Phillips Parkway, which is currently under construction as part of the Bridgewood Phase 1 project. The Bridgewood Phase 1 infrastructure will need to be constructed and accepted prior to acceptance of the Barron Crossing infrastructure. Domestic and fire flow demands will necessitate future water main extensions with the Final Plat. These utilities will be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Sewer: There is an existing 15-inch sanitary sewer line adjacent to the property. A sewer report for the subdivision will be required with the Final Plat, but preliminary analysis of the existing system has indicated that there is available capacity to serve this development. Sewer is to be provided to each lot and extended across the tract to the northwest in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Off-site Easements: N/A Drainage: The subject tract is located in the Spring Creek drainage basin. Development of the subject tract will be required to meet the requirements of the BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines. Flood Plain: No portion of the property has been designated FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. Greenways: No greenways are required or provided. Pedestrian Connectivity: Sidewalks are proposed on both sides of all streets except for William D. Fitch Parkway which is classified as a Freeway/ Expressway on the Thoroughfare Plan and is exempt from sidewalk requirements. Bicycle Connectivity: No bicycle facilities are required or proposed. Streets: Access to the tract is proposed via William D. Fitch Parkway and W.S. Phillips Parkway, which is currently under construction as part of the Bridgewood Phase 1 project. The Bridgewood Phase 1 infrastructure will need to be constructed and accepted prior to Planning &Zoning Commission Page 3 of 5 August 7, 2014 acceptance of the Barron Crossing infrastructure. Each townhouse lot will have driveway access via a public alley. All streets are required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Oversize Request: None requested at this time. Parkland Dedication Fees: Fees in lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of$1,261 per residential lot will be due with the Final Plat. Impact Fees: This project is located within the Spring Creek Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area. Impact fees will be due when Building Permits are issued. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map designates the subject tract as Restricted Suburban and Growth Area IV on the Concept Map. Growth Area IV allows for townhouse and neighborhood-serving commercial when part of a Planned Development of 30 acres or greater. The proposed tract was rezoned PDD Planned Development that allows townhouses and commercial areas with single-family residential being located within the adjacent Bridgewood Subdivision to the south. The proposed Preliminary Plan meets the use and zoning requirements contained within the PDD for this tract. 2. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed Preliminary Plan complies with the Subdivision Regulations contained in the Unified Development Ordinance except the following waiver request; • UDO Section 12-8.3.F `Alleys' —The applicant is requesting a waiver to the limitation that dead end alleys not exceed 100 feet. The applicant is proposing dead end alleys that exceed 100 feet between Blocks 2 & 3 and behind Block 8. The limitation of dead end alleys to 100 feet is related to fire and sanitation service requirements. The dead end areas are not needed for sanitation service as the Preliminary Plan depicts the consolidation of sanitation into dumpster enclosure areas that are not located on dead end alleys. Fire coverage is accomplished for Block 8 by the fronting street, Chinoak Way, and for Blocks 2 & 3 by providing a fire access gate with knox box, Grasspave2, and laydown curb at the end of the alley stubbing to Barron Cut-Off. In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver: 1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land; The applicant states that the topography and shape of the tract restrict the options to layout the subdivision lots such that these are special circumstance that would otherwise deprive them of reasonable use of their land. 2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 5 August 7, 2014 The applicant again states that the topography and shape of the tract necessitate the waiver. 3) That the granting of the waivers will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and Granting the waiver will not be detrimental public health, safety, or welfare as the purpose of the requirement is to provide adequate fire and sanitation service. These services are being accommodated by other means as stated above. Also, restricting alley access to Barron Cut-Off near the intersection of W.S. Phillips Parkway will likely increase vehicular safety in the area. 4) That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Granting of the waiver does not affect the ability of surrounding areas to subdivide. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to Unified Development Ordinance Section 12-8.35 Alleys. If the waiver is approved by the Commission, the Preliminary Plan should be approved. If the waiver is denied, the Preliminary Plan should also be denied. SUPPORTING MATERIALS 1. Application 2.

Is this application a continuation of a project that has received prior City platting approval(s) and you are requesting the application be reviewed under previous ordinance as applicable? F- Yes FX- No If yes, provide information regarding the first approved application and any related subsequent applications (provide additional sheets if necessary): Project Name: City Project Number(in known) Date/Timeframe when submitted Requested wavier to subdivision regulations and reason for same (if applicable): We respectfully request a wavier from Section 12-8.3., F., 4. of the UnifiedDevelopment Ordinance or the a lays between Blocks 2 &3 and behind Block 8. Due to topographic features and parent tract configuration, the length of the alley needs to be greater than 100 feet. The alley between Blocks 2 & 3 could be connected to Barron Cut-off but we believe this would cause traffic issues on Barron Cut-off due to the distance from the intersection of Barron Cut-off and W. S. Phillips Parkway. We recommend the installation of Grasspave2 and gate with a knox box for Fire Department use lo nly. It is our understanding, that the alley behind Block 8 is not needed by the Fire or Sanitation Departments. 1/11 Page 2 of 6 Regarding the waiver request, explain how: 1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land. Yes, the topography and shape of the tract impacts the way in which the property and be used. We believe that the strict adherence to the subdivision regulations deprives us of reasonable use of the property. 2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Yes, we believe that the waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of our property rights due to the topography and shape of the property. 3. The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering subdivision regulations. We do not believe the granting of the waiver will be detrimental to the public. We believe it would be better for the public health, safety and welfare of the public to allow the two alleys to be constructed as requested. The alley between Block 2 & 3 would allow emergency vehicles while preventing the public from using the through access. The alley behind Block 8 is not required for fire protection as per our conversations with the Fire ©e artment. 4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance. No, granting the waiver will not impact or prevent the orderly subdivision of other land in accordance with the UDO Fee in lieu of sidewalk construction is being requested because of the following condition (if applicable): 1. r An alternative pedestrian way or multi-use path has been or will be provided outside the right-of-way; 2. F The presence of unique or unusual topographic, vegetative, or other natural conditions exist so that strict adherence to the sidewalk requirements of the UDO is not physically feasible or is not in keeping with the purposes and goals of the UDO or the City's comprehensive Plan; 3. F A capital improvement project is imminent that will include construction of the required sidewalk. Imminent shall mean the project is funded or projected to commence within twelve (12) months; 4.

The applicant held a meeting on July 29, 2014 at the Wellborn Community Center in which former Wellborn Community Plan Resource Team members were invited. No Resource Team members attended, however approximately 15 Creek Meadows residents were present. Some of the residents expressed concerns about shared amenities with the new development. Those present were in favor of the proposed changes. Property owner notices mailed: 34 Contacts in support: At the time of staff report, two individuals had expressed support of the rezoning as it reduces densities north of Greens Prairie Road West. Contacts in opposition: At the time of staff report, two individuals expressed opposition with concerns of existing roadway conditions throughout this area, including Greens Prairie Trail, Greens Prairie Road West, Live Oak Street, and Royder Road. Additional concerns included the location of multi-family housing in this area because of both its distance to Texas A&M and potential character impacts on the single-family housing in developed portions of Creek Meadows. Inquiry contacts: Six ADJACENT LAND USES Direction Comprehensive Plan Zoning Land Use North Wellborn Estate R Rural Rural home South Restricted Suburban PDD Planned Single-family housing Development District East Wellborn Estate and R Rural and PDD Duplexes, estate Restricted Suburban Planned Development subdivision District West Wellborn Preserve, R Rural and PDD Rural home, storage Restricted Suburban, Planned Development units, and vacant Wellborn Commercial, and District Wellborn Estate Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 8 August 7, 2014 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: South of Greens Prairie Road West (2008) North of Greens Prairie Road West (2011) Zoning: South: PDD Planned Development District (2008) North: R Rural (upon annexation in 2011) Final Plat: Not platted Site development: Vacant BACKGROUND The subject property was master-planned as part of the Creek Meadows Subdivision prior to annexation into the City of College Station and without the benefit of land use controls. The Master Plan designates the portion of the subject property north of Greens Prairie Road West for multi-family housing and the portion south of Greens Prairie Road West for duplex development. While the properties have since been annexed into the City limits, the development is vested to the original master-planned uses. After the southern portion was annexed in 2008, a PDD rezoning was approved that conformed to the Master Plan. The portion north of Greens Prairie Road West was not included in that PDD zoning because it was still in the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). During the development of the Wellborn Community Plan (an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan), members of the Resource Team expressed a desire to reduce the planned density north of Greens Prairie Road West. At that time, representatives of Creek Meadows Partners, LP agreed to pursue a rezoning in the area that would essentially exchange the originally planned density north of Greens Prairie Road West with the lower density originally intended south of Greens Prairie Road West. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated Wellborn Suburban north of Greens Prairie Road West and Restricted Suburban south of Greens Prairie Road West on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The Wellborn Suburban designation is described in the Wellborn Community Plan as having "...an intense level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of high-density single-family residential lots (minimum 5,000 square feet). Development features should be incorporated such as greenbelts, garages, and limited lot coverage to reduce the character impact of surrounding residential uses." The proposed uses on this portion of the subject property are single-family homes. The Restricted Suburban designation is described as having "...a moderate level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of medium-density single-family residential lots (acreage 8,000 square feet) when clustered around open space, or larger lot sizes when not clustered." The proposed uses on this portion of the subject property are multi-family and single-family homes. The density of the overall Creek Meadows Development is proposed to be four dwelling units per acre —consistent with the Future Land Use and Character designations on the property. Planning &Zoning Commission Page 5 of 8 August 7, 2014 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: Portion north of Greens Prairie Road West: The subject property and surrounding area are currently zoned R Rural and are developed as both rural density single-family homes and rural-character commercial. The proposed uses for this area include single- family homes on minimum 5,000 square foot lots. The original Master Plan for the Creek Meadows showed a future land use of multi-family in this area. Through the Wellborn Community Plan, area residents expressed a desire to reduce future densities. Single- family uses are more compatible with the existing uses and zoning of nearby properties. Portion south of Greens Prairie Road West: The subject property and surrounding area are included in the Creek Meadows PDD zoning, which includes single-family and duplex uses. The proposed multi-family use is denser than uses in the surrounding area. 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 subject property is suitable for the uses and density proposed in the PDD Planned Development District. The overall density of the Creek Meadows neighborhood will remain around 4 dwelling units per acre. The rezoning reduces the possible number of dwelling units in Creek Meadows. Road infrastructure in this area (at the perimeter of the subdivision) was developed while in still in the ETJ and does not meet an urban City standard. 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: North of Greens Prairie Road West: The existing zoning of this portion of the property is R Rural, however, because the Creek Meadows development began in the ETJ without the benefit of land use control, this portion was shown for multi-family development and is vested to that use. South of Greens Prairie Road West: The current PDD in place on this portion of the property allows for duplex units in this area similar to the developed portion of Creek Meadows to the east and is suitable for this property. 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 proposed PDD rezoning essentially relocates permitted multi-family units from north of Greens Prairie Road West to south of Greens Prairie Road West, and locates single- family to the north. The intent of the swapped land use densities is to maintain the permitted densities while responding to the character of the surrounding area. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District via existing 6-, 8-, and 16-inch mains. There are also 6- and 8-inch sanitary sewer lines available to serve this property. There is currently capacity in the existing sanitary sewer system to support some additional development, however capacity will need to be analyzed further with the platting of each individual phase. It is anticipated that improvements to the downstream sanitary sewer system will be needed in the near future. Drainage is mainly to the south within the Planning &Zoning Commission Page 6 of 8 August 7, 2014 Peach Creek Drainage Basin. Access to the sites will be available via Greens Prairie Road West and Creek Meadows Boulevard North. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure, with the exception of the referenced sanitary sewer, appears to be adequate for the proposed use. SUMMARY OF CONCEPT PLAN The following base districts are requested for the proposed residential uses: ■ Single-family land uses — GS General Suburban Zoning District ■ Multi-family land uses — R-4 Multi-Family Zoning District Meritorious Modifications The following modifications are proposed through this rezoning request: Setbacks: Single-family land uses — ■ Reduction of the minimum front setback from 25 feet to 20 feet to conform with existing modifications in the Creek Meadows neighborhood ■ Reduction of the minimum side setback from 7.5 feet to 5 feet to conform with existing modifications in the Creek Meadows neighborhood Multi-family land uses — ■ Minimum side setback reduced from 7.5 feet to 5 feet ■ Minimum front setback reduced from 25 feet to 20 feet Density: Reduced maximum multi-family density from 20 dwelling units per acre to 12 dwelling units per acre. Height: Maximum multi-family height reduced to 35 feet to conform to the single- family detached maximum height of 35 feet and that the Single-Family Protection included in Section 7.2.H of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) not be required. The Section of the ordinance limits commercial and multi-family structures to a height equivalent to half of the distance to adjacent single-family property lines. Buffering: The applicant requests that no buffering or additional plantings be required between multi-family and single-family residential land uses. The UDO requires a planted ten-foot buffer with a wooden fence. Parking: Garages incorporated into the multi-family design shall count towards the required number of parking spaces. Community Benefits and Additional Enhancements The applicant offers the following as community benefits and/or project enhancements: ■ Reduced densities on the north side of Greens Prairie Road West adjacent to rural and estate properties; ■ Open spaces provided through future detention and easements as shown on the Concept Plan; ■ Attached and/or detached two car garages required with each single-family dwelling unit as requested by residents through the Wellborn Community Plan; ■ Reduced allowable heights within the multi-family area to mirror surrounding single- family zoning and land uses; and Planning &Zoning Commission Page 7 of 8 August 7, 2014 ■ Reduced multi-family density potential.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. Annexation by the City of College Station in 2008. A rezoning change is necessary to continue the next phases of the Creek Meadows Subdivision and continue the development that was approved when the property was in the City's ETJ. Revised 4/14 Page 2 of 7 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. The proposed zone change is in acpordbnce with the Comprehensive Plan. The property on the north side of Greens Prairie Road is shown-*klon the Land Use Plan,however, the property is vested to allow a multi-family residential uses. The property on the south side of Greens Prairie Road is shown as Restricted Suburban on the Land Use Plan. 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 intent of this PDD request is to modify the previously approved residential densities to blend with the character of the area and maintain the overall density. The multi-family residential uses approved along the north side of Greens Prairie Road are being moved to the south side at the entrance to the Creek Meadows Subdivision. In exchange, the north side density will be reduced to provide a single family density adjacent to existing commercial and rural property. 4. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The original master planned Creek Meadows community integrated a mix of commercial, residential and multi-family land uses. This rezoning is simply modifying the previously approved residential and multi-family land uses and applying additional character standards. 5. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Existing permitted land uses on the subject property are single-family and multi-family residential uses. 6. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Marketability for the property is primarily for residential uses as previously approved and planned in the PDD request and Concept Plan. 7. List any other reasons to support this zone change. The proposed PDD will allow the continued development of an existing master planned community. The additional standards will provide for the mix of single family and multi family products within close proximity. Revised 4/14 Page 3 of 7 8. State the purpose and intent of the proposed development. The previously approved purpose and intent of the PDD is to provide single-family, multi-family and commercial development within the master planned community of Creek Meadows in such a way that provides integration of mixed uses within the community. The proposed concept plan simply modifies the previously approved and vested residential densities resulting in no net gain of dwelling units. CONCEPT PLAN SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. What is the range of future building heights? Future building heights for both multi-family and single-family land uses will be a maximum of 35. 2. Provide a general statement regarding the proposed drainage. The existing and future development of Creek Meadows has and will be in conformance with the 8/CS United Stormwater Design Guidelines and 8/CS Unified Standards for construction of street and drainage improvements. 3. List the general bulk or dimensional variations sought. See attached. 4. If variations are sought, please provide a list of community benefits and/or innovative design concepts to justify the request. See attached. Revised 4/14 Page 4 of 7 5. Explain how the concept plan proposal will constitute and environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area. The proposed PDD and Concept Plan is designed to blend a mix of residential densities and products that fit in with the character of the surrounding area. The multi-family development will have 'Big House"characteristics and design elements to look like a large home with the same density of a townhome development. 6. Explain how the proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The rezoning proposal is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and meets the overall density of 8,000 sy, ft. per unit eventhough this project is vested and development began prior to annexation. 7. Explain how the concept plan proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development. By modifying the existing residential densities, the proposed PDD and Concept Plan is more compatible with existing land uses than the previously approved approach. Reducing the density along the noth side of Greens Prairie Road to single family provides a step down approach from the previously approved multi-family. The character standards proposed with this PDD makes the previously approved densities more compatible. 8. State how dwelling units shall have access to a public street if they do not front on a public street. All dwelling units will have adequate addess to a public street. Single family lots will have direct access and multi-family units will have shared access. g. State how the development has provided adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to: parks, schools, and other public facilities. The existing Creek Meadows subivision has provided all required public improvements and will continue to meet all development standards. Revised 4/14 Page 5 of 7 10. Explain how the concept plan proposal will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The Concept Plan is a minor change from the previously approved Plan. The additional character standards offered through this PDD guarantees a much more attractive and sustainable development than previously approved. 11. Explain how the concept plan proposal will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonable anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area. dequate vehicular,bicycle and pedestrian circulation is provided with the overall master plan. The proposed PDD zoning and Concept Plan does nal increase the overall density that was previously approved. Please note that a"complete site plan"must be submitted to Planning&Development Services for a formal review after the"concept plan"has been approved by the City Council prior to the issuance of a building permit- except for single- family development.
