Senior Planner Howell clarified that as part of this request there is no connection to University Drive East. Mr. Howell further clarified that a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was provided to staff, and the TIA indicated that mitigation is required with a signal at University Drive East and East Crest Drive and a signal or round about at Harvey Road and Summit Crossing Drive. Chairperson Cornelius asked about the call received in objection. Senior Planner Howell clarified that the call and letter received in objection was from the adjacent property owner, and staff also received a call in objection from a property owner on Summit Crossing Drive. Commissioner Higdon asked for any plans to connect the development to FM 158/Boonville Road. Senior Planner Howell clarified that the Master Thoroughfare Plan shows that a future connection to FM 158/Boonville Road is required, stating that a preliminary plan and platting will be required to identify the eventual connection. Chairperson Cornelius asked for clarification that the only access to the development is from Summit Crossing Drive. Senior Planner Howell confirmed the current access, stating that right-of-way will be required to provide a connection when platting. Page 5 of 59 July 17, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 6 Commissioner Higdon asked if the properties between the two requests would remain urban residential. Senior Planner Howell confirmed that the properties would remain urban residential and zoned T Townhouse.

Mr. Jones clarified that Summit Way will extend to and through University Drive East and create a minor collector to FM 158/Boonville Road in the future. Chairperson Cornelius asked if the development would have multi-family and townhouse developments. Mr. Jones confirmed that the development would have both multi-family and townhouse developments, with commercial development along the frontage of University Drive East, and an extension of Summit Way. Chairperson Cornelius opened the public hearing for agenda items #5.1 and #5.2. Bailey Rhodes, West Web, representing Adam Developing Properties, spoke in opposition to the comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning citing concerns for disruptions in continuity of the development, creating burdens for existing commercial land owners, buffer areas consuming developable area limiting design flexibility, cost increase for commercial land owners, interruption of available commercial corridor, traffic and access conflicts, compatible expectations, and the risk of reduced commercial interest. Ms. Rhodes also stated that this development goes against good planning practice, disrupts the logical continuity of commercial development, and is a residential disruption. Chairperson Cornelius asked if the clients in opposition are opposed to the “panhandle” portion of the development, or the entirety of the development. Ms. Rhodes clarified that there is general opposition for future development. Michael Prime, Summit Crossing Subdivision, College Station, spoke in opposition to the comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning citing concerns for multi-family development, drainage, lighting issues, and access on Lonetree Drive. Senior Planner Howell clarified that Lonetree Drive would be required to construct an extension or turn around. Chairperson Cornelius closed the public hearing for agenda items #5.1 and #5.2. Commissioner Collins asked if this proposed development is an appropriate use. Page 6 of 59 July 17, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6 Senior Planner Howell confirmed that this is an appropriate use of the property. Commissioner Collins asked who would be responsible for buffers. Senior Planner Howell clarified that buffering would be at the expense of the property developer. Commissioner Collins stated that nothing needs to be done by current landowners regarding drainage, clarifying that if the property is rezoned, the developer will need to provide plans on water evacuation. Senior Planner Howell confirmed that plating will require a site plan and detention plans. Commissioner Higdon expressed concerns regarding access to the “panhandle”, with the extension of Lonetree Drive. Senior Planner Howell clarified that access, connectivity, right-of-way, and streets will be reviewed with the site plan. Commissioner Chaloupka expressed concerns with the “panhandle” area, stating that the development isolates and causes challenges for surrounding properties. Chairperson Cornelius asked if the Commission could add a condition to the comprehensive plan amendment or rezoning. Director Armstrong clarified that the Commission must act on the comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning requests separately, and may recommend approval, recommend approval with conditions, or recommend denial, confirming that the Commission can put a condition on either request that is physical in nature. Chairperson Cornelius asked if the Commission could recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment and add a condition to the rezoning. Director Armstrong confirmed that the Commission could recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment and add a condition to the rezoning. Chairperson Cornelius asked if the Commission were to add a condition to not rezone the “panhandle” area, how would that affect development. Mr. Jones responded that not rezoning the “panhandle” area kills project, stating that the development is maintaining a 350-foot strip of commercial area on University Drive East. Chairperson Cornelius asked if the Commission did not add conditions if they could still make recommendations to the City Council based on the Commission’s concerns. Page 7 of 59 July 17, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 6 Director Armstrong clarified that staff would relay a report to City Council, and a representative of the Commission would be available to speak at City Council. Transportation Planning Administrator Schubert provided clarification on access from Summit Crossing Lane stating that it will extend to University Drive East at East Crest Drive. Commissioner Collins asked if Lonetree Drive will connect to any streets. Transportation Planning Administrator Schubert clarified that Lonetree Drive is currently a stub, and development regulations will require the development to continue the street or turn it in to a cul-de-sac. There was general discussion amongst the Commission on conditions, concerns, and recommendations. Director Armstrong clarified that if the Commission were to recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment, the rezoning would then be in direct compliance with the with the future land use. Commissioner Collins moved to recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment. Commissioner Higdon seconded the motion, the motion was approved 6-0.

In the event an area is rezoned to apply an overlay district, this district shall apply to all multi-family, commercial, and industrial property, and where applicable, to single-family, duplex, or townhouse development. The underlying district establishes the permitted uses and shall remain in full force, and the requirements of the overlay district are to be applied in addition to the underlying use and site restrictions. A. OV Corridor Overlay. This district is established to enhance the image of gateways and key entry points, major corridors, and other areas of concern, as determined by the City Council, by maintaining a sense of openness and continuity. The following supplemental standards shall apply to this district: 1. Setbacks. All buildings will be set back forty (40) feet from the right-of-way. Where parking is located in the front of the building, there shall be a front setback of twenty (20) feet from the right-of-way to the parking area and all drive aisles. 2. Signs. Freestanding signs shall be limited to the restrictions of the Signs Section of Article 7, General Development Standards of this UDO but shall not exceed the height of the building. 3. Building Colors. Building colors shall be neutral and harmonious with the existing man-made or natural environment, and only compatible accent colors shall be used.

B. RDD Redevelopment District. The purpose of this district is to facilitate the redevelopment of existing nonconforming commercial centers through flexible or relaxed standards, which can accommodate existing physical limitations and take extraordinary circumstances into account. The RDD Redevelopment District is an overlay district. The permissible uses on any site shall be governed by the underlying zoning. The following supplemental standards shall apply to this district: Page 40 of 59 1. Location. An RDD Redevelopment District may be established upon any commercially zoned property where the initial development was developed a minimum of twenty (20) years before the rezoning request and the proposed redevelopment meets the intent of this Section. Special consideration should be given to those areas considered "gateways" and/or historic, and those with proximity to Texas A&M University. 2. Standards. Although every effort should be made to meet all requirements of this UDO, designated RDD Redevelopment Districts may be allowed to waive up to fifty (50) percent of required parking standards and landscaping where physical limitations and the site's location and relationship to the goals of the Comprehensive Plan warrant consideration. A lesser percentage may be established as part of the approval process. 3. Criteria for Evaluation. Evaluation of all sites and site plans for rezoning to RDD Redevelopment District shall consider the following: a. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan; b. Aesthetic contribution of the proposed redevelopment; c. Economic viability of the existing site; d. Physical limitations and the demonstrated inability to meet current requirements; e. Public health and safety standards; and f. Effort made to meet all standards of this UDO. g. Full engineering of sites may not be required for the establishment of an RDD Redevelopment District; however, a preliminary engineering study will be required which assesses parking, vehicular access and circulation, drainage, and utility requirements. 4. Procedure for Establishment. The procedure for rezoning to RDD Redevelopment District shall be the same as any other rezoning application except that a site plan of the proposed redevelopment of the site shall be carefully evaluated to ascertain the site plan's benefit to achieving the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Elevations of proposed structures may be required as part of the review process, or to determine eligibility for rezoning. Full engineering may not be required for evaluating a property for rezoning. Varying levels of information may be required by the Administrator depending upon the peculiarities of any given site. The site plan components shall govern the redevelopment of the site following the approval of an RDD Redevelopment District. C. HP Historic Preservation Overlay. 1. Purpose. The HP Historic Preservation Overlay is intended to provide for the protection and preservation of places and areas of historical, cultural, and architectural importance and significance. Such action is necessary to promote the economic, cultural, educational, and general welfare of the public. Page 41 of 59 Specifically, this district has the following expressed purposes: a. To protect and enhance the landmarks and districts which represent distinctive elements of College Station's historic, architectural, and cultural heritage; b. To foster civic pride in the accomplishments of the past; c. To protect and enhance College Station's attractiveness to visitors and the support and stimulus to the economy thereby provided; d. To ensure the harmonious, orderly, and efficient growth and development of College Station; e. To promote economic prosperity and welfare of the community by encouraging the most appropriate use of such property within College Station; and f. To encourage stabilization, restoration, and improvements of such properties and their values. 2. Applicability. The HP Historic Preservation Overlay may be applied to districts, areas, or individual property, regardless of the base zoning district or current use of the properties, that: a. Are at least forty (40) years old; b. Meet at least two (2) of the criteria listed below; and c. Possess historic integrity that is evident through historic qualities including location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. 3. Criteria for Designation of HP Historic Preservation Overlays. A property or district may be designated if it: a. Possesses significance in history, architecture, archeology, and culture; b. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local, regional, state, or national history; c. Is associated with events that have made a significant impact in our past; d. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; e. Represents the work of a master designer, builder, or craftsman; f. Represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood or city; or g.

Removal of an HP Historic Preservation Overlay. Upon recommendation of the Landmark Commission to the Planning and Zoning Commission based upon new and compelling evidence and negative evaluation according to the same criteria and following the same procedures set forth in this UDO for designation, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend to the City Council and the City Council may remove an HP Historic Preservation Overlay made under this Section. D. HOO High Occupancy Overlay. 1. Purpose. Page 42 of 59 The purpose of this district is to accommodate increased residential occupancy through the permitting of shared housing as a use. The HOO High Occupancy Overlay aims to promote efficient land use and provide additional housing opportunities by allowing higher-occupancy residential structures within specific areas of College Station where additional residential density is appropriate. 2. Applicability. The HOO High Occupancy Overlay may be applied where the base zoning district(s) of the area is MH Middle Housing, a multi-family zoning district, or a mixed-use zoning district. An area under this overlay shall consist of a property or contiguous properties that are of sufficient size that generally follow visible geographic features of an area. It is not the intent for this overlay to be applied to small areas or individual lots. 3. Standards. In addition to the permitted uses of the base zoning district, shared housing is a permitted use. (Ord. No. 2023-4453, Pt. 1(Exh. A), 8-10-2023; Ord. No. 2023-4468, Pt. 1(Exh. C), 9-14-2023) Page 43 of 59 Created: 2025-06-18 08:25:38 [EST] (Supp. No. 9, Update 1) Page 1 of 3 Sec. 5.11. Single-Family Overlay Districts. A. Purpose. Single-family overlay districts create an additional zoning district that is superimposed over the underlying zoning district. Single-family overlay districts are intended to provide additional standards for College Station neighborhoods. These standards promote residential development patterns and are intended to protect and enhance desirable neighborhood characteristics, livability, and harmonious, orderly, and efficient growth and development. The underlying zoning district establishes the permitted uses and standards and shall remain in effect. The requirements of the overlay are to be applied in addition to the underlying zoning district standards. B. Applicability. Single-family overlay districts may only be applied to neighborhoods zoned and developed for single-family dwelling units. C. General Provisions. 1. The yard, lot, building height, and open space regulations of the single-family overlay districts must be read in accordance with the yard, lot, building height, and open space regulations in the Residential Dimensional Standards Section above and the General Provisions Section of Article 7, General Development Standards of this UDO. In the event of a conflict between the single-family overlay district and these Sections, the single-family overlay district controls. 2. The City Council may approve a single-family overlay district for the boundaries of original subdivisions or multiple contiguous phases of original subdivisions that apply jointly. 3. An application for an Official Zoning Map amendment to include a single-family overlay district may be filed once a petition is signed by property owners of at least fifty (50) percent plus one (1) of the total number of single-family zoned or developed building plots contained within the original subdivision, or multiple contiguous phases of original subdivisions that apply jointly in one application, in support of the overlay. The fifty (50) percent plus one (1) petition signatures must be met for each of the original subdivisions or each phase of an original subdivision that apply jointly. D. ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay. 1. Purpose. The ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay is intended to provide subdivision-specific occupancy regulations in single-family neighborhoods. ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlays are intended to preserve the single-family character of residential neighborhoods. 2. Applicability. The regulations of the ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay apply to each single-family dwelling and accessory living quarter within the overlay. 3. General Provisions. a. The standards set forward in a ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay must be based on the findings of the petition committee. b. The petition committee shall consist of property owners of platted single-family development from the original subdivision. In the circumstance where multiple contiguous phases of original subdivisions are applying jointly, the petition committee shall consist of one property owner from each phase included in the application. Page 44 of 59 Created: 2025-06-18 08:25:38 [EST] (Supp. No. 9, Update 1) Page 2 of 3 c. To be eligible to apply for a ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay, improvements must exist on at least 51 percent of the platted single-family lots in the original subdivision. 4. Standards. Occupancy of either, a detached single-family dwelling or accessory living quarter, shall not exceed two unrelated persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarter. Related persons are specified in the definition of family in the Defined Terms Section of Article 11, Definitions of this UDO. Accessory living quarter requirements are further specified in the Accessory Uses Section of Article 6, Use Regulations of this UDO. 5. Legacy Clause. a. Occupancy levels in individual single-family dwellings and accessory living quarters within an original subdivision, existing at the time a ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay is adopted, are permitted to continue, not to exceed a maximum of four unrelated persons for single-family dwellings and two unrelated persons for accessory living quarters and shall be considered a nonconforming use. The provisions of the Nonconforming Uses Section of Article 9, Nonconformities of this UDO, shall apply, with the exception of the Continuance Subsection. b. The structure containing the nonconforming use may be enlarged or expanded up to a maximum of ten (10) percent of the heated square footage of the structure existing at the time the ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay was adopted. c. Enlargement or expansion of the structure containing the nonconforming use beyond ten (10) percent and up to a maximum of twenty-five (25) percent of the heated square footage of the structure existing at the time the ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay was adopted shall require approval of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Zoning Board of Adjustment may authorize such enlargement or expansion based on the following criteria: 1) That granting the enlargement or expansion will ensure the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise applicable standards; 2) That granting the enlargement or expansion will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses or the physical character of uses in the vicinity of the nonconforming use; and 3) That granting the enlargement or expansion will be generally consistent with the purposes and intent of this UDO. d.
