REGULAR AGENDA

2018-4064 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 Rural to RS
Restricted Suburban and NAP Natural Areas Protected for approximately 46.18 acres
located near North Forest Pkwy, generally located north of Appomattox Dr. and the Emerald
Forest Subdivision.
Justin Constantino, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant has requested a rezoning
from R Rural to 33.5 acres of RS Restricted Suburban and 12 acres of NAP Natural Areas
Protected, and the RS zoning district is designed to provide land for detached medium-density,
single-family residential development. He explained that these areas consist of residential lots with
an average lot area of ten thousand (10,000) square feet or an average of eight thousand (8,000)
square feet when clustered around open space.
Mr. Constantino, also stated that the NAP area is a designated buffer area along Carters Creek,
which runs along the property boundary, which creates a separation between the residential zoned
area and the creek bed. This proposed zoning change would be similar to the properties existing
to the south, which is the adjacent property of undeveloped and agricultural uses is similarly
compatible with the potential Restricted Suburban subdivision or for portions of it to remain as an
agricultural use for grazing livestock.
