Item No. 5.1.
Midtown PDD Rezoning
Sponsor: Jesse Dimeolo
Reviewed By CBC: Parks & Recreation Board
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 R Rural to PDD Planned to Development District for
approximately 19 acres located southeast of the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Calaveras
Court. Case #REZ2023-000076 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the May 9, 2024
City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend
support of the proposed parkland dedication at their meeting on April 9, 2024. Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning request.
Summary: This project can be summarized into three main components.
1. Design of a residential subdivision expansion to the existing Midtown Reserve development
2. Building a multi-use path according to Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan
3. Dedicating parkland
The subject property, around 19 acres, was acquired by the Midtown Reserve Subdivision developer
in November 2022 and has not yet been added to the preliminary plan. A revised preliminary plan will
be applied for upon approval of this current rezoning request. The design and subdivision of the land
into lots for single-family residential development is shown in the attached Concept Plan and further
detailed in the modifications section. Two future streets and one future alley will be built on the
property to provide access to the new residential lots. The future alley specifically provides rear-
parked cottage green structures that front the adjacent Southeast Park.
An adjacent multi-use path in Phase 109 is stubbed to this tract and is proposed to continue through
and be built in accordance with the route established in the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways
(BPG) Master Plan. This is an important segment as the trail continues to extend southward towards
the greater Lick Creek Trail system. The developer proposes to construct more than the required
length of path in order to fulfill the connection to the Lick Creek system. According to the BPG Master
Plan, the developer is only required to continue the alignment diagonally across the tract and stub to
the Southeast Park; but the extension is offered as a community benefit that will help balance the
modifications they are requesting with the PDD rezoning. This additional length of pathway, around
850 feet will be constructed on City parkland and will be generally located along the shared property
line, as determined through the platting process.
The applicant is also requesting that the area through which the multi-use path traverses be
dedicated as City parkland. Originally, this area was designed as a common area for the Midtown
subdivision but is now being proposed to be City parkland. This proposed land dedication will be
Page 10 of 95
contiguous to the land already owned by the City in the future Southeast Park. As shown on the
Parkland Exhibit on page 9 of the attached Applicant's Supporting Information Pt. 2, 2.23 acres from
the adjacent Phase 109 and 3.08 acres from the subject tract are proposed to be dedicated. As this
request (the subject tract and Phase 109 combined) proposes parkland dedication of more than five
acres, it was required to go before the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for their
recommendation. The Parks Board heard this proposal at their meeting on April 9 and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the dedication.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates the subject property as
Mixed Residential and Natural and Open Areas. The Comprehensive Plan generally describes the
land uses as follows:
Mixed Residential - areas appropriate for a mix of moderate density residential development
including, townhomes, duplexes, small multifamily buildings (3-12 unit), and limited small-lot single
family. These areas are appropriate for residential infill and redevelopment that allows original
character to evolve. These areas may serve as buffers between more intense multi-family
residential or mixed-use development and suburban residential or neighborhood conservation
areas.
Natural and Open Areas - areas that represent a constraint to development and that should be
preserved for their natural function or open space qualities. These areas include floodplains and
riparian buffers, as well as recreation facilities.
The applicant is proposing a base zoning of GS General Suburban which is consistent with the land
uses identified in the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map. The General
Suburban portion is appropriate for high-density single-family lots, townhomes, and cottage green
single-family structures that will incorporate specific design criteria further outlined below in the
modifications section.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
context of the surrounding area:
The subject property is adjacent to PDD Planned Development District zoning to the west, R Rural to
the north across Rock Prairie Road, and City parkland to the east. Half of the surrounding property is
owned by Midtown Subdivision and the other half is owned by the City of College Station as
parkland. The proposed PDD zoning is compatible with the neighboring PDD’s residential land uses
and supports connectivity with the adjacent parkland through the proposal of several path
connections as shown on the concept plan.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning
district:
The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 19 acres. The subject property is bisected by a
tributary of Lick Creek, which is being proposed to be dedicated as city parkland and will provide
space for a multi-use path alongside the tributary. The tract of land north of the tributary will take
access from Rock Prairie Road and the southern half will take access from internal residential streets
Page 11 of 95
in the Midtown development that lead towards Double Mountain Road and Town Lake Drive. The
subject tract will be part of the larger Midtown development and is suitable for development of single
family and parks.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
Water and sewer service will be provided by the City of College Station. There is an existing water
line along Rock Prairie Rd. Additional water lines, and sewer lines will be projected to this property
from the existing Midtown PDD and will be shown in an updated Preliminary Plan. There is adequate
capacity of both water and sewer for this development based on the anticipated demand provided by
the developer. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject tract has frontage to Rock Prairie Road which is designated as a future 4-lane Major
Arterial and currently constructed as a 2-lane rural collector in this section. Traffic will flow out of this
site in two different directions depending on what side of the tributary you are located on. The most
recent traffic impact analysis (TIA) performed for Midtown has been updated to include the additional
single-family uses proposed within the boundary of this rezoning request. The updated TIA
determined that additional mitigation beyond what was already identified in the original TIA is not
needed.
5. The marketability of the property:
The property can be marketed under the current zoning of R Rural which allows for large-lot
residential uses. However, the marketability of the property would increase if rezoned for dense
single-family residential, as proposed.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed residential areas,
parkland dedication, multi-use path, and connections from the residential areas to the multiuse path
and park. 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 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
Page 12 of 95
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 Benefit: The City’s Medical District Master Plan recognizes the
importance of developing this area as an urban environment with both the density and the mix of
uses to serve the area with offices, services, and retail, as well as living opportunities for employees
and patrons of the area. The intent is for this area to serve as a Health and Wellness District that
would provide a Live-Work-Play environment with enhanced pedestrian facilities and destinations.
In order to construct a more urban environment, some of the City’s existing development standards
must be modified. In general, structures are proposed to have minimal setbacks, few height
limitations, and no buffers between uses. Additionally, availability of public parking is considered very
important to the success of the development.
To encourage a healthy lifestyle, site enhancements will be made throughout to provide pedestrian
traffic within and through the site for both recreation and commuting. This will be accomplished in
part by providing trail connections to the Lick Creek hike and bike trail and enhanced recreational
amenities around the existing pond within the development.
To provide walkable vibrant urban environment, the public realm should be supported by landscape,
site furniture, outdoor plazas and art. The urban design and mixed-use nature of the Midtown
development will create the need for enhanced urban amenities such as benches and other site
furniture, street trees, enhanced paving materials, and wide sidewalks. All street furniture and
amenities as well as placement will be standardized according to the district’s architectural
guidelines. Street light standards are proposed to be distinct to the District and will be coordinated
between the City and the District.
Base Zoning Districts: The PDD Planned Development District zoning includes the following base
zoning districts and all requirements associated with those base zoning districts shall apply except
where specifically modified herein. The PDD Planned Development District zoning includes base
zoning districts GS General Suburban with modifications for the area described as “Town Center
Residential” in the Concept Plan and NAP Natural Areas Protected for the area described as “Natural
Areas” in the Concept Plan.
The PDD includes a number of modifications, listed below, to realize the urban proposal. In addition,
amendments to Preliminary Plans and their associated Final Plats are proposed to be taken through
the review process concurrently, and concurrently to the Planning and Zoning Commission (when
required), at the request of the developer.

alley (no street frontage) so long as fire protection is maintained. Green clusters will have parking
associated with the common development, but not necessarily with each lot.
** Where Cottage Green Structures are adjacent to City of College Station parkland, the Cottage
Green Structures shall front the parkland and be alley parked.

design:
• Right-of-Way & Easements
o Standard street Right-of-Way (ROW) widths.
o As bicycle facilities are standard on thoroughfares, if parking is desired, then additional ROW
width is needed to accommodate separated bike lanes and parking.
o Ten (10) foot Public Utility Easements (PUE) provided adjacent to each side of the ROW and
within proposed ten (10) foot building setback.
o Utilities will be located within the ROW or PUE with no additional width of ROW or PUE
dedication required.
o Utilities may not be located under vehicular pavement, with the exception of crossings. Utilities
can be located in other areas within the ROW or PUE such that they will not affect the building
setback.
Utilities are permitted under sidewalks.
Storm sewer is permitted under the street.
o Additional PUE will not be required if depth of utility exceeds the standard depth. Maximum 10-
foot PUE.
o Water and wastewater lines will be located at least 15 feet from the permitted setback of
structures (or at least five (5) feet inside of the ROW).
o Exceptions may be made to the standard 15’ building separation from a pressurized water line
and/or wastewater line for minor conflicts to ensure the 10’ building setback is not affected.
• Building Setbacks from Right-of-Way
o A minimum of ten (10) foot building setbacks from the property line/ROW line.
o Utility placement will be such that structures may be erected at the ten (10) foot setback line.
• Pavement Width and Parking
o On-street parking is permitted at the time of development. As public streets, if the City desires
to remove parking in the future for public safety or other reasons, it may do so at its discretion with
approval of a parking removal ordinance.
o Minimum pavement width is 27 feet (back of curb) and meeting all other standards.
Page 15 of 95
o Phases of development with all pavement widths of at least 30 feet (back of curb) do NOT
have to comply with “Single-Family Residential Parking Requirements for Platting” (Unified
Development Ordinance Section 12-8.3.W).
o Residential sidewalks will be a minimum of six (6) feet in width.
• Tree Placement
o Canopy and non-canopy trees may be planted in residential front yards within the 10-ft
setback/PUE so long as canopy trees are not located over water or wastewater lines.
Floodplain & Detention: A drainage analysis is required to determine the extent of detention
needed on site, as required by the Unified Development Ordinance. The developer or the Municipal
Management District is responsible for providing all storm water detention facilities. After
construction, all storm water detention facilities will be maintained by the Rock Prairie Municipal
Management District Number 2 MMD.
Floodplain mitigation may be appropriate in areas designated as Natural Areas if located
inconspicuously and approved by the City Engineer.
Parkland: Community and Neighborhood Parkland and Park Development will be provided in the
existing Midtown Development. The exact acreage required for dedication will be based on the
number of dwelling units developed. All park and public spaces will be maintained by MMD.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
There is a demand for single family housing in College Station and the zone change is necessary for
development of 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 zone change is in accordance 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 current zoning would only allow for approximately 15 large single-family lots.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The requested zoning district will allow the expansion of the Midtown Development Residential.
Page 22 of 95
Page 2 of 4
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The requested zoning district will allow the expansion of the Midtown Development Residential.
Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
There is no marketability for the property permitted by the current zoning district since the land value would
have to be very minimal in order to develop large residential lots.
List any other reasons to support this zone change.
Development of this property will allow the Midtown Residential Development to have additional access to
Rock Prairie Road.
Maximum Building Height.
10 – 35’
Proposed Drainage.
The drainage from this development flows onto the adjacent property and will be designed in accordance with
the Unified Development Ordinance and the B/CS Unified Development Guidelines.
Variations Sought.
These are provided in Meritorious Modifications Exhibit.
Community Benefits.
As an expansion of the Midtown Development this property will have access to the parks, trails and other
amenities to be provided in Midtown. It will provide the urban walkable residential environment to support the
commercial part of Midtown.
Page 23 of 95
Page 3 of 4
Sustained Stability.
This plan is for an expansion of the existing Midtown Reserve development and will have the same standards
and will create an environment of stability and harmony with that development.
Conformity.
This development will provide single family residential lots which is in conformance with the General Suburban
land use for this area.
Compatibility with use.
The abutting land on the west has the same zoning and use so it is compatible. The adjacent tracts on the
south and east side are parkland and will not be developed. This zoning request does not adversely affect
their development.
Access to Streets.
Dwelling units that do not front on a public street may front on an Alley so long as fire protection is maintained.
Public Improvements.
This development will construct the public infrastructure necessary for the subdivision. It is an expansion of
Midtown Reserve which will provide park land and park improvements for this area also.
Public Health.
The subdivision will be constructed in accordance with the requirements of this PDD zoning and the UDO
which will ensure that is it no detrimental to anyone or any surrounding property.
Page 24 of 95
Page 4 of 4
Safety.
This development is an expansion of an existing residential subdivision and will provide adequate vehicular,
bicycle and pedestrian facilities so that it will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of the residents.

Midtown Reserve Subdivision Expansion II
The Midtown Reserve Subdivision is expanding to include the 19.44 acres of land adjacent to the
Southeast Park. The Preliminary Plan of the Midtown Reserve and Midtown City Center Subdivision is
attached. This Plan shows the parkland for the development. The PDD Zoning Concept Plan for the 19.44
acre tract and a Parkland Exhibit are attached. The Exhibits show the layout of the residential subdivision
streets with sidewalks, alley, the multi-use path, pedestrian and bike connections. Also shown is the 3.08
acres of proposed parkland dedication for the 19.44 acres. 0.96 acres of the 3.08 acres parkland is
“Natural Area Protected” land use which is the approximate limits of the 100-year floodplain and will be
left as a natural area without development.
Also, 2.23 acres in Phase 109 of the development is proposed for parkland. 1.19 acres of 2.23 acres
parkland is “Natural Area Protected” land use. Along the east side of the proposed parkland is an
existing multi-use path. This path starts at Rock Prairie Road and will be extended to the Southeast Park
and then through a portion of the park as shown on the Exhibit. Parkland dedication in Phase 109 was not
requested prior to its development since it appeared unlikely that the 19.44 acres would get added to the
development. Now we can create a continuous parkland as shown in the parkland exhibit.
Development of the proposed parkland may include sidewalks, paths, parking, lighting, benches, trash
receptacles, exercise stations and other amenities. All development within the parkland will go through
Development Services and the Parks Department for review and approval and will be built to City
Standards. All parkland and public spaces in the Midtown Reserve Subdivision will be maintained by the
Rock Prairie Management District No. 2, as specified in the Development Agreement.
Attached are photos of some of the existing park improvements in the Midtown Reserve Subdivision.
Also, photos of the exercise stations in the Castlegate II Park. This equipment or similar equipment may
be utilized in the proposed parkland.

Item No. 5.2.
Sponsor: Jeff Howell
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
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 GS General Suburban to GS General Suburban and ROO
Restricted Occupancy Overlay on approximately 21.15 acres being 49 lots and a common area
within Cat Hollow Phase 1 Subdivision and Glenhaven Estates Phase 8 Subdivision, generally
located between Brazoswood Drive and Dominik Drive. Case #REZ2024-000002 (Note: Final action
of this item will be considered at the May 9, 2024 City Council meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): N/A
Summary: This request is to rezone a total of approximately 21.15 acres from GS General Suburban
to GS General Suburban and ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay, being approximately:
• 17.35 acres being 39 lots and a common area within Cat Hollow Phase 1; and
• 3.80 acres being 10 lots within Glenhaven Estates Phase 8
This request is to add the ROO, which is a single-family overlay zoning district, to the existing base
zoning within these contiguous subdivision boundaries. The ROO is intended to provide subdivision-
specific occupancy regulations – not to exceed two unrelated persons per single-family dwelling or
accessory living quarter. The ROO Petition Committee, comprised of property owners from each
original subdivision, has met all requirements of the ROO application process. The Petition
Committee submitted the application materials including the ROO petition for each subdivision. When
submitting an application with contiguous subdivisions applying jointly within one application, the fifty
(50) percent plus one (1) petition signature threshold of property owners in support of the overlay
must be met for each of the original subdivisions that apply jointly. City staff were able to verify that
each original subdivision has met the petition signature threshold in support of the requested ROO.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject areas are designated as Neighborhood Conservation and Natural & Open Areas on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map. The Natural & Open Areas are tributaries
that lead to Carters Creek and the associated floodplain. The surrounding areas to the north are
designated as Neighborhood Conservation, Parks and Greenways at the location of Richard Carter
Park, and Neighborhood Commercial with a church. The subject properties are also surrounded by
Neighborhood Conservation and Natural & Open Areas (the Carters Creek tributaries) to the south,
east, and west. These subject areas are generally bounded by Brazoswood Drive to the north and
Dominik Drive to the south which are both existing 2-lane minor collectors and are shown on the
Comprehensive Plan’s Thoroughfare Plan.
Page 41 of 95
The Comprehensive Plan discusses single-family overlay zoning districts in both Chapter 3, Strong
Neighborhoods and Chapter 9, Collaborative Partnerships. The plan states that, “various single-
family overlay zoning districts have been created to help mitigate the issues associated with tear-
downs in established neighborhoods. These include the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay, the
Restricted Occupancy Overlay, and the Historic Preservation Overlay.” The plan goes on to state that
collaboration between the City and Texas A&M University is vital to proactively address issues
caused by the rapid growth of the university and the stressors and potential changes that places on
nearby neighborhoods. Single-family overlay zoning is a tool that a neighborhood can choose for
itself to help address and mitigate perceived, anticipated, and actual changes within an established
single-family neighborhood. While the NCO Neighborhood Conservation and HP Historic
Preservation overlays address and mitigate changes to physical property characteristics, the intent of
a ROO is to address and mitigate issues associated with over-occupancy. As a tool that a
neighborhood can pursue for itself to address issues of over-occupancy and preserve neighborhood
character, the request is aligned 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 subject areas are surrounded by GS General Suburban zoned single-family homes, except to
the north across Glenhaven Drive, which is zoned T Townhouse and is currently developed with
single-family housing and a park. The single-family uses allowed by the GS General Suburban
zoning district will remain and the addition of the ROO solely restricts the number of unrelated
persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarters to no more than two unrelated
persons.
As stated in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO):
Single-family overlay districts create an additional zoning district that is superimposed over the
underlying zoning district. Single-family overlay districts are intended to provide additional
standards for College Station neighborhoods. These standards promote residential development
patterns and are intended to protect and enhance desirable neighborhood characteristics,
livability, and harmonious, orderly, and efficient growth and development. The underlying zoning
district establishes the permitted uses and standards and shall remain in effect. The requirements
of the overlay district are to be applied in addition to the underlying zoning district standards.
The ROO overlay standard is as follows:
Occupancy of either a detached single-family dwelling or accessory living quarter shall not exceed
two unrelated persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarter. Related persons are
specified in Section 11.2 ‘Defined Terms’ in the definition of ‘Family.’ Accessory living quarter
requirements are further specified in Section 6.5 ‘Accessory Uses’ within the standards for ‘Living
Quarters.’
UDO sections 3.3 Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning), 4.1 Establishment of Districts, and 5.11
Single-Family Overlay Districts detail the application process and regulations for single-family overlay
districts and the ROO Process Handbook serves as a policy guide for residents. The process
requires that a subdivision interested in pursuing a ROO form a Petition Committee. That committee
is tasked with leading the effort, organizing their neighbors, hosting a neighborhood-led meeting and
notifying all neighbors of the meeting via certified mail, collecting the petition signatures, and
submitting the completed application and all required materials. Contiguous subdivisions can choose
Page 42 of 95
to work together and submit a joint application, provided that there is a representative from each
original subdivision on the Petition Committee and that each subdivision submits a petition that meets
the threshold of fifty (50) percent plus one (1) of signatures in support of the overlay for each
subdivision.
The ROO Petition Committee was comprised of six members, with at least one representative from
each subdivision: Bill Brown (Cat Hollow Phase 1), Tina Hanna (Cat Hollow Phase 1), Allen Kinley
(Cat Hollow Phase 1), Anna Park (Cat Hollow Phase 1), Christine McFarland (Glenhaven Estates
Phase 8), and Janet Fanguy (Glenhaven Estates Phase 8). The Petition Committee hosted their
neighborhood meeting on December 10, 2023, discussed pursuing the ROO, answered questions
from their neighbors, and discussed collecting petition signatures. There were approximately 23
attendees at the meeting--20 were property owners, 1 was on behalf of an owner who was not able
to attend, and 2 were other property owners in the surrounding area. City staff were not present at
the meeting.
The Petition Committee finished collecting petition signatures and submitted their ROO application on
February 2, 2024. City staff verified that the application was complete, that all requirements were
met, and that the ROO petition for each original subdivision met the signature threshold. The verified
petition signatures in support of the ROO are as follows:
• Cat Hollow Phase 1: 28 of 39 lots in support (71.7%)
• Glenhaven Estates Phase 8: 8 of 10 lots in support (80%)
Staff held a required City-hosted neighborhood meeting for this ROO application request on March
25, 2024. There were approximately 13 attendees, with the majority of questions relating to the
overall process, timeline, and enforcement within the ROO.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The ROO zoning does not affect any of the physical characteristics of the underlying GS General
Suburban zoning district. The existing subdivisions meet the dimensional standards for GS General
Suburban zoned properties as set forth in the UDO and are already developed as single-family
residential subdivisions.
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, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure is adequate to support
the needs of these existing developments. No additional development and subsequent impacts are
anticipated from the addition of the ROO zoning designation.
5. The marketability of the property:
The single-family uses allowed by the GS General Suburban zoning district will remain and are
marketable as single-family residential homes. The ROO only restricts the number of unrelated
persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarters to no more than two unrelated
persons.

Rezoning - Mayo Tract
Sponsor: Gabriel Schrum
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
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 R Rural to T Townhouse for approximately 16 acres
generally located at 3700 Rock Prairie Road West. Case #REZ2024-000004 (Note: Final action of
this item will be considered at the May 9, 2024 City Council Meeting - Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse and Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request as it is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding area.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 16 acres of land generally located at 3700 Rock
Prairie Rd W from R Rural to T Townhouse. The subject property is currently vacant and it is the
applicant’s intent to develop this as a townhome subdivision. The current zoning district of R Rural
does not allow for the townhome use and density that the applicant is seeking. The proposed T
Townhouse zoning district allows that use by right.
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 Mixed Residential. For the Mixed Residential land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the
following:
Areas appropriate for a mix of moderate density residential development including, townhomes,
duplexes, small multifamily buildings (3-12 unit), and limited small-lot single family. These areas
are appropriate for residential infill and redevelopment that allows original character to evolve.
These areas may serve as buffers between more intense multi-family residential or mixed-use
development and suburban residential or neighborhood conservation areas.
The intent of the Mixed Residential land use is to create a walkable pattern of small lots, small
blocks, and well-connected street pattern while accommodating streetscape features such as
sidewalks, street trees, and lighting. The development should encourage community facilities,
parks, and greenways within neighborhoods. It will further support neighborhoods with a mix of
housing types, and where larger or more dense housing is located near community facilities or
adjacent to commercial or neighborhood centers.
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land use include: Duplex, townhouse,
middle housing, and limited-scale single-family.
Page 76 of 95
The Comprehensive Plan discusses residential infill and redevelopment in both Chapter 3, Strong
Neighborhoods and Chapter 8, Managed Growth. The plan states, “infill development offers the
opportunity to mediate and enhance the identity of neighborhoods.” The plan goes on to mention that
infill and redevelopment can create more viable and vibrant places throughout the city. Residential
infill, especially in areas of the city designated for redevelopment, improves the efficiency of land use
while enhancing the character of surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposed T Townhouse zoning district allows for townhouse developments which is in line 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 subject property is adjacent to the townhome properties to the north and east, a large single
family tract to the south along Rock Prairie Road W, bordered by the future extension of Towers
Pkwy and a manufactured home park located to the west in the ETJ. This development will extend
and connect Towers Pkwy, and also include the extension of Ryans Landing into the property.
Adjacent properties are zoned MH Middle Housing with a HOO High Occupancy Overlay to the east,
the ETJ to the west, PDD Planned Development District to the north and R Rural to the south.
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 a variety of residential developments near the
intersection of Holleman S Dr and Rock Prairie W.
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 developments allowed within the
proposed zoning district. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal lot dimensional
standards for the 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 surrounding the site is adequate to support the
needs of this zoning change. Site-specific improvements necessary to support the development
such as sanitary sewer connections, 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 borders Towers Pkwy Dr with the extension being included in the future
development. The change in proposed use is expected to generate an increase of 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.

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 townhome zoning is in accordance with the united residential land use.
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 would only allow 5 single family lots. That usage is not appropriate for this location due to the
mobile home park and higher density developments adjacent to the property.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The property is suitable because the infrastructure in the adjacent development was designed to support the

MEMORANDUM
April 4, 2024
TO:Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM:Jeff Howell
Senior Planner, Planning & Development Services
SUBJECT:UDO Section 8.3.H.1.i regarding general requirements of subdivision of lots
Item:
Public hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a discretionary item to the
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 8.3.H.1.i ‘Lots’, and presentation, discussion, and
possible action regarding a Final Plat of Southeast College Park Lot 5A & Lot 5B Block 3, being
a Replat of Southeast College Park Lot 5 Block 3 on approximately 0.608 acres, generally located
at the corner of Winding Road and South Dexter Drive. Case# FP2023-000007.
Summary:
This final plat is for a residential development along South Dexter Drive, which is classified on
the Thoroughfare Plan as a collector. The applicant’s intention is to divide the existing single-
family lot currently taking access to Winding Road in order to create an additional single family
residential lot, which will take access onto South Dexter Drive. The current zoning of the
property is GS General Suburban.
This final plat includes a discretionary item related to general requirements of lot subdivision in
the UDO Section 8.3.H.1.i ‘Lots’. Per this section, no single-family dwelling, townhouse, or
duplex lot shall have direct access to an arterial or collector thoroughfare; however, these lots
may face toward a thoroughfare if driveway access is provided via a public alley. While the
property is adjacent to an existing platted alley, the alley contains utility lines and is unimproved.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, single-family detached lots that are at least one hundred (100)
feet in width may have direct access with the recommendation of the Administrator and approval
of the Planning and Zoning Commission. This subdivision is proposing access to South Dexter
Drive only for Lot 5A, which has frontage of approximately 106.95 feet.
Staff is recommending approval of the discretionary item as Lot 5A meets the width requirement
along the public right-of-way frontage.
If the discretionary item is denied, it would be to deny the request based on not allowing direct
access onto a collector (Dexter) and that no improved alley exists to take access from.
