Commissioner Guerra asked where Sara Lane will tie into. Staff Planner DiMeolo stated that the developer has proposed to have a temporary access easement for turn around at the end of Sara Lane.

subdivision regulations and will extend into open property. Commissioner Guerra asked if it is anticipated that Sara Lane ties to a road or thoroughfare.
Page 6 of 22
January 21, 2021 P&Z Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 3

with additional phases of Summit Crossing. Commissioner Guerra inquired about the detention ponds on the property, asking if they are in the flood plain.

TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Molly Hitchcock, P&DS Assistant Director
SUBJECT: BioCorridor appointments
Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action a recommendation on Planning & Zoning Commission
appointments to the BioCorridor Board. Summary: The zoning and development ordinance for the BioCorridor Planned Development District
establishes a BioCorridor Board as a body of representatives from the cities and the Texas A&M University System that would be able to make subjective decisions regarding specific requests in the area (such as appeals
to site plan requirements and parking waivers) and recommendations to other decision-making bodies (such
as subdivision waiver requests to the Planning & Zoning Commission).
The ordinance calls for City Council to appoint three representatives from the City of College Station to the Board. Membership requires that:
• One be a member of City Council and
• Two be members of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The role of the Board is to provide recommendations:
• To City P&Z regarding subdivision waivers.
• To City P&Z regarding amendments to the BioCorridor PDD The Board has the power to take final action on:
• Special District Identification Signs
• Temporary signs promoting positive community communications
• Works of art on public land
• Appeals to Staff’s determination of platting requirements
• Appeals to Staff’s denial of a site plan
• Appeal of Staff’s denial of an alternative parking plan
• Waivers related to parking
• Alternatives to Highway Buffer Standards
• Appeals to Highway Buffer Standards

Office 979.764.3570 / Fax 979.764.3496
The Board meets on an as-needed basis, the dates and times coordinated by staff with the applicant and the
Board members. The Board last met in February of 2019, when they recommended changes to the
BioCorridor PDD that ultimately eliminated the need for waivers to problematic site planning requirements. The Board has not had to meet since the City Councils adopted the revised PDD in 2019.
As of the date of this report, the following commissioners have expressed interest in serving on the Board:
• Commissioner Cornelius
• Commissioner Guerra
• Commissioner Mirza
• Commissioner Osborne
• Commissioner Wright

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – 777 Graham Rezoning
To: Planning & 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 M-2 Heavy Industrial to CI Commercial Industrial on approximately 2.6
acres of land located at 777 Graham Road. Case # REZ2020-000012 (Note: Final action on this item is
scheduled for the March 11, 2021 City Council meeting - subject to change)
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 2.6 acres of land located near the intersection of
Graham Road and Victoria Avenue from M-2 Heavy Industrial to CI Commercial Industrial. The subject
property was platted and site planned in 2019 for a business park development. This request is in effort
to provide a similar product while offering a wider spectrum of uses.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is designated as Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map. The Business Park land use designation is intended for areas that include
office, research, or industrial uses planned as a unified project. The property is currently zoned M-
2 Heavy Industrial, which is a retired zoning district that allows manufacturing and industrial
activities that generate great amounts of nuisances generally not compatible with residential uses
or lower intensity commercial uses. The proposed zoning is designed for uses that primarily serve
other commercial and industrial enterprises. CI Commerical Industrial permits uses similar to
those allowed in the M-2 zoning district, with the addition of some commercial uses, allowing the
property to be developed consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of
the surrounding area:
The proposed zoning allows for industrial and commercial uses, which is compatible with the
development on adjacent properties. Given the property’s close proximity to multiple existing
industrial uses and a commercial office, the planned business park and any additional commercial
uses would be easily incorporated with the existing developments. While this area was zoned M-2
Heavy Industrial about 30 years ago, it has developed with uses less intense than allowed by
zoning. The CI Commercial Industrial zoning will increase the amount of commercial uses
permitted on the property, which would be comparable with existing adjacent uses and allow it to
be more compatible with the residential uses in the area.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The property has over 270 feet of frontage and takes access to Graham Road, which is an existing
4-lane Major Collector. The proposed zoning is suitable for the more intense land uses that a
Page 13 of 22
major collector can support. The subject property is not in the FEMA floodplain. 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:
Water, sanitary sewer, and fire flow will be served by College Station Utilities. There are existing
water and sanitary sewer lines adjacent to the property. There is sufficient capacity for the
proposed uses.
The subject property is in the Lick Creek drainage basin and drains towards the north. The
property is not encumbered by FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Detention will be
required with site development.
5. The marketability of the property:
The property can be marketed under the current zoning which allows for intense industrial uses.
However, the applicant is proposing to incorporate additional commercial uses. This is anticipated
to increase the marketability of the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
The demand for commercial industrial developments remains high, updating the retired M-2 Heavy Industrial
zoning to CI Commercial Industrial will meet the demands for a more variety of uses.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
The zoning change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan.
How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood?
The current zoning district is M-2 Industrial which is suitable for this property, however this retired district would
be under utilized and would not be used for its highest and best use.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The utility infrastructure is in place to support the requested zoning and the land characteristics such as
vegetation and topography are suitable for the requested zoning.

Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The utility infrastructure is in place to support the requested zoning and the land characteristics such as
vegetation and topography are suitable for the requested zoning.
Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The limited uses allowed in the current zoning district will result in a low number of users for the development
and would not support the development, limiting the marketability of the land.
List any other reasons to support this zone change.
The zoning request will update this property to a current zoning district from a retired zoning district that fits well
with the surrounding properties.
