SECTION 1A: FUNCTION OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
In accordance with the authority granted by applicable statutes, ordinances, and regulations, the
commission shall approve or disapprove plats, subdivisions, and replats of land within the corporate limits
and extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City. If a plat conforms to this article, state law, and all other rules

SECTION 2: SCOPE AND PURPOSE
2=A This chapter shall govern all subdivisions (see definition of subdivision) of land within the
corporate limits of the City of College Station, Texas, and within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City as established by the Municipal Annexation Act. Such area is extended to two (2) miles
from the corporate limits surrounding the City of College Station, not a part of any other city, and
if by law such distance is changed, this chapter shall apply to and be in conformity with the
distances so approved by law or any amendments thereto.
2=B The subdivision of land is a major factor in the process of sound community growth and ultimately
becomes a public responsibility in that the streets must be maintained and various public services
customary to urban areas must be provided. The welfare of the entire community is thereby
affected in many important respects. Therefore, it is to the interest of the public, to the developer,
and to the future owners, that the subdivisions be conceived, designed, and developed in
accordance with sound rules and proper minimum standards. It is in the intent of these
regulations to encourage the growth of the City of College Station in an orderly manner.
2=C The provisions set forth in this chapter are intended to provide for harmonious development of
the area, and are deemed to be the minimum requirements adopted by the City Council for the
protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
2=D This chapter shall not apply to any lot or lots forming a part of a subdivision created and recorded
prior to the effective date of this chapter, except for purposes of replatting or further subdivision
thereof.

SECTION 6: PROCEDURE AND PLAT REQUIREMENTS
6=A General
6-A.1 The procedure for review and approval of a subdivision plat generally consists of seven
(7) steps. The subdivider may first request a pre -application meeting. The second step is
the preparation and submission of a preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision with the
appropriate application form and impact studies, if applicable.. The third step is the
consideration of the preliminary plat by the Development Services staff. The fourth step
is the consideration of the preliminary plat by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The
fifth step is the application submittal for the final plat with the appropriate application form
and construction documents. The sixth step is the consideration by the Commission of a
final plat together with the required certificates and data. If favorable action had been
taken by the Commission, the final plat becomes the instrument to be recorded in the
Office of the County Clerk when all requirements have been met. The construction
documents when duly signed by the City Engineer are authority to proceed with the
construction of streets and utilities. Nothing in the procedure authorizes construction on
private property.

8-1.1 Drainage Easements
Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage way, natural channel or
stream, there may be required a drainage easement or right-of-way conforming sub-
stantially to the limits of such watercourse, plus additional width to accommodate future
needs as determined by the City Engineer. No construction, including fences, shall im-
pede, constrict, or block the flow of water in any easement or natural watercourse. Such
easement shall not be considered a part of the lot area for purposes of minimum lot size
requirements of the zoning ordinance. Drainage easements may be used for utilities.
8-1.2 Utility Easements
88-12.1 Each block that does not contain an alley as provided in 8-H above, shall have a utility
easement at the rear of all lots, reserved for the use of all utility lines, conduit, and

the entire length of a block. These easements shall be parallel as closely as possible to
the street line frontage of the block.
8-1.2.2 Normal curb section shall be required where utility easements intersect streets.
8-1.2.3 Where utility easements are not themselves straight within each block, or if the same do
not connect on a straight course with utility easements of adjoining blocks, then an
additional easement shall be provided for the placement of guy wires on lot division lines
in order to support poles set on curving or deviating rights -of -way or easements.
8-1.2.4 Utility easements may be required across parts of lots other than as described above
upon recommendation of the City Engineer. Where the proposed subdivision adjoins an
unplatted area, the full twenty foot (20') width of easement may be required along the
rear of lots adjoining the unplatted area.

to or greater than sixty feet (60'). A sidewalk shall be required on one (1) side of all
streets with a fifty foot (50') right-of-way with the exception of cul-de-sac streets. A
sidewalk may be required on cul-de-sac streets if needed to provide through pedestrian
access. Sidewalks shall be placed within the right-of-way as determined by the City
Engineer and when so specified.
8-M.2 The subdivider shall construct all sidewalks according to one of the following placement
alternatives:
(a) sidewalks shall be placed against the back of curb and have a minimum paved width
of six feet (6');

Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Signing and pavement markings for
such facilities shall be in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD). Geometric design criteria for each type of bikeway facility are as follows:
(1) Bike Routes
The placement of bike route signing identifies bicycle compatible streets that will
serve as bike routes. Bike route identification and directional signs shall be located
and installed as indicated on the Bikeway Master Plan.
Bike Routes provide an important function in that they provide for continuity in the
overall bikeway system. Typically most bike routes will occur on local and collector
streets as they are often most compatible for bicycle use without additional
pavement. A minimum of 16 feet outer lane for collector arterial streets measured
from the outer lane line to the back of curb shall be required for bike routes. A typical
bicycle compatible street is shown in Figure 1.
Bike route signing should not end at a barrier. Information directing the bicyclist
around the barrier should be provided.
The roadway width, along with factors such as the volume, speed, and type of traffic;
parking conditions; grade; and sight distance should be considered when
determining the feasibility of a bike route. Roadway improvements, such as safe
FIGURE t

and Modal Sfr**fz

Rev. 4/00
drainage grates, railroad crossings, smooth pavements, maintenance schedules, and
signals responsive to bicycles, should always be considered before a roadway is
identified as a bike route.
(Ordinance No. 2269 of October 9, 1997)
(2) Bike Lanes
The bike lane is located within the vehicular roadway in the outside lane and
is intended for the exclusive use of bicycles. Bike lanes in the City of College
Station must be developed as one-way facilities and carry traffic in the same
direction as adjacent motor vehicle traffic. Two-way bike lanes are not
permitted because:
(i) They require unconventional turns at intersections.
(ii) They are conducive for bicyclists having to go the "wrong way" and
to weave across traffic to bike in the proper lane.
(iii) They require that bicyclists travel in a direction opposite the adjacent
auto lane.
Typical bike lane design and layout is illustrated in Figure 2. A one-way bike
lane against the curb requires a minimum of 5 feet measured from the edge
of pavement, not including the gutter. The bike lane shall be delineated by a
continuous painted stripe. The diamond preferential lane symbol (as
designated in MUTCD) shall be located immediately after each intersection
to inform motorists turning of the restricted nature of the lane.
At intersections, bicyclists proceeding straight and motorists turning right
must cross paths. Striping and signing configurations which encourage
these crossings in advance of the intersection, in a merging fashion, shall be
preferred to those that force the crossing in the immediate vicinity of the
intersection. Typical treatment of bike lanes at intersections is illustrated in
Figures 3 and 4.

Rev. 4/00
Adequate pavement surface, bicycles safe grate inlets, safe railroad cross-
ings, and traffic signals responsive to the bicyclist shall be provided on
roadways where bike lanes are designated. Raised pavement markings and
raised barriers can cause steering difficulties for bicyclists and should not be
used to delineate bike lanes.
In general, parking in bike lanes is prohibited. However, parking may be
permitted in a bike lane in specific areas during specified times. Where
parking in a bike lane is permitted, signs shall be installed to provide notice
to bicyclists of when parking is allowed. Parking in a bike lane shall be
limited primarily to spillover parking for public uses or events, but parking for
non-public uses may also be considered.

Bike Paths
Bike paths are facilities used exclusively for bike traffic with minimal cross flow by motor
vehicles. They should be located primarily in greenbelt areas or park -type areas. If a
bike path is to be located in the right-of-way of an adjacent roadway there should be a
minimum of five feet (5') separating the bike path from the roadway.
The paved width and the operating width required for a bicycle path are primary design
considerations. Figure 5 depicts a bicycle path on a separated right-of-way. Under most
conditions, a recommended all -paved width for a two -directional bicycle path is ten feet
(10'). In some instances, however, a minimum of eight feet (8') can be adequate. This
minimum should be used only where the following conditions prevail: (1) bicycle traffic is
expected to be low, even on peak days or during peak hours (2) pedestrian use of the
facility is not expected to be more than occasional, (3) there will be good horizontal and
vertical alignment providing safe and frequent passing opportunities, (4) the path will not
be subjected to maintenance vehicle loading conditions that would cause pavement edge
damage. Under certain conditions it may be necessary or desirable to increase the width
of a bicycle path to twelve feet (12'); for example, because of substantial bicycle volume,
probable shared use with joggers and other pedestrians, use by large maintenance
vehicles, steep grades and where bicyclists will be likely to ride two abreast.

SECTION 9: RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT FOR INSTALLATION COSTS
9=A General
The subdivider shall pay all costs of materials and installation of streets, alleys, sidewalks,
drainage, and utilities, except as follows:
9=B Streets
Subject to statutory restrictions and approval of the City Council, the City may enter into a
development agreement agreeing to participate in the cost of thoroughfares where the width
required by the City is in excess of those requirements specified in Section 8-G.10. and
agreeing to participate in the extra cost according to the following guidelines:
9-13.1 The proposed thoroughfare and right-of-way, necessary for it must be located inside
the city limits of the City of College Station at the time the construction of the streets
is to begin.
9-B.2 The plans and specifications for the construction of the proposed thoroughfare must
have been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer of the City of College
Station.
9-B.3 The street must meet the criteria described in the City's "Future Land Use Plan", as
follows:
9-6.3.1 A Principal arterial located and designed to provide a direct traffic route over
fairly long distances within the metropolitan area. It is intended that traffic
volumes be relatively high, but speeds are high enough only to ensure
smooth flow. Access controls are provided only at major traffic junctures
with traffic controls located at most intersections. Frontage is either limited
-- or controlled by use of service road. Texas Avenue and University Drive are
examples of principal arterials.
9-8.3.2 A minor arterial located and designed to serve the high volume traffic needs
of the local area. These routes are continuous through the community, and
should connect with similar thoroughfares in adjacent cities. Access is con-
trolled through placement of entering streets, driveway prohibitions, medians,
left -turn lanes, and signalization. Holleman Drive and Southwest Parkway
are examples of minor arterials.
9-6.4 A prelimina re uest for oversize participation, based upon an engineer's estimate
for the project, must be presented to the City Council prior to the beginning of con-
struction. Upon approval of a preliminary request, funds will be encumbered through
a purchase order, with the total not to exceed the City's share plus a ten percent
(10%) contingency for participation in the approved project. Council approval and
participation shall be contingent and subject to commencement within one (1) year of
Council approval and completion of the thoroughfare by the date so designated by
the Council. If construction of an approved project is not either begun within one (1)
year of Council approval, or completed by the date designated by the Council, then
Councl approval shall be automatically revoked, the funds will be returned to the
oversize street fund and will be available for the next request. After the street has
been completed and accepted by the City Engineer, payment may be requested.
Payment will be contingent upon the City's receipt of a deed for the land and
improvements, an updated title report, and lien subordinations from all lenders. The
cost of the City's participation shall not increase more than ten percent (10%) over
the amount calculated using the engineer's estimate.
9-B.5 The City's participation shall be limited to a percentage of construction costs and the
actual value of the undeveloped land in excess of that required for the thor-oughfare
as established by an appraisal prepared by a MAI appraiser approved by the City

A developer has the option to construct the neighborhood park improvements in lieu
of the park development fee. Development plans and specifications shall be
reviewed and approved by the Parks Board. All improvements shall either be
financially guaranteed or accepted by the City prior to the filing of a plat in the case of
platted developments or prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy in the event
that platting is not required. The process of financial guarantee shall be the same as
that found in section 7 of the Subdivision Regulations and shall be used whether a
plat is required or not. Once improvements are accepted by the City the developer
shall deed the property and improvements to the City.
10-6.5 In instances where an area of less than five (5) acres is required to be dedicated, the
City shall have the right to accept the dedication for approval on the final plat, or to
refuse same, after consideration of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board. The City shall have the right to
require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount provided above, if it determines
that sufficient park area is already in the public domain in the area of the proposed
development, or if the recreation potential for that zone would be better served by
expanding or improving existing parks.
10-13.6 The dedication required by this section shall be made by filing of the final plat or
contemporaneously by separate instrument unless additional dedication is required
subsequent to the filing of the final plat. If the actual number of completed dwelling
units exceeds the figure upon which the original dedication was based, such
additional dedication shall be required, and shall be made by payment of the cash in
lieu of land amount provided above, or by the conveyance of an entire numbered lot
to the City.
10-B.7 The City may from time to time decide to purchase land for parks in or near the area
of actual or potential development. If the City does purchase park land in a park
zone, the City shall have the right to require subsequent park land dedications for
that zone to be in cash only. This will be to reimburse the City its purchase cost.
Once the City has been reimbursed entirely for all such park land within a park zone,
this subsection shall cease to apply, and the other subsections of this section shall
again be applicable.
1010=C. Prior Dedication: Absence of Prior Dedication
10-C.1 Credit shall be given for land and/or money dedicated pursuant to Ordinance 690 or
983.
9-43
Rev. 4/00
10-C.2 If a dedication requirement arose prior to passage of this section, that dedication
requirement shall be controlled by the ordinance in effect at the time such obligation
arose, except that additional dedication shall be required if the actual density of
structures constructed upon property is greater than the former assumed density.
Additional dedication shall be required only for the increase in density and shall be
based upon the ratio set forth in 10-B. of this section.
10-C.3 At the discretion of the City, any former gift of land to the City may be credited on a
per acre basis toward eventual land dedication requirements imposed on the donor
of such lands. The City Council shall consider the recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board in exercising its
discretion under this subsection.
1010=D. Special Fund: Right to Refund
10-D.1 There is hereby established a special fund for the deposit of all sums paid in lieu of
land dedication under this section or any preceding ordinance, which fund shall be
known as the park land dedication fund.
10-D.2 The City shall account for all sums paid in lieu of land dedication under this section
with reference to the individual plats involved. Any funds paid for such purposes
must be expended by the City within five (5) years from the date received by the City
for acquisition and/or development of a neighborhood park as defined herein. Such
funds shall be considered to be spent on a first in, first out basis. If not so expended,
the owners of the property on the last day of such period shall be entitled to a prorata
refund of such sum, computed on a square footage of area basis. The owners of
such property must request such refund within one (1) year of entitlement, in writing,
or such right shall be barred.
1010=E. Comprehensive Plan Considerations
10-E.1 The Park and Open Space Plan is intended to provide the College Station Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board with a guide upon which to base future decisions.
Because of the need to consider specific characteristics in the site selection process,
the park locations indicated on the Plan are general. The actual locations, sizes, and
number of parks will be determined when development occurs. The Plan will also be
used to locate desirable park sites before development occurs, and those sites may
be purchased by the City or received as donations.
10-E.2 Park Zones are established by the City's Comprehensive Plan and are configured to
indicate service areas for neighborhood parks. Zone boundaries are established that
follow key topographic features such as major thoroughfares, streams, and city limit
lines.
1010=F. Additional Reouirements: Definitions
10-F.1 Any land dedicated to the city under this section must be suitable for park and
recreation uses. Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be
considered "floodable" even though not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as,
due to its elevation, it is suitable for park improvements.
(a) Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner
that serves the greatest number of users.
(b) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to
cross arterial roadways to access them.
(c) Sites should not be severely sloping or have unusual topography which
would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities.
(d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements.
10-F.2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area
development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety and
9-44
Rev. 4/00
minimize conflict with adjacent land uses. The following guidelines should be used in
designing parks and adjacent development.
(a) Where physically feasible, park sites should be located adjacent to schools
in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co -development
of new sites.
(b) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict
reasonable access to the park from other area subdivisions. Street
connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be required to
provide reasonable access to parks.
(c) Where a non-residential use must directly abut a park, the use must be
separated by a screening wall or fence and landscaping. Access points to
the park may be allowed by the Planning and Zoning Commission if public
benefit is established.
(d) It is desirable that a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the perimeter of a park
should abut a public street. In all cases, the City shall approve the proposed
street alignment fronting on city parks.
(e) Streets abutting a park shall be built in accordance with the thoroughfare
plan and the standards of this ordinance; however, the City may require any
residential street built adjacent to a park to be constructed to collector width
to ensure access and prevent traffic congestion. Developer may request
oversize participation in such instance.
10=G. Consideration and Approval
Unless provided otherwise herein, an action by the City shall be by the City Council, after
consideration of the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
Parks and Recreation Board. Any proposal considered by the Planning and Zoning
Commission under this section shall have been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Board
and its recommendation given to the Commission. The Commission may make a decision
contrary to such recommendations only by a concurring vote of at least five (5) members.
Should the Commission be unable to get this vote, the matter shall then be referred to the
City Council for its decision.
10=H. Review of Dedication Requirements
The City shall review the fees set forth in this section every three (3) years. The City shall
take into account inflation as it affects land and park development costs as well as the City's
targeted level of service for parkland per one thousand population. Fees shall be set by
resolution of the City Council.

SECTION 12: RURAL RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
12-A. General
The requirements outlined herein are intended to allow the development of rural residential
subdivisions within the corporate boundary of the City of College Station, Texas. It is the
intent of this section that these regulations be used to create a rural type atmosphere for
development in areas where the Council through zoning deems it appropriate (See 12-F,
Zoning). It is not the intent of this section to sacrifice the integrity of the City of College
Station's current or future infrastructure systems.
1212=6. Applicable Sections
Sections 1-7, 9 and 10 are applicable in their entirety to rural residential subdivisions.
12-C. Community Assets
In all subdivisions, attention shall be given to all natural features such as trees, watercourses,
historical sites, and similar community assets, which, when preserved, will add attractiveness
and value to the property.
12-D. Suitability of Lands
The Commission shall not approve the subdivision of land, if from adequate investigations
conducted by staff, it has been determined that in the best interest of the public, the site is
not suitable for platting and development purposes of the kind proposed. Land located within
FEMA designated floodway and land deemed to be topographically unsuitable shall not be
platted for residential occupancy, nor for such other uses as may increase danger to health,
life, or property, or aggravate erosion or flood hazard. Development of the flood fringe shall
be controlled and designed in accordance with the City of College Station Drainage
Ordinance. Such land within the plat shall be set aside for uses that shall not be endangered
by periodic or occasional inundation or shall not produce unsatisfactory living conditions.
1212=E. Large Tracts or Parcels
When land is subdivided into larger parcels rather than ordinary lots, as defined in the Zoning
Ordinance, such parcels shall be arranged so as to allow for the opening of future streets and
logical further subdivisions. If the City's Comprehensive Plan requires principal streets to
cross the interior of the subdivision or lie anywhere within the subdivision, the right-of-way
shall be dedicated to the public.
1212=F. Zoning
No plat of land within the force and effect of an existing zoning ordinance shall be approved
unless it conforms to such zoning or other pertinent regulations. A rural residential
subdivision can only develop in a specific zone, as provided in the Zoning Ordinance,
Chapter 12, Section 7. These rural residential regulations may only be applied in areas
where the zone designation is A -OR.
12-G. Reserved Strips Prohibited
There shall be no reserved strips controlling access to land dedicated or intended to be
dedicated to the public.

12-1.1 Goal
The goal of this section is to provide each lot in a rural residential subdivision with access to
a durable and maintainable public/private street with adequate capacity, while retaining rural
aesthetics and cost effectiveness, and without compromise to the City of College Station
Thoroughfare and Transportation Improvement Plan.
12-1.2 Street Layout
Adequate streets shall be provided by the subdivider such that the arrangement, character,
extent, width, and grade of each shall conform to the Thoroughfare and Transportation
Improvement Plan of the City and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned
streets, to the topographical conditions, to the public safety and convenience, and to their
appropriate relationship to the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets.
12-1.3 Relation to Adjoining Street Systems
Where necessary to the neighborhood pattern, existing streets in adjacent or adjoining areas
shall be continued, in alignment therewith. Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the
arrangement of streets in the subdivision shall make provision for the proper projection of
streets into such areas.
12-1.4 Street Jogs
Whenever possible, street jogs with center -line offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five
feet (125') shall be avoided.
12-1.5 Half Streets
No half streets shall be platted.
12-1.6 Dead-end Streets
Dead-end streets shall be prohibited except short stubs to permit extension. Temporary
turnarounds may be required.
12-1.7 Cul-de-Sacs
Cul-de-sacs shall not exceed two thousand feet (2000') in length to radius point, and shall

diameter of eighty feet (80'). The number of dwelling units may not exceed thirty (30) on any
cul-de-sac, regardless of length.
12-1.8 Street Intersections
Acute angles between streets at their intersections are to be avoided.
12-1.9 Principal Streets on Master Plan
Where a subdivision embraces a major or minor arterial or collector street as shown on the
City of College Station Thoroughfare and Transportation Improvement Plan, such street shall
be platted to maintain continuity in the approximate location as shown, and of the type
indicated. In certain cases the City may have constructed a street through the area to be
subdivided, in which case the subdivider shall develop the necessary street intersections at
his expense, in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. The Planning & Zoning
Commission may require that, where practical, residential lots adjacent to arterial streets or
parkways be platted or restricted so as to prevent driveways opening into such streets.
All principal streets, major and minor arterials and collectors (if they will be continuous
beyond the rural residential subdivision) shall be constructed to urban standards as
contained in Section 8-G, Streets. All residential streets and those collectors, which are
Rev. 4100 9-49
wholly contained within the rural residential subdivision and provide internal circulation for the
rural residential subdivision(s) only, may be constructed to the standards contained within
this section.
12-1.10 Minor Streets
Minor streets shall be laid out to discourage through traffic.
(Ordinance No. 2188 of June 26, 1996)
