Planning -Division:
The request is in the College Station Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows
Residential Low Density (RL) for the requested area. The Residential Low Density
(RL) 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 remains less than 6 units per acre.
The application is to rezone from R-3 (Single Family District) to R-7A
(Manufactured Home District).
Surrounding the application area in all directions is land shown as Residential Low
Density (RL). Much of the land is wooded and undeveloped but platted for
residential lots. Further to the north and west, is Park/Open Space (PK/OS)
buffering the residential area for a Mining (M). The Park/Open Space (PK/OS)

FILE NO.: Z-9775
category includes all public parks, recreation facilities, greenbelts, flood plains, and
other designated open space and recreational land. The Mining (M) category
provides for the extraction of various natural resources such as bauxite, sand,
gravel, limestone, granite or other. Mining uses will include assurances that these
resources be properly managed so as not to create a hazard, nuisance or the
disfigurement or pollution of the land.

Frazier Pike to the east is the social and business center of College Station with
areas of (MX), (PK/OS), Commercial (C), (P/1), Residential High Density (RH), and
Residential Medium Density (RM) uses. The Mixed Use (MX) category provides
for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses to occur. A Planned Zoning
District is required if the use is entirely office or commercial or if the use is a mixture
of the three. The Commercial (C) category includes a broad range of retail and
wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and general
business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the
trade area that they serve.
