REGULAR AGENDA
1. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance No.
2018-3994 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 boundaries from R Rural to GC
General Commercial on approximately 4.5 acres of land located at 11990 Old Wellborn
Road.
Rachel Lazo, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant has requested a rezoning for
approximately 4.5 acres of land from R Rural to GC General Commercial. The property is
currently designated as Urban and in Growth Area V on the Comprehensive Land Use and
Character Map. This designation calls for intense land use activities that include commercial uses.
The property is currently zoned R Rural, a zoning district for low density acreage home sites. The
proposed zoning of General Commercial would better suit the current designation on the
Comprehensive Plan for more intense uses. Water service will be served by Wellborn SUD.
Sanitary Sewer service is available via an existing 12-inch sewer line that is along the rear of the
tract and parallel to Cain Road. The subject tract is not in the floodplain per Firm Panel
48041C0305F, dated 4/2/2014. It is also in the Bee Creek’s Drainage Basin, and will need to
provide detention for any proposed increased impervious with future site development. Drainage
and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed
in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. All other infrastructure appear to have
adequate capacity to serve the proposed rezoning.
