dwelling units to be developed.
Coordinator Schubert confirmed that development over the TIA’s assumption of 886 dwelling units would require a new TIA. The TIA assumes 886 dwelling units, and the
analysis shows the additional growth will be mitigated by a required new signal at Greens

Chairperson Cornelius clarified that CSISD zoning is outside of the Commission’s
purview.
Jonah Willians, Royal Oaks Gardens, Bryan, asked if there was an exception or clause that would bar the development from expanding past 886 dwelling units, and if there would be
a possibility that the layout would prevent future expansion.
Deputy City Attorney Whitten stated that the Commission could decide that there is a condition related to public safety, health, or general welfare, and condition could be placed on the approval of the rezoning.
Planner Blasingame stated there is currently no condition on the rezoning to prevent future expansion or future growth.
Director Armstrong stated that the City of College Station can require what the
Comprehensive Plan shows and what properties are zoned as. The City of College
Station cannot legally look at an end user.

concerns with compatibility.
September 18, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 15

zoning districts are appropriate.

Ken Welch, Woodlake Phase 1, College Station, spoke in opposition to the rezoning citing
concerns for runoff, and erosion. Chairperson Cornelius closed the public hearing.

Director Armstrong clarified that preliminary plans are approved at staff level if the plan is in direct compliance with the Subdivision Regulations; the Commission would only act on a preliminary plan if the plan contained discretionary items or waivers.
Chairperson Cornelius asked if the TIA included the Greens Prairie Road at Arrington
Road interchange. Coordinator Schubert clarified that the TIA did not include the intersection of Greens Prairie Road and Arrington Road and stated that there is a project funded to work on the
intersection at William D. Fitch Parkway and Arrington Road.
Chairperson Cornelius asked what other safeguards are in place to limit the number of developable homes other than the TIA.
Director Armstrong clarified that there is parkland dedication, drainage design guidelines,
and floodplain that must be protected, stating that this area has several creeks and large areas designated to floodplain that will limit the developable area.
September 18, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 15
Chairperson Cornelius asked for an estimate of parkland, right-of-way, and floodplain that would consume the developable area of the property.
Director Armstrong clarified that around 20% to 30% of this property is comprised of parkland, future right-of-way, floodplain, and open spaces. Chairperson Cornleius asked for clarification that zoning requests do not reflect the
applicant and what can be addressed with the request.
Director Armstrong confirmed that this zoning is a pure land use determination. Commissioner Chaloupka asked for clarification on the two empty adjacent lots.

notified. Director Armstrong added additional clarification on notifications that all property owners within a 200-foot buffer radius were notified as well as all HOAs in the area.
Commissioner Collins asked why the applicant is requesting a GS General Suburban zoning rather than an RS Restricted Suburban zoning. Mr. Kurtz clarified that the Future Land Use Plan indicates a GS General Suburban zoning
which is also consistent with the adjacent zoning.
Commissioner Collins asked if zoning the property to an RS Restricted Suburban zoning district would inhibit the ability to use the property.
Mr. Kurtz stated that he is unsure of the utilization of the property if zoned to an RS
Restricted Suburban zoning district.
September 18, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 8 of 15
Commissioner Chaloupka asked about the parkland, right-of-way, floodplain, and open spaces, and how it affects the developments estimate of 886 dwelling units.
Director Armstrong clarified that the TIA’s calculation of 886 dwelling units is based on use. Commissioner Finch asked if the Commission could recommend a larger lot size.
Director Armstrong clarified that the Commission could recommend a different zoning district or a density cap with a condition based on a public safety, health, or general welfare issue.
Chairperson Cornelius asked the applicant how the timeline of development would change
if the Commission recommended a change in zoning or placed a condition on the zoning. Mr. Kurtz stated that he is unsure of the changes in timeline for the development if the Commission were to recommend a different zoning district or placed a condition on the
zoning.
Commissioner Collins commented that an RS Restricted Suburban zoning designation is a more suitable land use and would not inhibit the use of the property.
Commissioner Collins moved to recommend approval of the rezoning.
