Planning Division: The request is in the College Station/Sweet Home Planning
District. The Land Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for the requested
area. The Residential Low Density category provides for single family homes at
densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is
typically characterized by conventional single family homes, but may also include
patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain
less than 6 units per acre. The application is to change the property from
AF (Agriculture and Forestry District) to R-4 (Two-Family Residential District) to
allow for the future development of the site.
Surrounding the application area, the Land Use Plan shows Residential Low
Density (RL) in all directions. The Residential Low Density category provides for
single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such
residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family
homes, but may also include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided
that the density remain less than 6 units per acre.
Master Street Plan: To the north is Frazier Pike and it is a Minor Arterial on the
Master Street Plan. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban
area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the
urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects
of traffic and pedestrians on Frazier Pike since it is a Minor Arterial. This street
may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for
entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class II Bike Route shown on Frazier Pike. A Bike Lane
provides a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
H.ANALYSIS:
Jare Doyne, owner of the 0.31 acre property located at 4920 Frazier Pike, is
requesting that the property be rezoned from "AF" Agriculture and Forestry District
to "R-4" Two-Family District. The rezoning is proposed to allow construction of one
(1)duplex structure. The property is comprised of one (1) platted lot; Lot 4, J. E.

Garden's Addition. The property currently contains a one-story single family
structure which will be removed from the site prior to construction of the duplex
structure.
The property is located in an area that is primarily zoned AF and R-2. There is a
scattering of other zonings in this immediate area; R-4, R-7A and PD-R. Single
family residences are located to the east, west and north (across Frazier Pike). A
church and construction company are located further east, along the south side of
Frazier Pike. An elementary school, daycare center and a small duplex
development are located further west. Undeveloped property is located to the
south.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as "RL" Residential Low
Density. The requested R-4 zoning does not require a plan amendment.
Staff is supportive of the requested R-4 zoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The proposed R-4 zoning is consistent with the future plan
designation of Residential Low Density. The property is made up of almost one
third of an acre. A duplex on this property will represent a density of approximately
six (6) units per acre. The proposed R-4 zoning will not be out of character with
the overall area. There is an R-4 zoned lot and a group of three (3) duplex
structures within three (3) blocks of the subject property. Staff believes rezoning
this property to R-4 will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the
general area.
I.STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-4 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 24, 2020)
The applicant was not present. There were no persons present registered in support or

"staff recommendation" above. There was no further discussion. The item as placed on
