1. Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2019-
4141 amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12 -4.2, "Official
Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the
zoning district boundaries from PDD Planned Development District and R Rural to PDD
Planned Development District for approximately 3 acres being a portion of Jackson Estates
Phase One, Block 1, Lot 1 generally located southwest of the intersection of Rock Prairie Road
West and Holleman Drive South.
Jade Broadnax, Planning and Development, stated that this request is to increase the size of the site
and modify the PDD Concept Plan to include an increase to the zoning boundary of approximately
0.8 acres, which proposes modifying the previously approved 8,000 square foot multi-tenant
commercial building to two separate 5,600 square foot commercial buildings. Commercial Building
One would be developed first, and limited to Suburban Commercial uses, while Commercial
Building Two would be developed second and limited to Convenience Store/Fuel Sales uses. The
associated Landscape Plan provides an additional 0.2 acres of reforested area to serve as private
detention and drainage, which was approved on the previous Concept Plan and Landscape Plan. The
PDD proposes additional site area and a 3,200 square foot increase in the total commercial building
area, but limits commercial activity related to fuel sales to Commercial Building Two. It also
provides an additional 0.2 acres of reforested area on the updated Concept Plan and associated
Landscape Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their November 21, 2019 meeting
unanimously recommended approval (6-0). Staff also recommends approval of the request.
