REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated as General
Sububran on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. This area is
located in Growth Area V which calls for high-density single-family lots, townhomes, and
duplexes for this area.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The current zoning of R Rural is not compatible
with the density present in the adjacent single-family residential developments of The
Barracks II and Buena Vida. The proposed rezoning of GS General Suburban and T
Townhouse will allow for single-family residential and townhome development.
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 current
zoning designation of R Rural allows for large-lot single-family development or agricultural
use of the land but is not compatible with the land use designation for this area. A rezoning
is necessary to meet the property owner's intent to develop the property for a more dense
single-family development.
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 5
May 15, 2014
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 allows for large-lot single-family residential use. This property is located adjacent to
Rock Prairie Road West, a two-lane major collector, and a rezoning is necessary to allow for
a higher density single-family residential development.
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
applicant states that due to the density of single-family development adjacent to this
property and the requirement to construct a minor collector, the R Rural zoning classification
limits the marketability of the property.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located in Wellborn
Special Utility District water service area. Development of the tract will have to meet the
City's fire flow requirements. There are 6-inch and 8-inch sanitary sewer lines adjacent to
the tract which will need to be extended according to City Guidelines. The site is located in
the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area. The subject tract is located in the Bee
Creek Tributary "B" drainage basin and drains generally to the north. Future development of
the tract will have to meet the requirements of City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The
property is located adjacent to Rock Prairie Road West, a two-lane major collector. The
future extension of Towers Parkway, a two-lane minor collector, is adjacent to a portion of
the site and will have to be built with the development of the tract.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning based on its compatibility with the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use and Character Map with the condition that the gross density not exceed
eight units per acre overall.

REZONING SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary.
There is ongoing development of single family residential development, both detached and townhome units, in this
area of College Station.
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 for this area. This tract is in Growth Area V of the
comprehensive plan which proposes high-density single family lots, townhomes and duplexes for this area.
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 Barracks 11 Development consists of high density single family and townhomes and the Buena Vida Subdivision
has high density single family lots. These developments are similar in character to the proposed development so
they will be compatible.
10/10 Page 2 of 3
4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The property has the necessary utilities available for the development and has access to Rock Prairie Road and will
connect to the adjacent developments so the property is suitable for the proposed development.
5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The existing use of a single family residence with a horse stable facility is a suitable use for the Rural zoning district
and would allow additional large single family lot development. However, this use would not comply with the
Comprehensive Plan for this area.
6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The requirement to construct a portion of the Minor Collector Street and the minimal number of single family lots the
Rural zoning would allow limits the marketability of the property.
7. List any other reasons to support this zone change.
This zone change would continue the residential development in this growth area.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true,
