to the Commission recommending denial of both items. Mr. Howell also stated that if the
rezoning is approved, staff recommends a condition be placed on the rezoning that the construction, installation, and acceptance of approximately 506-foot portion of sewer line (from manhole numbers O38B2M007 to O38B2M006) on Old Wellborn Road be improved within 24 months of the signed ordinance for the zoning to take effect. This line
must be approved by the City of College Station Water Services Department and Planning
and Development Services Department, and in compliance with the B/CS Design Guidelines. Commissioner Collins asked if staff is recommending denial to preserve commercial use
in the area and asked for additional information on access to the property and traffic in the
area. Senior Planner Howell confirmed that Wellborn Road does not turn into this property, the only access to the property is from Rock Prairie Road, however Old Wellborn Road does
stub to this property as right-of-way.

development.
Commissioner Finch asked if Old Wellborn Road is paved. Senior Planner Howell confirmed that a portion of Old Wellborn Road is paved.
Commissioner Finch expressed concerns about access to the property from Rock Prairie Road. Senior Planner Howell confirmed that limited access is available from Rock Prairie Road,

July 2, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 8
Director Armstrong clarified that access to this parcel is difficult either way, further clarifying that a GC General Commercial zoning district can include any level of
commercial use.
Chairperson Cornelius asked when the property was first designated for residential use in the Comprehensive Plan whether the railroad grade change had been completed at that time.
Director Armstrong confirmed that the railroad grade change was completed after the Comprehensive Plan was amended to designate the property as GC General Commercial. Commissioner Higdon asked if there were any plans to expand Rock Prairie Road West
beyond the railroad intersection.
Administrator Schubert stated that Rock Prairie Road West is designated as a minor arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan and that there are no current plans to expand the roadway.
Chairperson Cornelius asked what types of development are permitted under the Business
Center land use designation. Senior Planner Howell confirmed that office and mixed-use developments are permitted within the Business Center land use designation.
Commissioner Collins requested clarification regarding the proposed conditional rezoning in the event the Commission recommends approval. Senior Planner Howell clarified staff's recommended condition for approval: the applicant
must install and obtain City acceptance of approximately 506 feet of sewer line along Old
Wellborn Road (from manholes O38B2M007 to O38B2M006) within 24 months of the signed zoning ordinance for the rezoning to take effect. The improvements must be approved by the City of College Station Water Services and Planning and Development Services Departments and comply with the B/CS Design Guidelines.
Commissioner Chaloupka asked for clarification that the previous City Council requested the property to be mixed-use. Senior Planner Howell clarified that the sewer line has been installed, but not completed,
which is why the zoning has not been established.
Director Armstrong clarified that the general commercial land use designation on the Comprehensive Plan allows for properties to be zoned either GC General Commercial or MU Mixed-Use.
Veronica Morgan, Applicant, Mitchell & Morgan, College Station, was available to present to the Commission and answer questions.

July 2, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 8
Brad Brimley, Avenue Consultants, was available to present to the Commission and answer questions regarding the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) performed for the development.
Commissioner Higdon asked if varying train schedules were computed into the TIA. Mr. Brimley explained that train schedules were not specifically accounted for in the TIA.
Commissioner Watson asked how a.m. and p.m. traffic volumes are calculated.
Mr. Brimley explained that traffic volumes are collected using cameras or other counting devices and incorporated into a traffic model for analysis.
Commissioner Watson requested further explanation of the estimated a.m. trip generation
for the proposed 898-bedroom development. Mr. Brimley clarified that the estimated 144 a.m. peak-hour trips are based on trip generation rates for off-campus student housing.
Commissioner Chaloupka asked if access on Old Wellborn Road was included in the TIA. Ms. Morgan confirmed that Old Wellborn Road is included as part of the development proposal.
Commissioner Collins asked for clarification that either use/development will accommodate the City’s recommendation of a 12-inch sewer line. Ms. Morgan confirmed that the 12-inch sewer line will be installed.
Chairperson Cornelius asked for the maximum height of the proposed buildings. Ms. Morgan clarified that the development would be four to five stories.
Commissioner Chaloupka requested clarification regarding the one-way exit onto Rock
Prairie Road, referencing the turnaround configuration on Brothers Boulevard. Senior Planner Howell clarified that an existing median turnaround is located on Rock Prairie Road.

than Brothers Boulevard.
Commissioner Watson requested an example of a successful mixed-use development.
Page 7 of 22
July 2, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 8
Senior Planner Howell referenced Northpoint Crossing and The Lofts at Wolf Pen Creek as examples of mixed-use developments zoned as PDD Planned Development District.
Chairperson Cornelius asked for clarification on when General Parkway is scheduled to extend. Administrator Schubert clarified that a General Parkway extension would likely be a future
City project unless the properties in the area replat. There are no plans for an extension at
this time. Chairperson Cornelius asked about the amount of commercial development along Holleman Drive available to support the multi-family development.
Senior Planner Howell clarified that there is commercial development on Cain Road, Deacon Drive and Holleman Drive, and Old Wellborn Road. Chairperson Cornelius opened the public hearing.
No visitors spoke. Chairperson Cornelius closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Chaloupka shared concerns for the determination from the previous City
Council stating that losing potential commercial development in this location is a challenge. Commissioner Collins stated that the property's highest and best use is residential
development and supported recommending approval of the rezoning subject to the staff-
recommended condition. Commissioner Higdon expressed concerns regarding the safety of the intersection and traffic exiting the development.
Commissioner Buckley expressed support for residential development in the area. Commissioner Finch expressed concerns regarding mixed-use development in the area.
Commissioner Watson expressed concerns regarding existing and projected traffic in the
area. Commissioner Collins stated that retaining the mixed-use designation would not reduce traffic and that limiting the development to mixed-use would not result in fewer vehicle
trips.

Item No. 5.1.
Seaback Tract Rezoning
Sponsor: Garrett Segraves, Staff Planner
Reviewed By CBC: Planning & Zoning Commission
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion and possible action regarding an
ordinance amending Appendix A, Unified Development Ordinance, Article 4, "Zoning Districts,”
Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by
changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to MF Multi-family, MH Middle Housing, and
NAP Natural Areas Protected on approximately 35 acres generally located at the northern corner of
Victoria Avenue and William D. Fitch Parkway. Case #REZ2026-000006 (Note: Final action of this
item will be considered at the August 13, 2026, City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse and Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
Summary: This request is to rezone 21.263 acres of land from R Rural to MF Multi-family, 4.556
acres of land from R Rural to MH Middle Housing, and 9.478 acres of land from R Rural to NAP
Natural Areas Protected, located at the Northern corner of Victoria Avenue and William D Fitch
Parkway. The property is currently undeveloped, with proposed development consisting of a multi-
family complex at the front along Victoria Ave and Middle Housing townhomes at the rear. The
rezoning intends to increase the density of the property with a transition to lower density as you move
to the abutting single-family development at the rear.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates a portion of the subject
property as Urban Residential. The Comprehensive Plan generally describes the Urban Residential
land use designation as follows:
Areas that are appropriate for a range of high-density multifamily and attached residential
development in various forms, including townhomes, apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings, and
limited non-residential uses that are compatible with the surrounding area.
The intent of the district is to:
• Accommodate a wide range of attractive multifamily housing for a diverse population.
Buildings may be clustered and grouped. Building setback from the street varies but is
generally consistent within a development
• Provide vehicular and pedestrian connectivity between developments
• Accommodate streetscape features such as sidewalks, street trees, and lighting
• Support commercial, service, office uses, and vertical mixed-use within redevelopment
areas
Page 12 of 22
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within the Urban Residential land use include: MF
Multi-family, T Townhouse, MU Mixed-use, and limited Suburban Commercial zoning.
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates a portion of the subject
property as Mixed Residential. The Comprehensive Plan generally describes the Mixed Residential
land use designation as follows:
Areas appropriate for a mix of moderate density residential development including, townhomes,
duplexes, small multifamily buildings (3-12 unit), and limited small-lot single family. These areas are
appropriate for residential infill and redevelopment that allows original character to evolve. These
areas may serve as buffers between more intense multi-family residential or mixed-use development
and suburban residential or neighborhood conservation areas.
The intent of the district is to:
• Accommodate a walkable pattern of small lots, small blocks, and well-connected street
pattern
• Accommodate streetscape features such as sidewalks, street trees, and lighting
• Encourage community facilities, parks, and greenways within neighborhoods
• Support neighborhoods with a mix of housing types and where larger or more dense housing
is located near community facilities or adjacent to commercial or neighborhood centers
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within the Urban Residential land use include: D
Duplex, T Townhouse, MH Middle Housing, and limited-scale single-family.
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates a portion of the subject
property as Natural & Open Areas. The Comprehensive Plan generally describes the Natural &
Open Areas land use designation as follows:
Areas that represent a constraint to development and that should be conserved for their natural
function or open space qualities. These areas include floodplains, riparian buffers, common areas,
and open space. The boundaries of the Natural & Open Areas land use are illustrative, and the exact
location of floodplains and other physical constraints are determined during the development
process.
The zoning district that is generally appropriate within the Natural & Open Areas land use is Natural
Areas Protected.
The proposed zoning district of MF Multi-family, MH Middle Housing, and NAP Natural Areas
Protected would be in line with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
context of the surrounding area:
The property has frontage to Victoria Avenue, which is classified as a 2 Lane Major Collector on the
City’s Thoroughfare Plan. College Station High School is located to the west of this tract, with
General Suburban single-family lots to the north, General Commercial and PDD with a base of Multi-
Page 13 of 22
family to the southeast, and undeveloped lots zoned R Rural to the southwest.
The MF Multi-family zoning district is designed for areas having intense development. This district is
flexible and allows for townhomes, single-unit dwellings, two-unit dwellings, multi-family buildings,
and optional mixed-use development.
The MH Middle Housing zoning district is designed to be flexible and provide a variety of housing
options by-right. It allows for detached single-family residences, duplexes, townhouses, courtyard
houses, live-work units, and small and medium multiplexes. This district is intended to accommodate
a walkable pattern of small lots, small blocks, and a well-connected street pattern adjacent to
commercial and neighborhood centers. Developments in this district are ideal on the edge of more
intense urban and multi-family areas to serve as a transition to single-family zoning districts.
Structures in this district are individually platted, distinguishing them from structures in the MF Multi-
Family zoning district.
The Natural Areas Protected zoning district is designed for public or private property intended for the
conservation of natural areas. Properties in this district are relatively undeveloped and are often used
for recreational or open space purposes or for the conveyance of floodwaters. Properties in this
district are not projected for conversion to more intense land use in the future by the Comprehensive
Plan.
The proposed zoning districts are appropriate for the surrounding area, as the Middle Housing would
be a buffer between the adjacent single-family and the proposed multi-family, while protecting areas
that are designated as floodplain.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The size and location of the subject property are suitable for uses allowed within the proposed zoning
district. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards for MF Multi-family
and MH Middle Housing.
The Natural & Open Area of the Comprehensive plan has had a reclamation flood study done to
show that additional storage within the flood plain would allow for the boundary to be shifted such
that more buildable area is available on the Seaback tract.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
The existing water and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this
development. Detention is required in accordance with the BCS guidelines. Drainage and any other
infrastructure required for the site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject property has frontage to Victoria Avenue, which is designated as a 2 Lane Major
Collector on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Castle Rock Parkway is proposed to be connected to
Victoria Avenue from Phillips Square when this tract develops.
5. The marketability of the property:
Rezoning the property from R Rural to MF Multi-family, MH Middle Housing, and NAP Natural Areas
Page 14 of 22
Protected would allow the lot to be subdivided, providing additional housing, making the property
more marketable.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
According to the College Station Housing Action Plan, the City of College Station is currently addressing a
housing shortage, which includes all housing types and densities. Rezoning this property to MF Multi-family and
MH Middle Housing has the potential to add approximately 600 housing units that are much needed and would
be very valuable for the City.
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 Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map indicates that this property is planned for Urban, Mixed
Residential, and Natural & Open Areas land uses. The rezoning request for MF Multi-Family, MH Middle
Housing and NAP Natural Areas Protected in a configuration that is compatible to these land uses is in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
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 property is currently zoned R Rural. According to the Unified Development Ordinance, the R Rural zoning
district is intended for agricultural uses and limited development activities due to a lack of public infrastructure
and public service limitations. This description does not reflect the existing conditions of the property for public
services and available infrastructure. This property is not suitable for uses permitted by the R Rural zoning
district.

Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
College Station continues to experience steady growth as well as a need for more diverse housing types.
Proposed housing associated with this rezoning request would allow for high and medium-density in the form of
multi-family apartments and townhomes. The proposed housing is compatible with the multi-family housing
approved for the Phillips Square PDD multi-family, adjacent to the southeast.
The proposed medium and high-density housing will also be adequately buffered from nearby single-family
residential uses by parkland and preserved floodplain.
