MEMORANDUM
July 15, 2021
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Rachel Lazo – Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Reapplication of Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request
Item:
Presentation, discussion and possible action to allow a Comprehensive Plan amendment application
to be considered for approximately 10 acres located at 1660 Graham Road, within 180 days of a
Comprehensive Plan amendment request being denied.
Background:
In August 2020, a former applicant submitted a petition to amend the Comprehensive Plan’s Future
Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban for a proposed multi-family
development. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive
Plan amendment on October 1, 2020 (3-1) but was denied by the City Council on February 25,
2021 (5-2).
According to Section 3.22.E of the Unified Development Ordinance, if a petition for a plan
amendment is denied by the City Council, another reapplication for reclassification of the same
property shall not be considered within a period of 180 days from the date of denial unless the
Planning and Zoning Commission finds that one of four eligible factors are applicable:
1.There is a substantial change in circumstances relevant to the issues and/or facts considered during review of the
application that might reasonably affect the decision-making body's application of the relevant review standards to the
development proposed in the application;
2.New or additional information is available that was not available at the time of the review that might reasonably
affect the decision-making body's application of the relevant review standards to the development proposed;

3. A new application is proposed to be submitted that is materially different from the prior application (e.g., proposes
new uses or a substantial decrease in proposed densities and intensities); or
4.The final decision on the application was based on a material mistake of fact.
The applicant requests consideration under factor three.
Action:
The Planning & Zoning Commission decides whether or not the information is substantial enough
to reapply for a plan amendment within 180 days.

Regular Agenda
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Treston Rodriguez, Staff Planner
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance
amending the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to
Urban for approximately 10 acres, generally located at 1660 Graham Road. Case #CPA2020-000005
(Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the October 22, 2020 City Council Meeting- Subject
to change.)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map amendment.
Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban on approximately 10 acres located west of
the existing International Leadership of Texas public charter school campus. The subject property and
properties to the north and east are primarily designated as Suburban Commercial on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map, while the properties to the west and south
are General Suburban. This is in preparation for rezoning the property to multi-family to allow for
additional residential options in the area.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property and
properties to the north and east have a future land use designation of Suburban Commercial
with Natural Areas Reserved along Lick Creek. The Suburban Commercial land use designation is
generally for concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents
versus the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be small in size and
located adjacent to major roads (arterials and collectors). The design of structures is intended to
be compatible with surrounding single-family residential neighborhoods. Institutional/Public is
located to the north across Graham Road at the City of College Station’s Public Utilities site. The
property to the northwest across Graham Road is designated as Medical Use with a small
portion of Natural Areas Reserved along Lick Creek. Properties to the west and south have a
General Suburban land use designation and are developed as residential properties within the
Dove Crossing Subdivision.
The subject property is adjacent to both the Medical District Master Plan area and the Spring
Creek District, which is generally the area located along State Highway 6 near the Rock Prairie
Road interchange and the Spring Creek Business Park. This area includes the major medical
centers of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, CHI St. Joseph Health College Station Hospital,
as well as a number of other medical related facilities and a master planned, City-owned
Page 24 of 40
business park. The focus of development in this area should be linking current and future
medical facilities into a cohesive district which incorporates the natural features of Lick Creek
and Spring Creek into the design of the district.
The area near the intersection of Longmire and Graham Road has continued to grow with the
development of the adjacent ILT school to the east and an optometry office. Other uses in this
area include, but not limited to parks, hospitals, commercial retail (banks, hotels, and grocery
stores), public utilities, offices, and single-family residential. These variety of uses support a
variety of housing types, however the area is primarily single-family detached homes.
The Urban designation allows for an intense level of development activities and consists of
townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. An amendment to Urban would lay the
foundation for providing a higher concentration of dwelling units located within walking
distance to a school, grocery store, medical offices, and employment centers, which could
ultimately lead to a more walkable pedestrian friendly neighborhood.
Since the area was annexed in December of 1993, the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map has remained largely unchanged for this part of town.
2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area
concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: The applicant is requesting an amendment
to the Future Land Use and Character Map to Urban. The Urban designation is generally for
areas that should have a very intense level of development activities. These areas will tend to
consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments.
The property has an existing single-family home, and the adjacent property to the east is the
International Leadership of Texas campus located on approximately 14.38 acres. To the south
and west is the Dove Crossing Subdivision with an overall density of 4.23 dwelling units per acre.
North across Graham Road, is approximately 47.43 acres owned by the City of College Station,
some of which hosts the City of College Station’s fleet services and public utilities.
A higher concentration of dwelling units per acre would support the nearby parks, commercial
retail (banks, hotels, and grocery stores), offices, and the city’s medical corridor. Additionally, it
would provide an appropriate transition and step down of the intensity of land uses from the
commercially zoned areas along Rock Prairie and Highway 6, as you would go from medical
facilities to a grocery store, hotel, school, this urban designation which would allow for a future
multi-family development, and then the surrounding single-family detached homes.
3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: While the subject property is located
nearby Lick Creek, there is no FEMA designated floodplain on the property. The applicant has
stated that the subject property “will follow city codes and ordinances and will not have adverse
impacts on the surrounding areas.”
Page 25 of 40
4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network:
This property was assumed as a Suburban Commercial land use within the City’s currently
adopted Water and Wastewater Master Plans. The applicant provided City staff with anticipated
demands for the proposed Urban Future Land Use. These demands were loaded into the City’s
water and wastewater models to determine if adequate capacity exists for the proposed higher
density land use type.
The results of the water distribution model scenario indicate that adequate domestic water
capacity is available. However, the wastewater collection system model output demonstrated
capacity concerns. Any near-term rezoning proposal to an urban intensity use would have to be
carefully considered as further analysis shows significant downstream sanitary sewer system
improvements would be required at the developer’s expense and would include upgrades to an
existing lift station, as well as the upsizing of approximately 3,250 LF of sanitary sewer mains.
However, there is an approved capital project that is expected to be completed within the next
three to four years that will provide the necessary capacity for this higher land use type. The
completion of this City funded CIP would eliminate the need for a developer to provide the
currently identified downstream improvements.
Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. A traffic impact analysis
(TIA) is not required with comprehensive plan amendments; however, the applicant’s
application refers to a TIA being commissioned for an intended future rezoning if applicable.
Both Graham Road and nearby Longmire Drive are constructed to their full cross sections as 2-
lane Major Collectors per the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. The subject property also has two public
streets stubbed to the property; Crystal Dove Avenue to the west and White Dove Trail to the
south.
The proposed Urban amendment could create a higher density land use in an area that has
experienced traffic issues during drop-off and pick-up times of the adjacent ILT school campus to
the east. It is not uncommon however for queueing issues to exist around school sites during
these times. Both Graham Road and Longmire Drive are designated and constructed to their
Major Collector cross sections and a traffic signal was installed at their intersection by ILT. Based
on the trip rate table provided in the UDO, future multi-family development could generate
more trips per acre than the adjacent General Suburban uses (18.6 trips per acre vs. 8 trips per
acre). It has the potential to actually generate fewer trips per acre than a Suburban Commercial
zoning, which could have 40 trips per acre though there is much variability in commercial trip
generation depending upon the end use. These rates are based on national averages and the
actual resulting trip rate will depend upon the specific use developed.
5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The goal for College
Station’s Future Land Use and Character Map is to create a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and
enhanced natural environment. The subject property and surrounding areas to the north and
east are designated as suburban commercial. This designation intends to provide for
Page 26 of 40
concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents. The design of
these structures are compatible in size and design with the surrounding single-family residential
uses.
Staff believes that the Urban designation is appropriate for this property as it would provide a
higher concentration of dwelling units located within walking distance to a school (ILT campus),
grocery store (Kroger), medical offices, and employment centers. The land use change would
support more housing diversity in an area that is largely suburban, and it could provide
professionals who work in the medical corridor more housing options near their places of
employment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
While there are current concerns for wastewater capacity, a Comprehensive Plan amendment, such as
this Future Land Use and Character Map amendment, is a long-range plan for the growth of the city that
works hand-in-hand with our master utility plans. Zoning is the tool to help regulate the timing of actual
development. Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character
Map amendment.

Land Use Plan Amendment
1. What specific element of the Comprehensive Plan (for example, Land Use & Character designation,
Thoroughfare Plan Context Class, or thoroughfare alignment) and at what specific location (if
applicable) is requested to be amended?
Land Use Plan Amendment at 1660 Graham Road
2. Please list the amendment(s) requested.
We request to amend the Land Use Plan from Suburban Commercial to Urban.
3. Please explain the reason for the amendment(s).
We intend to provide a high-end multi-family residential option for young professionals who are
employed in the medical district and other surrounding businesses who do not wish to live in
apartments marketed for students. There is currently no multi-family option in this area who wish to
live close and even within walking distance to these professional industries. This development will
provide a housing option that is needed and lacking in this area.
4. Please explain the changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City.
In recent years, sewer capacity has been a concern for allowing more dense development. The City is
currently planned for improvements to the area wastewater system which would be able to
accommodate a multi-family development. If necessary, the developer is willing to make such
improvements ahead of the City’s schedule. Additionally, increased traffic has been a concern,
especially at the Longmire Drive and Graham Road intersection. A traffic light was installed in July
2018 improving the safety and efficiency of traffic at the intersection.
5. Please show the compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the
immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole.
Multi-family residential at this location would serve as a transition from the single-family residences
to the more intense school and office uses, and is better suited as a 10-acre tract adjacent to a
single-family neighborhood. Ten acres of suburban commercial does not have a “neighborhood
commercial” feel. For comparison, Cinemark, including all of the parking up to the highway, is 9.93
acres. Suburban commercial is better suited for a smaller lot. This multi-family option will not have
the bed/bath parity or other features commonly associated with purpose-built student housing. It is
intended for young professionals, graduate students, and the like.
Additionally, there are a number of land uses in the immediate area that have created a mixed-use
feel. Adding market rate multi-family residences would contribute to the diverse nature of the area
and provide housing for a sector of the market that currently doesn’t exist.
6. Please list any impacts on environmentally sensitive and natural areas.
Page 33 of 40
This property does not have any environmentally sensitive areas. All development will follow City
codes and ordinances and will not have adverse impacts on surrounding areas.
7. List any impacts on infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation
network.
Water is sufficient in this area. Any negative impact to wastewater capacity will be mitigated
through improvements by either the City Capital Improvement Program or by the applicant based
upon timing. Drainage would have no impact because of required compliance with the Unified
Development Ordinance. A traffic impact analysis is being commissioned for the rezoning of this
property. The applicant is willing to make the necessary improvements as directed by the TIA to
comply with the Unified Development Ordinance.
8. Explain consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
Being a part of the Area II: Spring Creek District in the Comprehensive Plan, the plan states that
“districts and corridors exhibit opportunities for a mix of uses with an emphasis on walkability and
the potential for a unique focus.” We believe providing a market rate multifamily housing option
would contribute to the mixed-use and walkable feel of this district and meet the housing needs of
young professionals.

4.REGULAR AGENDA
4.1 Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No.
2021-4241 vacating and abandoning 0.19 acre and 0.58-acre portions of 20-foot wide Public
Utility Easements lying along Lots 1-4, of the Century Hill Development Subdivision, according
to the plat recorded in Volume 7623, Page 231, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas.
Alma Guerra, Planning and Development, stated that the partial Public Utility Easement
abandonments are proposed by the applicant to address site constraints recognized during
redevelopment of the property. The portions of easements subject to abandonment are no longer
necessary, as there is no public infrastructure within either easement. The remainder of the 20-foot
wide Public Utility Easements are adequate to serve all existing public infrastructure.
At approximately 6:56 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 6:56 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Mayor Mooney, the
City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance No. 2021-4241 vacating
and abandoning 0.19 acre and 0.58-acre portions of 20-foot wide Public Utility Easements lying along
Lots 1-4, of the Century Hill Development Subdivision, according to the plat recorded in Volume
7623, Page 231, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas. The motion carried unanimously.
4.2 Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No.
2021-4242 amending the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from
Suburban Commercial to Urban for approximately 10 acres, generally located at 1660 Graham
Road.
Rachel Lazo, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant is requesting an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban on
Page 38 of 40
approximately 10 acres located west of the existing International Leadership of Texas public charter
school campus. This is in preparation for rezoning the property to multi-family to allow for additional
residential options in the area. Mrs. Lazo explained that this amendment is consistent with the goals
and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: Staff believes that the Urban designation is
appropriate for this property as it would provide a higher concentration of dwelling units located
within walking distance to a school (ILT campus), grocery store (Kroger), medical offices, and
employment centers. The land use change would support more housing diversity in an area that is
largely suburban, and it could provide professionals who work in the medical corridor more housing
options near their places of employment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their October 1, 2020 meeting where they
voted 3-1 to recommend approval.
At approximately 7:50 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
Kyle Bryant, College Station, came before council speaking for a group to state that they oppose this
change and proposed development. Among the reasons for opposition, he stated that traffic
congestion would become a larger issue, the lift station is not properly sized for the density, the
homeowners invested in their properties with the current zoning in mind and would suffer a change
of community and loss of privacy for those who live closest to the development. The group he
represents believes that the comprehensive plan should be followed and written.
Linda Lee, College Station, stated that she and her sister are about to purchase a home in Dove
Crossing and she is mostly concerned that young children play are in this area.
Andrew Spellman, College Station, stated that he and his wife concur with Kyle Bryant and the traffic
concerns for this area. Mr. Spellman explained that he has 4 young kids that play in the back yard
which any apartment complex would have visibility into.
Amber Schafntiz-Sherman, College Station, came before Council to express her concerns regarding
the rezoning. She stated her and her family purchased this home because of the area and the perceived
safety which could be compromised with this comp plan amendment.
Jeremiah Baker, College Station, came before Council to express his concerns about the height
restrictions. This proposed property comp plan amendment backs up to his home and the apartment
complex would have a view of his back yard.
Sushil Pauldyal, College Station, stated that he bought his home in this area about a year ago because
of the residential neighborhood and if something like this was in this area, he would have never of
bought this home.
Robert Borham, College Station, stated he just moved into this area from Katy due to a decline in the
residential areas he believes is caused by situations just like this.
Louis Tassinary, College Station, stated that what surprises him is that this is the perfect area for the
current suburban commercial zoning.
Page 39 of 40
Lauren Nescio, College Station, stated that there are three things to think about the lighting, wet land,
and traffic concern. The Charter School is already creating difficult traffic patterns and this will make
that worse.
Vicki Lambert-Rodden, College Station, stated that she is against the proposed rezoning. She stated
that the current zoning is appropriate for the areas and a rezoning would change the character of the
surrounding area. She also believes that the city website could also use improving and is not efficient
at providing information.
Nan Crouse, College Station, came before Council to express her concern on the bringing a multi-
use complex into a residential neighborhood and all the concerns that come along with it: traffic
concern, safety, and land use.
Patrick Donaldson, College Station, stated that he is not in favor of this proposed plan, especially
with the height restrictions.
There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:33 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember
Crompton, the City Council voted five (5) for and two (2) opposed, with Councilmembers Cunha and
Nichols voting against, to deny Ordinance No. 2021-4242 amending the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban for approximately 10 acres,
generally located at 1660 Graham Road. The motion carried.
4.3 Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Resolution No. 02-25-21-4.3
determining that an easement containing 0.0761 acres of land, and a temporary construction
easement containing 0.0799 acres is needed to be acquired from Tortuga 3209, a Texas Joint
Venture, for the construction, operation, maintenance, inspection, replacement, and removal
of one or more public utility lines and other public infrastructure as part of State Highway 6
waterline, phase 3 project for the City of College Station, Texas; and authorizing the institution
of eminent domain proceedings.
Emily Fisher, Assistant Director Capital Projects, stated that the city staff has negotiated the purchase
or dedication of easements from 17 of the 20 parcels needed for the State Highway 6 Waterline, Phase
3 project. The project will install an 18-inch and 20-inch waterline along the SH 6 frontage road to
just north of Woodcreek Drive to north of Emerald Plaza. This resolution authorizes eminent domain
proceedings for the needed public utility easement and temporary construction easement from one of
the remaining three parcels, owned by Tortuga 3209.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Crompton, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, that the City of College Station
approve Resolution No. 02-25-21-4.3 authorizing the use of the power of eminent domain to acquire
property belonging to Tortuga 3209 described in the resolution for public utility and public
infrastructure purposes. The motion carried unanimously.
