Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by changing

GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected for approximately 0.62 acres of
land, generally located at 1600 Texas Avenue South. Case # REZ2017-000022.
Madison Thomas, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant is requesting a rezoning
from GC General Commercial and GS General Suburban to approximately 0.51 acres of GC
General Commercial and approximately 0.11 acres of NAP Natural Areas Protected in order
improve the already existing commercial development on the portion of the property that is
currently zoned GC. The Natural Areas Protected area would provide a designated buffer area
along the creek. The current commercial use is on the portion of the property that is designated as
commercial. Ms. Thomas, state however, due to the remainder of this property being zoned GS
General Suburban, the commercial portion is not able to further expand on the property. General
Suburban uses would not be ideal here due to the size, location, and close proximity of roads and
commercial uses.

unanimously to recommended approval.
