Item No. 5.1.
Barracks West Ph 3 Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Sponsor: Jeff Howell
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an
ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Mixed
Residential to General Commercial for approximately 1.047 acres at 3423 Cain Road and 3197
Holleman Drive South. Case #CPA2024-000006 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at
the January 23, 2025 City Council Meeting- Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map amendment.
Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map from Mixed Residential to General Commercial for approximately 1.047 acres,
generally located east of the intersection of Holleman Drive South and Cain Road. General
Commercial is defined as areas of commercial activities typically located along regionally significant
roads. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment is in conjunction with a rezoning of a portion of the
property to GC General Commercial to allow for additional commercial uses in the area. It is the
applicant’s intent to develop uses allowed within the proposed General Commercial zoning district on
the subject property.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property and
those directly abutting it have a future land use designation of Mixed Residential. The Mixed
Residential land use designation is appropriate for moderate density residential development and
may serve as an area of transition for development. The purpose of the Mixed Residential land use
designation is to support neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, accommodate a well-connected
street pattern and may be located near commercial centers. The adjacent properties are currently in
the process of subdividing to be consistent with the T Townhouse zoning district. The immediate
area is primarily developed as attached residential development (townhome and fourplexes).
The properties to the south, east, and west are designated as Mixed Residential as well. The
properties to the north are designated as Neighborhood Center. The Neighborhood Center areas are
areas appropriate for a mix of uses, including both residential and commercial. Generally, these
areas tend to be smaller than urban center areas and encourage commercial activity along major
roadways. Due to their context, these areas tend to create walkable activity centers and support
multi-family uses as well. This request to change the land use designation of the subject property to
General Commercial would allow for the development of a largely undeveloped property with close
proximity to Holleman Drive South.
2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the
immediate area concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: The applicant is
Page 9 of 29
requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use & Character Map to General Commercial and has
also requested a rezoning to General Commercial for a portion of the property. The intent of General
Commercial is to accommodate a wide range of commercial uses and concentrate commercial
development near major intersections and thoroughfares. The subject property is located at the
intersection of Holleman Drive South and Cain Road, about 1000 feet north of Deacon Drive. This
area continues to experience a high amount of residential development as owners look to develop
the remainder of the land between Deacon Drive and Cain Road. This property would be compatible
with existing uses, development patterns, and character of GC General Commercial zoned properties
in the area.
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on October 21, 2024. All property owners within 200 feet
of the subject property were notified of the neighborhood meeting, and approximately zero members
of the public were in attendance. Attendees were only the applicant, property owner and City Staff.
The proposal is compatible with the character of the area as it allows for commercial development
that is compatible with the surrounding area.
3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: There is no FEMA designated
floodplain on the property. While not within the subject property, there are existing waterbodies
located in the general area.
4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation
network: Water services will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District. Wastewater services
will be provided by College Station Utilities. There is adequate water and sanitary sewer capacity to
support the proposed amendment. Drainage and all other infrastructure required with site
development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design
Guidelines.
The subject property is located near the intersection of Holleman Drive South and Cain Road, as well
as adjacent to Towers Parkway. Holleman Drive South is identified as a Minor Arterial on the
Thoroughfare Plan. The property is also near Towers Parkway, which is identified as a Minor
Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed General Commercial designation may increase
the potential traffic generated in comparison to the existing Mixed Residential designation, however a
Traffic Impact Analysis with the rezoning was not required. The applicant states that commercial
property is wanted on the west side of the railroad with the majority of the area being residential,
there may be a need for commercial uses.
5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The intent
of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan is to create distinctive places, vibrant districts, attractive
neighborhoods, revitalized gateways and corridors, and conserved natural areas. The proposed
amendment to General Commercial, defined as areas that accommodate a wide range of commercial
uses, is appropriate for this property as it provides infill development along a major
commercial corridor of the city.

What element of the Comprehensive Plan and at what location is requested to be amended?
Land Use & Character Designation
What is the amendment requested?
1.047 Acres of Mixed Residential land use to be amended to General Commercial land use.

immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole?
General Commercial is warranted adjacent to Holleman Drive South with the increasing residential development
in the area.
Explain the impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas and infrastructure, including water,
wastewater, drainage and transportation network.
Properties adjacent to the subject property are currently Mixed Residential Land Use, and commercial property
is wanted on the west side of the railroad. The majority of the surrounding area is residential, so there may be a
need for commercial uses.

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 Rural & T Townhouse to T Townhouse (2.253 acres) &
GC General Commercial (1.047 acres) for approximately 3.30 acres at 3417 & 3423 Cain Road and
3197 Holleman Drive South, generally located east of the intersection of Holleman Drive South and
Cain Road. Case #REZ2024-000021 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the January
23, 2025 City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request as it is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan, the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and compatible with the
surrounding area.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 3.30 acres of land generally located south of the
intersection of Holleman Drive South and Cain Road from R Rural and T Townhouse to T
Townhouse and GC General Commercial. The tract proposed to be rezoned consists of two un-
platted properties and a small portion of common area which was platted in October 2024 as part of
Barracks West Phase 1 subdivision. The majority of the property was originally zoned R Rural upon
annexation to the City in 2002, while a small portion was recently rezoned to T Townhouse in 2023.
This zoning request is in effort to provide additional housing and residential density to this area, as
well as commercial uses along the corridor. The applicant is requesting the zoning district change to
allow for a proposed townhome development which would not be allowed on properties zoned R
Rural. The applicant is also requesting the commercial zoning district for a proposed commercial
development which would not be permitted within the R Rural or T Townhouse zoning districts.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject tract is designated as Mixed Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use &
Character Map. For the Mixed Residential land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following:
Areas appropriate for a mix of moderate density residential development including, townhomes,
duplexes, small multifamily buildings (3-12 units), and limited small-lot single family. These areas are
appropriate for residential infill and redevelopment that allows the original character to evolve. These
areas may serve as buffers between more intense multi-family residential or mixed-use development
and suburban residential or neighborhood conservation areas.
The intent of the Mixed Residential land use is to accommodate a walkable pattern of small lots,
small blocks, and well-connected street pattern that supports surrounding neighborhoods.
Developments in this district should prioritize a mix of housing types and scales located near
community facilities or adjacent to commercial or neighborhood centers. A portion of this
Page 19 of 29
development is aligned with that vision.
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within the Mixed Residential land use include:
Middle Housing, Duplex, Townhouse, and limited-scale single-family zoning.
The applicant has submitted an amendment request for a land use change from a Mixed Residential
portion of the property to General Commercial. The proposed General Commercial land use
designation is appropriate for concentrated areas of commercial activities that cater to both nearby
residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large and located
along regionally significant roads. Due to their context, these areas tend to prioritize automobile
mobility.
The proposed rezoning request to GC General Commercial is consistent with the amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning request to T Townhouse is consistent with existing
Comprehensive Plan land use designation.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
context of the surrounding area:
The subject property is near other existing townhouse uses which are located across Towers
Parkway to the east. The area to the south was recently rezoned to allow for the continuation of
townhouse uses as well. There is an existing single-family attached residential development also
near the subject property to the north across Cain Road. To the north, there is also an existing
residential development consisting of multi-family structures as well. Along Holleman Drive South to
the northwest, there is an existing commercial development as well as further to the south which
includes a convenience store as well. The proposed zoning district is appropriate in the context of the
area as it would allow for infill with additional housing options and commercial uses located adjacent
to a major thoroughfare.
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 a townhouse and commercial
development. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards as set forth
in the Unified Development Ordinance.
4. Whether there is 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 is adequate to support the needs of this
development. Drainage and any other infrastructure required with site redevelopment shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject
property is located near the intersection of Holleman Drive South and Cain Road, as well as adjacent
to Towers Parkway. Holleman Drive South is identified as a Minor Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan.
The property also is near Towers Parkway, which is identified as a Minor Collector on the
Thoroughfare Plan. The existing use is expected to generate less than 150 trips in any peak hour;
therefore, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required to be submitted with the application.
5. The marketability of the property:
The applicant states the existing rural zoning limits the development and rezoning will improve
marketability. Rezoning the property to T Townhouse as well as to GC General Commercial will
make the property more marketable in the future since, as stated by the applicant, there is a demand
for higher density residential and commercial uses in the area.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
With the increasing residential development in the area, general commercial is warranted adjacent to Holleman.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
A comprehensive plan amendment has been submitted for this tract, so that the zoning is compatible with the
land use.
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 current rural zoning severely limits developable uses and is not the highest and best use for the tract.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
The combination of general commercial along Holleman and residential at the rear of the tract provides nearby
commercial development to serve the residence.
