DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Annexation:
1958 (front portion), 1971 (rear portion)
Zoning:
C -1 General Commercial (1991 front portion, 1995 rear portion);
part OV Corridor Overlay (1992)
Platting History:
The subject property was originally platted as a 26.53 -acre Lot 1,
Block 1 in 1999. In 2002, Lot 1 was subdivided by a replat into a
16.997 -acre Lot 1 A with the remainder divided into Lot 5A & Lot
9. In 2004, Lot 1 A was subdivided by replat into a 12.741 -acre
Lot 1 AR with the remaining acreage being divided into the Lot 8
and Lot 12. In 2005, Lot 1 AR and Lot 12 were combined and
divided by replat into a 11.78 -acre Lot 1 AR -1 and 2.62 -acre Lot
1 AR -2. In May 2007, Lot 1 AR -1 was subdivided by metes and
bounds into a 6.39 -acre portion and 5.39 -acre portion sold to
another entity. The proposed plat subdivides the 6.39 -acre
portion of Lot 1 AR -1 into a 1.38 -acre Lot 1 AR -1 A and 5.01 -acre
Lot 1 AR -1 B.
Site Development:
In 2008, a retail building was constructed on the lot within the
proposed Lot 1 AR -1 B area. The proposed Lot 1 AR -1 A consists
mostly of a vacant area behind the existing Texas Roadhouse
and Fish Daddy's restaurants that could be developed as a pad
site.
COMMENTS
Parkland Dedication: Parkland dedication is not required for non - residential projects.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: Unified Development Ordinance Section 3.3.A
Applicability defines when a plat is required. UDO Subsection 3.3.A.1.a.3 states a subdivision
plat is required when there is a "resubdivision of land that has previously been platted." As Lot
1AR -1 was divided by metes and bounds in 2007, a replat of the lot would be required to
legally create /recognize that division. A 5.39 -acre portion of Lot 1 AR -1, however, is not
included in the proposed replat and is currently under separate ownership. A determination
was made by the City's Legal Department that the applicant could proceed with the proposed
plat application, which represents only a portion of the Lot 1 AR -1 platted in 2005. In
accordance with that determination, the proposed plat conforms to the subdivision regulations
contained in the Unified Development Ordinance.

Staff recommends approval of the plat.

Final Plat: Unplatted.
Site development: Vacant.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as General Suburban, which is intended for detached single - family residential
development. The subject property is also in Growth Area V, which overlays the Land Use
designation. Growth areas allow for market flexibility to utilize alternative housing types while
maintaining the detached single - family residential atmosphere. To achieve this atmosphere,
developers are encouraged to provide features such as open space and buffer yards to
Planning & Zoning Commission
April 15, 2010
Page 4 of 7
52
offset the effects of differing housing types and to maintain an overall density similar to that
of a single - family detached neighborhood. Growth Area V does provide the flexibility to
include the use of townhome lots and the Concept Plan exhibits this use in a way that is
compliant with the intent of the designated land use. Although the proposed density is
slightly higher than would have been possible with only single - family detached dwellings, it
is compatible with an R -1 zoning district at just under 8 dwelling units per acre, while
providing a mix of single- family attached and detached residential options. To meet the
Comprehensive Plan requirement for open space, the applicant is proposing two open
areas; one located at the northeast corner of the development and the other located to serve
as a buffer between the proposed townhome lots and the existing single - family lots. The
latter open area is in a centralized location to most efficiently serve the overall development.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The current R -1 zoning district allows for a
detached single - family residential development which is compatible with the surrounding
conforming residential uses. The commercial development to the west is a combination of
conforming and non - conforming uses. The nearest townhouse development is the Barracks
Subdivision, east of Williamsgate Subdivision Phase 1, which is zoned R -3 and has a
density of approximately 11 dwelling units per acre. There are approximately 220 acres of
land in the direct vicinity of the subject property that hold a General Suburban land use
designation that remain undeveloped or underdeveloped.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: There are no
known physical hindrances on the land that prohibits development. It is Staff's opinion that
the proposed uses and density of the proposed development are appropriate and
compatible with the surrounding uses.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: There are
no physical hindrances on the land that prohibit development. By right, single family
detached is allowed on the property and would be a suitable use.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The subject
property was previously preliminary platted, along with Williamsgate Subdivision Phase 1,
for a detached single - family development. Phase 1 has been final platted and developed
according to the Preliminary Plat. At this time, Williamsgate Phase 1 is almost completely
built -out. The detached single - family lots shown on the original preliminary plat were
proposed to be around 7,400 square feet in area though by zoning could have been as
small as 5,000 square feet in area. The lots on in the proposed PDD rezoning average
approximately 5,500 square feet in area.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located within the
Wellborn S.U.D. service area. Wellborn S.U.D. is currently serving the surrounding tracts,
which have met the City's minimum fire flow requirements. The subject tract is located
adjacent to a 12 -inch City of College Station sanitary sewer main. The subject tract is
located in the Bee Creek Tributary "A" drainage basin and is not located within a FEMA
Regulated Special Flood Hazard Area. Any development of the subject tract will be required
to meet the City's Storm Water Design Guidelines. The subject tract will take access from
Planning & Zoning Commission

Rock Prairie Road West (a two -lane Major Collector — Suburban) and Keefer Loop (a Local
Street). It is also located within the Steeplechase - Wellborn Sewer Impact Fee Area.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the
proposed zoning district:
"To allow for 32 attached single - family lots and 38 detached single - family lots."
At the time of plat and building plans, the project will need to meet all applicable standards
required by the Unified Development Ordinance for R -1 and R -3 as appropriate. Staff is
currently undertaking an effort to create new zoning districts to implement the different character
areas envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. In the absence of a defined general suburban
zoning district, the applicant and Staff negotiated to achieve the desired development standards
while retaining the needed flexibility.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for 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: The Concept Plan proposes a
combination of detached and attached single - family uses. The combination of uses will
provide for expanded residential opportunity in the area. The surrounding developments on
the north side of Rock Prairie Road West include undeveloped land, agriculture related
commercial activity, storage units, detached single - family housing, and townhouses.
Though the current R -1 zoning allows for up to 8 detached single - family dwelling units per
acre, the applicant is requesting to provide a variety of dwelling opportunities while still
maintaining an overall density of 8 du /acre. In addition, the townhome lots have been
positioned internally to the site and provided with a buffer to the existing single - family units.
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: The proposed uses shown on the Concept
Plan are allowed in the General Suburban Growth Area V and the density is consistent with
the policies, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The City has a responsibility
to protect existing neighborhoods from undesirable and incompatible changes, erosion of
the existing residents' quality of life, and decreased property value. In response to this
concern, the applicant designed the development in a way to provide a transition of uses
from larger single - family lots to smaller single - family lots and from smaller single - family lots
to townhome lots.
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will
not adversely affect adjacent development: As mentioned earlier, the proposed
townhome lots have been positioned internally to the site and a buffer is provided to the
existing single - family units. Additionally, the proposed single - family lots are compatible in
size to the existing single - family lots they back up to. The development, as proposed, will
provide rear parking for all attached single - family units. The attached single - family lots will
have access to a private easement instead of a public alley, which passes along the rear of
each lot, creating an interior parking row. Locating the parking to the rear of the lots should
result in a development that, in appearance, is compatible with the existing development in
Williamsgate Phase 1.
Planning & Zoning Commission
April 15, 2010
Page 6 of 7
54
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: The proposed development has frontage on Rock Prairie Road West, and
proposes three additional new local street sections.
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but
not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities: The PDD development
proposes .28 acres of maintained open space with amenities such as benches, a walking
path, and landscaping. Sanitation will serve the residential units from the public road,
unless a pad site is built along the private access easement to hold a 300 - gallon container
that may be shared by several townhomes.
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity: Staff does not
believe that the proposed development will have injurious effects on the surrounding area.
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: There have been expressed
concerns from the existing abutting neighborhood regarding the increase in traffic that this
development would create. However, the existing R -1 zoning would allow for this property
to develop with a maximum of approximately 70 dwelling units. The proposed Concept Plan
shows an equal number of dwelling units. Therefore, when comparing the Concept Plan to
the estimated maximum of 70 dwelling units allowed under the R -1 zoning, there is change
in the anticipated traffic volume. Overall, the traffic volume generated by the proposed
development is approximately 550 vehicles trips per weekday.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the PDD with the aforementioned conditions.

Hi Lauren —
Thank you for sending me the pans for the development. My primary concern is twofold: First, this new
development is obviously meant for student housing, which will lower the property value of the existing single-
family homes in the current Williamsgate subdivision. Second, given that this is student housing, traffic will
increase even more through the subdivision as I see that the plan includes access to the new development by
way of Keefer L oop, There are currently eight families in williarnsgate with young children, including mine, and
I am concerned for their safety with the increased traffic flow. Originally when people began to build in
Wiliarnsgate it was understood that the "second phase" was also going to be single- family units. I understand
that the property has been sold to another developer, but this is still obviously a concern to those of us in the
original development who are trying to protect Our families and property value.
