to add Rental Housing Construction as a Goal and Project and reprogram Commun ity
Development Block Grant funding in the amount of $170,000 and HOME Investment
Partnership Program funding in the amount of $189,623.
Raney Whitwell, Community Development Analyst, stated that staff determined that the addition of
Rental Housing Construction is necessary to continue to produce affordable housing units for low-
and moderate-income residents. Due to the volatility and low supply of affordable real estate in our
local real estate market, adding Rental Housing Construction as a project to t he Annual Action Plan
allows more flexibility and options to non-profit housing partners.
The Substantial Amendment includes:
The addition of Rental Housing - Construction as a project.
Reprograms: $150,369 from HOME Investment Partnership Grant Rental Housing
Rehabilitation, $39,254 from HOME Investment Partnership Grant Down Payment
Assistance, and $170,000 from Community Development Block Grant Rental Housing
Rehabilitation to Rental Housing Construction for a total of $359,623.

one bedroom/one bath rental home located at 700 Pasler St. in College Station. The new rental home

handicap friendly. Once constructed, the home will be rented to a low-income, elderly household.

Housing for approximately 0.35 of an acre being Block 2, Lots 8-R and 9-R of the West
Park Addition, generally located at 611 – 613 Highlands Street.

Matthew Ellis, Planning and Development, stated that this item combines multiple requests from a
single property owner who is applying to rezone multiple lots to MH Middle Housing. The requests
are generally located in four areas across College Station:
Area #1 includes the first four requests along Cooner Street.
Area #2 includes the request to rezone 400 Live Oak Street.
Area #3 includes the request to rezone 400-513 Aurora Court.
Area #4 includes the rest of the requests, which are in the Southside Neighborhood on Par k
Place, Highlands Street, Maryem Street, and Luther Street.
Each of these requests, save for REZ2023-000011 (207 Cooner Street), is part of a larger area that is
being considered for potential City-initiated rezonings to MH Middle Housing. REZ2023-000011 was
not considered because the existing zoning on the property is R-4 multi-Family, a retired multi-family
zoning district. All the requests in Area #1 (Cooner Street area) would have been in Area B of the
City-initiated rezonings, the request in Area #2 (Live Oak) would have been in Area D, the request in
Area #3 (Aurora Court) would have been its own Area J, and the requests in Area #4 (Southside)
would have been part of Area Y. As we have just finished the public engagement process for the city-
initiated rezonings to MH Middle Housing, staff is preparing an upcoming presentation which will
reflect the results of that public engagement and will recommend which areas should move forward
and be rezoned. Proposed City-initiated areas B, D, J, and Y did not receive significant opposition
from the community and each of them aligns with the broader vision in the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 6, 2023 meeting and voted 6-0 to
recommend approval of each area. Staff recommends approval.
At approximately 8:37 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened the Public Hearing.
Charles Elliott, College Station, came before Council to discuss Cooner Street and supporting the
proposed ordinance rezoning the four requests along Cooner Street.
Richard Woodward, College Station, came before Council to ask that the decision Council makes on
middle housing be consistently applied to this area and others.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:48 p.m.

Councilmember Wright, the City Council voted four (4) for and two (2) opposed, with Councilmember

Housing for approximately 1.05 acres being Lots 5-1 to 5-5 of the D.A. Smith Subdivision and

Matthew Ellis, Planning and Development, stated that this request is to rezone approximately 1.05
acres of land being five platted lots generally located at 818-826 Avenue A from GS General Suburban
to MH Middle Housing. The subject properties were platted in 2001 and are currently developed as
single-family houses, constructed in 2002. The applicant intends to redevelop the lots to build
duplexes. Nearby properties include single-family homes, two multi-family complexes, and a large-
scale shopping center.
The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 6, 2023 meeting and recommended
approval, with the conditions outlined by staff. Staff recommends approval of this request conditioned
on the construction of an approved secondary access drive meeting Fire Department standards no less
than 175 feet away from Lincoln Avenue, a 10’ right-of-way dedication from each lot along Avenue
A, and right-of-way chamfers along the lot that abuts Lincoln Avenue. These conditions are necessary
to ensure the safe and effective delivery of services with the increase in potential density.
At approximately 9:50 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened the Public Hearing.
Richard Woodward, College Station, came before Council to state his opinion that many of the homes
in this item would be considered low-income housing and that by rezoning this the properties will be
redeveloped in to more expensive units.
