Regular Agenda
Rezoning – 3105 Corsair Drive
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Derrick Williams, 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 SC Suburban Commercial to PDD Planned Development District for
approximately 5 acres located at 3105 Corsair Drive. Case # REZ2022-000001 (Note: Final action of this
item will be considered at the March 24, 2022 City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request and associated Concept Plan.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 5 acres of land from SC Suburban Commercial to PDD
Planned Development District with a base zoning of SC Suburban Commercial for the development of a
skilled nursing facility at the intersection of Corsair Drive and Emerald Parkway, adjacent to the Emerald
Forest subdivision. SC Suburban Commercial allows for Extended Care Facilities/Convalescent/Nursing
Homes land uses, but a PDD has been requested to allow an adjustment to the existing zoning’s
individual building size limitation as applied to skilled nursing facility uses and to enhance the required
buffer against the neighborhood.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The current Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates the subject
property as Neighborhood Commercial.
The Comprehensive Plan generally describes the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation
as follows:
Neighborhood Commercial – Areas of commercial activities that cater primarily to
nearby residents. These areas tend to be smaller format than general commercial
and located adjacent to major roads along the fringe of residential areas. Design of
these structures is compatible in size, architecture, and lot coverage with
surrounding residential uses.
This PDD proposes a base zoning of SC Suburban Commercial, which is a district that has
taken appropriate land uses and design into consideration. SC Suburban Commercial land
uses are less intense uses, generating less traffic than those found in GC General Commercial
districts. These sites generally provide walkable and pedestrian friendly environments for
both the subject properties and surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed use of a skilled
nursing facility would provide a need in the community without sacrificing neighborhood
integrity and character.
Page 10 of 35
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of
the surrounding area:
The permitted uses of the property are not proposed to the change. PDD Planned Development
District will be based on the SC Suburban Commercial zoning district, which is designed to be
compatible with residential land uses. Given the property’s proximity to existing single-family
uses, the intended use of a skilled nursing facility could be easily incorporated with the existing
developments.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The subject property is not in the FEMA floodplain. There is some natural vegetation onsite,
concentrated mainly in the northeast corner, adjacent to single family lots. While adjacent to a
neighborhood, its only street frontage is to a right-of-way shared with other non-residentially-
zoned properties. 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:
Sanitary sewer service, water service, and fire flow will be provided by College Station Utilities.
Stormwater will be designed according to BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines and will be
collected in an on-site detention pond before being released into an existing storm sewer system
on Driftwood Drive. A traffic impact analysis was performed for the rezoning requested and did
not identify any traffic mitigation needed. The traffic generated by this use will not adversely
affect the safety nor convenience of transportation.
5. The marketability of the property:
The applicant stated that “This property is marketable for uses that do not depend on traffic for
business, such as retail and services. A neighborhood friendly use that does not depend on traffic
numbers is ideal for this property, and we believe a skilled nursing facility meets those criteria.”
The applicant is proposing to consolidate the area into one building for only skilled nursing facility
uses that would generate less traffic than retail uses. This is anticipated to increase the
marketability of the property.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and
parking areas as well as other site related features. 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
Page 11 of 35
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 reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and
land uses in the area.
Purpose, Intent and Community Benefits:
The proposed Planned Development District for this property outlines the purpose, intent, and
community benefit of the proposed development which is to promote and encourage innovative
development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and natural environment.
Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications
At the time of site plan, the project will need to meet all applicable site development standards and
platting requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance for the SC Suburban Commercial zoning
district, except where meritorious modifications are granted with the PDD zoning. The applicant is
requesting the following meritorious modification:
SC Suburban Commercial requirements:
UDO Section 5.3.C. “…The gross floor area of a single structure in this district shall not
exceed 15,000 square feet in area.” Skilled nursing facilities are proposed to be allowed
to consolidate permittable building area into one building exceeding the maximum of 15,000
sf.
Community Benefits: The applicant offers the following as community benefits:
Along with the required buffer, preservation of viable canopy trees along the property line
that abuts Emerald Forest.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request and associated concept plan.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
The 55+ population continues to be the fastest growing population in College Station, therefore the need for
medical facilities to support the aging population will also continue to increase. While the use is appropriate,
the size of the building is the reason we are requesting a PDD. In order to provide this type of use, in the most
efficient manner, we are requesting a change in zoning to PDD Planned Development District.
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 Comprehensive Plan has designated this property for Neighborhood Commercial uses. We have based
the PDD on the SC Suburban Commercial zoning district, which is compatible with the Neighborhood
Commercial land use designation. The request zone change is in compliance 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 property is currently zoned SC Suburban Commercial which is designed to be appropriate for properties
adjacent to neighborhoods. The property is suitable for SC Suburban Commercial.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
We are using SC Suburban Commercial as the base zoning district, which is the existing zoning district.
Because of the adjacency to the neighborhood, the permitted uses in the SC Suburban Commercial zoning
district are suitable for the property at this location.

Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The property is located at corner of two Collector thoroughfares close to State Highway 6 and at the entrance
of an established neighborhood. This property is marketable for uses that do not depend on traffic for
business, such as retail and services. A neighborhood friendly use that does not depend on traffic numbers is
ideal for this property, and we believe a skilled nursing facility meets those criteria.
List any other reasons to support this zone change.

Sustained Stability.
The concept plan meets minimum design standards and offers single-family protection from the development.
Additionally, we are offering to preserve viable trees at the north corner of the site to further buffer some of the
parking from the adjacent residences.
Conformity.
The Comprehensive Plan intended Neighborhood Commercial uses to be compatible with adjacent and
nearby single-family residential neighborhoods both in use and design. While we are asking to consolidate
permittable building area into one building, it is being compensated by developing a low-intensity use that will
not generate high traffic, nor require as many parking spaces as with retail. We believe this use and proposed
layout are in conformity with the policies, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Compatibility with use.
A skilled nursing facility is a low intensity use that will not include adverse activities that will negatively impact
the adjacent residences. A skilled nursing facility, by nature, is a residence and will be very compatible with
the abutting and adjacent developments.
Access to Streets.
This development does not include dwelling units.
Public Improvements.
This development will provide all necessary infrastructure to the site. Sidewalks are available on Emerald
Parkway and Corsair Drive.
Public Health.
The site will include single-family protections and be developed as a use that is very compatible to the
adjacent residences. Additionally, the development will make improvements to drainage from this lot that
currently affects the adjacent residential lots. This development will be a very good neighbor to the Emerald
Forest neighborhood and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious
to properties in the vicinity.
Safety.
This use does not generate heavy amounts of traffic in any form compared to many of the other permitted
uses in the Suburban Commercial zoning district. The traffic generated by this use will not adversely affect the
safety nor convenience of transportation.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – 107 N. Dowling Rd.
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Derrick Williams, 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 GC General Commercial to MF Multi-Family for approximately 7 acres
located at 107 N. Dowling Rd. Case # REZ2021-000013 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered
at the March 24, 2022 City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 7 acres of land located from CG General Commercial
to MF Multi-Family.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject area is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as
Neighborhood Center which consists of residential, commercial, and office spaces. Commercial
zoning will remain in place for the entirety of the Holleman Drive South frontage and a portion
along North Dowling Road. Multifamily will support the commercial area as a second-tier
component to the Neighborhood Center area.
As defined in the Comprehensive Plan, a Neighborhood Center designation is most
appropriate for a mix of uses arranged in a compact and walkable pattern at a smaller scale
than Urban Centers. These areas consist of residential, commercial, and office uses arranged
horizontally in an integrated manner and may be mixed vertically within structures.
Neighborhood Centers should also incorporate consolidated parking facilities, access to
transportation alternatives, open space and recreational facilities, and public uses.
It has been determined that this proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan since the
multi-family project will provide a supporting use for commercial areas.
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 multi-family uses, which is compatible and appropriate for its
proximity to adjacent non-residential properties. Surrounded on both sides by commercial, the
proposed multifamily property is given a unique opportunity to support said use. This fulfills the
intent of the Comprehensive Plan to arrange residential, commercial, and office uses horizontally.

3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The subject property is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district. The size and location of
the subject property is suitable for its intended use. The subject property is not in the FEMA
floodplain.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
Sanitary sewer service, water service, and fire flow will be provided by College Station Utilities.
The subject property is not encumbered by FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. Drainage and all
other infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
5. The marketability of the property:
The proposed multifamily rezoning is anticipated to increase the marketability of the property.
The subject property is adjacent to an existing multi-family development to the south and existing
commercial properties to the north. This site does have a high potential to be marketed as a multi-
family residential development as it is located along Dowling Rd and has close proximity to both
developed and undeveloped commercial land.
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.

multifamily development adjacent to the property.
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 current land use plan for this property is Neighborhood Center.
How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood?
Commercial zoning will remain in place for the portion of the property that fronts Holleman. Multifamily is
suitable for second tier development adjacent to commercial.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
Multifamily is one of the projected zoning's for this area and fits the currently developed conditions surrounding
the property.
