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 M-1 Light Industrial to GC General Commercial for
approximately 5 acres of land, generally located at State Highway 6 S and Venture Drive. Case
#REZ2023-000006 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the April 27, 2023 City
Council Meeting - Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request as it is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 5 acres of land, generally located at State
Highway 6 S and Venture drive. The subject property is part of the College Station Business Center
and is currently undeveloped. The intent of the rezoning is to provide large office spaces which
include uses not allowed within the current zoning district, for example, medical clinics and banks
with drive-thru facilities.
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
General Commercial. For the General Commercial land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the
following:
Concentrated areas of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents and the larger
community or region. These areas tend to be large and located along regionally significant roads.
The intent of the district is to:
• Concentrate future commercial at major intersections
• Encourage shared surface parking
• Accommodate a wide range of commercial uses
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land use include: general commercial,
office, and mixed-use zoning.
The property has frontage on Highway 6 and is located at an intersection with a thoroughfare. The
proposed GC General Commercial zoning allows for commercial developments that are in line with
the intent of the General Commercial land use designation. The proposal is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Page 18 of 63
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of
the surrounding area:
The surrounding area consists of undeveloped property to the north across Venture Drive, an office
building to the east, floodplain to the south and State Highway 6 S to the west. The proposed zoning
of GC General Commercial would be compatible with the surrounding area as it is along a highway
and would allow for the same type of development as the surrounding area.
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 a commercial development. The site has
adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards as set forth in the Unified Development
Ordinance.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
The existing water and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this
development. 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 maintains frontage along State Highway 6 South and Venture Drive. The lot will take access
off Venture Drive which is a 2-lane major collector. The proposed use is expected to generate less
than 150 trips in any peak hour; therefore, a TIA was not required.
5. The marketability of the property:
The uses allowed by the proposed zoning district are marketable in the area. Rezoning the property
to GC General Commercial will make the property more marketable in the future for commercial
development.

COLLEGE STATION CITY OF
List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. As College Station has grown south along SH 6, there has been an increase in demand for office space. Today, the submarket is home to many small office users (1,000 - 5,000 SF) and a few larger corporate campus-type users (10,000 SF+). There is increasing demand for larger office and professional space in the submarket. This
project is meant to partially satisfy that demand.
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 requested change is in accordance with the Comp Plan designation of GC General Commercial and with the College Station Business Park restrictions and their intent.
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 allows for Office use, but also allows for multiple light industrial uses which are not likely the highest and best uses of this tract.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The property is suited well for the proposed rezoning given the location, current zoning shortcomings, Comp Plan designation and the College Station Business Park goals.

Reviewed By CBC: N/A
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an
ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Business
Center to Neighborhood Commercial for approximately 2.611 acres of land, generally located at 100-
170 Graham Road. Case #CPA2022-000011 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the
May 15, 2023 City Council Meeting- Subject to change)
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse and Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use &
Character Map amendment.
Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
& Character Map from Business Center to Neighborhood Commercial for approximately 2.611 acres
of land, generally located on Graham Road at its intersection with Wellborn Road. This
Comprehensive Plan Amendment is in conjunction with two SC Suburban Commercial rezonings for
the property. It is the applicant’s intent to extend the existing Prodigy Learning Center Daycare as a
commercial development in this space.
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
Business Center. The Business Center land use designation primarily includes office, research, or
industrial uses that may be planned and developed as a unified project. The development types of
this designation tend to be larger buildings with commercial and service uses. The intent of the
Business Center land use is to provide a variety of commercial uses while accommodating a mix of
mobility and connectivity to the business centers and providing buffering to adjacent residential
areas.
The area along Graham was originally planned and zoned for industrial, but several properties
developed as offices or remained undeveloped. Prior to the 10-year update of the Comprehensive
Plan, as residential uses developed in the area of Graham Road, small scale commercial was
deemed appropriate at the periphery of the neighborhood along the thoroughfare, and the area was
designated Suburban Commercial (the pre-10-year update equivalent of Neighborhood
Commercial).
Neighborhood Commercial is defined as areas of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby
residents. The subject property is adjacent to a duplex neighborhood and other residential
developments in the area. One of the subject lots was zoned SC Suburban Commercial in 2016,
which allowed for the development of the Prodigy Learning Center daycare. Other existing zonings
on the property include C-3 Light Commercial, which is consistent with Neighborhood Commercial,
Page 29 of 63
and M-2 Heavy Industrial. With plans to expand the daycare, the request is to amend the Future
Land Use and Character Map to Neighborhood Commercial and rezone the properties not already
zoned SC Suburban Commercial to SC Suburban Commercial.
Business Center and Neighborhood Commercial are both appropriate land use designations for the
subject property.
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 & Character Map to
Neighborhood Commercial. Neighborhood Commercial areas are intended to accommodate limited
commercial services that are more appropriate in size and scale to adjacent residential properties
that also provide buffering as required within the zoning districts that are appropriate within the
Neighborhood Commercial category, such as O Office and SC Suburban Commercial.
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 8, 2023. All property owners within 200 feet of
the subject property were notified of the neighborhood meeting. Two property owners attended and
expressed concern about the drainage on the sites. There have been no other expressed concerns
regarding extending the uses onto these additional lots. The proposed development will provide a
compatible commercial use adjacent to the surrounding existing residential duplex developments and
existing daycare commercial development. The proposal is compatible with the character of the
area.
3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:
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.”
4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation
network:
Water, wastewater, and fire flow service will be provided by College Station Utilities. Detention is
required for future development and would be addressed with the site plan. Drainage and all other
infrastructure required for site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the
B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject property fronts Graham Road. Graham Road is designated as a major collector. These
lots are located at the intersection of Graham Road and Wellborn Road, which is designated as a 6-
Lane Major Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. Development of the property will have shared access
with the existing Prodigy Learning Center development and should not cause additional traffic
concerns.
5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan:
The intent of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan is to create distinctive places, vibrant districts,
attractive neighborhoods, revitalized gateways and corridors, and conserved natural areas. The
proposed amendment to Neighborhood Commercial, defined as areas of commercial activities that
Page 30 of 63
tend to be smaller in scale than general commercial developments and are located adjacent to major
roads along the fringe of residential areas, is appropriate for this property as a transition between the
neighboring commercial properties and the surrounding homes.

changing the zoning district boundary from C-3 Light Commercial to SC Suburban Commercial for
approximately 1.667 acres of land at 100 Graham Road, being Lot 4A-1, and 140 Graham Road
being lot 4-B, Block 1 of the JHW Commercial Addition Phase 2, generally located at the corner of
Wellborn Road and Graham Road. Case #REZ2022-000026 (Note: Final action of this item will be
considered at the May 15, 2023 City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse and Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the request.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 1.667 acres of land from C-3 Light Commercial to
SC Suburban Commercial. The subject properties were platted in 2020. The two subject lots are
currently being used as a daycare facility (Prodigy Learning Center) and it is the applicant’s intent to
expand the use. Nearby properties include duplexes, a vacant light manufacturing warehouse, office
space, and a daycare.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA:
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject properties are designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character
Map as Business Center. This rezoning request is accompanied by a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment application to change the land use designation from Business Center to Neighborhood
Commercial. If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved, the rezoning request will align
with the Comprehensive Plan. (CPA2022-000011).
For the Neighborhood Commercial land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following:
Areas of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents. These areas tend to be
smaller format than general commercial and are located adjacent to major roads along the fringe of
residential areas. The design of these structures is compatible in size, architecture, and lot coverage
with surrounding residential uses.
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land use include Suburban Commercial
and Office.
The intent of the Neighborhood Commercial land use is to accommodate the pattern of smaller
commercial spaces that supports the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed SC Suburban
Commercial zoning district allows for smaller-scale commercial developments which are in line with
the Comprehensive Plan. Commercial developments in this district should provide an appearance
Page 40 of 63
that is compatible with the neighborhood character while providing transitions in building height and
mass when adjacent to residential neighborhoods. The development standards for SC Suburban
Commercial are aligned with that vision.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
context of the surrounding area:
The subject property is surrounded by vacant industrial/commercial to the north, Wellborn Road (a
major arterial) to the west, a daycare to the east, and residential duplexes to the south. While there
are some industrial uses in this block of Graham Road, this property, which is almost half of the block
face that abuts the duplexes, and is already zoned and developed for lighter commercial uses. The
C-3 Light Commercial zoning is a retired zoning district. The uses allowed within the proposed
zoning district are appropriate in the context of the surrounding area as they would allow for the
continuation of smaller-scale commercial developments near the intersection and against the
duplexes.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The size and location of the subject properties are suitable for commercial development such as
educational facilities, daycares, and offices permitted by the SC Suburban Commercial District.
4. Whether there are available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
The existing water and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this
development. 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 and takes shared driveway access off Graham Road, a major collector. Wellborn
Road, a major arterial, runs to the west of the property. The proposed use is expected to generate
less than 150 trips in any peak hour; therefore, a TIA was not required.
5. The marketability of the property:
The uses allowed by the proposed zoning district are generally marketable for the area. The
applicant has indicated that with the existing developed conditions around this property, the market
price of the land exceeds the allowed uses of the property and therefore is not marketable without a
rezoning.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
This is a growing area of College Station that is very attractive to residential buyers. As a result, commercial
development along Wellborn Road is expanding in order to provide needed services to the residential
neighborhoods. Most of this property is currently developed as a Day Care Center that is wanting to expand.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
A Comp Plan Amendment is also submitted with this rezoning to change the land use designation from Business
Center to Neighborhood Commercial.
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 not suitable for development under the current zoning which allows for large, heavy industrial
type developments. The lots in this block are too small for this type of development and are not compatible with
the existing day care facilities. In addition, expansion or re-development of the property cannot occur without the
rezoning.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
As noted above, this rezoning will update and remove the discontinued zoning districts currently in place while
allowing for the expansion of the existing day care center facilities.

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 M-2 Heavy Commerical to SC Suburban Commerical for
approximately 0.472 acres of land at 170 Graham Road, being Lot 2, Block 1 of the JHW Commerical
Addition, generally located at the corner of Wellborn Road and Graham Road. Case #REZ2022-
000027 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the May 15, 2023 City Council Meeting –
Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse and Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the request.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 0.472 acres of land from M-2 Heavy Commercial
to SC Suburban Commercial. The subject property was platted in 2020 and is currently undeveloped.
It is the applicant’s intent to continue the existing adjacent use, and expand the daycare facilities onto
the subject property. Nearby properties include duplexes, vacant light manufacturing, warehouse,
office space, and a daycare.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map as
Business Center. This rezoning request is accompanied by a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
application to change the land use designation from Business Center to Neighborhood
Commercial. If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved, the rezoning request will align
with the Comprehensive Plan. (CPA2022-000011).
For the Neighborhood Commercial land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following:
Areas of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents. These areas tend to be
smaller format than general commercial and are located adjacent to major roads along the fringe of
residential areas. The design of these structures is compatible in size, architecture, and lot coverage
with surrounding residential uses. The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land
use include Suburban Commercial and Office.
The intent of the Neighborhood Commercial land use is to accommodate the pattern of smaller
commercial spaces that supports the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed SC Suburban
Commercial zoning district allows for smaller-scale commercial developments which are in line with
the Comprehensive Plan. Commercial developments in this district should provide an appearance
that is compatible with the neighborhood character while providing transitions in building height and
mass when adjacent to residential neighborhoods. The development standards for SC Suburban
Page 51 of 63
Commercial are aligned with that vision.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
context of the surrounding area:
The subject property is surrounded by vacant industrial/commercial to the north, an undeveloped lot
to the east, a daycare to the west, and duplexes to the south. While there are some industrial uses in
this block of Graham Road, this lot, in combination with the adjacent properties to the west,
constitutes over half of the block face that abuts the duplexes. The western adjacent properties are
already zoned and developed for lighter commercial uses. The proposed SC Suburban Commercial
zoning would allow the continuation of smaller-scale commercial developments up the block from the
Wellborn Road/Graham Road intersection and against the duplexes.
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, such as
educational facilities, daycares, and offices permitted by the SC Suburban Commercial 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:
The existing water and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this
development. 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 and takes shared driveway access off Graham Road, a Major Collector. The
proposed use is expected to generate less than 150 trips in any peak hour; therefore, a TIA was not
required.
5. The marketability of the property:
The uses allowed by the proposed zoning district are generally marketable for the area. The
applicant has indicated that with the existing developed conditions around this property, the market
price of the land exceeds the allowed uses of the property and therefore is not marketable without a
rezoning.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
This is a growing area of College Station that is very attractive to residential buyers. As a result, commercial
development along Wellborn Road is expanding in order to provide needed services to the residential
neighborhoods. Most of this property is currently developed as a Day Care Center that is wanting to expand.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
A Comp Plan Amendment is also submitted with this rezoning to change the land use designation from Business
Center to Neighborhood Commercial.
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 not suitable for development under the current zoning which allows for large, heavy industrial
type developments. The lots in this block are too small for this type of development and are not compatible with
the existing day care facilities. In addition, expansion or re-development of the property cannot occur without the
rezoning.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
As noted above, this rezoning will update and remove the discontinued zoning districts currently in place while
allowing for the expansion of the existing day care center facilities.

Wellborn District Plan Update
Sponsor: Naomi Sing
Reviewed By CBC: Planning & Zoning Commission
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the Wellborn District Plan Update.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Good Governance
• Core Services & Infrastructure
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): To receive the presentation and provide direction to staff.
Summary: Staff will provide an update on the Wellborn District Plan Update, an important priority
project from the FY23 PDS Plan of Work that is underway. This item comes from Comprehensive
Plan Action 3.8 to evaluate the relevancy of neighborhood and small area plans that are beyond their
planning horizon. The current Wellborn Community Plan, which was adopted in 2013, will reach the
end of its planning horizon this year. Currently through Phase 2, this planning effort has engaged
property owners and interested residents in a process to envision the future of their community and
what they would like to preserve or change.
Staff have engaged a wide audience throughout the community thus far. This included holding two
working group meetings, three area-wide meetings, and a virtual area-wide meeting, as well as
launching a virtual engagement website to gather additional feedback. Participants have the
opportunity to submit feedback on a map survey where they can leave location-specific comments,
as well as submit surveys directly giving feedback to staff on the plan's goal language. Additionally,
staff is directly engaging with residents, property owners, and representatives from the Texas
Department of Transportation on future projects in the planning area. Staff also continues to
coordinate internally to ensure the plan’s development meets the needs of all departments and
maintains the City’s excellent services.
Staff will be seeking direction on the proposed goal language, the proposed planning boundary, and
potential action items that help to implement the proposed goals.
