Development Ordinance Section 8.4.C.8.a, ‘Geometric Standards, Street Design Criteria’ and presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a Preliminary Plan for College Station West Subdivision on approximately 41.8 acres of land, generally located northeast of the intersection of Jones Road and Raymond Stotzer Parkway. Case #PP2022-000015
Senior Planner Howell presented the waiver requests and preliminary plan to the Commission recommending approval. Chairperson Christiansen asked for staff’s recommendation on this subdivision if it were
inside the City of College Station city limits.
Senior Planner Howell stated that staff would recommend approval as this would be more closely aligned with the BCS Unified Design Guideline Standards as it relates to urban requirements, however, block length requirements would be narrower within the city
limits.
Chairperson Christiansen asked if staff is recommending approval on the waivers to align with Brazos County’s recommendation, or would the recommendation be the same for a subdivision within the city limits.
Senior Planner Howell clarified that because this subdivision is in the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) it does require meeting the 70-foot of right-of-way width compared to to the City of College Station’s requirement of 50 feet.
Commissioner Mirza asked if staff has received any comments or feedback from the
neighbors. Senior Planner Howell clarified that notification for this preliminary plan was not required as the subdivision is in the ETJ and is not zoned for residential. Adjacent property owners
were not notified.
Commissioner Cornelius asked if this preliminary plan is bringing the subdivision more in line as if it were within the City of College Station city limits.
Senior Planner Howell confirmed that the plan is aligning the cross sections on those streets
adjacent to the multi-family lots. Commissioner Chaloupka asked if this subdivision falls in line with the adjacent areas.
Senior Planner Howell stated that the adjacent properties to the south have been
subdivided and have already provided right-of way, however, the properties to the north
Page 5 of 31
May 18, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 9
would be required to provide right-of way width similar to this subdivision when they develop.
Lexie England, Applicant, Kimley-Horn, was available to present to the Commission clarifying that these street sections will be privately maintained. Aaron Levy, Developer, was available to answer questions from the Commission stating
that outreach to the neighbors will occur throughout the development process.
Commissioner Mirza asked for the square footage of the micro homes. Aaron Levy clarified that the homes are comparative in scale to a multi-family apartment
dwelling, ranging at about 500-950 square feet as one, two, and three bedroom detached
units. Commissioner Cornelius motioned to approve the waiver requests and Preliminary Plan, Commissioner Mirza seconded the motion, the motion passed 6-0.
5.2 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 GS General Suburban to MH
Middle Housing for approximately 0.4 acres of land at 1100 Dexter Drive South. Case
#REZ2023-000007 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the June 12, 2023 City Council Meeting – Subject to change). Senior Planner Howell presented the rezoning to the Commission recommending
approval.
Chairperson Christiansen asked for the number of bedrooms that could be developed on this property.
Senior Planner Howell clarified that the development could have nine units dependent upon
subdivision and permitted uses. Commissioner Collins stated that this area falls outside of the areas identified for City- initiated rezoning to MH Middle Housing and is not designated as middle housing on the
future land use plan, asking why staff is recommending approval.
Senior Planner Howell stated that based on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map, this area is designated as Mixed Residential and that MH Middle Housing is an appropriate zoning district.
Commissioner Cornelius stated that a MH Middle Housing zoning district will not match any current surrounding zoning.
Page 6 of 31
May 18, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 9
Senior Planner Howell confirmed that MH Middle Housing will not match any current adjacent zoning districts of GS General Suburban or PDD Planned Development District.
Commissioner Cornelius stated that the zoning change to MH Middle Housing will not match adjacent properties, and asked why staff is recommending approval. Senior Planner Howell clarified that looking at the future land use, the designation is
Mixed Residential, so MH Middle Housing is identified as an appropriate use. Mr. Howell
further stated that there are similar uses permitted in the area. Director Ostrowski confirmed that this property was not included in city-initiated rezonings, stating that there is the ability for applicants to request individual properties to
be reviewed accordingly. Mr. Ostrowski also stated that given this property’s location on
the corner, location to additional residential types, location on a highly traveled corridor, Holleman Drive, and commercial development on the adjacent corner, it provided a good transition into the other locations. Given this, MH Middle Housing was appropriate from a zoning perspective.
Commissioner White asked for the use on the property to the south. Senior Planner Howell clarified that the property to the south are the Campus Park Phase I townhomes.
Commissioner White asked if the City has seen many one-off zoning situations. Senior Planner Howell stated that with the new MH Middle Housing zoning district, there have been requests for individual lots to be rezoned in lieu of larger swaths.
Commissioner White asked if staff is taking into consideration the concerns of the neighborhood. Senior Planner Howell stated that staff received many contacts in opposition of the
rezoning after the staff report was generated.
Commissioner Cornelius asked for clarification that the previous MH Middle Housing zonings presented to the Commission were already in proposed city-initiated areas.
Senior Planner Howell stated that previous requests were excluded from city-initiated areas
because developers had already pursued rezoning. Commissioner Chaloupka asked for the timeline on the city-initiated rezonings.
Director Ostrowski stated that city-initiated rezonings will be presented to the Commission
and the City Council in phases, with the engagement phase in June, and the approval process in late summer or early fall of 2023.
Page 7 of 31
May 18, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 9
Chairperson Christiansen asked for clarification that the previous MH Middle Housing zonings presented to the Commission, were already in a proposed city-initiated area.
Director Ostrowski clarified that the previously presented MH Middle Housing rezoning cases were in areas that would have been identified as city-initiated, in the middle of a single-family development.
Commissioner Collins asked if every other house surrounding this lot could choose to be
rezoned to MH Middle Housing. Senior Planner Howell stated that each request would be reviewed to determine if each application met the standards.
Director Ostrowski stated that the rezoning approvals would be up to the Commission and the City Council. Mr. Ostrowski further stated that staff supports this rezoning to MH Middle Housing because of its location on a corner adjacent to a highly traveled thoroughfare.
Commissioner Cornelius asked if staff would recommend approval for each of the other three adjacent corners. Director Ostrowski stated regarding the other three corners that the land use is different on
the properties across Holleman Drive and that the property across Dexter Drive is
predominantly surrounded by single-family homes. Staff would likely not be supportive of a rezoning change to MH Middle Housing on the adjacent lots. Commissioner White asked for clarification that the city-initiated review committee
did not recommend this area for a city-initiated rezoning.
Senior Planner Howell confirmed that this area was excluded from the city-initiated rezonings.
Commissioner Collins asked about the intention of the future land use designation of
Neighborhood Conservation on the adjacent property across Holleman Drive. Senior Planner Howell stated that Neighborhood Conservation is intended to preserve the neighborhood character of the established neighborhood.
Commissioner Collins asked if MH Middle Housing was proposed to abut Neighborhood Conservation areas. Senior Planner Howell was unsure if this was a topic of discussion within the working
group.
Page 8 of 31
May 18, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 9
Commissioner Collins asked what the MH Middle Housing zoning district was intended to abut.
Senior Planner Howell stated that the MH Middle Housing zoning district was intended to be a transition of residential development. Commissioner Collins asked if MH Middle Housing was designated with the intention that
it could abut a Neighborhood Conservation area.
Senior Planner Howell stated that the rezoning would require certain provisions. Director Ostrowski stated that a Mixed Residential land use could abut Neighborhood
Conservation as it allows for transition between two different zones.
Daniel Beamon, Applicant, Beamon Engineering, presented to the Commission and was available for questions.
Chairperson Christiansen stated that the property owner bought the property before the MH
Middle Housing zoning district was created and asked for the developer’s thoughts on developing when purchased. Daniel Beamon stated that the property owner initially planned to plat for two single-
family homes and then rent.
Commissioner Collins asked for the bedroom count of the two single-family homes, stating that the property owner was intending on creating two high-density single-family homes.
Daniel Beamon stated that two high-density single-family homes was not the intent of the
property owner. Commissioner Collins asked if it would be profitable to build two single-family rental homes on the property.
Daniel Beamon stated that it would not be profitable. Commissioner Cornelius requested clarification on the number of units to be built on the property.
Daniel Beamon stated that a unit count will be determined at platting. Chairperson Christiansen opened the public hearing.
Leslie Hicks, South Knoll, College Station, spoke in opposition to the rezoning citing
concerns for the preservation of the existing larger lots, safety, increased traffic, flooding,
Page 9 of 31
May 18, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 9
reduced greenspace, and that the rezoning will be in direct opposition to the South Knoll Neighborhood Plan.
Lloyd Davis, Pebble Creek, College Station, spoke in opposition to the rezoning citing concerns for spot zoning, lack of planning, and long-term implications. Tina Evans, The Knoll, College Station, spoke in opposition to the rezoning citing concerns
for one-off zonings, flooding, safety, and the property being highly inappropriate for
middle housing. Fred Dupriest, College Park, College Station, spoke in opposition to the rezoning citing concerns for rapid displacement of affordable housing.
Laurie Smith, College Park, College Station, spoke in opposition to the rezoning citing concerns for the neighborhood conservation of a family friendly neighborhood. Chairperson Christiansen closed the public hearing.
Director Ostrowski stated that there was some discussion relating to what is intended to be built on the property, clarifying that any use allowed in a MH Middle Housing zoning district could be allowed on the lot if it was rezoned.
Commissioner Collins expressed concerns with property being acquired with an intended
use that was not consistent with the appropriate use of the property. Commissioner Chaloupka expressed concerns that a MH Middle Housing zoning is not appropriate for this property and will not support the rezoning.
Commissioner Cornelius expressed concerns with a MH Middle Housing zoning not conforming to the existing area. Commissioner White asked if the South Knoll Neighborhood plan is still in effect.
Leslie Hicks explained the adoption process and intent of the South Knoll Neighborhood Plan. Senior Planner Howell clarified that the South Knoll Neighborhood plan was retired in
October 2022.
Commissioner White expressed concerns for the rezoning creating a domino effect. Commissioner Mirza expressed concerns for the rezoning citing concerns with the property
being surrounded by single-family homes.
Page 10 of 31
May 18, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 8 of 9
Chairperson Christiansen expressed support for the MH Middle Housing zoning district concept but expressed concerns for the property being surrounded by single-family
housing. Mr. Christiansen also asked that staff bring the city-initiated rezonings before the

Item No. 5.1.
Lot-by-Lot Grading Requirements
Sponsor: Anthony Armstrong
Reviewed By CBC: Planning & Zoning Commission
Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an
ordinance amending Appendix A, "Unified Development Ordinance," Article 7, "General Development
Standards," Section 7.14, "Drainage and Stormwater Management" and adding Section 7.15, "Lot
Grading and Drainage for Individual Lots" of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station,
Texas regarding lot grading for residential property. Case #ORDA2023-000002 (Note: Final action of
this item will be considered at the June 12, 2023 City Council Meeting - Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Good Governance
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to provide standards and enforcement for lot
grading on either existing or new individually-platted residential lots. As properties in the city go
through redevelopment, or even the final development of the last lots in an area, there have been
grading concerns created from the new home to the surrounding existing homes. Proper grading of a
lot is necessary to promote the health, safety, and welfare of citizens and minimize the impact of
drainage or flooding to adjoining properties. This amendment will establish residential lot grading
requirements and require compliance with any master grading plan for a larger subdivision.
Background: During discussions regarding the impervious cover ordinance approved in March of
2020, the issue of grading on a property as it relates to drainage was discussed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the City Council. Lot-by-lot grading was discussed with City Council at their
workshop on August 25, 2022. Staff held a Building and Development Breakfast discussion on the
topic on October 13, 2022, and discussed proposed amendment redlines at the Building and
Development Breakfast on March 23, 2023. The redlines were updated based on discussions at that
meeting. A copy of the attached redlines were sent out to the development community on April 24,
2023 and no comments were received on the proposal.

CIty-Initiated MH Middle Housing Rezonings Timeline
Sponsor: Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planner
Reviewed By CBC: Planning & Zoning Commission
Agenda Caption:Presentation and discussion regarding the timeline of City-initiated MH Middle
Housing rezonings.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Recommendation(s): To receive the presentation.
Summary: The City of College Station is considering changing the zoning classification of some
residential properties to the new MH Middle Housing zoning district. Planning & Development
Services staff will provide an overview of the project timeline and the areas that are included in the
current phase, which are likely to come before the Commission during fall 2023.
Staff have mailed over 1,200 notification letters to properties that are included within the rezoning
boundaries and another 1,000 letters to nearby property owners who would be included in the 200-
foot boundary notifications for the formal rezoning cases. This is for the current phase of the MH
Middle Housing rezoning process. Additional properties in future phases will follow, after further
analysis or survey work is completed on those properties.
Staff have created an interactive virtual engagement website and will host two virtual-only Zoom
meetings and one in-person workshop throughout June to help residents learn more about this
process and address questions or concerns. Each meeting is identical and will include a brief
presentation followed by an open house where residents can speak with the staff project manager for
each area to learn more, ask questions, and express concerns or support. Full details are available at
cstx.gov/middlehousing.
