REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates the
future land use and character of the subject tract as Natural Areas Protected. As stated by
the Com
protected from development. Such areas are preserved for their natural function or for
Protected when the Comprehensive Plan was adopted as the City was pursuing acquisition
of the tract to incorporate it into the adjacent Southwood Athletic Park. Since this transaction
did not occur, this designation is no longer appropriate for the tract. This request considers
the tract with the Institutional land use designation that is placed on the adjacent College
Station Medical Center property to the east and College Station Utilities property to the
erally for areas that are, and are likely to

The subject tract is also located within the area of the Medical District Plan, which Plan has
been drafted and is nearing completion. The Medical District Plan identifies this tract for
medical and related uses. The proposed development provides the opportunity for senior-
targeted residential facilities, continuum of care, and medical facilities that are consistent
with the medical-related vision of the draft Medical District Plan. Additional description
regarding the proposed uses will be provided in the Review of Concept Plan section later in
this report.
Two minor collectors are shown on the Thoroughfare Plan across the subject tract. Normand
Drive will be extended from Rock Prairie Road to the south between the College Station
Medical Center and Southwood Athletic Park and will intersect Arnold Road which will be
extended from the west along the southern boundary of the tract. These thoroughfares are
depicted on the Concept Plan and will be constructed with the first phase of development of
the tract.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood:
The proposed rezoning permits medical and
senior-targeted residential uses that are complementary to the nearby College Station
Medical Center. The Concept Plan also proposes pedestrian connections to the adjacent
Southwood Athletic Park and the community center located within it. While height limitations
would not otherwise apply to this tract, the rezoning proposes to limit the height of buildings
to be more compatible with the single-family uses in the General Suburban designated area
to the southwest. The western portion of the development will be limited to a maximum of
three stories and 50 feet in height and the center portion of the development to a maximum
of four stories and 60 feet in height.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment:
The subject tract
is suitable for the proposed rezoning. The proposed senior-targeted housing and other
medical-related uses will help meet a demand for these facilities in the community and
provide them in close proximity to other medical, retail, and recreational facilities.
A Request For Proposal (RFP) for a desired senior housing project was sent out by the City
earlier this year for the use of $1 million in HOME funds granted to the City by the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development. The firm NRP was identified as the
recipient of the funds with a proposed senior housing project identified on the subject tract.
The Council has passed a resolution supporting a NRP tax credit application to the State of
Texas for the project.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:
The subject
tract is currently zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential. Single-family uses are a suitable use
of the property as the tract is adjacent to a community park and is in close proximity to other
single-family uses.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:
The subject
tract has been zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential since 2002. While single-family is an
appropriate use of the subject tract, the presence of an 80-foot wide easement for BTU
electric transmission lines that diagonally bisects the center of the tract and the need to
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 5 of 8
December 15, 2011
extend two minor collectors create a more challenging environment for a lower intensity
single-family development to occur.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use:
The subject tract contains two future
thoroughfares , Normand Drive and Arnold Road, both of
which are classified as two-lane minor collectors with a suburban context. The proposed
development will facilitate the extension of both of these thoroughfares. In 2003, the City
received right-of-way dedication and $135,000 in funds from the College Station Medical
Center for construction of the portion of Normand Drive through the corner of their property.
With use of these funds, the developer will be responsible for the construction of this portion
of roadway and oversize participation by the City may be needed to realize the appropriate
design of the street.
The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch water line located along the southwestern
and northeastern property boundaries. The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch
sanitary sewer main along the northeastern property boundary and an 8-inch sanitary sewer
main along the northwestern property boundary. The subject tract is located in the Lick
Creek Drainage Basin and is not encroached by a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard
Area. Future
Water Design Guidelines. The Concept Plan does illustrate the use of detention facilities to
mitigate post development drainage flows.
Review of Concept Plan
The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the
proposed zoning district:
-targeted residential facilities,
continuum of care, and medical facilities that are located within walking distance to
In accordance with this purpose statement, the Concept Plan proposes residential and non-
residential use areas. The residential use areas will adhere to the dimensional standards and
requirements of the R-6 High Density Multi-Family district while the non-residential use will
follow the C-1 General Commercial district standards. The following uses will be permitted in the
residential areas:
Senior-Targeted Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Active-Adult communities;
Senior-Targeted Mixed-Income Multifamily Developments;
Nursing Homes;
Convalescent Homes;
Extended Care Facilities;
Skilled Nursing Facilities; and
Memory Care Facilities.
The following uses will be permitted in the non-residential use area:
Hospital;
Offices;
Medical Retail;
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 6 of 8

Medical Clinics;
Skilled Nursing; and
Memory Care Facilities.
Stand-alone retail and restaurant uses shall not be permitted unless they serve as an
accessory use to another primary use.
The applicant has provided the following supplemental definitions to these uses:
Senior: Adults 55 years of age or older.
Senior-Targeted Community: A community that provides features, amenities,
operational standards, services and use restrictions that adults 55 years of age or older
not
find desirable. By choosing to provide senior-targeted amenities, and consciously
provide amenities desired by the general public of ages less than 55, seniors often self-
select into these communities. Many senior-targeted communities are often age-
restricted as well, to reinforce and bolster the sense of safety and community desired by
senior residents.
Senior-targeted communities feature amenities consciously planned into the
development; among these particular amenities, open space within half a block and
recreational facilities are the most common. These recreational facilities include walking
trails and park spaces, along with a lifestyle center/ clubhouse that emphasize clubs and
activities and feature resort-style amenities. Amenities often include an indoor and/or
outdoor heated swimming pool, whirlpool tub, steam and/or sauna rooms, separate
facilities for aerobics and weight training, rooms for cards, games and billiards, and often
feature a great room with a commercial kitchen as well as facilities for tennis, golf,
shuffleboard, bocce, and more. Clubs and activities focus on scrapbooking and other
crafts.
Active-Adult Communities: Active adult housing refers to communities either age-
targeted or age-restricted to people aged 55 or older. Active adult housing is often
designed for complete single-floor living, with features like laundry facilities and the
master bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The properties have few, if any, steps to
get into the home, and often boast details like toggle/rocker light switches, lever handles,
shower stalls with seats, wide doorways, and other features that make life easier for
people who are experiencing the pains associated with aging (like arthritis).
Active adult communities feature amenities consciously planned into the development;
among these particular amenities, open space within half a block and recreational
facilities are the most common. These recreational facilities include walking trails and
park spaces, along with a lifestyle center/ clubhouse that emphasize clubs and activities
and feature resort-style amenities. Amenities often include an indoor and/or outdoor
heated swimming pool, whirlpool tub, steam and/or sauna rooms, separate facilities for
aerobics and weight training, rooms for cards, games and billiards, and often feature a
great room with a commercial kitchen as well as facilities for tennis, golf, shuffleboard,
bocce, and more. Clubs and activities focus on scrapbooking and other crafts.
The Concept Plan proposes three separate use areas that divide the subject tract into thirds.
The eastern portion that is closest to the College Station Medical Center may consist of the
residential and/or non-residential uses listed above. The center portion will consist of residential
uses with maximum height of four stories and 60 feet. The western portion will also consist of
residential uses with a maximum height of three stories and 50 feet.

The applicant proposes to construct a portion of the multi-use path identified on the Bicycle,
Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan that is intended to connect Arnold Road to Rio Grande
Boulevard through the Southwood Athletic Park. The applicant is proposing to construct the
portion of the multi-use path adjacent to their development on the park property and receive
some parkland dedication fee in lieu of credit for the construction. The Park and Recreation
th
Advisory Board is scheduled to consider the proposal at their December 13 meeting and their
The applicant also proposes a pedestrian connection along the electrical easement that is
intended to provide additional access from Arnold Road to the community center in the
Southwood Athletic Park. The pedestrian pathway will have public access via a public access
easement but will be privately owned and maintained and constructed at the time of site
development.
With the development of the tract, two minor collectors will be extended with the first phase of
development. Arnold Road will be extended across the southern portion of the property and it
will intersect the extension of Normand Drive from Rock Prairie Road to the southeast corner of
the tract.
Through the PDD, the applicant is requesting two meritorious modifications to achieve the
objectives of the development:
· UDO Section 7.2.I Table Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements:
The applicant is
requesting a reduction in parking requirements due to the senior-oriented nature of the
development and the reduced vehicle and parking demand related to this type of
development. The minimum off-street parking requirements are based on a ratio of the
number of spaces per the gross square feet of floor area for the use. The parking ratio for
Medical or Dental Clinics will be reduced from 1 space : 200 square feet to 1 space : 280
square feet. The requirements for Office, Personal Service Shop, and Retail Sales & Service
uses will be reduced from 1 space : 250 square feet to 1 space : 350 square feet. Multi-
family residential uses will be reduced from 1.5 spaces per bedroom for one-bedroom units
and 1.25-1.5 spaces per bedroom for two-bedroom units to 1.15 spaces per bedroom for
one and two-bedroom units.
· UDO Section 8.2 regarding block length and block perimeter related items:
The applicant
is requesting that the proposed Concept Plan meet the block length, block perimeter, and
access way requirements of the subdivision regulations. If the tract is considered with an
Institutional land use designation, block length and block perimeter requirements do not
apply. In addition, a through street into the tract is not practical with park property
surrounding it to the rear. The proposed pedestrian path along the electrical easement will
be sufficient to meet the Access Way requirements.

Staff recommends approval of the proposed PDD Planned Development District.
