Case #07- sooo~i ~LB~ • STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Lindsay Boyer Email: Iboyer@cstx.gov Project Number: 07-00500021 Report Date: March 7, 2007 Meeting Date: March 20, 2007 Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Single Family Residential, High Density to a mix of ._ _.. _ _._ _ _Neighborhopd Retail, Residen_tiel_Attached. and Planned Development consisting of 110 lots on 89.563 acres of the property generally surrounded by FM 2818, Holleman Drive West, Jones Butler Road, and Luther West. Applicant: City of College Station • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. Item Summary: The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is to bring the existing development into compliance with the plan. This area has been primarily developed as apartments, duplexes, and townhomes. There is also a small tract with a convenience center at the intersection of Holleman Drive East and FM 2818 (Rattlers). This area does not include the property developed as Walden Pond because it is currently zoned R-4 and reflected as Residential Attached on the Comprehensive Plan. The following chart breaks down the existing uses on the properties that were included in the study: . . Apartments 60.5 801 Commercial 2.1 N/A Duplexes 16.1 86 Townhomes 6 71 Vacant 4.9 N/A Total 89.6 958 • Item Background: This amendment is in response to the rezoning request for the Crawford Burnett tract which is also on the March 1 agenda. A larger area was incorporated with the intent to bring the entire area up to date. These properties were developed prior to the Comprehensive Plan being adopted as ordinance. Staff recommended approval for a number of multi-family rezonings in this area which resulted in the development of The Exchange, Fox Run Condos, and Melrose Apartments. The properties meet the City's development policies for the location of multi-family due to its proximity to the University and its frontage on Jones Butler, FM 2818, Luther West, and Holleman Drive East, all identified on the City's Thoroughfare Plan, however the Comprehensive Land Use Plan has never been amended to reflect these changes to the development pattern in this area. The following table identifies the existing zoning of the tracts included in the study: PDD, Planned Development District 28.3 R-1, Single Family Residential 2.0 R-2, Duplex 4.2 R-4, Multi-Famil 55.0 Total 89.56 The proposed amendment is for a mix of Residential Attached, Planned Development, and. Neighborhood Commercial. The following breaks down the proposed Land Use Plan Designations by acreage: Neighborhood Retail 2.9 Planned Development 28.3 Residential Attached 58.4 Total 89.6 The proposed amendment to the plan ultimately affects 4.9 vacant acres. 2 acres are zoned R-1 located in the middle of the block along Luther West, and the remaining 2.9 acres are zoned for R-4 located at the intersection of Luther West and Jones Butler. No existing development will become noncompliant because of the changes. • Staff is proposing to reflect the existing PDD zoning districts at the Rattler convenience Staff will be holding a neighborhood meeting on February 23~d to discuss the changes and provide an additional opportunity for public input. This input will be provided to the Commission at the March 20~h meeting. center and the Canyon Creek Townhome development as Planned Development because of the unique requirements for open space or buffering required in the ordinances that were adopted for these properties. The remaining PDD for the Exchange apartments did not have any unique requirements in the ordinance above anything that is currently required for new multi-family development, therefore Staff is recommending to amend this area to Residential Attached, along with the remainder of the property included in this study except for 2.9 acres at the intersection of Jones Butler and Luther West. Staff is recommending Neighborhood Retail at this location because of its size, and location at the intersection which both meet the policies in the Comprehensive Plan, as well as providing additional opportunity for small scale retail for this area without having to cross Wellborn or FM 2818. However, there is the opportunity to continue multi-family development at this intersection, and Residential Attached would be appropriate for this parcel as well. Budgetary and Financial Summary: N/A Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, which will be ultimately decided • by City Council. The Commission options are: • 1. Recommend approval of amendment as submitted; 2. Recommend denial; 3. Table indefinitely; or, 4. Defer action to a specified date.

Case #o~-soooo~ ~GW) • STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Grant Wencel Report Date: February 5, 2007 Email: owencel ancstx.gov Meeting Date: March 20, 2007 Project Number: 07-00500005 Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a rezoning from R-1, Single Family Residential to R-4, Multi-Family Residential for .52 acres, located at 701 Luther Street West, approximately one mile southeast of the Bush Presidential Library. Applicant: Sandra Novasad, owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. Item Summary: The existing zoning of R-1, Single Family Residential does not allow direct access from Luther Street West, which is a Major Collector Street. Therefore, the applicant is requesting this zoning change to R-4, which would allow direct access and the development of multi-family units. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: AComprehensive Plan Amendment is presently before the Planning & Zoning Commission of this area, requesting a change in the Land Use from Single Family Residential High Density to Residential Attached. The proposed amendment would more accurately correspond to the existing zoning, existing multi-family • developments, and the desired land use of the area. In addition, higher density housing in close proximity of Texas A & M provides convenient access, transportation alternatives, and an overall greater efficiency of infrastructure and development costs. With a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Residential Attached, the rezoning request to R-4 of this property would be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The property has frontage along Luther Street West, which is classified by the Thoroughfare Plan as a Major Collector Street. Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1970. The two vacant tracts exist within an area predominantly of multi-family developments on the southeast side of Luther Street West. The property is adjacent to Fox Run Condominiums to the southwest and Melrose Subdivision to the southeast which were developed in 1998. A vacant tract of 1.3 acres zoned R-1 lies to the northwest of the subject property. Texas A & M University owns the land to the northwest across Luther Street West. Commission Action Options: The Commission acts as a recommending body on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council. The Commission options are: 1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted; 2. Recommend denial; 3. Table indefinitely; or, 4. Defer action to a specified date. INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES • Water: Existing 16" water line along Luther Street West. • Sewer: Existing lines within adjacent multi-family developments to the south and east. Streets: The subject property is located adjacent to Luther Street West Off-site Easements: Off-site easements may be required, but have not been identified at this time.
