Case #PP2024-000001 Staff Planner DiMeolo presented the waiver requests and preliminary plan to the Commission recommending approval of both. Commissioner Collins asked about the new road that will dead end, asking if sanitation and emergency vehicles will be able to turn around. Staff Planner DiMeolo clarified that there will be a turnaround at the end of Woodland Park Drive. Commissioner Mirza asked how much green space will be dedicated. Staff Planner DiMeolo clarified that there will be two common areas. Applicant, Jeff Robertson, McClure and Browne, was available to address the Commission via TEAMS. Commissioner Warren asked if the pond is existing. Mr. Robertson confirmed that the pond is existing. Commissioner Collins asked for confirmation that this is the same waiver granted to the Millstone Estates development. Staff Planner DiMeolo confirmed that this is the same waiver granted to Millstone Estates. Commissioner Shafer asked for the reasoning that streets in the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) are 100 feet in width. Staff Planner DiMeolo clarified that 100 feet in width is typical for rural cross-sections in the ETJ, as streets are not a standard curb and gutter design. Commissioner Shafer asked why rural streets are not the standard 77 feet in width. Director Armstrong clarified that street width is a blanket statement among all thoroughfares. The 100-foot width for rural streets is common to meet needs and capacity for growth. Commissioner Collins motioned to recommend approval of the waiver requests and preliminary plan as presented, Commissioner Cornelius seconded the motion, the motion passed 7-0.

Director Armstrong stated that after the adoption of phase one of the MH Middle Housing rezoning, the City sent notices to those properties rezoned, outlining the process to come into compliance. The City’s Code Enforcement Department will be responsible for sending enforcement notifications to affected properties. Commissioner Collins asked if there were any opportunities for amnesty.

Adjourn The meeting adjourned at 6:33 p.m. Approved: Attest: ___________________________________ _________________________________ Melissa McIlhaney, Chairperson Kristen Hejny, Board Secretary Planning & Zoning Commission Planning & Development Services Page 9 of 79 Planning & Zoning Commission June 20, 2024 Preliminary Plan for Greens Prairie Reserve PP2024-000004 Scale 643 single-family residential lots, cluster development (20 phases) on approximately 233 acres Location Generally located southeast of Greens Prairie Road and west of Arrington Road and the city limits. Applicant RME Consulting Engineers Project Manager Jesse DiMeolo, Staff Planner Project Overview This is an amendment to the original Preliminary Plan adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 17, 2018. The original plan covered a total of 29 phases and had subdivision regulation waivers to street projections, adequate street access, cul-de-sac lengths, block lengths, access ways, sidewalks, and parkland dedication. This new, updated plan covers the remaining 20 phases that have not been built yet and has a higher density that matches a recently approved PDD concept plan from January of this year. This proposed preliminary plan will consist of 643 lots with approximately 61 acres of open spaces and 7.65 acres of parkland. A private trail is proposed throughout the development that will connect to the multi-use path along Diamondback Drive (minor collector). The purpose of this amendment is to modify the waiver to street access and require a secondary, permanent access to the subdivision be built with phase 602. Parkland Dedication At the May 8, 2018 Parks & Recreation Advisory Board meeting, the Board recommended approval for the dedication of 15.56 acres of neighborhood and community parkland. As mentioned above, 7.65 acres of parkland remains to be dedicated as the subdivision builds out. The Board recommended approval that the parkland be dedicated in phases. Traffic Impact Analysis TIA was required with the original rezoning of the property in 2017. With a more recent PDD rezoning last year and an increase in density, the TIA remains valid. The site’s assumed trip generation and traffic mitigation recommendations outlined in the TIA are being fulfilled as buildout continues. Page 10 of 79 Planning & Zoning Commission June 20, 2024 Compliant with Comprehensive Plan (including Master Plans) and Unified Development Ordinance Yes. Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes, with the exception of one waiver being requested for the following section of the subdivision regulations: Section 8.3.E.4.b ‘Adequate Street Access’ Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending approval of the waiver. If the waiver is approved, the plan must be approved. If the waiver is denied, the plan must be denied as it would not be in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations of the UDO. Supporting Materials 1.Waiver Request 2.Applicant’s Supporting Information 3.Vicinity Map & Aerial 4.Preliminary Plan Page 11 of 79 SUBDIVISION WAIVER REQUEST The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations contained in the UDO except for the following waiver request: UDO Section 8.3.E.4.b Adequate Street Access – When there are more than thirty (30) lots to be served by external street connections, a minimum of two (2) street connections to external paved public streets shall be required. The Planning and Zoning Commission may allow remote emergency access where development phasing or constraints of the land prevent the provision of a second street connection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, two (2) street connections to externally paved public streets shall be required when one hundred (100) or more lots are served. This UDO section requires a minimum of two street connections to external public streets when 100 or more lots are served. Currently, the subdivision has platted 247 lots. With the proposed preliminary plan, the applicant is requesting the following sequencing of when the second, paved access would be built. Section 8, Phase 801 contains the portion of Diamondback Drive that connects into Greens Prairie Road, across from Castlegate Drive. This phase, with its associated parkland dedication, will be required when whichever of the following three items comes first: A. Parkland dedication is required to meet or exceed requirements. B. When the total subdivision lot count exceeds 428 lots. C. Construction completion of fire station #7 located on Greens Prairie Road West and near the NW corner of the subject tract. Along with what is stated above, the applicant is proposing with the approval of this preliminary plan that the next two phases to be built would be phases 601 and 602. Phase 602 would establish a permanent, paved connection with Greens Prairie Road. In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver, the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver (Staff findings are in italics). 1)That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land; There are special circumstances affecting the land where strict application of the regulations may limit the reasonable use of the land. The subject tract has over 3,000 feet of frontage to Greens Prairie Road West though the applicant has chosen to begin building the subdivision from Arrington Road. This decision was due in part to the city capital project to widen Greens Prairie Road West, which was just recently finished. Looking at the context of the surrounding area, the only possible location for a second connection is west towards Greens Prairie Road. Adjacent property to the north is farther away, thus not a great option for access and the Windham tract to the south has no Page 12 of 79 public roads to tie into, leaving the only option to build west either extending Diamondback Drive or Coral River Road through section 6. 2)That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; This waiver seeks to delay the construction of a second public street access until phase 602 is built. After working closely with the applicant, city staff supports this proposal as it encourages the development to connect to Greens Prairie Road sooner rather than later. This waiver is necessary for substantial property rights of the developer as they are able to continue platting lots as they extend roads towards the secondary connection. It is necessary for the development as a whole when taking into consideration the timing of connections to Greens Prairie Road. 3)The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and The granting of the waiver to delay the second public street access will not have a greater impact on public health, safety, and welfare than the originally approved waiver in 2018. Emergency access roads are provided to section 6, section 4, and all other existing lots in section 2. The traffic impact analysis provided with the original rezoning shows the anticipated traffic Level of Service that would result due to the increase in number of lots flowing towards Arrington Road. The applicant states the Level of Service remains acceptable from now until when the second permanent connection is made. 4)That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The granting of the waiver does not prevent the orderly subdivision of other land in the area as the second access via a public street is to an existing roadway. If the Commission approves the waiver, the Commission shall incorporate the findings of the waiver into the official minutes of the meetings at which such waiver is granted. If the waiver is denied, then the preliminary plan is also denied. For this preliminary plan to be approved as proposed, the waiver needs to be accepted. Waivers may be granted only when in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this UDO so that public health, safety, and welfare may be secured and substantial justice done. Staff is recommending approval of the waiver request. Page 13 of 79 GREENS PRAIRIE RESERVE Waiver Request – Preliminary Plan Page - 1 WAIVERS TO SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS: 1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land. Due to unique development conditions, desired master planning of the subdivision, and the projected construction time of Fire Station #7 the following waiver is being requested. The Preliminary Plan illustrates three (3) proposed street connections. The first street connection has been made along Arrington Road and the remaining two (2), located in subsequent phases, are off of Greens Prairie Road. Currently a Remote Emergency Access serves this development and connects to Greens Prairie Road. This temporary access is also illustrated on the Preliminary Plan. 2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Currently the subdivision is serviced by Fire Station #5. Taking into consideration the additional milage that would be required to drive down Greens Prairie Road and then Diamondback Drive, to the currently developed portion of the subdivision, it is actually more efficient at this time to continue to utilize Arrington Road and the fire/emergency access point. 3. The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to the other property in the area, or to the City in administering subdivision regulations. Per the original TIA, the Diamondback Drive/Arrington Road intersection will not have a failing Level of Service (LOS) until a lot count of 700 is met. An on-site meeting was conducted with Mr. Cameron Giordano (CoCS Fire Marshal) to review the existing development conditions (access off of Arrington Road, emergency access roadway, and residential construction). It is our understanding that the waiver request is acceptable with Mr. Giordano. Current projections indicate that the portion of the subdivision that would benefit from the entry of Diamondback Drive to Greens Prairie Road, would not be occupied until mid-to-late 2026. This coincides with the expected timeframe that Fire Station #7 would come on-line. Additional study and discussions were conducted with CoCS Staff. The result was that the Phase 601 & 602 boundary lines were adjusted so that a second permanent street connection to Greens Prairie Road with the construction of Phase 602. 4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinances. The waivers requested should not have a negative or disruptive influence on the normal operations and development of this subdivision or adjacent property. WAIVER REQUEST: Section 12-8.3.E.4.b – Adequate Street Access: When there are more than thirty (30) lots to be served by external street connections, a minimum of two (2) street connections to external paved public streets shall be required. The Commission may allow a Remote Emergency Access where development phasing or constraints of the land prevent the provision of a second street connection. Notwithstanding Page 14 of 79 GREENS PRAIRIE RESERVE Waiver Request – Preliminary Plan Page - 2 the foregoing, two (2) street connections to external paved public streets shall be required when one hundred (100) or more lots are served. Waiver Request: The second connection, to Greens Prairie Road, will be made with the completion of Phase 602. A third street connection, to Greens Prairie Road, be provided at such time that the development (1) exceeds a lot count of 428 dwelling units, (2) additional parkland dedication is required, or (3) Fire Station #7 is constructed and in service (whichever comes first).

The subject property and properties immediately adjacent to the north are primarily designated as Urban Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map, while the properties to the south and west are General Commercial. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment is in preparation for a rezoning of the property to allow for additional commercial options in the area. It is the applicant’s intent to develop offices and self- storage on the subject property. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property and properties immediately adjacent to the north are designated as Urban Residential. The Urban Residential land use designation is generally for areas that are appropriate for a range of high-density multifamily and attached residential development in various forms including townhomes, apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings, and limited non-residential uses that are compatible with the surrounding area. The properties to the south and west are designated as General Commercial. These properties General Commercial areas are concentrated areas of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large and located along regionally significant roads. Due to their context, these areas tend to prioritize automobile mobility. This request to change the land use designation of the subject property to General Commercial would allow for the development of a largely undeveloped property with close proximity to Texas Avenue South and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. 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 General Commercial and has also requested a rezoning to General Commercial. The intent of General Page 35 of 79 Commercial is to accommodate a wide range of commercial uses and concentrate commercial development near major intersections and thoroughfares. The subject property is located at the end of Morgan’s Lane, about 500 feet northeast of Texas Avenue. This area continues to experience a high amount of infill development as owners look to develop the remainder of the land between Texas Avenue and the Bee Creek Tributary to the east. This property would be compatible with existing uses, development patterns, and character of General Commercial zoned properties in the area. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 19, 2024. All property owners within 200 feet of the subject property were notified of the neighborhood meeting, and approximately four people were in attendance. Attendees expressed no concerns regarding the land use change and only had general inquiries about the project. The proposal is compatible with the character of the area as it allows for commercial development that is compatible with the surrounding area. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: A small portion in the eastern corner of the subject property is designated as FEMA floodplain. The applicant is proposing to rezone the portion to NAP Natural Areas Protected to protect the potential flood area from building development. 4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: Water and wastewater services will be provided by the City of College Station. There is adequate water and sanitary sewer capacity to support the proposed amendment. The subject property is in the Bee Creek Drainage Basin and drains to Bee Creek Tributary A. 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 has frontage to Morgan’s Lane, which is a local street. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was provided with the rezoning request and more information can be found in the rezoning staff report. The rezoning TIA determined that until the Dartmouth Street connection from Texas Avenue to Harvey Mitchell Parkway is built, the development will be limited at the site plan stage to 85% of the trips assumed to be generated by the GC General Commercial zoning district on the basis of adequate infrastructure, but the infrastructure is otherwise adequate to serve the land use change. 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 General Commercial, defined as areas that accommodate a wide range of commercial uses, is appropriate for this property as it provides infill development along a major commercial corridor of the city.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment at 116 and 120 Morgans Lane What is the amendment requested? We request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for this property from Urban Residential to General Commercial. What is the reason for the amendment? We are seeking to amend College Station's Comprehensive Plan and rezone a portion of the property from Urban Residential to General Commercial to accommodate the growing demand for commercial services and foster economic development in the area. This change aligns with the city's vision for balanced urban growth and aims to provide a diverse range of businesses and services for residents and visitors alike. How will this change be compatible with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole? In response to the growing demand for commercial development in the area, numerous properties are undergoing transformation into commercial spaces. The decision to pursue commercial development for this specific property is influenced by its location, just off of Texas Avenue and the future extension of Dartmouth Drive, which is highly suitable and compatible for such land use. Page 41 of 79 Page 2 of 2 Explain the impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas and infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation network. We recognize that a portion of this property is in an environmentally sensitive area, and we will accommodate for this area in the design of our plans and in future rezoning requests. The infrastructure in the area, water, wastewater, electrical, drainage, and thoroughfares have been designed in anticipation of this area being developed as high-density residential uses. This general commercial use has a lower utility demand than high density residential. Dartmouth Drive is a thoroughfare that is planned to accommodate the traffic loads from commercial traffic at this location. Explain how this change will be consistent with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment to College Station's Comprehensive Land Use Plan seeks to align the zoning of a particular property with its surrounding context. Given that the adjacent properties are already designated as General Commercial, it is appropriate to amend the land use plan on this property to commercial as well. This approach ensures consistency and compatibility with the existing commercial zone and maintains a cohesive and distinct commercial area without integrating residential elements into it. List any other reasons to support this zone change. College Station’s Comprehensive Plan states that their goal is “to serve as an example of a vibrant, forward- thinking, knowledge-based community that promotes the highest quality of life”. One of the strategies for accomplishing this goal is to preserve the existing development pattern, while allowing opportunities for development and growth to accommodate the increasing number of people moving to the community. Allowing a commercial development at this location is contextually appropriate to the surrounding developments and will provide a much-needed supply for commercial development and retail. This development is consistent with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. List any other additional properties. N/A Page 42 of 79 TEXAS AVE.

Morgan's Lane Rezoning Sponsor: Jesse Dimeolo 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 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 boundaries from GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected on approximately six acres located in Lake View Acres, Lots 14-15 (Front 209’ of) and Lake View Acres Lot 15 (300’ of), generally located at 110, 116, and 120 Morgan’s Lane. Case #REZ2024-000006 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the June 27, 2024 City Council Meeting – Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse & Growing Economy Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. Summary: This request is to rezone approximately six acres of land located on Morgan’s Lane, north of Texas Avenue South, from GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected. This zoning request is in effort to provide more retail sales and services opportunities to the area to serve the growing population of College Station. The Morgan’s Lane rezoning is in conjunction with a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map from Urban Residential to General Commercial for the subject property which will need to be approved first. 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 Urban Residential and Natural and Open Areas. Urban Residential areas are appropriate for a range of high-density multifamily and attached residential development in various forms including townhomes, apartment buildings, mixed use buildings, and limited non-residential uses that are compatible with the surrounding area. Natural and Open Areas are generally areas that represent a constraint to development and that should be conserved for their natural function or open space qualities. These areas include floodplains, riparian buffers, common areas, and open space. The applicant has submitted an amendment request for a land use change from the Urban Residential portion of the property to General Commercial. The proposed General Commercial land use designation is appropriate for concentrated areas of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large and located along regionally significant roads. Due to their context, these areas tend to prioritize automobile mobility. The proposed rezoning request to GC General Commercial is consistent with the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning request to NAP Natural Areas Protected is consistent with Comprehensive Plan, existing and proposed. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: Page 45 of 79 The subject property is currently bordered by properties zoned GC General Commercial that have frontage on Texas Avenue. To the north is a MF Multi-Family zoned apartment complex and an undeveloped property with three different zoning designations: R Rural, GS General Suburban, and PDD Planned Development District. Future plans for this property are limited to a list of restricted office-related uses in the PDD ordinance, the future Dartmouth Street extension over a large portion of the R Rural zoned area, and floodplain. As there is significant floodplain in the area that affects the subject tract and tracts to the north and east, NAP Natural Areas Protected is an appropriate zoning district that helps conserve the natural functions of the floodplain. To the south is a small pocket of O Office-zoned property between larger amounts of GC General Commercial. The subject property is bordered to the north by Morgan’s Lane, a small local street that currently dead ends. On the southeast border there is a future thoroughfare projection of Dartmouth Street that will project up north towards the existing, improved Dartmouth right-of-way, which starts at the secondary entrance of the multifamily development. Commercial development in this area is appropriate for the high classification of the roads in the area and the surrounding transition to commercial and higher density residential developments. Amending the zoning to GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected is consistent with the anticipated land uses for this area. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The size and location of the majority of the subject property is suitable for commercial uses. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards for GC General Commercial. The subject property has frontage and takes access from Morgan’s Lane. Additionally, the adjacent property to the south includes the future extension of Dartmouth Street that will eventually connect Texas Avenue to Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The proposed rezoning to GC General Commercial is suitable for more intense land uses. The eastern corner of the subject property located in the FEMA flood hazard area will be rezoned to NAP Natural Areas Protected and no commercial development will occur there. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: Domestic water and fire flow for this tract will be provided by the City of College Station. Wastewater service for this tract will also be provided by the City. There is adequate water and sanitary sewer capacity to support the proposed rezoning request. The subject property is in the Bee Creek Drainage Basin and drains to Bee Creek Tributary A. 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 has frontage to Morgan’s Lane, which is a local street. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was provided with the rezoning request. The Dartmouth Street proposed thoroughfare is immediately adjacent to the subject property and runs along the southeastern border. Dartmouth Street is proposed to be a two-lane major collector. The TIA determined that until the Dartmouth Street connection from Texas Avenue to Harvey Mitchell Parkway is built, the development will be limited to 85% of the trips assumed to be generated by the GC General Commercial zoning district on the basis of adequate infrastructure. At the site planning stage, the development will also be required to construct a right turn deceleration lane at the northbound Texas Avenue approach to the Morgan’s Lane intersection, regardless of if the Dartmouth Street connection is built or not. Page 46 of 79 5. The marketability of the property: The applicant has stated that single-family uses are not marketable at this location. Single-family residential zoning was placed on the property as a placeholder following annexation in 1969. Since that time, the surrounding area has developed with higher intensity commercial, office and multi- family uses. Rezoning to allow commercial uses is anticipated to increase the marketability of the property. Budget & Financial Summary: N/A Attachments: 1. Vicinity, Aerial, and Small Area Maps 2.

Several new developments in this area of College Station have been a catalyst for continued new developments and redevelopments. As College Station continues to grow, retail sales and services become more necessary to serve the growing population. Infill properties are very valuable as they do not contribute to urban sprawl and necessary infrastructure is widely available. However, commercial uses are not permitted under the existing GS General Suburban zoning district; therefore, a rezoning to GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected to protect environmentally sensitive areas, is necessary. 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 designates these properties as General Commercial and Urban land uses. We’ve requested a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Urban to General Commercial to bring all properties to the same land use designation. If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved, this rezoning request will be 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? Because most of the property in the immediate area is zoned and developed for commercial and high-density multi-family uses, the current zoning for GS General Suburban is an island on the zoning map. Single-family zoning at this location is no longer appropriate and would be undesirable. GS General Suburban is not suitable for this property. Page 52 of 79 Page 2 of 2 Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. Much of the property in the vicinity has been recently developed or redeveloped with general commercial multi- family uses. The request to rezone the property to GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected, to protect the floodplain on the property, is suitable for this property. This infill development is a priority stated in the Comprehensive Plan making this development and rezoning request even more suitable for this property.

Case #REZ2024- 000008 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the June 27, 2024 City Council Meeting – Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: Neighborhood Integrity Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request Summary: This request is to rezone approximately seven acres of land located on Barron Road, across from the College Station High School, from R Rural to GS General Suburban and T Townhouse. The tract was originally zoned R Rural upon annexation into the City in 1995. Prior to annexation, the easternmost portion of this property was platted into one block and seven lots of the Needham Estates Subdivision. Public right-of-way was also dedicated for the extension of Jamey Lane from Leyla Lane to Barron Road. The proposed GS portion of the rezoning request is in an effort to continue the same style of single-family development along Crestmont Drive up until the point where Leyla Lane will bend southeast to continue towards Barron Road. The remainder of the tract of land is being proposed as T Townhouse to help utilize a denser single-family product closer to the school and main thoroughfare of Barron Road. 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 Suburban Residential. These areas are primarily single-family residential areas that consist of low to moderate density single-family lots. This may also include limited townhomes, duplexes, other housing types, and some non-residential uses that are compatible with surrounding single-family areas. Development types tend to be highly consistent within a subdivision or neighborhood. The rezoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and promotes a mixture of single-family housing types that are appropriate for the area. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The existing R Rural zoning allows for a mix of large acreages and large-lot residential developments, which is incompatible with the development in this area. Given the property’s proximity to Barron Road and the College Station High School, a rezoning to denser single family housing types will help promote growth as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. GS General Suburban developments permit a maximum of 8 dwelling units per acre whereas T Townhouse has a permitted maximum of up to 14 dwelling units per acre. Since townhomes can Page 57 of 79 have 3-12 attached single-family units, more homes can be built on the subject tract. Increased density near the school will create improved accessibility to the school by walking, bicycling and other alternative modes of transportation. 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 residential uses. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards for both GS General Suburban and T Townhouse districts. Each lot will require public street frontage on any of the proposed local streets that will connect through the property. There is no floodplain on the property. 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. Detention is required in accordance with the BCS guidelines. 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 has frontage to Barron Road and right-of-way dedicated for Jamey Lane. Barron Road is classified as a 4-lane Minor Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Jamey Lane is a local street. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required for the rezoning request as the applicant showed the anticipated trip generation to be less than the threshold of 150 trips in the peak hour. At this time, infrastructure is adequate for the uses permitted by the proposed GS General Suburban and T Townhouse zoning districts. 5. The marketability of the property: The applicant has stated that the current R Rural zoning is not the highest and best use for the property. Rezoning the property from R Rural to GS General Suburban and T Townhouse can provide additional development opportunity by allowing more density on the property. This opportunity for additional lots and density should increase the marketability of the property. Budget & Financial Summary: N/A Attachments: 1. Vicinity, Aerial, and Small Area Maps 2.

Tang Cake Rezoning Sponsor: Jesse Dimeolo 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 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 PDD Planned Development District to MH Middle Housing with a HOO High Occupancy Overlay for approximately 2 acres being The Barracks II Phase 400 Block 36, Lot 27, generally located at the south corner of Tang Cake Drive and Old Wellborn Road. Case # REZ2024-000015 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the July 11, 2024 City Council Meeting – Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: Neighborhood Integrity Recommendation(s): Approval Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 2.01 acres of land being one platted lot located at 101 Tang Cake Drive from PDD Planned Development District to MH Middle Housing with a HOO High Occupancy Overlay. The subject property was platted in 2016 and is currently undeveloped. The property was originally zoned as a part of the Barracks PDD and according to the concept plan, listed as a commercial area. Up until this time, commercial has struggled to develop in this area due to its separation from nearby commercial corridors like Deacon Drive and Rock Prairie Road West. The lack of frontage on these streets lends it to being appropriate property for residential uses. Nearby properties to the northwest, west and southwest include townhomes that are a part of the Barracks Subdivision. The undeveloped property to the east, at the corner of Old Wellborn and Rock Prairie Road, has a future land use of General Commercial, which is more appropriate as it has direct frontage to a four-lane major arterial. 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 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 units), and limited small-lot single family. These areas are appropriate for residential infill and redevelopment that allows the 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 Mixed Residential land use intends to accommodate a walkable pattern of small lots, small blocks, and well-connected street pattern that supports surrounding neighborhoods. Developments in this district should prioritize a mix of housing types and scales located near community facilities or adjacent to commercial or neighborhood centers. The zoning districts that are generally appropriate Page 68 of 79 within this land use include middle housing, duplex, townhouse, and limited-scale single-family zoning. Rezoning to MH Middle Housing and HOO Occupancy Overlay is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it provides a variety of housing options and a good transition from the existing residential area of the Barracks to more intense urban developments along Rock Prairie Road and Wellborn Road. 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 townhomes to the northwest, west, and southwest, and undeveloped commercial land to the east. Development pressure continues to grow as new generations of students, young professionals, families, and seniors move to College Station. Allowing and encouraging infill development opportunities helps alleviate some of the pressure in the market. The Middle Housing zoning district enables the development of this lot at an appropriate scale, enabling the increase in residential density to this site. The residential and shared housing uses permitted in the MH Middle Housing and HOO High Occupancy Overlay zoning districts are appropriate in the context of the surrounding areas. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The location of the subject property makes it suitable for single-family houses, townhouses, duplexes, and multiplex uses, although due to the unique shape of the lot not being a rectangle with equal sides, some uses may not exactly fit lengthwise when taking into consideration right of way needed for an internal street. At the replatting stage, the applicant will determine the use and housing type after fully examining the dedication of the right-of-way and how it may change the lot dimensions. 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 are adequate to support the needs of this development. Drainage and any other infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and constructed following the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property fronts Old Wellborn Road and Tang Cake Drive. The lot is able to take access from either road although it may be preferred to utilize Tang Cake Drive as it is newer and in better condition. 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 states that as this tract does not have access to attract nor sustain a commercial development, it is not marketable with the current zoning.

The City of College Station recently created a use for medium density residential uses, or shared housing, that is permitted under the MH Middle Housing zoning district. The City has also created an overlay district called HOO High Occupancy Overlay which is intended to “accommodate increased residential occupancy through permitting of shared housing as a use.” This lot has remained undeveloped as a commercial property for almost 10 years due to poor access, which cannot be improved due to the fully developed housing surrounding this property and proximity to the railroad. As housing continues to be in demand, this property is better suited to serve as medium density housing. 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 indicates this property is designated for Mixed Residential. Mixed Residential is “appropriate for a mix of moderate density residential development including townhomes, duplexes, small multi- family buildings… These areas are appropriate for residential infill and redevelopment that allows original character to evolve.” There is a variety of housing densities and products in in this area of the city that the existing shared housing duplexes contributes toward, which 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? Most of the properties in the vicinity include medium density housing intended for student housing such as townhomes within the Barracks subdivision and various residential products zoned MH Middle Housing both with and without a HOO High Occupancy Overlay. The requested rezoning to MH Middle Housing with a HOO High Occupancy Overlay is compatible with the developing character of the neighborhood which supports medium density residential uses. Page 76 of 79 Page 2 of 2 Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. Middle housing uses, including shared housing, contribute to the desired mix of densities desired in the MH Middle Housing zoning district and Mixed Residential land use designation making this development very suitable for the property. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Commercial uses are not suitable for this property as businesses depend on convenient vehicular access and sufficient traffic counts to support commercial development. This tract has poor access from Old Wellborn Road and Tang Cake Drive, which do not carry enough traffic to support any commercial uses at this location. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. According to the PDD for the Barracks development, this tract is designated for commercial uses. This tract does not have access to attract nor sustain a commercial development. It is not marketable with the current zoning. List any other reasons to support this zone change. N/A Page 77 of 79
