Commission backs rezoning for 11‑unit townhouse plan at 2816 Tabor Road
Summary
The commission recommended approval of RZ26‑17 to rezone 2816 Tabor Road from RD‑5 to multifamily, enabling two townhouse‑style buildings with 11 units. Staff and the applicant said the plan is a low‑density transition between commercial and residential uses.
The Bryan Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 6 recommended approval of rezoning case RZ26‑17 to allow multifamily development at 2816 Tabor Road. Staff planner Paige Jackson said the 1.05‑acre site would be replatted and could accommodate two townhouse‑style buildings totaling 11 units, and that staff found the request consistent with the future land‑use plan.
Glenn Jones of J4 Engineering, the owner’s agent and design engineer, described the units as two‑story, townhome‑style residences with landscaping and buffers to screen parking. "It is a townhome product. It's not apartment. Units are not vertically integrated. They are 2 storey units, front doors," Jones said. Commissioners asked about garages, parking minimums and compatibility; Jackson noted that renderings aren’t tied to rezoning and that site‑plan review will govern garages and access. The commission moved and unanimously recommended approval to City Council; final approval rests with the council.
