Applicant, Crissy Hartl, Mitchell & Morgan Engineers, was available to address and answer questions from the Commission.
Chairman Christiansen asked for the reasoning for the request to rehear prior to the 180-day waiting period. Developer, Matthew Stewart, Edelweiss Subdivision, College Station, explained the timing of the development request explaining that there is financial impact to the developer’s earnest money. Commissioner Guerra asked if as part of the Planned Development District, is there an opportunity to request that there be a Homeowner’s Association (HOA) as part of the development. Mr. Stewart stated that all recent developments have had HOAs, and privately maintained streets.
Commissioner Mather asked for the developer’s process timelines.
Mr. Stewart stated that they have looked at maps and are working on underground detention. Commissioner Cornelius asked for clarification on what is planned for the development and when
the item would come to the Commission. Senior Planner Lazo stated that the quickest the item would be presented to the Commission would be August. Commissioner Mirza asked if staff is recommending approval of the item. Senior Planner Lazo stated that staff has not made a recommendation at this time. Chairman Christiansen stated that the City Council did not approve the previous request, and there was a significant amount of public opposition. Mr. Christiansen asked if any outreach has been
done at this time. Mr. Hartl stated that there was a virtual neighborhood meeting on July 12th. Ms. Hartl further
explained that there is a level of public distrust that a multi-family development will be proposed again.
Chairman Christiansen asked if there will there be any additional outreach. Ms. Hartl stated that there is no planned additional outreach, and the applicant plans to make the
August 19th Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Chairman Christiansen asked how many participants attended the virtual neighborhood meeting. Ms. Hartl stated that there were 18 participants. Kyle Bryant, Dove Crossing, College Station, spoke in opposition of the request to rehear, citing concerns that the public was not informed of the request to rehear going to the Commission on July 15th, during the neighborhood outreach meeting. Mr. Bryant also stated that the City Council
Page 6 of 8
July 15, 2021 P&Z Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 5
has already rejected the previous request and there is no good reason to grant a waiver to rehear early.
Commissioner Mather asked presuming that the Commission allows the rehear, will all public notification still be performed. Senior Planner Lazo confirmed that all legally required public notification will still be performed by staff. Commissioner Guerra asked as far as zoning and land use, are there any other land uses that would allow a townhome development. Senior Planner Lazo stated that there are no other land uses that would allow outright townhomes.
Commissioner Guerra stated that staff was not proposing to change any land use through the update to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map update this summer for any property that
had come before the Commission and was denied. Mr. Guerra asked if this the only way an applicant can come forward to change land use.
Senior Planner Lazo confirmed. Commissioner Osborne motioned to recommend approval to waive the 180-day waiting period requirement for a Comprehensive Plan to be reheard by the Commission and City Council. Commissioner Guerra seconded the motion. Chairman Christiansen stated that he would like to see compromise between developer, applicant, and citizens. Mr. Christiansen requested more outreach by the applicant and developer. Commissioner Osborne stated that the applicant is doing the right thing, and more citizen education is needed.
The motion passed (7-0). 7. Discussion and possible action on future agenda items – A Planning & Zoning Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has not been given. A statement of specific factual information or the recitation of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to
place the subject on an agenda for a subsequent meeting. There was no discussion. 8. Adjourn
