Scott league, Abstract No. 50 and Crawford Burnett league, Abstract No. 7, in College Station, Brazos County, Texas, including portions of the F.S. Kapchinski Subdivision as described by a plat reconstructed from deed records recorded in volume Y, page 618-A of the Mechanics & Materialman's Lien Records of Brazos County, Texas, and subsequent replats of portions of it, generally for the properties located along Park Place and Boardwalk Court. Regular Items 9.1 and 9.2 were opened and presented together. 9.2. Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2024- 4549 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 GS General Suburban or D Duplex to MH Middle Housing and HOO High Occupancy Overlay for approximately 1.10 acres being all of that certain tract or parcel of land lying and being situated in the Richard Carter league, Abstract No. 8, in College Station, Brazos County, Texas, being a portion of Lot 12 of the D.A. Smith Subdivision as described by plat recorded in volume 49, page 106 of the Deed Records of Brazos County, Texas, and the northeast half (approximate) of the adjoining right-of-way of Turner Street, generally for the properties located along Gilbert Street and Turner Street. Jeff Howell, Planning and Development, stated that the intent of the Mixed Residential land use is to accommodate a walkable pattern of small lots, small blocks, and well-connected street pattern that supports surrounding neighborhoods. Developments in this district should prioritize a mix of housing types and scales located near community facilities or adjacent to commercial or neighborhood centers. CCM 091224 Minutes Page 7 The MH Middle Housing zoning district is aligned with that vision. The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within Mixed Residential include: middle housing, duplex, townhouse, and limited -scale single-family zoning. Finally, a portion of the area also contains the floodplain from the adjacent Wolf Pen Creek tributary, which is proposed to be covered by the portion zoned as NAP Natural Areas Protected. For Natural and Open Areas, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following: This land use designation is generally for areas that represent a constraint to development and that should be conserved for their natural function or open space qualities. These areas include floodplains, riparian buffers, common areas, and open space. The boundaries of the Natural & Open Areas land use are illustrative, and the exact location of floodplains and other physical constraints are determined during the development process. Mr. Howell went on to state that the subject property is bordered by commercial and multifamily zoned properties to the north, multifamily development to the south and west, commercial uses to the east closer towards Texas Avenue. Development pressure continues to grow as new generations of students, young professionals, families, and seniors move to College Station; allowing and encouraging redevelopment opportunities helps alleviate some of the pressure in the market. The MH Middle Housing zoning district enables redevelopment of these lots at an appropriate scale, permitting the increase in residential density on these sites. The residential uses permitted in the MH Middle Housing zoning district are appropriate for this area, as it allows for additional residential density to meet market demand, while still fitting into the context of the surrounding areas. Additionally, the HOO High Occupancy Overlay, which allows shared housing uses, was determined to be appropriate for the subject properties due to the proximity to Texas A&M University and a Texas A&M Transportation Services bus route and the development pattern of the properties within the area. Public engagement sessions were held earlier this year in February and March to receive additional feedback prior to moving forward with the survey work necessary. After receiving the completed survey and considering the rezoning criteria, City staff has determined that this area is appropriate for rezoning to MH Middle Housing and HOO High Occupancy Overlay and are recommending approval. The HOO High Occupancy Overlay would allow the shared housing use as long as the property met the requirements for that use. Both items were heard at the August 15th, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting where the Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval. At approximately 11:11 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened the Public Hearing. Clif Groce, College Station, came before Council stating his concerns of Area K of working-class taxpayers being pushed out with this overlay and the neighborhood next to them are receiving the overlay. Virgia Thomas, College Station, came before Council to state that with an area potentially growing to accommodate a higher population and streets that fire trucks can't get down the rezoning is a safety issue. There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 11:20 p.m. (9.1) MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember Smith, the City Council voted two (2) for and five (5) opposed, with Mayor Nichols and Councilmembers Smith, Harvell, Cunha and Yancy voting against, to adopt Ordinance No. 2024- 4548, amending Appendix A, Unified Development Ordinance, Article 4 "Zoning Districts," Section CCM 091224 Minutes Page 8 4.2 "Official Zoning Map" of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by changing the zoning district boundaries from GS General Suburban or PDD Planned Development District to MH Middle Housing and HOO High Occupancy Overlay or MH Middle Housing and HOO High Occupancy Overlay and NAP Natural Areas Protected for approximately 18.66 acres being all of that certain tract or parcel of land lying and being situated in the J.E.

This section of future Minor Collector is approximately 1,675 feet in length, of which approximately 450 feet is located in existing right-of-way and approximately 1,225 feet is located on property owned by the First Baptist Church of College Station.
