Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Corner of
Wellborn Road and
University Drive
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Robin Macias, 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 boundary from NG-1 Core Northgate and C-U College and University to NG-1 Core
Northgate for approximately 0.288 acres generally located east of the intersection of Wellborn Road
and University Drive. Case # REZ2021-000010 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the
January 27, 2022 City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 0.288 acres of undeveloped land generally located
east of the intersection of Wellborn Road and University Drive from NG-1 Core Northgate and C-U
College and University to NG-1 Core Northgate. The property was previously TXDOT right-of-way which
has been abandoned. It is now in private ownership and will be developed with the adjacent property.
This zoning request is to allow for the development of the abandoned right-of-way.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject tract is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map
as Urban Center and on the Planning Areas Map as the Norgate District and a redevelopment
area. The Comprehensive Plan states that the Urban Center designation is suitable for intense
development with a mixture of commercial, multi-family and office uses. The proposed zoning
permits commercial, multi-family and mixed-use development which is compatible 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 existing C-U College and University zoning is not compatible with the development of the
surrounding area. The surrounding area is designated as The Northgate District. The proposed
zoning uses would be compatible with the surrounding area as it would allow for the same
developments as the surrounding properties as an extension of the Northgate District.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The size and location of the subject property is suitable for commercial development. The site has
adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards for the NG-1 Core Northgate zoning
district. The property owner also owns the adjacent smaller tracts which can be included with this
area to make a more sizeable and developable property. Since the property is no longer owned by
the State, the desire is to rezone it to a developable use in conjunction with the district.
Page 13 of 23
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
Domestic water and fire flow service for this tract will be provided by the City of College Station via
extending an existing 8” waterline. Wastewater service for this tract will be provided by the City of
College Station by an 8” sanitary sewer line. Water and sewer capacity for development of the tract
is currently available, determination of any needed improvements will come with future
development once the applicant has an idea of an end user. Detention is required in accordance
with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Drainage and any other infrastructure required with the
site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines.
The subject property fronts onto University Drive and the off ramp towards Wellborn Road. Access
to these roads is control by TxDOT, but driveway locations to either of these roads would not meet
spacing requirements or TxDOT standards. Patricia Street has existing ROW that fronts this tract.
Development of this tract will take access to Patricia Street. No TIA was performed for this rezoning
request as a TIA is not required in the Northgate District.
5. The marketability of the property:
There is little marketability for the property under the current zoning. The proposed zoning allows
for commercial, mixed-use, or multi-family development which is compatible with the surrounding
area making the property more marketable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
The access ramp from University to Welborn Hwy was changed and the TXDOT property was sold to the
adjacent land owner. Most of the tract is zoned NG-1 but the property that was once roadway was zoned C-U.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
This rezoning is compatible 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?
This property is suitable to be developed within the NG-1 zone guidelines.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
This land is actually part of NG-1 but was zoned as C-U because the C-U designation covered the adjacent
streets to the A&M campus. Now that the street has been moved, this land should be in NG-1. The University
does not own this land so the C-U zoning does not apply.

Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
This land is actually part of NG-1 but was zoned as C-U because the C-U designation covered the adjacent

does not own this land so the C-U zoning does not apply.
Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
This land is suitable for multiple used within the NG-1 criteria.
List any other reasons to support this zone change.
Since the University does not own this land it should not be zoned C-U.
