Fraternity Row Rezoning - Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach Sponsor: Gabriel Schrum 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 boundary from R-4 Multi-Family to MF Multi-Family for approximately 2.018 acres at 550 Fraternity Row, being Lot 1, Block 70 of the Southwood Valley Phase 28 Subdivision, generally located at of the intersection of Fraternity Row and Deacon Drive. Case #REZ2024-000025 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the January 9, 2024 City Council Meeting - Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: • Diverse Growing Economy Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the request. Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 2.018 acres of land located at 550 Fraternity Row from the retired zoning district R-4 Multi-Family to a current zoning district of MF Multi-Family. The subject property was originally platted in 1972 and has been utilized as a fraternity house up into the recent past in which it has sat vacant. The applicant intends to rezone the lot for Dormitory use providing housing for the residents with a common kitchen, restrooms, living rooms, and overall gathering space. They will also provide an office space within the structure which would not have been allowed by the retired R-4 zoning district. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map as Urban Residential. For the Urban Residential land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following: 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 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 9 of 19 The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land use include: Multi-family, townhouse, mixed-use, and limited suburban commercial zoning. The proposed rezoning is in line with the Comprehensive Plan as the request is to update zoning to the current district of MF Multi-Family and will maintain the nature of the development with an integrated office space. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The subject property is adjacent to low to medium-density residential development with detached single-family dwellings to the north, east and as well as to the west across Deacon Dr. The adjacent property to the south is developed as a fraternity house. 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. While the multi-family use is already allowed within the existing retired zoning district of R-4, the applicant has indicated that they would like to utilize a portion of the existing structure for an office. Non-residential uses are permitted up to a maximum of fifty percent of the total floor area if incorporated into the residential structure in the MF Multi-Family zoning district. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The size and location of the subject property is suitable for uses allowed within the proposed zoning district. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards for the zoning district. 4. Whether there are 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 surrounding the site is adequate to support the needs of this zoning change. Site-specific improvements necessary to support the development such as sanitary sewer connections, drainage, and any other infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. A TIA was not required on this rezoning request as the potential trip rate is below the 150 peak trip threshold. 5. The marketability of the property: The uses allowed by the proposed zoning district are generally marketable for the area. The applicant states that, “the property is marketable for multi-family housing since it has previously been used for multi-family housing.” Budget & Financial Summary: Attachments: 1.
