College Station Comprehensive Plan
City of College Station, Texas
SUB-AREA 7A
This area is located along the south side of Harvey Road, extending from FM 158 to
Pamela Lane. The area has developed as a mixture of residential, commercial and
institutional uses. The area is platted as a portion of the Harvey Hillsides subdivision.
The terrain falls from FM 158 to the west. Water and sewer are available.
The Land Use plan should reflect this area as it is developed - Mixed Use.
Rezoning proposals for changing the residences fronting Harvey Road in this area to a
commercial use may be expected in the future. Zoning changes should not be made on a
lot by lot basis. Such conversions should be addressed through the consolidation of
property. Non-residential zones should be limited to lower intensity uses. The relatively
small lots in this area abut other residential lots. The lot sizes and limited natural buffers
in the area limit the ability to mitigate land use conflicts and impacts. The PDD approach
should be used to provide for any land use changes through consolidation of property.
Higher density single family uses may be appropriate on some of the deeper lots if they can
be oriented away from FM 30 and provide internal access.
SUB-AREA 7B
This area includes the tracts fronting
along the south side of Harvey Road
from Pamela Lane to Linda Lane. The
tracts back up to the Harvey Hillsides
low density single family area.
The area includes both vacant and developed tracts. A portion of the area is zoned C-3
Planned Commercial, a portion of which has recently developed as an office. Additionally,
two PDD zoned tracts have been approved for development of a restaurant and a
condominium complex. The remaining property is zoned A-0-
Terrain here slopes away from Harvey Road, falling toward the residential area to the
south. There is a small creek meandering along the south side of the area. The areas

City of College Station, Texas
alongside the creek are wooded and present a natural buffer to the residential area to the
south. Water and sewer are available in the area.
The Land Use Plan should show the area as Mixed Use with an emphasis on consolidation
of property. Appropriate uses would include light commercial, office/service, and higher
density single family. Specific land use conflicts and impacts should be addressed through
the PDD review and approval process. These include type and placement of outdoor
lighting, location and orientation of outdoor facilities, preservation of natural buffers and
others as determined by the Commission and Council.
Sus-AREA 7C
This area consists of an undeveloped A-O zoned tract of approximately 29 acres. The
tract extends from Linda Lane to the west, along the south side of Harvey Road. This
heavily wooded tract is relatively flat and has little depth at its western end. The eastern
portion of this tract slopes from Harvey Road to the south. Water and sewer are available
in this area.
The tract is zoned A-O. It abuts the Harvey Hillsides subdivision. The depth of the tract
off of Harvey Road varies. The tract has little depth at its western end, where there is also
some 100-year floodplain.
This tract is poorly sited for residential development at the same density of the Harvey
Hillsides lots that abut it. Lots of that density would have to front on Harvey Road. That
was an acceptable development style at the time that Harvey Hillsides developed. Current
development policies and practices discourage residential lots fronting along this type of
road. The shallow depth on portions of the lot limit commercial development potential.
This same depth problem limits buffers for the residences to the south.
It is recommended that this area be reflected as Attached Residential on the Land Use Plan
to allow for patio homes and townhomes. Professional services or office uses could be
included as part of a mixed use development or an office district may be used if design
requirements are changed to address residential adjacency issues. Specific land use
conflicts and impacts may need to be addressed through the PDD review and approval
process. The residential districts should be changed to add design requirements to require
inward orientation, buffering, and limited access. Residential uses should be oriented
away from FM 30 and individual driveways should not be allowed.
The recommendations, as adopted, will result in an amendment to the Land Use Plan as
depicted in Figure 49.

PDD POLICY
AS APPROVED BY THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 2001
The goal of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage
innovative development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the
natural environment. In order to justify varying from certain standards, the
proposed development should demonstrate community benefits. To achieve this
goal, the City of College Station has adopted the following policies:
1. CONCEPTS ONLY: A PDD should not be used to guarantee specific site or
building characteristics within a development. A PDD should be submitted for
multiple sites, and should not be used to apply additional development standards
to a single site.
2. RELIANCE ON EXISTING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: A PDD should
not be used to require buffering or other standards that are over and above
existing district standards. If the existing buffering standards are deemed
inadequate, the standards themselves should be reviewed and upgraded.
3. INNOVATIVE DESIGN: A PDD application should be encouraged where a
development is to follow a modern trend style such as new urbanism, mixed use,
or cluster, and that includes all or some of the following elements:
❑ Preservation of open space in prominent locations with good vehicular,
pedestrian, and bicycle access
❑ Preservation of wetlands, ponds, or other natural resources
❑ Good connectivity within the development as well as connectivity to
surrounding neighborhoods and thoroughfares
❑ Significant amenities located in highly visible locations with good
vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle access
❑ Preservation of significant tree stands
❑ Inclusion of neighborhood supporting uses such as workplaces,
recreation, shopping, and personal services with orientation to the
neighborhood and good pedestrian and bicycle access
❑ Incorporation of public transit waiting stations in pedestrian friendly areas
❑ Accommodation of the existing topography to minimize required grading
❑ A mix of residential densities and housing styles
❑ Inclusion of urban open spaces such as plazas or marketplaces
❑ Location of elementary school sites in areas easily accessible by
pedestrians and cyclists
❑ Connectivity of natural areas within the development and to those in
surrounding areas
❑ Avoidance of cul-de-sacs
❑ Traffic calming features
