Regular Agenda
Regular Agenda Item No. 12.1 -- Public hearing, discussion and possible action on a
rezoning request from A -O Agricultural Open to R -1 Single Family Residential and C -1
General Commercial for approximately 17.22 acres located along Arnold Road.
Director of Development Services Kelly Templin remarked that the applicant requested the
request for rezoning to enable development of the property. Currently, the subject tract has two
zonings, the portion to the south is zoned R -1 and the northern portion is zoned C -1. He
explained that the C -1 zoning does not comply with the Land Use Plan for the area and that it
also does not comply with the development policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan, which
only supports commercial uses at intersections of major roadways. He added that the R -1 zoning
complies with the Land Use Plan but the increase in density would have a negative impact on the
infrastructure. In addition, in order to provide access to the site, by building Arnold Road and
complying with the Thoroughfare Plan, some of the off -site improvements will be required since
a portion of the right -of -way is off -site.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommend denial, without prejudice, of the
rezoning due to infrastructure constraints and noncompliance with the Land Use Plan.
Greg Taggart from Municipal Development Group representing the Texas Hotel Management
Corporation, spoke in favor of the rezoning, stating that the surrounding 17 -acre tract is zoned
C -1, and therefore the requested C -1 rezoning is equitable. Additionally, the owner is prepared
to pay for the construction of a street from his property to Rock Prairie Road.

Regular Agenda Item No. 12.2 -- Public hearing, discussion and possible action regarding a
resolution amending the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the
recommendations of the Rock Prairie / Greens Prairie Triangle Planning Study. Vision
Statement #8, Strategy #3b. Update the comprehensive plan through small area planning.
City Planner Jane Kee presented the small area planning study and recommended amendments to

Vision #8, Strategy #3, whereby the Comprehensive Plan will be updated through the small area
planning process.
The proposed plan preserves the majority of the Rock Prairie Road frontage for residential uses
and places retail commercial and office use along the Highway 6 frontage and at major
intersections consistent with the City's adopted land use policies. The plan provides for a mix of
housing types and residential densities.
The following changes were proposed for the current thoroughfare plan:
• The realignment of Pebble Creek Parkway and Lakeway Drive to accommodate the
access needs of the City's new business park.
• Realignment of Barron Road to accommodate a closed landfill.
• The locations of the two east -west collectors were modified.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that if the school property was sold or
developed privately, the appropriate land use would be office /commercial uses.
Mayor Mcllhaney opened the public hearing.

Longmire becoming one -way and for future parks in the area.

Mr. Parks explained that the MPO met with TxDOT and FHWA in Austin to obtain information
4100 regarding Federal Highway's position on the study's progress. FHWA agreed that an
Environmental Assessment could be possible if option #12 -2 (Bryan bypass) were selected
provided each member of the MPO and Union Pacific approved of it and no significant
controversy formed against it. If another option were chosen an Environmental Impact
Statement would be required. After a number of public meetings, the Citizen's Rail Advisory
Committee recommended that the Policy Committee continue looking at additional ways to
finance the study and recommended #12-2, Bryan Bypass Concept.

Stan Lynch with Dean International described Items No. 12.6 and 12.7. He noted that the Trans
Texas Corridor Plan is visionary and the Governor is to be commended for the plan. The
