Material:
1. UDO Section 11.2 Defined Terms Redline
Page 36 of 37
Sec. 11.2. - Defined Terms.
….
Family: A family is one (1) or more any number of persons occupying a single dwelling unit, provided that unless all members are related by (1) related by blood, (2) adoption, (3) guardianship, (4) or marriage, or (25) are part of a group home for disabled persons, or an authoritzed caretaker, no such family shall contain more than four (4) persons. Guardianship shall include foster children, exchange students, or those in the process of securing legal custody of a person under age 18. Any asserted common law marriage must be subject to an affidavit of record under the family code, or a judicial determination. The term “family” shall not be construed to mean a club, a lodge, or a fraternity/sorority house.
….
Related: Persons are related when they are within the first or second degree of consanguinity or affinity. Persons are not related by affinity unless lawfully married, and any asserted common law marriage must be subject to an affidavit of record under the family code, or a judicial determination.
