REVIEW CRITERIA
October 20, 2016
October 27, 2016
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The City of College
Station Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 2009, followed by the Five-Year
Evaluation in 2014. As part of the evaluation process, several items in Chapter 6-
Transportation of the Comprehensive Plan were identified to be updated. As a result of
these updates to Chapter 6 -Transportation, the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways
Master Plan was also amended in 2015.
There are many changing conditions on the southwest side of College Station, including the
proposal of two new schools within close proximity of an existing elementary school,
expanding residential developments, the planned closure of railroad crossings at Wade
Road and Straub Road by Union Pacific Rail Road in the extra-territorial jurisdiction, and the
addition of a railroad crossing at Greens Prairie Trail which is currently under construction.
The City currently has Capital Improvement Projects for Royder Road and Greens Prairie
Trail which are in preliminary engineering phases. In order to appropriately respond to
these changing conditions, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was hired by the City of
College Station to analyze the Thoroughfares in this area.
2. Scope of the request: The amendment to Chapter 6 -Transportation including an updated
Thoroughfare Plan, an updated Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan and
associated maps. Based on the results of the consultant's analysis, staff is recommending
the following:
a) Modify the Thoroughfare Plan to include a railroad crossing and realignment for
Koppe Bridge Road between l&GN Road and Wellborn Road.
b) Realign Royder Road to align with the proposed Koppe Bridge Railroad
Crossing.
c) Upgrade the classification of Koppe Bridge Road from a Minor Collector to a
Major Collector to include bike lanes and sidewalks.
d) Downgrade the classification of the future thoroughfare immediately north of
Koppe Bridge Road from a Major Collector to a Minor Collector to include bike
routes and sidewalks.
e) Remove South Dowling Road and Greens Prairie Road West from the
Thoroughfare Plan and bike routes for the portions between l&GN Road and
Wellborn Road.
3. Availability of adequate information: Kimley Horn and Associates were hired in 2016 to
update the City's TransCAD transportation model. The updated model supports the
proposed changes.
4. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan: This amendment is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it promotes a safe, efficient, and well-connected
multi-model transportation designed to be sensitive to surrounding land uses.
5. Consideration of the Thoroughfare Plan and Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways
Master Plan: An amendment to the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan is also
included in this Comprehensive Plan amendment, as some of the changes impact location
Planning & Zoning Commission
October 20, 2016
Page 2 of 3
of sidewalks and bike lanes. The Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Advisory Board
unanimously recommended approval of the presented Alternative No. 3 amendment at their
September 6th meeting.
6. Compatibility with the surrounding area: The existing Context Zones in Chapter 6 -
Transportation would allow for roadways to be designed to be more compatible with the
surrounding areas.
7. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: There will be no impacts with regard to water, wastewater and
drainage. This amendment will update the City's transportation plan to ensure adequate
transportation facilities within the planning horizon.
8. Impact on the City's ability to provide, fund, and maintain services: There will be no
directly associated funding impacts to the City, but future projects will be evaluated
accordingly.
9. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: Any environmental impacts
would need to be evaluated as part of any future roadway projects.
10. Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in
the Plan's vision and goals: This amendment enhances the Plan 's vision and goals by
updating the City's transportation plans to ensure adequate transportation facilities in the
future within the planning horizon.
