DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
PDD CONCEPT PLAN
STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka, AICP, Sr. Planner Report Date: September 4, 2007
E-mail: jprochazka@cstx.gov Meeting Date: September 14, 2007
For
SUMMIT CROSSING (CPDD) (07-00500167)
A Concept Plan shall be required prior to any development of property zoned Planned
Development District (PDD) or Planned Mixed-Use District (P-MUD).
Zoning District: PDD Planned Development District
Approved Land Uses:
• Townhomes (for the west 25 acres only)
• Duplexes on individually platted lots with garages
• Public and private parks
• Open space
Location: 4001 Harvey Road, generally located along the north side of Harvey Road, west of
FM 158 and east of the Crecent Pointe Subdivision
Applicant: Jim Easterly, agent for The Summit Crossing, LLC, property owner
Item Summary: This item is for review of a Concept Plan for a 106-acre residential subdivision
zoned PDD Planned Development District. The purpose of the PDD is to create a high-density
residential community with amenities that provide for an enhanced quality of life.
The development is planned in seven phases and approximately 600 dwelling units are
proposed. The development includes two minor collector roadways, the extension of Pamela
Lane and the extension of Hicks Road. The plan also proposes four access points to Harvey
Road along the approximately 3000-feet of frontage.
Parking is proposed to be provided in the rear for lots which have access to a rear alley. Lots
without rear alley parking will generally have parking in the front. The PDD zoning requires that
any duplex unit have a garage.
Amenities proposed by the applicant include open space and landscaped areas, and a
decorative street entrance to the subdivision with a water feature along the entrance, as well as
landscaping to help create a screen along Harvey Road.
The Concept Plan states that "natural sources such as stream channels, dense vegetation or
wooded areas will be protected where possible," however, these areas have not yet been
identified.
The Concept Plan also states that "sidewalks will be provided in accordance with City of College
Station requirements." This will include sidewalks on one side of residential streets, and on both
sides of collector roadways. Cul-de-sac streets do not require sidewalks. Additional bicycle and
pedestrian easements have been proposed in three locations within the first phase. No
additional pedestrian or bicycle facilities have been identified on the Concept Plan.
While the Concept Plan is intended to be more conceptual in nature, staff has identified several
elements of the plan that may necessitate variances in the future, including excessive block
lengths, location and design of street intersections, and street off-sets.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: This property was included as sub-area 6 in the 30/60
Study that updated the Comprehensive Plan in 2002. Sub-area 6 was described as having
"rolling terrain, rising generally to the north and east. Parts of the area are wooded, with heavier
concentrations of trees along drainage ways."
As a result of this study, this area was reflected as High Density Single-Family residential on the
Land Use Plan to allow for clustered development and smaller lots. The wooded areas along
drainage ways were intended to remain as natural amenities within the future development.
The study also recommended that residential development not be oriented to Harvey Road.
Instead, development in this area was recommended to be oriented inwards towards central
focal points such as parks, Home Owner Associations common properties and similar facilities.
Parks and Recreation Board Recommendations: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
accepted a land dedication of 8.8-acres of property located along Harvey Road and the planned
extension of Pamela Lane.
Greenways Program Manager Comments / Recommendations: The proposed "open space /
detention areas" lacks detail showing how they will be treated in a creative way and how they
will be used to preserve natural features. Will they be cleared as detention areas? Will they be
a feature for the area or will homes back up to them? Will they be accessible to residents?
Administrator Comments / Recommendations: The Unified Development Ordinance states
that "the purpose of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage innovative
development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural environment." Several
small drainage ways lined with dense vegetation exist on site and may provide for the
opportunity for natural amenities within the development. The Concept Plan does not show how
these areas will be preserved or enhanced. In addition, there are several areas of dense
vegetation and unusual topography that are shown for future duplex development. Staff
recommends that these areas be identified for preservation or enhancement. In addition, staff
has not identified any amenities for this development beyond minimum City requirements. The
approved land uses include private parks and open spaces, yet very little have been included on
the Concept Plan.
Review Criteria:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with
the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and
purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street
directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not
limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle,
or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated
by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing
zoning and land uses in the area.
Minimum Requirements: Unless otherwise indicated in the approved Concept Plan, the
minimum requirements for this development shall be those stated in the Unified Development
Ordinance for duplex (R-2) and townhome (R-3) development.

For
FITZWILLY'S (AW) (07-00500207)
Zoning District: NG-1, Core Northgate
Location: 303 University Drive
Applicant: Ronald Kuehnle
Item: Presentation, possible action and discussion on a waiver to sidewalk improvements and
streetscaping requirements according to Section 5.6 Northgate Building Design Standards of
the Unified Development Ordinance for Fitzwilly's, located at 303 University Drive in Northgate.
Item Summary: Fitzwilly's is an existing bar located in Northgate on University Drive, just east
of Boyett. The applicant has been working with the business owner to make improvements at
the back of the property. According to Section 5.6.B.8 Sidewalk Standards, all proposed
development, redevelopment, rehabilitation and fagade projects in Northgate shall also include
upgrading sidewalks to meet the current standards. Sidewalks along University Drive are
required to be 12 feet wide and they must be constructed of colored brick pavers as approved in
the College Station Design Standards: Northgate. The applicant is requesting a waiver to the
sidewalk improvement requirement, stating that he is requesting a "reduction of the minimum
sidewalk width from 12' to 6'. At least 10 additional feet of sales area (sidewalk cafe) will be
provided between the 6' sidewalk and the building."
The UDO states that one 4" caliper street tree is required every 25' for properties along
University Drive (three trees would be required in this case); however, the applicant is also
requesting a waiver to this standard.
The applicant is not offering any alternatives to the requested waivers above.
Issues/Items for Review:
1. Streetscaping requirements
2. Sidewalks
