EXHIBIT "B"
The purpose of the PDD zoning district is to redevelop and consolidate multiple
underperforming properties and tracts for a vertical mixed use and multi - family development at
the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive. The vertical mixed use area consists of
ground floor general commercial uses with multi - family units above. The multi - family area
consists of multi -story buildings oriented along the side and rear of the development along the
former Meadowland Street. Building heights range up to five stories with parking garages up to
seven or eight stories. The development is proposed in two phases with the vertical mixed use
and some of the multi - family buildings developed in the first phase with the remainder of multi-
family areas along the former Meadowland Street and Hensel Street in the second phase. Most of
the parking is provided in three parking garages located in different areas of the development.
All existing buildings, including the former Plaza Hotel tower, will be demolished before
building permits will be issued for new construction. The GC General Commercial zoning
district for commercial uses and R -6 High Density Multi - Family zoning district for the
residential uses are the base zoning districts with a modified list of P -MUD Planned Mixed Use
District uses as described below. The Concept Plan is provided as Exhibit "C."
1. Zoning District Standards — UDO Section 12 -5.2 "Residential Dimensional Standards"
and Section 12 -5.4 "Non- Residential Dimensional Standards ": Increase the maximum
residential unit density permitted by R -6 High Density Multi - Family from 30 units per acre
to 60 units per acre. Also, reduce the minimum building setbacks for the GC General
• Commercial and R -6 High Density Multi- Family based zoning districts to 5 feet along all
property lines with the understanding that sufficient easements for utilities will be provided.
2. Use — UDO Section 12 -6.3.0 "Use Table ": The P -MUD Planned Mixed Use District is the
base district for uses for the development with Health Care, Medical Clinic being added as a
permitted use and Conference /Convention Center, Country Club, Duplex, Fraternal Lodge,
Fuel Sales, Golf Course /Driving Range, Parking as a Primary Use, Sexual Oriented
Businesses, Single - Family Detached, and Shooting Range (Indoor) uses removed from the
permitted list.
3. Parking — UDO Section 12 -7.3 "Off- Street Parking Standards ": For the commercial uses,
a ratio of 1 parking space per every 250 gross square feet of use (1:250) applies and
additional parking is not required if more than 25% of these areas are utilized as intense
commercial uses. The minimum residential parking requirement is reduced to one parking
space per bedroom. Also, up to 5% of the parking spaces in the garage may be compact
parking spaces. Off - street parking along Hensel Street does not require interior or double
landscape islands in the row.
4. Transportation — UDO Section 12 -7.4 "Access Management and Circulation ", Section
12 -8.3.G "Blocks ", and Section 12 -11.2 "Defined Terms " - Public Way: Modifications
related to transportation requirements:
a) As shown on the Concept Plan, driveways are consolidated into one on Texas Avenue
and one on University Drive as well as other driveways on the proposed Public Ways
• that do not meet minimum spacing standards due to existing conditions.
ORDINANCE NO. 2.014-355g Page 5
b) As shown on the Concept Plan, the Public Way projection along Public Way Section
C -C will suffice for meeting block length and block perimeter requirements.
c) The maximum curve radius of a Public Way may be reduced from 200 -foot radius to
a 45 -foot radius. Sidewalks may be back of curb instead of three feet off back of curb
with sidewalk widths being at least nine feet in Public Way Section A -A, 10.5 feet in
Section B -B (can be reduced to 8 feet where parallel parking is provided), and 8 feet
on the development side of Public Way Section C -C though reducing down to as
small as 6 feet where constrained by proposed buildings.
5. Signs — UDO Section 12 -7.4 "Signs ": Instead of using standard commercial or multi - family
signage as the basis, the development utilizes the signage permitted in Wolf Pen Creek (UDO
Section 12- 5.8.A.11 Signs) with the following modifications:
a) Signs may be approved administratively by staff with appeals to staff's interpretations
being able to considered by the Design Review Board;
b) Wayfinding signage (UDO Section 12- 7.5.AA Campus Wayfinding Signs) is
permitted for this development and may also be located at street intersections with
Public Ways and along Public Ways with parallel parking;
c) Hanging signage (UDO Section 12- 5.8.B.12.c.3) is permitted with a minimum
clearance of three inches from the building and edge of canopy;
• d) Low profile freestanding signs do not have a setback requirement and may be allowed
within 150 feet of each other at the interior intersection;
e) Light pole signage may be utilized and is limited to 21 square feet per light pole.
These signs are not in lieu of freestanding signage, are intended as development
identification and special event signage, will not be utilized for tenant signage, and do
not count against attached signage limitations;
1) Attached signage used as development identification signage at the corner of Texas
Avenue and University Drive may extend up to two feet from any exterior building
face, mansard, awning, or canopy; and
g) Projections signs may be used for identification signage for the general area and not
count against the attached signage square feet unless they contain copy of the
individual business. Projection signs may be oriented toward the public rights -of -way
or public ways and one permitted per tenant per public way frontage.
6. Landscaping — UDO Section 12 -7.6 "Landscaping and Tree Protection ": With the one
exception as stated below, the development utilizes Northgate standards contained in UDO
Section 12- 5.8.B.9 "Landscape and Streetscape Standards" with the following modifications:
a) The Hensel Street portion of the development shall meet the standard requirements of
UDO Section 12 -7.6 Landscaping and Tree Protection;
b) The street trees along Texas Avenue and University Drive may be placed outside of
TxDOT right -of -way (and thus not back of curb). Street trees along Public Way
Sections A -A and B -B shall be 50 feet on center with alternating planting areas
spaced at 50 feet on center consisting of non -canopy trees, hedges or seasonal
ORDINANCE NO. 2o' q -35514 Page 6
•
plantings. The Public Way Section C -C will have planting areas of 25 feet on center
consisting of non -canopy trees, hedges, or seasonal plantings;
c) Building and Site Lighting shall still comply with UDO Section 12 -7.11 Outdoor
Lighting Standards; and
d) The Street Lights section is not applicable as lights are owned and maintained by
property owner.
7. Architecture — UDO Section 12 - 7.10 "Non Residential Architecture Standards ": Instead
of using this Section as the basis for architecture standards, the development utilizes the
Northgate standards contained in UDO Section 12- 5.8.B.4 "Building Design Standards." All
subsections (Building Orientation and Access, Building Transparency, Architectural Relief,
Roof Type, Exterior Building Material, Exterior Building Colors, and Canopies /Awnings)
shall apply to all non - residential and residential buildings.
8. Infrastructure — Section 12 - 3.4.A "Applicability ": Building permits may be issued for this
development prior to platting the remaining tracts of land with the condition that a temporary
blanket easement be placed on the property and the property platted/replatted once all
utilities are constructed and relocated and before Certificates of Occupancy are issued for the
buildings.
Community Benefits and Additional Enhancements
S The following community benefits, additional enhancements or improvements have been
identified:
1. Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan through redevelopment of an under - performing,
blighted area that is designated as a Primary Arrival Gateway and described by the
Comprehensive Plan as an area that should "focus on bringing vertical mixed -use and other
aspects of urban development to this portion of the City." All existing buildings will be
demolished before building permits will be issued for any new construction.
2. The Northgate Building Design Standards (UDO Section 12- 5.8.B.4) apply to all buildings,
residential and non - residential. Currently there are no architectural requirements for
residential buildings outside of the Northgate District.
3. The Northgate Bicycle Parking Standards (UDO Section 12- 5.8.B.7) apply to the
development except that the design of the bicycle rack design is determined by the owner and
approved by the City and bicycle parking may be located within the parking garage areas.
Currently there are not bicycle parking (bike rack) requirements for residential developments
outside of the Northgate District.
4. Installation of a bus stop shelter as approved by the City internal to the site to promote transit
usage and another along University Drive to utilize District bus service. Bus stops or bus
shelters are not required by standard ordinance.
5. The Northgate Dumpster and Mechanical Equipment Standards (UDO Section 12- 5.8.B.10)
shall apply with the exception that vegetation may also be used as a screening tool.
6. The Northgate Outside Storage and Display Standards (UDO Section 12- 5.8.B.13) shall
apply to the development.
ORDINANCE NO. 2z l A1 - 3554 Page 7
•
7. The parking garage on Texas Avenue is wrapped with general commercial use on ground
floor and residential above and the other parking garages along the former Meadowland
Street are wrapped with multi - family uses.
8. An eight -foot bicycle and pedestrian route is proposed along the majority of the southwest
property line to connect multi - family buildings and two parking garages to University Drive
to allow easier bicycle and pedestrian movements from the development toward the Texas
A &M University campus.
9. Mitigation for the Texas Avenue and University Drive intersection is proposed through a
variety of transportation improvements including the intersection and median break for the
former Meadowland Street being closed, a dual left turn lane on University Drive eastbound
to Texas Avenue northbound and queue length extended, a dual right turn lane on Texas
Avenue southbound to University Drive westbound, multiple driveways consolidated into
one driveway on Texas Avenue and one driveway on University Drive, the median on Texas
Avenue will be extended north past the proposed Public Way driveway, and a deceleration
lane will be added to the proposed Public Way driveway on University Drive.
