Hovde,Staff Planner lhovde@cstx.gov RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to Unified Development Ordinance Section 8.2.G “Blocks” and the proposed Final Plat. If the waiver is approved, the Plat may be approved. If the waiver is denied, the Plat must be denied. Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 1of 4 April 5, 2010 Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 2of 4 April 5, 2010 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: June 1995 Zoning: A-O Agricultural-Open upon Annexation PDD Planned Development District-April2010 Preliminary Plat: The subject tract is entirely surrounded by platted property and public right-of-way. A Preliminary Plan for thesubdivision of property was not required. Site Development: The existing single-family houses will be removed prior to on-site commercial development. COMMENTS Parkland Dedication: Dedication is not required for the platting of non-residential property. Greenways: There is notgreenway required or proposed with this development. Pedestrian Connectivity: Sidewalks are provided along the perimeter of the subject tract, as well as a pedestrian connection to the abutting residential uses to the south. These sidewalks are placed according to the approved PDD Planned Development District Concept Plan. Bicycle Connectivity: There is no bicycle connectivityrequired orproposed with this development. Impact Fees: N/A REVIEW CRITERIA Compliance with Subdivision Regulations :The Plat is in compliance with the approved Preliminary Planand the approved PDD Planned Development District zoning.The proposed Final Platisin compliance with the Subdivision Regulations contained in the Unified Section 8.2.G Development Ordinance, with the exception of the requested to waiver to “Blocks.” This ordinancerequires a public street every 900feet in General Suburbanareas. The applicant is requesting a block length waiver of 230feet along Wellborn Road due to the restricted access to TxDOT right-of-way. Also, the abutting property is platted and would be unable to connect to any additional street. In accordance with the UDO Subdivision Requirements, when considering a waiver, the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver (Staff findings are in italics below): 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; Apublic street would reduce the buildable area on the triangular-shaped subject tract to the extent that it could no longer be utilized as proposed by the PDD Planned Development District zoning. In addition, a street would only provide access to this Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 3of 4 April 5, 2010 property as the adjoining subdivision is developed and a street connection to it is not possible. 2)That the waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; The waiver regarding the extension of public right-of-way isnecessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right since the development is the remnant of an originally larger tract that has already been developedand the configuration of the property is such that street access through it would not meet minimum street spacing standards. 3)That the granting of the waiver will not be detrimental tothe 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 requested waiver will not have negative impacts on public health safety, welfare, or surrounding properties due to the previously developed state of the surrounding properties. The location and configuration of the subject tract is not conducive to the extension of a public street that would connect Wellborn Road to William D. Fitch Parkway. The tract is located at the intersection of these roads which is anticipated as shown on the College Station Thoroughfare Plan to havea future grade separation. A street in this location does not meet TxDOT or City spacing requirements andwould add an additional point of conflict that would be contrary to public safety. 4)That 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 this chapter. The granting of the requested waiver will not prevent future orderly subdivisions in the area, as all abutting property is platted. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to Unified Development Ordinance Section 8.2.G “Blocks” and the proposed Final Plat. If the waiver is approved, the Plat may be approved. If the waiver is denied, the Plat must be denied.

Hovde,Staff Planner lhovde@cstx.gov OVERVIEW: This request is to use the PDD Planned Development District to strive toward the creation of an Urban environment for a multi- family development, while seeking compatibility with the existing residential neighborhood. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request based on its consistencywith the Comprehensive Plan and Eastgate Neighborhood Plan. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 1of 8 April 5, 2012 Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 2of 8 April 5, 2012 Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 3of 8 April 5, 2012 NOTIFICATIONS Advertised Commission Hearing Date:April 5,2012 Advertised Council Hearing Dates: April 26, 2012 The following neighborhood organizations that are registered with the City of College Station’s Neighborhood Services have received a courtesy letter of notification of this public hearing: College Hills Estates HomeownersAssociation was consulted during the creation of the proposed zoning district. The Association had the opportunity to comment on the architecture of the building and layout of the site. Property owner notices mailed: 15 Contacts in support:None. Contacts in opposition:Two, both calls were in general opposition to the density which is allowed by right under the existing R-6 High- Density Multi-Family Residential zoning. Inquiry contacts:One for a general inquiry of what the project involved.

REVIEW CRITERIA 1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The proposed zoning is consistentwith the Urban Redevelopment land use designation found in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The designation language of the Community Character Chapter states that such a designation should be used to accommodate intense development activity including townhouses, duplexes, and high-density apartments. As part of the Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 4of 8 April 5, 2012 Redevelopment designation, the Comprehensive Plan requires careful site planning and building design to complement the existing neighborhood.The Eastgate Neighborhood Plan specifies that there is a need to “promote redevelopment around the perimeter of the neighborhood that meets community needs and is complimentary to the neighborhood.” The Plan also describes that the purposeof a PDD Planned Development Districtis to promote and encourage innovative development that issensitive to surrounding land uses. In addition, the Plan discusses increasing the density in the core or College Station to reduce pressure on greenfield development for apartments and other student-oriented rentals toward the fringe of the City. 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: Most of the properties that abut Foster Avenue on the east and west side, including the subject lots, are zoned R-6 High-Density Multi- Family. The properties along this portion of the west side of Foster Avenue aredesignated as Urban Redevelopment in the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map. As described above, this designation specifically promotes multi-family development.The east side of Foster Avenue is designated as Neighborhood Conservation. The lot directly across Foster Avenue from the subject lots is zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential. This indicates the City and resident’s desire forthe character and integrity ofthe neighborhood to be continued in the current or an improved fashion. Redevelopment activity proposed along the west side of Foster Avenue must taken into considerationthe existing neighborhood and special attention is required to ensure compatibilitybetween the different land uses and densities. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The Unified Development Ordinancestates that dense multi-family development should occur within closeproximityto the Texas A&M University campus. Being located across from campus andwithin the first block off of Texas Avenue, the intensity of development in this location is anticipatedto be higher. This is contrasted by the need for appropriatedevelopment that abuts the existing single-family neighborhood. The proposed PDD Planned Development District allows for the density which is appropriate for the location while incorporating additional elements, discussed in the later portion of this report, that increase the compatibility with the neighborhood. 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: The PDD Planned Development District will allow for the development of high-density multi-family housing. The same use is permitted under the current R-6 High-Density Multi-Family zoning district. The existing use on the property is anapartment complexdeveloped at 12.3units per acre. 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 current zoning district of R-6 High-Density Multi-Family allows for a viable use that has been in operation for several decades. The apartment building currently has 9units. As visible from the number of registered rental units in the Eastgate neighborhood, there is a market for student rentals in this area due to the convenient distance to campus. The marketability is increased by the proposed PDD Planned Development District, due to the requested meritorious modifications, because of a higher achievable unitcount than with a R-6 High- Density Multi-Family district. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 5of 8 April 5, 2012 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilitiesgenerally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 2-inch, 6-inch, and 8- inchwater lines available to serve this property. At site development, further analysis of existing waterline capacity will be required and improvements to the existing water system may be necessary to support domestic and fire flow demands. There is also an existing 12- inch sanitary sewer line along Foster Ave. which may provide service to this site. Drainage is mainly to the south within the Wolf Pen Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage and other public infrastructure improvements required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure, with the possible exception of the current water system, appears to be adequate for the proposed use.The proposed development will be allowed a single point of access from Foster Avenue. REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed zoning district: “To provide a sustainable, pedestrian and bicycle-friendly multi-family development that responds to demands for the College Station community and that meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan. The PDD zoning will encourage responsible redevelopment of the site in a manner that is compatible with the existing character of the Eastgate neighborhood and one that sets the tone for future redevelopment nearby.” Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications The applicant is proposing to develop using the R-6 High-Density Multi-Familyzoning classification standards for the requested PDD. At the time of site plan, the project will need to meet all applicable site development standards of the UDO for the R-6 High-Density Multi- Family zoning classification, except where meritorious modifications are granted with the PDD zoning. The applicant is requesting the following meritorious modifications: 1.UDO Section 5.2“Residential Dimensional Standards”: A reduction in the building setbacks will promote an Urban environment and allows the parking to be placed in a less obtrusive locationsto enable thedevelopment to be more compatible with the neighborhood. Requested Dimension Standard R-6Dimension 10 feet Front Setback (Foster)15 feet 10 feet Street Side Setback (Francis)15 feet 1.5 feet Rear Setback (Chili’s)20 feet 2.UDO Section 7.2.I“Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required” The number of parking spaces required by the Unified Development Ordinance is determined by The applicant is the number of bedrooms per dwelling unit and the size of said bedrooms. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 6of 8 April 5, 2012 requestingto supply 75% of the parking requirement found in Section 7.2.I of the Unified Development Ordinance. The development will consist primarily of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units which require additional parking per bedroom than3-bedroom or 4-bedroom units. The reduction in parking allows the development toachieve a high number of units while reducing the visibility of cars. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for PDD Concept Plans: 1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustainedstability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area: An increase in density on the subject property will broaden the housing choices for renters in the Eastgate Area. By placing the development within close proximity to campus, the resident dependency on vehicles to access the Universitywill decrease.Residentsmay instead utilize alternative means of transportation such as biking and walking.In addition, the College Hills Estates HomeownersAssociation was consulted on the site layout and building design. The tallest portion of the building will be located at the core, defined as 30 feet from the abutting rights-of-way,of the lot and will be a maximum of 50-feet in height (four stories). The perimeter of the building will bea maximum of 35-feet in height (three stories). 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 Concept Plan reflects the policies, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to land use and character, connectivity, and neighborhood integrity. The Urbandesignation in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map is intended for areas that include multi-family residential housing, as proposed with this PDD. The Bicycle, Pedestrian, Greenways Master Plan is being followed with the proposed sidewalksalong Foster Avenue and Francis Drive. Bicycle parking facilitiesare also proposed at a ratio of one space per bedroom which is not a requirement for multi-family development. In addition, several components are proposed to promote and protect neighborhood integrity. a) Utilize architectural materials ofhardi-board and brickto mimicexisting architecture. b) Provide one bicycle parking space per bedroom. c) Limit apartment signage to the low-profile option. d) Provide 8-foot wide sidewalks along Foster Avenue and Francis Drive. 3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development: The redevelopment of this tract will encourage future development within the area designated as Redevelopment in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. There is apotential to relieve some rental pressure from the area designated as Neighborhood Conservation, which could encourage apotential increase in owner-occupied units withinthe Eastgate neighborhood by providing alternative rental options in the area. The lessened parking requirement and the location of parking to theside and rear of the building will reduce the visible impact ofa parking lot on the adjacent land uses and pass-by traffic. 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 development will have a single point of access to Foster Avenue. Sidewalks will be provided along Foster Avenue and Francis Drive. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 7of 8 April 5, 2012 5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities: New public infrastructure is limited to the addition of 8-foot wide sidewalks along both Foster Avenue and Francis Drive within the bounds of thesubject property. 6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity: The proposed development has the potential of promoting public health by encourage walking and bicycling as a means of transportation among its residents. This encouragement is in the form of ample bicycle parking, and the addition of sidewalks along Foster Avenue and Francis Drive. 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: The intent of providing walking and bicycle facilities within the property is to reduce the number of vehicular tripsnecessary for residents. The availability of campus, retail shopping, and dining within a close proximity of the sitehelpsalternative means of transportation more likely.

Use Table of the Unified Development Ordinance. If P-MUD: Approximate percentage of residential land uses: Approximate percentage of non-residential land uses: REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. List the changed or changing conditions In the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. As the College Station multifamily market has expanded in recent years, an oversupply of 3 and 4 bedroom rental units has been created. in response to that oversupply and to meet the specific needs of a niche market, we are proposing a development with a unit mix that contains more 1 and 2 bedroom units than what is typically seen in College Station. The zone change is in response to the parking needs of a development with this unit mix inside the Eestgate redevelopment zone. 10110 Page 2 of 7 2. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. This zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan. Both plans designate this area as a Redevelopment zone and promote responsible multifamily redevelopment around the perimeter of the Eastgate neighborhood. The Eastgate area is a hot rental area, and our project will help pull single-family renters out of the neighborhood core into the fringes, reducing the stress on the internal transportation and parking infrastructure and helping accomplish the goals of both the Comprehensive Plan and Eastgate Neighborhood Plan. 3, How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? See attached "Application Details". 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The property suitable for multifamily uses as described in the PDD due to its adjacency to existing restaurants, proximity to the Texas A&M campus (< 400 feet), proximity to 3 major retail centers (< 1/2 mile), and location within en area that is currently composed of mostly rental housing. Many existing residential units in the area are being renovated as part of an overall redeveloprent push. Landscaping in the setbacks will separate the building from the existing residential units to the north. Adequate utilities are present for the proposed scale of development, and we will limit street access to one location along Foster Avenue. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Because the multifamily uses proposed in this PDD are the same as what is currently permitted under R-6, the answer in #4 above applies here as well. In addition, the property has the potential to seive as a great buffer to the traffic and commercial intensities along Texas Avenue. Multifamily development is appropriate as it is the best available development tool to transition between the commercial and single-family uses. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Again, we believe there is an oversupply of 3 and 4 bedrooms (with lower parking ratios) in the market. As a pure R-6 development, the marketability and feasibility of the property is reduced as a result of the UDO's regulation of parking. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. in general, supporting this zone change will enable the developer to create alternative housing choices in Eastgate which will draw renters out of less appropriate neighborhood core (thereby reducing traffic and noise impacts in the heart of the neighborhoods. For more details on site specific additions, please see attached "Community Benefits". 10110 Page 3 of 7 8. State the purpose and intent of the proposed development. To provide a sustainable, pedestrian and bicycle -friendly redevelopment site that responds to demands of the College Station community and that meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, The PDD zoning will encourage responsible development of the site in a manner Chet is compatible with the existing character of the Eastgate neighborhood and one that sets the tone for future redevelopment nearby. CONCEPT PLAN SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. What Is the range of future building heights? Future building heights will range from /2' /o 50'. Heights above 35' will be restricted to the core of the property (except for the stairwell access area as shown on the Concept Plan), defined as the area of property 30' off the right -of --way of Foster Avenue to the rear setback, and 30' off Francis Lane to the side setback. See "Building Height & Massing" under Application Details. 2. Provide a general statement regarding the proposed drainage. Drainage of the site is proposed to be underground and within future landscaped and parking areas on the site. 3. List the general bulk or dimensional variations sought. See attached. q, If variations are sought, please provide a list of community benefits and/or innovative design concepts to justify the request. See attached. 10110 Page 4 of 7 5. Explain how the concept plan proposal will constitute and environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area. The concept plan proposal promotes responsible development of residential apartments in an area just feet from Texas A&M, retail, office, and restaurants. Access to the property will be limited to one drive off Foster Avenue, reducing conflict points and congestion on the main interior artery into Eastgate. Because of the site's proximity to campus, we're including an abundance of bicycle racks, which will encourage the use of bicycles as the means of primary transportation. This will reduce the potential traffic impacts on the area and help maintain the character of the neighborhood. Our project will puff renters out of the core of the Eastgate neighborhood, improving current traffic conditions and noise concerns in the area, creating a more harmonious and sustainable development. 6. Explain how the proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and the more specific Eastgate Neighborhood Plan's goals for the area. it lays the foundation for a responsible, urban, pedestrian and bicycle -friendly, residential redevelopment in an area just feet from the front door of Texas A&M. The plan takes into account the existing character of the neighborhood, and provides an appropriate, transitional development between commercial uses to the west and residential rentals to the east Our focus is providing high -quality housing options that enhance the overall quality -of -life experience in the Eastgate neighborhood. 7. Explain how the concept plan proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development. This proposal will raise the bar for redevelopment in the area, and is corpelible with permitted uses on abutting sites. Properties to the west are commercial, and will benefit from the increased number of residents in the area. Properties to the north, south and east are predominantly small lot residential rentals, and most structures are in need of renovation or redevelopment This proposal paves the way forhigh-quality, new construction in an area that needs revitalization. Overall, the project should serve to lessen the existing strain on Eastgate's core traffic and parking infrastructure by pulling those residents from the core of Eastgate to its fringe. For specific architectural elements, please see the attached Application Details. 6. State how dwelling units shall have access to a public street if they do not front on a public street. Units will be accessed by vehicles through the driveway on Foster Avenue. Parking will be provided on the ground level, and residents will have access to the building via stairs. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to access the building at locations along Francis Street. g, State how the development has provided adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to: parks, schools, and other public facilities. The development will meet all UDO requirements for public improvements, and will also add 8' sidewalks within the public right-of-way along our property lines. ,4t-p-ntt-of the project; -we will also st ipethecrosswalks at -Foster Avenue & Francis -Street that are -adjacent to our property.( -crosswalks), 10/10 Page 5 of 7 40. Explain hew the concept plan proposal will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, Our plan enhances the area by providing a high -qualify alternative housing option close to campus. We've paid close attention to resident and neighborhood safety, and provide adequate access points in/out of the development. The building's design elements (as described in the attached Application Details) were developed to ensure conformity with the existing Eastgate neighborhood and safety amongst its residents. 11. Explain how the concept plan proposal 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 reasonable anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses In the area. Through thoughtful and responsible planning, our project takes into account the increases in pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic caused by our development. By encouraging the use of bicycles and the University bus system (Reveille and Excel lines), our project reduces the impact on the existing public infrastructure and will not be detrimental to the pubic. Existing bus stops are at Campus View Apartments (G. Bush & University Oaks and Foster/Lincoln intersection (1500' away). Pease note that a "complete site plan" must be submitted to Planning & Development Services for a formal review after the "concept plan" has been approved by the City Council prior to the issuance of a building permit - except for single- family development. The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct, and complete. IF THIS APPLICATION IS FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE. PROPERTY, this application must be accompanied by a power of attorney statement from the owner. If there is more than one owner; all owners must sign the application or the power of attorney. If the owner is a company, the application must be accompanied by proof of authority for the company's representative to sign the application on its behalf.

The project will use non-polluting lighting fixtures that will not allow light to filter into the neighborhood and allow the project remain compatible with its surroundings. Foster Avenue Aartiments Application Details: Question 3,Pa e 3 - The uses identified by this zone change request are identical to those allowed by the current zoning designation, R-6. Our team has studied the architectural styles of neighborhood, and is proposing a development that conforms to existing aesthetics and the community character of the Eastgate neighborhood. We plan to accomplish conformity through the following: Building Height & Massing: Portions of the building that front Foster Avenue and Francis Street will be limited to 3 stories (35' in height). The portion of the building at the care of the property will be limited to 4 stories (50' in height), Building Elements: The building will incorporate architectural elements and materials that mimic the original and historical elements of the Eastgate neighborhood. These elements include the use of brick and wood -style (hardi) siding. Also, in lieu of a freestanding apartment identification sign (allowed in R-6 up to 10' in height), the project will incorporate just 1 low profile monument sign. These architectural design elements of the project will be compatible with, and will &so enhance, the existing character of the neighborhood. In addition to a focus on architectural elements, the project places strong emphasis on creating a pedestrian and bicycle -friendly environment. Because of the site's close proximity to the Texas A&M campus and local retail, we believe residents will take advantage of the opportunity to walk and bike from home. a,.

List the changed or changing conditions In the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. As the College Station multifamily market has expanded in recent years, an oversupply of 3 and 4 bedroom rental units has been created. in response to that oversupply and to meet the specific needs of a niche market, we are proposing a development with a unit mix that contains more 1 and 2 bedroom units than what is typically seen in College Station. The zone change is in response to the parking needs of a development with this unit mix inside the Eestgate redevelopment zone. 10110 Page 2 of 7 2. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. This zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan. Both plans designate this area as a Redevelopment zone and promote responsible multifamily redevelopment around the perimeter of the Eastgate neighborhood. The Eastgate area is a hot rental area, and our project will help pull single-family renters out of the neighborhood core into the fringes, reducing the stress on the internal transportation and parking infrastructure and helping accomplish the goals of both the Comprehensive Plan and Eastgate Neighborhood Plan. 3, How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? See attached "Application Details". 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The property suitable for multifamily uses as described in the PDD due to its adjacency to existing restaurants, proximity to the Texas A&M campus (< 400 feet), proximity to 3 major retail centers (< 1/2 mile), and location within en area that is currently composed of mostly rental housing. Many existing residential units in the area are being renovated as part of an overall redeveloprent push. Landscaping in the setbacks will separate the building from the existing residential units to the north. Adequate utilities are present for the proposed scale of development, and we will limit street access to one location along Foster Avenue. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Because the multifamily uses proposed in this PDD are the same as what is currently permitted under R-6, the answer in #4 above applies here as well. In addition, the property has the potential to seive as a great buffer to the traffic and commercial intensities along Texas Avenue. Multifamily development is appropriate as it is the best available development tool to transition between the commercial and single-family uses. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Again, we believe there is an oversupply of 3 and 4 bedrooms (with lower parking ratios) in the market. As a pure R-6 development, the marketability and feasibility of the property is reduced as a result of the UDO's regulation of parking. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. in general, supporting this zone change will enable the developer to create alternative housing choices in Eastgate which will draw renters out of less appropriate neighborhood core (thereby reducing traffic and noise impacts in the heart of the neighborhoods. For more details on site specific additions, please see attached "Community Benefits". 10110 Page 3 of 7 8. State the purpose and intent of the proposed development. To provide a sustainable, pedestrian and bicycle -friendly redevelopment site that responds to demands of the College Station community and that meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, The PDD zoning will encourage responsible development of the site in a manner Chet is compatible with the existing character of the Eastgate neighborhood and one that sets the tone for future redevelopment nearby. CONCEPT PLAN SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. What Is the range of future building heights? Future building heights will range from /2' /o 50'. Heights above 35' will be restricted to the core of the property (except for the stairwell access area as shown on the Concept Plan), defined as the area of property 30' off the right -of --way of Foster Avenue to the rear setback, and 30' off Francis Lane to the side setback. See "Building Height & Massing" under Application Details. 2. Provide a general statement regarding the proposed drainage. Drainage of the site is proposed to be underground and within future landscaped and parking areas on the site. 3. List the general bulk or dimensional variations sought. See attached. q, If variations are sought, please provide a list of community benefits and/or innovative design concepts to justify the request. See attached. 10110 Page 4 of 7 5. Explain how the concept plan proposal will constitute and environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area. The concept plan proposal promotes responsible development of residential apartments in an area just feet from Texas A&M, retail, office, and restaurants. Access to the property will be limited to one drive off Foster Avenue, reducing conflict points and congestion on the main interior artery into Eastgate. Because of the site's proximity to campus, we're including an abundance of bicycle racks, which will encourage the use of bicycles as the means of primary transportation. This will reduce the potential traffic impacts on the area and help maintain the character of the neighborhood. Our project will puff renters out of the core of the Eastgate neighborhood, improving current traffic conditions and noise concerns in the area, creating a more harmonious and sustainable development. 6. Explain how the proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and the more specific Eastgate Neighborhood Plan's goals for the area. it lays the foundation for a responsible, urban, pedestrian and bicycle -friendly, residential redevelopment in an area just feet from the front door of Texas A&M. The plan takes into account the existing character of the neighborhood, and provides an appropriate, transitional development between commercial uses to the west and residential rentals to the east Our focus is providing high -quality housing options that enhance the overall quality -of -life experience in the Eastgate neighborhood. 7. Explain how the concept plan proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development. This proposal will raise the bar for redevelopment in the area, and is corpelible with permitted uses on abutting sites. Properties to the west are commercial, and will benefit from the increased number of residents in the area. Properties to the north, south and east are predominantly small lot residential rentals, and most structures are in need of renovation or redevelopment This proposal paves the way forhigh-quality, new construction in an area that needs revitalization. Overall, the project should serve to lessen the existing strain on Eastgate's core traffic and parking infrastructure by pulling those residents from the core of Eastgate to its fringe. For specific architectural elements, please see the attached Application Details. 6. State how dwelling units shall have access to a public street if they do not front on a public street. Units will be accessed by vehicles through the driveway on Foster Avenue. Parking will be provided on the ground level, and residents will have access to the building via stairs. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to access the building at locations along Francis Street. g, State how the development has provided adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to: parks, schools, and other public facilities. The development will meet all UDO requirements for public improvements, and will also add 8' sidewalks within the public right-of-way along our property lines. ,4t-p-ntt-of the project; -we will also st ipethecrosswalks at -Foster Avenue & Francis -Street that are -adjacent to our property.( -crosswalks), 10/10 Page 5 of 7 40. Explain hew the concept plan proposal will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, Our plan enhances the area by providing a high -qualify alternative housing option close to campus. We've paid close attention to resident and neighborhood safety, and provide adequate access points in/out of the development. The building's design elements (as described in the attached Application Details) were developed to ensure conformity with the existing Eastgate neighborhood and safety amongst its residents. 11. Explain how the concept plan proposal 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 reasonable anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses In the area. Through thoughtful and responsible planning, our project takes into account the increases in pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic caused by our development. By encouraging the use of bicycles and the University bus system (Reveille and Excel lines), our project reduces the impact on the existing public infrastructure and will not be detrimental to the pubic. Existing bus stops are at Campus View Apartments (G. Bush & University Oaks and Foster/Lincoln intersection (1500' away). Pease note that a "complete site plan" must be submitted to Planning & Development Services for a formal review after the "concept plan" has been approved by the City Council prior to the issuance of a building permit - except for single- family development. The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct, and complete. IF THIS APPLICATION IS FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE. PROPERTY, this application must be accompanied by a power of attorney statement from the owner. If there is more than one owner; all owners must sign the application or the power of attorney.

Off -Street parking facilities shall meet 75% of the number of specified parking space requirements of Section 7.2.i. Community Benefits: 1. Because this site is already zoned for R-6 multifamily, we believe that our willingness to expend the resources required to provide a thoughtful, neighborhood -driven, architecturally - appropriate design has been an overall community benefit. 2. This development provides an alternate housing choice for residential renters in the Eastgate neighborhood. This attraction of renters from the core portions of the neighborhood to the fringe will ease traffic and parking infrastructure impacts and enable a safer, sustainable, family - conducive environment within Eastgate. 3. The development provides 8.01 sidewalks, not required in this area per the UDO. 4_,-..

Utilization of sound redevelopment design principles including urban, pedestrian and bicycle - oriented development. These principles are endorsed by the US Green Building Council and our Comprehensive and Strategic Plans as a manner to reduce our overall carbon footprint and encourage a healthier, more vibrant cornmunity. 7. The project will use non-polluting lighting fixtures that will not allow light to filter into the neighborhood and allow the project remain compatible with its surroundings. Foster Avenue Aartiments Application Details: Question 3,Pa e 3 - The uses identified by this zone change request are identical to those allowed by the current zoning designation, R-6. Our team has studied the architectural styles of neighborhood, and is proposing a development that conforms to existing aesthetics and the community character of the Eastgate neighborhood. We plan to accomplish conformity through the following: Building Height & Massing: Portions of the building that front Foster Avenue and Francis Street will be limited to 3 stories (35' in height). The portion of the building at the care of the property will be limited to 4 stories (50' in height), Building Elements: The building will incorporate architectural elements and materials that mimic the original and historical elements of the Eastgate neighborhood. These elements include the use of brick and wood -style (hardi) siding. Also, in lieu of a freestanding apartment identification sign (allowed in R-6 up to 10' in height), the project will incorporate just 1 low profile monument sign. These architectural design elements of the project will be compatible with, and will &so enhance, the existing character of the neighborhood. In addition to a focus on architectural elements, the project places strong emphasis on creating a pedestrian and bicycle -friendly environment. Because of the site's close proximity to the Texas A&M campus and local retail, we believe residents will take advantage of the opportunity to walk and bike from home.

A Preliminary Plat was originallyapproved on the subject propertyforOakland Ridge Subdivisionin2007. Final Plat: This phase of University Height has not been final platted. Site development: Vacant. REVIEW CRITERIA 1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The R-4 Multi-Family Residential zoning request is consistentwith the Future Land Use and Character Map that designates this property as Urban. An Urban land use designation is for areas intended for intense development activities such as townhomes, duplexes, and apartments, all of which are allowed in the R-4 zoning district. The subject tract and all abutting properties are designated as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. In addition, the subject tract is bordered on the east side by Holleman Drive South, designated as afuture 4-Lane Major Collector, though it is currently built as a 2-lane rural roadway. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 4of 6 April 5, 2012 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: Surrounding development includes future townhouse and detached single-family, existing duplex housing, and several existing single-family residential uses. The property immediately south of the subject tract is designated as Urban, and is currently developed as Las Palomas Subdivision, a duplex development. The land use to the east (across Holleman Drive South) is vacant property and asingle- family house with an A-O Agricultural-Open zoning. To the south, the Las Palomas duplex subdivision is also zoned A-O Agricultural-Open. The property to the west, was zoned R-4 Multi-Family Residentialin 2008 at the same time the property north of the subject tract was zoned R-3 Townhouse. Also in the area are duplexes along Cain Road and future townhouses as part of the planned Barracks development. In general, the zoning request is compatible with the existing and planneddevelopments in the area. The proposed R-4 zoning district, which allows townhomes, duplexes, and apartments, will allow a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre. This will expandthe abuttingR-4 zoning in the preliminary platted University Oaks Subdivision. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The suitability of the proposed R-4 zoning linked to the surrounding land uses being of a similar nature, both multi-family and duplex housing. The surrounding area is anticipated to havedevelopment for student and rental housing, which is consistent with the plans for this portion of the University Heights Subdivision. 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: The current zoning of the property, A-O Agricultural-Open, is not suitable for the subject tract. It is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Planland use designation of Urban, and is not compatible with the surrounding zoningdistricts.Due to its size, the subject tract development is limited to one single-family residential lot or a variety of agricultural related land uses. This type of development is not suitable for the property due to the intensity of the adjacent land uses. 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 marketability of the subject tract is broad due to itslocation and access to Holleman Drive South. Development in the immediate vicinity ranges from an estate scale to multi- family residential. Staff does not believe themarketability of the subject tract is limited to multi-family residential, but is aware that an A-O Agricultural-Open zoning is not a viable zoning for the development of the subject tract due to its size and surrounding uses. 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 Special Utility District waterservice area. Future platting and development of the tract will have to provide adequate fire flow to support the proposed use. Planning and Zoning CommissionPage 5of 6 April 5, 2012 The subject tract is located just north of a 12-inch sanitary sewer main as itcrosses Holleman DriveSouthand heads east, this linegravity flows into the Bee Creek TrunkLine. This respectivetrunk line's sub-basin currently serves many developments alongHarvey Mitchell Parkway, from areas east of Wellborn Road, to the Carters Creek Wastewater TreatmentPlant. Much of the existing trunk line was constructed in 1973 and was shown to haveseveral surchargingline segments in the 2011 HDR Sanitary Sewer Collection System Master Plan Update. The City is currently inthe process of initializing a CapitalImprovement Project in anticipation of the ultimate build-out demand anticipated for thesubject sewer shed area.The subject tract is not located within a FEMA regulatedSpecial Flood Hazard Area. Development of the subject tract requiresmitigation ofpost development flows and followsthe BCS Storm Water Design Guidelines. The subjecttract is located adjacent toHolleman Drive, a 4-Lane Major Collector -Suburban Context, on theCity's Thoroughfare Plan.The tract is also located adjacent to Kenyon Drive and the future extension of Los Portales Drive,both of which are local streets. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the zoning request based on its consistencywith the Comprehensive Plan and existing or planned use of the surrounding properties.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. Phase 1 of the University Heights Development is now complete and homes and townhomes for student living will be under construction soon. The recent re -zoning of 10 acres to the south of this tract to R-4 multi -family residential indicates the market needs higher density residential in this area. The kl'gher.derrsity multi -family residential use is buffered from single-famlly residences by Holleman Drive South to the east, the duplexes to the south, future multi -family to the west and townhomes to the north. 2. 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 future land use and character map that designates this property as urban. An urban land use designation is for areas intended for intense development activities such as townhomes, duplexes, and apartments, all of which are allowed in the RI zoning district. 4 3, 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 is A-0 on the existing duplex development, Los Palomas, because the development existed prior to annexation. The current zoning to the west is F3-4 multi -family and the currenjzoning to the north is R-3 townhomes. All of these uses are allowed in R The owner is requesting Raning so that there can be even more diversity in the types of student living choices in this area. The closest single-family residential tots to this property am in Phase 1 of the University Heights subdivision and these dwellings will be marketed to students. This zone change will be in character with the existing neighborhood which is primarily student occupied residential dwellings. 10/10 Page 2 of 3 4, Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. This property is part of the ongoing University Heights development and already has the access and utility infrastructure in place for the requested zoning. Access will be from Kenyon Drive or the future extension of Los Portales Drive. The property will have public right-of-way on 3 sides and duplex development on the other side. The lack of adjacent uses that could be affected by this use makes the proposed zoning ideal for this tract. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district, The property Is not suitable for A-0 zoning since a single residential lot is one of the few uses that is allowed !n this district and that use would not be suitable for this location. 8. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Thera is no marketability of the property for the uses allowed in the current 4-0 zoning. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. This location has adequate access to TAMU via Holleman Drive South and Its proximity to the TAMU campus has led to the ongoing development of student housing to this area. The re -zoning would allow for a small !' ` development which would provide another option for student living In the area. er 1.1,14`- The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct, and complete.

ZONING HISTORY In June 2011, the property was rezoned from A-O Agricultural Open to PDD Planned Development District and included a mix of commercial and single-family attached (townhome) and single-family detached residences. The original proposal included a wake board ski facility within two of the detention pond areas. At the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council meetings concerns were expressed about the proposed wake board facilities, specifically regarding light, noise, buffers and whether the use was appropriate for the area. City Council approved the rezoning with the condition that the wakeboard use be removed. Since that time, a Preliminary Plan has been approved for the development along with a Final Plat for the first phase of the development. Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 4of 10 April 5, 2012 The developer is requesting the rezoning amendment to provide additional uses, which include a recreational center with a commercial wake board ski facility, administrative offices, a maximum 3,500 square foot restaurant, and retail sales related to the wakeboard facility. Additionally, the rezoning revises the original approved layout to incorporate an open waterway/drainage easement through the center of the development, which results in a reduction in the numberof townhomes from the original proposal and some rearrangement of streets and alleys. Some aspects of the site layout modifications are due in part to the requirements of the US Army Corpsof Engineers, as the developer is proposing to preserve additional stretches of the existing natural channel. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: 3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: 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: 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 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as General Suburban and is located in Growth Area 5. It states that the area between Cain Road and Rock Prairie Road should be used for General Suburban activities, including high-density single-family lots (minimum 5,000 square feet), townhomes, duplexes, as well as suburban or neighborhood commercial and office uses. The property is currently zoned PDD Planned Development District, allowing for a mixture of single-family residences, offices and commercial development. Residential uses are capped at a proposed density of 8.45 units per acre and will continue the type of residential development immediately to the south of the subject property, which are zoned and developed for single- family residences and townhomes. These properties include The Barracks, a townhome development, as well asthe Williamsgate and Buena Vida subdivisions that are zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential. Commercial uses are primarily proposed to be located along Old Wellborn Road, which is parallel to the existing railroad tracks. Through the PDD, additional controls are being applied that address issues related to architectural design, size, scale, and buffering as well other specific items. Additional uses beyond what are currently allowed under the C-3 Neighborhood Commercial designation were approved with the original rezoning. These uses include a shooting range- indoor, car wash, commercial garden/greenhouse/landscape maintenance, commercial amusement, office and retail sales/service with storage areas being greater than 50% of the space, and self-storage allowing the storage of equipment, materials, recreational vehicles, or boats in buildings with at least three enclosed sides. As mentioned previously, additional Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 5of 10 April 5, 2012 standards have been included to address issues of design, size, scale and buffering. Additionally,a couple of the proposed uses are presently allowed to some degree under a general C-3 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district. This includes commercial amusement, which is allowed under a Conditional Use Permit, and self-storage without the storage of equipment and vehicles outside. The proposed revised PDD zoning includes the addition of commercial amusement uses and water recreation activities that include a commercial wakeboard ski facility, administrative offices, a maximum 3,500 square foot restaurant, and retail sales related to the wakeboard facility. The applicant has stated that the proposed additional uses are to increase the marketability of the property. A landscaped buffer between the recreation center and property to the north is proposed and includes plantings that shall provide 100% opacity to a height of at least 8-feet. Lighting will be in accordance with the Unified Development Standards. The proposed hours of operation for the wakeboard ski facility are from no earlier than 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, storm water, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located in the Wellborn Special Utility District waterservice area. Future development of the tract will have to meet the City’s minimum fire flow requirements. The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch sanitary sewer main which runs along the south and east property boundaries. The tract is locatedin the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area that gravity flows into the Bee Creek Trunk Line. This respective trunk line’s sub-basin currently serves many developments along Harvey Mitchell Parkway, from areas east of Wellborn Road, to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Much of the existing trunk line was constructed in 1973 and was shown to have several surcharging line segments in the 2011 HDR Sanitary Sewer Collection System Master Plan Update. The City is currently in the process of acapital improvement project entitled the ‘Bee Creek Relief Line’ that will install a larger diameter gravity line to increase the system capacity of the overall sub-basin in order to accept the ultimate build-out demand anticipated in this respective area. This trunk line capacity increase is necessary to proactively prevent surcharge events, possible fines from TCEQ, and customer service disruptions. Preliminary analysis of this area has identified that the existing sanitary sewer capacity can support theincreased sanitary sewer demand from the proposed development, however, future demands in this respective sub-basin will need to be evaluated as development occurs. The subject tract is in the Bee Creek Tributary “B” drainage basin. The subject tract isnot located within a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 182C. Future development of the tract will have to meet the requirements of the City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The subject tract is located adjacent to Old Wellborn Road (local) to the east and Holleman Drive West (4 Lane Major Collector –Suburban Context) to the west. Three future thoroughfares bi-sect the property: Deacon Drive (2-Lane Major Collector –Urban Context), General Parkway (2-Lane Minor Collector –Suburban/Urban Context) & Towers Parkway a 2-Lane Minor Collector –Suburban/Urban Context adjacent to the school district owned property. REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN Modifications from the previously approved concept plan include the addition of uses, rearrangementof streets/alleys and the addition of a waterway/drainage easement. Additional Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 6of 10 April 5, 2012 uses consist of commercial amusement with water recreation activities, that includes a commercial wakeboard ski facility, administrative offices, a maximum 3,500 square foot restaurant, and retail sales related to the wakeboard facility. The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed zoning district: The Barracks II Subdivision was previously granted PDD Zoning to develop a “ residential community for students in the 18-30 year age range. The planned development includes a mixture of housing options and commercial businesses that cater to the student population. The intent has not changed. This rezoning request merely adds another allowable use to the existing PDD Zoning. The Recreation Center and ski facility are intended to enhance the marketability of this mixed use development to buyers in the target demographic.” In accordance with this purpose statement, the Concept Plan includes a mixture of residential, commercial and office uses. Commercial uses are proposed primarily along Old Wellborn Road, with an additional commercial tract located at the future intersection of Deacon Drive and Holleman Drive South. These areas will be limited to C-3 Neighborhood Commercial uses, with additional allowed uses consisting of a shooting range –indoor, car wash, commercial garden/greenhouse/landscaping, commercial amusement, office and retail sales/service with storage areas being greater than 50%, and self-storage allowing equipment, materials, recreational vehicles and boats in a building enclosed on three sides. These uses would be limited to commercial tracts 2, 3 and 4, whichare located along Old Wellborn Road. Additionally, commercial tract 4 is the only commercial tract where self-storage units would be permitted. As proposed, restaurants are not a permitted use in Commercial Tracts 2, 3 or4. All commercial structures willbe required to be in compliance with the Non-Residential Architectural Standards as well as being compatible in size, roof type and pitch, materials, and architecture with the surrounding residential uses. A recreation center that includes a Wake Board Ski Park is proposed to utilize two of the three detention ponds that are necessary to serve the development. The recreation center, which includes offices, a pro shop, a 3,500 square foot restaurant and other amenities, will be required to meet all UDO requirements. Residential uses consisting of single-family detached residences and townhomes are proposed for the remainder of the site. Residential density is proposed at a max of 8.45 dwelling units per acre. The townhomes are proposed to be located arounda 1.62 acre park at the center of the development with an additional 2.25 acres of park land located around the perimeter of the townhomes. Single-family detached residences are proposed to be located nearest the school district owned property, located along Holleman Drive South that could potentially be the location of a future school. As mentioned, the layout of the development has changed some from the previously approved concept plan. Layout changes have been made in order to incorporate an open waterway/drainage easement through the center of the development. This waterway/drainage easement is in response to requirements of theUS Army Corp of Engineers as the developer is proposing to preserve additional stretches of the existing naturalchannel. Asa result, a number of townhome units have been removed and the layout now has more townhomes taking direct access to local streets as opposed to access via alleys. At time of site plan and plat, the project will need to meet all applicable standards required by the UDO except those discussed below. Staff is currently undertaking an effort to create new zoning districts to implement the different character areas envisioned by the Comprehensive Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 7of 10 April 5, 2012 Plan. In the absence of a defined General Suburban zoning district, the applicant and staff have negotiated through various standards to seek to attain a general suburban style that is appropriate for this portion of the City, while seeking to retain flexibility for both parties. Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications The existing zoning was approved with the following base zoning and meritorious modifications listed below. There are no new modifications being requested with the rezoning amendment. The applicant has proposed to utilize R-1 Single-Family Residential; R-3 Townhouse; and C-3 Light Commercial as the base, underlying zoning districts for standards not identified in the PDD. At the time of site plan and plat, the project will need to meet all applicable site, architectural and platting standards required by the Unified Development Ordinance except where meritorious modifications are granted with the PDD zoning. The applicant has requested the following meritorious modifications: 1.Section 6.3 “Specific Use Standards” The applicant has requested that the following uses be permitted within the Commercial Tracts shown on the concept plan in addition to the uses currently allowed under the C-3 zoning district: Shooting Range –Indoor Car Wash Commercial garden/greenhouse/landscape maintenance Commercial Amusement Office and retail sales/services with storage areas being greater than 50% of the space (i.e., office/warehouse with overhead doors) Self-storage –equipment, materials, recreational vehicles, or boats in buildings with at least three enclosed sides 2.Section 5.2. “Residential Dimensional Standards” The applicant has proposed the following modified setback requirements (UDO requirements are in parentheses): UseR-1R-3 Min. Front Setback20’ (25’)20’ (25’) Min. Side Setback5’ (7.5’)5’ (7.5’) The applicant states that the purpose is to allow slightly larger buildings and slightly more units within the same space, while maintaining a density that is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. 3.Section 5.4 “Non-Residential Dimensional Standards” Theapplicant has requested that the minimum rear setback for self storage structures adjacent to a public alley be five feet. Current UDO requirements for commercial buildings located within a C-3 zoning district is 15 feet. The applicant’s justification is that the alley will have a 24-foot right-of-way that provides adequate separation distance and that the rear wall of these units will have no openings or vehicular or pedestrian traffic on that side of the storage facility. Additionally, the intent is to utilize the rear wall of the self-storage building to act as the buffer wall between land uses as requested in modification number 5 listed below. Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 8of 10 April 5, 2012 4.Section 7.6 “Buffer Standards” The applicant is requesting the ability to count the rear wall of a self-storage building that is adjacent to an alley serving residential units as meeting the buffering requirement for commercial uses abutting single-family uses. The wall height would be a maximum of 15 feet and constructed of stone. The applicant’s justification is that the maximum height for a buffer wall is 8-feet and that the buffer requirements produce a 15-foot buffer yard that would be hidden from view. 5.Section 7.4 “Signs” The applicant is requesting that Commercial Tracts 2, 3, and 4 each be permittedto erect a freestanding sign that is no taller than 20 feet in height. Current, UDO requirements limit signage in C-3 zoning districts to low profile signs, which are a max of 4 feet in height and 60 square feet in area. The applicant’s justification for the request is that the commercial tracts are situated next to elevated railroad tracks and that the view to the commercial businesses will be obstructed from view. 6.Section 8.2 “Blocks” a)The applicant is requesting that block lengths of up to 1,000 feet be permitted on designated single-family and townhome blocks. Specifically, these blocks are noted as SF Block 4, SF Block 9, and TH Block 7. Current UDO requirements limit block lengths to 900 feet in areas designated as General Suburban. The applicant’s justification for the longer block lengths is to limit the number of street connections between single-family and townhome areas in an effort to eliminate the occurrence of townhome residents parking in front of single-family homes. A 15-foot widecommon area is proposed along TH Block 7 to allow for future pedestrian traffic through the block. b)The applicant is requesting a 1,250-foot block length along Deacon Drive for the Ski Park (WBP Block 1). The Ski Park is comprised of two ponds that serve as detention areas. Combined with the third detention area adjacent to Commercial Tract 2, these ponds are necessary to accommodate the drainage needs for the development and are located at the point where the natural drainage system exits the site. With the proposal to utilize two of these ponds as a Ski Park, a long block without an intermediate break in it is necessary. 7.Section 8.2.E.6 “Dead-End Streets” and Section 8.2.F “Alleys” The applicant is requesting that dead end streets in residential areas (single-family and townhome) be allowed to extend a maximum of 100 feet in length and that the dead-end alley adjacent to Commercial Tract 4 be allowed to extend to the property line (approximately 110 feet). Current subdivision requirements limit dead-endstreets and dead- end alleys to 100 feet in length or the depth of one lot, whichever is less. This affects the areas near Commercial Tract 1 and the Ski Park as the proposed lot width of the townhome lots are 30 feet wide along the right-of-way. Additionally, the alley adjacent to Commercial Tract 4 exceeds 100 feet in width, which is longer than the proposed townhome lot width. In this instance it would leave a small strip of privately-owned land between the alley and the property line. In both instances,future extension of the street/alley would be sought when the adjoining properties developed. 8.Section 6.3.Q “Specific Use Standards –Storage (Self-Service)” The applicant is requesting that accessory uses of an office and living quarters be allowed in the self-storage facility. Each of these uses would be limited to no more than 1,000 square feet in size. Additionally, the selling, renting, leasing of trucks or trailers would not be permitted. Current UDO requirements prohibit accessory uses for self-storage businesses Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 9of 10 April 5, 2012 located within a C-3 zoning designation. The applicant’s justification is that due to the large concentration of townhomes, they anticipate moving to be a common occurrence and that the need for the sale of related materials for moving and extended hours may be needed. 9.Section 7.5 “Landscaping” and Section 7.8 “Drainage and Stormwater Management” The applicant is requesting that the landscaping requirements for the Ski Park development be limited to the building, parking and amenity areasof the Ski Park. The ponds themselves would be removed from the landscaping point calculations, but would still be subject to streetscaping requirements along the rights-of-way. UDO requirements for landscaping point calculations are based on the overall size of the site and require that detention ponds be incorporated into the landscape design. Given that the majority of the Ski Park area is comprised of the ponds, it would be difficult, if not impossible to meet the landscaping requirements. 10.Section 8.2.E.4 “Adequate Street Access” The applicant is requesting that a Remote Emergency Access be permitted to serve as a connection to the requirement that when there are more than 30 lots to be served by external street connections, a minimum of two connections to external paved public streets be provided. Current UDO subdivision requirements state that the Planning and Zoning Commission may allow a Remote Emergency Access when the development is being phased or when the constraints of the land prevent the provision of a second street connection. The applicant is requesting this modification in an effort to phase subsequent streets accordingly. The requirement for two street connections to external paved public streets would still be required when 100 or more lots are served. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Meritorious modifications granted previously are proposed to carry over with the PDD amendment. Additionally, the revised concept plan is generally the same layout as what was previously approved, with modifications to add drainage/waterways, a revised street/alley layout around the park, and the addition of the commercial amusement uses and recreation center that includes a wakeboard ski park, restaurant and other accessory uses. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and concept plan with the condition that the commercial amusement uses and water recreation activities, which includes the wakeboard ski facility be removed from the allowed uses. While staff previously recommended approval of the wakeboard ski facility use, the basis for the recommendation is City Council’s previous decision thatthe wakeboard ski facilities are incompatible to the adjacent land uses.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. There is a highly competitive student housing market in College Station that continues to expand southward along Holleman Drive. Many options are presently available to students and/or investors that have unique, attractive amenities intended to make each product more appealing that others in the community. The Barracks II Subdivision is attempting to compete in this market but needs a similar amenity to enhance its marketability. The requested zoning change adds language to the existing PDD Zoning which allows for a Recreation Center that includes a cable wake board ski facility. 10/10 Page 2 of 7 2. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. Yes, it is accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. 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 original Concept Plan for The Barracks 11 was developed with the Recreation Center and ski facility as an integral part of the development. The target demographic for this project are students in the 18-30 year age category, which is the same age category that commonly participates in wake boarding. The facility will be used as a marketing tool, and everyone who purchases property in The Barracks 11 will know it is there. Most developed property around this facility already consists of student housing and more is being developed at this time. This added use will coexist with these surrounding developments with changing the character of the area. 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The Recreation Center and ski facility will be constructed in and around two of the three detention ponds planned for The Barracks 11. The ponds will be over -excavated to allow for permanent water pools. Few other uses are available for the detention pond areas. The anticipated improvements are in keeping with the City's goal of improving the aesthetics of these otherwise unusable areas. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. As indicated above, the detention pond areas are generally unusable for other purposes. they can only be used as open areas, but are subject to flooding on a regular basis. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. The student housing market in College Station is highly competitive, with numerous new options coming on-line that include amenities such as indoor/outdoor fitness centers, high-def theaters, lazy rivers, and cyber cafes. Under its current zoning, The Barracks 11 Subdivision can be marketed just as any other student housing development, but it lacks a unique draw to lure potential buyers away from these competing options. The developer believes the addition of the Recreation Center and its wake board ski facility described herein will provide this incentive and greatly improve the marketability of the property. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. When originally presented for rezoning, the opponents of this additional use portrayed the wake board ski facility as a loud and offensive activity that would detract from adjoining properties. The developer wishes to alleviate these fears. The Recreation Center and ski facility will be an integral marketing tool in The Barracks 11 Subdivision that meets all City requirements for noise levels and lighting. While special events are anticipated at the facility, they will be limited in size and scope so that they do not become a nuisance to other residents and detract from the future sale of lots or commercial properties. 10/10 Page 3 of 7 8. State the purpose and intent of the proposed development. The Barracks 11 Subdivision was previously granted PDD Zoning to develop a residential community for students in the 18-30 year age range. The planned development includes a mixture of housing options and commercial businesses that cater to the student population. That intent has not changed. This rezoning request merely adds another allowable use to the existing PDD Zoning. The Recreation Center and ski facility are intended to enhance the marketability of this mixed use development to buyers in the target demographic. CONCEPT PLAN SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1.

All of the requested land uses and zoning modifications were granted with the exception of the cable wake board ski facility and its associated landscaping and sign restrictions. Since that time, the initial phase of development has begun and is anticipated for completion in early 2012. The developer of The Barracks I1 Subdivision is requesting that a Recreation Center, which includes a cable wake board ski facility and restaurant, be added as an approved use within the development. Ilis reasoning is that the market for townhomes or small single family homes that target the student population is highly competitive due to the abundance of offerings in College Station. In order to lure potential buyers, developers must offer unique, attractive amenities that set their product apart front the multitude of other housing options. The Recreation Center and ski facility will provide a unique amenity that is not found anywhere else in the area, and the developer believes it will greatly enhance the marketability of the residential housing being created. The Concept Plan showing the anticipated development scheme has changed slightly from the original submittal. The layout of streets within the townhome area has been modified to allow an open waterway through the site. While its design has not been completed, this open waterway is envisioned to he a greenway through the center of the development with walking trails and water features. This change in the layout slightly reduces the number of townhome lots being planned. No other significant changes are proposed and the overall development concept remains the same as before. The information presented below is essentially the same information as previously submitted for the original rezoning request. There are no changes to the land uses already granted for this property and the original development concept remains the same. This rezoning request merely adds the Recreation Center, ski facility and auxiliary features to the list of acceptable land uses within the development. More detailed descriptions of the operation and management of the Recreation Center are given to provide a thorough understanding of the facility. General Information The Barracks R Subdivision is being presented for rezoning as a Planned Development District (PDD) containing a mixture of open space, residential and commercial land uses. It is a 108-acre development in the arca bounded by Wellborn Road on the east, Holleman Drive South (formerly IG&N Road) on the west, Cain Road to the north and Rock Prairie Road to the south. The 2009 Comprehensive Plan designates this part of the City as a General Suburban planning area. Following are two excerpts from that document describing the uses that arc intended for this specific area and for other areas with the same designation. • The area between Cain Road and Rock Prairie Road should be used for general suburban activities. High -density single family Lots (minimum 5,000 square feet), townhomes, and duplexes shall he limited to that portion of the area designated as General Suburban on the Future Land Use & Character map and shall incorporate design criteria including, hut not limited to, minimum open space, floor -to -area ratios, and bufferyards. Suburban or neighborhood commercial and office uses are also appropriate in this area. (page 2-14, 2- 15) • General Suburban - This land use designation is generally for areas that should have an intense level of development activities'. (page 2-18) The PDD Zoning classification was created to provide developers and the City with flexibility in the way that land uses and regulations are applied to formulate neighborhood environments envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. The definition of a PDD Zone as described in Section 5.5.0 of the UDO is as follows: The purpose of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage innovative development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural environment. If this necessitates varying from certain standards, the proposed development should demonstrate community benefits. The PDD is appropriate in areas where the land use plan reflects the specific commercial, residential, or mix of uses proposed in the PDD. A PDD may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts. While greater flexibility is given to allow special conditions or restrictions that would not otherwise allow the development to occur, procedures are established to insure against misuse of increased flexibility. Using these descriptions and a guide, the developer has worked closely with the City staff to create a planned development containing an innovative mixture of land uses that meet these criteria and address the unique issues associated with this site. The term "neighborhood cormnercial" as used in the Comprehensive Plan is not clearly defined, so a certain amount of latitude was uscd to balance the needs of future residential and commercial property owners. The planned uses in The Barracks II generally fall within R-1, R-3 and C-3 Zoning Classifications, with a few additional uses that the developer believes will enhance this development and produce the General Suburban environment described in the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this document is to describe the opportunities and constraints of this site, then to define the modifications to R-1, R-3 and C-3 Zoning Classifications that are being requested to create this Planned Development District Zone. Proposed Land Uses Planning for The Barracks II Subdivision has focused on producing a mixture of residential and commercial properties that coexist in close proximity and draw upon the needs of the other to form a sustainable suburban environment. To achieve this, the developer has targeted a specific demographic population to formulate the types of housing, business and recreational activities that are needed to support this neighborhood. The developer is also attempting to broaden the scope of permitted businesses to include those that could serve similar demographic populations in the immediate area around this project. The targeted demographic are college age students and young families who range in age between 18 and 30 years. These populations are often new to the community and are here for a relatively short time while they complete their undergraduate and/or graduate studies. As indicated previously, the proposed land uses in the development generally fall into the following three categories. 1. Single Family Residential (SF) as defined by the R-1 Zoning Classification. 2. Townhome Residential (TH) as defined by the R-3 Zoning Classification. 3. Light Commercial (COM) as defined by the C-3 Zoning Classification. In addition to the allowable uses described in the UDO for C-3 Zoning, the developer is requesting that the following uses be permitted within the Commercial Tracts shown on the Concept Plan. A. Shooting Range --Indoor B. Car Wash C. Commercial garden/greenhouse/landscape maintenance D. Commercial amusement E. Office and retail sales/services with storage areas being greater than 50% of the space (i.e. office/warehouse with overhead doors) F. Self Storage A fourth land use being proposed is a Recreation Center (RC) that includes a cable wake board ski facility. This is a unique land use that is not specifically described or regulated by the UDO. It is a water activity that uses an oval shaped cable system to pull wake board skiers around a pond allowing them to perform jumps or other stunts much like a skier behind a boat. The ski facility will be located in the detention pond area, which will be over excavated to hold a permanent pool of water. The Recreation Center will include a small office, pro shop, restaurant, deck, pool, beach volleyball and other amenities often found on a beach or lake. It will be one of the principle amenities used to attract young people to live in the development. These added land uses were expressly chosen to create a desirable, vibrant and stable neighborhood in which to live. The meritorious modifications that arc described on the following pages are intended to tailor these land uses in a manner that will help achieve this goal. Site Description The site of The Barracks I1 Subdivision has three unique characteristics that significantly impact the way it can be developed. The layout shown in the Concept Plan and the wording of the General Notes have been crafted to address these issues and produce an economically viable development. 1. School Site — A portion of the western boundary of the site adjoins a 27-acre tract owned by College Station ISD. While there are no current plans for the district to build a school on the site, there is a good potential for this to occur in the future. The potential for this future school creates unique opportunities for The Barracks II Subdivision including joint agreements for the extension of streets and utility lines, as well as strategic placement of residential and commercial land uses around it. Preliminary discussions between College Station ISD, the City and the developer have already led to tentative agreements that provide two thoroughfares on the school district property as part of this development. 2. Railroad Tracks — One of the most obvious drawbacks of this site is its proximity to the railroad tracks on its east side. These tracks are situated between Wellborn Road and Old Wellborn Road, and are elevated above the natural ground to heights that vary from about 5 feet to about 8 feet. These tracks pose two significant problems for the site. First is the visual barrier they create which effectively blocks the ability for traffic on Wellborn Road to see into the site. The second is access into the site from Wellborn Road, which is presently linnited to railroad crossings at Rock Prairie Road and Cain Road. Both of these streets are outside the boundaries of this development. Thc College Station Thoroughfare Plan calls for the extension of Deacon Drive through the site, but there is no railroad crossing for that street and there are no plans to provide one in the near future. 3. Topography -- Thc topography of this site is very flat, particularly though the center portions where a small channel exists that flows into a tributary of Bee Creek. In order to build streets across very flat terrain like this, a large volume of earthen fill is needed to create sufficient slopes on the streets (and their adjoining lots) to meet the BCS design criteria, so it is vital to have a sufficient source of this fill in close proximity to the site. The large detention ponds and the over -excavated material for the Recreation Center ponds will greatly offset the need for importing additional material. The City is presently studying the potential for a Regional Detention Pond downstream that would preclude the need for detention on the site, but it is not likely to be in place within a suitable timeframc for this development to use. Justification for Meritorious Modifications The following modifications to general R-1, R-3 and C-3 zoning requirements are requested to create the PDD Zoning for The Barracks II Subdivision. Justifications are provided for each requested modification. The numbering and lettering of these modifications correspond with those on the General Notes shown on the Concept Plan. The other conditions included in the General Notes that are not described below are specific restrictions or allowances that do not require variances from the UDO. 2. General bulk or dimensional variations are as follows: a. Single Family (SF) residential development (variations from R-1 zoning) • Front setback distance — 20 ft without rear access, 15 with rear access • Rear setback distance — 20 ft • Side setback distance — 5 ft • Street side setback distance — 15 ft Justification: The primary benefit of these setbacks distances is to allow .slightly larger buildings and slightly more units within the same geographical space. The number of residential units and the open spaces shown on the Concept Plan were carefully balanced to produce an acceptable density that follows the Comprehensive Plan, yet still yield sufficient quantities of sellable lots to make the development economical. Sinular setback distances have been used successftdly in the Castle Rock Subdivision by this same developer. b. Townhome (TH) development (variations from R-3 Zoning) • Front setback distance — 20 ft without rear access, 15 with rear access • Rear setback distance — 20 ft • Side setback distance — 5 ft • Street side setback distance — 15 ft Justification: (same as for 2.a. above) e. Commercial (COM) development • Restaurants shall not be permitted in Commercial Tracts 1, 2, 3, or 4. Justification: This was a negotiated agreement with the City .staff in exchange for a stand-alone restaurant being allowed in the Recreation Center. The rationale is to limit this type of use within this development. Previously, restaurants were being allowed in the commercial tracts along Old Wellborn Road, but the developer believes the demand for restaurants on those tracts will be minimal. He believes it is much more likely that a restaurant will be economically feasible in the Recreation Center. • The rear setback for self storage structures adjacent to a public alley will be 5 feet. Justification: The developer anticipates that .self storage units will be constructed in Commercial Tract 4 immediately behind the alley serving the townhomes along General Parkway. The rear wall of these units will have no openings and there will be no vehicular or pedestrian traffic on that side of the storage facility (see General Note 4. c.). The alley has a 24' right of way so there is already a significant separation distance between the buildings. A large rear setback for the storage units serves no purpose in this specific location. • In locations where the rear wall of self storage building is adjacent to an alley serving residential units, the rear wall may serve as the buffering wall between land uses. Wall height may be a maximum of 15 feet and consist of approved materials described in the UDO Section 7.6.F.3.a. Justification: The self storage facility will likely include spaces for the storage ofRVs, large boats and other tall vehicles that cannot fit into normal units, so the wall and roof structure will be higher than those of standard units. Buffering requirements in the UDO currently require a masonry wall between 6 and 8 feet high at the property line, plus a 15' setback between residential and non-residential buildings. In this case, that requirement produces a 15 ft area of unused space between the buffer wall and the rear of the storage building. This area would be hidden, from view thus inviting undesirable vegetative growth, illegal dumping and potential security corrcernrs. The, developer requests that the rear wall of the storage unit be allowed to fitnction as the buffer wall since it will not have openings that permit access or visibility to the townhornes. d. Commercial Tracts 2, 3, and 4 will each be permitted to erect a freestanding sign in accordance with Section 7.4.N of the UDO. 'These signs may be raised to a maximum height of 20 feet. Justification: Commercial tracts 2, 3 and 4 are situated next to the elevated railroad tracts along Wellborn Road. The view from vehicles traveling on Wellborn Road is greatly obstructed, particularly to objects that are 10 feet or lower behind the tracks. General C-3 zoning limits businesses to low profile that are a mcaxinrtrm of 4 feet high or attached signs on the buildings themselves. If held to these standards, advertising signs for businesses that locate on any of these three tracts will be ineffective in reaching traffic on Wellborn Road. The developer is requesting that each of the three tracts be allowed to erect a freestanding sign up to a maximum height of 20 feet that will display advertising for the businesses in each tract. Signage like this will greatly enhance opportunities on the west side of the tracks where many businesses have previously been reluctant to locate due to access, noise and visibility problems. e. Block Lengths of up to 1000 feet will be permitted on designated Single Family (SF) and Townhome (TH) blocks. These blocks are noted as SF Block 4 and TH Block 7. Justification: Several iterations ofthe Concept Plan have been drawn and discussed with the City staff: One of the concerns in these discussions has been the potential for guests of the townhome residents to park on streets in front of single family homes. The layout shown on this version of the Concept Plan attempts to address that concern by limiting the number of street connections between the Single Family and Tounrhome areas to one. In so doing, the total length of one block within the Single Family area is 922 feet and one in the Townhorne area is about 955 feet, all of which exceed the 900 ft limit in the UDO. fl 15 ft wide common area has been added to TH Block 7 to allow pedestrian traffic through and break up the block length, although there is presently no destination at the end of the common area for pedestrians to enter. f. Dead end streets in residential areas (SF and TH) arc permitted up to a maximum of 100 feet in length. The dead-end alley adjacent to Commercial Tract 4 shall extend to the property line (approximately 110 feet). Justification: This modification to the UDO involves two residential streets on the north side of Deacon Drive, one near Commercial tract 1 and one near the Recreation Center. Current regulations state that dead end streets and alleys may be a maximwn of 100 feet or I lot width, whichever is shorter. In the case of the two streets that have townhome lots fronting onto them, a single lot will only be about 30 feet wide, leaving the remaining portion of the street unavailable for development. This modification allows more of the space on the short dead-end streets to be used. This modification also addresses the alley near the south property line that separates the townhomes along General Parkway and Commercial Tract 4. Extension of the alley to the south property line will permit future access to the adjoining property. Without this extension, a small strip of privately owned land will exist between the end of the alley and the property line. The developer has discussed the street and alley variances with the Fire and Sanitation Departments. Both have agreed that this requested modification will not cause difficulty with their normal operations. 4. Special conditions for commercial (COM) development d. The self storage facility will be permitted to incorporate an office on the premises for management and security. The office shall be permitted to sell equipment or materials related to storage and moving, but shall not sell/rent/lease trucks or trailers. The office will be limited to a maximum of 1000 sf. Living quarters for the managers of the facility will also be permitted within the premises. These quarters shall be no larger than 1000 sf. Justification: Due to the proximity of the self storage, facilities to a large concentration of townhomes, the developer anticipates moving to be a common occurrence and a need will exist for related materials (i.e. boxes, locks, packing material, etc.). The developer requests that sales of such materials be permitted from an on -site manager's office. In addition, the developer foresees the potential that the on -site manager may need to be available for extended hours and weekends to accommodate the needs of customers and enhance security at the facility. For this reason, the developer also requests that small living quarters for the on -site manager be permitted. General C-3 zoning permits self' storage facilities to be constructed, but it places a stipulation that "accessory uses are prohibited". The term "accessory uses" is not defined, leaving the subject of what is permitted open to debate. The requested modification clarifies this issue by clearly stating two other uses that are anticipated on the site. 5. Special conditions for the Recreation Center are as follows: c. Landscaping requirements in the UDO will be applied to the building, parking, and amenity areas of the Recreation Center. The remainder of the Recreation Center is excluded from these requirements. Justification: As previously described, the Recreation Center and ski facility is a unique land use that is not found anywhere else in this area, so certain rules that are normally applied to development sites do not apply to this facility. Landscaping requirements are calculated based on the overall size of a site, but since the two bodies of water used for the Recreation Center comprise a majority of the surface area, it is not possible to install landscaping that would normally be required as specified in the UDO. This requested modification removes the ski areas ,from these landscaping calculations. Streetscaping requirements along rights -of -way will still apply to this facility. d. A block length of up to 1250 feet is allowed along Deacon Drive in front of the Recreation Center (RC Block 1). Justification: As shown on the Concept Plan, the Recreation Center and ski facility is situated in and around two ponds which both serve as detention areas. There is a third detention area adjacent to Commercial Tract 2, These three ponds are sized to accommodate the drainage needs of the development and located at the point where the natural drainage .system exits the site. The combined area of all three ponds takes up a significant portion of the total development. The Recreation Center that the developer is planning in two of these ponds necessitates a long block without intermediate public crossings. The Concept Plan shows two public streets on each side of the Recreation Center that provide access to the undeveloped adjoining tract. The portion of this adjoining tract immediately north of the Recreation Center includes a large floodplain that will likely never be developed so there is little chance of an attraction that would need access through the facility. 8. When there are more than 30 lots to be served by external street comnections, a minimum of two connections to external paved public streets shall be required. A Remote Emergency Access is permitted to serve as one of these connections. Two street connections to external paved public streets shall be required when 100 or more lots are served. Justification: This requirement closely follows the requirement in the UDO for access to residential developments. Wording in the UDO states that when more than 30 lots are to be served in a subdivision, then the Planning and Zoning Commission is given the discretion to allow a Remote Emergency Access "where development phasing or constraints of the land prevent the provision of a second street connection". This requested modification to the UDO makes the decision to allow the Remote Emergency Access as part of the J'DD Zoning so that phasing of subsequent streets can be planned accordingly. The initial phase of [he Barracks II Subdivision includes Commercial Tract 1 and a portion of' the residential area on the north side of Deacon Drive. Deacon Drive will be the primary access. Deacon Drive will be a 48 f wide street over its entire length and the expense of building it will be very high. It is not economically feasible to extend Deacon Drive across the entire development to Old Wellborn Road until subsequent phases are brought on-line. Thus, the second connection to external streets needs to be a Remote Emergency Access roadway as described above. i 2r0 SCALE IN r nb - E ACRE TRPC N 42 14'I7' E 340279' S 41'21'39' M b01. [EARL.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with the condition that the request of the waiver to the multi-use path be removed. Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 1of 8 April 5, 2012 Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 3of 8 April 5, 2012 Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 4of 8 April 5, 2012 NOTIFICATIONS Advertised Commission Hearing Date:April 5, 2012 Advertised Council Hearing Dates: April 26, 2012 The following neighborhood organizations that are registered with the City of College Station’s Neighborhood Services have received a courtesy letter of notification of this public hearing: Sonoma Homeowners Association Property owner notices mailed: 34 Contacts in support:None at the time of Staff Report Contacts in opposition:None at the time of Staff Report Inquiry contacts:1 ADJACENT LAND USES DirectionComprehensivePlanZoningLand Use North Minor Arterial/A-O, Agricultural OpenSingle-family (across Barron Rd)Suburban Commercial South R-1, Single-FamilySingle-family General Suburban Residential East General SuburbanR-1, Single-FamilySingle-family Residential West C-3, Light-CommercialSingle-family Highway / (across SH 40) Suburban Commercial DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: 1995 Zoning: A-O, Agricultural Open to C-3, Light Commercial (2006) C-3, Light Commercial to PDD, Planned Development (2008) Final Plat: Unplatted Site development: Vacant REVIEW CRITERIA 1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan in this area calls for Suburban Commercial. This designation is intended for “concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region.” As a result, design of these structures are intended to be compatible in size, roof type and pitch, architecture, and lot coverage with the surrounding single-family residential uses. The current zoning of the property is PDD, Planned Development District with a base C-3, Light Commercial zoning. The proposed rezoning is adjusting the layout from the previously approved PDD Concept Plan, with no additional uses being proposed. Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 5of 8 April 5, 2012 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The uses requested for the PDD are those allowed under the C-3 zoning designation, with the addition of drive-thrus that are presently excluded in C-3 districts. Given the proposed layout of the Concept Plan, drive-thrus could not be accommodated on the site without a revised rezoning and Concept Plan. The proposed uses are compatible with the surrounding R-1 zoned properties. A 15-foot buffer yard with a 6-foot wall is being provided along the property line of the R-1 properties. This is the minimum buffer requirement for commercial uses against single-family and would be the standard buffer required were this to develop in a C-1 or C-3 district where such uses are allowed. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The property is located at the intersection of a minor arterial and a highway. This is a suitable location for a small scale commercial development that could serve the existing Sonoma and Southern Trace residential subdivisions, other existing larger lot residential in the area, as well as future residential planned for in the area. 4.Suitability of the property affected by theamendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The size and location of the property is suitable for light commercial uses. With its proximity to single- family lots, the uses allowed under the C-3Light Commercial zoning district are suitable for this property. 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 property is currently marketable for small scale commercial and office uses. The purpose of the request is to reorient the buildings on the site and adjust the building square footages. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located adjacent to an 18-inch water main along Barron and a 24-inch water main along SH 40. The subject tract is located adjacent to an 8-inch sanitary sewer main which is located near the northeast property corner. The subject tract is located adjacent to and may take access to either Barron Road (Minor Arterial) and/or SH 40 (Freeway); however, access to SH 40 will require TxDOT approval and permitting. TxDOT has indicated in their comments that a deceleration lane would be required for a driveway along SH 40. Construction of the Barron Road widening has been completed and this minor arterial is capable ofcarryingup to 30,000 daily trips. The subject tract is located in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin. There is no FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area located on this tract. Development of this tract will be required to meet the City’s Storm Water Design Guidelines. The subject tract is located in the Spring Creek Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area. CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA 1.The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area: The rural character in the area has been changing with the construction of the new College Station ISD High School, continued build out of the Sonoma Subdivision, and future planned single-family residential across Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 6of 8 April 5, 2012 Barron Road. The proposed concept plan revises the previously approved concept plan and would provide suburban commercial uses for the existing and proposed residential in the area. Changes from the previously approved concept plan include reorientation ofbuildings, adjustment of building sizes and a request for a waiver to the multi-use path requirement along SH 40. 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 are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies to provide neighborhood-focused retail in proximity to residential areas. The proposal includes buildings that incorporate residential components such as covered porches, single windows, and the use of timber and glass as architectural accents. 3.The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development: The proposed layout meets the minimum buffer standards between commercial and residential uses. This buffer consists of 15-foot buffer yard and a 6-foot masonry wall. But given the proximity to single-family homes, there should be greater consideration for reconfiguration to decrease the impact it will have on the existing and future residential uses on the surrounding lots. 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: All structures in the concept plan front on either SH 40 or Barron Road. 5.The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities: No public open space is being dedicated with this proposal. The concept plan does incorporate a detention area for stormwater management on the east side of the property. No parkland dedication is required for commercial projects, and no voluntary dedications are proposed. The applicant has requested a waiver to the multi-use path requirement along SH 40. This multi-use path is identified on the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan and is planned to extend along SH 40 from SH6 to FM 2154. Staff is not supportive of the waiver request as it is vital to provide the multi-use path when the property develops so that adequate room is given and that the future multi-use path connection is not lost. 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 improvements will be materially injurious to properties in the vicinity. Although, it may have an impact on the resale value of homes directly adjacent to the commercial site. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular 7. 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: The proposed development was not required to submit a traffic impact analysis because it did not generate enough traffic to surpass the150 vehicles per the peak hourthreshold.This development willtake access on SH 40 and on Barron Road. Planning & Zoning CommissionPage 7of 8 April 5, 2012 Construction on Barron Road has been recently completed.With this construction,Barron Roadhas beenupgraded from a two-lane rural collector to a four-lane minor arterial to include bike lanes and sidewalkson both sides of the street.The Barron Road project also included a traffic signal at the intersection of Barron Road and SH 40. This development will not affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation on Barron Road. Thedriveway accessing SH 40 will include the extension of the right turn lane to Barron Road, this will in effect create a right turn deceleration lane onto the proposed driveway. This requirement was at the direction of TxDOT and will be part of thepermitting process. This development will not affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation on SH 40. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and concept plan with the condition that the meritorious modification for a waiver to the multi-use path requirement be removed. The concept plan makes small revisions to the previously approved zoning, with changes to the size and layout/orientation of buildings being requested. Staff feels that the proposal is generally consistent with the Suburban Commercial guidelines set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, with the exception of the waiver request.
