Parking Lot Standards and All Weather
Temporary Drives
The City of College Station currently has a detail for asphalt parking lot
pavements During the recent past, the City. has had numerous requests for
concrete paving within parking lots as well... We do not. have a standard for
concrete parking lots within the Zoning Ordinance. We have been using, as a
guide, .our concrete alley standard. This has been challenged recently and as
such, staff felt it was important to place on the record, a minimum paved section
for concrete parking lots.
In addition, we have referenced an all weather surface for temporary
drives usually constructed during a project that is used for emergency vehicles
or for temporary drives used during the "phasing" of a project. Although we have
referenced "all weather" surface, we do not .have a published standard to give to
engineers and developers. This section will allow us to be consistent in our
application of this #erm and allow engineers and developers to know our
standard.

DATE: November 14,..1996
RE: Parking Lot Standards and All-Weather Surfaces
Back in September, this item came to the Commission for review and recommendation to
Council. At that time, there were questions regarding how long these "all-weather"
surfaces could be kept in place. The intent of the ordinance amendment was not to allow
other standards in lieu of permanent pavement standards. for parking lots or access ways,
but. rather to allow some alternatives for use during construction, phasing of projects and
for EMERGENCY ACCESS. ONLY permanent installations. It was apparent after
hearing the Commission's concerns that the intent was not clearly worded in the ordinance
amendment. We have made changes to try .and address the Commission's concerns and
more clearly explain the types of "all-weather" surfaces and under what circumstances
they may be used. Hopefully, these changes have answered the earlier concerns and
questions and more succinctly explain the appropriate scenarios for their use.
