EXHIBIT "B"
General: The proposed Concept Plan allows the existing use to expand. The applicant provides the
following background information for the proposed zoning request.
"The purpose of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage innovative
commercial development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses within the Wellborn Community.
This District intends to maintain Wellborn's desire to be a community of rural character positioned
for contextually appropriate growth that embodies and sustains the uniqueness and history of the
area. Wellborn's commercial land use is generally for concentrations of commercial activities that
focus primarily on the nearby residents versus the larger community.
This District will cover A&M Super Storage at Wellborn which is an existing commercial
development that wishes to maintain their rural, rustic nature while preparing for future growth and
expansion. After annexation by the City of College Station,this non-conforming land-use needs to be
rezoned to an appropriate district, legitimizing the existing land use, and allowing certain meritorious
acceptations for existing developed conditions".
